MHA: The Order of Revelation

Chapter 3: Move Forward

Three days passed since the trio had met the twin sister of the new transfer student, Lindsey. Midoriya and Todoroki would often visit her after school and tell her about their days. Bakugo couldn't really be bothered but finally went when Aizawa threatened to suspend his provincial Heroes license. Iida stated he was sure Aizawa couldn't do that, but Bakugo didn't take any chances so, he would visit every other day or so. He'd sit there and listen to the two others ramble on about stupid stuff. Finally, about a month later, he entered the room. Neither of his classmates were there. They wouldn't be. It was Sunday. Todoroki was with his sister and brother, and that damned Deku was training. This was possibly his chance to find out something that was bugging him about her.

"tsk they can't even keep you're damn curtains open!?" He growled as he stomped into her room. He threw open the curtains and pulled up the shade. "The hell do they expect you to get any better if they keep you like this, Fucking idiots He sat in the chair in front of her as she stared into space. Her head turned instantly to the brightness of the window. She squinted at the bright light. Were the teachers really actually trying to help her? Fucking A

"Oi Princess." He growled slightly and put a hand on each side of her face and turned her head to look at him. He noticed immediately that her body tensed and her eyes widened instantly filling with tears.

"If you don't talk about it, you're never going to move forward. If you do nothing and listen to that damned half and half Bastard and that idiot Deku, you aren't going to get anywhere. I don't know what you've been through, frankly, I couldnt care. But, I've been given his damn job to help you. And because Im going to be the damn best Hero that ever existed, I'm going to be the one to fix you. So tell me, what the fuck happened to you?

Tears fell down her cheeks. He was looking her straight in the eyes. No one had done that since the incident. They all avoided eye contact. Even the two boys who came to visit her frequently always avoided making eye contact with her. she stared into his deep red eyes as her lip trembled. He didn't see through her. He didnt tip toe around her. He was seeing her, as she was.

"I..." her voice was scratchy and strange sounding she made a pained face and put her hand on her throat.

"tsk" he stood and left the room, only to return with a cold glass of water.

"Drink this." With trembling hands, she took it from him. He watched her intently as she looked up at him gently. She was scared. He looked to the side

"I didn't put anything in it if that's what you're wondering. It's just fucking water." His intense look softened slightly as she looked to the glass and took small sips from it. The cool liquid sliding down her throat and soothing the scratchy dryness it held from the dry air and lack of use. What the hell did she go through? Why all the secrecy?

As she slowly drank the water her body relaxed some. He didnt talk, he only watched. He didn't see through her or avoid her situation, he was facing it. He wanted to know what happened and not just try to get to her be social. She looked up to him. A bit of life returning to those deep purple orbs. Bakugo smirked.

"Good, now were getting somewhere." He leaned forward. Her words were choppy at first but he was patient. She only explained that her Idol group were massacred and she was the only survivor. She couldnt remember much other than that. He sighed slightly and looked out the window still leaning forward.

"Nothing that happened was your fault you know that right?" the air that he didn't care about her situation had vanished as the words left her lips. his voice was soft and gentle but he wouldn't look at her. His emotions couldn't handle it right now. He thought maybe his situation was similar to hers but he was wrong. He stood and stretched.

"When was the last time you had a proper meal. I'm sure none of the teachers have time to properly make you something. Come on." He held out a hand to her after wiping the sweat off his palm on his black cargo pants. He kept his eyes locked on hers now.

"W...where ar...are we going?" she asked as she took his hand shakingly. His fingers wrapped gingerly around hers as he pulled her to her feet.

"Just the kitchen. I'm going to make you something to eat. You look like you need a sandwich or something you're too damn skinny. Don't they ever fucking feed you?" he shoved a hand on one of his pockets as they walked. He then growled.

"Don't tell anyone because I don't cook for just anyone got it?!" Still with her hand in his he led her to the stairs and down to the common area where the kitchen was. He let her hand go gently and pulled out a stool at the island and patted it gesturing for her to sit there. Only after she sat on the stool did he start going through the refrigerator and pantry. Huffing at the lack of ingredients. He however, did find enough stuff to make a simple rice omelet dish. Aria, sat there and watched his back as he worked silently. She looked down and blushed some. It wasn't like others had done the same thing but this felt different. They only ever interacted with her when they had to. He came on his only day off. To not only talk to her but to listen.

"Aria oi! Aria!" he growled. His call snapped her from her thoughts as she looked up. He had put the plate in front of her and another in front of him. The Ashe blonde handed her a fork and a butter knife then went to the refrigerator and grabbed the orange juice. He poured them each a glass and sat across from her. He watched her intently.

She eyed the plate of food. It looked delicious. The smell only made her stomach growl. A chuckle was softly heard from Bakugo as he slowly ate. With shaking hands, she picked up the work and knife. She sliced into the omelet letting the juicy insides spill over the perfectly steamed white rice. She licked her lips and let herself smile. Her gaze was focused on the plate in front of her as she dug in. Tears once more streaming down her cheeks. She didnt see Bakugo, who was still staring intently at her as if trying to figure something out.

"Tell me about them" he stated flatly. She looked up confused.

"Your Idol group, tell me about them." Aria placed her utensils down and looked at the plate sadly.

"We...We were pretty new but we became popular quickly. And began touring pretty quickly.

"I'm guessing you were center or whatever the lead is in those fucking things... I dont know what its called." Bakugo blushed slightly and looked to the side. He didn't want to admit to her that when he learned she was an Idol he did research on how Idol groups worked. She nodded gently and slowly began to eat again.

"Mostly because of my quirk. I could conjure affects and stuff. So, we didn't really have a special affect budget. So that money went towards marketing, I guess..." she said flatly. She then explained more about the members. Bakugo listened intently to her making small comments here and there, until she finished eating. He then pushed his plate towards her. He hadn't touched it. Most likely he had just made it for her as well. She looked up at him and he looked away.

"Just eat it! I know you're still hungry. That Damn Deku wouldn't shut up about how you wouldn't eat. He glared slightly at her. but it was a bad attempt. Bakugo leaned back putting his arms behind his head and staring at her. You were center for more than your quirk you know. You're more than your quirk. You're more than that happened to you. You're not here to be saved. You're here to learn how to save yourself. Be your own hero." Aria, with tears in her eyes smiled for the first time as she dug hungrily into the second delicious omelet rice. She had finally begun to move forward.
