What it was and what it can be

The school was chaotic the next day since all of sudden Midoriya was a celebrity. Bakugou looked like he was going to have a stroke but kept his mouth shut all the time, perhaps because of what happened yesterday or maybe because of Midoriya's response to all the attention he was getting. Midoriya knew that most of those who came trying to pat him on the shoulder, shake his hand or even exchange numbers were the same people who laughed at him a few days ago after the teacher asked if he applied to go to the U.A. Now because he made it to the news, they all liked him all of sudden, this made him even more aware of how dirty this society could be. He didn't shake anybody's hands, didn't left any open body language that could indicate someone was allowed to touch him and just said his number was for family and close friends only. To the few that treated him like a normal human being before, he explained without giving major details about his quirk.
Lunch hour finally kicked in and he almost ran out of class.

He made his way to the roof using an alternative route away from the corridors where even students from other classes were trying to see him, the boy with an unknown quirk who saved Bakugou while fighting side by side with All Might. As far as delusions and rumors go, their delusions were getting a little out of proportion. He reached his usual spot protected of the sunlight and started eating, but after just a few seconds he stopped the chopsticks halfway to his mouth and asked as if someone were there with him:

"For how long are you planning to stay there analyzing me like a creep?"

He started chewing again as an indistinct shape passed by and landed by his side.

"You're talking big now that you got your fucking quirk huh? Maybe I should teach you a lesson about how changing your eyes' color isn't a fucking quirk at all, just a fucking joke."

"Please, go ahead."

Midoriya said still eating, pissing off Bakugou who heated his hand and spun his body to make a swing, but when his palm was about to touch Midoriya's face he deviated, creating a small explosion towards the wall, followed by a tiny smoke screen that blocked his vision of Midoriya expression. When the smoke vanished he expected to see his red eyes again, but just saw the green-haired boy staring at him with his eyebrows up while chewing.

"Are you finished? I want to eat in peace Kacchan."

Bakugou got straight and instead of leaving, leaned on the wall next to where Midoriya was sitting with his arms crossed on his chest.

"How did you fucking know I was up there watching you?" He asked with a different voice, still aggressive but with a lower tone, more controlled.
'Well, this is new.' Midoriya thought
"I just knew. I felt your... Presence I guess."
"That's too vague Deku, what exactly is this shitty quirk of yours huh?"
"I got it for one day and you already expect me to know everything about it? I don't know what is it yet, but I'll let you know first hand when I do, don't worry."
"Is that a fucking threat Deku? Are you trying to fight me?"

Bakugo was smirking and his hands were sparkling as he saw the boy getting up. Midoriya had finished his bento and after brushing the dust off, stopped in front of Bakugou saying:

"Not at the moment. Don't take too long or you'll be late."

He went back inside leaving Bakugou alone asking himself who the fuck was that and where did the real Deku go
