3. Disney and Scrabble (And the Bakusquad Stealing the Spotlight)
Tuesday, 7th December
Tuesday morning
(05:50) Have you arrived yet?
(05:53) On my way.
(05:59) She's from Shigetsu High.
(06:01) Oh.
(06:03) I've been browsing through their website and they don't have a page for their chemistry club.
(06:04) Blasphemy!
(06:05) I can sense the irony in your message and it isn't appreciated.
(06:07) Sorry.
(06:08) So… Is she in the chem club?
(06:09) She is.
(06:10) It looks like their club is quite good, actually. There are some articles about competitions in which they were involved.
(06:13) Shouldn't you be practicing, Todoroki?
(06:14) The gymnasium is closed, and it's too cold for me to do push-ups on the ground. Besides, I've already ran five laps around the grounds of Court B.
(06:17) Do you think I'm too involved?
(06:18) I don't think it's bad you're enjoying her company. Just don't let it get between you and your real life.
First period
(08:02) Fun fact: my favourite Disney movie is Hercules.
(08:07) You've seen it!
(08:07) This is rare, an exclamation mark. Are you excited by any chance?
(08:08) Well, most people overlook the greatness that Hercules is.
(08:08) I'll take that as a roundabout "yes".
(08:08) Megara?
(08:09) "I am a damsel, I am in distress, I can handle it. Have a nice day!"
(08:11) Volleyball Nerd?
(08:13) Sorry, I've been staring at my phone trying to figure out whether I am living in a parallel universe or you've actually quoted my favourite Megara line.
(08:13) I still haven't decided which one is more likely.
(08:14) Your turn.
(08:14) Tangled.
(08:15) The only Disney film from the 2000s I haven't seen and you slap it in my face.
(08:15) You haven't seen Tangled?!
(08:15) We have to fix that.
(08:16) It has one of the best male characters in Disney history.
(08:16) Are you insulting Aladdin?
(08:17) All Might is here, but I'll be back. We need to have this talk.
Second period
(09:05) ***What's the half and half bastard grinning about?! He pisses me off!***
(09:07) Why don't you ask him yourself?
(09:08)*** And get close to that happy aura of his?! I don't want to barf rainbows!***
(09:08) Isn't it good that he's happy?
(09:09) By the way Kacchan, are you planning something dangerous for the Christmas Party again?
(09:11) *** Piss off, fucker.***
(09:11) You may want to be more subtle about it, Iida is getting suspicious.
(09:12) But I do think he'd overlook some harmless pranks if you were to help us with the Christmas lights.
(09:14) ***And why would I accept?***
(09:14) Because I could talk him into letting you do the mannequin challenge if you helped us sneak the lights in.
(09:17) ***... I'll consider it.***
(09:18)*** Anyway, tell the half and half bastard to stop. The dipshit's giving me shivers.***
/
(09:02) Okay, I'm back.
(09:03) No offense to Aladdin, but the Genie remains the best character in that movie.
(09:04) It's Robin Williams. What do you expect?
(09:06) Still, Flynn Rider beats that.
(09:06) It's unfair of you to make claims I cannot judge.
(09:07) Then go see it.
(09:07) This is making me want to rewatch Tangled so badly. So many memorable moments.
(09:10) It's a retelling of the Rapunzel story, right?
(09:13) Volleyball Nerd?
(09:14) Sorry, a guy in my class just threw his pencil case at me and yelled, and I quote, "Your smile is creeping me out and it makes me want to puke rainbows, you dipshit! Go drool over your phone somewhere where you won't make my stomach turn!"
(09:14) But imagine that all in caps because he was screaming.
(09:14) Ouch.
(09:15) Does he always scream at you or was today a special occasion?
(09:16) I think he only has two settings: raging as if all hell broke loose or shutting up but shooting arrows with his look.
(09:16) That sounds a bit over the top.
(09:17) But about what he said… Do you not, by any chance, smile that often?
(09:18) I've just asked Midoriya and he said my face is deadpan 92% of the time, and that he doubted whether I was biologically able to smile wider than 1.2 cm until today.
(09:18) Those are oddly specific number.
