The Colour Red

Back with you ^^

"Another morning, another nightmare."

"MORNING [y/n]!!"

"MOrninG.. woe-"

I dawdle to the kitchen, lazily leaning on the wall. Katsuko cooking something in the stove, whatever it is it smells great.

"Mmmm... heyyyy."

"Hi [y/n].. you ready for today?" Katsuko asked without looking up from their chef skills =v=

"Today..?"

"The art muse day..? The day where some heroes come in to be all inspiring and shit?" Katsuko turned to face me, dumbfounded. How could I possibly forget? It's not like they have been teasing me that Red Riot is on the list of heroes coming in.

"Right... what's the time..?"

"You have thirty minutes." Katsuko returned to their food and waved their hand dismissively.

I ran back to my room shutting the door aggressively but not enough to slam it. I tore off my clothes and got dressed; okay i didn't just gEt dResSeD. I picked out some of my favourite shirts and other articles of clothing that weren't merch and continued to try on different mixes and matches of outfits.

After finally deciding on an outfit i move to my hair, styling it normally because I don't want my friends to be like '0h making an effort today are we' 👀
Anyways- I decide on my fit and grab my bag walking back out to the kitchen.

"Hey- your not wearing merch today?" Riko made an appearance for my early morning definately not visible panic.

"...No..?" I look away, nervous as fuck.

"She knows."

"Why did you tell her? It would of been so funny! Her wearing his merch and showing up to class only to see him!!" Riko groaned, disappointed that I knew.

I wanted to be mad, really, but if I was being honest, I would have done the same thing.

"Oh shit. Guys we gotta go." Katsuko snatched up the keys from the counter and bolted out the door, Riko and I not far behind.

"DUDE! Slow down!"
"NO."
"bruh"

after a chaotic and frantic car ride, I have no clue how we werent pulled over for speeding. Because Riko takes History as her major, we had to separate down the hall. Katsuko and I continued on our way to the art rooms.

"Soooo..." I glanced at them suspiciously.

"So?"

"Looking forward to seeing your boyfriend?" Katsuko winked and gave a sly smile as we entered our class.

"HE IS NOT MY BOYFR- Red Riot is not my boyfriend" A few people who were already seated looked in our direction, almost disgusted by my volume. Fuck you too weirdos.

"Who's not your boyfriend?"

You know, one thing I was excited about when going to university/ college (whatever u wanna call it ig) is that other people couldn't care less about your drama. But this one bitch in class is just in everyones business, normally I ignore her like you're supposed to; but Katsuko took this opportunity to brag.

"(y/n) and a hero have totally been ogling over each other for the past few weeks and they're supposed to be coming today."

My face screwed into one of annoyance and disappointment as this girl laughed.

"(y/n) has a crush on a hero? How pathetic, i bet he doesn't even know she exists!"

"you wouldn't know jackshit about relationships." Some dude in the back called out. We all looked towards him, in awe that he spoke and shocked as he took our side.

"Remember when you claimed that Deku, THE number one hero, was your fiance? Or the time you said Creati hit on you? Or even the time that Chargebolt fucked you in an alley? Yeah, me neither."

[ THESE ARE MY PERSONAL HC FOR THE CHARACTERS OMG DONT GET TOXIC OVER THESE - i also gave up on the anime a while ago so please dont come at me >:\ ]

I let out a small chuckle, this girl had claimed the most ridiculous and out of the blue things. Deku the aromantic and workaholic? Creati, the kindest and most modest soul on the planet who would never make someone feel uncomfortable and is rumoured to be dating Earphone Jack? And, sure Chargebolt is seen as a flirt, but in an alley? Have a little class sister.

The fucktard female just scoffed and sat her dumbass back in her seat. I threw a quick smile to the guy in the back who destroyed her career, earning a nod in return. I looked back to Katsuko, who also had a shit eating grin on their face, after one last giggle, we took a seat in our seats. You know when they aren't assigned but you sit there every time anyway? yeah. OUR seats.

We chatted for a bit, sharing some of our current designs and other artistries in our sketchbooks with one another as other people started to file in and take their own seats.

"And then the fucker spilt the coffee all over Monoma's shirt and he was like you imbecile! you absolute fool!! And the cashier was like sir, your going to have to keep the noise dOwn"

"omg what the fuck Monoma? Really?" Katsuko and I chuckled quietly as the Teacher placed a stack of paper down on his desk and sat down on the desk, swinging his legs back and forth - observing his students.

"Alrighty... we ready to meet some heroes?" They clapped their hands and gestured to us.

While everyone else was giving a normal reaction, such as clapping or saying yes; Katsuko elbowed me and whispered, "try not to eye-fuck Big Red, yeah?" I nearly choked on air.

"Okay! Please welcome our heroes!"

Alien Queen, Chargebolt, Cellophane, and Red Riot walked in. Other people began to mutter, confused as to why there was only four of them and how some were missing.

"Aha.. yeah sorry its just us today! The others were called in for a mission." Cellophane awkwardly brought a hand to his neck, sheepishly explaining the situation. The class was a mix of understanding and disappointment. I wasn't really paying attention, I was making direct eye contact with Alien Queen, who had the widest grin on her face as she spotted me. The longer we stared, the more i was confused.

I was the first to break, looking at Katsuko for answers, help, anything at this point. What I didnt see was the way the pink hero grabbed Red Riot - Kirishima's - face and forced him to look in my direction. Which meant I didnt see the way his face heated up into a blush that reached his ears.

"So, what exactly are the heroes here for?" That bitch that claimed chargebolt fucked her piped up. God I wish I can shove a pipe down her throat.

"Uhm, well.."

"Some of you have chosen these heroes as your muses, because of this they are here specifically to go around and help those with designs about them. For those who haven't chosen them are still allowed to ask questions about other heroes or speak to them in general, but other than that they are just here to help with creativity and details you may want to include." The teacher horribly explained, just like how they horribly explained the assignment in the beginning.

I felt my heart drop, I was almost certain I was the only person who chose a lower ranking hero, let alone Red Riot. But again I have no way of knowing for sure.

"Heroes you may choose who to start with."

and just like that, the four of them dispersed into the class. Luckily, or unluckily, I'm not sure, Alien Queen came and sat between me and Katsuko first.

"Your the girl from the cafe." She said. Great. I feel, i dont know happy that she recognised me and yet scared?

"...yeah.?" I replied quietly.

"Kiri owes me fifty dollars." Mina smiled.

"what?" Katsuko chimed in. "you bet on something to do with (y/n)?" they grinned curiously.

"Maybe," Mina turned to Kat, "Hanta, Denki and I bet that they went to this university/college and we would see them during this visit and Ei said it was unlikely." She brought a finger to her lips, a whispering motion.

"Ei?" I repeated.

"Yeah?"
