Drago: "It's been a long time coming, but here it is folks. The next chapter of Our Hero Academia! We hope this little bright spark of light is what you need to help pick you up with everything going on."
Kool: "Yeah, just wanted to bring more light into the world after all the recent events, and what better way than to have some heroes bonding and having fun?"
Drago: "That's right. Some fun and games are perfect for a bunch of teens to take a load off."
Kool: "After what they have been through, they will need it. Anyways, the bright side is that we took last time between chapter 5 and 6 then we took between 4 and 5, only 7 months this time... Please ignore that we are posting this months after we wrote it"
Drago: "Well... It's an improvement of some kind. I'll give you that."
Kool: "Alright, let's get the disclaimer done and shout 'plus ultra' because this chapter has some really fun parts I can't wait to talk about once everyone has read it."
Drago: "Yeah yeah, I hear ya. Anyways, we do not own My Hero Academia. That belongs to Kohei Horikoshi and Shonen Jump. Everything we DO own involves characters we created like Sean and Deion, and their respective families."
Kool: "Alright, with the legal stuff over... Go Beyond!
Both: "PLUS ULTRA!"
"..." There was no sound coming from Sean. He just stood there, head slightly tilted with his bangs covering his eyes. The other two boys realized this might be hard to hear, especially about one of their teachers and 'The Symbol of Peace'.
"So... it's true then." But what he said caught them off guard entirely. It even shocked them.
"What do you mean by that?" Deion asked as he crossed his arms, looking back at his friend. Izuku's own expression was one shock more than Deion's was.
"You already knew!?" The green-haired young man exclaimed.
"...How did you hear about it?" As far as Deion knew, before he knew that Izuku knew, that the only people All Might told was his father, and a few other close friends and allies. So how would Sean come to this conclusion himself?
"It happened a while back, way before we moved to Japan. I was going to visit my parent's office to drop off some lunch since it was a weekend, and I overheard them talking about something involving All Might and that he was in the hospital. I didn't think anything too seriously of it, and I didn't even mean to eavesdrop so I just acted like everything was normal."
As the words left Sean's mouth, Izuku mind went right back to what All Might said the other day about knowing Sean and Deion's parents.
"Captain Sky and Sky Maiden might be one of those people who were told, as well as X." He reasoned as it only made sense. Deion thought for a moment as he knew he didn't find out like Sean did, more like how Izuku did, seeing All Might in his true form in person.
"It makes sense because he did say he knew your parents," Izuku stated a well-known fact to them, but it was kind of lost because no one was thinking about how or why they would be told.
Sean nodded. "Yeah, All Might and my dad went to the same university in California. They've been good friends ever since."
Deion nodded. "And as you know, my Dad is one of the first groups of Foreign students to attend U.A around the same time All Might was there." He added.
Izuku nodded knowing both those fact, but didn't know about All Might and Captain Sky being close friends, or not realizing just how close friends they were.
"That's all we really needed to tell you. All Might himself said that you should know. I guess since he knew your parents, he might have known they haven't told you yet and felt it was right for you to know as well." Izuku reasoned before thinking to himself
'But why have us tell him? Why not give his parents the ok to tell their son?' the thought crossed his mind, but he didn't dwell on it for too long.
The brunette gave a solemn "Mmm" in acknowledgment, before shaking his head and giving a slightly strained smile.
"Come on guys, we can't just stand around here talking about all this serious stuff. We've got guests to entertain. Well, Deion does anyway."
"Don't remind me. Hopefully, Jiro or someone is keeping everyone in line." It was wishful thinking on his part, but slinging one of the bags over his shoulder, he gestured to the other two to follow him so they can get back to his place.
Deion's house wasn't too far away about a couple of blocks from the small conveniences store they were just at. They were only apart from the rest of the class for about a half-hour at most because of their chat. Deion's house wasn't as big as Sean's. It was clear it was meant for only 2 or 3 people to live in. It was 2 stories high but clearly could fit the whole class as he suggested. It was a rather plain-looking house, besides a small flower garden in the font, it didn't look any different from the surrounding houses.
"Here are, home sweet home..." He said as he can already hear the chattering of their classmates.
"MINETA! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GOING THROUGH HIS BEDROOM!"
"HE'S A TEENAGE BOY, SO HE HAS TO HAVE THE GOOD STUFF!"
"LIKE HELL HE WOULD HAVE THAT KIND OF STUFF IN HIS ROOM, HE ISN'T LIKE YOU AND KAMINARI!"
That little exchange came from both Jiro, then Momo as they seemed to be chasing the pop off hero to be around the house.
Sean and Izuku looked over at Deion, whose face looked stone cold as he approached the door.
"... It seems everyone made themselves at home..." Izuku tried to offer, only to earn him an icy glare from Deion.
"Shutting up." He pipped, making a mental note to never get on Deion's bad side for as long as he lives. Deion took a deep breath and opened the front door. The first people to come into view were Bakugou, Sero, as well as Uraraka.
"Oh, you guys made it-!" The Zero-G girl started before a purple blur blitzed past her and attached himself to Deion's leg, closely followed by Momo, Mina, and Jiro who seemed to be chasing him.
"I KNOW you have it somewhere! Where's the stash man?! Where's the magazine stash?!" Mineta was almost foaming at the mouth wanting to know where Deion kept his... Dirty magazines.
... He didn't even look up and see the death glare in Deion's eyes. "I don't have... Anything... Like that." He almost hissed.
"Duck," Bakugou said as he squatted down a bit. Everyone else gave him a confused look before doing as the hot head said... Only see Mineta sailing overhead and Deion's leg swung forward as if he kicked something, crackling with energy as well so he used a bit of his power to punt the smallest classmate across the room and into the wall next to the staircase.
"...You think he's gonna be okay?" Sero asked, trying to sound at least SOMEWHAT sympathetic with the perverted dwarf.
"When we decide to pick hero names in the future he could always go with 'Pinball'," Sean said, before looking back at Deion. "You have a cooler or a fridge or something I can put the drinks in?"
"Fridge works best." Deion's mood was right back to normal as he walked with him and Izuku towards his kitchen, Jiro handing back the keys.
"Besides the upstart, everything went smoothly." She reported.
"He might be out cold for a while, someone lay in the back yard," Deion called as he opened the fridge so he, Sean, and Izuku can unload into it.
"I knew you lived alone, but I honestly wasn't expecting you to have more than the bare minimum. Not gonna lie." Sean said, putting the canned drinks on one shelf. It did seem well-furnished enough to give off the impression that more than one person lived there. The kitchen alone had a table with four chairs, and the living room they walked past to get there seemed like it was made to accommodate a family rather than an individual.
