Hooooo boy folks. I have a problem... I can't believe I can write this much in such a short period of time...
BUT, considering this is a katsuXfemdeku fic, I think it's time to throw a bit of fluff in there!
so uhm... TAKE THIS AND ENJOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY!
CIAXLIA, OUT!
"I'm so jealous of your quirk, Kacchan!" A young Izuku with bouncy pig tails followed after the ash blonde boy of the same age. She was grinning brightly at him as he waved a stick around. "I hope mine comes in soon, I want to play super heroes with you!"
"I told you, Izuchan, no matter what kind of quirk you get, it'll never measure up to mine!" Katsuki looked back at the small girl in a pink dress, and saw he had upset her. He still held his grin though, as he walked up to her and patted her head with his hand. "Come on! Heroes don't cry!"
"But... I want to be a hero with you when we're older!" Izuku looked at him, sobbing as she gripped the hem of her dress. "I want the world to know the names of Kacchan and Izuchan!"
"What lame names!" Kacchan laughed loudly and shook his head wildly. "Don't be so stupid, or I'll start calling you Deku! Now quit crying!" The boy grabbed her by the shoulders and hugged her till she quit crying. "There, that's better. I don't need a cry baby following me around!"
"I'm sorry..." Izuku looked down at her feet, feeling better after receiving a hug from her friend. She gave him a timid smile and the boy grinned before he remembered something.
"That's right! I got these stupid things you were staring at the other day!" He said as he dug around in his pocket. He never liked seeing that sad sappy look on the girls face, it didn't suit her. He pulled out a plastic capsule. "Hold out your hands, stupid."
"What is it...?" Izuku asked curiously as she did as she was told and the young Katsuki popped the capsule open and dumped the contents of it into her hands. There were two metal bracelets in her hand now, the metallic paint on them bright in color. They were a matching pair of bracelets with All Mights colors, in a funky design. The main metal plates on them fit togther like puzzle pieces, and Izuku's expression lit up with happiness. "Th-The All Might friendship bracelets?! I've wanted these forever!"
"Yeah," Katsuki rubbed a finger under his nose like it was nothing, and to him it was. He knew everything there was too know about her. He looked down at her beaming expression and felt a warm sensation in his chest as she looked up at him with that brilliant smile. "Stop grinning like an idiot!" He snatched them out of her hand and sat down with a sharp rock on the ground. "Now I'm going to carve our names into the back of them!"
"Y-you mean... You'll wear it?" Izuku asked him with a blush to her cheeks as she knelt beside him.
"Of course I will, stupid. I bought them for you and me!" He told her as he carved his name with the rock into one bracelet and then her name into the other. "There, all done! Here." He shoved the bracelet with his name carved on it, into her hand. She looked up at him as she watched Katsuki clasp the one with her name on it, onto his wrist. He looked over at her, and laughed as he saw the stupid look on her face. "WAHAHA! What?! Need help?!" He asked and watched as she nodded her head. "Here."
"Does this mean we'll be friends for ever Kacchan?" Izuku asked him as he clasped the bracelet around her wrist.
"Of course, stupid." He looked into her emerald green eyes as he held his bracelet next to hers, and the two fit together perfectly. "So don't you ever take that thing off, you here me!?"
"Mmmhmm!" Izuku smiled brightly at her friend and nodded her head with a warm laugh. "I hear you!"
"Kacchan..." Izuku whispered to herself as she gripped her right hands wrist with her left hand. She was wondering why she remembered the past all of a sudden as her and Uraraka planned out their approach for the scenario, and were looking at the map of the building. They only had five minutes to make up a plan of attack, and she let out a sigh as she looked over the map, before muttering to herself. Uraraka was watching her for a second before she put her helmet on over her head.
"Deku-chan you don't look so good, are you sure you'll be okay in there?" The brunette asked her friend worriedly. She had seen Katsuki and Izuku interact and wasn't too sure if she liked this scenario.
"Huh? I'm alright." Izuku looked up and smiled at her friend. "I guess I might be really tense beause Kacchan is our opponent... Iida too..." Izuku looked back down at the map in her hand as she commited it to her memory.
"But Bakugo is the one who keeps on bullying you..." Uraraka put a hand on her friend's shoulder and Izuku looked up again once more. "If you want I can take him on for you."
