The next few weeks went by in a flash and before we knew it, the school festival was here. Only one day away. Nerves started to rattle everyone's bones regardless if they were on the dance, band or special effects teams.
Wanting to do their absolute best, many of the student's were on edge. Currently, the class of 1-A were in the concert hall running through rehearsals. Everything was going smoothly, although there were some minor changes. Such as Midoriya coming onto the effects team.
11:35 P.M
Back at the dorms, the excitement didn't stop. Too anxious to sleep for the performance the next morning, many students of class 1-A hung out in the common space while others decided to call it a night. Flicking on the light to her dorm room, Komei closed her door shut and collapsed onto her bed.
It's been a long day.
Giving herself a couple of minutes to relax, the girl then got up continuing on with her night time routine.
Tidying up her desk, the girl's backpack fell over everything falling out of it.
'Geez. Just great' She rolled her eyes blowing her bangs out of her face
She was too tired for this.
Bending down to throw everything back in her bag, the pinkette cocked her head to the left noticing something shiny.
"Huh?"
'Oh yeah, I totally forgot about this-'
Komei picked up the small object off of the floor. Too caught up in all the school festivities, the pinkette's mind was elsewhere. The amberite bracelet she got Katsuki.
Tomorrow's another day Komei-
.
.
.
Tomorrow's another day.
8:30 A.M
That's the great thing about being on the special effects team. No need to be afraid when you're behind the scenes...
Ha.
Although they did have some nerve racking times. Especially at this very moment. Would Midoriya make it back in time? How are they supposed to lift Aoyama without the rope?
As the minutes ticked down, the effects team grew weary... But there was something else that sent the pinkette over the edge.
The bracelet that was packed inside her bag.
"Woah Kyo Kyo-"
"You okay?"
"She looks like she's going to pass out!"
"Here sit-"
Kirishima, Sero, and Todoroki all crowded around the girl in protection of their female teammate.
Komei was spiralling.
Pulling herself together, the pinkette bee-lined straight to the band team who were in the middle of rehearsal.
"Hey u-um..." The girl tapped on the spiky blondes shoulder before nervously scratching the back of her head, face a blushing mess
Turning all their attentions to the girl (That being Tokoyami, Yaoyorozu, Jirou and Kaminari), their eyes widened
"Can I talk to you for a sec?" She questioned with more force in her voice then usual, immediately catching his attention
Hearing the waver within her voice, It was as if a siren went off in Katsuki's brain. He watched her intently, eyes now filled with concern before getting up from the drum set following her out of the building.
"I wonder..." Kaminari began as Jirou finished leaving the rest of the band team gawk in curiosity
...
"What that was about..."
Outside
"Oi Pinky-"
Ignoring his aloof shout, Komei just kept lifting her legs forward to find a quiet place.
"Hey idiot-"
Nothing.
Exhaling, letting out a frustrated sigh, Katsuki picked up his pace.
Going to her left, he grabbed her wrist pushing her towards the right making her back collide into a nearby tree. Blinking in surprise, the seriousness of the boy's voice is what caught her attention.
"Karin-" He stared her in the eye full of concern, beginning to cradle the side of her cheek letting his fingers play with her hair.
"What's wrong-"
Snapping out of her frazzled thoughts, his tone... was the softest she's ever heard it. Wow. It almost made her cheeks burn up.
"..."
Okay. He tried to be patient... It wasn't working.
"HEY-"
"Alright..." His nose scrunched as an angry tick appeared on his forehead clenching his fist tight enough for his veins to pop on his bicep
"Who the fuck do I have to kill?"
Komei instantly made a face.
'Kill?'
What was he talking about?
Why would he want to-
Oh.
"K-Katsuki you don't need to k-kill anyone!" She spazzed shaking his body back and forth finally having the courage to spew out her words
"R-Remember how you said you wanted a souvenir?" Komei pushed making Katsuki let out a sarcastic laugh turning to her
"Me? Where the fuck did you get that idea?"
"I think you've been hanging around that idiot for way too long-" He scoffed mentioning Kaminari
"I guess I gotta keep you away from him or his stupidity will rub off on you more than it already has-"
'Was that supposed to be an insult?'
Well, Komei completely disregarded it if it was...
"I-I've been too wrapped up with the special effects team, I totally forgot, b-but..." She shuffled through her backpack
'Komei stop rambling and just give it to him-'
"Hereyago!" She spoke super fast fumbling on her words presenting the small creamed coloured pouch with a small orange ribbon tied around the top of it placed in the palm of her hands.
