OKAY EVERYONE! I'm back with another chapter for all of you!
Here it is, the exciting conclusion of the sports day!
Now, I know you're all upset Izuku lost, and I get it.
But down the road you'll see why.
NOW TAKE THIS AND ENJOY!
"Izuku... you're going to be alright... You have to come back from this you stupid idiot, or I'll kill you..." A soft warm feeling touched her forehead, making heat spread through her body. She felt a shaking hand on her sore skin, touching the bracelet she wore. "I'm going to beat that fucking scar off his face..."
"Her hand was completely crushed from that last attack..." Izuku could hear Recovery girl near by, and she groaned in pain as she tried to move. "I won't be able to put it back to the way it used to be... She hasn't broken it too many times, but I'll have to do surgery to extract some splinters before they heal up in her joints... Healing is going to have to wait."
She could feel some one holding her left hand and gripping it tightly. The hand felt so big and protective...
"She's pushed herself too hard. She's done very well in being able to control her quirk, but this is too over the top... She needs to learn better control over One for All before she ends up shattering her whole body before becoming the Hero you want her to be... I understand the need for her to learn quickly, but I won't allow this to happen again." Recovery girl sounded serious and upset.
"I understand..." It was All Might... He sounded so upset, and the grip on her left hand tightened.
"Deku-chan...?!" She could hear Uraraka's voice now, as well as the murmurs from her other friends. She tried opening her eyes a bit, and looked to the door, blurry visions of her friends stumbling in.
"Ah... Hey..." she managed to choke out. "What... what about the next match...? Kacchan's..."
"Izuku?" She could hear all Might, and her eyes glanced up to look at his blurry form. "How are you feeling?"
"Like... like I got kicked in the head by Iida and then blasted by Kacchan in the face before Ochachan sent my mind off to space..." Izuku closed her eyes, tired of trying to strain them.
"WAH!" All Might cried out, and she felt him grip her hand tightly.
"Wah! Uncle don't cry!" Izuku heard Uraraka cry out, and felt her stomach lurch at the thought of All Might worrying over her enough to cry.
"The stage is being fixed up right now..." She heard Asui's voice now, and groaned. "Iidachan got a phone call from his family and had to leave early as well..."
"Now now everyone, I need quiet in here! It's fine if you're all worried about her, but I need to get her preped for surgery." Recovery girl said firmly, waving her hands to shoo the students.
"SURGERY?!" Izuku could hear Uraraka cry out in horror.
"I'm... I'm so sorry..." Izuku felt tears well in her eyes, trying to escape. "I couldn't... I couldn't make it to the final round... I couldn't..." She sobbed loudly now, and let out a wail. "If only I kept my mouth shut...! If only I didn't pry! I'm so sorry everyone! I'm so sorry!"
"Deku-chan...!" Uraraka's strained voice called out to her, and Izuku opened her eyes now to look at them, her vision blurry from tears.
"Come on, out now!" recovery girl was shooing the group of girls out as they tried to go comfort their friend. "Let me do the surgery and she'll be right up for the final match!"
"He was so sad..." Izuku sobbed, and looked to the ceiling, or what she figured was the ceiling. "I couldn't... I couldn't let him keep on living like that... I couldn't... I lost sight of my goal... I'm... Please forgive me..."
"Izuku..." She heard her name again, not used to it coming from All Might. "It's an unfortunate outcome..." That hit her hard, and she sobbed again only to feel a reassuring squeeze of her hand. "And... Don't take this the wrong way... But It's one thing that couldn't be helped. Prying into some one elses business... butting your nose in... Is a Principal quality of being a hero."
Izuku choked on her tears, and held back her loudest sob of them all, before All Might was shooed out of the room for her surgery.
"SMOOOOOOOOOOOCH!" Izuku groaned as she was kissed by Recovery girl, and sat up in the bed totally exhausted from the healing. Her arm was wrapped up in bandages, but she felt much better. "You're lucky your hand was the worst of it all, dear girl."
"Thank you..." Izuku looked down at the small old woman, a strained smile on her lips.
"Remember though... What you reap is what you sow. I hope the scars on your hand are a reminder that you shouldn't abuse your body in the name of justice, and that you continue to work on controlling your quirks."
Izuku looked down at her right hand, and noticed the scars all over it from the surgery. She wiggled her fingers, and slowly gripped it into a loose fist.
"You're a hard working girl, I'm sure you'll be able to take control of your power in no time, but if habits like these continue, I won't fix you up anymore."
"Thank you," Izuku looked to the woman, and smiled at her, nodding her head in understanding. Izuku stood up, grabbing her jacket as she left the room, and looked to All Might.
"... Today... I saw everyone fighting with no holds barred..." Izuku said in a small voice as she walked with her hero down the hall. "And... I felt their unwavering determination... But." She stopped and looked up at him,"I'm glad you gave me this power... I don't question my resolve to accept it either!"
All might smiled down at her, and let out a sigh. "You know... I used to be quirkless." He said, looking off down the hall as if he was looking into the past. "It was still a rare thing back in my generation, and my master had a quirk. But nonetheless... She believed in me and raised me up to where I am today."
"You never told me that!" Izuku cried out in shock.
"You never asked, Izuku my girl." He smiled down at her, "at first... when you told me you had no quirk, I identified with you... but then, to find out you had mentally suppressed it all these years, firmly believing you had no quirk... I thought to my self you wouldn't be able to handle it... That girl I met back then hated herself... But now..." He looked at her, "You've surpassed my wildest imagination, you've become strong and developed One for All along with your strength quirk all on your own. You trained it when I wasn't looking, you showed me something I never thought I would see. You showed me that the impossible was possible, I see now... You're no longer that timid meek girl anymore... You're a strong woman, on her way to becoming the greatest hero I'll ever have the pleasure of meeting."
