UA's Gremlins

The Test

Izuku yawned as he stretched in his seat. The crowd of wanna be heroes had made his head hurt, and now he just wanted to nap. Katsuki was napping beside him, blond head leaning against his seat back. Around them, students were furiously scribbling on their tests. Izuku felt eyes on him and looked toward the teacher who was staring at him.

He waved, a bright smile on his face before he tapped Katsuki.

Katsuki grunted, opening his eyes. He watched Izuku nod towards the proctor, who was staring at them. The blond flipped him off and rose with his test in his hand. Izuku followed happily as they walked up and turned their papers in two hours ahead of anyone else.

The stunned hero blinked, then waved them through the door. The duo wandered in and found a pair of seats about midway in the auditorium.

"I'm finishing my nap, nerd," Katsuki grunted.

"Go ahead, Kacchan, " Izuku smiled, letting the blond lean against him while he pulled out his notebook and worked on a plan for the next part of their test.

Just over an hour later, a handful of wannabes wandered in and found seats. Thus, the trickle of chatter started up. The pair ignored as best they could. Katsuki shifted so his face was turned toward Izuku, practically sitting in his lap.

One teen, a tall young man with glasses, tried to admonish them. Izuku turned his big, green doe eyes toward him and frowned.

"Does our relationship offend you?" Izuku asked sweetly.

The other teen hesitated as a few looked his way.   He turned and marched away in silence.  Behind them, a girl with bright pink hair and skin leaned forward.

"Ignore the four eyed weirdo," she grinned.  "You two are so cute!"

Izuku smiled.  "Thanks!  I'm Izuku.  This is Kacchan."

The blond frowned.   "Don't tell people that, ya damn nerd."  

The pink girl made a giddy little sound.  "Oh, don't be that way."

Katsuki sneered at her.  "Name's Bakugo Katsuki."

The girl grinned.  "Aww, but I like Kacchan."

Katsuki let a few harmless pops echo from his hand.  "Only the nerd can call me that. "

The girl sighed.  "Fine.  Bakugo, it is then.  I'm Ashido Mina, but it's cool to just call me Mina."

"Pinky," Katsuki grumbles as he snuggles back down to nap.

Izuku smiles.  "He likes to give nicknames.   Call me Izuku if you like.  How did you do on the written part?"

Mina glanced around and climbed down into the seat next to them.  "It sucked but I think I did okay.   I saw you two were like the first ones in here."

Izuku grinned.  "Oh, it was pretty easy for us, but we've been studying for years."

Mina continued to make small talk as the auditorium finished filling up.   Soon, President Mic was up explaining their second test - a "rescue" mission against robots. 

Izuku listened as he let Katsuki continue to nap, knowing he could fill him easy - not that Katsuki would need more that destroy the robots, don't hurt people.

"Good luck," Mina giggled as they started to move out to their assigned destinations.

"You too, Mina," Izuku grinned before turning to Katsuki.   "Kacchan.  Time to wake up."

Katsuki grunted.  "Don't wanna."

Izuku leaned close.  "You get to blow shit up," he whispered in his ear.

Katsuki perked up.  "For real?"

Izuku grinned.  "Yep.   Robots.  A whole slew of them.  Just can't hurt anybody."

Katsuki sighed and stood.   As he stretched, he grunted as his back popped with the stretch.

"Fuckin' fine," he grunted.   "How are you gonna take care of things?"

Izuku rose and smiled brightly.   "Oh, I have a plan.  Now rake care and see you on the other side," the green eyed demon leaned into his space again, "Bakugo Katsuki. "

The blond smirked, his mind wandering to how they'd celebrate later.   For now, he just flicked his boyfriend in the forehead and headed off.   Izuku giggled and trotted off to his location,  away from his Kacchan.

****

As Katsuki waited, he took in those around him.   Most were annoying and stupid.  There were a couple who weren't too offensive, like the red head with the sharp teeth.

When the bell rang, he took off running, a slightly manic grin as he let loose, cackling as he happily attacked robot after robot.

*****

Izuku sighed as he was surrounded by teens who were way too chipper.   Despite wanting to punch a few, he played the part of his nervous persona.   He just smiled and stuttered his way through the crowd.

He tripped at one point and was stopped from falling by another teen.   The girl smiled and apologized for using her quirk on him, then introduced herself as Uraraka Ochaco.

"Nice to meet you," Izuku smiled back.  "And no worries.   I'm a vit too clumsy."

The girl blushed, and soon the bell rang, and they were racing in.  Izuku hung back, watching and observing.   Neither of his quirks was offensive, so he had to play another card - hero.

He had learned that there was something called rescue points.   He just needed to focus and use, as Kurogiri said, his "big, beautiful brain" to figure it out.

He used both quirks to put himself to "help" the others without being obvious.    Then he saw the perfect opportunity.

Uraraka wound up trapped beneath some rubble as the infamous zero pointer lumbered out.   Izuku darted forward, past the others and toward Uraraka.

"Hey, remember me?" He asked.   The girl nodded.  "Awesome.   Use your quirk here."

Uraraka touched the piece or rubble he suggested, and he used the gravity free piece to move others and free the girl.   Pulling her out, he smiled.  

"Hang on!" He chirped as he pulled her onto his back.  He took off running, using his quirks to avoid danger until the bell rang again.

Uraraka started to thank him before turning away to empty her guts in the bushes, a side effect of her quirk.

Izuku just smiled as he strolled out, greeted by a still pumped up Katsuki.   He listened as the blond rambled about the destruction he was able to reign with glee and without consequence. 

Izuku listened, having the moment, rare indeed, where he doubts he did as well.   Would the plan work if he didn't get in?
