"I can't do it. I can't-" You sob into Kirishima's shoulder, as he holds you closely. Bakugou's also comforting you, rubbing your back gently.

Just two hours ago, Jirou called you, saying that she needed a break. She was upset about you not being open about your relationship with her and wanted to take a trip to find herself, and she won't see you again for a while.

She never really indicated having any problems with you experimenting with her, but maybe you should've paid closer attention. You're losing your best friend, and it's all your fault. Not to mention you have a stupid Highschool game you have to go to in less than an hour.

"(Y/n), look at me. I know you're in pain, but you need this. You're starting and proving all of those jealous bitches on your team wrong. It'll be a good distraction, and you can take out all your feelings on the field. You'll score some goals and kick ass, and it'll help you feel much better, okay?" Bakugo told you, resting his hands on your shoulders.

You sniffled softly, letting him cup your cheek and wipe away the tears. That actually helped quite a bit. You took a shaky breath, calming yourself down. "Okay, thank you."

"Of course, that's what I'm here for, right?" Bakugo grinned at you, and you smiled back, not noticing Kirishima giving him a thumbs up over your shoulder. You didn't realize how comforting Bakugou can be. You will say, he is pretty good a hyping you up.

"I have to go get changed and ready. And shit, my brother will be home in thirty minutes to drive me to my game. I'll see you guys later?" You say, now calm and smiling at them.

"Of course," Kirishima replies. He hugs you, as well as Bakugo, which you also find surprising. Bakugo isn't one for touching..most of the time. "We'll see you at the game."

After a short bus ride, you arrive at the field. You warm up with the other girls, but ignore most of them. Your coach talked to them and apologized to you for what happened, but you know that's the most he could do.

You just repeated the same thing that your brother had told you on the car ride here in your mind as you warmed up. What they think is none of my business. Dealing with them will only make me stronger. Just ignore them and focus on the game and what you're supposed to be doing. 

You managed to stay focused throughout the warmups, until right before the game. The coach gave you a pep talk, the same typical thing, the opposing team's strengths, and weaknesses, what to expect, and to play hard and competitively.

The next thing you knew, you were standing on your side as the right wing, waiting for the ref's whistle to blow. You heard a familiar couple of voices calling out to you, seeing that it was Kirishima and Bakugo. You grinned at them, waving back excitedly.

The whistle blew, your teammate kicked the ball, and you took off.

--

Sitting on the bleachers, Bakugo and Kirishima spot a familiar pair rooting for you. It was your brother and one of his friends. The one they saw flirting with you at the mall.

"We should probably go say hi." Kirishima murmurs to Bakugo. "Why?"

"Because we're rooting for the same person and they're going to notice sooner or later, not to mention her brother's met you. It would be good to get along with him..better for our relationship with (y/n)." Kirishima told him.

With a reluctant sigh, Bakugo follows after Kirishima, walking over to your brother. "Hi there, you're (y/n)'s brother, Naoki, right? We're her friends, Kirishima and Bakugo."

"I met Bakugo before but Kirishima..it's nice to meet you. (Y/n)'s told me a lot about you." A little grin crossed his face..one that seemed like he knew a secret that Kirishima didn't.

He faces his friend, elbowing him. "Oi, shithead. Have some manners and introduce yourself."

"Touya." Is all he says. Bakugou recognizes him in an instant. "Wait, you're Shouto's older brother?"

Touya lets out a little chuckle in response. The boys don't understand what's so funny. "Yeah, that's right."

Shouto doesn't talk a lot about his siblings, but if there's one thing Bakugo knows it's that he's nothing but trouble. Anyone who reads the news knows that, considering all the scandals Touya causes, with girls, drugs, and arson. Why does your brother even hang out with him?

Before Bakugo can finish that thought, the crowd is cheering. Your team has the ball, and they're taking it up the field, to the goal. A girl passes it to you, and you dribble through some people, before crossing it, and the other girl kicks it in, shooting and scoring. They all cheer you on.

"Do you guys know what school they're playing?" Kirishima asks. "Uh, it's Nipuni Academy, I think."

Nipuni Academy? Why does that sound so familiar? And then, Kirishima realized it. Nipuni Academy is the school Mina transferred to.

Now, Mina doesn't play soccer, but knowing how easy it is for her to make friends and influence people, she could do a lot of damage. This can't be good.

And as if Kirishima's thoughts came true, things started getting heated on the field. Girls
are pushing at you and grabbing you, even when you don't have the ball. Thankfully, the ref calls some fouls on them, and some girls got warnings, even though they probably deserve a card.

You don't let them push you around, though. Bakugo and Kirishima can see you arguing with a few of the players, pushing them back, and grabbing them a bit as well. Despite your anger, you manage to stay focused, channeling it into the sport, like Bakugo told you to do.

Your teammate passes the ball to you, and a girl tries to shove you, but you stand your ground, using your momentum to shoot into the top corner of the goal. You scored. Kirishima and Bakugo cheer for you as loud as they can, practically screaming. People are staring at them, but they don't care.

You grin at them, running over to the stands and blowing kisses like you're one of those guys in the professional league. To your surprise, your team runs over and celebrates the goal with you.

After that goal, the other team is pissed. It's only two minutes after the second kick-off when you get elbowed in the face during a throw-in. You get hit in the nose, falling backward in shock. It's not long until it turns into a bloody mess.

That pisses everyone off, including the people in the stands, and the parents that hardly know you. But no one's more angry than Bakugo, Kirishima, and your brother. The coach helps you off the field after yelling at the ref for not calling anything, (he apparently didn't see anything) and your teammates argue with the girls on the other team.

"You gotta call something sometime, ref!" Bakugo snaps from the bleachers. Naoki shouts too. No one is happy with the call. Not even the mean girls on your team

Yeah, Kirishima and Bakugo are definitely going to have to deal with Mina soon...once this Jirou thing blows over.

--

The game ends with your team winning 3-1. After your coach has one final talk with the team, you run over to Kirishima and Bakugo, hugging them. You also hug your brother and fist-bump his friend.

"Thank you for coming and cheering me on! Now I just need to go to your games." You tell Kirishima and Bakugo.

"Don't worry, there's plenty of ours that you can see. You kicked a lot of ass, just like I knew you would." Bakugo replies.

"Yeah, you did great, (y/n)!" Kirishima adds. You grin at them. "Thank guys and thanks for earlier. It means a lot to me."

"C'mon, (y/n). Everyone's waiting to go." One of your teammates says, cutting your conversation short.

"Naoki, pick me up from the U.A. Just go straight there. No stopping for food or anything, okay? Bye, Touya!! Bye, guys!! I'll text you and see you soon!" With that, you walk over to the bus with a big grin on your face.

Tonight was a great night.