"No... I need to do this." Izuku all of a sudden beamed brightly at Uraraka and clenched her fist. "He's changed a lot, but he's still my friend and I admire him. He's full of ambition and confidence, he has an amazing quirk... He's better than me in so many ways right now... But right now. I don't want to loose. I can't loose. I need to show him that I've gotten stronger, and that I can beat him."
Uraraka watched as her friend pulled on her protective face mask over her mouth, covering the confident grin plastered on her face, before pulling her hood up and tucking her hair in. "Deku-chan... Do you love that guy...?" She asked curiously and watched as Izuku almost toppled over in shock.
"Wh-what?! NO! I'm so sorry I shouldn't have ranted like that!" Izuku waved her hands around to brush off any ideas in her head about love for her childhood friend. "I-I don't like that guy!" Her cheeks were a bright red and she was glad her mouth guard hid the blush from Uraraka who was grinning widely at her. "O-Ochachan... Please... don't look at me like that, I really don't! Th-that's impossible... Me and him..."
"Hohoho, the buds of romance..." Uraraka laughed happily and giggled into her hand. Izuku looked at her worriedly as she leaned in close to her friend. "Well to bad for him, because I wont hand you over to him!"
"O-OCHACHAAAAAN." Izuku cried out, and they heard the horn blare above them. Izuku's expression hardened instantly, and she looked up at the building. "Ah... Let's do this."
"Whoa," Uraraka watched as Izuku's focus went from their talk of romance to battle in a snap. She smiled warmly, before she smacked her hand on her friend's back and took her hand. "I admire you Izuku!"
"What for?" Izuku asked as she gripped Uraraka's hand with hers and floated up to an open window with her. The weight Uraraka provided kept her from floating to high, and the girls clambered inside the window, and Uraraka released her quirk so Izuku could step on the ground. "I'm really nothing to admire..."
"You totally are, you're strong and independent, but also cute as a kitten. I love it." Uraraka smiled brightly and followed behind the girl in the green suit as they crept through the halls.
"Ahaha..." Izuku laughed nervously, before she took a breath to calm her nerves. "Ochachan... I know him better than anyone else... So I know he's coming for me for a fight. I need you to proceed with the plan and head up towards the bomb while I distract him, alright?" She looked back at the girl in black and pink.
"But what if he beats you up? He's the type to go all out on a girl!" Uraraka protested.
"I know he is, that's what I like about him." Izuku smiled, and continued to sneak around the hallways with Uraraka, heading upwards. "If he really does go all out on me, it means he see's me as a rival worthy of his full strength. I'm Okay with that, and I wouldn't have it any other way."
"... Deku-chan..." Uraraka felt a sense of pride for her new friend as they got close to a corner they needed to take.
"DEKU." They saw him the second he rounded the corner, he was surprisingly silent. Izuku saw the rage in his eyes, and she spun around and grabbed Uraraka by the shoulder and dove back out of the way of the explosion he sent at them, smoke filling the hall.
"Ochachan, are you okay?!" Izuku asked as she pushed herself up, her costume smoking from the explosion she took. Her hood was obliterated on one side and her shoulder exposed.
"Y-yeah, thanks!" Uraraka got to her feet with Izuku and glanced at her. Izuku's emerald eyes were focused on Katsuki, as she pushed back her hood and clenched her fists. "He came out of no where so quietly...!"
"Damnit you stupid Deku..." Katsuki was growling with rage as he stood up from the smoke. "Don't you fucking dodge my attacks!"
"Like I said... His priority is me, he really wants to beat me up." Izuku smiled nervously now, "When there is an opening, make a run for it..."
"I'LL BLOW YOU AWAY!" Katsuki shouted as he launched himself at her, winding up his right hand for an explosive punch. He couldn't see it, but Izuku was grinning behind her mask as she met him half way, and grabbed him by the gauntlet he wore with both arms. "THE SHIT-?!"
"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Izuku let out a battle cry, as she twisted her body, using her strength quirk, she pulled Katsuki over her, and slammed him into the ground on his back, cause int dust and rubble in the air to kick up again from the force. She looked down at him with a look of pure determination while she read shock on his face. "You idiot! You always lead with a right hook... You think I was just chasing after you all these years with out watching...?" She leaped back from him to put distance between the both of them, and raised her fists. "... I took notes all all the heroes over the years... Every last one I thought was amazing... Including you! THE SAME NOTES YOU BLEW UP AND TOSSED OUT THE WINDOW!"
