The Festival was as grand as everyone said. 
It was like a colosseum, with a massive seating area surrounding a field. The sight of all the people made you nervous, sending a shiver up your spine.

1-A sat in the waiting room, and you stared down at your hands, thoughts running a mile a minute. 
Moments later, something shook you out of your daze. 

"Woah, what's with all the declarations of war?" Kirishima said, standing from his chair. You arched a brow, pulling out one of your earphones. 
Shoto and Izuku seemed to be at a standoff.
Wait. ...What?

Shoto's gaze was icy, calculating. He moved to walk away, when Izuku spoke up. "Sure, you might be stronger than me." He said. "But I'll be trying my best out there. I won't lose." 
You watched as Shoto retreated, fists clenched and eyes narrowed. 
What happened?

~...~

"Introducing Hero Class 1-A!" Present Mic yelled from up in his booth. "This class fought against villains and survived!"

"And here comes Hero Class 1-B! Followed by our general studies and support classes, Classes C, D, E, F, G, and H!"

"Wow, favoritism much?" Someone from the support class said. 

"And now, the first-year representative, Aki Mikumo!" 
You groaned as Uraraka 'helpfully' pushed you to the stage. 

You approached the mic, leaning down to speak. "Uh. Hi." You scanned the crowd, and everyone who wasn't in your class was glaring. 

"So, I know we all haven't gotten off on the best foot here. Honestly, I can understand why. But hey, we all go to the same school right? We all pretty much have the same goals, too. With the attack the other day, it seems like villains are only just getting stronger. I'll get to the point. Separated, we won't be able to do much. But if we work together, I'm sure we can do anything we put our minds to." You grinned. "Having said that, let's all have a day of fun! Go beyond!" 

And your little speech seemed to make multiple students happy. 
Everyone, even the audience cheered with you. 
"PLUS ULTRA!" 

You stepped off the stage, and Midnight continued speaking. 
"What a wonderful speech! Moving on, let's see what our first event is!" 
She spun the wheel and cracked her whip just as it stopped. 

"An obstacle course! This is very self-explanatory, so just stay on the track, otherwise, you'll be disqualified!" 

~...~

Bakugo blasted past you just as you were crossing the minefield, "Your declaration of war was to the wrong person, Icy-Hot!" He roared, pushing Shoto. 

After Shoto's demonstration at the beginning of the race, and his declaration against Izuku, you knew something had happened, but the two-toned boy wouldn't tell you what

With a huff, you sped up, stepping over the mines intricately. Moments later, there was a loud explosion that nearly knocked you over, and you whipped around. Izuku appeared from through the pink mist, rocketing past both Shoto and Bakugo.

"What the fu-?!"

"What's this?! Izuku Midoriya from Hero Class 1-A shoots forward, using the mines to his advantage? Just what the hell are you teaching these kids, Eraser?"

"Nothing special. They've all learned to take action."

"You heard it here, folks! Eraserhead is a terrible teacher!"

You had to stifle a laugh at that as you were reaching the end of the minefield.

"I'm what?" 

You took off, trailing behind Bakugo and Shoto. As soon as you entered the tunnel, you heard, "Izuku Midoriya takes first place in the obstacle course! Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugo are following close behind with second and third!"

The light on the other side of the tunnel was your only motivation to speed up even more as you heard the shouts of your classmates echoing through the enclosed space.

"And Aki Mikumo comes in fourth!" 

You hunched over, breathing heavily as the students began to file into the field. 

All students are allowed a five-minute break before we continue to the next event." This time it was Eraserhead's voice echoing throughout the stadium. 

And so, you return to the waiting room for 1-A.

~...~

The second event was about to start, and you were heading back to the field when suddenly, you caught sight of something red in your peripheral vision. 
You turned your head. "Oh my god, what-" 

"Hi there, Y/N!" 

You weren't ever going to get used to the telepathic voice speaking to you. "What are you- aren't you that fox that I-" 

"Healed? Yes, I am!" 

"...Did you come with Shoto?" 

"...You could say that." 

You groaned, dragging a hand over your face. "You followed him, didn't you." 

"Well-" 

That's when you heard it. 

"Shoto, enough of this phase of yours. You could have made it to first place in the last round if it wasn't for your temper tantrum."

You frowned, peaking around the corner. "Great. Who invited the dumpster fire? No wonder Shoto's been acting weird all day." 

"We've talked about this multiple times, father. I will not use your power." 

You furrowed your brows, and Shoto's footsteps approached you. 
He turned the corner, and stared at you. 

"What are you doing here?" He looked down at the fox.

"That's not important, ice-man. Why didn't you tell me your shithead of a dad was putting more pressure on you? I could've-" 

"Helped?" He hissed. "I'm not some weakling who needs help." 

You gaped at the boy. "Ok, so, I'm going to ignore that because I know you're not in the right mindset right now." You said, frowning. "But seriously, Shoto?" 

He knit his brows. "Not in the right mindset? Oh, I assure you, Y/N, I'm thinking just fine right now." 

"No, you're clearly not." You paused. "Are you ok?" 
"I'm just fine." 

"You're not, Shoto. I can tell, believe me." 

"I don't need you. I don't need anyone." And although that offended you a bit, you had to remind yourself that he didn't really mean that, that he didn't mean anything he was saying. 

And then he pushed past you.
He bumped into you as he walked.
On purpose. 

Shoto had put up a wall, and you didn't know how to break past it.
