A Hero Worth Fighting For (KiriBaku)

Chapter 1

The two animals are gone, in their place is a boy and a girl with flaming red hair. The boy sits criss cross applesauce, reading a novel as his friends dance. The red-headed girl jumps up and down, smiling cheekily with her fist in the air. "Woo woo! Woo woo!"

The duo with black and blonde hair do twirls as they yell "We did it!" Over and over again. Their hair bouncing up and down as they pirouette over and over again.

Bakugo gets up finally, smiling at his success. "How was that for a group of extras?" MotorBoy asks, everyone stopping to hear his response. Deku, Shoto, and Kaminari now stand next to me as they watch the performance.

"Nice job! That was so cool! You all did well!" He yells, smiling. They smile back, draping their arms over everyone's shoulders. They all chant "Whos the best! We're the best! Hell yeah!" They fist bump happily.

Finally, he turns to us. "Red Riot! It's been far too long!" He forms his hand into a fist and holds it out towards me. I comply and do the same, giving him a fist bump. He does an explosion motion, MotorBoy whisper-yelling boom from behind him.

"And these guys are?" Deku asks, pointing to the pros.

"Oh! Yes! Introduce yourselves!" Bakugo says, stepping out of the way for his friends.

"I'm MotorBoy! But please, skip the formalities. Call me Justin! My quirk is I can turn into a motorcycle." The black haired boy, who I shall now call Justin has sparkling blue eyes like the night sky.

"My hero name is ElectroBeats and I control technology. But you can call me Chloe! I'm Justin's girlfriend!" The blonde states.

"The name is Marshall. They call me God of Flames, I can turn into a deer but that's not my main quirk. That's all." Marshall states, bored. Ah so he is the flaming deer, wonder what his quirk is.

"I'm his twin sister, Maggie! I go by Fire Fox though! I have speed both physically and mentally. Meaning, I can come up with speedy answers and plans too 'cause I'm a genius!" She yells, a little too loud and fast. "And you must be Deku, Todoroki, and Kaminari! Oh, and you're Karishima right? Bakugo's cru-"

"Shut it Maggie."

"Okay brother!"

"Sorry, she can be annoying," Bakugo laughs, rubbing the back of his neck.

"It's nice to meet you all! Any friend of Kacchans is a friend of mine!" Deku says.

We all expect him to yell out angrily about how he isn't our friend, but instead he smiles happily. "Say!" Bakugo starts, "Why don't we all go out to eat? Catch up with each other. It's been what, five years since graduation?"

"Yes we should!" Kaminari yells.

"I'm free," The rest of us say in unison.

"What about you guys?" Bakugo asks, turning towards the other four.

"We'll let you guys catch up. Another time though, okay?"

"But I'm hung-" Justin steps on Maggie's foot. "Oh right, yes we shall leave!"

The twins transform into the flame animals, running away. Fire Fox needs to race back every few seconds because she keeps going way too far ahead. Justin transforms into a motorcycle, Chloe getting on and slowly driving off. "Bye!" she says to Bakugo as the press moves out of her way. Bakugo yells his farewells.

"I know where we can change, follow me Bakugo." Todoroki starts to walk away, but the press swarms him. As much as I love the attention, they can never leave us alone. We're busy people! Their scoop is more important though I guess.

"Dynamite! How does it feel to be number five in the top heroes?" Wow, didn't know that. That's amazing! I don't really pay attention to who's on top honestly.

"Shoto! Are you still in contact with your father?" Wow, did you have to ask him that?

"Charge Bolt! How does it feel to be pushed back to number thirteen on the hero list?"

We try, but fail to get away. They won't stop asking these pointless or personal questions. "No comment! Now move out of the way!" Katsuki yells, wrapping his arms around us as he glares at the reporters. They move out of the way, not wanting to be on his bad side.

We change and go to this restaurant Bakugo loves. It's a cheap family restaurant that has no other customers. "This is my favorite place to go! The fries are the best here!" I sit next to Bakugo, Deku and Kaminari across from us and Todoroki next to me.

Bakugo wears a black athletic tank top paired with some baggy camo sweats. His black army style boots bring the outfit all together. He looks hot. 

Why do I keep saying he's hot?

I wear a red hoodie paired with some light blue ripped jeans. My red tennis shoes squeak under the table as I shift my position. Oftentimes us heroes can be seen wearing glasses and hats to hide our identity but the only person out of us five that does that today is Todoroki. He wears sunglasses often to hide his scar. He learned long ago to accept it but he still doesn't need the press on his back.

"What can I get ya'll to eat today?" A waiter with long black hair and stunning green eyes asks. "Ah Bakugo I see you brought some new friends! Ain't that nice!" Her western accent is strong.

He nods, looking at Deku to order. We all order, Bakugo just saying the usual. Midoriya ordered chicken tenders, Todoroki the mac and cheese, Kaminari got a grilled cheese, and I got a regular burger. We all got fries, besides me since I figured I wasn't that hungry.

"So Bakugo, what's the usual?" Deku asks.

"A cheeseburger and fries, it's what I get every time." He takes a sip of his soda and I notice him stare at me as he sucks on the straw.

"Sounds good!" Kaminari says.

He nods. "So Shitty Hair, what have you been up to?" He laughs.

"Just the usual hero work. I adopted a German shepherd last year, she's pretty awesome." I remember that nickname, and surprisingly I missed it.

"Really? I got a golden retriever last year! Decided to pay tribute to my old hero name and called her Lord Boomy! Tell me about your dog!" He puts his elbow on the table, resting his head on the palm of his hand.

"Right! I don't remember which I liked more, Lord Explosion Murder or King Explosion Murder!" I laugh. "My sweet girl is named Pop Rocks but I usually just call her Rocksy! She's so sweet, I remember last night when I came home she ran up to me and jumped up. It was so cute!" I describe the fond memory, talking a mile a minute.

"Dogs are the best! I want one so bad but I just don't have the time with work," Kaminari sighs.

"Same. Maybe someday I'll get one!" Deku says, excitedly.

"I, however, don't want any pets. Ever." Shoto replies.

The waiter brings our food, ending the conversation of dogs. "So Deku, how does it feel to be the number one hero?" Bakugo laughs, imitating the reporter from earlier.

"Deku laughs, "Well, lets just say it feels great to be better than you." We all laugh at that.

"I don't know, my future looks promising. I might just top you someday," Bakugo actually sounds pretty chill, he's joking around with us. He's not actively trying to be the best.

It's silent for a while, as we chew on our delicious food. Eventually, Kaminari says "This is amazing! I should've ordered more food!"

"Agreed. I'm still hungry." My stomach growls, that was not enough food. The burger was so good, I should've got the fries too.

"Want some of my fries?" Bakugo asks, grabbing my arm unexpectedly.

"S- Sure." My face gets warm, am I blushing? Why did I just stutter? I take a couple, eating it hurriedly. Bakugo lets go quickly, noticing his hand. He blushes a light red, smiling silently. "Th- This is so good! Give me more!"

"Don't take them all!" He yells, right after I take the last handful of fries.

"Oops." We all laugh, even Bakugo does, and we don't stop.