Katsuki was getting up from the ground and he turned around with a look of murder in his eyes as she stood there, tears starting to form in those big green eyes that were always looking at him.
"I'm no longer the cry baby girl who chased after you... no longer am I some useless Deku... I'M THE DEKU WHOSE VIBE IS NEVER GIVING UP! I'LL SHOW YOU THE POWER OF MY QUIRK THAT YOU THOUGHT I NEVER HAD!"
"You..." Katsuki's ruby red eyes narrowed at her as she yelled at him with all her might. "You used to ball your eyes out when ever you went up against me... NOW I'M REALLY MAD!"
Izuku's eyes stayed trained on her opponent, but she could see now that Uraraka was on the other side of Katsuki, and she smiled behind her mask. "OCHACHAN! GO!" She shouted out as Katsuki launched himself at her with his explosions, and aimed a kick at her head. Izuku brought her arms up to protect herself, and caught him by the foot. Izuku looked away for a second to see her friend running away before a fist came crashing down on her head making her dizzy.
"YOU DON'T HAVE THE OPTION TOO LOOK AWAY! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO ONLY EVER LOOK AT ME!" Katsuki yelled at her, but felt a tug on his leg behind his knee. She had her hands on his leg and she gripped him tightly with her small hands, and swung him around with all her might to throw him away down the hall. "HEY! WHAT THE HELL!?"
"Sorry Kacchan, but I need a second to think!" She shouted as she took off in a different direction and rounded a corner. She felt her heart pounding in excitement. She had done it, she had thrown Kacchan off her and even slammed him into the ground. "Haha, I'm going to get beat up later for this!" she laughed nervously as she heard him follow her down the hall.
"HEY! Get back here!" Kasuki shouted as he ran down the hallway. "I bet you had a good laugh at me all these years, pretending you didn't have a quirk... So now you have no problem using it right?! It's pretty fucking flashy! Come on now, DEKU, GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME HEAD ON, AND I'LL SHOW YOU I'M STRONGER!"
Izuku hid around a corner and crouched down to catch her breath. She could hear Katsuki loosing his god damn mind all over the place judging by the amount of explosions she could hear going off every second. She had to think of a plan... He'd totally ignored Uraraka, so he was more than focused on her. She thought about what he said, making sure to always look at him... well he was doing the same thing. This was the best scenario for her and Uraraka... "I need to keep my eyes on his palms... I can't let him surprise me... I know all his moves..." She smiled to herself, and clenched her fists.
Katsuki had quieted down now, and growled to himself as he stalked the halls, hunting for Izuku. His thoughts went back to their last days of junior high, then to moments ago as she yelled at him. "shit..." He muttered to himself as he thought back to their childhood... She was always quiet, always right behind him, and always wearing the bracelet they shared... He remembered the day he came up with Deku, he thought it was cute, Izuku was too long, but the other boys used it to tease her, so he did the same, earning praise of being called smart. He remembered how they skipped rocks together, and how she just couldn't do it no matter how hard she tried... But then his quirk came. That was the greatest day of his life, She even praised him for how amazing it was being told he could be a great hero, and her shining green eyes looking only at him with admiration.
Then one of the worst days of his life came... She was just sitting there like an idiot, a shocked expression on her face and tear stains on her cheeks. She had found out she had no quirk... She looked broken... He decided he wanted to cheer her up, even a useless Deku couldn't just sit there like a doll forever. He had lead the other kids and her into the forest, they were playing hero. He was walking across a log with the rest of them, the stupid zombie of a girl behind him. He just wanted her to fucking smile again, was that too much to ask?
That's when he slipped, and felt a strong hand grab him to keep him from ending up in the stream below... He looked up into the worried eyes of the girl he was trying to help, but instead she was helping him look uncool as she held onto his hand to keep him from falling. The look of zero effort in her eyes.
"Are you ok?"
Those words haunted him for life. Their matching metal bracelets had clinked against each other as she started to pull him up. Thats when he first saw the glowing green of her arms... but he was upset. He looked like a weakling in front of the other boys! He smacked her in the face instead and they both ended up in the water below. He got up and glared down at the soaking wet girl with a red mark on her cheek, and tears in her eyes.
He then remembered the day he was attacked by that villain. She ran right for him with out thinking about herself, She had found his hands in the sludge and her eyes were on nothing but him, tears were clouding her emerald green orbs once gain as she looked at him and pulled his arms free from that sludge, but again... She made him look weak in front of others...
