"Kachan stop it! You're making him cry. If you don't stop, i- i'll stop you myself." The green haired  kid was also crying. 

I was watching from behind a nearby bush and the blond boy pummled the greenette being held still by the kid with weird fingers. As the new transfer student, I didn't know the names of these kids. I only noticed that the greenette was a stubborn crybaby and the blond had a passion for violence. 

After the blond had left, I came out of my spying place and walked over to the green haired kid. 

"Are you alright? How can I help you? Do you need anything?"

The boy wobbled as he stood up. "No, i'm alright."

I tilted my head to the side. "Why do you follow that boy around?"

"Who? Kachan?" His face lit up through the tears that had finally stopped flowing. "He is amazing! His quirk is so cool and he is so powerful. I just admire him so much!"

"His... Quirk? Is it really that interesting? I couldn't see what it was very well from my position behind the bush. Throughout the day I have heard a few kids talking about it but I dont understand what the hype is." I responded. 

I heard someone calling from the main building. "Izuku dear, your mother is here."

"My mom is picking me up early so I can go to my quirk doctor appointment. I'll see you tomorrow. My name is Izuku by the way."

"Ok Izu-kun, i'm Sapphira. See you tomorrow."

As I watched Izuku leave, I saw the blond sitting by himself eating spicy goldfish. 

"Hi. What's your quirk?"

He looked at me with a prideful smile. "I make explosions. See." He held out his hands and made some mild explosions. "I'm gonna be the next number one hero. Everyone else says so."

"That's so pretty. Can you do it again? Please?" My face lit up with awe. 

"Only if you tell me who you are and your quirk." He made a couple more mini explosions for me after i nodded my head vigorously. 

"I'm Sapphira and my quirk is obsession."

"That sounds like a lame quirk. Guess you can stick around anyways. I'm Katsuki." he said, shrugging his shoulders. 

"I was gonna do that anyways. But, why do you hurt Izuku? You didn't hurt the two with you and he follows you too."

"That's because he is a Deku." He said as if it were obvious. 

"That's not very nice to say."

"He has no quirk, and he's a crybaby. He want's to be a hero without a quirk. How lame."

"That's no reason to hurt him." I crossed my arms.

"If he cant take me then how is he supposed to survive against a villain?" 

"He's five."

"And?"

"And so that makes you the bad guy." I said matter of factly. 

"No it doesn't! I'm gonna be the number one hero. I'm doing him a favor. I'm teaching him a lesson."

"That's still not a very heroic way to do things. It seems kind of villainous."

"I'm not a villain!"

"Well you don't seem to be a very good hero."

"Well, y- you wont be a very cool hero with a lame quirk like that."

"You dont know that. I could be a really good hero if I wanted to." I was trying to keep a cool head on my tiny shoulders.

"You'd make a better petty thief."

"Excuse me! If I wanted to be the bad guy, I would do something much cooler than petty theft. And just to prove you wrong, i'll be one of the best heroes." 

"You mean to say my lowest sidekick." He said smirking.

"I will be the best of your sidekicks."

"Well I-"

"Katsuki, your mother is here." It was the teacher calling from the main building again. Katsuki growled under his breath in response the ran off towards the building without so much as another word to me. 

He thinks that I cant be a good hero nor powerful enough to be a villain. How rude. I will prove him wrong. I will be one of the best. 


                                                                                                ... 


"Hey Kachan, wait up!" Izuku was falling behind again. 

"C'mon Izu-kun. You can do it. You go catch up and i'll collect that caterpiller for you." I said with a smile. 

"Thank you Sapphira-Chan" He said, giving me his butterfly box then running off.

I gently picked up the caterpillar. "You're such a pretty caterpiller. You will be a beautiful butterfly when you are grown. Did you know that little guy?"

I set him into the box after he started to crawl along my hand. I heard a splash a little ways away. Did Izuku fall into the creek?! I knew I shouldn't have sent him to cross that bridge alone. He's such a clumsy little boy even for his age. 

I ran with the butterfly box in hand to the bridge. I saw Katsuki's buddies standing on the log bridge staring down into the water. I saw a flash of green slide down the bank of the creek. I got closer to the edge. Bakugou was the one who had fallen in. What a surprise. 

"Are you hurt?" Izuku is a sweet as ever. 

"No leave me alone, useless Deku. I dont need your help." And Katsuki is as hostile to him as ever. 

"Are you both alright? Also, I have the caterpiller." I shout down.

"I'm fine. Let me see the caterpiller to see if it's any good." Katsuki responded. 

"I'm also fine. Woah, don't shove me Kachan. I could have fallin into the water."

"It would seve you right for looking down on me."

"Katsuki! Be nice." I scolded. 

Bakugou stuck is tongue out at me and gave me a thumbs down in return. By now he is used to me scolding him for his behavior towards Izuku. I'm surprised that he still lets me be around him. I have also gotten used to his antics. He isn't as hard to read as most people think he is. 

As he got older, less and less people beleived that he could have a soft side, especially when it came to his behavior towards Izu-kun. I don't blame them, he is quite rash at times and can be almost cruel. I just hope that one day, someone will see him more as a human than as an arrogant asshat, cause one day, his attitude is gonna get him into serious trouble.
