"She's so cool." Jirou sighed after Kira left the stage.

"Ahh! She was awesome!  Everything is going exactly as planned!" Mina clapped her hands in glee.

"She is awesome." Bakugou crossed his arms and leaned back. A smile on his face.

"Oh really?" Mina asked, raising her eyebrows. "I didn't think you'd ever say that about anyone but yourself." She said, that old need to know if they were together resurfacing.

Bakugou's smile dropped. "The fu-hel- ugh.. heck is that supposed to mean PINKIE?!" He snapped. Groaning when the urge to curse hit. Eri watched him intently. Now being held by Midoriya and not Mirio.

Mina giggled. "Nothin~" She sang. Content for now.

Midoriya watched them, holding Eri up with a small smile. Observing how Kacchan absolutely refused to curse in front of Eri. It made him feel all warm and fuzzy, Bakugou was good with kids. He was perfect.

Midoriya sighed and looked up on stage. Where Bakugou was looking, where he was gazing. Midoriya hated that look, because Bakugou never looked at him that way.

Kira was lined up with the other girls as Tammy or whatever her name is started to show off her 'skill.' Midoriya looked up on stage, at all the pretty girls in their fancy dresses. The girl that Kacchan was looking at like she was the most beautiful thing in the world.

Izuku couldn't help but wonder... If he had been born a girl, would Kacchan like him? Would things be different? Would they have ever faught?

It's not that he didn't want to be a boy. He wanted to be what Kacchan wanted. He wanted to be loved.

Would things be easier if he was a girl?

He shook his head and looked away. Trying to get rid of the thought. It was stupid, not like he wanted to be a girl anyways.

The girls got back into their original dresses. Kira put in a pair of skintone earplugs, they were hidden enough. She didn't want to much extra noise. Especially with all this skin exposed.

"What the fuck are those? Is she deaf or something?"

Kira ignored Emi's thoughts and finished her makeup. Standing to line up with Kendo and Tammy. Next was questions and then their judging. It was all almost over, kira had no way of knowing if she would beat Emi. She just hoped if she didn't, one of the other girls would.

They walked out. The bright light hit Kira's eyes and made her squint. The lights, the noise. She was starting to remember why she didn't want to do this in the first place. She stood next to Emi and Kendo. A hand on her hip and a smile on her face. It wasn't a super fake one, more like a confident smirk. Kendo smiled naturally and Emi had a broad TV smile on. Tammy wasn't really even trying to smile at all. Just looking around at everything, taking it all in. She was still a mystery to Kira.

"First question is for... Tammy Tanaka!" Midnight called her up and Tammy seemed to snap out of a daze.
"Tammy. As everyone knows crime rates are slowly creeping up, what do you think we as a society should do about this?"

Kira raised her eyebrows. Sheesh, that was a big question. For a pageant? Sure she knew they would sometimes ask political or thought provoking questions but come on. They were fifteen.

"They must be desperate for ideas if they're asking us this shit." Emi thought beside Kira, she was very close to Kira. But Kira was also close to Kendo, holding her hand. They were all squished together in a fake form of friendship.

Tammy didn't say anything for several seconds, tilting her head slightly. Like she was listening to something. Then she looked and Midnight and leaned into the microphone.
