"You all look super manly!" Tokoyami heard his friend shout. "Seriously, we need to compare workout regimen or something. We'll make this the manliest class of heroes in the world!" At this point, Kirishima has said that for so long that the words had lost all it's meaning to him.
"Honest question." Sero spoke up. "Does anyone know which side of the beach we're meeting at?"
"The pier where couples like to kiss and make weird moaning noises." Iruma spoke absentmindedly. It was a miracle this kid hasn't been scarred for life given his innocence. "They're constantly leaving their clothes behind too for some reason. That's just wasteful."
"You do know they were just-" Kaminari grabbed Mineta before he could finish.
"Dude, you'll thank me later. Come on, the girls are up ahead." Sure enough, the girls are meeting them, with Tsu wearing the most modest suit, as one should when perverts are around. "Hey guys, we made it!" Kaminari waved to them, mainly to Yaoyoruzo, at least having the decency to only look at the girl he was dating.
"Yes, I'm happy you made it without a problem Denki." The girl took the boy's attention in stride. "You look great. Have you been working out?" Revelry in the Dark, the flirting was going to kill him at this rate.
"Dunce face and Grape pint are the only ones not working out." Bakugo bluntly stated, before turning curiously. "And maybe sparkles."
"And ruin this fabulous slim figure? You wound me so." He was patted by Shoji. Two men who understood the horror this man brought forth in full.
"So what do we do?" Iruma looked around. "I don't see a lifeguard stand or trash to clean up …"
"Uh, we're here to have fun, Iruma-kun." Hagakure clarified to the naive boy, wearing a white two piece, most likely to show off the 'visible' parts of herself to Iruma. "You know, sandcastles, swimming in the ocean, sunbathing, volleyball…"
"Is that what beaches are for? I just thought it was just a place to keep spare scrap metal and appliances."
"Okay, first order of business!" Uraraka grabbed Iruma. "Fun in the ocean, let's play in the waves!" She shouted, dragging him away.
"I thought the expression was fun in the sun?" Jiro asked with a raised eyebrow.
"She's probably looking for an excuse to get them both drenched." Ashido giggled. "With muscles like that on him, you can hardly blame her…"
"Oh no, my clothes are starting to slip.." Hagakure began losing her top, making her way towards the two. "Hope it doesn't fall off in the water…"
"I mean, what would be the point, there's no ni-" Kaminari once again put a hand on the boy's mouth.
"You'll thank me later." Revelry in the dark.
Ochako floated in the water, watching Iruma look around nervously. "No sharks so far … no jellyfish … no swordfish …" He was waaay too on edge right now.
"Iruma, not everything wants to kill you. The reason so many people can be at this beach is because people make sure it's safe … also animals get scared the more people there are around."
Out of the corner of their vision Koda nodded, being carried by-was that a boat of dolphins!? "Okay, there's being good with animals, and there's being god." Sero said as the others made their way into the water. "We're closing in on demi-god territory here."
"After the Kaiju bug creature, is this really that surprising?" Jiro rolled her eyes. This class was full of scary people.
"Oh yeah, Koda's here." Iruma muttered. "That means no animals will attack so I guess I don't have to worry." He smiled as he went under the water. That looked good on him, so full of ino-he came back out. "Right, almost forgot you can't open your eyes underwater, too much salt."
"Here, just give me a second…there." Momo created a pair of goggles. "That should keep all the water out. Think of it as a thanks for I-Island…as well as just being a good friend."
"Everyone in 1-A is a good friend." The kindness was too bright in this one. He went back under, coming up after a minute or two. The lung capacity of that boy. "Hey, there's a lot of cool shells down there."
"Oh, yeah, a lot of them are down there." Hagakure swam over, treating Iruma like a floatie. "Let's go deep sea diving together, Iruma-kun!" This girl was way too obvious! She knew Iruma was dense, but there had to be a limit somewhere.
"Why don't I join you guys, make it a fun 'friend' activity." She suggested
"I'm down for that." The two girls turned to Kaminari. "... I don't have money and finding a pearl down there is literally the only chance I'll get at a nice gift for Momo in the near future." Awe, that was actually pretty sweet. Who knew Kaminari could take a relationship so seriously.