"I'm Stronger than you..." Katsuki growled to himself, his mind filled with only her eyes.
"Deku!" Izuku was shocked out of her thoughts by Uraraka's voice in her ear and she touched the communication device in her ear. "I got discovered by Iida, I'm so sorry... He's coming closer to me!"
"Where are you...?" Izuku asked Uraraka, and looked up at the ceiling, thinking about the plans of the building for a moment.
"I'm in the middle room on the fifth floor!" Uraraka sounded stressed out and Izuku bit her lip as she stood up.
"We don't have much time left... And if time runs out they win." Izuku clenched her fists as she looked down the hallway to where she needed to go. "We can't let them win..."
She felt the hair on her neck stand up as she heard a metallic click behind her and Izuku turned her head around, eyes wide.
"It's ready..." Katsuki's voice was low and he looked up at her with eyes full of rage. "Why won't you use your quirk, Deku...? Are you looking down on me?"
"Kacchan..." Izuku held eye contact with him, and felt her heart racing with fear as he pointed his right hand at her. "I'm not afraid of you anymore!" She shouted at him, as she clenched her fists and kept her stance low.
"I know all about your stalking habits you know..." Katsuki had a grin on his face now. "I guess you were always looking at me, huh? You should know that my explosions are sparked by the sweat on my palms, it's like secreting nitroglycerin, then that detonates... So if the specs I asked for are right, then I can store it in this bracer." Katsuki raised his hand to stick his finger in the pin on his gauntlet.
"BAKUGO MY BOY, STOP! YOU'LL KILL HER!" All Might's voice rang out from the speakers in the building, and Izuku felt nervous sweat drip from her forehead.
"IT WON'T KILL HER IF IT DOESNT HIT HER!" Katsuki shouted as he pulled the pin out, and the explosion that followed blew Izuku back down the hallway, and sent her rolling in the rubble. She cried out in surprise as she came to a stop, and she lifted her head, blood mixing with her sweat from the rubble that cut her cheeks and face.
"A-ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND, KACCHAN?!" She shouted back at him, pushing herself to her feet. She couldn't see him through the smoke, and she clenched her fists as she wiped some blood from her vision.
"IZUKU ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!" Uraraka's worried voice cried out in her ear and Izuku bit her lip, as she saw Katsuki step out of the smoke towards her.
"Use your quirk, Izuchan. I'm going to take you down, at your full strength! COME ON, COME AT ME!" Katsuki shouted at her, pointing his hand at her again. "What's wrong?! No more fight in you?!"
"ha..." Izuku touched her finger to her communication device in her ear. "Ochachan... what's the situation...?" She asked nervously as she took a stance again.
"YOU'VE GOT SOME FUCKING NERVE IGNORING ME, DEKU!" Katsuki screamed at her in blind rage now.
"Bakugo," All Might's voice was on the speakers again and he sounded dissapointed. "If you shoot another blast like that I will end this now, and you will loose. Launching such an attack with that much damage defeats the purpose of protecting you stronghold. It doesn't matter if you're a hero or a villain, that was just plain stupid! Do it again and you will earn demerits!"
"AAAAH, FUCK IT!" Katsuki shouted in a fit that would make a toddler proud.
"The pillar by the window... Got it..." Izuku bit her lip as she communicated with Uraraka, and was shocked as Katsuki launched himself at her with his explosions.
"LETS JUST DUKE IT OUT WITH PUNCHES THEN!" He shouted as he wound up with both his hands, and set of an explosion in her face that she defended with her arms but it didn't hurt...
"A distraction...!" She spun around as he flew over her, and was met with an explosion to her back that send her stumbling forwards, cursing in pain.
"HERE COMES YOUR BELOVED RIGHT SWING!" Katsuki shouted as he slammed her into the wall with his fist while she was distracted by her injury. She smacked into it hard, and cried out in pain again, finding no way to counter, she felt his hand grab her arm and noticed her glove was blown off. The bracelet was still there, and she looked at it as his hand brushed it causing it to jingle. Katsuki noticed it too, but that didn't stop him from swinging her around like a rag doll, and slamming her onto the ground on her back like she had done to him earlier.
She almost saw stars as she looked up at the ceiling, trying to gather her thoughts when she looked up at Katsuki who glared down at her, some of the rage from earlier gone as his eyes locked onto her bracelet on her right arm.
