Cover is a commission from a different artist!!
A compilation of one-shots or short stories based off my MHA OC Fanfic, "I Provide Protection".
The extra tidbits and side stories of Hitomi Kanetsukabe and her adventures with Class 1-A.
Infrequent up...
A/N: Takes place in between Ch. 20 (Study Buddies) and Ch. 21 (Final Exams Pt. 1).
THIS TOOK ME THREE WHOLE MONTHS TO WRITE. AND EVEN LONGER TO FINALLY DRAW THE ART FOR IT O_O
This idea came to me late at night when I was struggling to fall asleep. It offers more insight to Bakugou and Hitomi's relationship since I felt it was a little too lacking around this point (given she's supposed to be the "buffer" between Bakugou and Deku in the Final Exams), so I felt this makes it feel more developed and fleshed out! It also helps set up the Final Exams arc a bit better in my opinion ^^ The first portion of this side story utilizes one of the chapters in the second light novel, where Kirishima and Bakugou run into Bakugou's old middle school friends. Enjoy :)

"Wait. Don't fucking tell me..."
Hitomi froze, holding back a sigh as she heard Bakugou growl from across the table.
She didn't move, her eyes moving up slightly to see Bakugou glare at Kirishima next to him.
"You bastard!" the blonde scowled, his volume rising. "You better not ask me to teach you something as basic as the multiplication table!"
"I know how to do the multiplication table, dammit!!!"

"Shh!!!"
Hitomi felt her cheeks warm slightly, slouching in her seat as she tried to subtly cover her face with her hand. She could feel the stares of the others in the library, seeing some had their fingers pressed to their lips as they scrutinized the trio.
Hitomi, Kirishima, and Bakugou had met at a public library, back together again for yet another study session for the final exams. Bakugou had been "helping" Kirishima with math for the last half-hour, while Hitomi was trying to review Modern Japanese Literature on her own.
Kirishima apologized to the strangers sheepishly, running his hand through his spiky hair. His face was red with embarrassment from what Hitomi guessed was not just the attention of everyone around them, but also Bakugou's accusation that he didn't know something you learned in back elementary school.
Bakugou suddenly laughed, Hitomi's eyes widening at the genuine smile on the blonde's face. "Holy shit. You're so lame, haha!"
That... was unexpected.
Kirishima's embarrassment worsened as Bakugou continued to laugh at him. "You're the one who said I didn't even know the multiplication table!" he shot back. He then turned to the people around them, bending his head down in a small bow. "Sorry...! Don't mind us!"
Hitomi finally let out the sigh she was holding back, putting her pencil down as Kirishima continued to apologize.
She'd thought the first study session was going to be all. When Hitomi had initially gotten the text from her friend vehemently asking for help studying with finals (specifically English), she'd thought to herself, "No big deal." Plus, she was definitely willing to offer the redhead help, Kiri was her friend after all!