(09:18) Midoriya's good with numbers.
(09:18) But. Tangled.
(09:19) To answer your question: yes, Tangled is basically Rapunzel's story, but with frying pans.
(09:20) Excuse me?
(09:21) I don't want to spoil you. You'll have to see for yourself.
(09:21) Are you trying to trick me into watching Tangled?
(09:23) Perhaps.
Third period
(10:05) I'm afraid I've been thinking.
(10:05) A dangerous pastime.
(10:06) I know.
(10:07) Were you testing me?
(10:07) Yes, but don't worry, you passed with flying colours.
(10:08) Beauty and the Beast references are applicable in day to day life. I had to remember them.
(10:09) Please tell me you haven't told Midoriya he can get his crush "the usual: flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep."
(10:10) How did you know?
(10:10) The poor guy…
(10:11) Why are you pitying him?
(10:12) He sounds like an innocent soul that would believe you.
(10:12) He actually hit me with the ball for that.
(10:13) Tell Midoriya I'm cheering for him.
(10:15) I reluctantly did as you asked (although I feel betrayed) and he says you've atoned for the sins you committed yesterday.
(10:16) I interrupted you though. What were you thinking about?
(10:17) Right.
(10:17) I don't have club tomorrow, so I'll try watching Tangled.
(10:18) This may be the best news since I found out that Mirio won't give me any extra laps today.
(10:19) Share your thoughts with me?
(10:21) You've got it.
/
(10:16) She watches Disney movies.
(10:19) Huh. Just your luck.
Lunch break
(12:59) does your googling animated movies have anything to do with wng?
(13:02) I simply haven't watched one in a long time, and thought it might be a nice change of pace.
(13:03) uhuh, sure, and the fact that you're blushing is totally irrelevant
(13:03) i wasn't born yesterday, yaomomo
(13:04) His favourite movie is Tangled and I haven't watched it yet. I think understanding what he likes might help me understand more about him.
(13:05) you're adorable
(13:07) Don't you mean naive?
(13:11) nah, i think you're good. i don't think he's a serial killer
(13:13) Aren't you awfully trustful…
(13:17) heh
/
(13:05) hello, wng. this is kyouka, the one who used to have your phone number before
(13:06) This is… sudden.
(13:07) no need to be so wary. i thought you should have my (current) phone number, just in case
(13:08) Is she alright?
(13:09) she's fine and she doesn't know i'm texting you
(13:10) Is this going to be the "if you hurt my friend I'll kill you" talk?
(13:10) Because I have no intention of doing anything bad to her, so you don't need to tire yourself with it.
(13:11) certainly a relief to know that i won't have to spell that out for you
(13:13) but this is more the "i'm here if she doesn't respond and you freak out" talk
(13:14) Why wouldn't she respond? I had the impression we were get along fine?
(13:15) you are (and you're doing so much better than expected) but she freaked out yesterday, remember?
(13:15) she freaks out easily, and it's mostly because she doesn't trust herself, so…
(13:16) so i thought you may want to know what's going on if that happens again
(13:17) That's… incredibly thoughtful.
(13:19) Why are you doing this?
(13:21) listen, she's not your average girl. she's insanely smart and beautiful (no i am not giving you a picture, not until she does so, anyway) and she doesn't have the best of luck with men
(13:23) you genuinely make her smile. seriously, she's been grinning like an idiot since she has started texting you. it's a bit disturbing and highly gratifying at the same time
(13:24) i just want her to be happy
(13:25) You guys really are good friends.
(13:25) i do what i can
(13:27) I want her to be happy too. It may be weird of me to say this because I've literally never met her, but my teammate just told me this morning that I'm freaking him out with my recent smiling so I guess I'm the same.
(13:28) I've already told her this, but I really like talking to her.
(13:29) glad we got this sorted out
(13:30) also, i'll be happy to give you blackmail material on her shall need arise
(13:32) I'm taking what I said about your friendship back. Women are scary.
(13:33) so my point has come across. brilliant!
(13:34) good luck, mystery boy
(13:36) Thank you.
(13:38) Did we have this conversation?
