"May, your hair! It's so cute!" Pony gushes when she sees you and Kirishima walk over. "I love it!"
Your face lit up tenfold, "Thank you. Red Riot enjoys it as well. Correct?" You look at him.
"Yep," Kirishima flushed, trying hard to remain calm. But his cheeks gave it away and sheepish smile.
But it was noticeable, you hadn't noticed but someone did, their black eyes narrow at Kirishima for a moment but the anger quickly dissolves then they hear your voice and their eyes happily target right on you and your smile….that you wore…it sweet. Too sweet, since the first time they saw and during the sports festival and now this!
They could feel their best ready to explore and..:and….
"You still haven't found a place to intern at yet?" Pony asked surprised as she began walking with you and Kirishima to your respective rooms.
You walk in the middle, Pony on one side and Kirishima on the other. Before he followed you two, he felt eyes in his direction and turned to see.
There was none and hurried to catch up with you.
"I have not discovered one yet," you answer disheartened with your shoulders slumping, "I know our teacher expects it from me but….I and not sure."
Pony was about to say something, but Kirishima swooped in.
"There's still a choice for Forth Kind."
"Yes! Please!" A boisterous voice burst pleading, through the halls, startling some students.
You, Pony, and Kirishima stop and look back in the direction of the outburst. There was nothing but behind some lockers, the owner stood with their hand clamped over their mouth. They couldn't believe you almost saw them, and more importantly, the suggestion Kirishima extended…you interning at Forth Kind…with them…they could spend all week with you and you with them.
And the world becoming better and the week-oh the week would be the best! You needed to accept Kirishima's offer, you just had to! And who knows maybe during the week and towards the end after forming an iron connection, hand-holding! They'd be able to hold your hand.
Your hand!
"Dude, you okay?" their classmate from 1-B noticed looking at them confused and weirded out. Upon hearing your voice and noticing you running back the way you came it clicked. "Oh, that's it. Come on." They reach out and grab them by the collar of their uniform and pull them to their room.
"I'll wait for her, you can go on to class," Kirishima tells Pony as they watch you make your way down the hall back the way the three of you walked.
You realized you forgot something or was you needed to do something and left. Kirishima offered to go with you, but you declined and insisted he and Pony hurry to class not wanting them to arrive late, before he could oppose you already left.
Pony cast a glance at him and noticed something in the way Kirishima's eyes were in the direction you went. She couldn't quite place it but there was this giddy warm and she was sure her eyes spotted a light blush, nearly matching his hair on his cheeks. She didn't mind waiting for you but something told her to leave, she couldn't help but turn away and laugh a little. It caught Kirishima's attention and he turned his eyes from the direction you went to her.
"You okay?" He asked lifting a brow.
Before she could answer someone spotted and called to Kirishima, "Kirishima are you heading to class?" Leo asked walking over with his brother minus Mikey who ran right the second he saw Kamari up ahead and loudly yelled in the halls, dude!.
Kirishima looked at the Hamato brothers' way, "Oh, hey. Well, I guess," he said a bit unsure and quickly looked back the way you went, he saw no sign of you coming. "Are you guys?"
Leo nodded, "Yes. Normally we'd be seated but we ran a bit late today. Are you ready for today? Starting the internships?"
"Yeah!" Kirishima lit up, "I'm going with Fourth Kind. What about you? All of you." He addressed Donnie and Raph.
Pony excused herself and left. "I'm taking tutelage under Edgeshot," Leo said with a bit of pride, hoping to mask his sleight disappointment of lack of offers.
"Oh, really! That's cool! He's a great pro," Kirishima congratulated. "You must have gotten a lot of offers to intern at his agency."
Leo slightly shrugged, "Yes. A good…good amount. He aligns with my aesthetics. What me and my brothers were raised to do."
"Oh, that's right, you guys were all trained to be ninjas. May told me," Kirishima said, with a rather happy smile Raph noticed. His eyes narrowed hotly at the redhead.
