Opposites (Bakugo x Reader)

Next Step

-------Your POV------

Your alarm rang to wake up. Too bad you didn't sleep. You fixed your hair and put on your uniform fixing your tie. You slugged up the stairs and Momo laughed.

"Did you pull an all nighter again? You look exhausted!" She slid you a cup of tea. "Here, this will help. I'm a bit tired myself." You nodded a thank you before you drank the cup of tea.

Mina came running down the hall. "Hurry! We're gonna be late!" You looked at the time. Only 6 minuets to class!

"Crap! How is it that late already?!" You put your cup in the sink and grabbed your bag as the three of you ran all the way to class. Sliding in the door as the bell rang.

"Why are you three so late?!" Tenya yelled.

"Woah! (F/n)! You look like a mess!" Denki chuckled.

"Denki, I will hit you!" You pointed at him as you took your seat. Kiri laughing.

"You're spending to much time with Bakugo! So mean!"

Aizawa and the councilors entered again. "All right. Let's get started. Only three weeks left. And no one's signed anywhere. Good. You brats are really thinking about this."

You raise your hand. "I could use some advice actually..." All Might smiled and waved you over.

"Allow me to help young (L/n)." You followed him to one of the near bye conference rooms where you got your notebook out with your list. "So, how can I help you?"

"Well, I have some concerns. I haven't even gone though my full list but I feel like my heart has already made a decision."

"I'm assuming your going to sidekick with Hawks."

Your cheeks blush. "I want to. When out on the field he treats me like a hero. Not his kid. He pushes me to do better..." You trail off, your head full of consern. "Well I know I'll be in the city no matter what! My quirk would be wasted anywhere else."

"That's true...so...if you have it all figured out then what do you need me for?"

"Well....All Might sir....Wouldnt it be like cheating?"

"Out of all the agencies out there, I believe Hawks would be the best place for you. Truly. The amount you grew working with him was imesurable. I can't imagine what you would do fully working with him. You'd go pro in no time."

A few tears fell from your eyes. All Might wrapped his arms around you in a hug. "All--"

"I remember the first time I saw you cry. Back in your first year. You were shaking. Terrified. Couldn't trust anyone but Aizawa. I'm so proud of how far you've come young (L/n)!"

"All Might.." you sobbed as you hugged him back.

"Just follow your heart kid. Your gonna give those boys a run for their money on the next number one hero. Cuz I'll be betting on you."

-------Bakugo's POV------

They were gone for a while. I wrote down the top heroes in the city that offered me a sidekick position. Anything less was a waste of my time. Finally she came back in, her eyes slightly puffy. What happened in there?

"Allright. Let's get this over with." I grabbed my paper and followed All Might.

"Oh okay? Uh..let's go then Young Bakugo." All Might trailed behind me as I sat in a seat in the conference room.

"I know we have to talk but I already know where I'm going. You can't change my mind."

"Then at least tell me why your going there."

"I'll be pushed the most. Get the most experience."

"I'm glad to hear that.

"I'm gonna be the number one hero damnit!" I snatch my papers.

All Might put his hands up. "I know. It's what you've said since your first day here. Although you got your work cut out for you."

"Are we done here? I got plans."

"Just, stay on the path your on. Never stop pushing past your limit. I know you'll be a top hero one day." All Might smiled at me.

I stood up and held my paper. "Your wrong. I'll be the top hero."

I went back to the classroom and sat in my desk. Pinky bounce over to talk to (f/n).

She looked at her paper. "I still wanna think it through a little more. Plus I have to write a speech on top of it."

"Speech? Lame!" Pinky pouted

"I suck at speeches." She sighed.

Kirishima leaned on her desk. "Want some help? Im pretty good at speeches! We could work on it after class today. I'll even take you out for some grub. My treat!"

She gasped. "Really? Thank you Kiri! That would be awesome!

"Come on, we'll have some best pal time!" Kirishima gave her a fist bump making her smile more.

"Sounds awesome Kiri!" The bell rang. She gathered her papers and put them in her book bag. Kirishima waited for her and they left the classroom together.

---------Your POV------

You crumple up the paper and lay your head on the table. "I'm useless!" You sigh. "Someone else should make the speech. I can't do it."

"Come on, don't give up yet!" Kiri ruffled your hair. "Come on. One last try for today. Let's start simple, what's the main thing you want to say to our class, teacher, and family?"

You sigh and think for a moment. A main message. There's so many things to say. "It's cliche but, I mainly want to say thank you I guess."

"Okay, now, why do you want to say thank you?" He took the pencil and grabbed a new sheet of paper. "You talk, I'll write."

"Okay...well...." You listed a few things that you wanted to say, Kiri made some bullet points and added some extra notes to the side.

"Alright! Not a bad start!" He smiled as his phone rang. "Kirishima speaking!" He answers it. "Oh! Okay. We'll head back then!" He hung up. "We gotta head back. I guess the girls wanna have a game night since there's no school tomorrow."

"Oh yeah, I forgot it's Friday." You sigh as you gathered all your papers and pencils and out them back in your bag. "Thanks for the help Kiri. I really appreciate you." You smiled at him and he blushed and smiled back.

"Anything for my ray of sunshine!" You both got up and walked back to the train station. 

-------Bakugo's POV------

I grabbed a can of soda from the fridge and stormed back into the common room for this stupid game night.

"Can I get some help? She just slumped over! She feels really warm too. I think she might be getting sick." Deku whined

"Is she drooling?" I sighed. IcyHot leaned in to look.

"No." He put a hand on her forehead. "She is really warm. Someone grab a thermometer." Momo quickly ran to the bathroom and came back with the little scan gun. He swiped it on her forehead. "104. That's way too high!"

"Should we take her to a hospital?" Four eyes asked.

"No. Just let her get some sleep. She didn't sleep last night either." IcyHot sighed before picking her up and taking her to her room. I groaned and drank from the can.
