Moment Four: Izuku Midoriya


Dark green eyes narrowed as they took in the way Kagome fidgeted, obviously flustered, her cheeks red as she tucked a curly piece of raven black hair behind her ear. In front of her stood Shouto, a small smile on his lips as he talked with her. His pure white tux stood out next to her deep blue dress, even he could admit the other male looked snazzy.

With quick steps he made his way over to them, a smile plastered on his face as he stopped in front of them, his own deep burgundy black striped suit clashing with Shouto's white one. "Hi Shouto, Kagome." His voice was light as he joined the conversation, his smile a bit strained as Shouto blinked at him, no doubt upset that he had joined the conversation. He, like every male in class 1-A, was infatuated with his and Kacchan's childhood friend, one Kagome Higurashi.

Even though she was in the hero support course she often came to hang out with him and Kacchan and thus she had been introduced to the rest of his class. Sadly her outgoing caring nature had gained her a lot of admires, much to his displeasure.

Kagome smiled up at him, the flush on her cheeks deepening as he leveled his gaze on her. Mentally she winced, he was upset, having known him almost all her life she could read him like a book, while he was smiling and his tone friendly she could see that small glint in his eye.

Contrary to popular belief one could not grow up with Katsuki Bakugo without picking up some of his habits and tendencies. One of which was his flair of jealousy and possessiveness when it came to her. "Ah, Deku. Sorry to keep you waiting." She moved to his side, giving Shouto an apologetic smile as she moved past him. Instantly Deku wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him.

"It's fine, how are you doing Shouto?" His smile was bright as Shouto blinked, picking up on the subtle hostility emitting from the usually cheerful and outgoing young man. He suddenly felt out of place, and vaguely heard Bakugo give a bark of laughter somewhere in the background.

"I'm doing okay, just waiting for the expo to begin. How has your I Island experience been Midoriya, Kagome?" His voice was even as he stood there, watching as Midoriya tapped his fingers on the swell of Kagome's hip as if in thought.

"It's been okay, we've been checking out a lot of the demos for the new hero tech. I think Kagome really liked the new prototypes for support heroes. Right Kagome?" Kagome smiled as she nodded, her eyes taking on a sparkling light.

"Yes! They have so much new healing tech! I really liked the new prototypes for the nano sutures! It would make rescue missions so much easier!" She flushed as she began to excitedly chatter, completely oblivious to the two tense males listening to her.

Deku could only smirk as she babbled on, a smile on her lips, as he moved closer to her, loving the way she shifted so she leaned into his side as she kept talking about all the other stuff they had seen earlier in the day. Shouto merely nodded as he gave small grunts and noises suddenly feeling very out of place as Midoriya seemed to preen at him.

Had the young man always been this...Bakugo like?
