Chapter 34: Meeting Class 1-A

"Meow… Meow…"

The cat purred, slowly rubbing its furry head to the sleeping being in the soft sheets of her futon. As it continued to tell its owner to wake up, Chiharu finds herself slowly lifting her eyelids as she burrows herself into the warm, soft sheets. Awaking from her deep slumber and the morning light trickled in through the blinds. She tried her best to compose herself to look upon the being who tried to wake her up, only to find out that its 'Tai' which makes her smirk on the idea because of Shota's affection to Taira to the point of naming his cat 'Tai'—as if she won't know, she's not a freaking kid! A smile spreads out to her lips as she pats the head of the furry little fellow beside her, "Ah, Tai-chan, Good Morning…"

Upon greeting the cat, she began her morning routine with her new house. Fortunately, Chiharu is able to climb to her wheelchair with ease because of her continuous physical therapy. As she spins the wheelchair towards the kitchen to make up some breakfast for herself, something caught her attention. There's a neatly wrapped lunchbox to the table that is completely untouched at all. Assuming that it's her guardian's lunchbox, she sighed exasperatedly.

"Ahhhh, Sho-chan forgot his lunchbox." Chiharu mumbled. Well, she's worried that Shota won't take the needed nutrients on his skinny body and speaking of him, if he ever finds out that he forgot his lunch maybe he'll settle down with another chubert or instant noodles which is definitely a no-no, so an idea comes up to her mind.

"That reminds me… Sho-chan teaches at UA… so…" A wild smile appeared to her face, as she browses her cellular phone for the map and the moment she knew the right way towards the school she decided to do something…

"W-Well, I'm delivering his lunch so…" She muttered, imagining the people she'll meet in UA plus having a tour to her dream school itself, "I-I think that's not a bad thing!"

"A mild case of constipation."

Katsuki's eyelids fluttered in confusion. "What?"

Recovery Girl spun in her chair and pointed a pencil at him. "You have a mild case of constipation, Mr. Bakugou," she spelled out for him, "Need I elucidate?"

"I tell you I have chronic chest and stomach pains along with breathing difficulties and you just tell me...I have shitting issues?" Katsuki tore the curtain from its hangers and hopped off the infirmary bed. Of course, he is fucking mad. He's having trouble when it comes to his chest whenever he thinks of Chiharu. It felt like every time he tries to talk to her via mail, there will be some shitty butterflies escaping his stomach. "Don't kid around with me! I need medicine or somethi—!" The next thing he knew, a lollipop was shoved into his mouth, effectively shushing his impending flurry of rants.

"I can see from your records that you are extremely fond of spicy food," the elderly medic pointed out, "All that spice can really mess with your digestive system if not eaten in moderation. Stress can also contribute to your dilemma so try not to lose your temper so much and just take it easy once in a while."

"I never lose my temper!" Katsuki roared, nostrils flaring. "I'm perfectly calm and calculative!"

"Yes, yes, off you go now," Recovery Girl mused, handing the boy a signed note and additional lollipop for the road. "Your next class will start soon. You wouldn't want to be late."

"...Argh!" Katsuki grudgingly took both items and stomped out of the school infirmary only to collide violently with another figure that was standing right by the door. Both fell to the floor, groaning in pain at the impact.

"Ouch!"

Katsuki recognized that girlish squeak anywhere. "Deku, you shithead!"

Both teens gathered themselves and stood up with Katsuki looming precariously over a trembling Midoriya. "Ka-Kac-Kacchan!" the One for All user cheeped anxiously, "Sorry! I didn't realize you were here! I wasn't eavesdropping or anything, it-'s just I-I, that is, um...!"

"Bakugo retorted, "Stay out of my way or I'll kill you."

Izuku flinched as Katsuki strode by him, only calming down again when he was given the familiar cold shoulder. 'Thank goodness,' he nearly said aloud. The last thing he wanted to do was get into a scuffle with Bakugo and end up accidentally breaking something right before their midterm. Although, he's been really curious about the ash-blond's behavior recently. He's really snapping and constantly cursing at small things, although, they're used to that but his behavior has been more vigorous lately.

Meanwhile, Katsuki stomps at the corridor with massive angry aura enveloping him. He is distraught. He hasn't been replying to her mails because whenever he even tried to speak to her, somehow this fucking 'constipation' is hitting him like a mad man. For now, the last person he doesn't want to see is the root of his problems—Aragaki Chiharu.

"Uwah!" She applauds, gazing onto the gigantic premise of UA itself. It's her first time seeing the heavenly gates of her dream school and of course, it made her jaw dropped on how cool it looks on the outside. Tightening her grip towards the lunchbox, she now questions herself on how she'll get inside of the school. Of course, the security will be spot on considering that she's not a student nevertheless a certain nobody who just delivers their lunchbox. Well, she doesn't want to set the alarms because of her presence.

"As expected, I'm nervous… What should I do? How can I go inside? I wanted to surprise Sho-chan but this is far how I go, huh?" She wanted to go inside. She wanted to surprise Shota especially Izuku, Eijirou and Katsuki. Suddenly, some thoughts appeared on the back of her head, which is whispering to her again and again –that person inside her—to use that quirk; the time stopping quirk.

