[REWRITTEN]

19

You woke to Shouto nudging your face with his shoulder that you were laying on. You hummed in a response and yawned with a stretch. "I think this match will be interesting. Or as you said it, "real"." Shouto mentioned with his blank face. You immediately felt awake after he said that and turned your head to see who was versing in the last duel of the first round in the finals. Your eyes widened in uptight. It was Katsuki vs Ochaco. 'This is not going to end well.'

You heard Tenya ask Izuku what his advice for Ochaco was and Izuku said that she needs to strike first and touch Katsuki to send him out of bounds using her quirk. You lightly cracked a smile at the thought of what Katsuki would look like being floated out of bounds. "Come on Ochaco, you can do it." You said above a whisper as if your encouraging Ochaco through telepathy.

Ochaco predicts Katsuki's first attack but is unable to avoid it, getting blasted with his signature right hook. He tells her something and attacks, but he ends up exploding her P.E uniform top that she sent through the smoke as a distraction. You smile at her victory. Ochaco gets the drop on him, but Katsuki's lightning fast reflexes allow him to counterattack and blast her away. She continues her onslaught, attacking Katsuki over and over without rest.

He continues to use his explosions to keep her away, upsetting the viewing crowd. You start to think that Ochaco is getting desperate with her attacks. The viewing fans and heroes start to boo Katsuki for being too rough, but Aizawa calls out the heroes. He explains Katsuki's fierceness is an acknowledgement of his opponent strength, and he's simply doing everything he can to keep Ochaco at bay so he can come out on top. You smirked at your bandaged friend and sent a gratitude smile even though he didn't see it.

The smoke clears from the initial scuffle, and Ochaco remains undeterred, still standing from Katsuki's barrage of explosions. Katsuki slowly looks up. You follow his eyes to see a vast amount of debris floating above the stadium. As Ochaco releases her quirk, causing all the debris to fall down towards Katsuki, she rushes at him to try and capitalize on an opening. However, Katsuki effortlessly unleashes a large, powerful explosion that repels all the debris, horrifying his opponent as she gets blown away as well.

You felt a wave of unexpected excitement because being the thrill seeker you are, you want Katsuki to be a fun opponent for you. Ochaco tries to stand up and fight, but ends up collapsing, having reached her limit after taking the brunt of many explosions. Despite losing consciousness, Ochaco crawls towards Katsuki. She ultimately falls unconscious and Katsuki is declared the winner of the match. Midnight has Ochaco carried off to Recovery Girl's office, and Katsuki leaves the ring, having advanced to the next round.

"That was..." "Brutal." You finished for Shouto. "I better go to the waiting room to prep up for my battle with Midoriya." Shouto said with a spit in Midoriya's name then walked off, lightly brushing your long, wavy, soft, (H/c) hair with his warm fingers as he walks past behind you causing a massive blush to erupt on your face.

You heard teases for villainous approaches and knew quickly that Katsuki was here. He yelled at everyone then stomped toward you. "Good job, Katsuki." You congratulated. "A little extreme... but good." You smiled a closed eye smile. Katsuki huffed grumpily and toppled in the seat next to you. Eijiro and Tetsutetsu's arm wrestling commenced.

You were about to ask Katsuki why they had to arm wrestle but he answered before you could say anything. "They both collapsed like idiots in their match. Maybe if you weren't asleep like a moron you would know that." You rose a brow. "How did you know I was asleep? Was it that obvious?" Katsuki's eyes widened with his face bursting in flames. He wasn't really watching the matches either but instead watched you along with Shouto, to study your beautiful features. "Because you were in my line of vision you dick!" You snickered with an eye roll and continued to watch the intense arm wrestle with the similar boys.
