~Bakugo’s POV~
I sigh, walking around the UA campus until I heard Deku’s annoying voice.
“Kacchan! Kacchan wait up!” He shouts. I walk faster, trying to avoid the previously quirkless boy.
“Kacchan!” He shouts, running to catch up with me. He walks alongside me.
“Did you hear, there’s going to be a new girl in class 1-A today.”
“I heard that yesterday. What’s it gotta do with me?” I snap.
“Well, I just wanted to make sure you knew.” He days with a shrug.
“Well I know now so fuck off.” I snap, walking past the green-haired boy. I walk into the building and walk to class 1-A, taking my seat near Kirishima, my crush.
“Hey Bakubro!” Kiri says.
“Hey.” I say with a soft smile. Something about this boy could just make me smile all day.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when Mr. Aizawa walked into the room, looking as done as always.
“Hello everyone. As you know, we will be receiving a new student today. I expect you all to be on your best behaviour.” He says, standing at his podium. After a few moments, the bell rang and we all started on our daily routine before a girl walked into the classroom, breathless.
“S-so sorry I’m late. I missed the bus.” She says, bowing shyly to the class.
“Class, this is Saika Daguchi. She had a late recommendation.” Mr. Aizawa says, motioning to her. She bows again.
“Please take your seat. The class will catch you up.” Mr. Aizawa says, going to his sleeping bag. She nods and takes the only empty seat, poor girl, right by Mineta.
“Hey girl. Wanna go out?” He asks, winking.
“No thanks honey. I wouldn’t even be friends with you. From what I’ve been warned, you do this to every breathing female. Disgusting.” She states bluntly, flipping her sunset-pink hair over her shoulder as she started sketching in her sketchbook.
“So, Saika, what’s your quirk?” Mina asks.
“Oh, whatever I draw comes to life if I will it. And I can manifest my art supplies.” Saika says, manifesting a pencil from her arm.
“That’s cool! Must come handy in battle.”
“Yeah. The fastest I can sketch a weapon is 5.5 seconds. I’ve been practicing ever since I got my quirk.” She says, smirking slightly.
“But in my free time, I just sketch. Sometimes they come handy in battles.” Saika says, showing the small crowd around her some of the drawings she had made.
“Impressive. But right now we are doing classwork.” Tenya Iida says, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.
“Of course. Can I get some help catching up please?” Saika asks. Mina jumped on the opportunity, helping Saika out as much as she could.

After all the classes ended, students filtered out of the school, making plans for the weekend, although it was only Wednesday. I just walked towards the gate with my hands in my pockets before Kirishima walked up to me.
“Hey Bakubro, how would you feel hanging at my place this weekend? J-Just the two of us?” He asks, a slight blush appearing on his face. I blush.
“U-uh… s-s-s-sure. Wh-what time?” I ask, stumbling over my words.
“How about three and we make is a sleep-over?”
“O-okay!” I say, smiling slightly.
“Great! See you tomorrow and I look forward to this weekend!”
“S-see ya.” I say, waving as he walked off, high-fiving Denki when he got back to his friend group. I smile softly and walk to the train station, ready to be home to tell my mom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day, I walked to class to see the new girl, Saika, sitting in her seat while she sketched. The only other students there were Kirishima, Iida, and Denki.
“Hey, Bakubro!” Kiri says, waving to me with a large grin on his face. I nod in his direction and walk over to the new girl.
“Oh, hey. You’re Bakugo, Katsuki Bakugo, am I right?” She asks, looking up at me. I look at her drawing, seeing that she was sketching the class.
“Yeah, I am. And I am going to be the next number one hero, so don’t get any ideas, Extra.” I say, trying to act tough. She only chuckles.
“Okay, hot shot. You do that. I’ll be here, cheering you all on. I don’t want to be the number one. I’d be okay wherever I rank. So long as I help people.” She says, smiling sweetly. She then goes back to her drawing, sketching out Deku.
“Tch.” I say, going to my seat and sitting down, grabbing my books out of my bag.
Several hours later, it came time for lunch. I grab my tray and walk to my normal table, seeing Saika sitting alone at one end. I shrug it off, seeing that she was drawing again. Kiri waved me over and I sat down, glancing at Saika.
“What’s her deal?”
“Apparently she doesn’t really like being bothered while she eats. I guess it’s because she draws while she does. She’s pretty touchy when she’s drawing, especially if it’s an important drawing to her. Like the one she was working on this morning.”
“How do you know about that one?”
“I walked in on her when she started. She was having Shoji pose to be drawn.”
“And everyone let her pose them?”
“Of course! It’s cool to be drawn.” Kiri says, smiling. I scoff and smirk slightly.
“Whatever you say, shitty hair.” I say, starting to eat. After a few moments, Saika walked over, holding her sketchbook. She moved around me slowly, drawing as she stared intensely. After a few moments, I snapped.
“What the hell are you doing? It’s creepy!” I shout.
“O-oh, sorry, I just needed to get the smaller details.H-how does it look?” She asks, showing me her sketchbook. I zero in on the drawing of me to see that she captured every little detail.
“Tch, not bad.” I say, blushing a bit. She smiles and hugs her sketchbook to her chest.
“I’m glad!” She says, walking back to her spot.
“Dude, what was that about?” asks Kirishima.
“Tch, nothing… just didn’t like her invading my personal space.” I say, shrugging off the incident like it was nothing.
After lunch, the day flew by and before I knew it, it was time to head home. Only one more day before my sleep over at Kirishima’s place. I walk towards the gate to see Saika sitting on a bench on the path. She had her sketchbook in her lap and Mina standing in front of her, holding a simple, standing pose.
“That the only pose you can do? Beginner.” I scoff. Saika stands, telling Mina to take a rest.
“Wanna say that again, to my face?” She snaps, standing a little close for comfort. I square my shoulders.
“Having everyone in a standing pose. That all you can do? Beginner.” I say again.
“I’ll have you know, I’m just trying to have everyone be comfortable when I pose them. If you can hold a complicated standing pose for at minimum forty-five minutes, I’d like to see you try. I’ll redo the whole drawing of you if you really think you can do that.” She says, fuming.
“I-I-” She cuts me off.
“I’m not finished! If you wanna call me a beginner, I’d like to see you do better. I’ve been drawing for my whole life. What have you been doing your whole life? Exploding things? Huh? Katsuki?” She snaps, her face red from yelling at me.
“Oh yeah? I’ll draw better! And I’ll do that pose! You’ll see! I’m the best!” I say, looking her in the eye.
“Tomorrow, homeroom. We’ll see about that.” She says, going back to Mina and apologizing for the altercation. I scoff and roll my eyes, walking to the train station.
