Heatwaves (Katsuki Bakugo x Reader)

Chapter 3 | Push comes to shove

You and Izuku enter the classroom again. Immediately noticing that Katsuki has not made it back yet you feel intrigued. Does he really need to go cool off because of your exchange.

"You can just call me Deku" the smile never failing to be on the green boys face. You give him a puzzled look but don't get to ask more as he is then called away by the brown haired girl from earlier.

Taking that as you cue to find you seat again you place yourself in the same spot at before. Kind of hoping and then not hoping Bakugou will be back soon. You double check your pockets. Seeds in the left and pebbles in the right. Taking out one pebble you start fidgeting it in your right hand. It's a small thing about the size of the tip of your thumb. You make it dance between your fingers with your quirk and try to focus on nothing in particular just clearing your mind.

You feel him before you see him. The heat of his presence is not to be mistaken, his yelling was also a good indicator. "Get out of my way extra!" Izuku is pushed to the side. Katsuki approaches his seat and gives you an angry sideways glaze and you avert your eyes.

He makes a tsk sound as he dismisses the situation and slams down in his seat. A notebook is on your desk and you open it on the first page. Grabbing a pen from your case you scribble a message down.

Don't be mad Kacchan you might just explode

You knew it was kind of childish but still you can't help yourself. The pebble still in your right hand will serve perfectly for this. You rip the page and meticulously fold it around the small rock. Lifting the small piece of gravel inside with your quirk and making it flick at Bakugous left temple making it drop down on the table. Bullseye.

As he unfolds and reads the note his shoulders are tensing up and you suppress a laugh. He stiffly starts to turn to face you again. You silently scoot to the edge of your seat getting ready for an earful.

BOOM!

The door is bashed in and an enormous figure enters the class just as the bell rings. "I HAVE..." his voice reverberate through the class "COME THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE NORMAL!!". It's enough to make Katsuki turn back around and face forward. You blow out the breath you had been holding.

The whole class is gushing over the famous hero teacher All Might, and you must admit he is an impressive figure.

"Today we'll be doing BATTLE TRAINING". You notice the hotheads whole body change. No longer tense and angry but itching with excitement. "And for that you'll need these!!" All Might makes a grand sweep with his arm indicating hidden panels on his left. In the same instance four racks pop out will all the hero costumes for the class. "After you've changed come meet me at ground beta".

Everyone gets up from their seats to get their outfit. You notice smoke coming from Katsukis left hand and the note nowhere to be seen. His right hand going into his pocket, with your quirk you sense the pebble still in his grasp. He is like a different person now. Not driven by anger or resentment but pure passion.

Making your way up to the shelves you realize your costume is not among the bunch. Bakugou gets up on the right side of you, flashing a huge grin. Looking mean in a totally different and not completely unattractive way. He catches you off guard with a playful growl "You have no idea newbie". That's all he says before snatching his costume and leaves the room.

The towering number 1 hero approaches you with a smile rivaling Izukus. Friendly, inviting and not at all as manic as Bakugous. "Are you y/n?" You crane your neck to look at him.

"Yes sir"

"In that case I have your costume with me. The administration contacted the academy to check if you had applied for a costume with them. Luckily it arrived morning" He extends a huge hand with a bag.
