[It's still a bother to him to have broken that promise after he made such a big deal about Izuku holding to it. Che... well if Izuku ever does the same, he'll be able to call a one-for-one "we're even now" and Katsuki won't be able to do shit but growl at him without argument. Luckily instances that call for that will be rare.

Hopefully.]

Okay. [Katsuki tests his side before pushing himself up to his feet.] Let's go. Get the woman; got something to tell her too.

[With that, he goes for the groceries.]

[ Izuku doesn't argue, although he closes up the kit and throws out the used items that need to be thrown out before he retrieves the gem woman. ]

[Once the two of them are back, Bakugou describes his attacker, as well as giving a quick run down of his body manipulation abilities that he'd been able to suss out. He'd give Izuku more detail alone, but since he couldn't be sure he wasn't being stalked, he at least didn't want the asshole going after people completely clueless.

He'd already told the woman someone was after him before she let him in, so at least she already knows the danger and accepted the potential risk.]

[ Izuku's never met the guy and says so, but he files it away to be on guard if he ever does. Sounds like another gembonded...?

After that, it's probably easy to snag a room. None of the gembonded ever need be homeless here. ]

[Katsuki's not surprised to hear he hasn't met him, but once the woman's agreed to see them off, he's leaving with Izuku and heading to the room they can snag. Just going to drop all the shit off and sink down by the wall.]

Probably don't have to worry too much. If he bothers us in our house, I'll get the Diamond Guard involved and they'll fuck him over.

You say that, but you don't want to go home right now, do you?

[ Or, more pointedly, to the hospital. ]

Already said I'm not going back for a few days, Deku.

[Keep your head on, idiot.]

We'll spend the night at the hospital. Crash with the fucking Failure Pirates for two days, then go home.

[Plus they can warn their allies.]

I'm assuming that doubles as a place to surveil our house from...

[ He'll have to pick up some clothes changes or something. ...are any of those groceries going to go bad, actually? ]

Yeah.

[Another reason he deliberately got the lot within eyesight of the pirates' home. Don't worry, he's got a cold pack in there. Plus this room's ACed.]

Mm...probably should warn at least Shinso-kun and Jiro-san. She's living alone.

[ He hasn't spoken to the remaining adults in a while and they can probably handle themselves... ]

Bedhead went home already?

[Katsuki frowns at the information. he hasn't spoken to any of their teachers in a long time. Hell, last time he'd spoken to Endeavor was while trying to rip his throat out as the devil.]

Mm...we were talking a while ago, but her username went offline. Last I checked Endeavor and Hawks still have contacts, but the person I spoke to most recently was Jiro-san. I mean...obviously besides you.

[ He's pretty certain that part could have gone without saying.

Izuku sits down cross legged. He'd been out for a run originally, so he's in sweats and a shirt. Nothing fancy. ]

Tanuki Eyes is also gone.

[All Might and Aizawa are gone, not sure about Present Mic. It's annoying, but in a way he's glad they're not stuck here.

A small "mh" is all the obvious statement gets.]

Shit, I wanna go home.

[ Izuku doesn't respond to that for a moment. He misses home and has so much he needs to do there, but...the longer they're here, the more of a loss it is.

Not like they'll ever even know about that loss. And honestly, Izuku would make the trade willingly for the sake of everyone back home, but even so...he doesn't like to think about it too much. ]

I know.

[Even the consolation their time isn't move, they're not losing anything at home, isn't enough to hold off the crashing wave of homesickness. He's hurt, he's bleeding, his body aches, they can't go back to their house, they're stuck in this stupid empty room together... Katsuki folds his arms across his knees and rests his head on his forearms.

This fucking sucks. He hates it.]

[ It's worrying, really, and Izuku wants to do something. Anything, just to be moving again. ]

Maybe I should go check around home. Or at least do some recon.

I'm going with you.

[He already told him to stay and if Izuku's stubbornly going to leave, then Katsuki's going to just as stubbornly come with.

Mostly because he wants to do something to and not sit here in homesickness and wariness.]

If you're moving, we're taking you to the hospital. You definitely need stitches.

[ Not being dragged on missions. Which Izuku wouldn't argue if Katsuki at least saw a doctor... ]

Then you're coming with me. You're not going out there alone.

[Period. He's doing his damnest to look as stubborn and ready as he always is, as if he doesn't have big bandages all over his torso and arm.]

[ Does Katsuki plan not to sleep to keep Izuku in check! ]

Okay. You can still walk, right?

[Wow. Going that far, huh. And probably won't have a choice in the hospital. Just make sure you're back when he wakes up.]

Of course I can! I walked here.

Then let's go. [ But he's grabbing the bag of groceries and will fight Katsuki for it. ]

Hey! That's mine!

[Verbal fighting at least.]

It's not like my fucking arm came off!

[Just one arm has a hole in it and the opposite side's ribs got slashed open. Aka, Izuku's making the better call and Katsuki's pissy.]

[ Okay, or, consider: ]

I'm carrying it now or you're not allowed to ever try to carry anything for me if I'm injured.

[ He thinks that might actually tick Katsuki off these days. ]

Nghrh!

[Sounds like someone just pulled a rein on his neck. Katsuki's head twitches back and his teeth bare, but it's had the intended effect.

Bastard... who does he think he is, knowing what to say...]

What if you're the thing I'm carrying?

[As he sulks along beside him like a petulant teenager.]