"Alright, let's make it a game! First one to find a pearl wins!" Kirishima shouted out. "I'm gonna do this hard core style! No goggles, no scuba gear, bottom of the ocean with nothing but spirit!" He dived into the water.
"Hey." Yaoyorozu started. "He does know that activating his hardness will just make it harder for him to swim back up right?" …It was times like this that proved Iruma could in fact, not be the most dense student in class. His weird danger dodging would've made him avoid any of THAT.
"I'll go." Tsu cracked her neck. "With Iida unable to swim, someone has to be the responsible one in the water." Big sis Froppy on lifeguard duty.
"Okay gals, we need a rest, so beach activity number duos." Mina pulled out some bottles from her bag. "Lotion up and sunbathe. Let's get our tan on."
"Can you even tan?" Toru asked. "I know I can't, light literally passes through me and everything."
"Eh, at most the pink gets a shade darker. I barely understand why I'm pink to begin with." She shrugged, never actually having a problem with that. That's what made her so glamorous!
"Actually, something Iruma told me makes me wonder." Momo questioned as she laid down. "He says you cast a shadow, which is partially how he's able to notice you, so if that's the case, lights not passing through you, but rather reflecting off of you, sort of like a mirror."
"Congratulations Hagakure. You've upgraded from a glass statue to a human mirror." Ochako giggled. "Maybe we can actually get a reflection off of you."
"Very funny, laugh all you want, but I'm going to dominate you in just a second." Oh, what drama came next. "Iruma-kun, do you mind putting some lotion on my back?" Spicy!
"Sure, no problem!" And the kid was innocent to the intimacy of what Toru asked him to do, already getting the lotion out.
"No fair, she's exploiting the fact he can't say no." Ochako grumbled.
"Actually, it's okay as long as no one says please." Jiro said. "I have good hearing so I memorized all the keywords that trigger him, along with 'help me' and 'i'm begging you'." That was horrifying to consider.
"Jokes on you then, he's going to-" Hagakure was cut off with a large slather of lotion just shot onto her back and gently rubbed on.
"There you go." … He somehow took the intimacy out of putting lotion on someone. How that was possible, she had no idea. "Okay guys, I'll be the referee this time! Iida, you should get a chance to play!"
"Keep your eye on the ball then, Dodger!"
"You know what, I need a break anyway, I'll be ref." Kaminari volunteered himself as the two blue haired boys joined the game. "Whether I'm on or against Bakugo's team, I'm always getting hit in the face somehow, and not just by the ball."
Ashido could hear Ochako giggling. Ever since the Finals the girl had grown a bit of a sadist streak … although according to Ojiro, it was always there. Guess love makes people do crazy things. Made her happy she didn't have anyone in mind, for the current moment that is. "Oh Denki, since you're here, would you mind getting my back?" Momo asked the boy.
Kaminari, with the lotion in hand, just stared at the girl's back, and to his hands, and just did that for a solid minute before Bakugo spiked the ball right into his face. The impact was so hard it could be heard from their umbrella a good couple meters away as the boy was sent sprawling into the ground. That had to hurt.
"Kaminari!" Iruma ran over. "Are you okay?"
The boy responded, getting up with a sparking head and a broken nose. "No problem, multiple Momos!"
"Was that really necessary?!" Said girl yelled at the angry boy.
"He was the referee, his job is supposed to be paying attention!" She almost forgot Bakugo could actually be semi-reasonable under that angry exterior.
The lover in question huffed and went back to sitting down with her arms crossed. "Not going let Denki strain himself while he has a concussion." Fair enough, poor girl.
"Um …" Jiro twirled a jack in hand. "I mean … I could do it." Huh? Since when was that a thing?
Bakugo went away as the extras started to go off doing their own thing at this point. Part of him wondered why the hell he ever bothered coming here to begin with. This had nothing to do with training or being a hero, and aside from absolutely crushing it in the Volleyball game, there was nothing keeping him here either.