"I don't always live alone. I still have my dad... He just doesn't come home often, or for too long." Deion supplied as he knew there another reason for why there were 4 chairs... There are 3 bedrooms in this place.
"Hey, Deion, where is the bathroom?" The question came from Tsuyu.
"Upstairs, 3rd door on the left." He said.
"Is it the one next to your bedroom?" Deion froze a bit before shaking his head.
"My bedroom is on the left, across from that room... My Dad's bedroom is the first door on the right."
He didn't want to explain more, as from there, it should be clear who's bedroom is in the middle there.
"Right, I understand." She said as she didn't want to get too into it.
The rest of the snack stocking went on in relative silence. Neither Sean nor Izuku wanting to make things any more awkward... until Kirishima poked his head into the kitchen.
"Yo, where are the snacks at?!"
"Oh, I have them right here!" Izuku spoke up as wanted to break the silence as well. 'Thank god, that was intense...' He thought as held up the bag for Kirishima to see.
"Sweet! Hey everyone, they got everything, let's party!" Bless Kirishima for being clueless.
"Gimme my cheese puffs man, I'm starving!" Kaminari bounded in almost immediately. And one by one their classmates were finally getting into the mood of just having fun rather than exploring.
Izuku breathed a sigh of relief because he was worried a lot more people might end up like Mineta if they kept poking around the house. Deion vanished for a quick moment from everyone's sight, only to return to turn on some Music, letting Jiro DJ for everyone as the Party was finally underway.
Even Todoroki, who seemed to be keeping to himself more than not, looked like he was at least enjoying the atmosphere a little bit.
"Alright, we can't have a party without playing any games! Who has suggestions?" Mina chimed up first, looking to make this a classic high school party.
As if being called back from dead, Mineta was somehow back inside as he looked perked up.
"7 MINUTES IN HEAV-OOF!" Before he could finish his suggestion, He was tongue slapped by Tsuyu.
"How about spin the bot-Ow!" This was Kaminari trying to talk as Deion was the one who knocked him over with a swift punch to the gut, giving Tsyui a high five.
"How about Truth or Dare?" Toru suggested as she grinned... well, she was grinning, no one else knew she was.
"I can get behind that," Kirishima said.
"As long as the truths and dares are age-appropriate, I believe it would be a fun game," Iida added.
"Well mister host, you cool with that? You can set the rules if you want." Mina asked Deion.
"... I'm fine with it. Rules are that dares are to be done in groups of up to 3 people, and truths are only done by one person. Nothing perverted or too personal. Other than that, let's have fun." Deion offered as he finally cracked a smile himself.
"L-lame..." Kaminari gasped out but was met with another smack from Jiro.
"Alright! Toru, since you suggested it, you get to go first!" Mina chippered out as she looked towards her friend.
"You can either be asked or ask someone else."
"Oh before we do, we should have a punishment for those who don't complete their dare or won't tell the truth!" Toru suggested.
Mina thought for a moment. "Anyone got a good idea for a punishment?"
"Losers should die," Bakugou called as he wasn't really in the group, but was close enough and was going play as well.
"Okay, that's... not an option. Anyone have any LESS murderous ideas?" Mina asked.
"Losers have to drink a random concoction of blended snacks and drinks!" Sero suggested.
"Ice cubes down their pants!" came the cry of Kirishima.
"Eat a spicy pepper in one bite," Shoji said.
"All the above," Todoroki suggested as everyone turned to stare at him for a moment.
"...What?"
"It's... the PERFECT PUNISHMENT!" Toru said in a sing-song voice.
"Alright, so if you fail to say something, or fail to complete your dare, you have to drink a concoction of drinks and snacks, get ice cubes in your pants, and eat a spicy pepper!"
Deion blinked before sighing.
"I'll get out the blender." He sounded kind of defeated as he already knew how this night will go.
"Alright, let's start than... Umm... Kirishima, Truth or dare?" Toru asked the rock-hard hero
"Who, me?" Kirishima asked, pointing to himself obliviously.
"Is there any OTHER Kirishima in our class? Now come on, truth or dare?"
"Uh... Dare! Definitely dare!"
"I dare you to..." Toru paused for a moment to think about what she wanted to say.
"... To give us your best impression of Bakugou!"
"IT BETTER BE GOOD HARD-CASE!"
Kirishima thought to himself for a second, before turning around and ruffling his hair quite a bit. Everyone was trying to peer over his shoulder to see what he was doing before he used his Harden quirk on his head, turned around, and screamed at the top of his lungs.
"DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!" His hair looked just as messy as Bakugo's, which looked even spikier due to his powers, and he gave the most demonic-looking expression he could.
"... I say that a good impression..." The only other expert on Bakugou, Izuku, said as he looked like he's seen a ghost.
"Alright, looks like you pass!" Toru cheered.
"And no one just pick dare this whole time!" She warned. Kirishima was just glad he didn't have to go through the punishment first. He quickly fixed his hair.
"My turn to pick than... Umm... Let's see... Umm... Iida, Truth or Dare?" He asked their speedy class rep.
"Truth!" Iida wasted no time in deciding and raised his arms to make it clear.
"Aww man... well, um... " He already had a dare in mind for him, but since he chose truth, it was going be hard.
"Oh, I got it! Is there anyone in this room you like?"
"Isn't that too-." Jiro began as Deion waved it off.
"That's fine for a question." He stated since it was rather open-ended.
"Of course there is! I like everyone in our class, you are all very important to me as fellow students and even as friends!."
His answer caused everyone to face fault.
"Dude, Iida... I meant like... LIKE, you know?" Kirishima couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"I think he meant to ask if there's anyone you have a crush on, Iida-kun." Uraraka gave an awkward smile and laugh.
"Then no, there is not."
"Well, that's a bummer," Kirishima said as he was hoping to learn something juicy about the normally uptight Iida, he wasn't the only one hoping for that as well.
"Alright, from my understanding, it's my turn to choose... Sean! Truth or Dare?" He asked the four-elements hero in a very Iida way.
"I'll take truth, why not?" Sean figured that Iida wouldn't be the type to think of anything obscene, but also wasn't too creative at this type of game.
"Alright, Is it true that you still struggle with Japanese?"
"He's speaking it right now..." Deion deadpanned.
"Why would you ask him that?" Mina asked.
"It is something that can true or false, as well as I'm asking because I may be able to lend him a grammar book from when I was in grade school that might help him if he's still having trouble." His heart is in the right place... but this isn't the time or place.