"The fuck is that...? You wear jewelry?" He growled out, and Izuku'z eyes widened as she flipped herself up, and made a run for it down the hall. "HEY! The fuck are you playing at?! Why won't you use your damn quirk already like earlier?! Why are you looking down on me?!" Katski chased after her, and she looked back over her shoulder as she came to a stop at a wall, and turned to face him. "You've always been looking down on me, huh?"
"Kacchan..." Izuku could see a look of pain hidden deep in his eyes among the anger.
"WELL?! Were you laughing at me all these years?! Hiding that quirk, thinking you're stronger than me?! ALWAYS LOOKING DOWN ON ME?!" Katsuki shouted at her, lunging for his attack.
"Kacchan... It's because you're so amazing... That I want to win!" Izuku shouted back at him, "I WANNA WIN AND SURPASS YOU, HOW PIG HEADED AND STUPID ARE YOU?!"
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU CALLING STUPID, STUPID?! WIPE THAT STUPID LOOK OFF YOUR GOD DAMN NERD FACE!" Katsuki screamed back at her.
They both ran at each other, and Izuku's eyes glowed a bright green as she kicked off the ground. She could hear All Might's nervous tone over the speakers, but she ignored it, never breaking eye contact with Katsuki, as she brought her fist back. It crackled with electricity and glowed a bright yellow.
"I'M HERE URARAKA!" She screamed with all her might, and Katsuki's expression flinched. It was too late to stop it now. "SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!" she shouted with all her might and punched upwards while Katsuki's hand set off an explosion to her shoulder. A look of shock crossed Katsuki's face, their noses only an inch apart.
Blood dripped down her face, mixing with the dirt and sweat as she stood there, trying to catch her breath. Their bodies were close as well, her right fist above her head pointing up to the ceiling, her left one in front of her face to block, now dripping blood and badly bruised and burnt. Katsuki's hand was inches from her damaged left arm.
"..." He looked up at the ceiling, seeing a giant hole that punched right through the roof, and rubble crumbled around them. His ears were still ringing from the combination of the explosion and sonic boom, before his eyes glanced back down, wide with shock as he looked into her emerald ones. "... Are you telling me... that from the very beginning... You were planning this...?"
"No..." Izuku lowered her punching arm. It was horribly bruised from the use of one for all she pulled out, but her bones were intact. "I didn't want to use it because I... I can't control it like you... It strains my body to use it..." she coughed from the dust that they had kicked up around them, and she gripped her wrist with her left hand. The bruising was horrible, and the burns stung sharply. "but... this was the only thing I could think of..." She looked down at her arm, and saw the bracelet fell off her wrist. "Oh no, my bracelet.." she bit her lip, as she went to pick it up, and swayed.
"Izuku...!" Katsuki caught her by the shoulder before she toppled. He was in shock from what just happened, and saw the look on her face that she was too. She was reaching her blackening fingers out toe grab the metal bracelet, but he snatched it up for her quickly, and looked at her face. "Fucking idiot, it's just a bracelet..."
"Ah, thanks Kacchan... But it means a lot to me..." She gave him a lopsided smile, before she swayed backwards as they straightened up. Her eye lids drooped, and she started falling backwards, before Katsuki reached an arm around her instinctively and caught her from hitting the ground and rubble behind her.
"HERO TEAM WIIIIIINS!" All Might's voice rang out over the speakers as Katsuki kept Izuku off the ground in her unconscious state. He lowered her down gently up against a wall, and looked at her left arm, before looking at his right hand.
"... She... read me like a book... And came up with a way to beat me..." His breathing was heavy now as his hand started shaking. "So... Even though we were fighting each other seriously... She still..." He looked down at the unconscious Izuku in front of him, in complete shock. He balled up his fist, and got up, spinning away from her to slam his knuckles into the wall behind him. He had lost...
"Bakugo... It's time for critique. No matter who won or who lost, You need to reflect." All Might was there, some medic bots with who took up Izuku, and Katsuki looked at them, stepping towards them. He felt a hand on his shoulder stopping him, and he looked up in shock. "She'll be fine, Now come on."
Katsuki looked back at the bots as they rolled out of the building, carrying her away from him. He clenched his fists tightly, and followed All Might back to receive his lecture, looking down at the bracelet in his hand.
