Chapter 10: Why can't Izuku catch a Break? Because he runs slow, Stupid!

Author's Note: Sorry for the wait. This story got tiresome after that last chapter. Details at the end of the chapter.


Izuku was, in short, having a very bad day. Not only did he have to chase down the (very minor) "villain" Break, who obviously didn't know how villain names worked (or names in the hero/villain world worked all together) because his quirk (Swift- the ability to run really fast, so, pretty generic) had nothing to do with breaking stuff, he also had to convince his group, (which consisted of Eijiro, Tenya, and Kacchan, so. . .) to hurry up and decide on a group ideal for the school project, because it was due soon and they had to get it done.

Tenya was on board- Due so soon? We must hurry! *salutes* - Kirishima took some convincing- Well, if you insist it's the manly thing to do. . . *while playing with his "action figures"* - Kacchan however- FUCK OFF DEKU! I'm TRYIN' to watch somethin' *Sailor Moon* - would need some more time.

Izuku sighed. That was when he saw something. It was. . . Break! Hey, maybe today wasn't so bad after all! "Hey! Stop right there, Break!" He said getting into a fighting stance with a grin on his face -like All Might taught him-. The villain looked at him, and gave a much more intimidating smile. That was when it dawned on him, somehow, no matter how stupid this villain was, he was out of his league. Before he even knew what had happened- he found himself thrown into the concrete.

"Wow, brave face, even if it is all bruised up. Why're you still smiling? You planing something? You're not gonna get away with that. . ." Izuku didn't say anything. He hadn't even realized that he was still smiling. . . The quirk lived up to it's name, this guy was fast. He felt a pain in his chest, oh, the guy punched him. He was still too dizy from being smacked into the road to register anything else.

"Hey asshole! Leave that idiot alone, unless yer to much of a pussy for a real fight!" 'Kacchan?. . .' Yeah, that was the name. He- she came to save him? Ugh, he was tired. A quick nap would help. . .

Katsuki's POV:

She didn't know why she got so mad when she saw it. Really, she shouldn't of cared. But, for one reason or another, she got PISSED THE HELL OFF when she saw that guy throw Deku into the ground. . . and then she drew his attention -like an idiot- and they started to fight. 'Note to self: make sure you're SURE of what someone's quirk is BEFORE you fight them.' Break? Really? What did that have to do with running really fucking fast?

Luckily, they're little squabble was noticed by that Mt. Lady chick who kicked him to the curb, literally. After that, -again with all my stupid ideas- I ran over to Deku.

"Hey Deku! Wake up ya little shit, I hate calling 9-1-1-, so you better not need an ambulance!" Technically it was true. Stupid operator bitch and her stupid bored voice-!

He stirred a little. Then he opened his eyes. I let out the breath I was holding. I knew I was holding it (really who doesn't know when they're holding their goddamn breath?!) but I didn't know why! I wanted to go home! Stupid pity. . . Yeah that was it, pity. Totally pity. No other reason for me being here. . . I wince at the part of my brain that whispers 'liar'.

"K-Kacchan? So. . . did you win?" He was awake to hear me be a fucking moron huh?

"Nah, didn't get the chance. That new hero Mt. Lady came in and kicked him thirty blocks. How're ya feelin'?"

"Okay. . . Can you help me up? I got the wind knocked out of me. . ." He gave me a stupid fucking smile. 'Goddamn that's cute. . .'

"Sure."

Once Deku was back on his feet we just kinda, walked over to Kirishima's place. (Our new base since the "toaster incident".) I kept thinking back to that time in the alley. I would've gotten away easy if that fucker behind Creepy Guy #1 didn't have that water quirk. I thought I'd never be seen or heard from again. . . Then Deku of all people helped me out. I guess we're even then? I'll try not to think about that.

UGH, the fight's long over! Why is my heart going so fast? It's been like this every time I see Deku! It's been like this ever since he figured out I'm a girl!


Author's Note: In service to all of you, I will complete this story within to chapters. However, the details as to why I got bored of this story are here, so please bear with me. Majorly, too much time has passed. I've been working on this story forever now, and I'm SICK OF IT. Secondly, I never really shipped KatsuDeku, (or Exploding Stick as I have dubbed it) though they are a cute couple. I recently discovered my new favorite ship: KiriBaku (Spiky TNT) and I have a plethora of other stories I'd like to work on in so many other fandoms. I'll give this one a complete ending for you guys, because you seem to really like it and I'm extremely happy about that. With love- Kyouko L. Kirkland
