Winter || Bakugo

Chapter 42

"Guys, I'm sorry for all of the trouble I've caused!" Midoriya apologized as soon as he stepped into the classroom once his house arrest was over.

"No sweat, Deku. Thanks for your hard work!" Ochaco reassured the detirmined boy. Though I'm sure Bakugo ended up taking all of the cleaning duties for himself, it's the thought that counts.

"All he did was vacuum." Jiro stated exactly what I was thinking. "And what's with those steam nostrils?"

"Class Rep, Iida! I'm sorry I disappointed you!" Midoriya apologized to one of his closest friends. To be honest, he didn't need to apologize to anyone. His absence didn't really affect anything but the gesture was sweet.

"Right. Well, I'm glad you learned from your mistakes. Follow the rules from now on." Iida replied, clearly startled at the boy's sudden behavior.

"I'll catch up with everything I fell behind on these past three days!" Midoriya exclaimed, bawling his hand into a fist. I clapped at his determination.

"That's the fightin' spirit. Do it man!" Kirishima hyped the green haired boy up. Once it became too loud, I slipped my headphones on.

I hadn't realized class had started until three seniors from the hero course entered the classroom. I slid off my headphones as the people who were practically older siblings to me stood in front of the classroom.

"The best of the hero course." Sero spoke up in awe. My classmates joined in.

"The big three." Kirishima couldn't contain his excitement.

"Oh, wow!" Mina exclaimed, her cuteness causing me to smile. I mean, everyone was cute when they got excited. Mina was just number one.

"Of all the talented students here, they're the ones at the top." Iida stated, surprised at the sudden visit. I almost felt a bit proud to even have been trained along side our seniors.

"They're on a different level." Even Yaomomo was impressed. "Still in school, but practically pro heroes."

"If they're as good as I hear, then they're the students we should be chasing after." Jiro said, glancing over at Denki.

"They don't look all that special to me. Except the girl— she's pretty hot." Denki stated, causing me to roll my eyes. I could tell his comment had some sort of effect on Jiro due to the change in tempo of her heartbeat.

"Get to it. Introduce yourselves briefly." My father spoke up, turning to the "unknown" students. "Let's start with Amajiki."

The indigo haired boy stared at my classmates' faces intensely, slightly scaring them in the process. I knew what trick he was trying to do but I'm not sure that trick has ever helped him with his social anxiety. I snorted at his cuteness, causing him to immediately look in my direction. When we made eye contact, he held a panicked look on his face. How could my dad put him on the spot like that...

(My shayla 🥺)

"It's no good." Tamaki spoke up, shaking already. "You two go. I just can't. Even if I try to imagine them as potatoes, I can see their human bodies. I know that they're still people."

"No words are coming out. My mind's blank and my mouth is dry." His little tangent seemed to confuse my classmates. Seeming him become anxious made me anxious. I guess I had a look on my face because my father nodded at me. I immediately stood up.

"I can't say anything. I wanna... go home." He turned his back to the class. I walked up to him and patted his back as the class gasped.

"Okay. So, um... are you really one of UA's top heroes?" Ojiro asked the anxious boy that currently had his forehead glued to the wall. I glared slightly at my classmate before turning to Tamaki.
