The Secret Lovers (An IzuOcha FanFic)

Chapter 19

Bakugo POV:

I lock my gauntlets on my wrist, walking out onto the campus. I watch as several of my classmates await for further instruction. As expected, some of those extras didn't show up. Typical. Hating that nerd's father is one thing, but even as his rival, I can't ignore the help he given most of these morons.

I see IcyHot, Glasses, Shitty Hair, Dunce Face, Ears and a couple of others, all donning their hero costume.

"Tch, where's the rest of the idiots?" Dunce Face looked up concern, adjusting his visor. "They aren't coming, some of the other classes are even protesting to Principal Nezu."

Shitty Hair grit his teeth. "It's not fair! Midoriya is one of the manliest people I know. Your past shouldn't mean that you're a terrible person."

"Unfortunately, Young Kirishima, that's the world we live in."

All conversation stopped when Aizawa. All Might and Round Face walk towards the group. "Aizawa here have already contacted some local heroes to help us, ones who support Young Midoriya wholeheartedly. As you know, the plan is to-"

"Hold on, old man." I felt all eyes turn to me, watching my every movement. "Round Face shouldn't be here.

"Don't get me wrong, the more help, the better. But she isn't in any condition to help us right now." I knew most would probably take it the wrong way, but we didn't need any more casualties on our hands.

"Young Bakugo, please, mind your manners. Uraraka's right here."

"All the more reason to be upfront and honest. We're losing support as is, all because Deku's father is a rancid potato with ulterior motives. Of course, that nerd wants to take on the burden all for himself, it's in his nature. When we leave here, we're going against everyone. If you aren't prepared for that backlash," I pointed my fingers at the group, "then leave now."

No one spoke, no one moved. Except for Round Face who walked towards me.

"I'm not going anywhere, Bakugo."

"You prepared to die?"

"Always."

"If Deku dies?"

"..." I watched her trace the scar on her cheek, which I assumed came from that blond psychopath.

"I failed once. I won't fail again. No matter what the world throws at us, we're heroes, right?" She pumped her fist into the air, standing strong and head held high. I remember the same pose All Might took on his last day of hero work, taking down All for One.

I remember watching him cry that day. There's so much I don't know, who was those tears really for? Deku, do you understand how much this girl is willing to risk to keep you safe?

"We can't continue holding back, let's go all out! PLUS ULTRA!" Her voice yelled loudly, as her gaze filled with determination. I watch each of my clsssmates raised their arms, voicing their agreement. I sigh, smirking.

"Screw it, let's kill those bastards. Plus ultra!"

All Might clapped in agreement, tears streaming down his face. "Get ready to move guys, follow Aizawa to the car."

I walk forward, before All Might step into my way. "Just so you know, Young Uraraka know now the secrets of One for All. I felt that she deserved to know, especially being so close to Young Midoriya."

"Huh? What that gotta do with me?"

"Because," Round Face interjected, "One for All is what's going to track Deku."