"She did?" He emphasized, folding his arms across his chest, "How did she do that?"
Kirishima realized what he said and how he said it, he looked to the second brother, "Oh, umm, it was during class and your younger Mikey mentioned it a few times."
Raph's eyes narrowed suspiciously for a moment but knew Kirishima was correct on the part with Mikey. That loudmouth wouldn't stop about the ninja thing he, his brothers, April, and you were trained for. Putting them leagues everyone here…at this prison. Raph knew no one here held a candle to things he and the rest could do, he was certain he could wipe the floor with everyone and anyone here, especially that cocky, spiky blonde Bakugo. Oh, how he wanted to melt off his face with a single punch. That would be the best thing to earn from staying here. Just one good punch.
As Raph ruminated in the idea, he didn't hear Kirishima asking him about where he was interning. So the question went to Donnie.
"What about you?"
Donnie's shoulders stiffened a bit and nervously looked around before mumbling to the side. Leo spoke for him "He hasn't told any of yet. So we don't know."
The bell rang signaling everyone to get to class. "We better hurry, come on we'll walk with you," Leo offers and begins walking, he notices Kirishima remaining behind, "You coming?"
Kirishima went back to looking the way you went, there was still no sign of you. By all accounts you shouldn't have taken this long to return, he wanted to stay and make sure you made it to class on time too, but he didn't want to be late. If you were late, as you constantly were he knew Aizawa would give you detention after the week was up and you didn't like it. Come to think of it Bakugo didn't like it either, he wasn't sure why but didn't think much of it.
Just where were you and what was taking you long? Something unsettling twisted in his stomach.
"Kirishima?" Leo called, breaking his thoughts. Kirishima turned to him,"You coming?"
You heard the bell and you hurried down the hall, being mindful not to bump into anyone, though it would be easier if you could just fly over them. But, that wasn't allowed and you had to remain grounded. You had just about five minutes to reach class, and you still hadn't figured out where you wanted to internship at. Mr. Aizawa was going to be livid and who knows what he'd do or say to you. He gave you extra time to decide and you could have even emailed him them, but you didn't. Your focus was on trying to get into contact with your father, Kirby. But you hadn't been able to. That and adjusting to living with Bakugo and his family, especially Bakugo.
The mere thought made you shutter and you didn't want to think about that, then again if you were late to class….all next week after interning you could possibly be given detention which meant that Bakugo would be….his angry face appeared in mind and you yelped hurrying faster, unaware familiar and particular eyes watched you distastefully brimming with anger. Their desire to attack you now, with no one around…slowly encroached on them. They could throw a surprise attack and you wouldn't be any the wiser, that side of you was gone, and they were quite aware of it. Yes, it showed up a few times during the Sports Festival matches, but it vanished just as quickly. It was disgusting, an embarrassment.
Dark silver energy began coating their hand, they lifted it, and aimed it at your back, allowing the energy to collect into a single small sphere and-
A hand came down on their shoulder, followed by a voice, "Jun, what are you doing?" Shinso asked coming to his side with a steady eye on him.
Jun dropped his hand quickly as it went up and shrugged off Shinso nonchalantly, "Nothing. What do you want?" He sneered a bit, turning around, not even meeting Shinso's inquiring eyes. "Are you finally going to return my device? It wasn't cheap you know."
"Aren't you full of yourself," Shinso clipped taking his hand back and playfully hit his shoulder against Jun's. "We're going to be late to class and here." He reached into his pocket and took out the music device. He placed it in Jun's hand. "And it's not that expensive. Let's get to class, okay?"
Jun quietly scoffed at the thought but knew better than to divert from what…his mother said. A feared chill ran down his spine from her cutting glare and Twi's sharing the same golden-amber eyes. Any thought of enacting his own against you vanished, and he hurried to class with Shinso.
