His Little Fox(Kirishima x reader)

31

They're going after Bakugo. And they really mean it. It's not a nice wish or a hope, it's action. They're really going after him.

I followed the rest of the class up two flights of stairs and down the hallway. Jiro and Hagakure had been put in the same room. We could visit them both at once. 

What was I gonna do? Was I going to keep my mouth shut? Should I tell somebody? They could get themselves killed. Or worse, do I go with them? I don't want to be a hero, but someone I know personally was taken and needed help. Was I so heartless as to do nothing? I'm not a hero. I'm never going to be a hero. But I sat by while everyone else was fighting for their lives, just as much as Kirishima did. I bore no less blame. But it was eating him up alive and I had barely spared a thought for it.

The class stopped in front of Jiro and Hagakure's door. Kaminari knocked again. 

Kirishima and the others were going to put their lives in danger tonight to save Bakugo. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Midoriya went with them and he had only really woken up today. 

I hung back as everyone else filed in. 

"Is everything alright?"

I looked up. Kirishima had caught back up to the class after staying behind to talk to Bakugo. Nothing on his face betrayed what he was planning for tonight. He was so sure, so confident. 

"I'm fine," I managed weakly. 

Kirishima waited a moment, then nodded. He entered the hospital room in front of me. 

Could I really sit back and do nothing? Could I really go with them? It wasn't my place. Whose else was it? Was I going to really trust the heroes? Was I really going to try to become one?

I entered the hospital room, plagued with doubts and questions. Everyone else was smiling and happy. Jiro and Hagakure were healing nicely. I was glad for them. I really, really was. It was hard for me to show it though. I think I went through that entire time with a frown on my face, even when I managed a smile. No one mentioned anything though. 

What was I going to do?

I sat at my desk, staring out the window that night. I still hadn't decided what to do. The sun was just about set. They'd be meeting in an hour, maybe two. I couldn't let them get hurt. I knew about their plan. If I hadn't known, this wouldn't be a problem. But I had overheard them and not doing anything was as good as hurting them myself. But what do I do?

Going to the pros was stupid. Not only would my classmates get in trouble, maybe even be expelled from UA with the public situation so bad, but that would be dooming Bakugo. What would the pros do then? Sit around, making talk about how much they miss that one student, then move on with their lives. I can't tell the pros.

That rules my parents out as well. What would they do? Go to the pros immediately. Dad had been hurt by them time and time again but he didn't resent them like he should. He was still naive. My classmates would still get in trouble and Bakugo would be no less kidnapped. 

That left doing something myself. I stood up, reaching over my desk and pushing my window up. I knew where they were meeting. I knew what they were doing. Hopefully, Mom and Dad would just think I had gone to sleep in the backyard like usual. I couldn't transform fully though. If I did, my clothes would be left behind. 

I snuck around to the front of my house and started walking. I still wasn't sure what I was going to do once I got there, but I couldn't be late. I couldn't miss them. I'd decide while I walked. Either I would try to talk them out of rescuing Bakugo or I would help them myself. 

I didn't want to be a hero. I didn't ask for this. Really, this was all Kirishima's fault. He had made the plan. He had talked to Midoriya about it in a way that I could hear. I kicked a rock as I went. This was all Kirishima's fault.

I heard shouting as I got close to the hospital entrance. Somebody wasn't happy. That sounded like... It sounded like Ida. When I got within view, Ida was holding Midoriya's shoulders. They were both staring at the ground and Ida was talking. Kirishima, Todoroki, and Momo were looking on. Everyone looked worried. Ida sounded like he was in some sort of emotional pain. At least Midoriya had his casts off. 

I was positive he was planning to go with Kirishima and Todoroki. Momo being here probably meant she was planning to help as well. Ida though? I bet he was trying to stop them. 

I stood behind a pillar, not hiding necessarily, that's what I told myself. Just seeing what the situation was. I grew the sensitivity in my eyes and ears so I could see their faces and hear what they were saying. 

"You've got it wrong," Todoroki said. "We don't expect to face the head-on and win." Ida let go of Midoriya and listened. "We'll get him back without fighting."

"Yeah, we'll be stealthy," Kirishima added. "I'm talking cover ops. We can rescue him without breaking the rules." He really looked worried for Bakugo.

"But still," Momo said behind both of them, "things could always go wrong?" Was she not here to help? "So I'll join you as backup."

"You can't be serious," Ida said.

"You're the best," said Kirishima.

Midoriya was still looking at the ground. He looked as if he had been punched or something. Recently. "I know I'm hurt," he said. He was every bit as determined as Kirishima, "but if I can still move at all, then I can't just sit still." He looked up and met Ida's eyes. "Cause all I can think about is saving him."

They stood off silently for a moment. Each one as determined as the next. Ida lowered his head just a little.

"I'll never agree," he said. "So I'm going to come with you."

What? The others hesitated, but they agreed. They welcomed him along. 

"Let's go get Bakugo," Kirishima said. He was so determined. He was so confident. They were leaving now. I still hadn't decided what I was going to do. But it was now or never. 

I stepped out from behind the pillar, letting my ears go back to a normal level of hearing, but keeping my eyes keen. They heard me and all turned. Kirishima's face split into a wide grin. Who was I kidding. 

"Can I come?"
