KARMA ๏ KATSUKI BAKUGO

not to tell a soul

"In first place, team Todoroki! In second place, team Bakugo! In third place, Tetsute- Huh? What? It's Team Shinsou?!" You smirked slightly at the bafflement tone from Present Mic's monologue. Looking over to Shinsou, he was smirking as well. "When did you come from behind?"

"Thanks for your hard work." Shinsou muttered as he walked away from Ojiro and the boy from class 1B.

"We did pretty good." You crossed your arms as your leaned on one foot. 

"God, even smiling, you look evil." He mimicked your stance and your face dropped. "Just don't forget me when you go back to your class of assholes."

"By assholes, you mean Bakugo?" You gestured to the boy who was fuming his ass of even though he got second place.

"You're kind of an ass yourself." Shinsou didn't have a filter, this was clear to see. However, he did stick his hand out for a handshake.

You grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly. "I can't forget a guy with purple hair."

"And in fourth place, team Midoriya! These four team will advance to the final round!" Present Mic was yelling so much, you wondered how Aizawa could tolerate him. "Now, we'll take an hour break for lunch before we start the afternoon festivities! See ya!"

And with that, you left Shinsou were he was and started to walk away. You wanted to try and find your uncle since he said he would be here. As you walked a few random halls, you came across Bakugo leaned against the edge of a hall.
Turning around and going back would be a waste of time, so you just decided to walk past him. Once he saw you coming, he started to give you a glare.

You rolled your eyes, he didn't want you to walk over his special little holy area. You didn't give two flying shits, so you just walked past him. However, that failed and he grabbed you, pulling you back before you had a chance to walk a single step past him.
You opened your mouth to start yelling at him, but he slapped a hand over your mouth. You grabbed his wrist, but before you could yank his hand away from your mouth, a cold voice stopped you.

"I was overpowered. So much so that I broke my own pledge." Canada? Who was he talking to? Why was Bakugo listening to it? "Iida, Kaminari, Yaorozu, Tokoyami, Uraraka. None of them felt it. And at that instant, I was the only one who was overpowered. Only me, who had experienced All Might's full power up close."

"What...does...that mean...?" This was a new voice. It was lighter, higher. It belonged to Midoriya.

"It means I felt something similar coming from you." Todoroki said, his tone was flat, cold but firm. He was thinking of something that you couldn't yet wrap your head around. Even though you shouldn't be here, you couldn't leave.

You heard a thump of a noise. At first, you thought it came from Todoroki or Midoriya, but it steady sort of pace. Moving your head a millimeter, you realized just how close you actually were to Bakugo.
The blond had you against him so close that you could hear his heart beat. His stupid hand was on your mouth, and your damn mouth was still open. You tried to close your mouth, but it just felt like you were kissing his hand. You sucked in your lips and pushed them back out. It was less awkward now, but you were still pressed up behind to Bakugo. Your hand hadn't move from his wrist, but that wasn't the worst of it. 

Your other hand was lying on his thigh. Despite barely knowing the guy enough to call him by his first name (and the fact he was an ass) this little situation was just embarrassing. If you moved your hand, he would notice, so you'd just have to wait until Todoroki and Midoriya stopped talking.

"Midoriya, are you...All Might's secret love child or something?" You dead panned. You blinked trying to understand the words that just came out of Todoroki's mouth. "Well? Are you?"

"Th-that's not it! I mean, even if I was, I would say I wasn't, so I don't think you'd believe me,  but anyways, that's not how..." Midoriya started to ramble. "In the first place, let me ask you something...Why do you think that about me?"

"Since you said, 'that's not how it is,' that means there is a connection between you two that you can't talk about, right?" Todoroki was starting to make more sense.
Now that you thought about it, Midoriya and All Might have very close quirks and they always seem to be around each other.

Midoriya didn't say anything, making the suspicion rise.

"Endeavour's my old man. I'm sure you know that he's been stuck as the number two hero forever." Todoroki said. You remember Endeavour very vaguely from the time you met him. He was a tall man, but you were also a little kid at the time. He barely talked to anyone at the Hero get-together, which was probably why you went to Todoroki to play with him.

"If you have something from the number one hero, then I have even more reason to beat you. My old man has a strong desire to rise in the world. As a hero, he won a name for himself with a crushing force. Because of that, the living legend, All Might, is a great eyesore to him. Since he couldn't surpass All Might, he move onto his next plan."

"What are you talking about, Todoroki?" Midoriya asked.
The words felt familiar to you. You feared what Todoroki would say next, but you were also mad about it.

"You've heard of Quirk marriages, right?" Bam, straight to the heart.
As a kid, you were told by other grown up that your parents married to 'create' an even better hero. When it didn't work out so great with your older brother, they made you instead. You knew it wasn't true at all. Your brother was just outcasted for his quirk and ended up running away. Besides, you were seven years apart from each other, he ran away when you were six and ended up dying.

"That thing became a problem for the second and third generation after superpowers appeared. Choosing a spouse based only on strengthening your own quirk and passing it down onto your children, forcing people into marriages. The old fashioned way of thinking brought about by a lack of ethics." Todoroki spoke with hate in his voice, but he went on.

"He is a man with both accomplishments and money. He won over my mother's relatives and got a hold of my mother's quirk. He is trying to fulfill his own desire by raising me to be a hero to surpass All Might." You looked down. You never really liked Endeavour, but this? This made you loath him. What kind of sick person would marry someone and force their children to do something they couldn't do?

"It's so annoying. I won't become the tool of scum like that. In my memories, my mother is always crying. " Todoroki went into a full monologue bit. "...'Your left side is unsightly,' my mother said as she poured boiling water on me."

You understood why Todoroki was so cold now, he had some serious parental issues. When you met Todoroki, he didn't have a scar on his eye. But knowing how he got it was just...

"Basically, I picked a fight with you to show him what I can do, without using my damn old man's quirk." Your eyebrows laced with confusion. Todoroki had a similar quirk to his father, but it didn't mean it belong to Endeavour. "No. I'll reject him completely by winning first place without using it."

After a moment, you heard footsteps as the two walked away. Bakugo let go of your mouth, and at the same time, you had sure to let go of his thigh and wrist.

You stepped away from the blond and turned to look at him. You both had the same facial expression on your face. You both started to walk away from each other, silently promising not to tell a soul.