(13:40) sharp boy
(13:41) never happened unless it's an emergency, in which case, we shall contact each other again
(13:43) Duly noted.
/
(13:30) Midoriya, have you told Iida anything?
(13:34) I promised I wouldn't, didn't I?
(13:36) Okay.
(13:45) Can I ask why?
(13:47) I wanted to tell him myself.
(13:47) It's serious, isn't it?
(13:48) I don't half-ass things, Midoriya.
(13:48) You know what I meant.
(13:50) I don't intend to stop talking to her. Not anytime time soon and not unless I have a good reason, anyway.
(13:51) So Iida has every right to know. He is my friend, after all.
(13:53) Why so suddenly?
(13:54) Sudden is the last thing this is.
(13:54) Let me rephrase that.
(13:57) Has your brainstorming proved effective? Because Uraraka looks very worried about your mumbling.
(13:59) What was the trigger?
(14:03) Her best friend texted me (it used to be her number) and she mentioned something about her being happy while talking to me. Coupled with what Bakugou said, I realised that she's becoming part of my real life.
(14:04) Never knew you could be so romantic, Todoroki.
(14:06) It's not that. I just like talking to her.
(14:06) You know I trust you. If you trust her, I'll try to, as well.
(14:07) She was rooting for you and Uraraka.
(14:09) It's not like that!
(14:09) You're blushing.
(14:13) Look, I'm not saying she's a serial killer. But I will feel better if I had her number, too.
(14:15) I see you glaring at your phone and it isn't going to melt if you keep at it.
(14:17) I promise not to message her unless it's an emergency.
(14:21) … Fine.
(14:21) Should I feel flattered that it only took you 8 minutes to accept?
(14:22) Your angelic face is a lie.
Sixth period
(15:02) Hey.
(15:03) Iida, there's something I need to talk to you about.
(15:07) I'm all ears.
(15:07) Or eyes, in this particular (and peculiar) case.
(15:10) You have noticed me on my phone yesterday, talking to Midoriya. The short version is that I have met someone through a wrong number accident and we're getting along pretty well.
(15:11) I thought you should know because I don't want to hide things from you. And I won't stop talking to her either, so.
(15:12) I'm ready to give you the long version, if you want.
(15:14) I'm glad you trusted me with this. If you're okay with Uraraka-kun finding out as well, you can share it with us.
(15:15) She's part of the group, so yeah, she should know, too.
(15:15) Thanks for understanding.
(15:16) We're always here for you, Todoroki. Never forget that.
/
(15:22) i dunno what your friend has done to todoroki but hes having a meeting with his whole group
(15:24) they look so serious like theyre planning a coup or something
(15:26) coup d'etat is the term you're looking for
(15:27) and i've talked to him today. he's a decent guy, from what i could gather
(15:28) he is. pretty silent most of the time but he talks when it counts
(15:29) maybe we won't need to butt in as much as i thought
(15:30) aw there goes my fun
(15:31) can i still tease him tho?
(15:32) sure, be my guest
Sixth Period

ElectroBolt: how did you get here? did someone leave the cage open?
Cellophane: Wipe your mouth, there's still a tiny bit of bullshit around your lips.
Explodo McExplode: Are you always this stupid or is today a special occasion?
Red Riot: And here he is, the king of insults!
Explodo McExplode: What are you fuckers doing?! We're in the middle of class with Mic.

ElectroBolt: were going until the last one stands, soldiers!
Explodo McExplode: Is your ass jealous of the amount of shit that comes out of your mouth?
Red Riot: And thus Bakugou joins the fray! Let the real games begin.
Explodo McExplode: I don't engage in mental combat with the unarmed.
Cellophane: Support bacteria- they're the only culture some people have.
ElectroBolt: dude, are you googling this?
Red Riot: I'm jealous of people who haven't met you.
ElectroBolt: you look like your face caught on fire and someone tried to put it out with a hammer.
Explodo McExplode: Out of 100,000 sperm, you were the fastest?!
Cellophane: That's all you can do?
Cellophane: If you really want to know about mistakes, you should ask your parents.
Explodo McExplode: I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and crap out a smarter comeback than what you've just said, fucker.