Izuku sobbed, and All Might was startled by that. She threw her arms around him, mindful of his side as she hugged him tightly and sobbed into the front of his suit. She could hear him let out a sigh, as he hugged her around her shoulders and patted her curly hair gently.
"There there, No need to cry." He told her, and she choked back her sobs, and looked up at him. "despite the injury from over exerting yourself... You still did splendidly, and made it to the top four. I couldn't ask for more from you, except that you work on trying not to get hurt like that again. You gave us all a fright, such a cute girl shouldn't be smiling while drenched in blood you know!"
"Thank you..." she smiled up at him, and nodded her head.
She slowly made her way up to the stands, hearing the cheers of excitement from the stadium. Loud explosions here and there... Those explosions were familiar to her, and calmed her nerves as she stepped out into the stands behind her class, looking out to the stage where she lost.
"DEKU-CHAN!" Uraraka cried out to her first, and the others turned to look up at her. "Are you okay?! How's your hand?! Come sit down, you must be tired!" Uraraka had run up the stairs to her, but stopped halfway, seeing the tears in her eyes start to form.
"... I'm sorry everyone... I talked the talk... but couldn't walk the walk..." she held back her sobs, as the girls got to their feet.
"Izuchan, why... don't be sorry...!" Yaoyorozu told her.
"Yeah! Todoroki is crazy strong, none of us could hope to ever beat him, but you stood your ground!" Ashido called out to her.
"You were the coolest one out there, deku-chan!" Asui croaked out to her.
"Yeah! You were definitely noticed! So many people were cheering your name! You were amazing!" Hagakure praised her.
"It was the manliest thing I've seen today." Kirishima was behind the girls with Kaminari as they tried to cheer her up. "You out performed all of us, there is nothing to be ashamed of."
"He's right, there was nothing uncool about that at all." Izuku was surprised to hear Shouji talk from one of his appendages. "You should be very proud."
"Everyone..." Izuku's sobs finally escaped her and Uraraka hugged her tightly from her left side. "Thank you... I don't deserve the praise..."
"Yes you do!" Sero called out from beside Kouda who was nodding his head wildly. "I couldn't even get one hit in, be proud!"
"Let's raise our princess up high!" Kirishima raised his fist in the air, and the others cheered as Izuku was lifted up by them, and she blushed a bright red now, trying to stop her tears. "Like Present Mic said, she's the princess of class 1-A, so we can't let her cry anymore!"
"YEAH!" the girls all cried out, and Izuku blushed an even brighter red through her tears, and let out a snorting laugh.
"Okay okay...!" She smiled down at them. "But don't call me that, it's embarrassing!"
"Fine fine, Deku-chan it is." Kirishima laughed loudly, and the class let her on her feet. There was a loud boom from the stage, and Izuku looked towards it, remembering Katsuki was having his match with Tokoyami. "Oh shit!"
She ran down the steps to the bar and looked down at the stage just in time to see Katsuki blowing Tokoyami onto his back and pinning him down. She gripped the steel bar with her left hand as she watched him force Tokoyami into submission.
"WINNER BAKUGO ADVANCES TO THE FINAL ROUND!" Midnight cried out to the stadium who all cheered loudly. Izuku felt a nervous sweat on her forehead, and she turned around and ran up the stairs and off into the hallway as Present Mic shouted over the stadium.
"TODOROKI AND BAKUGO WILL FACE OFF IN THE FINALS! WHAT A MATCH FOLKS, I CAN BARELY HOLD IN MY EXCITEMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENT!"
"Kacchan..." Izuku was running at top speed down the hallway, heading for the waiting rooms.
"Do you think we should tell her...?" Asui asked curiously, looking up at Uraraka who smiled down at the frog girl.
"Nah, she might pass out from a spike in blood pressure. I think she can only handle one shock at a time..." She said with a thought, and looked away.
Izuku was panting tiredly as she ran, it was coming back to her, the voice calling her name before she passed out... It was his... She pushed hard, hearing a loud bang of a door at the end of a hall around the next corner.
"Fuck..." Katsuki had kicked the door in out of anger, and stomped his way over to a seat at the table in the room. He leaned over the table, clenching his fists tightly. He was mad... That last round was a waste of his time, he wanted to hurry up and beat the shit out of that half and half bastard for causing that much damage to Izuku... her whole hand was crushed... He remembered touching it and seeing pain on her face, though she was out cold... She just lay there on that bed, utterly beaten up... "DAMNIT!" He slammed his fists onto the table in fury, and glared down at the wood. He wanted to stay there, but that stupid fucking recovery bitch made him leave... At least she would fix her... She had to fix her...
"Kacchan...?" Izuku called out softly and saw his head snap up to look at her. She blushed a bit, seeing the look of surprise on his face. "Uhm... Congrats on getting to the final round... I'm sorry I missed your matches..." She was staring at the floor, gripping the door frame with her left hand. "But you did great, I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the final..."
"What...?" He growled out, and she heard the chair scrape, and she looked up as she saw Katsuki standing there, glaring at her.
"Uhm, I know your mad... Kacchan...?" her eyes widened as he walked towards her, and pulled her inside, before slamming the door shut. She began to get nervous, being trapped in a room with an angry Kacchan. "C-Come on, I just got out of surgery, please don't hit me!" she told him, holding her hands up as she backed away from him nervously.
