Why does war even happen? Greed, always at the center of everything. During my 2nd year in high school a war broke out. Pretty frightening considering there are so many different quirks in the world. I still remember when a recruiter came to our school wanting to draft students. Saying participating in the war is an extended part of being a hero. I don't think so but I also don't have a quirk either. I know for a fact if I did I would probably be the first to sign up and help my country.
"Here we are," smiled mom. "Isn't this exciting, Bakugou graduating from U.A.!"
"Great," I fake smiled because it still hurt that I didn't get into the same high school as him. Seeing what some of his classmates went through I almost wonder if it was for the best. Bakugou became even more of ass. I have known him since we were kids, things changed when he got his quirk and I didn't. I sigh wondering why I'm even going to this party. He probably doesn't even want me there. I adjust my tee shirt as we make our way to their front door. Mom rings the door bell and I can hear Bakugou mom yell.
"It's open!" We open the door walking inside and it appears to be a lot of family here as well as friends. To the right is the kitchen with a small dining area. Beyond the dining table is the living room which is where most of the party goers seem to be at. I recognize some of Bakugou's classmates from TV and a few from his Facebook. A few of them I'm even friends with. "Glad you could make it!"
"You know we would be here!" smiled mom. "This is such a big thing for our boys." My graduation was last week and U.A. was this week. I can see Bakugou sitting with his classmates bragging as he always does it appears. "Izuku go ahead and give Bakugou his gift." I sigh as I make my way over to him. I had no idea what I was even going to get Bakugou. He has an excellent sneaker collection so I decided to get him some new Nikes that came out. I think he would like these since they are the color of his hero suit. I approach Bakugou with his best friend Kirishima noticing me first.
"Hi Midoriya!" he grinned. "It's great to see you!" He looks the same with his spiked red hair and bright smile. His skin is slightly tanned but he is more toned than the last time I had seen him in person. Makes me wonder if he was trying to gain muscle.
"Same," I replied before turning to Bakugou. "How are you feeling?"
"How do you think I am feeling," he snorted. "I gradated 2nd in my class." Bakugou actually looks handsome. His sandy blonde hair slightly spiked, rocking a nice dress shirt but he just had to have his jeans on and some sneakers.
"Really?" I questioned. "I certainly thought you would have been first." Wrong thing to say since Bakugou hand explodes.
"It's a sore spot for him," whispered Kirishima. "He lost the number one spot to Todoroki." Todoroki is incredible unstoppable force from what I have seen. I shouldn't be surprised he graduated at the top of their class.
"You will always be number one in my eyes Kacchan," I say to be encouraging. I call Bakugou Kacchan because it is what I called him when we were kids. No one else really calls him that, well Kirishima from time to time. He rolls his eyes snatching the box out of my hand.
"What the fuck did you get me?" he asked.
"Rude much," said his female classmate Uraraka.
"It's my house and my damn party," snaps Bakugou. "If you don't like it you can get the fuck out." Uraraka gives me a weak smile and I return the smile. I always liked her out of all the girls in his class. She is super sweet and would actually take time out to talk to me. She is one of his classmates I'm friends with on Facebook. She looks nice today wearing a cute skirt and a nice blouse. Bakugou begins to rip off the wrapping paper. He opens the box and I see the excitement in his eyes but only for a second before it turned back to his usually scowl.
"What did he get you?" asked Kiminari. I like the blonde boy, full of energy and super encouraging despite Bakugou's bitterness. Bakugou holds up the Nike sneakers so everyone can see them.
"That is so awesome," said Kirishima. "The colors look just like your hero outfit!" I blush that someone else noticed such details.
"They are okay," replied Bakugou. He careful puts the shoe back in the box.
"Aren't you going to try them on?" asked Uraraka.
"No," said Bakugou sitting the box aside.
"You should at least tell Midoriya thank you," says Asui. Asui is wearing a nice blouse and skirt as well. I can't help but notice she is wearing heels. The way her legs turn inward slightly the heels stand out more. Her jet black hair is actually lightly curled.
"Whatever," mutter Bakugou. He goes back to talking with his classmates as if I am not even there. I sigh as I make my way over to the punch bowl. I know my mom is talking to his mom and I will stuck here a while. I sip my drink looking for someone where to sit.
"Midoriya," says Uraraka walking up to me.
"Hey," I smiled.
