Winter || Bakugo

Chapter 40

"Currently 70 people have passed. Thirty more and we'll be done." Mera announced over the speakers, causing me to sigh. This was seriously getting tiring.

"There..." I muttered to myself as my call hit that last guy's target.

"Oh. There more one after the other. Our total's at 82." Mera announced.

"Woah, this entire arena's going insane." Kirishima said as we walked toward the building we were directed to.

"Hey, look, some of our classmates." Denki pointed at three figures. I recognized them being Midoriya, Ochaco, and Hanta.

"Aw, yeah! Class A represent!" Denki shouted, his fist in the air. The three clearly startled by his sudden appearance and outburst.

"Oh, you know it! Our class is amazing! We did it!" Ochaco cheered back to him. A small smile appeared on my face as Kirishima, Ochaco, Hanta, and Denki gathered around, jumping up and down.

"Class 1-A! Class 1-A!" The chanted repeatedly. A small laugh slipped through my lips as I watched them interact.

"So you passed too." Bakugo spoke up, causing me to turn my attention to the boys who've known each other since childhood. "How'd you manage that, Deku?"

"Kacchan, hey!" The green haired boy greeted the blonde nervously.

"Guess I shouldn't be surprised with that quirk you got." Bakugo grumbled, walking past Midoriya. The green haired boy gasped in surprise.

"It looks like you've made that borrowed power your own." Bakugo said. I raised my eyebrow confused. Sometimes it's better to leave things alone...

"Bakugo, wait up!" I rushed after him, trying to match his fast pace.

"Learn to walk faster, idiot." He spoke harshly. Though, I noticed that he slowed down a little bit, allowing me to walk side by side with him.

"Katanas won't help you beat me." He suddenly said.

"You heard that?" I scratched the back of my head sheepishly.

"Learn how to use them quickly so I can beat you." He grumbled. I smiled and leaned into his side.

"I wouldn't expect anything less." I hummed, hearing his quickened heart rate. I hid the blush on my cheeks as we entered the building.

"Yaomomo!" I ran to my favorite black haired girl, wrapping my arms around her waist. She laughed, holding onto her dumplings so they would fall. My face rested against her chest as she hugged me back.

"I missed you!" I sniffled dramatically.

"I missed you too." She laughed. "Oh, hey! What a relief. I was starting to get so worried!" She said as the others walked over to us.

"No need to worry about us, Yaomomo. What's up? When did you guys pass? You been here long?" Denki practically bombarded her with questions.

"We just finished as well. Todoroki beat us." Shoji spoke up from behind Yayarozu. I sent him a small wave and he waved back, giving me a high five.

"I was kinda shocked Bakugo wasn't here already. But I get it now. It's because you were with him." Jirou teased Denki.

"Oh, come on! Why is everyone dragging me today?" Denki exclaimed angrily. I giggled and patted his shoulder, trying to calm him down. I yawned, finding a quiet corner, eating snacks before taking a nap.

———

"Yeah!" Kirishima and Kaminari cheered, causing me to wake up from my nap that didn't quite last long. My head lifted off of a shoulder. I looked to see who I was leaning on and turned away immediately after recognizing the ashe blonde. Blood rushed to my cheeks quickly. I was sleeping on Bakugo! I hope I didn't drool...
