"Attention. There's been a level three security breach. Please evacuate the building in an organized manner"
My brows furrowed and I turned my head to Bakugou who also looked a little confused.
"What's a level three security breach?" I asked. The doors to the cafeteria flew open and out ran the students of UA.
"HELL IF I KNOW" Bakugou responded and pulled me to the other side of him before running with the crowd, dragging me along with him. "Just keep up with these extras. We don't need to get fucking trampled!"
I listened and pulled my hand out of his grasp as I ran beside him. Then traffic stopped flowing and everyone began pushing. I began to feel that feeling again, the feeling of not being able to breathe. It wasn't panic, I don't think, but I did begin to panic. Everyone was so close and I hated it. My eyes searched the crowd for someone I knew, anyone, but I know now that they were looking for one person specifically.
"OI DUMBASS!" A booming voice yelled out. Even over this crowd, I could hear it as clear as day.
I looked to my right to see the blond-haired boy holding out his hand towards me. He was by the window once more, in a less crowded area where the wave of people didn't push that harshly. So with no hesitation, I grabbed his hand and felt myself being pulled in his direction. The momentum caused the both of us to fly towards the window; in a quick moment, his arms wrapped around my waist and my hand covered the back of his head, protecting it before it could come in contact with the glass.
As quickly as we ended up in that position against the window, we separated. I turned to face the window and immediately noticed the huge crowd at the school gates. I mean, it was a big crowd so who wouldn't be able to notice it?
I slapped Bakugou's shoulder to get his attention.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?" He snapped and rubbed his shoulder.
"Look!" I pointed at the gates. "It's just the media. Everyone is panicking for no reason. We need to let them know so that no one gets injured in this chaos"
"Tch. Why should we care about these extras?" Bakugou scoffed and crossed his arms.
"Be-" I was interrupted by a push that flung me into Bakugou's path. On instinct, I placed my hands out in front of me and stopped myself from falling again. "Because of incidents like THIS!"
I quickly removed my hands from Bakugou after seeing them on his chest. The boy opened his mouth to say something when someone began yelling over the crowd.
"EVERYONE! MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION!"
All of the students, including myself, looked to where this voice was coming from. It was coming from Iida, the boy with engines in his legs. He was on top of the exit sign, posed exactly like the figure in it.
"This is no reason to panic! If you take a look outside there are no villains on the premises! Just the media!" The boy with glasses spoke.
Every head looked out the window and almost immediately calmed down upon the sight. In a short amount of time the hall began to clear and both Bakugou and I headed towards the classroom. Neither one of us wanted to talk about what had happened and I'm glad we didn't. It was already awkward enough being that close to him, addressing it would only make things more uncomfortable.
The rest of the day went on as normal as it possibly could after that incident. I was bombarded with "Are you okay?!" questions and sighs of relief. Izuku renounced his position as class president and gave it to Iida. Everyone was dismissed after the bell. I returned my costume to its respective place and then made my way home.

BAKUGOUS POV
The red-eyed boy stepped out of the classroom and met face to face with no one other than his childhood friend. He cocked an eyebrow and tilted his head.
"The hell do you want nerd?" His tone was cold and sharp. "Ready for round two?"
"Kacchan... I don't want to fight you"
"Damn well you don't shitty Deku. I'll win and you'll die"
"Kacchan, I'm reminding you to stay away from Y/n-kun. She's like my little sister and I don't want to see her hurt ever again" Deku said. His confidence was feigned but his intentions and protectiveness were prominent. The green-haired boy's desire to protect was revolting to Bakugou.
"Who the fuck are you to tell me what to do?" Bakugou replied and stepped towards the smaller male. There was this look in his eyes that scared Deku. The green-eyed boy was crossing into dangerous territory.
"I-It's not like that Kacchan!" Deku spoke quickly and shook his hands violently to stop the blonde boy from stepping any closer. "I know you're a good person Kacchan, but I don't think you're the one for Y/n-kun"
Bakugou gritted his teeth and calmed a bit. He couldn't say anything because Deku was right. In his brain was a little voice telling him that he didn't deserve you at all.
"Where's this shit coming from?"
"I saw you two. It may have been an accident, but don't let it happen again, Kacchan" Deku warned, there was a slight change in his tone. The boy with freckles then walked away, leaving Bakugou to his thoughts.
"Tch. I never wanted to be with her to begin with, damn nerd. Stop spouting and making up shit. Rumors aren't going to let you beat me" Bakugou retorted as he watched Deku walk away. His mind wandered back to the last day of middle school when you had confessed.
"YOU'RE AN ASSHOLE BAKUGOU KATSUKI"
Bakugou walked home in silence with his two goons following behind. He would never admit it, but he was filled with guilt. Seeing you cry made his heartache.
"Geez. Don't you think that was a bit harsh Bakugou?"
"She'll get over it" He replied blandly. The boy hoped that you would get over it.
"But still, you could have-"
"Just shut your fucking mouths!"
His friends shrugged and just followed him. On their path they met face to face with a villain and Bakugou was captured. The villain was a green goo that reeked of bad odor. It had practically engulfed the explosive boy, wrapping itself around his body; suffocating him. He fought the villain off as best as he could with his explosions until Deku came with his disgusting heroic spirit.
It wasn't long until the heroes captured the villain and Bakugou made his way home. His head began to hurt with all these thoughts floating around. He wanted to get rid of them and push them out, but the one he wanted to throw out the most was the one about you.
Perhaps it was karma that got to him, making the boy regretful of not returning your feelings. Bakugou gritted his teeth. No. It wasn't karma, it was merely a coincidence that the incident happened. He blamed you for not allowing him to be strong enough to get out of that situation himself. And that's when he saw him. Deku. The quirkless boy who took pity on him. The one who was related to you.
"DEKU!" Bakugou yelled.
"K-Kacchan!" Deku jumped and turned to see the blonde male.
"I didn't ask for your help back there and I'll BE DAMNED if I let some quirkless nobody like YOU look down on ME! The next time you see me, I won't NEED your fucking help" He yelled before turning the other direction to walk away, calling Deku names.
"Kacchan! W-Wait!" Deku gulped and stood still in his place, gripping tightly at the straps of his book bag.
"WHAT?"
Bakugou whipped around which caused Deku to stiffen up out of fear.
"I- I want to warn you... I know what you did
to Y/n and- and I don't want you going near her again!" The green-haired boy shouted with as much confidence as he could. "She's nice and well... I don't want to see her hurt- by you o-or anyone else for that matter!"
Bakugou's eyes narrowed and he just walked away. The freckled boy's words resonated in the blonde's mind. He was distracted from you until Deku brought up your name again. And for the first time, he admitted to himself that everyone was right. Deku. The extras at Aldera Junior High. Everyone knew it.
He was never good enough for you and he never will be.