He turned his head to glare at her again, as he stepped towards her slowly, his fists clenched. She felt her cheeks heat up, and the wall behind her, stopping her escape. "C-Common Kacchan... you're scaring me..."
"I am?" He growled out, and slammed a hand on the wall beside her head, making her jump a bit. "I'm scaring you?" He asked, anger burning in his eyes. She wasn't serious was she? She had scared him by collapsing like that, by laying on that hospital bed all broken. "Good." He told her, staring into her big emerald eyes. "Let me see it..."
"What...?" She looked up at him, confused. She lifted her right hand to look at it, and his free hand took her fingers in his, and with a gentleness she never knew from him, he lifted it to get a good look at her hand, seeing all the scars that marred her skin. He clenched his hand on the wall into a fist tightly, and gripped her fingers with his. "K-Kacchan..."
"I'm going to beat him." He growled out, and looked into her eyes with his own ruby ones, "And you're going to watch every last fucking moment, do you hear me?! I want you to see me take him down! I'm going to be number one!" He shouted, leaning in close to her. His forehead pressed against hers, and Izuku's cheeks burned a bright red. "So watch me, and only me. Do you hear me?!"
"Y-yes..." she said, her throat dry as she looked into his eyes. She felt him grip her fingers gently again, before the loud buzzer blared in the room signalling the start of the match.
Katsuki tore himself away from her, and swiftly walked to the door. He stopped, and glared back at her. "Get your fucking ass to the stands then!"
"O-Okay!" she shouted, jumping as he left the room with out another word. She hurried up to the stands where the class was, her cheeks still burning like they were on fire. When she got back, she sat down next to Uraraka and Kirishima in the stands, both looking at her like she grew a second head.
"You okay?" Kirishima asked curiously, and Izuku just nodded her head wildly. "Are you sure? Your face is redder than my hair you know."
"I'm sure!" She shouted, clapping her hands on her cheeks again, before looking down at the stage. She wasn't sure if her heart could take much more of Katsuki's wild mood swings anymore.
"ARE YOU READY FOLKS?! THIS IS IT! THE FINAL MATCH!"
The whole crowd screamed loudly, cheering with all their might.
"FROM ENTRANCE 1, WE HAVE THE MAN WITH THE PLAN, THE DUDE WITH THE 'TUDE, THE GUY WHO ALMOST BLEW US SKY HIGH, TODOROKI SHOUTOOOOO!" Present mic screamed out, and the crowd went wild, as Todoroki stepped out onto the stage with a new uniform on.
"FROM ENTRANCE 2, THE GUY WITH MORE BANG THAN A FIREWORK SHOW IN AUGUST, THE ONE WHO LIGHTS A FIRE IN OUR HEARTS, BAKUGO KATSUKIIIIIIIII!" He called out and Katsuki stepped up onto the stage, a dark look on his features as he glared at his opponent.
"Deku-chan..." Uraraka saw the girl watching with her full attention as the boys stared each other down. She could see her gripping her shorts with her left hand tightly, and holding her right to her chest. "Are you okay...?"
"I'm fine... Just nervous." Izuku looked to her, and smiled. "I just... I don't know why but I want him to win... I'm sorry."
"Don't be." Uraraka smiled at her, and took her friends hand in hers. Izuku griped it tightly, and looked back down at the stage.
"BATTLE... START!" Midnight shouted over the stadium.
With a loud bang, the temperature in the stadium plummeted 30 degrees this time as the ice shot out over the stadium, and Izuku gripped Uraraka's hand tightly as she saw the other half of the stadium was threatened by the pointy ice.
"Kacchan..." Izuku paled. She couldn't see him, he had to be deep in the ice. "KACCHAN!"
A loud boom came from the ice, and it shattered everywhere as a fiery blast made an exit from the shell of ice, and Katsuki was there, a dark look on his face as he launched himself out of the would-be-prison. He flew right over Todoroki, murder in his eyes as he grabbed him by the head and shoulder, "Don't you dare..." He jerked Todoroki into the air, throwing him with all his might towards the other end of the stage. "LOOK DOWN ON ME, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!"
Todoroki glared back at Katsuki as he used his ice to catch himself, and glide in a curve back towards his opponent. The two of them clashed, a loud explosion directed at Todoroki's face.
"I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU!" Katsuki shouted at him in anger, "I'M GOING TO WIN THIS!" He growled as he attacked again, but Todoroki used his ice to push Katsuki back.
"Hah... Is this about Midoriya...?" Todoroki asked curiously, as he watched Katsuki smash the ice with his explosions.
"You're fucking right it is..." Katsuki glared down at Todoroki, "But that's only a small part of my conviction to beat you!" He shouted back, and launched himself at Todoroki, his hands exploding as he brought them down on him, but Todoroki used his ice to escape the blow quickly.
"He went right for the left side..." Izuku said with an impressed gasp, as she leaned forwards, gripping the railing in front of her with her scarred hand.
"He really goes for ones weakness..." Kirishima said with a thought.
"Now how long are you going to keep fucking around?!" Katsuki shouted at Todoroki in a rage, and his palms crackled with explosions. "Come at me with that power you used on her! I want an overwhelming victory over you! Fight me with your full power!"
"you're fucking nuts..." Todoroki said with a glare, the frost building up on his right side.
"You're a fucking tool! You burned her so many times, and you won't even use it on anyone else?! How dare you give up your will to fight after scarring her!" Katsuki launched himself in the air with his quirk, and glared murderously down at Todoroki as he went in for his attack.
"He's loosing it..." Izuku said nervously as she gripped the bar harder with her hand, and groaned in pain, pulling her hand back. "Why's he so angry? I can't hear him for once!"
