"Nomu," Shiggy says. "Take out that explosive brat. We need our escape route back."
I watch Nomu regenerate, secretly hoping that he doesn't. I hate pro hero scum as much as the next guy, but I grew a liking to that Katsuki. He's the most interesting person I've met in a long time, and I'd be kinda sad to see him go.
Deku shakes in his boots. "What the- I thought his quirk was shock absorption!"
Shiggy then boasts about the damn zombie, saying the same lines about it that he's rehearsed over and over again in the bathroom mirror.
And just like that, Nomu begins to charge. I do nothing but watch as the monster grows nearer and nearer to my kittykat, and I begin to get a sick feeling.
Before I even realize what I'm doing, I snap my fingers. I snap twice in less than a second, one to grab Katsuki and another to bring him to safety.
Fuck, why did I do that?! Shiggy's gonna kill me!
I look up at my boyfriend to see the look on his face, and I shudder. I gotta go talk to him.
I immediately glitch to Shiggy's side, and pretend to fight him. "Hey, alleycat," I say apologetically, as I glitch all around him, landing superficial hits here and there.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, Aerie?" he says as he blocks my attacks with ease, like he's done so many times before. "Why are you interfering with my work?"
"Listen, I just didn't want the blonde one to die. He's fun to mess with at school."
"When we're done with this job, you won't be in school anymore."
"Yeah, but if Nomu fails then-"
"Nomu is not going to fail."
"Yeah, but just in case-"
"He's not."
"Yeah but if-"
Shiggy snatches my left hand from the air. "I said he's not going to fail."
"I mean, there's always a chance-"
Shiggy grabs me under my arms and swift kicks my feet before slamming me on the ground. He then takes his boot and stomps on my hand, squishing it like a bug. I let out a small yelp of pain as I feel several bones in my hand crunch and crack under his weight.
Fucking bastard! Going after my hand?! That's a low blow, even for him. I must've really pissed him off.
He then wraps his hand tightly around my throat, dragging me back up to my feet. His face shows no emotion as he squeezes my neck so hard that I can't breathe. He raises his arm higher and higher, going as far as to lift me an inch off the ground. "Are you listening now?" he growls.
Wow. Shiggy's gotten pretty strong. Kinda sexy.
My peripheral vision starts to darken, and I begin to feel weak.
Then, suddenly, we're both knocked to the ground. I look up to my right to see what the hell just happened, to see none other than Katsuki Bakugo sitting there.
Oh, shit. Shiggy is not going to be happy about this. Whatsoever. I saved the guy, just for him to interfere with our personal conversation? Not a good look for me.
Katsuki quickly grabs my right hand. "Get us the hell out of here!" he yells.
"I can't you idiot, my hand is fucked!"
Shiggy reaches out and wraps his hand around my ankle, and it slowly begins to crack and crumble in an achingly painful way.
Prick! Using his quirk on me?! We had an agreement!
I kick him in the face. "Let go of me, you bastard!" I yell.
I'm gonna give this guy a serious piece of my mind when I see him again.
And before I know it, Katsuki has picked me up off the ground, ripping my ankle out of Shiggy's grasp. "Hold on!" he yells.
Before I can weigh the pros and cons of letting this guy take me away from my irate boyfriend, I wrap my arm around his shoulder, letting him propel us back to where Deku is standing.
My heart sinks as I look back and see my Shiggy still on the ground, burned from Katsuki's explosions. I want nothing more than to run to him, apologize, kiss his wounds, and go home together in our warm bed.
When me and Katsuki land, he shoves me off of him. "Run, you idiot!" he shouts, and we sprint back to where our other classmates are standing.
"Guys, what gives?" says Kiri, seeming concerned.
"This idiot went off my herself and almost got killed by the hand guy," Katsuki replies.
"Shut up!" I yell, still pretty mad that his little stunt is not going to go over well with my easily angered boyfriend. "I would've been fine."
"How?! He was Darth Vader-ing your ass! He was 2 seconds away from crumbling you to pieces!"
"Well what about you attacking that warp gate and almost getting mauled by Nomu?! If I hadn't glitched you out of there you'd be dead!" I fold my arms. Shiggy's gonna hate me now, all because of him. "I told you we shouldn't try to take on these guys," I say, shaking my head.
"Oh 'we shouldnt take on these guys'? Yet after glitching me you went to 1v1 the leader?!"
"Guys, calm down!" says Kiri as he breaks us up, standing between us. "Kai, you saved Bakugo. Bakugo, you returned the favor. You're even-steven! No point in arguing about it now."
I mean, I guess he was just trying to help. That's probably the nicest thing the angry boy has ever done for me. It was kinda sweet, now that I think about it.
"Yeah, and what do you know, shitty hair?!" Katsuki yells.
I roll my eyes. "Shut up, Bakugo. Kiri's right. We're even." I sigh, glancing over at the sweet little redhead. "Even-steven."