"Sorry Bakugou is being so rude," she says.
"It's okay," I smiled. "No one can control Kacchan, not even his mom." She giggles before walking closer to me. She gets so close I begin to blush a little.
"I didn't see you at the service." she says grabbing a cup for herself.
"I had to go up to the community college and register for classes," I replied.
"Cool," she replied. "What is your major?"
"I don't know yet," I replied. "I really wish I could be hero but that isn't going to happen. I'm thinking physical therapy at the moment."
"I think you would be great at that!" exclaimed Uraraka. "You would still be helping people in your own way. Helping heroes too I am sure."
"Thanks," I reply smiling hard. I wasn't sure if that is what I wanted to do but now I'm sure that is what I'm going to do. "I think I will make that my major." Uraraka and I end talking until her and Asui leave to go visit another classmate. I watch as everyone leaves little by little. Bakugou wonder off with the last of his friends. I didn't want to overcrowd him so I started playing a game on my phone. My mom comes over to me.
"Izuku we will be leaving shortly," she informs me.
"Okay, let me say good bye to Kacchan," I tell her standing up. I walk over to Bakugou room, I can hear Kirishima and Bakugou's voice. I stop short of knocking on the door when he says
"Yeah I'm signing up to be in the war,"
"Your mom is going to kill you!" exclaimed Kirishima.
"I know but this war is more important than me being a hero," stated Bakugou. "I save a million more lives. I will be the best at this and you know it. I will get free housing, free food, and I still get paid."
"I don't know about this," said Kirishima. "You're going against other people and you don't know their quirks, this is really dangerous."
"No one is more dangerous than me," smirked Bakugou. "I'm going down there to sign up tomorrow." I felt my chest fill up with so much pain. Bakugou is going to war. Yes he is great but still, he could….die.
"You're seriously not going to tell your mom," stated Kirishima. "That is messed up."
"Izuku!" called my mom. I turn towards her voice panicking. I see Bakugou open his room door as my mom approaches.
"Did you say goodbye," she inquires.
"Yeah he did," lies Bakugou giving me his best death stare.
"Um yeah…" I replied. "I'll see you later Kacchan." I run behind my mother as we head out of the door. I'm sure Bakugou knows that I was ease dropping on his conversation. I mean yes going into war is the total ultimate hero move for our peers, our people, our country but Bakugou is only 18 years old. He has barely had time to live. I get back home and it's all I can think about. My mom notices that I'm distracted but doesn't pry to figure out what is wrong. I head straight to my room trying to figure out how to stop Kacchan from doing this. I see my phone light up letting me know I got some type of notification. I snatch the phone up and see I got a Facebook notification.
I open it seeing Uraraka, Asui, and even Kiminari tagged me in some photos. I see a message pop up the bottom of the screen. Who is that? I see Kacchan name alone with "How much did you hear Deku?" I look at the message trying to decide if I should even respond.
Midoriya: I didn't hear anything
Kacchan: You're lying you quirkless fuck!
I sigh. He always has to remind how I am quirkless, worthless, and he is better than me in every way possible. Bakugou is a very skilled person but I wish he would stop calling me quirkless. Bring called Deku is bad enough.
Midoriya: I don't have time for this Kacchan
Kacchan: I don't give a shit. Whatever you heard you better not say anything to anyone or I will kill you.
He doesn't mean it, trust me. He will beat me up, yes but kill me, no.
Midoriya: You can do what you want but be sure you're doing it for the right reasons. You could die….
I would have liked to keep playing along but I just couldn't. Bakugou rather he wants to admit it or not we're friends. My heart hurts at the thought of something happening to him. I hope this stupid war is over soon and then I won't have to worry about anyone else signing up. For our country we have a great leader leading the war, All Might. I have never stopped believing in my super hero, he still number one in my books. I can tell he is getting older and I'm afraid he is going to die out there on the field. Now I have to worry about Bakugou too.
Kacchan: Shut your mouth! Nobody over here is dying! I'm the best in my class and I will be fighting under All Might. You don't know shit Deku.
I roll my eyes knowing damn well this conversation wasn't going to go anywhere. I had to say a little something. I mean going to U.A. to be a hero is one thing but to fight a war. I sit my phone down frowning. Let me just focus on planning out my college classes now that I know what I'm going to do. Bakugou is grown and can make his own decisions.