Red Riot: crap
ElrectroBolt: i shall avenge the fall of our brother! Kirishima, i won't let your death be in vain!

Cellophane: If you are going to be two faced, at least make one of them pretty.
Explodo McExplode: You're so ugly you scare the shit back into people.

ElectroBolt: its been a pleasure, gentlemen
Cellophane: And now Kaminari's out. Looks like it's just the two of us, Bakugou.
Explodo McExplode: How many times do I need to flush to get rid of you?!
Cellophane: Do you still love nature, despite what it did to you?
Explodo McExplode: I'd slap you, but shit stains.
Cellophane: The last time I saw someone with a face like yours, I fed it a banana.
Explodo McExplode: So you've changed your mind, does this one work any better?
Explodo McExplode: You are proof that God has a sense of humor.
Explodo McExplode: Hah, is this all you can do before you get caught, dipshits?!
Explodo McExplode: FUCK!
Tuesday evening

(20:30) sorry
(20:31) detention

/
The Bakusquad
Explodo McExplode: CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DIPSHITS GOT ME INTO DETENTION!
Red Riot: Dude, you got yourself into detention.
Cellophane: This is where making fun of your friends gets you
Explodo McExplode: Whatever.
ElectroBolt: are you sulking now? because i think you totally are!
Explodo McExplode: I am NOT, shit for brains!
Explodo McExplode: Anyway.
Explodo McExplode: Useless Deku might be useful for once.
Cellophane: Are you finally admitting that you don't actually hate him? Because it's high time you did
Explodo McExplode: Go fuck yourself.
ElectroBolt: you gonna tell us what he did or not?
Explodo McExplode: He said he could talk freaky hands into letting us do the mannequin challenge and some other "harmless pranks" as long as we can provide lights for round face.
Red Riot: The Christmas lights Tsuyu was talking about?
ElectroBolt: i can get those
Cellophane: Really?
ElectroBolt: yeah. i can work in dad's garage and fix us some Christmas lights: Tokyo style
Explodo McExplode: Who would have guessed, you are more than just blonde hair!
Cellophane: So we can proceed with the Christmas Party Plan (or as I like to call it, the CPP)?
Explodo McExplode: Yes. (Also, the CPP is a fucking stupid name. We need something more badass.)
/
(21:20) ***You've got yourself a deal, shit for brains.***
(21:25) You'll actually do it?! Thanks, Kacchan.
(21:26) ***Whatever. Just get us the DJ and the dance floor spot for an hour.***
(21:29) I'll see what I can do.
/
(21:02) I have been banned from scrabble night.
(21:03) You have scrabble nights?
(21:04) We have game nights at least once a week, and tonight, Ashido though scrabble would be a fun way to both bond and expand our English vocabulary.
(21:04) And then she kicked me out of the game saying I was cheating!
(21:05) Did you use a dictionary?
(21:05) No! But in her words, "we are not allowed to play with dictionaries and you basically are one, so you're out!"
(21:06) Maybe you should take it as a compliment.
(21:09) For my own curiosity, what was the word you wanted to form?
(21:10) There was RAT on the table and I had all the letters to make BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC!
(21:11) Rather than "nerd", I believe you fit the description of "dork" quite well. Much better than I do, anyway.
(21:11) I thought you weren't fond of labels.
(22:12) I am not. I am merely referring to the definition of "dork" you quoted yesterday, stating that you are passionate enough about what you do (scrabble, in this instance) to you start using '!', which is a rare occurrence in our messaging history.
(21:13) You're saying I'm a scrabble dork?
(21:14) I'm merely saying that you get 100% into what you do and I think that's what the word "dork" should describe.
(21:15) I think I'll take this as a compliment.
(21:19) Ahh I want to play! Kyouka has the letters to make CALL into QUIZZICALLY and she doesn't seize the chance!
(21:21) My point exactly.
(21:22) I just like Scrabble.
(21:22) I have a faint feeling you like all the games where you can use your brains.
(21:22) But they're fascinating!
(21:25) Ashido could make GEN into OXYGENIZING!
(21:26) How do you even see them?
