"They're still out there," Kirishima said, looking out the window at the reporters blocking the entrance below. "I can kind of understand that they want answers but still that's kind of annoying."
"What do we do?" asked Kaminari.
"Hello? 110? Yeah there are some reporters around the Ground Zero agency, can you clear them?" Everyone shot their heads at Inazumari. Did he just call the cops on the reporters? The manager continued to speak to the phone calmly. "Yes...Yes yes. Thank you very much." And then he hung up. Noticing everyone's gaze, he raised a brow. "What? This is how you take care of things legally."
"Mari-san, you're so cool," Clearvo said as he reached his hand out, and the manager connected his hand with the sidekick's in a low five.
Soon sirens started echoing down the street. Kamiko watched in awe at the irony of police helping out a hero agency. "Reminds you of our first year at UA doesn't it?" a voice said beside her. Kamiko looked up to see Kirishima standing beside her, grinning with his adorable shark teeth hanging out.
Kamiko chuckled, remembering the mass media that bombarded the school just to get some scoop on All Might.
...
Kamiko choked on her ramen when the alarm suddenly went off. "Warning. Level 3 security breach. Students please evacuate the building in an orderly fashion," Midnight's voice reverberated through the public announcement. The silver haired teenager placed a hand over her mouth to prevent herself from spitting out the half chewed noodles in her mouth. She coughed a little before swallowing her food.
"What's going on?" she asked. There were screams in the cafeteria, and everyone started dashing towards the exit in a panicky motion.
"I think we should go too Kami-sama," Shinsou said, getting up from his seat.
Kamiko groaned, "I told you don't call me that!" She and her classmates started following the crowd, but due to there being only one exit, the students were all crowded together unable to get out. Kamiko and Shinsou followed along fairly behind the crowd, not fond of the idea of getting pushed around. "For a hero academy aren't these guys a little too scared about some security breach? I mean all of our teachers are pro heroes come on..."
"I'm sure it wouldnt be like this if everyone had an overpowered quirk like yours," Shinsou replied.
"Aw come on Shinsou you know your quirk is just as powerful. All you gotta do is make them talk to you and then you can tell them to shove a stick up their ass!" Kamiko said, walking in front of Shinsou, turning around and walking backwards. She motioned her hands in a motion as if she were holding a stick and shoving it upward.
"I really don't need the visu- look out!"
Before Kamiko could react to Shinsou's warning she hit someone from behind. "Shit! So-"
"Watch the fuck you're going you damn extra!" A spikey blonde boy snapped at Kamiko, and quickly walked away before she could say anything back.
"Who shoved a stick up his ass? Well for one thing you know that guy definitely isn't in the hero course. Not with that attitude," Kamiko crossed her arms.
Shinsou, however, narrowed his eyes at the blonde boy who walked away. "Actually... He is."
...
Her eyes widened with realization, and she turned around to look at Bakugou, who was sipping his coffee and glaring at the clock. Was the boy she bumped into back then Bakugou? Haha... Nahh, no way... Her brows scrunched up and her lips tugged upward in a grin of disbelief. "The hell are you staring at?" The blonde hero caught her looking at him.
"Ahaha... Nothing," she chuckled at him, rather suspiciously, leaving Bakugou wondering what she was thinking about. Kamiko draped her hands down, swinging them around her rather boredly. "So uh... What's the plan?" It's a Sunday, and she doesnt have school, so normally she'd be at home working on her manga, but the situation isnt exactly normal right now, so she had no idea whether she should continue to go about her day.
"Shitty hair, are the reporters gone?" Bakugou demanded.
Kirishima glanced out the window. "They're gone!" he chirped. Bakugou pushed himself off his chair with a light groan, and then looked at the confused Kamiko. Kamiko gazed back at Bakugou, her brows raised questioningly. Inazumari walked back into the meeting room with a card in his hand; he handed the card to Bakugou.
Bakugou nodded at his manager and skimmed the card before handing it to Kamiko. "What's this?" she asked, taking the card. "Quirk Usage License?" She read the label on top.
"With this you'll be able to use your quirk legally in public," Inazumari explained. "You can use it for self defense, taking down villains, or even just personaly use, though it's not recommended. As long as you don't misuse it."
Kamiko frowned. "Is it really okay for me to have this?" There's a reason for quirk regulations, and people with powerful quirks like Kamiko especially have to follow such regulations for the sake of society.
"It's for when we can't be there to help you. If you feel threatened, use your quirk immediately," Kirishima said. "Don't worry. If you accidentally take down a good guy, we can take care of it for you."
"Oh... Okay then!" Kamiko shrugged. She slid the license in her wallet, next to her ID.
Bakugou knocked on the door, catching her attention. "Let's go."
"Where to?"
"We both need a new phone dipshit. Are you coming or not?" he demanded in an annoyed tone. Kamiko growled a little at his attitude. There's so much going on, how was she supposed to know what he has planned for them?!
Bakugou and Kamiko walked out of the agency together. Kamiko wondered if they'd even be able to find a mobile phone store still open after all the destruction yesterday. To her surprise, there were still plenty of stores and restaurants still open, though empty. Some streets weren't damaged by the attack, and so quite a lot of businesses weren't exactly destroyed, but definitely affected by the incident yesterday.
"Hey shitty woman hurry up," Bakugou called out to her from a good distance away. Kamiko stopped staring at the scenery around her and hurriedly jogged over to Bakugou. He grabbed her by the upper arm and started dragging her along.
"Bakugou you don't have to treat me like a criminal, I'm not going anywhere," Kamiko grumbled. Bakugou didn't reply. He simple clicked his tongue in annoyance, as if signalling her to shut up. The image of Kamiko being held by neck by that Nomu flashed before his eyes, and his grip on her arm tightened. "Bakugou careful you're squeezing me!"