"Just a little, but I appreciate the consideration, Iida. You're a good friend and class rep." Sean answered. Iida gave a satisfactory nod to this. "Okay now, uh... Momo. Truth or dare."
Momo was a bit confident as she looked at Sean.
"Hmm... I'll go with dare." She was feeling bold, which made Mineta and Kaminari both jump up as they were hoping Sean would break the rules or figure out some way around them to make her do something they would think is hot.
"I dare you to... do some acting. Give your best performance about how you think someone would confess their love to someone else." This made some of them look at him weirdly, but considering they couldn't get anything out of Iida this might just be the next best thing.
"Aw come on! You're a guy, you gotta ask a girl about-geh!" Mineta was neck chopped this time by Deion because he was somewhat invested in this... subconsciously of course.
This made Momo freeze up. She turned towards Sean and stared at him like a fish for a moment.
"Umm... sure... I can do that." She said as her heart began to pound. She was shaking a bit as she struggled to find it in her what she could say... without using someone's name.
She cleared her throat.
"Hey... I don't know... how to say this..." She blushed a bit before she looked towards Deion then to all the other guys in the room to make it seem like she was doing it towards them as well.
"But... for a long time now... I had these feelings... And... I don't know how to express them. My heart races when I'm around you. I feel weak in my knees... and time flies when we're together... I think... I'm falling in love with you. No, I am falling in love with you... I love you."
Her face was beet red, so were a few other people in the room. Deion's face was just as red as when she said 'I love you'... she looked right at him.
The girls all clapped for her, even earning a whistle from Toru.
"That was amazing Yaomomo!" Mina cheered.
"It almost felt real, ribbit." Tsuyu nodded
"Yeah, she's was really good," Izuku admitted as he was one of the boys she looked more as well the whole time, so he had a blush on his cheeks as well from her acting.
"Thanks..." Momo was still beet red as she tried to shake it off.
"Umm...Midoriya, truth or dare?" She asked him.
"Oh, I guess dare? I don't want to feel like we're doing too many truths too..." He rubbed the back of his head at this.
Momo thought for a moment. "You can do this dare with another person if you like, but I dare you to dance with someone as if you are lovers!"
She didn't want to sound mean or use Midoriya as relief of her own embarrassment, but she had love on the brain now. She was kind of cursing Sean right now as she looked at Deion the most during her whole performance, and he looked just as embarrassed as she did.
Midoriya's pupils dilated, and his face turned blank with a small smile.
"...Eh?"
Kirishima grinned.
"Looks like we should get the blender started!" He laughed as he began to walk towards the kitchen before Deion grabbed his shoulder.
"Izuku...I'll do it." He said as he looked towards his friend, not wanting him to fail this dare.
"...EHHHHHHHHH!?" Everyone, even Bakugou, almost fell over at that statement.
"B-b-b-but wait, shouldn't he dance with a girl?!" Uraraka almost screamed.
"Pfft... If you wanna take his place, go right ahead Uraraka." Sean was trying to hold back his laughter from Deion offering to be an intimate dance partner as much as he could.
Uraraka, as much as she wanted too, was too embarrassed herself to do such a thing.
"Let Deion do it!" Mina almost cheered as Momo was almost bowing, shouting 'I'm sorry' to both of them.
"Well, if you two are going to dance, you're going to need music," Jiro said as, like Sean, she couldn't hold back laughing from how Deion offered with the straightest face ever.
"We got this," Deion said. He knew he would too scared to ask any of the girls to do it with him, so he was going to step in and make sure he can pass it.
Izuku was almost frozen as well as the music started. He was only snapped out of it as Deion dragged him out into the middle of his living room.
"She didn't say you had to lead," Deion said as he was taking the lead... Clearly, he's had some practice with this.
"Oh..." Kaminari started.
"My..." Followed by Sero.
"God..." Finished up by Kirishima.
Bakugo on the other hand was laughing his ass off at what he was seeing, and Todoroki even looked a little amused at the sight. He tried not to pay it any mind, but he was looking out from the corner of his eye. Meanwhile, Toru and Mina were recording this on their phones.
Both Uraraka and Momo couldn't look away either they watched the two boys dance. Deion dipped and twirled Izuku around with ease, even giving him a lift as Deku finally got into it, realizing that Deion was trying his best, so he had to make it just as convincing. They didn't say a word to each other, just danced with each other, ignoring everyone else.
They danced until the song was over and Deion gave Izuku one final dip, even somehow ended up with a flower in his mouth.
"...We never speak of this again."
"Agreed."
"Are we just going to ignore the spontaneous flower?" Tokoyami asked, speaking up for the very first time.
Everyone else just nodded, too dazed by what they just witnessed
Izuku was just as red as Momo was as she was still profusely saying sorry to him and Deion for the dare.
"It...fine, don't... worry about it... Um... Mineta... Truth or Dare." He was already regretting this one, but he had an easy one for both of those choices.
"TRUTH, TRUTH! I'M READY TO LAY IT BARE FOR EVERYONE!"
That statement sent shivers down everyone's spine.
"Alright... Why does your hero costume have a diaper on it?" He asked the much shorter classmate.
"That's easy, so he doesn't shit his pants," Bakugou said.
"Shut up! No it's not! It's uh... because... uh..." Mineta was at a loss for words. He wasn't prepared for THIS. But then again, literally anything in this game so far has been against his train of thought.
"Tick Tock Mineta, you need to answer in 30 seconds," Mina said as she looked at the time.
"Uhhhh, uhhhhh... come on, give me something else here!" He pleaded. "Have mercy, Midoriya!"
"Looks like we got our first victim for the punishment!" The glee in Kirishima's voice was almost as bad as Bakugou's anger when he's shouting at people.
"I'm sorry, I thought you had a reason for it!" Izuku said as he thought this was a no brainer for Mineta... Was it really something he didn't talk about.
"Toru, can I-" He began to ask.
"Nope! Once a question is asked, you can't change it! And once a dare is given, you have to complete it. You get punished for not answering in time or refusing to answer if it's a truth, and for not completing or refusing to do a dare!" She said as many pairs of eyes feel on the grape boy, waiting on him to either answer or get punished.
"I... I..." Mineta felt the evil smiles and tried bolting for the front door, but Shoji grabbed him by the back of his shirt.
"Sounds like a refusal to me." The multi-armed boy said.
Deion crossed his arms, as he gave the nod of approval. "Mineta has failed his turn. He shall receive punishment." He declared like a King.
"Yes, your highness!" Toru and Mina both played into how Deion sounded as they laughed. In the kitchen, everyone can hear the Blender already whirling around, blending something.