"Ouch..." Izuku was walking down the hallway back to her classroom after visiting the infirmary for the second time in two days. She was exhausted from her battle test, but her injuries were almost entirely gone. She had a bandage on her cheek of a stubborn burn that didn't want to heal completely, and she let out a sigh as she touched her tattered costume. Her let sleeve completely gone, rips and tears, her gloves destroyed completely... "Jeez, he really didn't go easy on me, She brushed some dried blood off her arm that still felt a little sore. "Well It's late, I should get home for dinner..." she sighed out as she slid the door open, and was greeted by the boy with bright red hair and sharp teeth.
"Oh Hey Midoriya! That was a great job you did back there!" He ran up to her, and grinned. "That was a heated battle! I can't believe a tiny girl like you could do all that!
"You got us all fired up from the intense battle, you did amazing!" A big guy with large lips complimented.
"Thats our Deku-chan! She took it all like a champ!" Ashido cheered happily and Izuku smiled nervously as she was suddenly hit with an onslaught of introductions from the boys in the class.
"Deku-chan your wounds... Are you not fully healed?" Uraraka stepped up to her and looked at some of the bandages Izuku had.
"They're just burns, don't worry. I'm used to it!" Izuku smiled at her friend in hopes. "I'm just all sapped of energy from the healing! By the way, Ohcachan... Where's Kacchan...?" Izuku looked around the room for him, but her eyes couldn't spot him.
"That bully went home just a minute ago, he's been quiet since the battle." Kirishima said as he leaned on a desk near by.
"Huh...?" Izuku turned to the door, and ran towards it. "I've got to catch up with him!" She shouted out as she dashed out the door and down the hall, leaving the stunned classmates behind in the classroom.
"... Young love." Uraraka said with a sigh as she crossed her arms.
"What?! You've got to be kidding me!" Kirishima laughed, "What girl would like a guy like that?"
"... Wanna find out? Let's spy from the window!" Ashido said as she slid the glass open and the class all turned to look at her, before making a dash for a good view of the front gates.
"KACCHAN!" Izuku called out as she ran out the front door of the school, just in time to catch him near the gate. She came to a stop a few feet away to catch her breath, exhausted from the run. "K-Kacchan... I..."
"What do you want...?" Katsuki had stopped when he heard his name being called, and turned to look back at her. He had a fist clenched at his side as he watched her catch her breath.
"This... This is all I need to tell you." Izuku stood straight, and clenched her own fists. "... I obtained that power from some one else..." she bit her lip, and looked down at the ground away from him glaring eyes. "I mean... My whole life, you told me I was weak and quirkless... Everyone said it to me, even the doctor... I had no hope, no idea that I had this... this power in me..." Izuku held up her hand as it glowed a soft green. "But that punch from earlier... That was power that was given to me... I can't tell you who gave it to me, and I know it sounds like a manga..."
"What...?" Katsuki straightened up as he listened to her. She had just informed him it was his fault that she thought she was quirkless... He was the reason she never even tried to use her power, but it wasn't all hers...?
"I..." Izuku looked into his eyes as they stared back at hers, looking hurt and confused now. "... Kacchan...?"
"You're saying I'm the reason you never found and worked on your quirk?" He ground his teeth together.
"No... Not just you Kacchan..." She shook her head, as she remembered all the faces of the teacher and others kids who reinforced the thoughts in her that she had nothing. She stared at him him as he seemed to fight with that statement in his head.
"But I was part of the reason." He looked back at her, and Izuku bit her lip nervously, and looked away.
"Look... It's not much of a strength quirk... The power I relied on earlier was the power given to me, and even though I couldn't handle it... I still used it. I'm no where near as strong as you just yet... But one day I'll make that power my own, and surpass you." Izuku looked up at him, filled with determination, and went silent as she still saw that pained look in his eyes. "... Kacchan...?"
He stood there for a moment, looking at her from head to toe. How did he not see it earlier? She was toned muscle now instead of just bones, she was no longer the crying girl who was always following him... always looking only at him. He looked back up into her eyes, and saw her retting a bit at everything she just said. He let out a sigh as he walked up to her, his hand in one pocket. She looked scared for a second as he got close, and reached out to grab her right wrist.
"You beat me today," He grumbled out as if it was something foul tasting and he pulled something out of his pocket. Izuku looked up at him, not sure what he was doing, before looking back down and noticing her bracelet was gone. "That fucking Ice guy... What the fuck is he... And that bitch with the pony tail, she really fucking laid it all out there and all her words sunk in."
