"I'm not trying to cause a ruckus like you guys. I'm here for my friend."

Denki cowered when a buff guy with a broad chest, red hair, and red eyes came forward in a loud gesture, parting the curious and angry mob gathering in front of class 1-A like a red sea. This guy is huge. And, until his word sink in his muddled mind a little bit later, the only thing Denki could imagine was, is he going to wreck the classroom? Pick a fight with us in place of Bakugou? Angry, because we got a recognition way before him? Speaking about Bakugo, that Pomeranian needed to filter his cuss, man. We're trying to be a respectable hero here, not a punk who picks a fight with anyone around.

But then Denki blinked and the, surprisingly, soft-spoken sentences the big guy uttered seconds ago woke him up, causing him to tilted his head and wondered.

His friend?

In their classroom?

"I'm here, Kagami-kun."

"GAH!"

"WHOA, WHERE DID HE COME FROM?"

"SHIT! DON'T SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF ME LIKE THAT!"

"WHAT? WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED?"

Denki himself sputtered and stumbled back toward the shocked Eijiro when a teen with bright, blue hair suddenly appeared out of nowhere, right between the member of class 1-A and the coalition of any other students from every class possible. An appropriate reaction from everyone present, really. Although thanks to that, Red Haired guy's serious countenance turned almost comical, the tense atmosphere that surrounded them all burst like a popped balloon, and his classmates could finally sigh in relief.

"Geh, Kuroko!" Red Hair exclaimed, funny eyebrows raised till his hairline and mouth wide opened. Right, right. Kuroko Tetsuya. The one who managed to gave them a slight heart attack was his own colleague. Should've known, especially with that kind of Quirk; in which he could travel through the shadows. Anyway, this scary man—Kagami, was it?—said he was searching for his friend. Was Tetsuya his friend? Kagami balled his fist and rapped it on Tetsuya's skull, saying—or more like, screaming, actually, "you need to stop doing that!"

Their sudden guest blinked once, completely unfazed by the roar of the wild animal as he asked, "do what?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" Kagami grunted, scratching the back of his nape, exasperated, "forget it. It seems you're okay enough, to be able to pull a prank like that. But you're still going to see a therapist today."

Tetsuya's baby blue orbs clouded, a pout formed over his usually stoic mask.

"You're friends with class 1-A?" Denki heard someone sneered from the back, disgust clearly palpable (dude. What did we do wrong? To be able to garner that reaction? Seriously, are they really that jealous?!). Whoever said that made Kagami's scowl came back full force, though. The glint inside his red eyes brightened like a carnivore ready to pounce.

(Even knowing that he's Tetsuya's friend, meaning he's a good guy, still won't change the fact that Kagami is intimidating, Denki shuddered.)

"So? Doesn't mean I can't check on him. Was your friendship that shallow, to forget your junior high classmate just because of a difference in alphabets?" he spat, so heated, the mob took a step back. Kagami snatched Tetsuya's arm and started dragging him away, grumbling and muttering, "how could I leave a traumatized friend anyway? Stupid snob with their stupid pride."

"I'm not traumatized."

"Yes, you are. You called me and didn't sleep until two in the morning yesterday night. Don't even try to hide the fact. Those villains you faced before nearly kill all of you," Denki suck a deep breath at that, Tetsuya's shoulders hackled. Even Eijiro whimpered softly. Kagami must've sensed class 1-A stare after his too-close-too-true words, because he turned around and gave them a knowing look, lips thinned in determination, "you guys should go to a consultation too. It wasn't a coward thing to do, you know. To speak about your worry and fear."

Right. He did say Tetsuya needed to see a therapist today…

"A Hero knows how to fight a villain and save the day. But a good Hero knows how to take care of themselves," he continued, pulling the bluenette toward the hallway exit once more, "until you speak up your mind, nobody won't know your true feeling. So, do it before it's too late."

"Before you lose someone else and regret it for the rest of your life"*

Setting: Kagami and Kuroko are not basketball players here.

*Kagami let Himuro win in their Quirk spar because he doesn't want to lose his big brother. But because of that, Himuro was mad and they separated with an awkward goodbye. On the way back, Kagami was informed that Himuro got caught in hero-villain fight fiasco because he didn't go home immediately and decided to buy a snack to let his anger simmer down. He is in a coma even now and Kagami felt super bad at it.
