(Y/N's POV)

Waking up to my alarm at 6 am was one thing, but physically getting out of bed was another. I don't want to look at Bakugo's dense face, but I want to at least see Kirishima.

I groan loudly and hop out of bed. I put on the school uniform, silently hating myself for getting out of bed. I should've faked being sick...

I put on my usual makeup and glance at the clock.

"6:45? Shit!"

Leaving my hair down the way it is, I grab my bag and rush out the door, saying goodbye to mom.

Halfway to school, my stomach grumbles heavily. I sigh.

"I forgot to grab breakfast when I ran out, damn it.."

"Want some granola?"

I turn and see the spikey haired shark holding out a granola bar, munching on one at the same time. 

"I always have granola with me, so take some! You gotta eat, especially going into our hero courses" He smiles down at me. I feel my cheeks blush and take the bar. 

"Thanks Kiri, you're a lifesaver!" 

We walk the rest of the way together in silence. It was a comfortable silence, words not needed to express our emotions. We both are happy and excited to be in each other's presence again. 

Entering the doors of UA, I get a sudden feeling of panic. My heart constricts in my chest and I clench it with my hand. 

"Hey, (Y/N), what's wrong?" Kiri asks me, grabbing my free arm to keep me standing. I take a few deep breaths before speaking.

"Something is making my body panic. I'm not sure what..." I confess, as he nods and continues to help me to class. 

"Let's just take it easy today, and keep your guard up if needed. Give me a signal if it happens again, alright?" He looks at me with concern. I nod and thank him for helping me to my seat. 

"HEY DUMBASS!" I hear the damn boy scream. Not thinking it was towards me, I place my head on my desk, still catching my breath from the random feeling my body experienced. A few seconds later, a hand slams onto my desk, making me jump. The panic feeling comes back as I clench my chest once more. I feel a second presence behind me.

"Bakugo, leave her. She needs a few minutes to herself-" 

"Fuck off, Shitty Hair. Jigglypuff, I need to talk to you" Bakugo looks at me. I try to speak, but my body is still in shock. 

"Hey, what's going on?" Bakugo says, his voice calm and less...loud?

I hold a finger up to him, Kirishima's grip tightening on my shoulder. I take a few seconds to allow my body to relax before speaking. 

"Do you need to talk to me now?" I ask him politely. 

"Yes." He rolls his eyes. I don't know why, but my gut tells me to follow him outside. I stand him to follow him, Kiri's grip still on my shoulder like a protective boyfriend. Which is weird but...kind of comforting. 

"I'll see you in a few, Kiri" I turn to him and smile, cueing him to let go of me, which he does. He smiles back and sends a look to Bakugo as he takes his seat. I follow Bakugo outside to the empty hallway. 

"Look. I wanted to say I'm sorry for calling you a villain. That was uncalled for. But I'm still going to crush you, you damn extra" He says to me, with a bit of genuine emotion behind his words. I smile. 

"Apology accepted. Was that all?" I ask him. 

"What's going on with you? Clenching your chest like that in class? Was that because of me?" He questions me. The look in his eyes showing concern and fear. I shake my head, seeing his eyes relax after knowing it's not his fault. 

"I walked into the building and felt a sudden panic, and my gut was telling me that something bad was going to happen today. So I'm just keeping my guard up" I tell him the truth, not knowing why I did, but I don't regret it. 

"Who else have you told?" He walks closer to me, making me backup to keep space until my back hits a wall. He continues to get close until there is less than a foot between us.

"Just you and Kiri, but I don't see why-" 

"Keep it that way. We can't create panic within the school, that's a dumb move"

"I wasn't gonna do anything about it, what do you think-" 

"You're able to force others to feel what you want them to, so I think I trust you more than anyone when you say something may happen. If your body felt panic, then listen to it. It may be part of your Quirk too." Bakugo lectures. My eyes widen, not thinking that much about it. My face heats up as he chuckles and gets closer. 

"What, am I making you blush? Tch, you damn Jigglypuff." He chuckles and backs up, giving me one more glance and walks back to class. As soon as he's out of sight, I let out a breath that I was apparently holding in, feeling butterflies all over my body. 

What the fuck?  

I walk back to class after relaxing, Kiri's eyes lock with mine as I smile, letting him know that I'm okay. My body starts to feel butterflies again when he returns the smile. I walk by Bakugo's desk and feel my cheeks start to get flustered again. I quickly sit at my desk and put my head down as Aizawa starts talking about the class going on a field trip off campus. 

Why does my heart feel this weird near both of them? They both are very attractive, I won't lie about that...but it's only my second day here, this is insane. Maybe I need to just hang out with them both at the same time to see? No that's stupid, maybe if I-

"Hey (Y/N) / Dumbass!" I hear two voices call out to me. I snap back to reality as both boys are standing around my desk. 

"Let's go, we're heading out on the field trip now. You're sitting with me" Bakugo says. 

"Hey man, that's not manly, let her choose who she wants to sit with, whether it's you..." Kiri looks back at me and winks "or ME"

"I can always sit with one of the girls if you guys are gonna fight about it. Or sit by myself" I say, walking in front of them towards the rest of the class. I hear both of the stumble on their words. 

"Well I mean you can sit with whoever you want, but I, well, it would be manly if you sat with me-" 

"Hey don't just walk away from me you extra, that's, uh, that's pretty fucked up of you-" 

I chuckle and turn back around to them. Blushes are apparent on both of their faces. 

Oh, so it's not just me who feels flustered now, huh?

"We'll see who I sit next to, but let's go!" I say, walking in front of both of them. Bakugo does his usual "tch", pushing past Kirishima and following me.