"He's upset about your hand, and Todoroki's loss of will..." Shouji said from behind them all, and Izuku looked back at him. "Though I think that's just a small part of it, personally."
"Yeah, as a man, you want to win against someone at their full strength, not against some one half assing it... You should know that yourself, Deku-chan." Kirirshima looked over at her, and she blushed, and looked back at the battle.
"COME ON!" Kirishima shouted, standing up on his feet now, his fist in the air. "FUCKING GIVE IT YOUR ALL!" He cried out, and Uraraka stood up as well.
"YEAH! FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!" She screamed down at the stage.
Todoroki glanced back at the stands to see everyone shouting, and he escaped Katsuki's attack once more with his ice. He looked conflicted as he slid away from Katsuki quickly, and Izuku could see it on his face...
"D... DO IT! FIGHT WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!" She shouted down, standing with the others now. "BOTH OF YOU! FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR POWER!"
The class was surprised as Todoroki's flames roared to life on his face, and Katsuki was grinning madly, as he launched himself into the air again, and dove in for another attack. The whole class was yelling down at the arena, as Katsuki attacked, spinning in the air , before he let loose his ultimate attack.
"SCHNEIDER BOMB!" He screamed out down at Todoroki, setting off an explosion the likes of which Izuku had never seen before. The whole attack was like an exploding tornado of fire, but something was wrong... Todoroki's flames went out at the last second... and the fire went out.
A large cloud of smoke and rubble obscured their vision of the stage, and people where whouting, wondering what had happened to the boys. Izuku as clenching her fists tightly as she looked around worriedly, unable to spot either of them herself. "Wh-what happened... where are they...?"
"Th-there..." Kaminari pointed a finger at the wall of the arena, and it had crumbled to rubble, Todoroki laying among the rocks.
"Oh my god..." Izuku's eyes went wide in shock, and she looked back to Katsuki who was still standing, and glaring over at Todoroki.
"Hey... Are you fucking kidding me?!" He ran off the stage to the rubble, a look of fury on his face. He reached out and grabbed Todoroki by the front of his jacket, pure rage in his voice as he lifted him out of the rubble, though he was unconscious. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!" He shouted, and went to continue on, before Midnight interfered and he went down like a sack of potatoes.
"Todoroki is out of bounds... Bakugo wins!" She shouted, raising her hand high up in the air, and Izuku almost passed out from holding her breath as she fell back in her seat.
"What... What happened...?" She asked, confused. Todoroki had lost...? After all that power he showed to the world and her... he didn't even bother trying to use it against Katsuki...? She didn't understand... It made no sense.
"... Bakugo going to be fucking pissed when he wakes up..." Kirishima commented, and Izuku looked up at him. "... I would be too if I saw your match and then only got that much of a fight... make's a guy feel unworthy, you know?"
"I agree, I'd be pissed off too." Ashido said with her arms crossed.
"WH-WHAT A SHOW!" Present mic shouted out to the crowd with vigour as the crowd cheered. "COULD WE HAVE THE TOP FOUR CONTESTANTS PLEASE MEET IN THE WAITING ROOM, AND ALL THE STUDENTS GATHER IN WHAT'S LEFT OF THE ARENA!"
"That's us..." Tokoyami stood up behind Izuku, and turned to look at her. "Let's go," he said with a nod, and Izuku stood up, and followed him down to the waiting room while the others went out to the arena.
"Well... While Recovery girl is waking up those other two, We'd like you two to take the stage for third place as we present the medals." Midnight beamed at both Tokoyami and Izuku brightly.
Izuku and Tokoyami both agreed, before they heard a loud explosion down the hall, and looked at the door, before back at Midnight who had a strained smile on her face as people shouted in panic.
"Don't worry about that, He probably just woke up!" Midnight laughed happily, and Izuku paled, knowing how pissed off Katsuki must be right now.
Fireworks were set off around the stadium, while Izuku and Tokoyami stood on their podium. Izuku refused to look over at the display on her right, which was a chained up and raging Katsuki, the one she always knew who was still trying to get at Todoroki to kill him.
"He's a demon, Midoriya... I don't know what you see in him." Tokoyami kept his voice to a whisper, his arms crossed as he too refused to look.
"H-He's a really good guy... Honest... It's just... he has a bad temper..." Izuku said with a nervous sweat and Tokoyami let out a sigh.
"Now then! Let's start the award ceremony!" Midnight said happily as she stepped up onto the stage the podiums were on.
"TIME TO CONFER THE MEDALS! AND WHO YOU ASK IS PRESENTING THEM?!" She squealed loudly,
"IT IS I! AND I'M HERE WITH-"
"OUR HERO, ALL MIGHT!" Midnight called loudly, drowning out All Might's entrance who looked a bit unnerved by that.
"Congratulations, Tokoyami, you were one tough cookie out there!" All Might smiled down at the boy with the head of a bird. All Might gave him some words of advice as he put the medal around Tokoyami's neck, and gave him a hug. He turned to look down at Izuku, and beamed at her with a bright grin.
"And you too, Midoriya. A splendid effort." He hung the medal around her neck. "You will go far in this job, just don't push yourself!"
"A-All Might..." Izuku looked up at him, and he gave her a gentle hug, squeezing ever so slightly. "Th-thank you!"
Izuku looked over at Tokoyami, and smiled warmly as she held up her medal. "Good job, fellow third place!"
"It's an honor to stand here with you." Tokoyami said with a nod, as All Might moved on to present Todoroki with his medal and a hug, as well as some advice Izuku happened to catch.
