Chapter 10: Always a winner
He ended up winning.
Much to everyone's suprise, Bakugou Katsuki, after his egotistic pledge at the start of the sports festival, actually ended up winning after all. Teary and with a sore throat, L/n sniffed into a tissue. What a win, she pulled another tissue from the tissue box - which was almost empty - and blew into it noisily. What was she feeling exactly, at this very moment? Joy? Reassurance?
No, it's pride.
A loud roar came from the TV - where it showed live the spectators and competitors - when it was time for the award ceremony.
The floor opened up, and the stand where the winners stood was pushed up fromt underground. Though when all three winners were visible, an instant, hushed murmur ran across the stadium.
L/n's eyes shot wide -
Bakugou, at the top, right in first place, was chained to his stand, a muffler over his mouth, also chained. He was straining with all his might to shake off the chains, and he looked angry.
Extremely angry.
Through the TV, L/n heard a loud 'HRRRNGH' from him. L/n felt blood rushing to her brain - why, just because he wouldn't cooperate doesn't mean they could chain him up like some animal! That's a huge jab at someone's dignity, and this was Bakugou Katsuki they were talking about.
Not to mention, she knew Bakugou despised being restrained, before and especially after the Sludge incident. If these pro heroes had read the news, and even the ones that were on the scene that day, they would know that. And even if they didn't, this wasn't at all an appropriate way to deal with this.
"Mr. First Place just won't stay still, huh?" said Midnight with a hint of amusement and exasperation in her voice, as she gave Bakugou a look. The lad gave her a fierce glare.
"Now then," she continued on, her voice echoing through the stadium. "Time to offer the medals! And the one presenting the medals this year is naturally none other than -"
"IT IS I!" said a booming voice, as a blinding ball of blue, red and yellow tumbled through the air. "And I am here with MEDALS!"
"- OUR NUMBER ONE HERO, ALL MIGHT!"
Said hero did a somersault midair and landed in front of the winners with a ground-shaking 'thump'. The audience applauded furiously upon his arrival, murmurs rising among them once again, this time, about how lucky the freshmen were to have All MIght observe them.
The number one hero went on the distribute the medals, at the same time, encouraging the winners with his wise words.
L/n noticed him shaking his head at the restrains on Bakugou - who was seething angrily - muttering about how this was too much. All Might yanked off Bakugou's muffler, only to come face-to-face with a kind of teeth-knashing that anyone would be concerned for.
