Fiery Hearts (Bakugo x OC)

Chapter 50 (Saturday)

Today was saturday. Jiro had figured out what song we were going to do and we began practicing. It was so funny. The whole time Kacchan kept screaming "MURDER THEM WITH MUSIC!" and I was the only one who could keep up with his random breakdowns he kept adding, so everyone was looking so miserable.

After a couple of hours, I had to leave practice.

"Okay, guys! That's it for me!" I announced. "I have to go pick out my wardrobe for the beauty pageant!"

"Alright! We should take a break too, everyone!" Jiro said.

"I still can't believe you agreed to do a beauty pageant. It's not hardcore at all, and I thought you were all about that." Kaminari said.

"Yes, it was a shock for me as well." Tokoyami agreed.

"I think it's great that she decided to step out of her comfort zone." Yaoyorozu said.

"I just like to have fun. This seemed interesting. Beauty pageants are usually all about gracefulness, but I'm gonna bring the murder to it and slaughter them all with my axe! In a graceful way of course." I said with a maniacal smirk.

Everyone had a bead of sweat run down their faces.

"Yup. That's Yumi for ya." Kaminari said.

"Definitely." Everyone else agreed.

"I'll be on my way now." I said. While I was walking out the door, I noticed someone following me. I turned around and saw Kacchan with his hands in his pockets. I raised an eyebrow at him.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm just...tagging along." He said with a blush across his cheeks.

"Hmmmm? Tryna get a sneak peak at my dress, huh?" I asked, smirking.

"Don't flatter yourself. I'm only making sure you pick out a good dress so you don't make a fool of yourself on stage in front of everyone." Kacchan said.

"Yeah, right! And even if that was the truth, you can't come. It's bad luck for you to see it before the day of the pageant. You'll just have to see it when everyone else does." I said.

"This isn't a wedding!!!" Kacchan yelled.

I turned to walk away. "Not to worry! You'll be on my mind the whole time I pick it out. I'll be thinking, 'Would Kacchan like this?' or 'Kacchan wouldn't like that.' That way you'll end up dropping dead when you see me looking all beautiful!" I said, walking down the stairs with my hands in my pockets.

"Snow- Yu- Borcchan!" Kacchan called out to me. I paused and blushed hearing him use that name again. I turned back around to him.

"Just...make sure it looks good." Kacchan said with his turned from me.

I smiled. "No doubt! Byeee Kacchan!"

I walked into the room full of girls. Nejire Hado flew up to me using her quirk. She had on a short, blue dress with her chest hanging out a little.

"Hey hey! It's Takayumi! What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I joined the beauty pageant at the last minute. I'm just here to pick out a dress." I answered.

"That's so nice! This is gonna be so much fun!" Hado said. "What kind of dress are you planning to wear? Poofy or slick? And what act are going to be doing? Oh oh! Rumor has it you're going out with Bakugo. Is that true? Come on! I gotta know!"

Hado was all up in my personal space.

"Woah! Back up! That's too many questions to answer at one time." I said.

"Hado. Leave her alone. She came to pick out her dress, not answer questions." Amajiki said from the corner.

"Amajiki! Where'd you come from?" I asked.

"I've been here the whole time." he said, shying away. I smirked and teleported to him and wrapped my arm around his neck. He flinched in fear.

"Now, there's no reason to be scared, Amajiki. Even if Hado does have her chest flinging from side to side in that tight dress." I said, smirking.

Amajiki blushed and covered his face.

"It's not like that at all! I would never look at her that way!"

Just then, Izuku, Togata, and Eri walked in. Nejire gasped and floated over to them.

"Hey hey! What's Eri doing here? Whatcha doing here girl? For funsies?"

Eri looked at her in awe.

Izuku got flustered by Nejire's body.

"You've got a flashy quirk and you're nice! Plus your body is so bou-bou-"

"He means balanced." Togata answered for Izuku.

"And even with all that you still only got second place!?" Izuku asked, still flustered.

"Yeah! Listen to this! Are you listening? Every year I lose to the same girl! She's just too good. The beauty queen! Bibimi Kenranzaki, from support course Class 3-G!" Nejire said.

"She sounds incredible." Izuku said.

"Eh. I can beat her, and everybody here." I said with my arms crossed.

"So you entered the beauty pageant too, Takayumi?" Togata asked.

"Yup! Don't vote for me and I'll kill you!" I said.

"I'll hold you to it." Togata said unfazed by my threat.

"This year's beauty pageant is stacked." Amajiki said. "Kendo gained some underground fans from the commercial, so she's a real contender. And of course, Hado won't be holding back. Just thinking about performing in front of all of those people...It sounds like a nightmare." Amajiki dropped to his knees holding his stomach. "Imagining it makes me nauseous."

"At first the only reason I joined was because Yuyu asked me to, but turns out, it's actually a lot of fun! I wanna crush it! That's why, this year, I'll definitely come in first! It's my last chance." Nejire said.

"You can do it!" Togata said. Amajiki nodded in agreement.

"Well, we'll just have to see about that, seeing as I'm in the competition and all." I said.

"We'll be on our way now! We have to finish showing Eri the rest of the school." Togata said.

"Alright!"

It was then that Yuyu, a girl with short, orange hair, walked up to me.

"You're Takayumi, right?" she asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Come with me. We have a rack full of dresses that you can choose from. When you find the one you want, bring it to me and I'll note it." Yuyu said.

"Thanks."

I scanned the racks, thinking of what would suit me the best.

'I want to look perfect for Kacchan and the others. It has to be graceful so I can even out my murderous intent when I play the guitar.' I thought.

After a while of searching, I finally found it. It was perfect!

'Kacchan's gonna be speechless when he sees me! He might even kiss me, right there on the spot. Which would be really embarrassing for me and really cringy on his part. Very cliche and so not like Kacchan.' I thought.

I gave my dress to Yuyu and she said she'd take care of the rest. I walked out of there and went back to the dorms.

Writer: In my opinion, this wasn't too great of a chapter. Hopefully I can make the next one better!