"Todoroki, can make us some ice?" Kaminari asked their icy-hot friend.
"YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME!" Mineta cried as Shoji carried him into the kitchen.
"Maybe we should just use what's in the freezer..." Izuku suggested, having seen Todoroki use his Quirk before and how much ice he produces normally.
"Don't worry, I got it." Todoroki, who seems more into as one would expect he would, was able to produce a sizeable chunk of ice in his hand. Everyone crowded in the kitchen as they were already forcing Mineta...By they, we mean Bakugou.
"DRINK IT YOU MIDGET!" He shouted as he was shoving the glass of brown slurry that still had chunks of candy and chips in it.
"I got the spicy pepper!" Sero called as he was on stand by with them.
"Someone open his pants for the ice!" Mina called
"I found some disposable gloves under the sink! Let me at'im!" Toru said, looking pretty normal with a pair of floating hands.
"... At least she isn't naked..." Deion commented at Toru holding the gloves... The rest of them sat back and watched the show that was Mineta getting the punishment. From Bakugou forcing the horrible drink down his throat, to Toru and Todoroki shoving the massive piece of ice into his pants, and finally, him burning up as he ate the spicy pepper.
By the end of it, he was holding up a white flag, waving it around as laid on the floor in defeat.
"... Since he's down and can't take his turn... Midoriya, do you want to ask another person?" Toru asked.
Izuku just waved his hands in front of him as if to say 'I'm good'
"Alright, I'll ask someone then... Uraraka, truth or dare?" She asked the Burnette girl.
"Me?" She asked, not expecting all attention to be on her, and not wanting to end up like Mineta... "Dare!"
Toru thought for a moment for what dare she can give. "Alright, I dare you to sing the opening to your favorite show, whatever it may be!" She said.
"Oh, that's not so bad. I can do that!" She gives a determined nod and stands up to walk over to Jiro, whispering in her ear for the appropriate music.
Jiro lite up as she knew just what song she was thinking about. "Oh, that's a good one." She said as she looked for it on her phone.
"So my favorite show is an anime with more than one opening, so do you mind if I sing just my favorite opening?" Uraraka asked. Toru and Deion nodded in approval.
Jiro hits play and 'Lovers' by 7! Began to play.
The Class 1-A students lost themselves in the music. Well, except Bakugo who's just there for the torture at this point.
"Nice one Uraraka-chan!" Izuku said as she squealed a bit for the praise she received.
"Oh, it was nothing and really fun! Let's see... Deion-Kun... Truth or Dare?" She asked him.
"I'll go with truth." He said as he already felt like went through a dare.
"Let's see, what hasn't been asked yet..." Uraraka pondered.
"You could... ask... him... what... sites... he uses..." Mineta said weakly from where he was laying on the kitchen floor.
"Ignoring the peanut gallery..." Jiro said she was thinking of ideas too to help.
"Well we already got love confessions, how about the ideal date?!" Toru exclaimed.
"Oh yeah! I'd like to know a guy's idea of a date!" Mina agreed wholeheartedly.
"Ok! What is your idea of an ideal date with someone?" Uraraka asked as Deion, like Momo before, was a bit nervous about this one.
"Well... Um... I would think... we can have a date where we go out on a clear night... with a picnic... and we lay there for hours, watching the stars as the light up the sky above us... just enjoying the peace of everything. Maybe some music playing on one of our phones as we just talk and gaze up." He said as he did think about that kind of stuff from time to time.
"Sounds lame if you ask me!" Bakugo screamed, but he got a bunch of glares from the 'love club' of girls. "WHAT?!"
"Don't mind him, he wouldn't know what romance is even if it smacked him in the face, but that sounded dreamy Deion!" Mina said, thinking about someone else that she would love to go on that kind date with... maybe one day.
"Yeah, I would even go date with you if that was what we're doing!" Toru added.
Momo felt the same way as Toru as well.
"Since when did you become the King of Romance!?" Kaminari asked.
"Since Momo confessed her love for him earlier." Kirishima laughed.
"She looked right at him when she said 'I love you' and it looked she was going di-." He didn't finish as Deion punched him in the gut, knocking the wind out of him with ease.
"Gonna need Recovery Girl for that one..." Sero said, trying to ease the tension
"Bakugou, Truth or Dare." Deion called to the hot-head as he has been waiting to do this.
"Why the hell do you gotta pick me?!"
"Because you spoke up about his date idea. Now choose!" Toru was obviously hoping for Deion to lay into him.
"Fine, whatever, dare." He just crossed his arms in a huff.
The grin on Deion's face scared half the room as he looked like he had an evil plan in mind.
"I dare you to give everyone here a Nice, and non-sarcastic, compliment."
... You could hear a pin drop...
Bakugo immediately went over to the blender and started throwing random food into it, cracking open various sodas and coffees.
"I knew that would happen," Deion said as he watched him.
"I think you broke him as well." Sero pointed out.
"Is it just me, or is he putting in more than what Mineta drank?" Momo asked out of concern
"Yeah, you really broke him." Kirishima pointed out as they all watched Bakugou drink out of the blender as if he was drinking his pain away.
"WHERE THE HELL IS THAT ICE!?" He gargled out between gulps of the slurry.
"Well... you heard the man." Kirishima looked to Todoroki, as did everyone else. He just sighed and produced it without any questions asked. Bakugo yanked it out of his hand as soon as he was close enough, still drinking his supersized sludge and shoving the chunk of ice in his pants.
"I don't know if I want to laugh, or just feel bad for him," Deion said as he watched his handy work. Bakugou than shoved the peppers into mouth once downed the rest of the drink.
"He does know he only needed to eat one right?" Soji asked.
"I think that was three. Maybe four." Tokoyami added. Everyone was watching in both wonder and horror as Bakugo seemed like he was about to breathe fire as he ran around the house.
Once he was done, Bakugou let out a large burp before going back to where he's been sitting the whole time. Everyone just stared at him. as there was collective thought along the lines of 'He must have an Iron-stomach' going through everyone's mind.
"Alright, so it's my turn to choose, even though I did the punishment, right?" He asked.
"PINKY, TRUTH OR DARE!" It was more like he barked out an order to Mina.
"Well since you chickened out, dare!"
"I DID NOT CHICKEN OUT, I JUST CHOSE NOT DO THAT DARE!" He said before he began thinking.
"Well, if you think you're tough shit, I dare you to insult everyone here." He told her.
"How about I just insult you as many times as there are people and call it even?!" She shot back.
"You know the rules, and what I said isn't against them either."
He was right, and Deion couldn't just change them on him or else he'll call Bullshit.