Katsuki was grumbling as he draped her bracelet over her wrist and clasped it shut for her, before dropping her hand from his. "But you know what?" He looked down at her, his eyes burning with some kind of emotion she couldn't pin down. His face got closer to hers, and he narrowed his eyes as he stared into her emerald ones. "From here on out, I'm going to number one, you here me?" his nose was only an inch from hers, his forehead against hers now. "And don't you fucking dare get the idea you can beat me again, got it?"
"Kacchan..." Izuku'z cheeks were burning a bright red. The bracelet, she had forgotten it got blown off in the fight, but he had picked it up for her...?
"BAAAAAAAAAAA KUUUUUUUUU GOOOOOOO MY BOY!" There was blast of wind and Bakugo felt a hand slam down on his shoulder and yank him away from Izuku's face.
All Might was standing there, a strained grin on his face as he looked down at Katsuki who looked bacj up at him, and Izuku stared in shock at the speed All Might had came in with.
"I'll tell you this once!" All Might started, he had a burning need to tell him off for getting so close to Izuku's face, but put that feeling away. "Self confidence is a very vital thing, and you definitely have talent befitting a pro! From here on out you can climb even hig-"
"Let go of me, All Might. I can't fucking walk..." Katsuki's expression turned dark as he glared up at the hero for interrupting his talk with Izuku. He pointed a finger at the hero, and a growl left his throat. "I didn't get to tell you before, but let me fix that. I'm going to surpass you too, and vault over you as top hero!"
The blonde's eyes snapped to look at Izuku was was stunned by the fact Katsuki just challenged the #1 hero.
"See you tomorrow, fucking nerd." Katsuki walked off, through the gate to head home, leaving a blushing Izuku and confused pro hero behind him.
"WHAT KIND OF CONFESSION IS THAAAAAAAAAT?!" Voices rang out over the grounds from the heroics department class window, and the question was left to float in the evening wind.
The next day, after a trying confrontation with the media that had swarmed the front gates of Yuuei, Izuku was sitting in her seat in class for home room, and the whole class had their eyes on her and Katsuki, whom was abnormally quiet. The two of them were getting lectured by Aizawa about their battle yesterday, before he finished off with a sigh and looked around at the class. "Well, lets get on with this... I'm sorry to spring it on you, but... We need to pick a class president."
"NORMAL!" A few students choked out at that, and before they knew it, the class was exploding with pleas of everyone wanting to be the class president. Izuku too wanted to give it a try, about to raise her hand before Iida shouted out over the rest, calming the class.
"This is a position of power, the person who is in charge will be the one everyone looks too when in a time of crisis. Just because you want to be the president, doesn't mean you can!" Iida was on his feet, lecturing the silent class. "Only a truly worthy leader will emerge at this rate, if we put it all to a vote!"
"But Iida-kun... Your hand is the highest." Asui croaked out.
"Listen I don't care how you decide, just decide." Aizawa was zipping up his sleeping bag.
After what felt like forever, the votes were all listed on the board, and Izuku paled.
"Th-three votes?!" Izuku choked out and looked around at everyone, "How the heck did that happen?!"
"You've gotta be fucking kidding me, who the fuck voted for Deku?!" Katsuki was shaking with anger as he saw the board, and Uraraka stood up, grinning.
"I did of course!" Uraraka said with a bright smile as she looked to her friend who seemed to be shrinking into the shadows.
"STUPID ROUND FACE!" Katsuki shouted at her, and Izuku started to fear for Uraraka's safety, and she reached her hands out as she stood up from her desk, and put them on Katsuki's head as he went to stand up and attack. The whole class room went silent as Izuku ruffled her hands into his hair as a means of trying to stop him, before his head snapped around so he could look at her with angry eyes. "The fuck... Are you DOING!?"
"AH I'M SORRY!" Izuku pulled her hands back from his head and she blushed a bright red. "I JUST... YOU SHOULDN'T ATTACK PEOPLE IN CLASS?!"
"FUCKING SIT DOWN!" Katsuki snapped at her as he stood up, and Izuku went down in her seat, shaking in fear.
"Bakugo, listen to your own advice. We need to start class." Aizawa said with anger, and Katsuki sat back down with a loud hmph, and class started.
At lunch time, Izuku was sitting with Uraraka, Iida and some other classmates at a table in the lunch cafeteria.
"I don't think I'm qualified to be president..." Izuku said with a nervous laugh as she looked down at her ramen.
