Months passed and the UA entrance exam was finally upon them. Midoriya excitedly skipped along with Bakugou, staying beside him the entire walk there, buzzing with anticipation. Once in the grounds, Midoriya took Bakugou's hand and pulled him along, not wanting to wait another moment. He saw Bakugou blush and roll with it so he giggled, making the other's eyes roll with a  smile.
"C'mon Kacchan! We can't be late!"

Bakugou smiled at Midoriya's enthusiasm and went along with it, though wasn't as attention-drawing. He allowed himself to be dragged along by the shorter male as they entered the large building and took a seat next to each other. Midoriya was muttering to himself as Present Mic, a tall, slender man with long, spiky blonde hair and a small mustache, explained what the practical test would be. Bakugou was about to nudge him to get him to stop when someone else beat him to it.
A boy near the front stood up with his hand raised and started complaining about something to do with the robots. This introduced a no-pointer one, that Bakugou kept in mind to ignore given the score it held. The boy near the front didn't finish there though.
"And you! There! Boy with the green hair!" He felt Midoriya tense up beside him, "Stop muttering to yourself! It's irritating for those around you who are trying to listen! That will be all, thank you." Then the boy sat back down again like nothing happened. Bakugou wanted to tell at him to 'LEAVE DEKU ALONE', but he stopped himself. Midoriya seemed lost in his thoughts, so Bakugou heated up a finger and poked him with it, jolting the other back to his senses so they could listen to the end of Present Mic's speech.
They'd all be assigned areas and Bakugou smiled more as he saw he was in the same one as Midoriya. He could protect him that way. He saw Midoriya talking to a brunette a little away from him and a pang of jealousy hit him, but he had no idea why. Bakugou sauntered over to them, scowling lightly with a raised eyebrow.
"Deku? Who's this bitch?" He roughly pointed his thumb at the pink-cheeked girl, who frowned at him angrily.
"Kacchan! Don't be so rude. This is Ururaka, my new..."
"Friend. I'm his new friend. Who are you, hedgehog-head?" Ururaka put her hands on her hips, tapping her foot impatiently.
"The one and only Bakugou. All you extras are going down!" Bakugou scorned, grinning as the girl started to fume a little at being called an 'extra', "I make the exception for Deku. Given the circumstances." The circumstances of Midoriya being quirkless, that was. Midoriya laughed softly, making Bakugou's heart beat faster. He hadn't realised how sweet to the ears that laugh was.

"Everyone get ready! The practical exam is starting in three... two... one... BEGIN!"

A loudspeaker hollered above them as the doors were swung wide open. The crowds of different people, each with their own unique quirk, ran into the facility. This was it. Their opportunity to get a place in the best hero course in the world.