"He's right Mina, you have to either go through with it or go through the punishment as well," Deion told her
"Aaaarrrrggg, why'd he have to pick me?!" Mina was scratching her head in frustration.
"It's okay, we can take it," Kaminari spoke up, trying to give her the motivation.
"Don't sweat it, really." Tokoyami nodded. Even Kouta nodded a little enthusiastically.
Sean put a hand on her shoulder and nodded too. Mina didn't want to have to insult all her classmates for no real reason though.
Deion, Izuku, and the rest of the class all gave her a nod, besides Mineta who finally passed out from his punishment.
"If it helps, you can do Bakugou first or last." Deion offered.
"Yeah, but..."
"Are you gonna do it or not?! I don't have all day moth girl!" Bakugo practically screamed again
"She'll do the dare, shut up or I'm kicking you out." Deion snapped sharply towards him.
"Alright... I'll save him for last..." Mina said as she looked towards Mineta first.
"You're a pervert." She said before turning to Kaminari.
"You're much less of pervert, but still a pervert." She told him, going for the easy targets first.
"You are way too quiet and need to speak up more." She pointed to Kouta.
"Your teeth look like you were born with a beaver quirk," She told Sero.
"You are WAY too uptight, to the point where you seem like a robot." Stating the obvious to Iida.
She turned her attention to Todoroki. "You need to smile, you look like you just watched a puppy get kicked."
Momo was next. "Not everyone is rich so we don't always know what you mean."
She turns to Deion. "You're way too serious about everything, lighten up a bit!"
Izuku was next. "You stutter and mummer way too much."
"Yeah, that's fair..." Izuku murmured.
"Just like that!"
"I'm sorry!"
"And Shoji, your quirk can be creepy at times."
"Jiro, your taste of music can be a bit emo"
"Toru... stop running around naked sometimes." She was really starting to go on a roll.
"Uraraka, you really need to be more confident about boys."
"Yaomomo, you're entirely clueless about the middle class, it's downright weird!"
"Tsuyu-chan, whenever you use your tongue during training and stuff it looks kinda gross, I can't imagine how dirty your mouth is."
"Hey, you did me twice," Momo said as she shrank a bit to a small corner.
"Oops! Sorry, Yaomomo! lost track for a bit." Mina began to count everyone to make sure she hit the whole class before she tears into Bakugou.
"Okay, I think I'm back on track here. Tokoyami, you need to be more expressive! And Ojiro, for crying out loud cover your tail sometimes! I get as cold looking at that thing as I do when Toru's in her hero costume!"
"And don't think I forgot you both, Sean and Kirishima." She was a bit too ready to insult them. "Sean, you show off way too much in training, stop trying to be flashy. And Kirishima, you need to not be Bakugou's bitch." She finally reached it, 18 students, before she turned to attention to Bakugou.
"And you... are the most annoying, selfish, hard-headed, unstable, assholes I have ever had the displeasure of knowing. All you care about is yourself and you're so far up your own ass, you can't even say something nice when DARED too! Newsflash, we're all here to be heroes, and if you're only concerned about winning and being the best, you're going a have a very rude awakening sooner or later when no one pays attention to who you are!" She almost shouted out to him. She let out a sigh.
"I feel better... Ok, who should I pick..."
Everyone was left more stunned just now than when Bakugo went on his dare refusal punishment rage. There was nothing but silence
Deion finally broke the silence as he clapped. "Thank you, both of you." He said to both Mina and Bakugou.
"At least we're all having fun." He said.
"Yeah... fun..." Mineta sputtered out.
The rest of the game, while fun, was uneventful. The Kaminari, Toru, and Ojiro had to face punishment because their dares weren't complete. Todoroki was dared to act like All Might for the rest of the night, which is the most unsettling thing one thing see. Tokoyami was dared to sing 'I'm a bird motherf-er' For a whole Minute and flap around like he had wings. Shoji told the truth about what the weirdest thing he can do with her quirk, Tsuyu got the short end of the stick as she got the worst dare besides Mina's, She was dared to kiss one of the boys, the limit of what was allowed... She ended up laying a smooch on Deku's cheek. The rest of the players, Jiro, Sero, and Kouta were all truths, Kouta had trouble getting his out on the spot but was able to get out about his favorite animal he liked to talk to. Jiro's truth was about why she was so goth beyond just style, and finally, Sero was dared to dance around and call himself 'Spider-man' in a musical tone.
As the party went after shifting away from the game, the group of students was just chatting about random things like shows they watched recently, the news, training, and so on. The supply of snacks that were brought was slowly being chipped away at as well... with the first to go being the actual chips. Sean snuck away from everyone else for a bit to head to the kitchen himself, but a certain frizzy-haired girl noticed this and followed him. Though he didn't realize it himself until he was looking through the fridge for a drink.
"Aha, there you are." The blue-eyed boy said, grabbing a can of soda. After he closed the door, he noticed Mina standing there, looking a little guilty. "Mina? Is everything alright?"
"Uh, yeah... Actually no. I didn't mean what I said earlier and I wanted to say I'm sorry." She held her hands together while looking at the floor, it really looked like it was weighing on her mind.
"Everyone said it wasn't a big deal, even if you did get kinda heated with it as you went on..." Sean was trying to chuckle and make the mood lighter, but Mina didn't seem to even try to laugh. "...Do you really feel that bad about it? I mean you weren't wrong. My powers aren't exactly the most subtle to begin with so I embrace the flashiness."
"But still, I said some mean things to everyone and-GAH!" Mina was taken aback from the sudden sensation of cold on her forehead, courtesy of Sean pressing his can against her skin. "What was that for?!"
"There, now you're acting a bit more like yourself."
"Huh?"
It was just for a brief moment, but their eyes met in complete silence. Vivid blue and golden yellow gazing at each other. Until Mina started smirking and sputtering, before giving a genuine laugh to the American boy.
"Ok, ok, you got me there. I felt bad about it because you know, Bakugou just got under my skin from his comments." Mina was finally able to admit once her fit of laughter settled down.
"And I just felt the need to apologize to you and everyone else." She once more was silent before holding up her hand over her forehead. "It's ok, don't need another brain freeze." She added to make sure she didn't get another cold can pressed to her. "Besides, I like how flashy you can be. It gives you style, which a lot of people do lack. You can dazzle people easily with your powers." She added.
"Thanks, I appreciate it." He smiled at her. But there was something about that kind of honesty and simple response that made her blush a little bit.
"... Well, um... how is everything for you? I mean, you have been adjusting well to using Japanese. I still have lots of trouble with English." She admitted to him as her blush grew just a bit as she realized everyone else was in the living room and she was in the kitchen with Sean for a rather long time now.