Everyone made it to their seats in 1-A, all students accounted for, except for….one. One that set Bakugo's anger levels rising and quiet promise threats. Another left them worried if not concerned, Kirishima couldn't stop looking at your empty seat. There was no doubt in his mind you were lost or lost track of time, he wasn't the only one who noticed and let out a long sigh.
"Everything alright, Todoroki?" Momo asked hearing the sigh.
Before he could say anything Aizawa entered and all attention went to him. He walked in sluggishly as usual, to his podium. His eyes set on the students he quietly took attendance in each row. He was just a row away from yours when suddenly-
"Hey, May's not here," Izuku noticed, quietly whispering to April, she was surprised and discretely turned and pivoted her eyes to the side in the direction of your seat.
You were indeed absent, her eyes shot at Bakugo, he was here….but you weren't. Her brows knotted together full annoyance on display. From the corner of his eyes, Bakugo picked up April's glare and shot one back. Something he shouldn't have done, and her eyes flashed a light hue. She was now in his head. She quickly left it ending the connection, her eyes widening mixed with shock and disbelief. Did she just read what she read…did she go too far…during their exchange of words….did she slip into something she shouldn't have? Her eyes flicker back to Bakugo, he kept his shut this time. The scowl never left. Izuku noticed the expression on April's face.
"April, you okay?" He leaned over a bit, reaching out when you came flying in at high speed, shouting you were here.
Quickly you break, however not fast enough and your trajectory causing you to crash land and collide into the wall. Luckily you were unharmed from the slight indent you created. Iida's mouth would have dropped to the floor if his mind wasn't on something else.
"That has never happened before," you mutter removing yourself from the wall, slightly dizzy, and take a step forward, only to drop down right into someone's lap.
The whole class, minus Aizawa gasped terrified, Mineta and Karminari turned white with Sero. Mashirao shot up from his seat worried and hesitation all over his face. It took you a moment to become aware of the others' reaction, as you dust yourself off, blinking a few times.
"What is it?" you innocently asked, tilting your head and noticing where everyone's eyes were directed at. You blinked again and it clicked, your seat was empty, and….you were sitting somewhere else. Lifting a hand you extend to your side and touch something firm.
It felt like a chest? You were sure and patting it a few times, a few more sharp gasps filled the class. Mina clasped her hands over her mouth while trying to signal you to stop along with Izuku, who was begging you. You still weren't following and moved your hand up slowly….a face now?
A face!
Your head snapped in the direction of your hand and you found Bakugo's red eyes glaring down at you with such heat, your body filled with it as you suddenly shrunk. A low growl rose from Bakugo's throat, that grew every second you remained in his….. you looked down and you found yourself in his….lap.
Every fiber in Bakugo's body struggled to restrain itself….every atom exploded. You were in his lap….his damn lap! And still touching his face!
That was it!
Izuku shot up from his seat with Kirishima and a few others. "May!" They shouted ready to act, for Aizawa to hold up a hand and walk over to you and…by extension Bakugo.
He cast the darkest shadow over you standing before you, your eyes nervously lift his, and you saw nothing….nothing but the sternest look ever. The calmest his face had didn't compare to what was beneath the surface…
Aizawa slowly unwrapped his scarf, your heart skipped a few beats your body started trembling, and you knew what was coming next, "Did you decide on your internship?" He simply asked.
Lying was out of the question, you knew that, his eyes pierced straight through any thought of doing so, though you wouldn't do it, you weren't keen on lying and Master Splinter wouldn't be proud. You open your mouth only to close it, you do it a few times. He had his answer and threw his scarf at you.
You screamed and latched onto Bakugo. His brow twitched with a blood vessel. Your frightened screams did little but could be heard through the halls of UA. After a few seconds, they stopped and you were completely tied up in the scarf.
Aizawa lowered to your level, his eyes locked with yours, "You have a week of detention, next week."
You nod, whining as he takes you away. To the front.
Bakugo balled up his fist, and a few explosions emitted, he didn't look your way nor at anyone else, his thoughts were only on you, you were dead. So dead.
