Baku woke with a gasp. He tried to calm down, the best he could but found that hard. 'Why....? Why did I have to remember that...?' he thought. His heart rate was heavy and his chest hurt a bit. Tears streamed down his face. Kiri walked in and looked him over. His expression was warm towards him. "Oh, you're awake. Rest well, I take it?" he said and asked. Baku calmed himself down, stayed quiet but nodded. Kiri came close to Baku & pulled him to his feet, removing the choker from his wrist and looking into his crimson eyes. He pulled him against his chest and whispered into his ear. "This could be a lot easier if you listen to me more." Baku closed his eyes. "F-Fine.." was all he said said. Kiri let him go and Baku sat back down, not once looking up at Kiri. After a little bit of total silence, Kiri sighed. "Bakugou, you know that I only want the best for you, right? You make it harder on yourself when you disobey me," he said in a soft and calming tone. Baku nodded. He finally looked up. His expression was one of a saddened child but a calm one as well. He smiled faintly and slowly stood up. "M-master..? I-I'm sorry..." he stuttered. Kiri looked at him in a bit of shock. "Oh now you speak?" he said lowly. Baku looked down again. "I-" Kiri grabbed his chin and made him look up. "Answer. The. Question." he said darkly. Baku stayed quiet and shut his eyes. He was scared, more than ever now, of Kirishima. Kiri let him go and walked to the door. "When you decide to speak you'll get something to eat." He said and left. Baku hated his life now and sat up against the wall once more. He got quiet and slowly fell back to sleep.