"I have a feeling I understand why you held back... why he's been weighing on your mind." All Might had his fists on his hips.
"I have some stuff to work on... some things I need to come to terms with..." Todoroki said in a low voice.
"I won't pry, but I know you will come to a reckoning with out a doubt." Izuku watched as Todoroki got a second hug from all might, and felt a bit jealous for a second.
"And now! Bakugo, my boy!" All Might approached Katsuki who was still loosing his mind. Izuku looked up at him, and had to hold back a laugh as she saw what he was chained up with. All Might laughed as he took the bite mask off, and the whole stadium paled, not sure if that was a good idea. "Your foreshadowing was exemplary!"
"HAAAAAH?! THIS ISN'T A WIN, THIS NUMBER ONE MEANS NOTHING! I DON'T WANT THIS!" Katsuki shouted at All Might, and Izuku had to look away and cover her laugh with her mouth at the face Katsuki was making. She hadn't seen that one in a long time...
"Ssh, don't laugh..." Tokoyami said in a whisper, but she saw him trembling as well, trying not to laugh.
"Well, you'll never top being appraised by society, and there aren't many who'd form an absolute impression of you out there. So take this, and bear it! Bear it as a wound if you must, so that you won't forget!" All Might held up the gold medal, trying to put it on Katsuki's neck.
"I TOLD YOU I DON'T FUCKING WANT IT! GET IT OUT OF MY FACE!" He shouted, before All Might forced it into his mouth.
"AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! THIS YEAR THE TOP FOUR, HOW EVER, THERE IS ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY FOR EVERYONE IN THIS ARENA, TO STAND HERE! THE NEXT GENERATION OF HEROES WILL SURELY SPROUT FROM THESE SEEDS PLANTED TODAY! AND TO THAT, I WILL ADD ONE MORE THING! EVERYONE SAY IT WITH ME NOW!"
"GREAT WORK!" He shouted over top of screams from the crowd yelling out Plus Ultra.
After the event's, the class went back to their home room, and Izuku sat in her desk, staring at the back of a still angry Katsuki.
"Well now, after today I think you all earned a break." Aizawa said with a sigh, "So tomorrow you will have the day off. Be sure to get some rest, and when you get back. I'll present you with the nominations from the Pros."
The class all started to filter out of the class room, and Uraraka looked over at Izuku with a smile, but Izuku waved a hand at her, and pointed at the very angry Katsuki. Uraraka gave her a nod, and headed out the door, leaving only the two of them in the class room.
"Kacchan... It's time to go." Izuku stood up, and put a hand on his shoulder. His head snapped to look at her, glaring, but Izuku could see hurt and pain deep in his eyes. She gripped his shoulder lightly, and looked at the medal he had laying on his desk. "... You know, you did a great job out there today."
"It means nothing," Katsuki said, crossing his arms in anger. "That whole fucking thing, is garbage. This thing is garbage." Katsuki said as he stood up, and grabbed the medal off the desk.
"I dunno, I kinda like mine. Proves I did something worth doing, you know?" Izuku looked up at him with a smile, touching her own medal on her chest for 3rd place. "I worked hard for it, and you worked hard for yours."
"... Idiot." Katsuki looked away from her, glaring at a spot on the floor. "What ever, you can have this then." He shoved the first place medal in her hands, and headed for the door. "I don't want it."
"Then... I'll hold onto it for you." Izuku said with a small laugh, as she followed after him out the door, and down the hallway. "So what are you going to do tomorrow?" She asked curiously as she walked beside him down the hallway, and out of the school.
"I don't fucking know," He growled out as they walked, and She sighed. "Why? You wanna go on a fucking date or something?"
"Wh-what?!" She looked up at him in shock, but he was looking directly ahead. "N-No! Why would I want that?!"
"LIKE I FUCKING KNOW?!" He shouted, and looked down at her. "WHY?! WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO?!"
"I don't know... probably go to the arcade or something..." Izuku said with a thought, and shrugged. "maybe look at games, Not sure."
"Going out wouldn't be such a good idea, fucking moron! We were on TV, so people will fucking recognize you and swarm you or some shit!" he growled out.
"Oh, I wanted to get that new game.." Izuku said with a sigh, "Go Hero Go! I heard it's got new heroes in it!"
"If that's all you fucking want, I'll lend it to you, fucking idiot." He snapped at her, and Izuku looked up at him curiously. "Just come get it tomorrow, I'm fucking tired."
"U-Uhm... Alright?" She said with a confused tone.
"Seven times!" Inko exclaimed as she held up her hands. "I fainted seven times while watching! You're going to give me a heart attack one of these days!" She said with a worried look on her face. "The last two times I almost had sever dehydration!"
"Mom, I told you not to watch, I knew you'd get worried." Izuku said with a sigh as she used her left hand to try and eat, her right one still sore. It was early morning on their day off, and she was still tired from the day before.
"I'm your mother, I'm allowed to be worried." She said with a sigh, "Ever since you discovered your power, you've been getting injured... And now your hand! I'll keep cheering you on, but my mind isn't at ease..."
Izuku looked up at her mother over the breakfast they shared together, and let out a small sigh. Her mother was still telling her stories about her fretting and worrying over her performance at the sports festival. Izuku tried to explain it wasn't as bad as she thought, but gave up after the 4th time her mother cried her eyes out.
"So what did you have planned for today? Are all your friends going to come over again?" Inko asked brightly, and Izuku shook her head.
"Nah, Ochachan's parents are in town, and everyone else is resting at home. There was a lot of publicity from the event, so I'm just going to go borrow a game from Kacchan." Izuku sighed as her rice fell off her fork for a fourth time.
