Can you see me yet

part one

--- September

"Kacchan! Just give it a try, come onnnnnnn!"

I waved a book in front of his face. "You won't regret it, trust me!"

He stood up and turned his back towards me, "I'm not reading any book recommended to me by a loser like you." He walked all around All Might's office, only to find himself sitting back at the couch he just left from.

"Awh but you might really like it you know. I promise not to spoil the ending." My face lit up into a bright smile, a small laugh escaping from my lips.

"You know... Young Bakugou, when I was about your age my master gave me that very same book to read. To this day it is still one of my favorites." All Might chimed in from across the room.

He dramatically crossed his arms across his chest. "Huh!? Are you trying to imply that damn Deku is like a master to me? I'm always going to be above that nerd!"

"Hmm alright then, I guess I'll just take my cherished, most amazing, best written, fantastic book back to my room since no one else wants it...." I tried my best to force out a theatrical sigh while not breaking out into laughter.

"Hmp. Good for you then, I don't care"

"My all time favorite, breathtaking, astonishing, outstanding-"

"ARGHHH! FINE I'LL TAKE THE DAMN BOOK, JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!"

I shot up from my seat on the couch. "Did you hear that All Might? Seems like he really does want to read it after all. I knew it, I knew it, I -"

His hand threw itself strongly on top of my head from behind. "Yeah, yeah, we get it already. Can I have the book already? Tch."

I turned around, creating eye contact with him. "I thought you'd never ask, Kacchan."
