Sooooo, I didn't do any of Inktober. RIP.

But I did complete NaNoWriMo! Which! Is very exciting!

I'm sorry I didn't update at all, even through December…. School has been rough -_- But thank you for your patience!

(Also I did not have the virus, for those of you left wondering. But I've been quarantined again since then…)

The things were almost as big as he was.

Kaminari snickered, making no move to stop Izuku from his investigation. Bakugou had left his gauntlets sitting out while he went to do a quick seeing-hearing test in Recovery Girl's office, and everyone else was running around the field in a big free-for-all. Kaminari was sitting out for the exercise, due to having short-circuited earlier that morning and not really being combat ready. Instead, he made sure Izuku stayed out of the fighting area so that Aizawa could grade everyone's performance.

But actually. The gauntlets were too big.

Izuku grabbed the top of the gauntlet and tipped the light-weight gauntlet enough so he could see inside. It was lucky that the gauntlet was so lightweight, Kaminari was certain the thing would crush the innocent bean.

Izuku huffed, clearly not satisfied with the view he was getting. He dropped the gauntlet to the ground, flopping down beside it to peak inside. Kaminari flinched at the hollow thud from the gauntlet, half expecting it to go off. It must have been empty, or there was some kind of safety latch somewhere that prevented it from leveling the field.

"Kami?" Izuku called. Kaminari hopped up and joined the little bean.

"What's up?"

"How does Kacchan's hero stuff collect his sweat?" Izuku asked.

"Uhh…" Kaminari blinked. He'd never really thought about it. "I don't know."

Izuku frowned, clearly displeased with the answer. He peered inside the gauntlet again before sticking a small arm inside.

"OI!"

Kaminari looked over to see Bakugou angrily storming over to them. Kaminari, eyes wide, took a step back.

"Deku, get away from my gear."

Izuku looked up, eyes shining. "Kacchan! You're back!"

Bakugou huffed. "Yeah, you little nerd, I'm back. Stay away from my gear, alright? It could explode."

"BOOM!" Izuku squealed.

Bakugou huffed again. "Hey, Dunceface."

"Eh?" Kaminari blinked, shocked by the sudden attention.

The gauntlet clicked into its proper place on Bakugou's arm. "You're a shit babysitter."

Kaminari gasped, covering Izuku's ears. "Watch your language, Bakugou!"

Bakugou rolled his eyes before leaving to go check in with Aizawa.

Kaminari chuckled, ruffling Izuku's hair. Izuku looked up at him with wide, green eyes. "You are quite the Bakugou whisperer, kid. I can't believe he didn't yell."

"Boom." Izuku whispered, a huge grin spreading over his face.

I have such a hard time writing Bakugou. It's so hard to be intentionally mean. Oh well.
