Once all the teens reached the huge field of grass by there school, they all began to stretch, except for izuku who was crouched down into a little ball, and bakugo who stood beside him.

"Okay Kacchan!" Uraraka hopped up from her stretching and faced both boys. "The rules of dodge-ball are simple! We split up into equal teams first. Then with the three balls we have, we're suppose to hit people on the apposing team until all of them are out! The only rules are you can't pass that line in the center of the field and if you're hit, you're out, okay?"

"Seems pretty easy to understand. I just gotta hit the opposite people on my team and win." Bakugo said with an evil grin on his face. Uraraka giggled at it, but mineta and tenya felt shivers run down there spine. It was clear they were going to try and sit the first game out.

"That's exactly why I don't want to playyy." Izuku whined. Bakugo crouched down and held his friends head up.

"Why's that?"

"The last time we played this game, there was a tiny incident regarding izuku's strength." Uraraka says.

"More than a tiny issue…" izuku says. He stands up and grabs one of the balls that was lying in the middle of the field. Without much thought, izuku throws the ball towards the nearest wall. Most people's throws would've just hit it and bounced right off, but instead izuku's throw caused the ball to travel threw the air at an incredible speed. When the ball hit the wall, it made a dent in the wall twice the size of someone's head. Izuku turned back to his friends and sulked. "I'm too strong for this game!"

"You exaggerated! You didn't throw it that hard last time!" Tsuyu points out.

"It's true!" sero says and walks over to bakugo. "The last time we played, threw the ball directly towards me; he hit his target all right!" Sero said laughing as he held up his arm. On it was a bruise that had clearly healed, but it was obvious to bakugo when it was first made, it was black and blue all over.

"Sorry Sero" izuku said as he sunk back into a ball. Sero walked over and patted his friends back.

"You're too apologetic izuku! That's like the eightieth one! It's already bud, I know it was an accident." Sero ensured his friend to the best of his ability.

"All you gotta do, is try your best to throw a liiittle softer, you can do it." Uraraka said and ruffled izuku's hair softly. He looked at her with wide worried eyes before he went to walk back to bakugo.

After a couple of minutes, everyone was paired into their teams. Everyone was pretty satisfied with their partners, especially bakugo seeing he was still with nervous izuku.

After fighting with Mineta for some time, Tenya was chosen to be the referee. He held all three balls in his hands and waited for everyone to become comfortable with their teammates.

"Okay! Is everyone ready?" he yelled nice and loud.

"Yes!" Everoyne yelled together back, except for izuku.

"No!" was heard amongst them but tenya ignored it.

"Start!" tenya said and he threw all three balls onto the field.

Immediately, everyone went to try and grab one. Bakugo succeeded and once he grabbed it he threw it at the nearest person. Without fail the ball hit kaminari and he groaned at the fact that he was out so fast.

"Nice kacchan!" uraraka yelled. "You're getting the hang of this quickly!"

Bakugo felt good that he was doing well. This game was actually really exciting for him and he enjoyed playing it with people like them. A good five minutes had gone by before bakugo had realized there was someone who wasn't having as much fun as everyone else.

Bakugo turned around frantically looking for izuku, and when he found him he couldn't help but feel bad. Izuku was in the corner of the field trying his best to avoid balls while looking at his hands. He was probably thinking about how he could possibly play without hurting anyone, but when he put his hands down and sulked, bakugo knew that meant he was giving up.

"Tch!" bakugo gritted his teeth as he walked over to izuku.

"Heads up!" someone called out to bakugo because a ball was coming directly for him, but wihout looking he caught it with one hand and quickly threw it back at whoever tossed it in the first place. His whole team went crazy at the sight but bakugo had one thing on his mind right now.

He didn't want izuku to feel so different anymore. He didn't want him to pretend to be normal, because like he said before, he was pretty great the way he was. He wanted the other boy to be able to have fun with his friends like he was. It wasn't completely fun, if izuku wasn't with him playing. Again, the strange emotion he was trying to push down emerged again, but he did his best to push it down again as he reached izuku.

"K-Kacchan?" izuku looked at the other male with wide eyes.

"Turn around." Bakugo demanded without explanation. Izuku didn't know why bakugo asked him to do this, but he obeyed and did what he was asked.

When izuku had his back to him, bakugo went to grab one of the free balls that had landed on his side. He quickly returned to izuku and placed the ball in izuku's right hand.

"Kacchan, I don't think I can…" izuku lost his words when he felt bakugo pressed his body to izuku's back and hold the back of his hand with his own. He didn't know what was going on, but he didn't complain.

"Look." Bakugo said and izuku looked at the hand that contained the ball and that bakugo was holding. He felt bakugo move his hand around a bit before making it move quick enough to throw a ball. Izuku realized that bakugo was trying to show him how to do play without using all his strength.

