Chapter 11 (Finale)

                                    

                                          
"Bakugou...It's been a week. You need to come out."
Kirishima stood on the other side of the door that blocked him from Katsuki. "Everyone's worried. I'm worried." He was met without a reply. 
"Bakugou. I'm coming in." Kirishima jiggled the door knob, realizing it's locked. He activated his quirk, successfully banging off the knob and entering the room. 
Kirishima finally entered the room, being met by Katsuki who sat upright in his bed.
"You haven't eaten since you came back Bakugou. Come down and eat. You're ruining yourself."
Katsuki ignored him once again, his gaze being fixated on the foot of his bead. 
Kirishima became annoyed. He walked up on Katsuki's bedside. 
"Bakugou I've said it once and I'll say it a thousand times more. This whole situation...It would out of your control. They've already finalized that the man you were with had been injecting Izuku with drugs. You couldn't have known. What was it...Ventillian? It makes whoever takes it lose almost all their senses of morals. You can't blame yourself for this."
Katsuki refused to look at Kirishima. "He told me that Vin was going to kill him." 
Kirishima looked up, finally hearing Katsuki speak for the first time. 
"He said it over and over again. And I...ignored him. He pleaded with me. And I called him crazy." 
Katsuki finally looked up, locking eyes with Kirishima. Tears now falling from his face. "How could it not be my fault?"
Katsuki sobbed by Kirishima. Kirishima's eyes began to swell with tears as well. 
"Bakugou... All of UA lost a friend. We're all grieving with you. Just please share your pain with us. You're only ruining yourself staying in this room." 
Katsuki sniffed, finally wiping the tears from his face. He gave Kirishima a slight nod. 
Kirishima helped Katsuki out of his bed. The blond boy stumbled when he finally stood up. He hadn't left bed for the whole week and took time to finally find his balance. 
Kirishima gave Katsuki a weak smile and sighed. "C'mon. I made something to eat."
Katsuki held onto Kirishima by his wrist. Kirishima noticed, but chose to disregard it. When they finally exited the room, Bakugou was met with his other friends waiting outside. Mina, Sero, and Kaminari all stood in the hallway, each of them giving a weak smiling to Katsuki. As much as he wanted to, he couldn't return their warm smile. 
Kirishima led Katsuki down the hall, the rest of his friends quietly walking behind him. 
"And...Why do we have to stay quiet?" Sero questioned. 
Mina elbowed Sero. "Because we can't overwhelm him. He...We lost an important person, and he felt it the most. He was there. Do you know how horrible that is?" 
Sero clenched his fists. "Yeah...Sorry.." 
The group finally made it down to the main area. There, they were met with the rest of Class 1-A. At first glance, they seemed to just be doing their own every day things. But the mood of the room was dark. The students mopped, sadness expressed on each of their faces. When Katsuki made it to the room, all the students stopped and stared. 
Katsuki felt the eyes pierce through him. He stepped back as if their eyes were physically pushing him away. Kirishima held onto him though, continuing to lead him to the kitchen. 
The room was quiet, not like it was any noisier before they arrived.  
Soon, the room filled with tiny whispers.
