OCHAKO, MINA, AND MOMO walked out of the classroom after spending some extra time helping their teacher. Momo silently followed the other two girls loudly commentating about their hunger and what they plan on eating, wearing a small smile. They recently informed the black-haired beauty of the recent gossip surrounding her male classmates Midoriya Izuku and Bakugō (name). Momo hasn't personally talked to (name) one-on-one, partly because there was never a need, but also because she is more than aware of how (name)'s brother reacted to people "bothering" him, whether or not said person was actually bothering the boy.

Picking through such knowledge Momo has gained, (name) seems like another standard introvert who somehow befriended Kirishima Eijirō, a loud-mouth companion of Katsuki's. Tokoyami Fumikage, his other friend, seems like a more fitted match. Izuku, on the other hand, isn't seen a lot with (name), and yet, based on what Mina and Ochako said, they are so close it's possible they had a secret relationship.

She admits she does not pry much into others' privacy. Relationship-related is a bigger issue she feels is not her business, but she finds this at-hand situation fairly riveting considering what she knew about the two's core personalities.

"You bastard! I'll kill you if you don't take back what you just said!"

"Was that..." Mina trails off. The three girls halted their walking for a moment then rushed ahead. There they recognized Izuku's figure lifted in the air by Katsuki's tight grip around his collar. The girls maintain quiet attendance in fear of what might happen if they make their presence known.

"Take it back right now or else I'll―"

"What? You're going to punch me? Like you did in the past? Like when (name) jumped in to take the hit seconds before it hit me?" Ochako and Katsuki's eyes widened severely at Izuku's dark, low tone. Mina and Momo watch in worry. "Remember that?" Izuku's right hand grasped Katsuki's shaking wrist. "(name) protected me from you because he saw me as his friend, something you keep him from having."

"Y― you...y― you..." Katsuki shakes in what the girls can only describe as absolute fury. "You are no friend of my brother's." His blonde bangs cast a malevolent, fear-arousing shadow over his beady red eyes. Ochako and Mina held onto each other, quivering where they stood. "You're a damn pest following him around." Izuku's head hangs forward. "You and those other two bastards I always see him wasting every breath he exhales talking to. A leach like you has no place telling me I need to leave my brother alone!"

"And a controlling, hot-headed asshole like you has no place treating others like shit just because you're too jealous to let your brother actually be happy."

All four release silent gasps.

Katsuki's grip slightly loosens causing Izuku's feet rejoicing the hard ground his eyes glared down at. The girls kept their dilated pupils on Izuku's indignant face he revealed. His eyelids dangerously narrowed toward Katsuki copying the shadowy look surrounding his eyes.

"D― Deku looks...s― so scary..." Ochako tightens her fingers around Mina's fist. Mina shrinks her head between her shoulders, clearly agreeing. Momo, however, boldly takes a small step forward for a clearer view. The thick, tense atmosphere swelled the darker Izuku's face became.

"I've let you treat me like I'm trash for years...but destroying (name) little-by-little whenever you pull him away from talking to a friend, wiping that smile he rarely expresses...how can you do that to the person you claim you love so much? Diminish what little security he has left?!" Momo's attention is directed to where Izuku's free hand is forming a readying fist. "(name) is finally truly happy. He has people who make him feel good about himself. He's finally opening up. If you really loved him, you'd stop getting in the way―"

"You fucking prick!" Katsuki shrieks. Izuku's words hit every nerve. His raising arm prompts Momo to take another hurried step forward, ready at any time to grab either Izuku or Katsuki before things escalate any further.

But her footsteps stop.

"Ahhh!" Ochako and Mina scream hearing the sound effect of a face being brutally punched dead center.

Momo's eyelids snap open wide, taking in every piece of the scene formatted before her.

The discouragement Bakugō Katsuki expresses against Midoriya Izuku is a common affair Class 1-A unanimously agreed was unnecessary. The distress Katsuki would cause, not just for Izuku, but all lessons, demolishes values a true Hero must obtain.

Treating others lesser causes great deterrent effects typically ending them subscribing to devastating ideas: depression, low self-esteem, severe anxiety, or transforming into a vengeful villain.

Katsuki antagonized Izuku far longer than their time shared at U.A. which pushed Izuku past his limits turning him over to become that horrid monster.

His logical subconscious proved insufficient when Katsuki shakily pushed himself into a sitting position with one hand covering his mouth and nose, blood gushing through his fingers.

"When will the day come you hit (name) because of your clinginess?! You already hurt everyone! You hurt me, and you're doing the same thing to your brother!" Tears burst out of Izuku's eyes.

"Go get Aizawa-sensei! Hurry!" Ochako runs back to the classroom dragging Mina close behind her.

"Hah," Izuku grunted. His hand made another fist this time Momo took in an alert. "I'll hurt you more than you've ever had to me and (name)!"

"Midoriya, stop!" Momo reaches Izuku before can land another blow but he doesn't even regard her.

"You're nothing more than a burden yourself!" Momo tightened her arms around Midoriya's midsection as he continued shouting at Katsuki. "You can say it all you want, but you'll never love (name) more than I do! He'll never love you the same way! You'll only ever be his brother!"
