Chapter 2: Revelations Here, There, Everywhere!

Friday, March 28

Katsuki was in the same forest again.  This time he didn't feel so cold or frightened.  He was standing in the middle of a meadow filled with wildflowers.  A cool breeze drifted in bringing a perfume of flowers and pine to tickle his nose.  Why did it smell so familiar?  He walked over towards a small gurgling stream.  Looking down, Katsuki saw a bit of his reflection.  Red eyes looked back at him.  He wasn't scowling—a calm, peaceful face replaced it.  Katsuki reached into the stream to gently disturb the reflection.  Once the ripples faded, he noticed another reflection looking back at him—eyes of the color of the forest.  Katsuki begin to look up—

Katsuki woke up before his alarm went off.  He felt well-rested for once.  It was class 2-A's final day of school after all, and he did not have to stress about turning in assignments or working long work-study hours.  Katsuki was in a good mood.  He did his usual morning routine of jogging, showering, and getting breakfast before most of the class came down.  Katsuki headed to the common room to scroll through news and social media.  A text pinged.  It was his old hag.  He clicked the message open:

Old hag: morning brat.  Inko masaru n i decided on what to do for u and izuku.  since we know u hate it if we made a huge fuss and izuku is opposite, best we can offer is a family dinner w/Inko at a pricey restaurant. masaru wants to pay for everyone.  both u and izuku decide where u both want to eat.  Txt me soon in case we need to reserve.

GEMG Dynamight: oh nice...yeah i'll ask deku

Old hag: enjoy ur last day of school. dn't forget to turn in permission form! love ya ❤️

GEMG Dynamight: will do. bye old hag

Katsuki clicked his phone off as everyone started trickling into the common room.  Tenya then began listing the remaining tasks needed for the graduation ceremony and party.  They all headed towards the gyms. 

Katsuki was placed with the decoration team as his group finished setting up tables and chairs.  He filled balloons with helium, tied them to a string, then handed the balloons to Ochaco.  In a moment of boredom, Katsuki held up a balloon to Ochaco's face, "Maybe your quirk isn't anti-gravity, Round Face.  I think your quirk is Balloon.  Explains why your face is so round, have a high-pitched voice, and float—head's full of helium."

"What the hell, Bakugou!" Ochaco yelled as Katsuki cackled.  It led him to being kicked off the balloon squad and sent to work with Kyoka as part of the sound system squad.  Whatever.  Blowing balloons was boring anyway.  I probably can chill a bit while Ears works.

Sure enough, Kyoka was working on settings on the DJ Mixer and turntables while typing on her laptop.  She looked up from her work to see Katsuki approach and set her headphones on her neck.

"Did they finally kick you off the team?  Was decorating not in line with your Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight persona?"

"Yep.  Turns out Round Face does not like to be compared to a balloon," Katsuki said as he plopped himself on the stage.

Kyoka looked at him and laughed.  "Oh my god, Bakugou.  That was kinda mean.  Funny, but mean."

Katsuki laid down on the platform putting his hands behind his head, "Heh...yeah.  I think they sent me here so I won't bother anyone.  I don't know much about working with sound systems; therefore, I'm not gonna even try to help.  Where's that 2-B ghost chick extra by the way?"

"Yanagi?  She only helped me set up the equipment, then went to the other gym to help Present Mic set up their sound system.  I'm here specifically for loading music for Present Mic.  He liked my recommended music.  Said I had a future as a DJ and even asked me to go on his Put Your Hands Up Radio show once I graduate."
