Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Toxic Relationships. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own My Hero Academia. Shonen Jump, Kohei Horikoshi and a few others do.
(Japan, Park, 3 or so weeks before graduation.)
Gunslinger didn't expect half the stuff he and the others had taken down a supervillain. They weren't even entirely pro heroes and they had taken down Buzzard.
"Guns, you going to keep looking at the pond or you going to relax?!" Blue yelled while he and Mina, both who were in their hero costumes, something allowed as graduation was nearing anyway.
"I'm coming over. I was just thinking on last or so." Gunslinger said while he sat down, Kyoka walked over and sat down like him.
"Buzzard wasn't the only villain in the group, we still have Barricade and whoever employed them." Kyoka said, Mina turned to her with a roll of her eyes.
"You need to relax, Jiro, you haven't been like this since I-Island." Mina said, Kyoka rolled her eyes at her and sighed.
"We were dealing with terrorists and a guy with a Quirk enhancing headband… We're dealing with a crime wave with the heroes only slowly finding out and the strongest hero around retired…" Kyoka said, Blue sighed.
"We can't enjoy defeating ONE bad guy, can we?" Blue asked, Gunslinger rolled his eyes under his helmet, he needed to get his helmet and gear looked at more after today.
"Blue, first of all, we weren't invited to I-Island. We don't even know what happened… Two, I love hanging out with everyone and partying as much as much as the next guy… But we both know the next part of this is going to get much harder…" Gunslinger said, he brought a hamburger to his helmeted lips and opened the helmet just enough to take a bite.
"Yeah, because the walking brick wall is going to be able to defeat all 4 of us at once." Kyoka sarcastically said, Gunslinger chuckled.
"Oh, now who's not taking this seriously, jack attack?" Gunslinger joked before Kyoka elbowed him in the arm and he winced.
"What the hell was that for?!" Gunslinger asked before Kyoka smirked and did it again, Gunslinger blocked it with his elbow as Blue and shared knowing smirks.
Both knew that Gunslinger and Kyoka liked each other, Gunslinger was beginning to hang out more with her and while they knew the duo working together perfectly was going to take time… Blue could clearly see that Gunslinger was working with Kyoka and both were becoming closer with each day, Gunslinger bantering with Kyoka was just more proof.
Mina also knew the same with Kyoka liking Gunslinger was true. Kyoka was talking more and more with Gunslinger. She also clearly enjoyed fighting alongside him if the smirks Mina saw when they fought Barricade and Buzzard were anything to go by.
That and she smirked when Gunslinger told his snarky jokes, even if they sucked or not… Plus Mina knew they had things in common like tastes in music, video games and snarking at others.
"You stop whining like a baby, I didn't slap your arm that hard." Kyoka said with a smirk while Gunslinger finished off his burger.
"Yes, you didn't wound my arm grievously… I'll seek medical attention later…. Oh, such a cruel world." Gunslinger joked, Jiro rested her hand in her palm with a sigh and a small smirk.
"I… Hate you… So much…" Kyoka groaned through laughs, Gunslinger laughed with her.
"You laugh, it's funny, bad joke or not, you still laughed, I win." Gunslinger said, Kyoka shook her head.
"Jackass… Freaking jackass." Kyoka said before she finished laughing and began to eat a few grapes, Mina looked at the others.
"I think we're finally starting to work as a team… We just have to deal with Barricade and then we're be done with this!" Mina said, Gunslinger didn't want to correct her that they still had to deal with the boss of the crime syndicate… He knew there would be more super villains as well.
They had earned a reason to relax and celebrate at the moment, Gunslinger turned to Blue.
"You guys know we have only a few more classes until the graduation? I almost hate to leave, but we're be done with school and their officially treat us like real heroes." Gunslinger stated before he looked at Jiro and Mina.
"Well, we already worked hard for a few years… I'm still wondering why most of the other heroes aren't aware of Buzzard, Barricade and their thugs." Blue said before Kyoka spoke up.
"Because most of them are preparing for the graduation… Mt. Lady isn't going to show up unless it nets her some tv time… At night, All Might is retired training Deku… They know, Buzzard's arrest is all over the news, it's just most are busy and these villains are smart enough to cause trouble in an untraceable pattern and making these attacks look small." Kyoka stated, Gunslinger nodded. They'd finish the part of the fight tomorrow.
They smiled and high fived.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! Next chapter is going to be longer. I want to also point out I just watched 2 heroes and loved it! I'm not going to show Deku because the story doesn't focus on the Sentinels being at school, but their life as a team. Next chapter will be next week or so and will show the Sentinels hunting Barricade. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
