Hey guys~ Sorry I wanted to make this a bit longer, but I feel the short quality fits it well. I also think I need to give myself a bit of a break? In terms of, not forcing myself to draw things out, especially since it's a one-shot collection.

Hopefully you all agree ;v; and like this silly little update! I just had the strong poignant idea of Deku making that face he does with the fish, and Bakugo not knowing how the fuck to process he has a whole squad dedicated to him, how do you think about it? Tell me what you think in the reviews or head on over to my blog starlitbun!

Thanks for clicking and enjoy!

Midoriya had said "I'm sorry what?" a total of about five times now and counting in varying levels of the same soft confused tone that was spoken in a way he knew exactly what he had heard but the deniability was strong. Bakugo looked as if he was torn terribly between confusion and anger, and it was uncharacteristically shown own his face with his open expression, narrowed eyes, and gaping mouth.

Their classmates sat in varied reactions of the whole thing, the common area, the source of the end of it all.

Midoriya was just on his sixth repeat when Bakugo turned and said, "Deku I swear to god, repeat yourself one more time." There were a few noises of upset but then he was turning his red steely gaze upon them.

"Now what the actual fuck is a..." he seemed to almost struggling to say the words as if it physically pained him to acknowledge it, "..- a "bakusquad" and I swear to fuck, you guys better have an explanation."

"...-You swear to fuck?"

"Yes." He replied in clipped tones, "Because if I swear to God. There will be no hope for any of you"

"...Understood"

Midoriya had finally stopped repeating himself, but it was also clear that he was no longer really present for the conversation, eyes struck dead, a wobbly smile on his face, a mood reminiscent to his time before U-A when he was eating dinner with his mother, and he held his fish in his chopsticks as if it were able to come back to life and grant him the answers he so sorely wished for.

At the center of it all, the two who had been standing and been the central pieces in the conversation were now seated on the couches, a bashful look gracing their features. Uraraka seemed not quite embarrassed but, flustered, rubbing the back of her neck with one hand, and waving the other hand frantically. While Kirishima sorta held both hands up in peace, a slight blush alight his cheeks.

"Ahahaa, well ya see, it's really nothing.. Just uh we got in a disagreement of sorts" Uraraka explained, Kirishima continued, "Yeah, it's uh, nothing too life or death just a heated debate over our uh...respective" his voice got continuously soft and own the next wording more so, "-squads.." he uttered, clearing his throat, as he could just feel the vein pop in Bakugo's head.

Midoriya opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally, a high pitched squeaky keen escaped before he promptly snapped his mouth shut for a final time. Legs giving way as he crouched, and several concerned voices rang out as he covered his head in embarrassment, not needing to look to know his face was red down to his neck.

The action itself drew people back into a loud talk, them all yelling over each other, someone was laughing in the background, uproariously and loudly. Midoriya heard none of it, focusing or rather trying to make sense of it.

He stood back up abruptly, almost bumping into Uraraka who worried had come closer.

Midoriya took a breath and stared at her, and she began to sweat, his mouth opened a few times in imitation of the sentence he tried to start, finally getting out, "Do I- Do, I want to know what a -a "dekusquad" is and why it's uh.." better than bakusquad could ever hope to be?"

Uraraka seemed to blanch, a smile still etched on her face, and they laughter had grown, someone was still laughing. Bakugo was now yelling, both he and Midoriya having walked in on at the exact moment the line had been uttered, and like a movie, everyone had paused as the words registered to the two.

Bakugo finally deciding he had enough, still confused, uttered aloud, "THIS IS BULLSHIT" and stormed past, friends following behind him like a tag a log group, in what Midoriya could only assume was the question "Bakusquad"

Almost in a daze, he didn't notice Hagure until she was grabbing on his arm, laughter still in her voice, "Your squad silly! Haven't you guys noticed you have your own groups"

Confused beyond utter belief, he stared at what he thought was her face and questioned the reality he currently presided in. Jiro lounging on the couch, who seemed to be finding humor in it as well, added, "Yeah, lucky you huh~"

Midoriya's eyes swung to Todoroki who sat closer to the kitchens than common area, shrugged but didn't dispute the claims.

"Aren't we all- aren't we all...friends? W-what's the need in these uh...groupings?" he asked hesitantly, Hagure awed, and Uraraka waved her hands wildly again, face flushed. "Sure we are Deku!" She began to rush her words, pouring out in an overflow. "But! We uh, we tend to hang out as like our own group, right? And uh-well ya know, me and Kirishima kinda got into a compliment off about our respective friend groups, and from there, we uh, kinda got competitive? Sorry?" she said, but then straightened and said, "Well, I mean, I'm not sorry? Because honestly, dekusquad kicks bakusquads butt any day!" she said resolutely.

Midoriya let out another squeak, moaning out pitifully, "Why do you have to use my name for the squad? What does that even mean?"

Someone was still busting a gut somewhere in the background.

Someone else was now patting his head, the voice familiar, "Don't think about it too much, it just means you're popular~"

Midoriya just made another pitiful noise and hoped the world would swallow him whole... "Who's even apart of the dekusquad? What does that even mean?" he whined, certain that whatever the answer was he didn't want to hear.

Still, Todoroki answered helpfully, "Well I'm certainly not a part of the bakusquad..."

There was a squawk of laughter, and Midoriya found himself laughing along...well, out of all things, it could be worse...
