♡Kiri's pov♡

Tori was sitting on the couch in the common area alone on her phone so I thought this would be the perfect time to ask her

"Hey Tori, do you maybe wanna go to the arcade with me?"

Please say yes

"Sure I guess..."

Yes!

"I'll text Kat and-"

"Uh... Actually I was thinking maybe just you and me..." I bit my lip nervous on her reaction

"Just the two of us?" She asked tilting her head

"Y-yeah... but if you only wanna go if we invite the oth-"

"Okay lets go"

"Really?"

"Don't make me change my mind"

YES!

♡at the arcade♡

"I challenge you!" I told Tori just for some fun

"Challenge me?" She asked raising an eyebrow

"Yes! Whoever can win the most games has to do a dare"

"What's the dare"

"Whatever the winner wants"

"You realize that's you're gonna do one of MY dares?"

"I think it's the other way around"

"You're seriously challenging me?"

"Yes"

"This is going to be the biggest mistake of your life. You're on"

♡2 hours later♡

"How have you won every game?" I said is disbelief

"You're just really bad at video games"

"No im not, you're just really good at them"

"I warned you... now for your dare..."

"No, we're not done yet"

"Are you serious?"

"Dead serious" Viktoriya sighed

"well I'm hungry so you can play your games but I'm gonna go to the cafe across the street"

"Why don't we go there, get a bite, then come back"

"You really wanna win... even though you know you never will"

"I will!"

♡at the cafe♡

"So Viktoriya, why did you want to go to UA? I mean obviously you wanted to be a hero, I know that Bakubro is doing it to be the best. But truly, why are you doing it?"

"Why do you care?"

"Well I kinda wanna get to know you better. I barely know you on a personal level"

"And why do you wanna know me on a personal level?"

"Well... uh... it's good to know anyone on a personal level"

"I don't get that but whatever..." there was a small silence between us "I want to become a hero because I wanna be better"

"Better?"

"Better than Katsuki at something... anything really"

"Really?"

"I want to prove myself worthy"

"Worthy?"

"Are you just gonna keep repeating the last word I say?"

"Sorry..."

"My entire life I've been compared to Katsuki by everyone. I've never been better than him at anything. Well there's one thing I'm better than him at but that's academics and who really cares about academic intelligence when it comes to being a hero anyways? For everything else, it's either we're the same or he's better. I want to prove myself. I want to prove that I am worthy of being a great hero. An even better hero than Katsuki."

"So you don't actually want to be a hero?"

"I do want to be a hero. I like helping people and I want to help people but..." I realized what I was saying and stopped

"Wait say that again"

"What?"

"For a sec I thought you said you like helping people"

"N-no I didn't"

"I'm pretty sure you did"

"Shut up"

"Tori, if you like to help people then why are you hiding it?"

"I told you I didn't say that!"

"It's okay that you did"

"So what if I did? Huh?"

"Tori, if you like helping people then why do you always act like it's such a burden when people ask you for help."

"..."

"Tori if you like helping people then let people know it. The same thing goes for your love for astronomy. Why hide it when you love it so much"

"My reputation..."

"Is your reputation that important to you?"

"My reputation... and Katsukis. If people know I can be I guess soft is what you'd call it, they'd use it against both me and Katsuki. But if they don't know in the first place, i won't get hurt again"

"Again?"

"I look up to my brother... a lot. He doesn't let shit get to him. He doesn't give a shit on what people think of him. He's genuinely strong, smart, and let's be real, super good looking. I don't have that. I'm just... well... Bakugou's twin sister. My whole life that's what I was known as. But do you blame them? I'm basically a female off-brand Katsuki. I wish I was more than that. But I'm not. Let's face it, I'm not as intimidating as I want to be. People are only scared of me because they're scared of him."

"Tori, that's not true. Yeah your brother is pretty damn cool but you're better than you think. You're worth so much more than you know. Honestly I kinda prefer you over your brother. Although you don't show it, you're kind and smart and just overall amazing. You need to see yourself the same way I see you. Believe in yourself just as much as I believe in you"
