10.Speed against Speed

Aplauds are so overrated...

The rumbling below your feet sends your spine shaking and your heartbeat roaring.

Do you know what that feels like? Like a million bees are stinging you, but they are not actually there. As though your falling but your simply dozing off? You know, like when your eyes are closed in the car and you feel like your falling back. Or if your terrified with nothing to fear.

A tapping on your shoulder tugs you from your trance and trail of thought.

"Ahh! Izuku! HELLO FRIEND!" You yell, your eyes turning away from the crowd and to the innocent boy walking alongside you.

"Are you alright (Y/n)?" His soft voice echoes throughout your ears, and quickly, you let out a breath.

"Pfffft! Me? Coarse I am mate." A slight, uncomfortable chuckle follows.

He simply shakes his head in return, but a slight gulp in his throat is clear as Izuku turns back to the crowd again. He's clearly nerveous too.

"Hey Deku!" A voice that always strikes you with fear, rings across the stadium and both you and Izuku stop to turn to the source.

"You really need some new shoes, you dork." Ururaka lets out, slowing besides you both and hastily intertwining her fingers with Midoriya's.

An almost immediate blush consumes your friend's face.

"M-My shoes? I love these shoes. Th- They're cool! Everyone else like them. I mean I got all the 'What are those jokes'... But my shoes are great!" The timid boy lets out as your attention turns away from them. The entire crowd of people you walked into the stadium with, begin to slow.

The second year sports festival is about to begin...

Student's heads stand tall and proud as they stride into position, showing off their UA sports uniform contently. The air literally reeks of passion and competition. Everyone intends to win... Including you.

"Hey Nerd!"

Hmmmm. Bout' time.

You only slightly turn your head round to greet the smiling boy storming towards you, behind him, Kirishima is trailing in a similar manner, a cocky smile on his face. Its a change of attitude for the usually calm, 'manly', boy, but just like anyone here, he's been working hard- mostly.

"Bakugou play nice! She's your friend, you can't call her nerd." He yells, rubbing his stomach.

His diet will be his downfall...

"You're right." Bakugou replies. "Hey Red Ass!"

Your face grows a violent red at those words and you twist your body around towards him in an instant.

"You better watch your mouth you piece of-"

You're words fail to spur from your lips as Bakugou stops right in front of you- your face only inches apart. The foreign sensation of his breath on your skin sends your nerves sky rocketing. As if they weren't enough already.

"You better get to the final fights so I can kick your ass personally." He doesn't whisper as the words roll of his tongue, but he's quieter than usual.

You happily reply with a grin. "Bloody Oath I will. And I'll beat you too."

"If I'd trained you better, maybe. But I didn't so you still suck."

You shake your head, and gently smile. "Maybe I had time to train by myself too"

And you did...