"K-K-Kacchan...?" Inko asked, remembering the horrifying appearance the boy had from the sports festival. "Are you sure that's wise?!"
"It's fine, mom. He's actually been pretty nice lately." Izuku said with a bright smile as she gave up on her breakfast. "I'm gunna change and go."
Izuku got up from the table, and went to her bedroom to braid her hair. She grabbed a pair of light blue shorts that were a bit poofy, and plain t-shirt with a cartoon All Might on it. She pulled on a pair of knee high socks, before running out the door in her red hightops,.
She walked over the couple of streets to Katsuki's house, and when she arrived she walked up to the door, about to knock when she heard shouting.
"DIE YOU FUCKERS!" She heard the muffled words leak from the window up stairs of the house, and Izuku paled a bit at what he could be possibly yelling at.
"DON'T WAKE UP LATE AND START YELLING, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!" Izuku was startled a bit at the voice of Katsuki's mother, Mitsuki.
"Haa..." Izuku let out a sigh as she rang the bell and could hear it from outside.
"HEY MORON, GET THE DOOR!" Mitsuki shouted once again, and Izuku sweated nervously.
"FUCK YOU, YOU GET IT!" Katsuki's voice shouted back, before it became a yelling match of swears and telling people to shove it. Izuku heard foot steps on the other side of the door, and a kindly looking man looked down at her as he opened the door, smiling as he held his brief case. It was Katsuki's father Masaru.
"Ah, Izuku! Long time no see, great job yesterday." He said with a thumbs up to her, and Izuku smiled and thanked him. "Why are you here? Katsuki just woke up and is brushing his teeth."
So that's what he was yelling at... Izuku thought to her self with a small laugh. "I'm here to see him, he said he'd let me borrow a game."
"Ah, well then go right in. I'm heading to work, have a good one!" Katsuki's father took off and Izuku smiled after him, almost wishing she had gone with him instead of entering the house. She took off her shoes, and stepped down the familiar hallway.
"Who is it...?" Mitsuki turned from the sink in the kitchen to look at Izuku as she entered the room. "IZUCHAN!" She shouted happily, and Izuku smiled brightly at the older woman. "It's been too long! What ever the kid did, I'll kick him out of the house if you wanna come live with us!" The woman beamed brightly. "What brings you here? It can't be my idiot son..."
"Mind your own buisness, old hag!" Katsuki shouted as he entered the kitchen, and looked to Izuku. He was wearing a baggy t-shirt and jeans.
"Don't call me old hag, you idiot son!" Mitsuki shouted back at Katsuki and they both glared at each other from across the room.
"She's here to fucking borrow a video game," Katsuki growled out at his mother, and grabbed a bottle of tea from the fridge. "So mind your own business and leave us alone!"
"How am I supposed to get grandchildren if my son has an attitude like that?!" Mitsuki shouted at him, and Katsuki ignored her as he left the room. Izuku paled a bit, figuring he wanted her to follow him, so she did after excusing herself from the kitchen.
"Kacchan you shouldn't be so harsh to Mitsuki-san..." Izuku said as she followed him up the stairs in the hallway.
"I'm not," Katsuki looked back at her with a raised eyebrow. "Thats how shit always is."
Izuku let out a sigh as she followed him to his room, remembering the house fondly from when they were in preschool. She wondered how much his room had changed from back then, remembering all the action figures he owned and how messy it used to be.
When he opened the door with a bang, she followed him inside and looked around with surprise. Everything was pretty ordinary, a set of weights in one corner, a decent sized TV and game system, and a bed that wasn't made. She looked around with a smile, and then looked back at him.
"So clean, unlike last time I was here." She said with a small laugh, and he shot a glare at her.
"I was 5 back then, of course it's clean, idiot." He told her, and turned his game box on to open up the disc drive.
"If you're still playing it, I don't need to borrow it..." Izuku said nervously as he grabbed the case off his bookshelf full of games. "I-I could just borrow a different one..."
"I'm bored with it, just take the stupid game." He told her, shoving it into her hands. She looked up at him as he stood close to her, and she blushed a bit, remembering the moment they had in the waiting room for the battle yesterday. She turned her head away from him, sweating nervously.
"Hows your stupid hand?" She heard him ask, and she looked down at her hand which she had bandaged up to help with the swelling.
"It's alright, I'll see recovery girl tomorrow for the final healing touch-ups." Izuku smiled nervously as she lifted her hand up to show him. She clenched her hand into a fist, but let out a groan of pain. "Ah... Still hurts..."
"Idiot, how are you going to play video games with a hand like that?" Katsuki said with a growl of annoyance in his voice. She looked up into his eyes as he looked down at her, when had he gotten so tall...?
"It's fine, it's fine!" She said with a wave of her hand as if to brush off the subject. "Stop worrying so much, really..."
"I'm not fucking worried!" He snapped at her, and she jumped a bit, and looked away from him out of habit. Her eyes got the glimpse of metallic blue red and yellow paint on a bracelet on his dresser. She blinked as she looked at it, and blushed a bit as she realized what it was. She turned her head to look up at him to ask about it, but felt her whole being vibrate.
"The fuck are you doing?" Katsuki stepped away from her as she scrambled around to grab something out of her pocket. "What's wrong with you?!"
"I-It's my phone! My phone!" She said with a wave of her hand, and pulled out the smart device. She looked at the screen, seeing Kirishima's name on it and she was confused before she answered the phone call. "Kirishima?"
