(AN) Thank you for reading! I hope this story lives up to the expectations.
The amount of onlookers in the Sports Festival arena is daunting. This is a lot different from the way I've always fought. As a villain, my fights are without an audience and there's certainly no one ever clapping.
As a hero egg..I'm starting to realize I'll be in the spotlight a lot. That's difficult to get used to.
Kirishima grinned his fanged grin while looking around the stadium. Huh. He's good under pressure.
"This kinda makes me nervous" Kirishima was saying.
"I'm not worried Weird Hair, this just makes me want to win even more". Bakugou's determined smile is creeping me out. Can this boy make a facial expression that's not horrifying?
The sound of the crowd is deafening. The screaming audience only grows louder when the pro hero Midnight came into the spotlight.
A sudden very relevant question popped up in my mind. I turn to Kirishima.
"Hey, Eijiro, how did you become friends with Bakugou? And..why?" Tilting my head I wait for him come up with an answer.
"Well, you know when you first meet someone and you just sorta click?" Kirishima made a clicking sound with his mouth.
He's the opposite of friendly. He's unfriendly. As in, don't be friends with him." I point out. Kirishima's face furrows, his eyebrows make a funny 'V' shape.
"Shiki, I don't think you have any room to talk. But you know what's funny? My Bro said the almost exact thing about you." I feel offended by his honesty.
I was about to respond until Bakugou smacked the back of my head. I turned to punch him.
"Listen when your shitty name is called damnit!" Bakugou said harshly. My ego is getting hit hard today.
"Suzuki Shiki we need you to represent the students. Come say something encouraging to your fellow young heroes!" Midnight sounds irritated at me.
Oh. I realize the Pro Hero was calling me up to join her on the stage for the past minute.
I try to beat down a blush but it overwhelms me. I walk quickly to the podium with the microphone. The stage where everyone all around the nation can see me. What am I gonna say? I didn't sign up to be the center of attention!
I stood there in the spotlight. My blank face blown up to a large size on the big screen. Oh no.
"..I'm just gonna say, good luck" I paused for a moment to regain my thoughts.
"Everyone has worked hard to be here, and today their hard work will pay off. Do your best." I tried to come off sounding enthusiastic but I'm not sure I made it. Either way, I heard cheers from the stands while I walked back to class 1A.
I felt embarrassed about how I froze up. My breathing was shallow and I gripped my sides in an attempt to cover myself in some way.
My red hair covered my face as I stared at my shoes with wide eyes. I can't believe I froze in front of the entire nation.
Around me, the girls in my class Asui, Ashido, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, Hagakure and Jiro crowded me. When I didn't answer their questions if I was okay they all hugged me at once.
I can't remember the last time I was hugged. I stood there with my knees threatening to give out on me.
Their group hug is joined by some of the boys. I glimpsed the spiky red hair of Kirishima and I hear the gross giggle of Mineta.
I breathe in deeply to calm myself and fought off the tears threatening my eyes.
This is so strange for me to be emotional like this.
Heroism makes me emotional.