"You've got guts and judgement when it counts. I voted for you because I know when there's a crunch, you'll be able to get us through." Iida said as he ate his curry meal, and Izuku looked at him, shocked.
The three of them ate their lunch happily as they were joined by others, and Izuku listened intently as Iida told them all about his family of super heroes. She was impressed, and smiled as she saw how proud her friend was of his older brother and his family.
"I think this is the first time I've seen you smile, Iida." Uraraka said with a grin and the three of them laughed happily, before a blaring siren went of, and they stood up in a panic.
"The siren...?" Izuku said with concern, as a robotic voice announced a security breach to the whole building, and requested they all evacuate.
"What's security level 3...?" Uraraka asked as they started to rush to the door.
"It means some one infiltrated the school, this hasn't happened in three years, we need to go!" a senpai shouted, and the three friends looked at each other and made a run for it.
"OW, AH! WHAT'S THIS?!" Izuku cried out as she was pushed and pulled, and slammed up against bodies as she tried to make her way out. She turned her head to look for her friends, before she was swept away by a sudden lurch in the crowd. "OCHACHAN!" Izuku cried out, losing her friends in mass panic, and she felt herself tossed around.
"OI, STUPID FUCKING DEKU, THATS HOW YOU DIE!" A voice shouted at her, and she felt a hand grip her arm and pull. "The fuck are you doing?!" Izuku looked up at the owner of the hand, seeing Katsuki had rescued her from hitting the ground.
"K-Kacchan, thanks..." Izuku smiled at him, before he slammed her up against the wall, and put a hand on each side of her shoulders. "Kacchan?!"
"Shut the fuck up, we'll die if we keep trying to move with all these extras!" He shouted as he looked out at the mass of students still trying to escape. He was shoved hard in the back, and pushed up against Izuku from it. He had her pinned to the wall as others slammed into them from all sides, and he could heard her groaning in pain against his chest.
"K-Kacchan I can't breath...!" she cried out, lifting her head to look up at a stressed out and very pissed off teen.
"SHUT UP, NEITHER CAN I!" He shouted down at her and turned his head away, his cheeks red.
"EVERYONE!" Their attention was caught as some one slammed against the wall above the door the students were swarming too. It was none other than Iida, floating and in a pose that made it look like an exit sign. "CALM DOWN, IT'S OKAY!"
His voice had silenced the whole hallway, and even though he looked ridiculous, people listened to him.
"IT'S JUST THE PRESS, THERE'S NOTHING TO PANIC ABOUT, JUST CALM DOWN AND CONDUCT YOURSELF IN AN ORDERLY ASHION!" Iida shouted out at the whole hallway, and the students all relaxed. As the students started to calmly filter away, Izuku looked around, and then up at Katsuki, who still had her pinned to the wall.
"Kacchan...?" She asked, her cheeks a burning red as she looked up at him curiously. She heard him huff, and step away from the wall.
"Are you fucking serious, just the press?!" He yelled in anger as he walked off, and Izuku watched him leave, before she went to help Uraraka get Iida down.
"... In the end, I think that Iida should be president." Izuku smiled at the class, as they got ready for afternoon classes. "He proved at lunch that he is the most capable of leading a group, he's the only one who acted calmly and got everyone to calm down."
"Yea! That's a great point, Midoriya! I wouldn't mind you, but..." Kirishima looked pumped up as he bounced in his seat.
"He reminded me of the warning signs you see on emergency exits!" Kaminari laughed out, the whole class getting in a it of laughter.
"Well... If it's alright with everyone then I accept!" Iida stood up proudly and grinned at everyone in the room.
"Alright settle down, settle down. It's time for afternoon Foundational training!" Aizawa called out to the class, and everyone took their seats. "It's decided that you will all be supervised by myself, All Might and some one else."
"Sensei, what will we be doing?!" Jirou raised her hand and waved it around.
"Hmph, You all need to be the Hero everyone needs. Flood, earth quake, tsunami... What ever it is, you need to be prepared. So we are heading out for..." Aizawa help up a flash card with the word rescue written on it. "A trial of rescue!"
The class was buzzing at the thought of what they were going to do, and Aizawa opened the shelves with their costumes on them, and looked at them all. "As I was saying... It's entirely up to you if you want to wear your costume or not, some of them are probably not adept enough for your task a hand. This training area is off campus, so hurry up and go get changed... We're going to USJ."
