Bakugo x OC - I Need You

Rescue Mission

Late at night, Shiori was waiting in the front of the hospital with Kirishima and Todoroki.

She was pacing back and forth anxiously, while Kirishima watched with a concerned look on his face.

"Uh, you okay there, Shi?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." she replied, clearly not fine.

"We'll get him back, you know?"

Shiori stopped and took a deep breath. "Yeah, I know. I just... I can't wait until he's here again."

Kirishima walked towards her and put a hand on her shoulder. "You guys had a fight, didn't you?"

"Huh?"

"Before the courage test. You guys fought."

"We... yes. And I never got the chance to make it better." Shiori looked down to the floor. "And now if anything happens to him, and I-"

"Hey, nothing is gonna happen to him. It's Bakugo, remember? He's probably making those villains regret ever thinking about taking him. Even if it's just by annoying them to oblivion."

Shiori smiled. While she knew Bakugo was strong, but she also knew he must be scared - even if he would never ever admit it.

Suddenly, the hospital doors opened.

"Midoriya!" said Todoroki.

"Izuku, you've decided to come?" asked Shiori.

"Well, I-"

But before Midoriya could speak, Iida appeared, waking towards them from the street.

"Wait!" he said, angrily.

"Iida..." Midoriya whispered.

"Why... Why did it have to be you guys of all people? The ones who stopped me when I acted recklessly for personal reasons... you two, who received amnesty with me... Why are you trying to make the same mistake I did?!"

"What are you talking about?" asked Kirshima, but Todoroki put a hand on his shoulders, signalling for him to stop.

"We are still minors." continued Iida. "U.A. is in a bad enough position as it is. Who will take responsibility for your actions? Do you understand?!"

"Iida, it is not like that." said Midoriya, walking towards his friend. "We don't think its okay to break the rules either--"

Then, Iida stopped him by punching him in the face.

"I'm frustrated too!" he screamed. "And worried! It's only natural! I'm the class president, I'm worried about all my classmates!"

Shiori used her Quirk and moved with a flash to stand between Midoriya and Iida.

"Iida, that's enough." she said, quietly. "If you want to take it out on anyone, do it to me."

"What?" asked Kirshima. "Shiori-"

But she stopped him from speaking by sticking out her hand.

"Listen, Iida. They are not only doing this because they are worried about Bakugo. I did my best to convince them to do it with me, because I can't live with myself knowing Bakugo isn't safe."

"Himura, understand, I am also worried-"

"No, Iida. You don't understand." Shiori looked up at his eyes. "I know this is wrong. And I feel horrible for putting everyone in this mess with me. But I can't not do anything, because..." she took a deep breath and clenched her fists. "...because I love him."

Everyone instantly froze. To Midoriya and Kirishima, who knew Shiori and Bakugo best out of everyone, it wasn't exactly a surprise. But it didn't make the situation any less unexpected.
