"WHAT?" she lowly snapped, ready to get this over with.
"I was gonna ask you the same thing. So, what is it, huh?" He was playing coy? Ugh, how irritating.
Hitomi rolled her eyes, picking up the pace as they walked down the empty halls. "What is what? That smell? Pretty sure it's your B.O. buddy."
He sharply inhaled and inadvertently clenched his fists, but managed to keep himself in check for the moment.
"No—" he bit out through grit teeth. "What's the reason for your skiddish behavior? You're acting like a scaredy cat with that stupid leg bouncing all through class, and then avoiding the one person who miraculously seems to like you."
Hitomi was almost impressed by his observations, she didn't expect him to be so focused on her actions.
"Wow Bakugo, keep watching me like that and people will think you have a crush on me," she blandly replied, not slowing her lazy (yet wide) strides to match his.
"Shut up, we both know you're deflecting. Your actions. are. weird."
Hitomi raised an eyebrow, judging the boy with a worse bedside manner than herself. There was no way she could take his demands seriously, which lead to the small scoff she exhaled before speaking.
"Yeah, well, coming from the kid who screams 'die' every two seconds, I'd say if I'm weird—then you're a hypocrite in denial."
The boy abruptly stopped in his tracks, loosely grabbing Hitomi's bag strap that sat across her shoulder to make her halt too.
"Okay! Goodness gracious, man," she sarcastically rushed out, exasperated.
"Someone clearly didn't have much game in middle school," Tomi muttered as she jerked the strap from his hand and back to her body.
He looked like he was going to blow up the entire first year floor; tight jaw, adrenaline flow dilating his pupils, the whole nine yards. But luckily, the hoaxer hero knew an antidote to that.
"Calm down already you dolt, you're gonna give yourself premature cardiovascular problems."
Well, she was getting to the antidote, it was just.. taking a minute? As previously mentioned, our protagonist displayed bad bedside manner when paired with someone she didn't click with.
Sighing and adjusting her bag properly, Hitomi watched his face contort from irate to inquisitive. 'Jeez, is this guy bipolar? Shouldn't that be Todoroki's shtick?'
Resisting the temptation to chuckle at her stupid inner burn, Tomi decided to shoot the guy straight and leave promptly after.
"Listen, I'm not dumb. I know you just want to know what's bothering me in case the reason is something you can exploit against me in a battle."
