Time Changes Us (DekuBaku)

49

A/N Time to soothe the soul. I know I haven't been using pictures for this story but they were too perfect so I added them at the end of the chapter.  🥰

Kacchan POV
Why are we even here in the first place? The mission we accepted without even reading; it was actually a question and answer session at the World Wide Hero Fest. Deku of course was brighter than a fucking star, but then again he was eating up all the questions and the fact that he asked questions about the fans quirks made them feel so special that several cried. Particularly those that had been branded as villainous quirks.

"People can be so fucking dumb!" I cursed, shaking my head annoyed and getting everyone's attention. "Think about my quirk," I held up a hand and set off an explosion that most everyone stared at. "My quirk is the very definition of destruction. It destroys, an explosion yet somehow people make it out as cool and why? Because it's strong. If I were a villain I would be able to do far more with it just because I wouldn't need to think about property damage or possible injuries but I'm not. I'm a hero. How is my quirk heroic and your venom villainous? Have you ever heard of Lady Fairy in Rio? Her quirk can melt a person in under two minutes but she isn't a villain. She is Rio's number three hero. So don't let any fucking extra tie you down with a label they made without asking you shit."

Of course several burst out crying at that, leaving me irritated beyond belief so I started setting off sparks in my hands to try and calm down. I was really fucking hoping that I was going to be able to kick someone's ass while we were here. Kaminari was asked a few questions and when they found out he was interning with us everyone got super excited.

"As the first intern of the heroes; Dekiru, Dynamight and Mockingjay, what are your suggestions for hopeful students of the future?"

"Well, so long as you're not a bigot and generally a good person then you have a chance. For one thing the rainbow community gets a lot of crap thrown at them for no reason and they refuse to have anything to do with those hateful people. I've never met more accepting and genuinely caring people before in my life," Kaminari smiled and THAT got a lot of attention. I mean did he not bother to read the folder on the local laws and prejudices we gave him? I went through a lot of effort to make that damned thing!

"Oi, talk less," I glared at him but the damage was done. Here in Italy it's not that crazy to support the rainbow community, in fact it's one of the more vocal governments on equal rights and protections. No, the problem is after we return home, after all this is a a World Wide Hero Fest so all the cameras are broadcasting this worldwide.

"But you said," he started and I sighed and just waved him on and Deku and Toshi were enjoying themselves far too much but whatever. I could watch Deku's smile all day everyday.

"Do what you want," I sighed, leaning back in my seat. Oh well, it's not like the world wouldn't know soon enough anyway, eventually they'll learn that Deku and I are married but that isn't happening today. Several more people asked Kaminari questions and a few he had looked at Deku or I before answering, thankfully they were pretty much harmless though.

When the Q&A session was done we were dragged to another area just so we could sign autographs. I hate this part. I don't mind signing autographs, I really don't. I do however mind how my hand cramps up after so many at once and judging from the stack of hero posters on each desk my hand is going to really fucking hurt.

Each person had a little small talk, most just gushing about how amazing we were to be the youngest heroes in history. We also let almost all of them take a single photo with us before we moved on to the next person. The event took all day and Kaminari was actually really helpful, getting us drinks, helping to keep the lines organized and taking the pictures with the fan's phone. He also brought us food and even closed a privacy curtain to allow us to take a brief break while he entertained people still in line, letting us use the restroom or eat. All in all Kaminari did an outstanding job.