Bakugou stopped in his track. He let go of her arm, and looked down at the woman. Kamiko rubbed the area he was holding, a painful expression on her face. She pouted her lips slightly as she rubbed her arm, and then started to blow on it like someone spilled hot tea on it, even though she was wearing a long sleeve sweater, which made her look dumb and childish doing so. Noticing his gaze, Kamiko looked up. Silver meeting red, their eyes interlocked. A smirk graced Kamiko's lips as a devilish idea came into mind.
"If you're really that worried about me getting abducted, then why don't you just hold my hand?" she asked teasingly. With Bakugou's tsundere personality she expected him to blush and yell at her to fuck off and them storm off, but instead he took her hand in his.
"Good idea."
What?! Kamiko blinked. Did she hear right? Did Bakugou just fucking said it was a good idea? "No wait! Are you sure? What if people get the wrong idea?" Kamiko stammered. She couldnt help but turn a little red at the current situation. Her intention was to tease Bakugou's virgin ass, but this wasn't exactly the reaction she was going for.
"What? Then you want be to tie you up by the wrist and drag you along?" Bakugou asked.
"No definitely not." The woman shook her head.
Bakugou huffed, "Then let's go."
The streets were still quite empty, and since the reporters were all sent away, they didn't really catch any unwanted attention. The two of them walked by a large glass building, and from the corner of her eyes, Kamiko saw their reflection. The tall, muscular, handsome blonde hero holding her by the hand. For a second it looked as if they were a couple. The reflection quickly disappeared as they walked past the building. Bakugou's large green and red gloved were really warm, and Kamiko felt her hands starting to sweat just by holding it. His hands must be soaked by now. "Aren't you hot wearing that?" she asked.
Bakugou raised a brow at her. "I don't mean like hot as in you're so hot, though I admit you're hero outfit really does your body justice," Kamiko explained, holding up her free hand in an 'ok' sign to show him how fine she thinks he looks. "But I mean, don't you feel sweaty in there?"
Bakugou replied, "I sweat nitroglycerin, it's the source of my explosions." Kamiko made an 'o' with her mouth. Now she finally knows where the explosions come from.
"What about these gauntlets? What are they for?" Kamiko asked.
Bakugou looked at her in confusion, wondering why she suddenly became so interested in his hero costume, but he answered, "It's a storage for my sweat."
"You mean it's all sweat in here?!" Kamiko exclaimed. "That's...kinda gross but kinda cool..." Bakugou grinned as Kamiko poked his gauntlet with her index finger. When she looked up, her curious silver orbs met Bakugou's amused red ones. For a second she was taken aback by the way he smirked at her. He looked like he was showing off, but at the same time there was this softness in those red hues that made whatever was pounding inside Kamiko's chest pound harder.
She used to not understand those fujoshis on the internet who make Ground Zero doujins because she's not into the arrogant and boisterous type. Kamiko was originally a cool boy and sweet boy kind of person, so she's been stanning Shouto and Deku for a while. The main lead in her manga is also a cool and collected kind of guy, but recently she's been thinking about adding another character, a louder one...maybe with anger issues and a superiority complex.
"We're here," Bakugou said, letting go of her hand. They arrived at probably the only open Docomo in the city. Kamiko looked down at her hand. She can finally wipe the sweat away now that it's free from his grasp, but for some reason she felt a little disappointed, just a little.
There was no doubt that Bakugou and Kamiko are the first to enter here since yesterday. The worker blinked a few times, and even rubbed his eyes to confirm he's not hallucinating. "Well? You just gonna stand there or are you gonna help us with what we need?" Bakugou was certainly not having it with him.
"S-Sorry! Welcome! How may I help you?" the poor guy asked, his voice cracking a little mid-sentence.
"We're here for new phones!" Kamiko cuts in before Bakugou could say anything, knowing he'd probably snap at the poor dude. "I had a phone plan with you guys, so no need to set up a new plan. I just need a new phone and a new SIM card. If possible, I'd like to keep my original number!"
"A-And for Ground Zero?" the worker asked.
"The same as her."
The man nodded his head violently, and led them to a counter full of the latest models from the phone companies that have cooperation with Docomo. Bakugou looked around. His previous phone was getting old, so he may as well take this chance to update to a newer model.
An onyx 7x10cm jPhone SX caught his attention. The latest model of the company Pineapple, with three camera lenses, 128G memory, as well as an accurate GPS system. Bakugou glanced at Kamiko, who was looking through the other, smaller, cuter, less expensive models. "How about this one miss?" asked the salesman, holding a pink Sumsang Universe Pro.
"We're getting this one," Bakugou said.
"We're?" Kamiko raised a brow.
"Yes. We are," Bakugou confirmed. "A black, and...a pink."
"A jPhone S-" Kamiko gasped when she realized which phone model Bakugou was holding. She then lowered her voice and whispered, "Dude you know how much that thing costs?!" Kamiko held up five fingers for him. Bakugou rolled his eyes.
"Fifty thousand yen isn't much," Bakugou said. Kamiko faked a gag, holding her chest pretending to cough out blood.
"Fucking rich hero..." she muttered. "I'm not getting that. I'm getting the Sumsang, it's an older model and it only costs ten thousand."
Bakugou grabbed Kamiko by the back of her collar, for the god knows how many time. "You're getting the jPhone."
"Why?!"
Bakugou replied, "It has a better GPS tracking system."
"You wanna track me on GPS?!" Kamiko demanded. Well, by now she should have realized, the obvious answer...is yes.
A/N: 50 thousand yen is approximately 500 dollars. See what I did there with the phone brands?! XD