(21:27) My parents are busy people. As a child, I've resorted to the other thing that could entertain me in my house: books. Japanese, English or French, I read whatever fell in my hands.
(21:28) My favourites were encyclopedias, though.
(21:28) That's impressive. You can speak French?
(21:29) My parents thought it'd offer professional advantages, so they encouraged me too.
(21:31) That's quite something.
(21:31) Maybe, but at times, it felt really lonely.
(21:32) I think I can understand that.
(21:32) Don't you have siblings?
(21:33) I do, but I didn't really… spend time with them as a child.
(21:35) It's a long story.
(21:36) I guess that got depressive quickly. Sorry.
(21:37) You apologised.
(21:37) Ah, okay.
(21:37) What do you want to know?
(21:38) What's your favourite Disney song?
(21:38) Well that was a sudden change of topic. Back to Disney, aren't we?
(21:38) We must live up to our reputation as dorks.
(21:39) I think this is the only social label I'll accept and with the aforementioned tweaks to its definition.
(21:39) I think like that notion, too.
(21:41) But to answer your question… Ah, this is rather difficult. I'll Make a Man out of You and I Can Go the Distance are both amazing songs, and Disney even has funny songs like Friend Like Me…
(21:41) But I think I'll have to go with Part of Your World.
(21:42) You have good taste.
(21:42) What's yours?
(21:42) I'm Still Here. I've just listened to it too many times to have any doubts about it.
(21:43) Wonderful choice. You really *are* a Disney fan!
(21:43) I can't believe you were doubting me.
(21:44) This is totally random, But Ashido threatened to steal my phone unless I thank you (on her behalf) for keeping me busy because apparently, I was mumbling possible scrabble-words under my breath.
(21:45) Tell her I'm the one who's thanking her for banning you from the game so I could talk to you.
(21:48) WNG?
(21:50) She has applauded you for being "so smooth".
(21:50) Also, she was loud enough to get our homeroom teacher to send us back to our rooms so Scrabble night is over.
(21:51) Is this my subtle cue to leave you be?
(21:51) Not necessarily. I just thought you may want to get some sleep.
(21:52) Thank you. Good night, your Dorkiness.
(21:52) Good night, Volleyball (and Disney) Dork.
/
(21:46) you're cute, giggling at your phone like that
(21:46) did mystery boy strike again?
(21:50) I think I may be too curious for my own good.
(21:52) isn't now a little late for that? i mean, you *have* been listening to "i'm still here" ever since we got back in the room and if you tell me he's got nothing to do with it, i'm calling bullshit
(21:30) He doesn't seem dangerous though…
(21:32) Is it bad that I enjoy talking to him?
(21:31) it isn't
(21:32) But I barely know him.
(21:34) never having seen his face doesn't mean you don't know him. you know a bunch of personal stuff about him! you know about his cat, and about his disney movie obsession, and that he's a volleyball god or something!
(21:38) I guess…
(21:39) Thanks, Kyouka.
(21:43) anytime
/
(21:52) i think this is going well
(21:53) bakugou texted us after club and said "todorokis gross but whatever happened motivated him today at practice so im not gonna complain about the shithead"
(21:55) i really hope this works out
(21:57) me too! then we can go on double dates!
(21:59) remind me why i'm dating you
(22:02) because you love my charm?
(22:03) you are so so lucky to have me
(22:04) i am
(22:09) jirou? you there?
(22:13) jirouuuuuu
(22:17) oh shut up!
(22:19) hehe
Hello again!
Sorry for the delay guys, but chapter 3 is finally here, and you have hopefully enjoyed it (and all the Disney references because I am a total Disney fan, in case you couldn't tell).
Anyway, the Bakusquad has been really fun to write! The insult contest idea is something I borrowed from another GREAT wrong number au fic called It's Not a Big Deal, and as soon as I saw it I thought of Bakugou and the others. I changed all the insults and the mechanism of the game though, but the idea remained, so I'll give credit where credit is due.
Also, I am overwhelmed by the positive reception of this fic! It started out as a crack fic but now I'm supper attached to it! If you'll believe it, it even got fanart ahsjklkasiwndw!
As always, thank you guys for everything and till next time!