Letting out a light scoff due to her nervous demeanour, he quickly grabbed the object.
Okay, let's get this over with-
What did she get him?
A key chain?
Kyushu chocolates?
They were famous for their chocolatiers after all...
Opening the pouch, Katsuki didn't expect to see what he did. His eyes widened noticing the bright piece of jewelry pulled out of the linen cloth.
The leather was woven, somewhat in a braided pattern. Once getting to the middle, that where the amberite stone was located.
Never has Katsuki gotten a gift from anyone before. Let alone a girlfriend for that matter. To be completely honest, he was quite surprised picking up the bracelet...
Well, before he lost control.
"HOW MUCH DID YOU FUCKING SPEND ON THIS?!"
"Is that how you say thank you?"
"How much..." He grimaced in annoyance shuffling his hands in his pockets
"No! K-Katsuki!" She spazzed
"Hey, stop it. It's a present from me! I told ya I would get you something didn't I? Just accept it. Please?" She put the leather bracelet on his right wrist tightening the straps.
"See? Pretty cool, totally suits you-" She innocently winked causing the heat to rush up to Katsuki cheeks as he immediately looked the other way
"I owe you-"
"No, you don't-"
"Yes I do-"
"Uh, no ya don't-"
"I SAID YEAH YOU IDIOT!"
"AND I SAID NO YOU DUMB BLONDE!"
"How about just go and kick some ass out there then we'll be even since you care so much-" She motioned back to the auditorium
"Tch, I fuckin' will-" Katsuki grabbed his drumsticks out of his back pocket proceeding to twirl one of them around his index and middle fingers.
Okay. That was cool.
"I'll be watching-" Karin let out a tight lipped smile
"You better do your job instead of gawking at me pinky-" He teased making her cheeks flare up
"I-I CAN DO B-BOTH!" She shouted before her face began to flush in embarrassment realizing what she just admitted
Katsuki's eyes slightly widened before turning into a devilish glare getting wicked close to her face.
"Yeah? You think so?"
"Mhmm..." She hummed eyes trailing the ground, evading his glare
Slowly, Komei felt her chin being pushed up as her maroon eyes caught wind of his piercing burgundy ones. The warmth of his lips then collided onto hers causing her stomach to do backflips.
Immediately pulling away, Katsuki clicked his tongue in victory followed by a mocking wink.
"See ya later-"
"Komei."
Leaving her in the courtyard, Komei stood watching his figure waltz back over to the auditorium.
...
He did not just do that.
'Okay-' Karin slapped her steaming reddened cheeks
'I need some water.'
9:30 A.M
The special effects crew were spiraling. Half an hour left till the show and one of their key team members did not return.
"Oh guys... what are we going to do if Midoriya isn't back yet..." Komei briskly paced back and forth
"He went to get a rope, a rope! How hard is that?" Sero racked his fingers through his hair
"We're on in thirty minutes, should we switch to plan B?" Kirishima pondered
"Do we even have a plan B Kiri?"
"He'll make it." Todoroki proclaimed
"Oui Oui!"
Just on cue, the green hair first year came running into the room taking on some major wind.
"MIDORIYA!"
Oh thank god. The team jumped for joy.
"Yo dude, what took you so long?"
"T-there was a long l-line up..."
"Really?" Komei cocked up an eyebrow
It was early on a Friday morning. Hm. That's strange.
"Okay everyone! Time to set up!" Kirishima shouted as the team followed their 'Captain'
"Right!"
...
"You can see everything from up here..." Komei gasped at the sight below her
Going up the stairs to the top of the auditorium, the special effects team was in awe. Even though they were up on the walkway all morning long making sure everything would flow smoothly, the pressure was totally on.
Noticing the band team carrying their equipment to the stage and the dance team rehearsing in their outfits, teachers such as midnight and Aizawa were standing near the front doors as they were to be the ones to let the students into the show.
Okay... it was finally happening.
Too distracted by her surroundings, Komei didn't even realize that she missed a step causing her body to slip through the rail.
Oh god.
The way she was positioned didn't help either. Immediately the girl dropped whatever she had in her arms to grab onto the thin metal pole supporting the rail with all her might.
Eyes widening in fear, Komei looked down to see her feet dangling, kicking and thrashing around.
"KIRI-" Her voice screeched in terror for the redhead.
It was the first person she could think of at the moment.
"KIRISHIMA!" She screamed at the top of her lungs immediately making the redhead turn and eyes widen seeing her position
Down below, Kaminari collapsed onto the floor.
