Can I Still Be A Hero?

Training Against Time

Bakugo's POV
"Oh? Does Bakugo have a new friend?~"
Successfully dodging my mother's intrusive questions about Kirishima and what she had seen outside I quickly run upstairs. Slamming my bedroom door shut, I flip onto the carpeted floor. Frustration and embarrassment pumps though my entire fucking being as I cringe when recalling my mother's taunts. To think that old hag saw everything with Kirishima. Shit! At fucking least she couldn't hear us though.

But I did~
I don't wanna hear shit from you!
Oh c'mon! He's a possible mate! That's kinda one of my big fucking jobs.
How many times do I have to tell you no?! 'M not getting a fucking mate.
Seriously?! I don't understand you at all! And 'm in your fucking head!
Another pill could fix that.
Not funny, you can't have two a day anyway.
I grit my teeth in irritation because I know they're right. I tried that once and ended up throwing up.

Whatever, just shut up.
No way, my speaking time is invaluable with you. Honestly, you've found yourself a great catch. Kirishima is attractive, he's kind, protective, an alpha and somehow puts up with your bullshit.
Exactly, he's not a shit person so I don't wanna fuck up having a real friend for once.
But you could be more than friends!
First off, I don't wanna be more than friends. Second, what if he reacts badly to me being an omega? He could feel tricked. Used. I don't wanna do that shit to him.
Oh now you're just over exaggerating.
Am I though? He could already be seeing someone anyway.
True. So next time we see him you'll ask.
No fucking way. I don't care about his love life.
Well I do!
Fuck you.
That's what 'm trying to make happen!

Gripping my head, I grind my teeth in pent up fury and annoyance. Everyday the same fucking argument. Get a mate, get laid, get pregnant. Fucking bullshit.
I seriously fucking doubt that there's an inner voice out there nearly as irritating as mine.

Kirishimas POV
Mom's gonna be mad.
I should only be an hour or uh- maybe two late? That's not too bad, right?
Whatever makes you feel better man.
Sighing nervously I look out of the train window for what feels like the hundredth time.
Hey-um, alpha bro?
What's up man?
What do you-uh think about Bakugo?"
... he confuses me.
Hah, same. But it's weird, 's like I have this draw to him. I know, it sounds stupid.
No, I get it dude. I feel it too.
You think... maybe he could be-?
Deciding against the question I cut off my thought.

'M literally in your conscience, I know what you're thinking. And of course not, I mean Bakugo doesn't have a scent, a glow, he's taller than Midoriya, Tokoyami, and Mina who are all alphas, honestly if he isn't an alpha I don't even think he's presented yet.
That's not fair, first, Minas a girl. Second, no offense, but Midoriya and Tokoyami are just short.
True enough. Still, looking at what we know about Bakugo him being an omega just wouldn't add up.
Yeah... and I suck at Math.
I-I mean you're right, but that's not my point.

The trains rhythmic bumping and passing noise comes to a slow as the vehicle halts. Quickly grabbing my bag I clumsily run out and onto the cracked pavement. Starting my sprint home again the anxiety from before starts building up even higher this time. Stopping at my small but comfy home I think nervously about how Mom will react to my late arrival. Taking a deep breath I mutter a few encouraging words before stomping up to the brick doorstep.
"You've got this. Be a man. Be a man..."

Stepping into my one story home I glance around nervously for Mom to come around with an interrogation speech already prepared.
"Eijiro?!"
The black haired woman frantically runs into the living room, sliding slightly on the tile floor. Mom quickly grabs onto me, cupping my cheeks with shaky hands. Worry basically drips from her worn face.
"Are you okay?! Did they hurt you Eijiro?!"
The shorter beta quickly but thoroughly checks me, searching for any injuries.
"Mom! Mom, I'm fine!"
I can tell that Mom had been crying, her eyes puffy and rimmed with red. Looking closer I can see the many tear stains that had streaked down her pale skin.
"I was so worried when the school emailed me! Oh, Eijiro..."
The emotional woman cups my face with care, softly dragging her thumb across my cheekbone.
"I insisted on leaving work early but the school told me that I'd be best to stay calm, that they had it under control... I was so scared, my poor little pup..."
My mom's teary eyes and frightened tone makes my heart sink with guilt. I should've gotten home earlier, Mom was scared out of her mind but I just took my fucking time.
"It's okay Mom, it all worked out in the end. I know you're worried but 'm not your little pup anymore. 'M training to become a hero, run ins with villains are inevitable."
The dark haired beta wipes her tears whilst sniffling, nodding sadly,
"I-I know. I just-I didn't think it would all be happening s-so quickly!"
