Y/N’s eyes began to water, and against her better wishes, tears fell down her face. Bakugo who was still looking at the hand print on Y/N’s neck, was too preoccupied to notice Y/N’s muttering or rambling.
“ You knew?.... The whole time you knew?” She muttered. “ How?”
“ Who did this to you?” Bakugo repeated. “ Y/N are you okay?” He asked, only to hear her crazed ramblings and confused muttering. He grabbed her chin to help her focus, to help her calm down. “ Y/N... are you okay?” He asked. Her eyes darted around his face, looking at him as if he was the only person left in the world.
“ No.” She muttered, he let go of her chin, and took a few steps back. He went over to his desk, pulled out the desk chair, and rolled it over to the bed in front of her. The wheels scraping on the floor as he did it.
“ I need...” Y/N whispered, but her sentence trailed off. It was like she forgot what she was saying mid sentence, and she drifted off to a dream.
“ What do you need Y/N? “ he asked, his voice was as about as gentle as it was going to get.
“ I need... I need my mom. I need to talk to my mom, because she would tell me what to do. But I can’t talk to her because she’s... dead.”
“ And my dad, who my mom told me died, is working with the League- and.... and he didn’t even notice me. He didn’t even know I was his kid. And my nose is bleeding, and I think I broke my ribs... and my leg hurts... and I don’t know how to fix it. My head hurts and I’m tired, and I don’t know what to do about it.” She muttered, her voice was only slightly above a whisper.
“ My mom would know what to do. My mom would know, my mom would know what to say. My friends would know what to say too, but they won’t even say anything to me. Probably won’t even look at me, because they hate me. Everybody in my life hates me because they think I betrayed them.”
“ Y/N” Bakugo tried to intrude again, but Y/N just kept talking, as if she were talking to herself and Bakugo wasn’t in the room. Like she snapped into a trance of her own nightmares.
“ And my head hurts, and my arm hurts, and I miss my mom , and my nose....” she continued on. Tears still flowing down her face, and her eyes grew bright red.
It was only then that Bakugo realized that he wouldn’t be able to help her, that no amount of his aggression, that no amount of anger at anybody will help her. She was in so much pain and he didn’t know how to make that go away, but he at least had to try.
“ Y/N,” he whispered, crouching in front of her and touching her leg, it almost snapped her out of reality. “ When was the last time that you ate?”
“ Okay.” He whispered, then he walked over to his desk, dug around for a bit, and pulled out a granola bar and a bag of chips. He handed it to Y/N, who ate both of them in a total of one minute. After she finished, her lips formed into a pout and the tears dried up.
“ Do you hate me?” she whispered.
“ I could never hate you.” The air grew silent and still. The few things that could be heard, were Y/N’s ocassional sniffing and the air conditioning unit. “ Are you tired?” Bakugo asked, looking at Y/N’s tired eyes, and puffy face.
Y/N meekly nodded in response. Wordlessly Bakugo nodded ,and handed her a cover, and nodded for her to lie down. She just hunched over in response.
“ M’ scarred.” she spoke her breathing becoming harsh.
“ It’s okay. I’m here.” Bakugo replied, he sat down next to her, pulled her head into his lap, and stroked her hair. Soon her breathing calmed and her heart remained calm. “ It’s okay, you’re going to be okay.”
But Bakugo wasn’t. Bakugo was angry, he was beyond angry, and the only reason why he wasn’t yelling at anyone at the moment, was because of Y/N. But tomorrow morning, he had a bone to pick with someone. The person who did this to Y/N, All Might himself.