"HEEEY DEKU! I thought I'd give you a shout today, and see if you wanted to celebrate after the sports festival!" Izuku was surprised by the enthusiasm from the boy on the other end of the phone. "So you should come out and play! I'll come get you from your place!"
"Ah, I'm not at home, I'm at Kacchans." Izuku told him, and looked up at Katsuki who looked pissed off more than usual.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Izuku was surprised by the sound of more than one voice yelling in her ear and she held her phone out away from her head. "What are you doing at that guys place?! Where does he live?! We'll be right over!"
"HAAAH?" Katsuki snatched the phone from her hand and held it to his face. "LIKE I'D FUCKING LET YOU COME OVER, MORON! FUCK OFF!"
"Aaaw! Well then come on man, hurry over to the shopping district with Deku! Let's hang out and play around on our day off!" Izuku could hear Kirishima still even though Katsuki had her phone, and she watched him growl at it. "You can't have her all too yourself! Come on dude!"
"WHOSE FUCKING KEEPING ANYONE TOO THEMSELVES?!" Katsuki shouted into the phone, and Izuku sighed as she took her phone back from him.
"You're going to break my phone by yelling at it so much," She said with a frown, before holding the phone to her ear. "I'll be right there, where should we meet?"
"At the burger joint! Be here in 20 min with that guy!" Kirishima told her, and she could almost hear the grin on his face. Izuku hung up, and looked up at a fuming Katsuki.
"Well?" She asked him curiously and he let out a frustrated growl, and turned from her. "Kacchan, they're our classmates, so let's go spend time with them. We're all friends, right?"
"Who fucking needs those Idiot's for friends." He grumbled out as he sat on his bed and pulled socks onto his feet. "Fucking pieces of shit." He stood back up and grabbed his wallet and baseball hat and pulled it onto his head and stormed out of the room. "They're all fucking stupid."
Izuku followed him out of the room and down the stairs. He went right to the front door.
"Hey! Where are you going, moron?!" Mitsuki shouted from the living room. She stepped into the hallway to look at them both "Why are you leaving so quickly, Izuchan? I wanted to have a chat with you!"
"We're fucking going to meet more idiots, you old hag! Shut up and leave us alone!" Katsuki shouted as his mom as he pulled his shoes on and swung the door open. "Hurry up or I'll leave you behind!" He shouted at Izuku and walked out side.
"Ha, thanks for having me, Mitsuki-san!" Izuku smiled at the older woman as she set the game down on a near by table and pulled her shoes on.
"Any time, Izuchan! Forget about that stupid idiot and come over for tea some time!" Mitsuki said with a grin before Izuku bowed to her, and left the house, closing the door gently behind her. Mitsuki let out a sigh and shook her head. "That girl is too good for that idiot."
"Kacchan, wait up!" Izuku ran to catch up with him as they headed for the shopping district which was a short walk away from their houses.
"Idiot, be faster!" He shouted back at her, and the two of them walked in silence together after that, until they arrived at the crowded shopping district. Izuku pointed at the burger place Kirishima told them to meet him at, and she lead the way through the crowd with a grumbling Katsuki behind her.
"There you are! I was about to send out a search party!" Kirishima said with a grin from a table that Jirou, Ashido and Kaminari were all sitting at. The girls waved happily at Izuku, and greeted her with hug as she approached. "Except you've brought a storm with you, Deku. What were you doing with that guy at his house?"
"Hmm," Izuku looked behind her to see a grumpy Katsuki. She let out a nervous laugh, and sat down next to Kirishima. "I was borrowing a game," She said with a smile, then realization hit her. "Ah! I forgot it!"
"Fucking Moron." Katsuki sat down in a chair beside her, and looked at her. "You'd forget your head if it wasn't attached!"
"Haa," Izuku let out a sigh, before turning to the rest of the group who were all giving them knowing looks. "U-Uhm... So what did you guys want to do today?"
"We wanted to get something to eat, maybe go to the arcade or the amusement park near by!" Ashido said with a big grin. "What do you think?"
"Amusement park?" Izuku asked curiously, thinking about that. "I've never been to the amusement park, so I'm not sure whats the better choice."
"WHAAAT?!" The girls exclaimed with Kirishima, and Kaminari let out a sigh.
"Then let's go there!" Jriou said with her fist clenched.
"Ochacochan will be upset if we go with out her, let's do that another time." Ashido said with a smile to Jirou, who looked a her with realization in her eyes, and nodded her head.
"You're right, can't go with out her. Then the arcade it is!" Jirou looked to Kaminari with a challenging look in her eyes. "I'm gunna beat this guy in HERO-PUNCH."
"Bring it on!" Kaminari said loudly, and held up his fist.
The group left the shop after the others finished eating their lunch, and headed to the nearby arcade. Izuku looked around at all the games, and grabbed at her pocket for her wallet, before realizing she had left it at home.
"Oh," She sweated nervously as the others bought their game cars from the machine. Ashido looked over at her though, and frowned.
"What's wrong?" She asked, and Izuku let out a nervous laugh.
"It's nothing! I just left my wallet at home is all, I didn't expect to come out today," Izuku laughed nervously.
"I'll buy you a game car then, since I'm the one who asked you to come out!" Kirishima said with a bright grin at her, and Izuku blushed a bit.
"N-no no! That's alright! I'll just watch!" she said, waving her hands back and forth nervously.
"Tch..." Katsuki was at the machine and Kaminari looked over at him with Jirou to see he had bought two cards. "Fuck, here." He shoved one of them into Izuku's hands, who looked confused. "Fucking hit the wrong button, fucking idiots need to fucking fix the machine." He said before stomping off to go play a fighting game.
