You sure can sweetie! I hope you like it! It did get a biiit longer than expected….
“Die Deku!!”
As soon as the words blasted through the training ground Midoriya saw a flash of yellow, red and blue bursting in his direction. He barely had enough time to react as Bakugo charged at him full speed.
The attack knocked him back and away from the rest of his team. Today was joint training for both hero classes and he had been teamed up with Asui, Momo, and three other kids from 1-B, including you.
Midoriya knew Bakugo well enough to tell that he was trying to accomplish two things with this attack. One was to intimidate him (but that wasn’t new). The second was to show off to you. You looked more concerned than impressed though as you looked at the two boys. He also caught something else in your eyes. Something like guilt. Were you aware of what had been going on?
For the past few days Bakugo had been more aggressive towards Midoriya than normal. Of course, agressive had always been his default mode towards Midoriya and the world as a whole. But things were somewhat worse.
That had been the case since Bakugo noticed Midoriya’s crush on you. How dare the green haired loser? He had his own plans (and crush) for you. And that loser Deku would not get on the way. He would not allow that.
After he discovered the loser’s crush on you, he took the most direct approach that was possible. He cornered Midoriya after class and told him to jump off ship. It wasn’t going to happen, obviously, who’d want him anway? He should either drop the nonsense or face the consequences.
This time though Midoriya did not back down. At first he stuttered and shook (as per usual) at the explosions bursting from his friend’s hands. But then he gulped down and did something completely unlike him. He made direct and unflinching eye contact.