In the other room, the two of them could hear the sounds of music starting up more, someone decided to get everyone in a dancing mood it seems.
"Well I have Deion and Uraraka to thank for that, those two have been a big help," Sean said, glancing through the opening a bit to see them hanging around and chatting with Iida and Izuku, as well as Momo. "But I can't give them ALL the credit. Being in class and talking with everyone else has been just as helpful." His gaze shifted back to her, rubbing the back of his head a bit.
"I see." Mina was fidgeting a bit herself, shifting her feet against the kitchen floor.
"I mean... if you want, I could always help you out with your English." He added, which made both of them blush even more.
"REALLY!? Oh, thank you! I always feel like I'm going die in Present Mic's classes! He's a good teacher but it just feels impossible at times." She said as her excitement jumped up from the thought of studying together, her blush was still there but she couldn't hold back how exciting it is.
"How about some time next we? I could come over to your place." She asked before once more, realizing it would just be him and her there... Alone maybe if his parents weren't home.
"Yeah, sure. I'd have to give my usual study group the heads up but I'd be glad to have you over." His smile never left his face, but he was already dreading the teasing that Deion might have in store for him.
"Yeah, same, I study with Kirishima, Toru, Kaminari, and Yaomomo often so I'll have to let them know about it as well." Mina was equally in fear of Toru getting some ideas like she already has the gossip about her liking Sean, which was true, but she wasn't ready to admit.
"So you ready to get back to the party? I was hoping we can get everyone to dance, thought after seeing Midoriya and Deion do that dare, I'm sure they will be sitting it out." She said, holding back her laughter.
"Hands down the best dare performed."
"I think everyone would agree with you on that one. Though Kirishima probably loved doing that Bakugo impression." They both laughed at that memory.
"Poor Midoriya though, looked like he was gonna have a heart attack."
"Deion's completely straight face and flower out of nowhere didn't help... Thought I think he got when he swung himself and Midoriya past Yaomomo, the flower was made of plastic when I checked." She giggled a bit.
"Also sorry you got trapped with Iida giving you the question for your truth. You would think he wouldn't be such a stick in the mud all the time... I was wrong."
"Eh, it's not a big deal. It was very... Iida-like." Sean reached into the fridge and grabbed another can, offering it to her. "Here. I don't know if you're thirsty or not but at least people won't look AS suspicious if they notice we were together for a while."
"Hm?" She didn't catch on to how long they have been there, and people did see her walk in the kitchen after him. Her pink face slowly became redder and redder before she accepted the can. "Thanks..." She said. "Maybe you should go out there first." She told him as with how red her face was, someone would think something happened in the kitchen between them.
"Good idea." Popping the tab of his drink open, he walked past Mina and went back to the party where he saw some of his friends dancing in the living room, though some were obviously reluctant to do so and were standing or sitting on the sidelines.
"How indecisive are you if you took almost 20 minutes to grab a drink?" Deion asked with a joking tone the moment he spotted Sean. He was once more hanging out with just Midoriya at the moment since Uraraka, Iida surprisingly, and Momo all went to dance. He also had to talk louder than normal because of how loud the music was.
"We did get a lot of everything so he had a lot to choose from," Deku mentioned.
"I was debating between not only a variety of flavors and drink types but also on if I wanted to pair it with a snack. The perfect sweet and salty balance is an intricate thing to achieve, so in the end, I just gave up and opted for only a drink." Sean stated, holding one finger of his free hand up in a matter of fact manner.
Just then, Mina walked out of the kitchen. While Deion didn't see her go in, seeing her come out made him grin.
"Sweet and Salty huh?" He commented a bit seeing it as it didn't take much for him to put two and two together, though he knew nothing happened. His favorite pastime has become joking on Sean after all.
"Oh, Mina was in there too," Deku mentioned until he put two and two together as well. "Oh..." He said understanding what Deion was joking about.
"Before you get your panties in a bunch, I know nothing happened, just found it amusing," Deion added to stave off Sean's wrath.
Sean simply said nothing and leaned against the wall, sipping on his soda of choice.
"Well, seems like everyone is having fun." The three were quiet for a moment as they let Sean drink up, Izuku breaking the silence between them as. "Just thinking that this afternoon we were all fighting for our lives and now we're dancing, having fun, and just... you know..."
"Being teens?" Deion added to his train of thought. "Yeah... I'm just glad no one was hurt today."
"It definitely could have been worse." Izuku thought aloud to himself, thinking about All Might's condition since he was left in the infirmary. Not to mention looking over himself and how he easily could have broken more limbs.
All Might's condition did cross Deion's mind as well since now they were the only three in class that knew the truth. "When everyone leaves, you guys mind hanging out a bit longer? I got something I want to show ya'll." Deion asked Izuku and Sean. It wasn't major, but it was something he felt he should show them.
The other two boys looked at each other and nodded.
"Sure, I don't mind," Izuku said.
"I know at this point you wouldn't say something if it wasn't important. So why not?" Sean added
"Cool... Until I can finally get everyone to leave, enjoy the party," Deion said before turning to walk away and head upstairs. He needed a small moment away just to take a break from everyone. Thought as he headed upstairs, Izuku looked up, seeing him stop as he reached the top, looking back and smiling at everyone below.
Another ten minutes passed after Deion disappeared before Toru had something else in mind, she began passing out drinks to her classmates. "Don't open them just yet." She instructed everyone.
She did a headcount. "Ok, where are Deion and Mineta?" She asked as Jiro turned down the Music.
"Uh, Deion went upstairs for a bit," Izuku spoke up, getting her attention. "As for Mineta, well..."
There was a loud sound of retching coming from the bathroom down the hall. Everyone was able to piece two and two together in a split second.
"... I don't blame him." Toru sighed. "Hey Shoji, can you go check on him?" She asked the tallest student there, who nodded and went to the bathroom the horrid sounds were coming from.
"And can someone go get Deion." She asked.
"I'll go." It was Momo who volunteered to go get him, remembering where his from was since she already had to chase Mineta of it earlier.
"Mineta's a small guy, but he's been in there for the last what? 15 minutes?" Kaminari asked.
"Yeah, he left not long after the dancing started. Normally he would have stayed to watch the girls." Jiro said.
"I feel kind of bad now for him. I'm sure Deion might have something to help him if he's feeling sick." Deku suggested.
"Let him puke his guts out until he's alive again," Bakugou suggested of course being Bakugou, but he listened to what Toru said surprisingly and hasn't touched the drink she gave him.
