Notes:
1. I'm just a mere fan of Boku No Hero Academia
2. Some spills from BNHA Season 1-4 ahead.
3. English is not my first language.
I was inspired on how heart melting Kacchan's sudden burst of emotions after All Might's fight with All for One.
I thought, 'why not see more of his vulnerable soft side?' ️
Anyway, I hope you like it! ️
Chapter 7: Meeting
UA, Class 1-A's classroom.
Everything was normal; the girls chatting with one another, Iida Tenya reprimanding Tokoyami Fumikage not to sit on the table, Midoriya Izuku mumbling on his Heroes Notebook, Uraraka Ochaco taking sweet short glances on the freckled boy and Bakugo Katsuki...
Katsuki looked at the window when a tear suddenly rolled down his cheek.
Izuku, unintentionally looked forward got startled when he saw Katsuki crying.
"Ka...cchan..." he nervously called out his name, "are you okay?"
All of Class 1-A seemed to have noticed when Izuku asked Katsuki; they were all silent.
Katsuki, feeling embarassed, jumped off the window and ran away.
"Bakugo-kun... just went out didn't he?" Aizawa scratched his head.
"I'll catch him and take him back, Sir!" Tenya said raising his hand, getting ready to rush out to get the trouble maker.
"Nope, let him..." Aizawa said, "it's time we patrol around, put your costumes on," he instructed.
Katsuki thought he needed a breather.
But with what?
Is it because of the things that has happened lately?
Damn nerd was able to fight a strong villain, again?
The League of Villains?
Provincial Licensure Exam?
His head was full of thoughts, when he came to, he found out he was in the riverside, a bit far from UA.
He reached for his pocket and looked at the many messages Kirishima has sent him.
He sighed and put his phone back in his pocket.
A glimpse of a girl by the river caught his eyes.
She had this long silver hair, tied up in a cerulean colored ribbon.
She was standing there with her hands clasped together, as if she was in a prayer.
Katsuki just stood there... watching.
Before he knew it, the girl was staring back at him.
"Crap! Crap! Crap!" he thought.
This was the very first time he was caught off guard, let alone watching a girl in a distance.
She smiled at him, as if she knew him; she waved her hand and signed, "How long have you been there?"
"Just now," he signed back.
Confused on how he understood and responded, he scratched his head.
Being lost in thought, he stepped back to have noticed that the girl was already in front of him.
"Ooooy, Bakugo!" Kirishima came running towards them.
"Huh? Girlfriend?" He asked smiling as he put a hand on Katsuki's shoulder.
"Stuuuupid," Katsuki replied as he hit the hardening hero on the head.
"Ah, you found her," Aizawa unenthusiastically said, "we're done patrolling, let's head back to UA."
"Eh?" Katsuki can only respond.
Back in their classroom...
"Principal Nezu had recommended a new student to stay in Hero Class 1-A starting today," he coughed as a signal for the student to come forward.
"Hello, my name is Kairi. It is nice to meet you all," she signed smiling.
The class was silent.
"Her name's Kairi..." Katsuki thought out loudly.
The whole class looked at him in awe.
"And that is how you find your seat, Kairi, you sit next to Bakugo-kun."
"Eh?" Katsuki, again, can only respond.
"EEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH??" the whole class roared.
The uproar was settled when Aizawa stared at the students.
Classes went by, then soon, they were back in the dorms.
Katsuki who was feeling troubled to the unfamiliar things he did for the day went out for a jog around the vicinity.
He opted to clear his head before meeting that strange girl again.
Come find me, okay...?
He stopped running, as if someone whispered in his ear.
"Must have been the stress lately," All Might approached the boy, "a lot happened these past few days."
"I see you're trying to get back in shape," Katsuki responded, "it'll be much better if you get back on your old self faster," he muttered; Katsuki decided he get back to the dorm.
"Ne~ Kairi-chan," Ochaco approached the new student, "may I know your quirk?" she asked.
Izuku's eyes opened wide, got his pen and notebook ready; it was too obvious that he was too curious and excited to know.
Class 1-A was so curious to get to know who this sudden and mysteriously added member of their class.
By that time, Katsuki entered the room.
"I... manipulate time," she signed shyly.
Everyone was silent.
They tried to look at Katsuki; they needed someone to interpret what was signed somehow!
"Ka...cchan?" Izuku, for the second time of the day, nervously called out his name.
Katsuki was just staring at the girl.
"Ka –" Izuku tried calling him again when Katsuki grabbed Kairi's skinny arm and went out of the dorm.
Everyone was just dazed of what happened.
Outside the dorm, Katsuki gently released his hold on Kairi's arm.
He scratched his head, inhaled deeply, then he turned around.
"Some dream, huh?" He said.
Kairi was just looking at him.
"I... found you," Katsuki signed smiling.