"Hoooo..." Jirou said in realization, and elbowed Kaminari in the ribs, as Izuku stuttered in confusion before being directed off by Kirishima and Ashido to find some shooting games to play. "Did you see that?"
"Yeah, the idiot hit the wrong button and blamed it on some one else." Kaminari said with a laugh and Jirou sighed.
"No, idiot. He bought her one on purpose." She hissed to him, and the electric quirk user looked down at her in confusion. "He's shy~"
"What? That's stupid!" Kaminari told her, and she elbowed him again, before going to find her own game to play.
Izuku was busy shooting at zombies with Ashido, when the pink girl spoke up.
"Hows your hand?" She asked with a bright smile, and Izuku laughed a bit.
"It's good, everyone shouldn't worry about it so much." The smaller girl said brightly, and grinned up at her. She turned her attention back to the game, when she noticed some boys she didn't know standing near them and staring at them. "Uhm..." Izuku started to get nervous, and Ashido looked over to see what she was worried about.
"Hey hey, I was right, it's that girl who made it to the top four in the Yuuei sports fest!" One pain boy said to a guy who had horns. "Hey, you're Midoriya Izuku right?! That was awesome!"
"UH...!" Izuku backed up from the boys who got close to her, and she blushed a bit, looking away from them as they praised her. Ashido put her hands on her shoulders and looked too the boys.
"Hey hey, are you shy?" One boy asked her, and she looked at him nervously. "Wow! What an opposite personality from when your fighting! You looked real cool covered in blood and doing your best! But this cute look is way better!"
"Hey, back up!" Ashido told the boys as they got crowded, and Izuku was trying to do anything else but look at them, hiding her face behind her hands as the boys fawned over her. "Where's Kirishima and the others?!" She asked, looking around for others they came with.
"Hey can I shake your hand?!" One boy asked her, and grabbed at her injured hand and started to shake it wildly. "Wow! I'm already such a big fan of you now! So cool!"
"O-Ow..." Izuku groaned out as the boy squeezed her hand a little to hard, before a hand shot out from the crowd and grabbed at the boys arm.
"Hey?! What are you-?!" The boy cut himself off as he looked up at a very angry and pissed off Katsuki. "Dude... Y-you're the guy... who won..." He said, pointing shakey finger at Katsuki.
"Let go of her, or I'll blow your arm off." Katsuki said in a threatening tone to the boy who released Izuku's hand, and the small girl drew back away from the boys who crowded her. Katsuki used his free hand to push her behind him. "Now get lost!"
"A-are you dating...?" another boy asked nervously as they all got the murderous stare down from Katsuki.
"I SAID GET LOST!" Katsuki snapped at all of them, and the crowd all scattered and took off out of the arcade. Katsuki growled out in annoyance, and looked down at Izuku who was still shaking from her nervousness. He grunted, and took his hat off his head, and pulled it down onto hers. "FUCKING IDIOT. WEAR THAT AND DON'T TAKE IT OFF!" He shouted at her, and Izuku blushed a bright red, as Ashido looked down at her, a stunned expression on her face.
"Ah..." She seemed to clue in now herself, and nodded her head.
"Hey hey! I saw the commotion, you girls okay?" Kirishima was walking over, drinking a soda he bought. He had 2 more in his hands for Ashido and Katsuki and handed them over to them. He looked down at a nervous looking Izuku, and frowned. "Hey hey, have a drink, you'll feel better." He then realized he had no more drinks, and laughed. "Shit I forgot to get you one! Here, take mine." He said, holding out his drink to her. Izuku looked up at him, and laughed a bit herself. She reached to take the drink, but Katsuki shoved his in her hand instead, and growled at Kirishima.
"I hate this fucking flavor. I'm going to get a new drink!" He cursed and the other three watched him storm off, before Kirishima grinned.
"Ah, I thought he liked Coke? He drinks it all the time." He said, then looked down at Izuku as she took a sip of the soda from the straw. "Ah, I see... Indirect kiss!" He pointed his finger at Izuku, who looked up at him, and blushed a bright red as the boy pointed that out.
"WH-WH-WHAT?!" She asked, and held the drink out in confusion and slight horror.
The group played till their game cards ran out, before heading home for the evening. Izuku walked beside Katsuki on their way back to their homes, and she was still thinking about the soda earlier.
"I'll bring the stupid game to school tomorrow for you." Katsuki grumbled out, and they continued to walk as the sun started to set turning the sky orange. "But you better not fucking leave it at school."
"I won't..." Izuku said in a small voice, and looked up at him. She had her fingers laced together in front of her, and she looked away from him again, blushing a bright red. "Th-thanks for earlier..." She said shyly, referring to the boys from the arcade.
"You're fucking welcome," Katsuki told her, and she smiled a bit at the normal response from him. "But you better wait for me in the morning, you think that shit was bad? The ride to school on the train will be way fucking worse." He told her in annoyance.
"Ah, I guess you're right." she said with a thought, and bit her lip. "Alright, I'll wait."
"Good, and don't be fucking late either!" Katsuki told her as they came to a stop at her apartment building. She looked up at it, then a Katsuki to see him walking away from her back to his home. She blushed a bit, realizing he went out of his way a bit to walk her home, before she went up stairs to her apartment, and went to her bedroom. She let out a sigh as she flopped onto her bed, resting her chin on her pillow as she thought about earlier, before she touched her head in realization, and pulled the baseball cap off her head.
"Ha..." she smiled at it warmly, and stuck it on one of her All Might plushies head, before getting off her bed to go eat dinner.
