AMBITION

startafight, joey valence & brae

Juniper found herself standing outside one more door, hesitating and losing confidence in her actions. She debated running away but put aside her worries to try and explain things first. So, she knocked.

The door opened and Bakugo frowned upon seeing the girl in his doorway. She awkwardly smiled, "Hey—"

He tried to shut the door, "Fuck off, I'm busy."

But Juniper was persistent, sticking her foot in the way and stopping the door from closing shut, "Let me just speak then? It'll be quick."

It won't be.

Bakugo clicked his tongue before letting the girl into his room, "Don't waste my time."

She cheered, "Yay! Thanks~" The room was fully decorated by now, filled with All Might merchandise along with black and orange decorations. Juniper placed herself leaning against his desk while Bakugo glared at her from across the room. "While I'm sane, I wanted to apologize and explain things."

He blankly stared at her, this time not avoiding her scar, "Get on with it."

Juniper nodded, messing with the three latches of her quirk nullification cuff as she spoke, "Err I guess I should start from the beginning. I'm sorry for bothering you, especially with my quirk I love getting reactions out of people and given your explosive personality, it made you the perfect target. Then the sports festival... My mind was a mess, all I wanted to do was to feel something new and I used you like a tool to get what I wanted. You were strong and I abused your power. Then at the training camp... things were going poorly and I needed something new and he—"

She slapped a hand over her mouth, furrowing her eyebrows together with an internal conflict. Bakugo narrowed his eyes at her, stepping closer and looking down at her, "He? That flame fucker, right?"

The girl looked nervous, looking away as he trapped her by placing his arms on either side of her. She fully sat on his desk to increase the distance between them, "Erm, the uh... Dabi?" It was inevitable that he would bring up the boy. But she hadn't thought about what to say about him, "It doesn't matter. I should have gone with you guys in Kamino but my quirk was eating me alive. I don't know if you saw when I lost control..."

Bakugo didn't care, leaning closer to her, "How do you know each other? If you're acting as a spy now, I'll fucking kill you right now." His hands sparked, intimidating the girl who couldn't rely on insanity for confidence.

Juniper sighed, poking the boy's chest to push him away from her and tilting her head to the side, "I'm not a fucking spy. Just let me apologize for being a piece of shit!!"

He grabbed her right forearm, tightly holding the cuff, "Prove it."

She yanked her arm away from him, starting to feel annoyed by the boy's accusations, "Why don't you prove that you aren't a criminal? The fuck? How do you want me to do that?"

It was irrational, sure, but Bakugo didn't trust her. At the very least, she was holding something back from him and he wanted to know what it was, "Why do you keep holding back then?" He had enough, harshly grabbing her right wrist and dragging her along behind him as he went down to the first floor.

His grip was strong, making it hard for Juniper to pull away, "Hey hey calm down!! What crawled up your ass and died???"

They marched out of the front doors to the building and into the open area where Bakugo yanked her arm so he stood between her and the building. His red eyes were filled with ambition as he glared at Juniper, "Take off the cuff and fight me."
