[ He wakes up and looks up at the ceiling. It's a dorm ceiling. Just like every morning. But he rolls over to reach for his phone. Is that what his alarm always sounded like?
And that's when the sheets come into focus.
These are not his sheets.
What the fuck is going on.
He rips the sheets back to stand and. He's taller. He's not in his pajamas. He takes a good hard look down at himself and he's not in his own body
So he runs to the mirror and is faced with.... Shinsou Hitoshi. Great.
He yanks up the phone and thank god it has a thumbprint passcode. ]
[ It's one of those rare times that Hitoshi actually sleeps, and sleeps well. So of course when he wakes up, he has no idea where he is. These are not his rarely-used sheets. This is not his beautiful wife, et cetera.
This is, also, not his body.
It's... shorter. Stocky. He feels... sweaty. The mirror almost seems to laugh at him as it confirms the literal worst case scenario. The mostly-naked body of Bakugou Katsuki.
Fantastic. ]
I'm up.
[ Thumbprint passcode? Not so lucky. But of course the four digit number is 0420 - Bakugou's birthday. ]
If I can get into it, so could a villain. Your birthday is a shitty choice.
[ For Hitoshi's part, there's already a dilemma. Bakugou's sweat thing feels legitimately disgusting, but not only would getting in the shower in someone else's body be kind of an invasion of privacy... well, he's not sure he's ready to see exactly what the reality of those dreams he's been having looks like. ]
I have no idea, but I'd like that back, if you don't mind.
[ He'd just about resigned himself to trying to take some kind of spitbath and pretend he's not touching the same body he's seen most times he's closed his eyes for the past month or so when another text comes in. ]
[ It's not really a secret, it's just not people's business. Midoriya knows because he's irritatingly observant, ditto Asui, and Iida does through family connection - but nobody else. ]
If he doesn't answer, try Vocaloid. That's Mic. If they're out fishing dad's phone will be off, but his won't.
[ He makes it sound non-negotiable, but he does wait to see what Bakugou's response will be. He's not going to do anything to a body that isn't his without permission, whether he's in it or not. ]
Don't be a baby about it. It's a body. It's no different from mine.
[ It feels totally different, and there's definitely something uncomfortable that he can't put his finger on that has nothing to do with the sweat, but still. ]
[ Going to the body's classes to minimize diffusion of knowledge about the situation would be the logical thing, what with them not knowing if this is somehow villain-related, but... ]
For the love of god do not show up at General.
[ He's having a hard enough time with some of them already. Not everyone is as excited as he is about his pending transfer. ]
You don't have his number on here for me to ask him, so you do it. Makes sense to me to call it a sick day, but he might have other ideas.
He said it's up to us. He doesn't see the problem with my body going to general and yours going to heroics to at least hear the lectures. That's the most FUCKING Eraser answer I've ever heard I'm so pissed
[ ... God, he really doesn't want to face them at General looking like this either. ]
Go to your classes if you want to. Mine aren't that important anymore anyway.
[ Aizawa would kill him if he caught him saying that, especially given that Heroics still has all the subjects General does only more condensed to fit the rest in, but shh. ]
Just don't do anything weird with my body. And don't use my quirk. Looks like muscle memory mostly has yours covered, so I'm fine, but you might not be able to control Brainwash.
[ What he'd like to do is go with Bakugou to Heroics - but he's aware of how much to ask that is. ]

[ There's a long pause between messages. ]
Why the fuck don't you have Aizawa's number saved?!
[ Of course that's the first thing he thinks to do and EVERYONE knows he's helping to train him. ]
no subject
I do. It's under Dad.

... He's your actual fucking dad?

[ Because it's obvious as shit to him they're together. Not that he really cares.
But anyway. He tries that. ]
He said he's doing research on what quirks this could be.
no subject
[ He's just fucking with him on purpose at this point. ]
How do you deal with sweating this much?
[ Most of this is from sleep, obviously, and he's not actively dripping or anything. But still. ]
no subject
The fuck do you mean sweating this much
[ It seems like nothing to him? ]
no subject
I'm sticky. I'm getting in the shower.

You slept in your underwear though, so I've already seen most of it.

I guess we should meet up, at least.

[ Just in case. ]

... On second thought, this is you we're talking about.
Just... concentrate on not starting it at all.