Bakugo practiced the move a couple more times before releasing izuku. Izuku looked at him with concern. "Now you try, you can do it. Just do it the exact way I taught you." Bakugo whispered in izuku's ear and he stepped back.

Izuku's heart began to race. Not only because of how close bakugo was, but also because of the fact that he was going to have to try playing. He took a deep breath and moved up a little. No really aiming at anyone just in case this failed, izuku closed his eyes and threw the ball the exact way bakugo taught him. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to see no craters in the wall, no one was hurt, and all his friends were watching him with excited eyes. He did it.

"Yeah! That's the way to do it izuku! Here, hit me!" Sero called out and he rolled one ball over to izuku.

"O-Okay!" Immediately izuku picked up the ball and prayed that he wouldn't regret this. He threw the ball once again, the way bakugo taught him and it hit sero right in the gut.

The boy fell to the ground and izuku felt like he was about to have a heart attack. However, within seconds everyone watched the boy bounce back up and throw his fist in the air. "Ha! He got me, and it didn't hurt!"

Izuku was so overwhelmed that he started to bounce with excitement and joy. He turned to bakugo who was smirking at him. Without a second to spare, izuku went to grab another ball and threw it the exact same way again. This one hit kaminari the minute he got back into the game.

"Oh come on!" he yelled but turned to izuku and gave him a thumbs up. "But nice one izuku!"

That was it, izuku was fully immersed in the game. When bakugo seen this he joined in once again and started to dominate the field along side izuku. Everyone was having so much fun and they were literally the center of it all.

Soon the game was coming to an end and both teams did there best to try and win. Bakugo hadn't got hit the entire game, but from the corner of his eye, he saw todoroki with two balls in his hand and one was aiming right for izuku. Izuku however, didn't notice so bakugo knew what he had to do.

As izuku threw on ball towards ashido, he failed to notice the ball that todoroki threw to him. When he turned his face, he seen it coming but it was too late to move. He braced for impact and closed his eyes. All of a sudden he heard the ball smack against something, but he didn't feel anything on his body or face. When he opened his eyes, he saw bakugo's hand in front of his face, blocking todoroki's shot.

"Kacchan! You are out!" tenya yelled form the sidelines. All of his team groaned in disappointment but bakugo just chucked. He was glad he even got to play.

"Thanks kacchan!" izuku smiled warmly to him.

Bakugo rubbed his hands together and smirked back. "No problem, do me a favor and win okay?"

Izuku blushed and his eyes became droopy looking at bakugo. "Okayy"

"Ooooo!" Both boys heard everyone start to coo again, but it was cut off the minute a ball came flying out of no where and striking bakugo in the back of his head. Bakugo fell face first into the ground and izuku panicked and he bent down to check on his friend.

Everyone gasped and turned to todoroki who no longer had a ball in his hand. His eyes widened when he realized everyone knew it was him. He quickly put both his hands behind his back and looked towards the ground. Uraraka, kaminari, sero, and kirishima started to giggle.

A few hours later, everyone departed ways and said their farewells. Before leaving, they all played a couple more rounds of dodge-ball and talked about how they couldn't wait to play again. This time this was something izuku was looking forward to.

Now, izuku and bakugo walked threw back threw the forest by themselves. They listened to the sweet sounds of the birds chirping and the sounds of leaves rustling. Only when they reached there private area did bakugo say something.

"So did you have fun today?" he asked without looking at the other male.

"Yes! So much fun! I never thought I'd be able to play that game with them! Like, I knew they only forced me because they wanted me to face my fears, but I was always to scared to try. You really saved me today kacchan!" izuku cooed.

"It's no big deal. And they aren't around anymore, do you just enjoy calling me kacchan?" bakugo smirked and wrapped his arm around izuku's shoulder.

"I actually do, the nickname fits you." Izuku said looking away. "Listen kacchan, thank you…for today. It really means a lot what you did for me. I don't feel so different anymore, you know."

Bakugo's heart warmed up at the sound of this. "No problem izuku, I'd do-"

Bakugo was cut off when he felt a pair of soft lips come in contact with his cheek. He froze in place let the kiss sink in for a moment. He looked down at izuku with wide eyes and saw that the other boys were just as wide and his face was red.

"We…well see you later kacchan!" izuku said and quickly ran off before his crush coud say anything else.

Bakugo watched izuku run away until he was out of sight. His heart began to pound and his mystery emotion once again popped up. He knew he was beginning to want izuku more than just a friend. He wanted him to be his, forever.

"I'd do anything for you." Bakugo whispered the end of his own sentence before heading home himself.
