Kirishima was ignoring him.

Bakugo was sure of it, there was no way he couldnt have seen that bright bastard all week, its pratically impossible to not run into Kirishima- the boy was everywhere.

Yet, there wasnt a single sign of him.

Bakugo let out a soft growl and stared at the half empty glass of water in his hands. It was almost 2 am, but his mind had him on edge, wondering the dorms layout instead.

He couldn't bring himself to admit it, but it was fucking with him in all the ways he hates most- reminds him all to much of how lonely he was before coming to UA, before Kirishima forced himself into his life like a contagious disease.

The ash blond started thinking about sharp teeth and spiky red hair- bakugo coughed and drowned the rest of the cup before setting it in the sink.

If Kirishima didnt want to be his friend anymore, then neither did He.

"We'll be training in pairs today," Aizawa announced tiredly, a yawn escaping his lips. "You do not get to pick your partners, that'll be up to All M- Mr. Yagi and I."

The class groaned out, all besides Iida who agrees with everything that the teachers say.

"Im sorry, but its to test all of you on your skills with the case of being in a situation where your quirk isnt compatible," Toshinori came into view, large hands waving apologeticly. "You'll take turns playing Villian vs Hero so its fair."
"Mhm." Aizawa mumbled and walked to stand next to the giant man, even in his natural form.

Kirishima started to sweat, training jumpsuit suddenly to constricting for his liking. What if he got paired with Bakugo? He wouldnt know what to do or how he'd be able to look the man in the eyes- not without rembering what he looked like underneath him or how hot his lap was.

"-Kirishima, you'll be paired with Todoroki."

"Alright, t-that'll be one manly challenge!" He bumped his fists together and smiled wide, pretending not to feel Bakugo's eyes digging into his back as he jogged over to where the multi-colored boy was awkwardly waiting.

"Yep, totally manly." Kirishima coughed as the others were being paired up.

"Ive never thought of being in a fight with you."

Kirishima smiled at the sudden speech from Todoroki, who was rather quite as they walked to the field to train.

"Really? Well me neither! I think itll be cool though since you have the two powers which i totally suck with!" The red head laughed, trying to loosen the tense atmosphere that clung to the taller boy. "But i gotta admit, i thought youd be paired with Kaminari! He uses electricity so id be hard for you to get close and keep him in one spot?"

Todoroki paused his steps, eyes staring directly into Kirishima's own. "I figured you'd be paired with Kaminari."

"Eh?! Why me though?" He let out a loud laugh, followed by a snort that suprised both him and the other. "Id win in a fight with Denki."

Todoroki's head seemed to tilt to the side in confusion. "How come? You stated that it is difficult for him to stay in one place."

Kirishima smiled at him and held up his fists to show off that he was ready to start his round, his "hero" sticker shining from the bright sun above. "Thats because he doesnt have any endurance. My hardness lasts longer than his ability to control his quirk, which is why id win, but i also have really thick skin. If he managed to hit me, id barely feel it, making him use all of his power and become stunned because of it!"

"I see. That makes alot of sense."

"- I dare you to lick one of Iida's engines!" Ashidos announced, pointing a pink finger at Midoriya, the bottle tip just a reminder of hell.

"Um," he fiddled with his thumbs, "i dont think thats safe. And its also up to Iida, forcing him to do something he doesnt have to partake in isnt nice."

Everyone in the room started laughing as the pink girl rolled her eyes. "Youre to pure for this world Deku, dont you know this game is SUPPOSED to do exactly that?"
Midoriya looked over to Kirishima and Todoroki for help, but he only got a shrug and yawn in return. Hes been seeing the two of them hang out lately, especially after Todoroki bested the red head in the mockery battle.

"He can't. Iida isnt here, he's in a student body meeting you fucking idiots."

Midoriya looked up as Bakugou entered the common room, one hand in his black pajama pants and the other holding an emtpy mug. Skull decorations seemed to litter every item the boy owned.
"Damn!" Ashido signed, visibly disappointed. "It would have been so funny too..."

"Hi Kacchan, is Sue okay?" The green haired boy asked as Bakugou stomped past the small group. He went with Sue to Recovery Girl after he burned a hole through her tongue in the earlier battles.

"Shut up, of course she is." He growled and glanced at Kirishima, who was telling something to Todoroki. Midoriya watched as Bakugou seemed to stiffen after that.

Wait, what?

Kacchan's mad at Kirishima?

Midoriya frowned and stared at the two red boys and replayed everything he could think of as to why Kirishima wasnt teasing Bakugou or hanging off the boys shoulders like he always does. Did they have a fight? Thats not likely, Kirishima is to nice to yell at anyone, and Kacchan would have said something to him already-

Midoriya gasped as someone pulled on his wrists.

"Are you okay bro?" Kirishima's face was twisted in concern, but his wrist was cold. He looked down and saw Todorokis hand on him, a silent promise of support. 

"Oh yeah!" He bubbled out in embarrassed laughter. "I was just thinking about stuff."

Hmm...
