A Mutant's Hero Academia [BNHA & X-men Crossover]

THIRTY SIX

The rumors regarding Yumi had dissipated as quickly as they had appeared. It was a no-brainer since the ones who started them were faced with suspension.

And for those in class A, some were too dense to hear the chatter going on, others not even sparing or engaging in the gossip, and some just flat out rejecting the possibility of it being true on the spot.

When the bell rang for lunch break and the class headed to the cafeteria, Yumi sat snugly between Ochako and Tsuyu while Todoroki, Midoriya and Iida sat opposite them. At this point of the semester, Yumi seemed to really merge into her class as people sat together to eat.

"Y'know Bakugou isn't cute at all!" Out of nowhere, Kaminari popped up complaining, a lonely tear on his eye as he squeezed himself between Izuku and Shouto.

"Huh?"

"What is it now?"

Kaminari sniffled, pointing to the comically large bump on the side of his head. "Can't you see this? Bakugou did it!"

"What did you do?" Tsuyu asked in an accusatory manner.

"Bakugou was walking in front of me, so I thought I would just hit his knees as a joke!" The blonde exclaimed, apparently seeing that tripping the time bomb was nothing out of the ordinary.

"You're the one in the wrong here..." Yumi said, a shallow crease arising between her eyebrows.

"Why?! I just wanted to play around like a normal high school student! There is nothing wrong with it?!"

"Why would you even wanna do that to Kacchan..." Midoriya sweat dropped, giggling nervously.

"Whenever you think of doing something like that from now on, just imagine Bakugou-kun is a big lion, and you're a cat, it wouldn't end well for you either way." Uraraka chimed in, pointing out the Pikachu's fault.

'That's such a good image...' Everyone thought in unison.

"Mi-chan, you bring a packed lunch to school? That's kind of unexpected." Asui said a few moments later as the group began to dig into their food trays.

Yumi blinked a few times before glancing down to her meal. "Ah, yeah, my mom insisted." She explained. The redhead was excited to eat one of her mother's prepared meals as it had been a long time ever since Chiharu started her ballet instructor job.

"Oh, Yumi, that looks good! Can I have a bite?" Kaminari, who was still at their table for some reason, leaned in closer and opened his mouth wide.

"Kaminari-kun! Don't display any uncouth behavior on the lunch table!" Iida scolded the boy while Todoroki halted slurping his soba to send him a scrutinizing look.

Kaminari simply shrugged. "It's fine, isn't it?"

"No, way." Unexpectedly, Yumi held the box closer to her as she shook her head. A small pout taking residence on her lips. "I'm not giving you any." Her green eyes sparkled slightly and there was a tiny dust of pink on her cheeks as she whispered with wavering composure.

'W-What a cute expression...!' If it was possible for Kaminari's own electricity to disrupt the pacing of his heart, send him into arrest, and take him to heaven, then that was probably how he was feeling at the moment.

"Sorry, it's just that it's been a while since my mom made one for me." She said, a droplet of sweat trickling down her cheek. "But if you want, I can bring you one that I make sometime."

"Seriously?!" From the sheer excitement, Kaminari slammed his hands on the table as he happily exclaimed. And she responded with a curt nod.

"Me, too."