'You're better off not being here, you've already made everyone hate you just like Dek-Izuku. Their better off not knowing how much of a piece of shit you are, you stupid piece of shit. You're a real piece of shit, but I know that, so that makes me better than all the other pieces of shit..or does that make me worse?'
Damn it, stupid brain, he couldn't get that Bastard Midoriya out of his head, that sick bastard deserved worse than whatever hell he was going to when the fucker finally bit the bullet. He looked down at his bare feet, holding one sole up.
He focused a bit on that feeling, the raw emotion of rage and detonation … and it sparkled. He went to get it checked out, and apparently, his quirk reacted to a strong emotional explosion. Half of Bakugo wanted to kill the man on the spot just for saying that.
'I don't care about Dek-Izuku! I don't care if I won't see him again! I just hate that asshole of dad more than I hate De-Izuku! Even that quirkless bastard didn't deserve-STOP SAYING THAT YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!'
"And fire!" He was hit in the head, a large glob of liquid running down. "Perfectly safe Acid Plus Creating Rubber equals Slime Balloons!" He glared at Raccoon eyes, Shitty hair, and Tape arms holding up balloons at him like he was a walking target.
"You all are going to regret that!" He shouted, running at them. "DIE!" He needed something to relieve the stress, and they were the perfect punching bags. No better time to test his new power than the present, might actually make this day only half shitty.
"Wow, since when can he make explosions from his feet!?" Racoon eyes slid across the sand, somehow dancing her way out of his explosions like a fucking ballerina. "What happened during I-Island?"
"A lot, Ashido, a whole freaking lot." Shitty hair at least kept his mouth shut. That's what made him the most tolerable extra here.
Iruma sucked on the delicious treat, sitting next to the massive sandcastle they made. "This is amazing. It's salty, but sweet." How did such a contradiction come into existence?
"It's the best, right?" Sero grinned. "Nothing quite beats a cold treat as the sun sets." The guy actually took a bite out of his own treat. "You really never had an ice pop before?"
"No, well, If I did, I don't remember. Most of the time I just ate whatever I could find and cooked it in a giant pot."
"Congratulations Sato, you've been promoted to Iruma-kun's official taste maker." Toru laughed.
"I can't cook that many meals, I would die of old age before he gets through with the first course."
"I believe I can provide the budget for ingredients and chefs, though he might actually put a sizable dent in the bank given his appetite." Momo offered. They were being super nice just like Food-Sama! He had so many great friends.
Friends…a long time ago, that almost sounded like a dream that would never come true. "I was totally right wasn't I?" Kaminari smirked. "Beach time rules? Much better than any other vacation we could have had."
"I saw girls in suits, I'm content." Minoru gave that weird smile he always had when girls were around. "All the ladies in class are getting snatched one by one. It's time I expand my horizons outside 1-A."
"If you want to meet girls out of 1-A, Ibara is really nice." The boy was silent, staring at him.
"The obvious ones have all the luck." What did that mean?
"I wouldn't want Iruma-kun any other way." Toru leaned on him as they both sat down. "As long as I'm right by your side, you can have happy days like this all the time."
"And me!" Ochaco leaned on him from the other side. Both of them gave such great hugs
"I'll make sure to watch over your safety as well. Someone has to be responsible here." Iida said from behind him.
"Says the guy that went after Stain." Shoto added.
"I'm working to improve … besides, I'm still concerned with how easily you said you'd be willing to help bury a body during that inspirational speech."
"That's fair I guess. I honestly expected Bakugo to make the first one."
"Fuck you too, icy hot." The boy grumbled. "What are we even still doing here?"
"Something spectacular." Aoyama pointed at the sky. "The time should be … now." Iruma had to stare, but noticed a small light streak through the sky … "A meteor shower from the heavens."
"Wow.." Both he and Ochako ooedd at the sight. Something so shiny, so beautiful, and he got to share this moment with the people he cared about the most in the world.
So why…why couldn't he tell them everything he wanted to tell them? Why SHOULDN'T he tell them about One For All?
