You Make My Heart Go Boom

A Hero

Bakugo POV

As I was finishing up some work for a class in the library, I hear something on the roof.

"What are you waiting for? Maybe a hero will save you, who knows? Go ahead, jump!"

This isn't right. I don't even know this extra. But I can't let a suicide happen, knowing I could have stopped it.

I run as fast as I can to the roof.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU BASTARDS DOING?!" I yell. 

There's a kid with black hair at the edge of the roof. He looks at me with fear in his eyes. 

There are three other kids there. The one closest to the charcoal-haired boy gives me a death stare.

"This is none of your business."

"I think the fuck it is, asshole. Let him go, or fight me," I spit.

"No, I don't think I will."

Be that way then.

I start running towards Asshole, while signaling Crybaby to run. I make over 10 explosions, each bigger than the last.

This kid is hard to fight. I think he can turn objects into other things. That's going to be problematic.

Kirishima POV

The boy who ran through the door gives me a signal. I'm pretty sure I have to run. I shove the long-nosed boy away and make a run for it. 

Dammit, I'm such a coward! Why am I running! I have to go back and help!

I dash back to the roof and harden as much of my arms and chest as I can. I take the bully's two cronies by surprise, and knock them out. Blasty gives me a quick glance, almost as if to say, "Why the hell aren't you running?"

I pay no attention. 

"Hey. I'm sorry for doing nothing. I should have done something."

"That doesn't matter anymore. Make yourself useful. I've been holding back because I don't want to hurt you."

"I can defend myself."

He nods, and I do my thing. Then, he uses the biggest explosion I've ever seen. Remind me to never make him mad. 

The bully gets knocked out, and the blonde boy yells at me to run. We both hurry down the stairs into the library. 

By the time we get there, we're out of breath. 

"What were you doing?" he asks.

"I was just sitting on the roof when they came up. They know I have insecurities, they're the reason for them."

"Damn bastards," he grumbles.

"Oh, what's your name? I never caught it!" I say.

"Bakugo," he growls. He seems like the angry type. 

"Cool, Bakugo! Mine's Kirishima!"

"Say, Kirishima. What's that quirk of yours. Not many people are able to withstand my blasts."

"Hardening," I say sheepishly, while rubbing the back of my neck. "It's not as flashy as yours, and it's not that strong."

"Not that strong, my ass. Like I said, not many people can deal with my explosion. You should train your quirk more. Look. You have all those bruises."

I look down at my arms. He's right. I'm covered in minor bruises. 

"It's nothing! I can get it fixed up!" I laugh.

He turns away. 

"I'll be seeing you soon, eh, Bakugo?"

"Yeah, you will. I recognize you from math class."

"Oh, okay! See ya!" 

"Bye."

As I walk away, I feel like my heart is doing somersaults. Why?
