18 - Nikkō

Flashback

The image of Midoriya And (Y/N) flashed as children admiring Bakugo do tricks with a yellow ball.

"Wow, Kacchan!"

"Nikkō, You're so cool!"

"This is easy!"

"Ow," the little boy yelped after failing to attempt a ball trick himself.

"Izuku, you really can't do anything, can you?"

"Stop being so mean, Nikkō, " a small voice squeaked

I flinched as I watched her stare at me. Her eyes eventually softened and she grabbed my hand, now walking me over to Izuku, "Are you okay, Midoriya?"

The bright-eyed boy smiled, "Yeah!"

I eyed a bucket, a light bulb flickered as I reread Izuku's name pasted on it. (Y/N) would find that hilarious!

"Hey Izuku, You can read the characters for 'Izuku' as 'Deku', you know."

"Kacchan, you can read?"

"You can't?" I asked proudly, now resting my hands on my hips.

"And 'Deku' means someone who can't do anything!"

"Really?" the group awed

"Stop that..." Midoriya frowned.

I looked over at (Y/N), Her face expressing disappointment.

My thoughts raced as I panicked.

I walked over to (Y/N), My face inches from hers. Her upset face changed to shock at how close I stood to her.
I lifted my hand to my head, making sure to keep my palm flat. I kept it level while I swept it over her head, bringing attention to our obvious height difference.

"(Y/N), you're really short!"

"I'm only a few inches shorter!" She pouted.

"You're small, (Y/N)! Like a bug!" I chortle at my remark.

I crouched down and using my finger, drew various characters.
"That says 'Nomi'. "

I stood up to see her keenly staring at my eyes, I could feel my face heat up.
I pointed a finger, inches from her face, "You're small! Like a Nomi! And 'Nomi' means 'flea'! You're a little Flea!" I teased.

"St-stop it, Nikkō..."

Nikkō... How long has it been since she's called me that...

Flashback

The water glimmered as it turned calmy while the sun gently kissed its rays on its reflective surface. Its azure colour made the skipping rock easy to spot as it glided down the steam. A good throw for rock skipping having managed to skip seven times before sinking to the unsighted depths below.

The ground contrasted its grey concrete to the waters while in the upper back laid the sloping emerald grass which they used to lie on during lazy afternoons, where the sun was high and the breeze was perfect. Not this afternoon, however, they decided to skip rocks today. And naturally, Bakugo was at the top of his game. His inflated ego took in all the comments of astonishment.

"Wow!"

"-That's Kacchan for ya!"

The boy turned to the smaller, more reserved boy, "What about you, Deku?"

His eyebrows furrowed, his cheeks turned pink and he brought his hands close to his body. "Zero Times," He admitted shamefully, his lip now trembling slightly.
