Chapter 24: The First Contest-Costumes!-!-!
And then, the day of the festival...
First up was the costume contest. I was so nervous behind the stage, gulping, sweating, and shaking.
"Calm down, Deku, Jesus," Kacchan hissed at me, "Your anxiety hormones are going all over the place."
"I-I-I'm s-s-so-sorry-Ka-Ka-Kacchan-..."
"You look fine, dipsh*t," kacchan snorted.
"R-Ri-Right-"
I want to do my best for Kacchan... If I get eliminated in the first contest... all my hard work-!-!-!
I have to prove to Kacchan...
I took a deep breath in, and breathed out through my nose.
I can do this... I can do this...
"Bakugou, your slaves are up," the person looked up from his clipboard.
"That's us," Todoroki-kun murmured.
"Sh*t the f*ck up, b*tch," Kacchan spat, walking forward with us. I obediently followed, my eyes having to adjust to the sunshine. I gaped when I saw millions of people cheering in the stands. Kacchan had to tug my collar to remind me to walk. I gulped and resumed following.
"Bakugou Katsuki, with his slaves, Midoriya Izuku and Todoroki Shoto!-!-!-!-!" the announcer announced through the speakers, and my vision started to get dark at the edges. I felt my face heat up. The judges were analyzing us, nodding, and scribbling down stuff.
The costume contest is a joint effort. They judge us on all our costumes together, under one Master. This contest is a preliminary round for all competitions. If you don't pass this, you won't be in any of the competitions. They normally don't do this, but this year's Festival is special..
The judges conversed lowly, and I started glancing between them and Kacchan frantically. The main judge nodded to the announcer.
"Hoo-kay!-! That was Bakugou Katsuki! Who's ready for the next batch?!-!" The crowd cheered. I gulped. Kacchan tugged us back off the stage, and I followed.
When we got off the stage and out of view, I exploded into worry and anxiety.
"Were we okay?!-! What does that conversing, the nod, everything, mean?!-! Wh-pffb-pfflb-pfflp-" Kacchan had impaired my speaking by grabbing my lips.
"Sh*t the f*ck up," he hissed, "I'm sure we did just fine. We'll find out in a few minutes since we were towards the end." I took a deep breath when he released my lips, and we resumed walking. I tried not to flip out, but it was hard when I had no idea what was going on-
"Holy f*ck, what the f*ck is that?!-!" Kacchan growled after a while.
"Sorry," Todoroki-kun replied emotionlessly. He seemed rather irritated himself. "Our classmates are texting back and forth, I guess..."
"My classmates, b*tch. You're not in that class anymore, remember?" Kacchan's eyes flared, "Turn it off."
"It's on vibrate..."
"Give me your phone," Kacchan held out his hand impatiently.
"?" Todoroki-kun gave him a weird look, and I covered my mouth and looked away.
Todoroki-kun, not today... Please, just be obedient...
"Give me your phone, b*tch," Kacchan growled darker, emitting hormones.
He wasn't dealing with Todoroki-kun's sh*t today...
Todoroki-kun immediately whimpered and ducked his head as my vision got black around the edges again, for a different reason than before. (But, I'm sure my anxiety isn't helping any...)
"Give," Kacchan commanded, and Todoroki-kun handed Kacchan the phone without lifting his head. Kacchan turned the phone completely off and gave it back to Todoroki-kun.
I took a deep breath of fresh air when Kacchan stopped emitting hormones.
"Don't turn it back on until the Festival's over, got it?"
"..."
"Got it?!-!" Kacchan growled. A few hormones emitted.
"Urk! Y-Yes..."
With that settled, we were back to waiting.
Kiri's P.O.V.
I was busy typing away, not paying attention to any of the other batches.
Red Riot: Have any of you guys seen Bakugou or the others in person yet?!-!
Froppy: No, kero...
Red Riot: Well, they pretty much rocked the stage though, right?
Insomnia Cat: Definitely, haha.
"?"
"Who's Insomnia Cat...?" Denki asked.
"I have no f*cking clue," I admitted.
Did someone add a new member without us knowing...?
Red Riot: They'll definitely get through. Bakugou and Midoriya looked amazing!-!
Pinky!: Todoroki would've looked cool, too, if he was wearing the prince costume...
"And now, the results-!-!-!-!-!" the announcer exclaimed once all of the Masters and slaves were back on the stage, "The names of the Masters that passed are on the board now, in alphabetical order~!-!-!-!-!"
Both Denki and I's heads whipped up at that. We scanned the board for Bakugou, Bakugou, Baku-
"YES!-!-!-!-!-!-!" I screamed, shooting up with both fists in front of me. I threw my fists up, "GO, GO, BAKUGOU!-!-!-!-!" Denki laughed beside me. {He didn't intend to make a pun, by the way-}
And then I spotted Midoriya on the stage, who was balling his eyes out and breaking the floor in the process. Bakugou was smirking at the board. I couldn't see Todoroki's head through the 'ice.'
I burst out laughing, and then Denki and I were leaning back and forth together, laughing our *sses off at Midoriya balling his eyes out.
