Balance In All [boku no hero academia]

[CH. 46]: Preparations

"You should've said so," [y/n] chuckled at Bakugo's flustered form. She continued as she grinned, "Besides, you're not the only person I called by their first name. No big deal for me."

Bakugo does his signature tongue-clicking, "Whatever, as long as you don't call me anything else than that, it's fine." 

"It would have been fine if you return the favor too, you know. I never heard you call me by my name ever since I came back."

Izuku sweatdropped as he witnessed their interaction, "I didn't see this coming." 

Uraraka stood beside him as she nodded in agreement, "I didn't even expect this kind of development at all, it feels weird."

[y/n] turned to face Uraraka with a pout and a huff, "I heard that! And honestly..." 

She pivoted to face Bakugo with a grin once more, who still has the same scrunched-up expression plastered on his face, "... I don't see any development in a relationship that does not exist."

Her brother deadpanned, "[y-y/n]... did you just...?"

"Hm? Did what? I'm only telling the truth, Izu."

[y/n] approached him as she placed her hand on his shoulder with a reassuring smile, "You know I hate it when rumors start to spread more than the truth itself, so..." 

She then shrugged as her shoulder gently brushed past the frozen stiff Bakugo, walking on her way to her seat as she picks up her school bag, "... I just say things the way as it is."

After she left the classroom, Uraraka and Izuku stared at each other with wariness as the brown-haired girl spoke, "What happened during the practical exam with you three?" 

Izuku looked away as he hesitates to answer, "Well... uhm... there was some misunderstanding... but it died down a bit... don't worry about it!"

As he was about to leave the room, his phone went off with a ringtone, indicating a message has arrived:

"Let's talk after the summer camp."

It was from [y/n]'s number as Izuku gulped nervously, "I have a bad feeling about this."

As soon as she got home, not bothering to announce her arrival to Midnight, "Kayama-san, can we have a talk?"

The pro hero hummed as she adjusted her sweater while they both sat down with [y/n] still wearing her school uniform, "How long have you known father?"

With a sigh, Midnight leaned against the couch as she replies while staring at the ceiling, "Are you sure you want to know?"

[y/n] blinked before she replied, "What do you mean, Kayama-san?"

Midnight looked away as she sweatdropped, "Well... it was pretty embarrassing. Nonetheless, it was the most peculiar moment that has ever happened in the course of my hero career."

The green-haired girl tilted her head in confusion, "Why is it embarrassing?"

The raven-haired pro hero groaned as she stuffed her face on a throw pillow, "Ugh... even just recalling that specific memory just makes me wanna bury myself alive...!"

[y/n] raised her eyebrow, This is getting interesting. "I'll be getting more invested if you continue to talk like that, Kayama-san."

Midnight sighed once more as she tossed the pillow to another nearby couch as she crossed her arms and faced the young lady at her side, "I guess there is no stopping you, huh?"

She continued as she gestured her hands when she talked, "I've known him even before you two were born... To be exact, let's say we both started our careers in the same year."