Meanwhile, Momo made her way up the stairs, seeing the light on in Deion's bedroom. She gave the door a knock.
"Yes?"
"Hey it's me, Toru wants you to come back to the party. You're feeling ok in there?" She asked.
"Never better... Come on in." His voice said as Momo did freeze for a bit. Slowly, she opened the door. Deion was laying on his bed, putting something away in his nightstand drawer.
"You know, when I saw it earlier, I did not expect your room to be like this." She said as she took note of the Anime posters, as well as a few posters of All Might on the walls, as well as one of Xerobeat, maybe the only one made for him.
"I get that a lot... Mostly from Sean and Uraraka." He said getting off his bed. "So what does Toru have in mind?"
"I don't know... But she's given everyone a drink and told them not to open yet." She admitted. The two stood there for a moment. Deion blushed as he knew he was alone with her in his room.
"Lets... Get back downstairs then." He suggested. "Oh, right, let's. Oh and Mineta might be sick from the truth or dare punishment, do you have anything that can help him?"
"I have just the thing," Deion said quickly going to his bathroom and grabbing a medicine bottle. "This should help him, I'll give it to him." Deion was showing real concern for him, even after the first thing he did was kick the poor boy into a wall.
Back downstairs, it had been another couple of minutes since Shoji had gone to get Mineta and he still hadn't come back yet.
"...okay now I'm getting worried," Uraraka said, with some of the others nodding in agreement.
"Shoji's jacked, how could he be taking this long to grab Mineta?" came Kirishima, scratching his head.
"I'll make sure everything is alright." Deion's voice called to everyone from up on the stairs. He headed into the bathroom and opened it to Shoji hold Mineta, patting his back as the poor boy was... puking his guts out.
"This is the worst... ah...Party...ever!" Mineta's voice croaked out between fits of... well throw up.
"There there." Shoji didn't look like he was expecting to babysit for a bit a puking classmate.
"Mineta, I got something that will help with your puking." Deion's tone was concerned now as he walked in with a bottle of water and the medicine he grabbed. He took hold of him. "Try to swallow this and drink some water. It's fast-acting so you should be fine in a moment." Deion gently helped him take a pill and drinking water.
Mineta... started to cry a bit. "Thanks, man... You're... a real... Lifesaver..." he said already feeling better.
Shoji poked one of his arms, the one with his mouth, out of the bathroom. "Deion was able to fix him." He said to update the others.
There was a collective sigh of relief.
It was still a moment before the three of them returned to the party as Mina handed Deion and Mineta their drinks.
"Alright, now since everyone's here, let's make a toast... To surviving our first encounter with villains!" Toru said as she cracked open her drinks. "And to the big heroes of today. You guys know who you are!" She said looking around to the big heroes, Iida, Izuku, Deion, and Sean.
"Izuku, you were right there and help distract that main boss villain until All Might got there, Iida, if you didn't get outside and bring back up, we would have been in a lot of trouble. Sean, you and Everyone who distracted that teleporting villain so Iida could escape was a bit help, and let's forget the biggest hero of today." She said.
All eyes suddenly fell on Deion. A feeling he was used to when it was fear and disdain recently, but now he didn't know how to react at all. Every single one of his classmates was smiling at him... well with Toru and Shoji it's implied, and Bakugou just doing his usual thing. Todoroki smirked so it counted.
"We wouldn't have Aizawa-Sensai anymore if you didn't step in." Todoroki offered up an explanation. The only people who saw the whole fight knew as well how hard he was trying to protect not just their teacher.
"Thanks, guys..." Deion tried to hide in a corner of the room as the positive attention wasn't something he was used to for the last few weeks since that Heroes vs Villains training. Momo pulled him, and the others who were being celebrated, to the center of the room.
"3 cheers for these boys, and to everyone else here. We all did our part today, and some went above and beyond what was being asked of them."
"Come on, guys! All together now!" Toru shouted, holding her drink out. "Hip hip..."
"HOORAY!"
"Hip Hip..."
"HOORAY!"
"Hip Hip..."
"HOORAY!"
Everyone then took a drink, giddy from the celebration as the buzz fueled more talking, mostly to the 4 people that named. Deion felt like just yesterday... Everyone was scared of him. Now, they have finally warmed back up to him once more.
10 o'clock went around and besides Bakugou and Todoroki, everyone went home in groups. Mina, Momo, Uraraka, and Toru were the last to leave, having stayed behind to help Deion clean up so he didn't have to worry about it.
As they left, it meant only Sean and Izuku were still there as promised.
"I didn't think it would be so late," Izuku said, wiping his forehead. He had a broom in one hand and a trash bag in the other.
"No kidding." Sean had a face mask and rubber gloves on, as well as a toilet brush in hand. "Mineta did a number in there... how can someone so small have a stomach as big as their body?"
"Well, we did make him drink a whole Blender full of the slurry so..." Deion mentioned as he finished using the vacuum in the living room, moving the furniture back as he did with ease.
"Thanks for helping with cleaning... that up Sean, I owe you." Deion walked over as he patted his brown-haired friend on the back.
"I'll go get what I wanted to show you both." He said before going back room. He went to grab what he looking at when Momo knocked on his door before. He pulled out, coming back down.
"Alright, here we go," he said holding out an old picture, taken a couple of years ago. Izuku instantly knew two people who were in the picture, well three. It was a picture of four people, Clearly one of them was of All Might in his weaken state, And the other adult in the picture was a black man with glasses as on his face. He was really buff as well, but not as big as All Might's muscle form. He was dressed in jeans and a black shirt with a large X on it. This was Deion's father, the Hero X.
One boy was Deion around maybe 7 or 8 years old. So the boy who looked around 13-14 years old had to be his older brother.
"I think this is the only picture of All Might in his weaken form that exists. I don't show this anyone because you can understand why... But Sean hasn't seen what he looks like I think so I figured I show it to you, and I thought you'll like to see it as well Izuku." Deion reasoned.
Sean took the gloves off and took the picture in his hands gently, looking at All Might's frail and boney form.
"How long?" The question was pretty self-explanatory to the two boys, regarding All Might's 'hero form'.
"This was taken once he was out of Hospital after what happened... I'm not even sure what happened. It was a couple of days at first... then it became shorter and shorter... I last counted that he can only be a hero for an hour or so... But that last fight really pushed him." Deion said.
"It did look like he was injured a bit during the fight. So I wouldn't be surprised if he has even less time now than he did." Izuku stated before taking notice of both X and the other young boy in the picture.
"That's your big brother, huh?"
