"That was different. I had to prove a point. And I was using it on a softball, not a person."
Shoto opened his mouth to respond, but All Might was already making his announcements.
"We will have seven teams of three! One will have to go twice as a villain or hero group depending on points! I will choose these teams randomly from this hat!"
Why does he always sound so excited? You thought to yourself, but then again english class with Present Mic was a whole other level of too loud for you.
Your ears began to ring so you almost missed when All Might called your name.
"Young Y/n, Bakugo, and Iida! You shall be the villains!"
"Hm?" You thought you might have heard that wrong.
"You again, huh?" Bakugo was standing next to you now.
He did look intimidating. Far more than before. He even seemed taller if that was possible. When he crossed his arms, his muscles bulged out. Those grenade like things on his wrists looked so heavy it would probably take both your arms to even pick it off the ground.
Perfect. A hot head to manage while you were just trying to pass a class. How fun.
When Bakugo gave you a side glance, he noticed you were smirking just at the thought.
"Why are you smiling like that!? Are you mocking me again!? I'll punch that smirk right off your face you loser!" He yelled, putting up a fist.
You shrugged.
"You can try, but I guarantee you I'm faster with those tanks." You said, flicking the gauntlet on his raised arm. Looking him up and down, your grin widened. "If we're being frank, I'm probably faster either way."
Surprising you, Bakugo grabbed the wrist that touch his weapon and held it tight in his gloved hand.
The pressure instantly made your body tense, your quirk beginning to stir beneath your skin at the sensation of a threat.
Remembering to just breath, you tried to control the shaking violence beneath your skin that wanted to blow away the boy holding on so tightly.
But when you looked into his red eyes, Bakugo's intensity wasn't aggressive at all. Actually, he just looked focused rather than angry. His mouth was loose, jaw unclenched. It was as if, he was searching you for something, trying to look deeper.
You didn't know, but he felt the slight vibration when he grabbed you, the sudden change in your demeanor as you'd all the sudden gone quiet.
There was something up with you.
He always tried to ignore it in class, but it always came back to this thoughts like an itch at the back of his brain.
Finally, he loosened his grip.
"You're on my team." He said, calmly, matter of factly. "So I don't have time for you to piss me off." With that he let you go and stepped back into line, facing All Might. "Just stay out of my way."
Thankfully no one really noticed, because they were all paying attention to All Might.
"And now for the heroes that will go against them!" All Might announced, picking names from the box. "Todoroki! Mydoria! Uruaka!"
Bakugo smiled wide as he heard Deku's name, but you only turned to Todoroki.
"Will today be the day I even the score with you, Shoto?" You teased with a smile.
"I won't go easy on you." He retorted playfully.
"I wouldn't expect anything less." You winked, following Iida and Bakugo as he went the other way. "See you on the battleground."
