   You watched as Bakugou growled out angry swears as he clenched his fists, on his hands and knees. You let out a dreary sigh, looking back up at the results of the cavalry battle. 

   Your team hadn't been able to snag the million points. In fact, Midoriya's team hadn't even kept it the whole game. At some point, Todoroki's team had gotten the million points headband, resulting in his team getting first.

   In second place was your team. You were plenty okay settling with second place, but your team's leader obviously wasn't. 

   In third was Shinsou's team. You.. didn't exactly know who Shinsou was. You just assumed that he's the cocky looking purple haired boy standing with the other three of his team. They looked confused and disoriented. 'I wonder why...'

   Finally, in fourth, it was Midoriya's team. You're pretty sure they were able to get just enough points at the very end to make it through.

   Your attention turned back to Bakugou, who was still angrily spouting words. 'Like a toddler, throwing a tantrum...' You 'tch'ed, turning to Kirishima, who had been watching Bakugou. "Good job out there Eiji-Kun!" 

   He blinked, looking over at you, and grinned widely. "Thanks! Same to you, (Y/n)-Chan!"

   "Hah, thank you, Eiji-Kun." 

   You let out a contented breath, rubbing your temples with two fingers. Having to hear Bakugou's yelling so close had really given you a headache. All of a sudden, you heard Present Mic's voice ring out across the stadium, startling you. It didn't help the pounding in your head at all. 

   "Now, we'll break for lunch before we start the afternoon festivities! See ya!"

   "Ooh, we get a break!" You smiled slightly, turning to Kirishima again. "I'm gonna go take a walk around, okay Eiji-Kun? I'll meet you in the cafeteria in a few minutes!"

   "O-Okay!" Was his response as you turned to go somewhere quiet, just for a chance to clear your head of both your thoughts and the pain of the headache. Where are your painkillers? You reach into your pocket and pull out your small container of pain medicine. You often had to carry it with you, just in case you went over your quirks limits and you got a migraine or your hands started throbbing. 

   You popped one of the tablets in your mouth, swallowing it by dry mouth. You were used to doing it that way since you couldn't always stop to down it with water if you were in battle or something.

   You walked around the perimeter of the outside of the stadium, hands in your pockets again. The fresh air was wonderful after running around holding up Bakugou. You were about to turn into one of the little entrances that lead into the halls inside the building when you heard voices from in there. You quickly ducked back down. You were hesitant to eavesdrop until you recognized the two voices. 

   'Midoriya... and Todoroki...?'

   "What... does... that mean?"

   "It means I felt something similar coming from you, Midoriya." The aloof boy paused in his words, before speaking again. "Are you...

   "All Might's secret love child or something?"

   'Secret... love child...?' You felt pure confusion, trying to figure out if it was a joke. 'But... that day at the beach... the day of the entrance exams... I saw them together... Yeah, I saw All Might and Izuku together at the beach! All Might had caught Izuku, and they seemed to know each other, evident by how they spoke... Normally Izuku would be nervous... And they have lunch together every once in a while...'