"Xerobeatx. Back then he was a kid just like us." Sean commented. Even in this picture, All Might was smiling with the two boys. Deion's father looked happy too, but it wasn't a big toothy grin like the other three.
"Dad was worried we'll be too rough with All Might in that state. I was still learning to us my quirk... I punched my dad hard enough that he flew through that wall after this picture was taken. It was an accident and he was alright. All Might and my brother laughed about it." Deion talks about All Might as if he was his Uncle, stark contrast to both Sean and Izuku who didn't know him as personally as he did.
"And just after this picture was taken was my brother's first day in U.A. He was in Class 1-B."
"1-B? He didn't make the cut for 1-A?"
"I was just as surprised when I found out. But he waved it off like it was no big deal. He was just glad to be in the Hero course."
Sean gave the picture back to Deion with the same care that he took it with.
"It sounds like a good memory, all things considered."
"Yeah, I remember hearing the report that morning about him... What really happened... if you don't mind me asking now." Izuku looked at Deion as his face was filled with a bit of sorrow, but then a smile came onto it.
"I was there when he killed his partner and girlfriend, Flash Goddess. I was meeting them for Lunch. Meiko, Flash Goddess's real name, was waiting with me. My brother was late which wasn't normal. When he did finally showed up... He wasn't... himself. It was as if... It wasn't him. Just someone or something pretending to be him without knowing him."
Deion took the picture back. "Meiko sent me to go find my dad or All Might or some other pro-hero. I only just turned a corner before I heard her scream. I didn't dare look back because I didn't want to think or see what happened. I found a police station. I didn't say who I was, but told them just that pro-hero was acting strange."
"You think he was drugged or brainwashed?" Sean asked, going immediately into 'detective mode'. "I mean a Quirk is always the first thought but better safe than sorry."
Deion put his hand up, shaking his head. "It's just written off that he turned to evil and became a villain when he killed Flash Goddess. It could be another of things. I thought about what possible reason... Because he was completely normal when the 4 of us, my dad, me, him, and Meiko, had breakfast that same morning. No one knows where he was between when he went to work and when he attacked..." It clearly hurt Deion to talk about this, but he trusted them enough to at least let them know what really happened.
"Soon after I told the police, I ran home, never looked back... I didn't find out Meiko was dead until I turned on the news... And... I watched my dad... Beat my brother until he died. On tv."
"To think they would air something like that..."
"I remember... All Might was also there when it happened..." Izuku said as Deion nodded.
"It was an accident. My brother kept lashing out, and my dad was being stubborn, saying that he needed to do it alone, and refused to allow All Might or the police to help him. Will was going to use a deadly move... My dad reacted and took his life before he could take his." Deion sat down on the sofa as recounting that day was a rather hard strain on him.
"Deion..." Izuku couldn't believe the weight his friend had been carrying around all these years. It was horrifying just to think about it. Just listening to the recount was enough to put his mouth over his hands. Of course, he knew about the incident but hearing it like this from someone so closely linked was another feeling entirely.
"Don't worry about it. I just wish I could've done something... I felt so powerless..." He said before standing up, flashing a sad smile.
"But it was that moment, seeing all of that... That made me decide to become a hero. So no one will have to face something like Meiko and Will did. That I can be the hero my brother was, and what he wanted me to be."
Listening to his friend's story, Izuku's mind went back to when he first decided to be a hero... as well as when All Might told him that he too could be a hero.
"I'm glad I gotten you meet you... Because hearing that... Only makes me want to get stronger... alongside you and we can help each other become heroes... Ones that your brother and Meiko will be proud of." He said
Both Izuku and Deion felt an arm drape around their shoulders, pulling them into a huddle. Sean moved in and closed his eyes.
"He's right. The best thing you can do to honor them is to keep moving forward, and we'll be right there walking with you every earth-shattering step of the way."
Snapping his eyes open, he looked at Izuku, then to Deion.
"And not only will you make them proud, but you're also gonna find out what happened and bring whoever's behind it down!"
"And we'll be there to help you. Everyone will." Izuku added to that as Deion swelled up a bit inside from how much this means to him.
"Damnit, you guys just know how to hit a guy in the feels." He complained before grinning back. "Thank you, both of you... I'm glad I was able to share that with you. I already feel like so much anger I held on for so long... is gone."
"We should get going. I told my mom I was here but I didn't think I'll here this late." Izuku said.
Disbanding their huddle, Sean took out his phone and looked at the time himself.
"Ah geez, yeah. I never know when my parents are coming back but I'm fairly certain I'll find some leftovers when I get home."
"Sounds like a good dinner to me," Deion said as he walked with both of them to the door.
"You guys going to be ok walking home?" He asked both of them.
"We should be, thanks for today. We all needed it." Izuku said. "I guess I'll see you both later than." He said.
"For sure.". Sean nodded and waved before heading off towards his own home. Though as he was walking, his mind started to wander to everything that happened today. The fight with the villains at USJ, Deion's brother, and... All Might's condition. Today was practically nothing but overwhelming aside from the party.
Little did Sean know, this was only the beginning of the trials he and his friends will face. The first will be something that will put these newly formed friendships and repaired bonds to the test, something that completely slipped their mind... In a few short weeks. They will have to face... The U.A Sports Festival
Kool: "That was very wholesome! Chapter 6 and we have a lot to unpack here. Mina is my hero for standing up to Bakugou the way she did."
Drago: "Though Bakugou fans may not like it too much. But that's not the point here."
Kool: "While I do like Bakugou myself, you have to admit, he is an asshole and he had that coming. But you thought it was just going to be a fun party? Nope, We got more context on what happened with Deion's brother, XerobeatX from Deion's point of view, as well as that wholesome scene of him, Sean, and Deku being a good friend."
Drago: "And with this being the wrap-up of the first major arc, as well as the end of season 1 of the anime, we have plenty more to look forward to in the coming chapters. Maybe we can even shave down the wait time again."
Kool: "Let's not get too hasty with them, but I can't wait to work on the next chapter since we're going right into the next major arc, The Sports festival. With Deion and Sean there, what will the outcome... and will it put a strain on the newly reformed friendships? or make them stronger than ever."
Drago: "Hopefully it won't be a rollercoaster..."
Kool: "It's very much going to be a rollercoaster and you know it..."
Drago: "Well with that attitude it will be."
Kool: "Well, hope you are safe and well. Take care of yourselves, stay home as much as possible, and be sure to read tons of fanfics until it's safe to go out again."
Drago: "With that all said and done, we're looking forward to having you join us in the next exciting action-filled chapter. Until next time, ja ne!"
Kool: "See Ya."
