Listen (Bakugo Katsuki x Reader)

Chapter 12

Lunchtime
"Everyone's so into it." My freckled friend quivered beside me.

"You're not? We have enrolled here to become heroes, so ofcourse we would get fired up." Iida stood up wiggling his fists in front of him and dancing a bit as well. I laughed at his sudden gesture.

"Iida-chan, you have a unique way of getting fired up. It's weird." Tsuyu said seated in front of Iida.

"Midoriya-kun, don't you feel the same? How about you, L/N-kun?" Iida suddenly karate chopped in front of me and Izuku.

"Ofcourse I do. But something's..." Izuku said raising his eyebrows. But before I could reply or ask Izuku what's bothering him, we were cut off by a sudden graspy voice.

"Deku-kun, Iida-kun, Y/N-chan... let's do our best at the sports festival." Ochaco said knitting her eyebrows, her face emitting an ominous aura.

"O-Ochaco-chan? A-are you okay?" I asked in fear. It's scary how determination could change a person's expression. Did I look like that a while ago whilst staring at Katsuki?

"Uraraka-san, your face...! It's..." Izuku stuttered beside me.

"Everyone, I'm gonna do my best!" Ochaco yelled raising her fist in the air still upholding her determined face. I couldn't help but chuckle at my earnest friend while she went on persuading others that she'll do her best. Seeing her like that, I realized that all of us here were really working hard to achieve our dreams. Not just me...

"Okay okay. Ochaco-chan, how about we eat some lunch first? Izuku, Iida-kun, too." I told her gently placing my hands on her shoulders. The three turned to look at me and agreed, calming Ochaco a little bit.

As we head to the Cafeteria, Izuku went on to ask Ochaco why she decided to pursue becoming a Pro Hero and enter UA. We all were flabbergasted by her answer. Not because it was unheroic, but because it was unusual especially if you take her personality into consideration. Becoming a hero for money...

I held both of Ochaco's hands as she gazed upon the ground. When she looked towards me, I gave her the sweetest smile I could ever make.

"Let's do our best, Ochaco-chan." I told her to which she smiled back at.

"BRAVO! URARAKA-KUN, BRAVO!" Iida-kun bellowed as he clapped his hands in the air making Ochaco giggle a little.

"How about you Y/N-chan? Why did you enter UA and become a Pro Hero?" Ochaco asked me with a glint of curiousness in her eyes. Cold sweat ran down my forehead as I try to think of an answer. Should I tell them because of my deceased father's dream? But what if they ask too many questions about it. I don't want to be rude and not answer them. Should I just make up something like, I admire the uniform here?

"Uhm... I..." I stammered as I try to calm myself down with six eagle-like eyes trying to get an answer from me.

Suddenly, a loud and graspy laugh could be heard approaching us. As they averted their attention, I sighed in relief and saw that All Might was the one running towards us.

"Young Midoriya is here!" He said as he pointed at the surprised Izuku beside us.

"All Might? What's the matter?" Izuku asked.

"Lunch! Wanna eat together? How about it?" All Might asked. Woooow. Izuku gets to eat with the number one hero. Luckyyyy.

Izuku turned to look at us, as if asking for our permission. Iida nodded while I mouthed 'Enjoy' to him. Izuku smiled back at us and ran towards All Might.

"I'd love to." Izuku responded. We watched Izuku disappear with All Might. I'm sure all three of us had some unanswered questions in our minds, but I wanted to pay no heed to it. It's Izuku's business after all.
