Flames Intertwining (Katsuki Bakugou Love Story)

Special Chapter: I-Expo in I-Island

Author's Note: This chapter is completely delayed, as I've been watching the series in order to write this story and forgot about the film that came out. If anyone hasn't seen, MHA The Movie: The Two Heroes, please skip this chapter. Sorry for the delay in writing this!

"Shouto! Can you get me some iced water please?" I yelled from the garden. The sound of Shouto's ice rang through my ears as a block of ice fell on me. "Eh?! That's not what I meant!" I yelled, prying the ice off me.
"It's better than nothing," Shouto mumbled from under a large tree in our garden. I grumbled but sighed. I used my fire to burn off a chunk of the ice, and placed it in my mouth. It quickly melted and cooled my body. I let out a sigh of relief.

Summer was beginning. After the pool races, Shouto and I decided to spend a couple days relaxing and enjoying our break to best we could. It felt like everyday we had used our Quirks to the best we could. We didn't want the hassle of heroes or work in our faces. It felt nice to relax. In our spare time, which was plenty, we visited our mother, who seemed to be doing better whenever we saw her. She'd talk for hours about us, herself or just general topics that came into her mind. I felt my heart flutter whenever we were near her. I felt like I had lost her to the dead, and now seeing her doing better and smiling for once, I felt like our lives had somewhat gone back to the way it was. When we weren't with our mother, we'd spend our days relaxing in our garden, training a little at our gyms, or visiting friends or having a simple walk together. I smiled up at the sky. I felt like this summer would be amazing.

"Homura! Shouto!"
I rolled my eyes. Shouto and I glumly walked down the stairs, seeing our father standing tall at the end of the hallway with his hands posted on his waist. He stared down at us as we looked up at him, trying not to anger him.
"I've revived an invitation to I-Island, like I do every year, but I have too much work to do, so I need you both to represent me at the I-Expo! It's a formal event, so pack your most formal clothing with your hero costumes! I will approve of your choices! You leave tomorrow!" With that, he walked away. When he was out of sight, I let out a huge groan.
"Just when I thought I was going to relax and not have to worry about anything," I sighed, and stomped up the stairs in a huff.
"There's nothing we can do," Shouto sighed, following me into our room.
"I didn't even get to tan," I whined, fumbling in my wardrobe for a nice outfit.
"That's not important," sighed Shouto, pulling out a pair of formal pants.
"It does! You're the one who's as pale as ever! You should be tanning, not me," I growled, pulling out several dresses. He groaned in response.
"Where did he say we were going?" Shouto asked.
"I think he said I-Island. I don't really listen to him anymore," I said, finding more dresses.
"Isn't that the place where all the top scientists create most of the tech for heroes?" Shouto asked.
"And where it's famous for its exhibitions and events? Aren't you even allowed to use your Quirks freely?" I asked, my eyes beginning to shine. Shouto smirked a little.
"I guess it won't be so bad," he said, picking out an outfit.
"It could be fun to see the tech they have," I said, finally picking something formal. We smiled at each other. Even though we had to do something for our father, it could still be an interesting experience.

The plane there was really long. Although flying First Class was somewhat relaxing and privileging, it got quite boring after a while. I ended up sleeping most of the time in the plane while Shouto completed an entire book. I looked like a mess when we came off our flight.
"Which way's the hotel?" I yawned, having bags under my eyes.
"This way," said Shouto, carrying our bags as he handed me the map. I yawned again and scanned the map, luckily taking us the right way. It felt odd for others to recognise us. It was mostly because of our father, but also for the Sports Festival. I felt a little embarrassed for everyone to see me in such a horrid state, but I ignored that fact and lead us to our hotel. It looked quite expensive, as our father only seems to favour those types of things. We had huge beds to ourselves and even a TV. I collapsed onto the bed and felt like sleeping even more, but Shouto threw a pillow at me.
"Get up. We need to unpack and check in for the I-Expo and confirm we'll be representing the old man," he said. I groaned and slowly got off my bed, and started unpacking my hero costume. I put it on, brushed my messy hair and yawned loudly.
"I'm ready," I moaned.
"Finally," said Shouto. I lightly pushed him out the door, stomping after him. After leaving the hotel, we walked through the crowded streets, completely awestruck by everything around us. The sights, events and even people looked so cool. My eyes widened in wonder as we slowly walked around and into the I-Expo. Even while Shouto was talking to the staff about our invitation, I still gazed around me.
"Look!" I said, pulling Shouto away into another building. Shouto reluctantly followed me, and saw a scoreboard.
"What's that?" he asked.
"Can we try it?" I asked, ignoring his question.
"What is it?" he asked again.
"It's a scoreboard of who can defeat robots the quickest. Wanna bet on who can do it faster?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. Shouto sighed but smirked.
"I'll go first," he said, and requested a go. I watched him walk into an arena, surrounded with rocks, and a lady shouting into a microphone. I impatiently tapped my foot as I watched Shouto create a wall of ice over the rocks.
"Wow! Wow! Wow! F-Fourteen seconds! He's jumped to the top!" yelled the host, receiving a huge cheer from an audience. I stretched my fingers. My turn. I confidently hovered over the starting point, smirking at Shouto who stood by the host. "We have another challenger! Oh! They're actually twins! I wonder who'll beat who! Ready... go!" I shot up into the air, spotting every robot I needed to destroy. Keeping an eye on all of them, I shot my line of fire towards them, defeating them immediately. "That's amazing! Fourteen seconds, too!" screamed the host, the crowd going wild. I landed next to Shouto as we cunningly glanced at each other.
"Tch, you're lucky I felt bad for you," I smirked.
"I made it easy for you," sighed Shouto. Suddenly, we heard a huge explosion. My eyes widened when I heard a familiar yell.
"Half-and-Half B— Homura!" Bakugou screamed, changing his tone of voice immediately after spotting me.
"Bakugou," me and Shouto said. Bakugou didn't know what to do. I could tell he wanted to scream at my brother but couldn't do it in front of me.
"Homura!" I heard. I turned and saw Momo, Kyoka and Ochacho. My eyes widened. I smiled and walked to the side of the starting point.
"Very nice to see you all here," I beamed up at them. They smiled and waved down at me. It wasn't long until I heard a familiar scream.
"Apparently suddenly trying to make everyone think you're amazing, you bastard?!" Bakugou yelled in Shouto's face.
"Did you really wait for Homura to leave for you to get angry at me?" Shouto sighed, looking behind Bakugou to look at everyone.
"Don't change the subject! Why the hell are you two here, anyway?" Bakugou growled.
"We're here to represent our father, who was invited," Shouto calmly said.
"Um... the next person is waiting..." whimpered the host, trying to break up the two boys.
"Shut up! I'm going next!" Bakugou yelled. I sighed. I began walking towards them to stop them from yelling, but I heard quick footsteps from behind me.
"Everyone, stop! UA's embarrassing secrets will be exposed to the world!" Iida yelled, speeding past me. Midoriya and Kirishima jumped over the fence onto the stage, running over to us, yelling at Bakugou to calm down. I joined Shouto, watching Kirishima try to hold down Bakugou with little success. We glanced at each other, sighing at the commotion, but smiling slightly. It felt nice to be around everyone again.