"Just like that time when you use that quirk…. Use it! Use it!" The voice states continuously, rumbling and wrecking the insides of her brain. Mortifying laughs and screams encircled within her thoughts, gripping her own insanity. Stop! Stop! Stop! She pleads continuously, biting her lips harshly. Running her fingers to her soft silky petrol blue hair as she heaves deep exasperatedly breathes out of her lips, she desperately needs oxygen to breathe into. She strained her vocals but nothing came out, still she screamed, hoping someone would hear her. With every second she practically felt the rise of her blood pressure, but she knew that this was the least of her worries.

Abruptly, someone taps her shoulder causing her to flee from the delusion she is currently in. Snapping towards the 'savior' who brought her in her senses, she happens to encounter a certain tall, slender man with long blond hair, which he wears spiked upwards in a huge tuft behind his head, and a small mustache.

"Hey, is something wrong, little girl?" He asked with rather energetic tone.

"A-Ah, um! Do you know Aizawa Shouta? He's my guardian."

"Oh! Eraserhead's kid!? I've heard of you, you're Aragaki Chiharu, right!?"

"Y-Yes, um… I am about to deliver his lunch…" She brings out the packed lunch to him, which he carefully look upon, then he replied, "Well, wanna go inside?"

"Y-Yes!"

Class 1-A is filled with chatters all around the room as they speculate whether someone will do their homeroom in place of Shouta or not. Well, they suspect that another teacher will be able to handle their homeroom considering the amount of injuries he had during the USJ incident. As much as they're dilly-daily with their homeroom, abruptly, the door went 'bang', revealing the so-called person they've been talking about except that he's filled with bandages; almost like a mummy.

"Morning." He greeted.

The whole class' jaw went wide, retorting, "Aizawa-sensei, you're back too soon!"

"Sensei, are you alright?" Tenya immediately asked with his hands chopping into the thin air.

Shota replied as he walked towards the podium to tell them some announcements,"My well-being doesn't matter. More importantly, the fight isn't over yet.,."

"Fight?!"

Everyone seemed to be nervous again with what he stated. But no, they're wrong on their guesses when Shota introduced the much awaited event of all the students, "The UA Sports Festival is getting near." His sudden announcement draws the whole class 1-A's energy to their maximum level. Several cheers and claps where heard within the room except that they all stopped when they recalled the latest villain attack which Shota knew that they need an explanation for such event.

"Our sports festival is one of Japan's biggest events. Of course, joining an agency will get you more experience and popularity. Time is limited. If you expect to become a pro, then the path to your future will open up to this event. No aspiring hero can afford to miss—

Suddenly, Shota's explanation is interrupted for a moment when someone knocked in the door which made all of their attention fly towards the door. The door swiftly opens revealing a familiar girl which made everyone surprised, "Excuse me… Is Aizawa Shota—" Petrol blue strands cascaded down her back like molten onyx. Around her face it was cut a little shorter, feathered to accentuate her perfect round features. Once she saw the man that she's been looking for, her eyes gleamed in beauty and shots a smile that could lighten up everyone's morning and everyone is immediately smitten.

"Ah, Sho-chan!" Chiharu called with a large grin on her face. Then…

"AH!"

"AH!"

"C-Ch-Chi-chan!?"

"Haru!?"

"W-Wah! Chiharu-chan!"

"A GODDESS?!" Both Minori and Denki screamed.

Everyone's mouth went ajar, eyes completely wide upon the sudden appearance of Chiharu especially Katsuki. Heck, he's been avoiding to see Chiharu for like days and right now, he saw the least person he wanted to interact with. Meanwhile, as people are completely surprised by her, Shouto wasn't an exemption. As Shouta gestured Chiharu to come in with a wheelchair, Shouto's breath has been stolen in a snap. It takes a second or two for the new information to sink it, even though it is right before his eyes, larger than life. Then he feels his lips stretch wider into gaping grin and his eyebrows arch for the sky. She's here.

"Target locked on!" Minoru smirked in silence, staring upon her three sizes. The whole class is gaping into the new girl when Minoru just remembered something that tick his curiousness, ""Anyway, who is Sho-chan!?"

"Sho-chan, you forgot your lunchbox!" Chiharu chided, handling over the forgotten lunchbox to her father figure.

"Don't just barge in into my class, Chiharu! First of all, how do you even get here? You're not allowed to go outside with me permission." He hissed with venom, as Chiharu just brushed his warning off. However, the way she called her guardian 'Sho-chan' now caught all of the class off-guard.

"S-S-S-S-S-Sho-chan!?" Denki screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Who is she!?"

"Sensei's girlfriend!?"

"Sensei's a lolicon?!"

"SHUT. UP." Shota activated his quirk in an instant which made all of them to shut their mouths. All these speculations are getting out of hand and the last thing he wanted is gossips on his stand. "You'll have a handful later get it?" He whispered, rolling his eyes to her presence as he continued, "Since you're 'disrupting' my class, why don't you introduce yourself to stop all these speculations…"

She puffed her cheeks as a response to her guardian then deliberately introducing herself, "I am Aragaki Chiharu! Sho-chan is err… my some sort of guardian…?"

