Jet Stream (Kirishima x OC)

Chapter 7: Break In

A few normal days of school had passed after that. We didn't have any more practical hero trials in our costumes though, but we did do some hero theory classes. Mashirao and I restarted back up at the dojo once again, though we both dropped to only going once a week, whereas before we were going three or four days a week.

"What the crap?" I hear Bakugo say quietly from behind me as I'm walking to school, about to enter the front gate. He keeps having an annoying habit of walking on my left side, but I'm determined to get better at sensing him specifically.

"This is even more than yesterday." I agree with him, following his line of sight and seeing the horde of reporters trying to get information about All Might. It's been like this every day for the last three days, today just seems like overkill.

"Damn fucking extras." He pushes past me so that he's ahead of me, a habit I've noticed he has when walking around with people he knows.

"Excuse me, can you tell us what it's like to have All Might as your teacher?" One of the reporters tries shoving a mic in my face as I walk past and I back up away from her quickly, accidentally bumping into Bakugo as I did that. He had a mic already shoved in his face from a different reporter, and we were being surrounded quickly. I had to think fast before any panic started to set in.

"Wow, is that All Might over there!!?" I yell excitedly and point behind the crowd down the road. When all the reporters turned to look where I pointed, I grabbed Bakugo's wrist and ran inside the gate with him, grinning like an idiot while he scowled angrily.

"Don't fucking touch me, Airhead." Bakugo growls out, ripping his wrist out of my rather loose grip. "I didn't need your damn help."

"Maybe not, but I needed yours. Thanks, Bakugo!" I thank him with a bright smile as I walk off.

He doesn't know it, but the added goal of getting him away from the reports as well helped to motivate me to stay focused and think quick, so he really did help. I don't like reporters much, at least not when they swarm like that. It reminds me of after my accident, reporters all found me even before my dad made it to the crime scene. Plus, I'm still salty about the interview he just did a few days ago.

As I walked away, I didn't notice the look of confusion nor the slightly pink cheeks on the angry boy before he shook it off and went his own way to class.

Classes went by a little slower after that. Aizawa and Present Mic, our first two teachers of the morning, both got stuck with crowd control for the journalists. Aizawa finally strolled in and told us to pick a class rep, then he promptly fell asleep in his sleeping bag. Lots of people rushed at the idea, but it felt like too much responsibility for me. I want to focus on being a hero and training, and the extra work of being a class rep sounds too distracting right now.

We ended up voting, and I threw my vote in for Iida, he seemed like the bossy but caring type of person and would probably do well in the role. He didn't get it though, it was Midoriya and Yaoyorozu who got the positions. Poor Midoriya looked like he was going to pass out from the responsibilities, and was definitely not who I would have chosen.

By the time lunch rolled around, I was excited to try something different from Lunch Rush today. Also, I was going to sit with Kirishima again. He and I have really quickly bonded with one another, our loud energetic personalities mesh really well together. I didn't feel too bad leaving Mashirao, he bonded really well with Shoji, Koda and Tokoyami.

"Katsudon?" Kirishima asks curiously, looking at my chosen lunch. "I've only seen you eat udon so far."

"I want to try all the meals! You never know, one may become my new favorite, so what better place to try than with a top hero chef?" I say with a giant grin as I continue to eat the delicious meal. "Though, never tell my caretaker that, he thinks he's the best the chef in the world." I sheepishly add on. Makoto prides himself in everything he does, and while he is a good cook, he gets a little too... 'experimental' with his dishes at times. Plus he can't handle heat at all, he needs a glass of water even if a dish is even just mildly spicy.