"OUCH!"
"What the hell are you doing idiot!" Bakugou shouted walking over to the dirty blonde holding parts of his drum kit
"Pianos are falling from the sky!" Kaminari comically spazzed rubbing the back of his head
"What the?" He scratched his head in confusion noticing other objects scattered around him
A bucket, rope, flashlights...
Huh?
'What the hell is that idiot talking about-'
Referring to the 'sky' only made bakugou look upward... And when he did, his stomach clenched in fear dropping his drum kit creating a giant cluck sound catching everyone's attention.
Scared wasn't an emotion that Bakugou let out very often, but the expression plastered on his face...
Said it all.
There was the pink haired girl dangling from the catwalk hanging on by a thread.
"KARIN!"
Komei turned to the shout with tears threatening to spill.
"SHOUTO!"
She watched the boy run in the front of the pack racing to her location followed by Kirishima, Aoyama and the rest.
"I-I got you!" He successfully grabbed her wrists pulling her back up.
Being able to breathe once again, Komei gasped out a breath trying to calm down her trembling nerves
'Phew, that was a close one...'
"HEY! EFFECT TEAM!"
They look down to see their very serious homeroom teacher.
"If you pull another stunt like that, that's it! You're done. You hear me?!" Aizawa raged in concern
"Y-Yes s-sir!" The six of them saluted before they let out a simultaneous sigh in relief
'Phew that was a close one-'
"Are... you okay?" Todoroki worriedly matched eyes with the pinkette holding the side of her cheek with his right hand
Placing a hand on his wrist that held her face, Komei let out a comforting smile.
"Yes Shouto..." She smiled as he matched hers
"Okay, now help me up. We got a show to put on-"
"Yes sir- I m-mean ma'am!" He stuttered beginning to spazz causing the pinkette to chuckle at his mannerism
10:00 A.M
With the venue beginning to fill up with students, it was go time. Everyone took their positions. Dance, band, effects...
The curtains opened with Jirou in the middle behind the mic as the rest formed a diamond shape around her. Bakugou in the back, Tokoyami to the right and Yaoyorozu with Kaminari to the left.
The dance team entered the stage in a line with their matching yellow outfits as the special effects team waited for their cue.
3, 2, 1.
The light's dimmed...
and...
Show time.
.
.
.
"Now, START DAMN IT!"
"Let's show em' what we're made of!"
"Yeah!"
"Get ready U.A..." Bakugou viciously growled
"OUR SOUND IS GOING TO KILL YOU!"
An explosion went off in pure Bakugou fashion literally and figuratively blowing everyone away.
"What am I to be? What is my calling?~"
"I gave up giving up~ I'm ready to go~~"
Mina Ashido killing it with all of the girls, the guitarists a.k.a Kaminari and Tokoyami were rocking out, and Jirou's angelic voice...
"Wow! Look at them go!" Sero shouted watching the stage below.
"It's time to spice it up a bit-" Komei readied herself next to Todoroki preparing their aim. Her electricity was to spiral around his ice.
"And... NOW!" Kirishima proclaimed as it was now time for the effects team to take action. As soon as their quirks went off everyone's eyes flew upward
"Woah! Look at him!" Some students pointed upward noticing the dazzling Aoyama swirling around the auditorium.
"Hero too I am a hero too!~"
"My heart is set! And I won't back down~"
"This is going great!" Komei beamed out a smile watching as Koda release his doves
"Come on, let's not stop the fun now!" Sero smirked aiming his quirk at the pinkette wrapping her torso in his tape before pulling her body off the edge.
Oh, no. Not again.
Finally understanding the raven haired boy, she let out small bursts of her quirk creating mini golden fireworks.
Wow, in the air like this she felt like she was flying... like when she was with Hawks...
After being thrown up high in the air, Komei felt the tape from her stomach withdraw about to land harshly on the ice bridge Todoroki created.
But she didn't feel the coldness of his ice impact, only...
Warmth.
"Hey, look at that, you caught me twice-" An embarrassed blush slowly crawled up her cheeks watching Shouto's comforting gaze holding her bridal style
He let out a silent smile before placing her down on the icy bridge he created, continuing to then release their quirks... together.
Bright spirals circled around the ice columns as Midoriya assumed position begging to pull Aoyama around. Watching the crowd roar and cheer, the performance turned into a success.
"Hero too strength doesn't make a hero~"
"True heroes stand up for what they believe~"
"So wait and see!~"