"Is she your child!?" Mina started, her eyes gleaming in another girl's gossips 101. To which, Tooru added oil to the fire, giggling, "Uwah! Sensei is married!"

"N-No, he's not married!" Chiharu denied, waving her hands repeatedly, "He's just taking care of me in place of my parents, that's all!" Then, her eyes sets into the familiar figures on the classroom,

"Ah! Eiji, Izu-chan, Ochako-chan, Iida-san and Katsuki! You're here so this is your class, huh?"

"Never mind that," Clattering his chair because of his unexpected anger, he pointed his index finger to her and began shouting, "what the hell are you doing here, Haru!?" The word 'Haru' echoed all throughout the room, resulting to another rumblings and speculations from the class.

"W-Wah, Bakugou called her Haru!? What's this!?"

Chiharu tried to calm him down, "Katsuki, calm down."

Upon rolling the word Katsuki out of her tongue, the whole class' attention swiftly returned to Chiharu who just called the exploding teen in his first name, "Katsuki!?"

"I am calm! What the fu—"

Shouta shot back, glaring upon the teen, "Language!"

Katsuki immediately clicked his tongue, rolling his eyes in complete distress and tried to minimize his anger and asked, "Why are you here?

"It's obvious that I'm deli…vering…" Chiharu's reply slowly began to fade when she caught a familiar figure in the corner of her eyes. And without noticing, she completely brushes the nagging ash-blond off and stirs her wheelchair towards Shouto, who is still completely flabbergasted in the way things are enveloping.

"It's been a while! You got in err…" She greeted but paused when she realizes that she also calls 'Shouto' by Sho-chan but now, she should change it since she's using it as Shouta's nickname. So abruptly, she didn't think twice and called him, "Shouto!"

"S-S-S-Shoto!" Minoru stattered, "W-Why!?"

"Don't fucking ignore me!"

"Aragaki…san…" With his low and delicate voice, he mumbled her name

"Sorry, I broke our promise. But hopefully, I can make up with you."

"Is she his girlfriend!?" Mina asked out of nowhere. However, upon hearing the way the alien girl tease them made Katsuki's blood boil. Eventually, he marched in between them and cut off the conversation, then he put an emphasis to every word he uttered as he clarified things, "HE'S. NOT. HER. FUCKING. BOYFRIEND."

"K-Katsuki?!"

"Don't you fucking ignore me! We're talking, right!?" Agitation filled his nerves. How dare she ignore him? The first one she should see—with anticipation—when she's out of the hospital is him. Plus, he never recalled in his whole life meeting with Shouto. Unless, Chiharu didn't talk to him about it and is secretly hiding their encounter. Just thinking about the possible outcomes makes his blood boil.

"But, I'm talking to Shoto…" Chiharu frowned.

"Shoto…! Shoto…! You've been pissing me off! What's your connection with Half and Half bastard!? When did you even meet him!?"

"So… Aragaki-san is your girlfriend!" Tooru called out, which made the whole class shocked. Well, the way the ash-blond talks to Chiharu and his 'anger' towards Shouto only clarifies that they're in some sort of relationship. However, upon hearing the word—girlfriend—made Katsuki's brain stop and register everything.

Girlfriend?

Who?

Haru?

My girlfriend?

Haru is?

Haru is my girlfriend?

Error 404: Bakugou stopped working…

Rebooting in 3… 2… 1…

"W-What!?" His face became the color of a bad sunburn, seething and burning across his ears. It felt like liquid adrenaline being injected right into his bloodstream - just enough to make his excited. His skin tingled when they locked eyes and his heart beat erratically in his chest so hard that he felt as if he would burst. But, Chiharu's thickheaded skull just have to burst his bubble and replied with a loud chuckled, "No, Katsuki is not my boyfriend. He's my childhood friend! Plus, Shouto isn't also so stop all the ridiculous gossips!" However, her statement made him pale in comparison. It felt like a bunch of arrows just pierce into his heart and it kept bleeding. If it was possible, the ash-blonde turned even whiter in the process of being rigid as a statue.

"Busted!"

"Got rejected!"

"Break time!" Shouta exclaimed, "Chiharu if you want to spend time with them go on… But after that return to the faculty room, got it?"

"Yes!"

"Oi, Haru!" Katsuki called out but it's too late for him as he sees her marching towards the exit with Shouto. And just by seeing that half and half bastard with Chiharu makes his blood boil. It's been a while since he saw her out of the hospital yet her attention is glued into that bastard. For now, he doesn't get this feeling inside his chest. Every fucking time some random bastard approaches her, it felt like his patience level will burst out of like a roaring volcano. He won't admit the fact that he fucking miss her so much. Yet, he's getting ignored!?

No way. There's no way that person will snatch Chiharu out of him. No way.

"Fuck off Half and half bastard," he inhaled sharply. His eyes glowing deep red to the figures of Chiharu and Shouto walking happily as he gnashes his teeth in pure agitation, "Haru's mine."
