Neither A Hero Nor A Villain - A BNHA Fanfic

Chapter 40

Yui's POV:

'Their hero names are actually not bad,' I said in my head as the majority of the class went up front to present their names.

I can agree with that. Yuu replied. Though some of them did sound a little...weird.

'Oh, it's Katsuki's turn!'

I anticipatedly waited for my boyfriend to present his name.

"King Explosion Murder," he declared, showing his board.

...

...

...

"Pfft—"

Pfft—

Yuu and I burst into laughter.

"You should refrain from those," Midnight advised.

"Why?" Katsuki furiously asked.

"Just use Explosion Boy!" Kirishima suggested.

"Or you can use Sparky!" I joined in between my laughter.

How about Firecracker? Yuu added, causing me to laugh even harder.

"Shut up, Shitty Hair!" my boyfriend yelled before looking at me. "And stop laughing at me, dumbass!"

I tried to stop my laughter as he grumpily got back to his seat.

"You should try to figure out something else, you know," I whispered to him after I regained my composure.

"I know that, furball!" he whisper-yelled back.

"Choosing a hero name is going a lot smoother than I expected," Nemuri-basan stated. "The ones left are Bakugou, who has to think of another name, Iida, and then Midoriya, right?"

"You don't want to lose to Izuku, right, babe~?" I teased him.

"Damn right I don't!" He angrily scribbled another name, which I hoped it would be better than his first one.

I brought my attention back to the front of the class and watched in shock as Izuku presented his 'nickname', Deku, as a hero name.

"I never liked this name, until now. But someone changed the meaning of this name and that had a big impact on me. It made me happy," Izuku proudly explained it to the class. "This is my hero name!"

I bet ten thousand bucks it's Pink Cheeks who said those words! Yuu said.

'You can't do that because we both know it was her!'

Then change your bet into someone else! Don't steal mine!

'Who am I gonna bet on, huh? Katsuki?'

Well, obviously not! He's the one who called him that as an insult in the first place. Are you dumb?

'I was being sarcastic, you idiot!'

Our little argument was cut short when Katsuki stood in front of the classroom again before stating a, what I hoped for, better hero name.

"Lord Explosion Murder!"

...

...

...

'...scratch the 'better' part. This one's as worse as the first!'

•••

I watched in boredom as Katsuki looked at his list while trying to block the loud chatters right around Izuku's desk. One thing caught my ears from the group's conversation.

I playfully nudged my boyfriend. "Hey, Ochaco's going to Gunhead's agency to get stronger, you know? And apparently, she got that realization after she fought you."

"Not my problem," he mumbled, trying to concentrate on his list. But, he couldn't because of the loud chatters behind him, causing him to shake in anger and uncounciously crush his paper.

"They're so noisy...," he growled, earning a soft 'hm' from me.

•••

"Hey, babe?" I called out.

Katsuki asked me to 'walk' him home since he didn't want to get home earlier.

Excuses.

Knowing his tsundere self, he probably just wanted to spend more time with me before the internships.

He glanced at me. "What?"

"Have you decided where you gonna go for the internship?"

"Yeah.... I'm going to Best Jeanist's Agency."

The choice of his internship was...unexpected.

I blinked. "You sure you want to go there?"

"Why not? He's the Number Four Hero."

"I know that. It's just...I don't want you to get disappointed since I know what type of person he is and frankly speaking, his personality doesn't match yours at all. He's kinda...strict, like really strict."

Katsuki shrugged. "I'll be fine, babe. If facing a strict person will get me closer to being number one, I'll take that chance."

I chuckled at his determination.

He gave me one of his rare smiles before wrapping an arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him as we walked. "So, you're going with Hawks, huh? It's fucking awesome interning with the Number Three Hero. Imagine all the training you're gonna get."

I laughed. "Sorry to ruined your excitement, babe. But believe it or not, I'm 100% sure that we're gonna do more pranking than training."

Katsuki raised an eyebrow. "Pranking?"

"Oh, right. I never told you before. Rumi-nee, Kei-nii, and I are known as the 'Ultimate Pranksters' in the hero society."

He gave me a confused expression. "Rumi...nee? Kei-nii?"

I sweat dropped at my stupidity. "Gomen. Rumi-nee is Mirko and Kei-nii is Hawks."

"Oh. Didn't know that you're into that kind of stuff."

I looked up to the sky and smiled. "It's somewhat enjoyable when the person is an asshole and he deserved it. Endeavor, for example."

Katsuki's eyes widened in shock. "You pranked Endeavor?"

"Yup!" I replied while popping the 'p'. "And I'll let you on a secret. Kei-nii and I have planned a big prank for him, so keep an eye out for the results on TV."

"Sure." He grinned and ruffled my hair. "I can'twait."
