Anime Avengers

Chapter 15

{Katsuki Bakugo p.o.v.}
"A group to fight against the villains? I don't even like working with those extras as it is. I can't be number one if everyone else is holding me back."
Kirishima shrugs as we're playing video games at his house, "I'm just telling you what the rest of the group was told. All Might planned it so I think we should probably trust him. Plus, since the whole school got evacuated, I would say everything is a big deal now. It's better to work as a team too. We were all pretty good at it when that team of villains ganged up at that party a while ago."
"We HAD to, there's a difference."
"You had a choice to help or standby and you chose to help actually. So you didn't actually HAVE to if you didn't want to."
"Whatever, those extras are bad for my reputation. What good is it going to do, to have a gravity chick, a midget with sticky balls, a watt guy that gets brain dead afterwards, and other useless crap? None of that is helpful and it's not going to save our lives."
"It's better to help with our quirks than to not help at all. Remember that, Midoriya tried to save you from that slime villain when All Might didn't even show up yet and everyone else stood by. He could've chose to do the same but instead he forgot everything you've done to him your whole lives and wanted to save you anyway."
"He's just a dumb nerd."
Kirishima pauses the game and stands up looking at me with a serious face.
"When we were all fighting those villains at the party, I got hurt by one and you yelled my name, later on asking if I was okay. You actually had a heart for a few minutes and actually considered helping me. I'm glad I've actually broken a piece of that barrier of stubbornness that you have, even if it's just a little piece. I care about you too. You're my best buddy and I felt like an unmanly idiot for doing nothing when you got kidnapped by The League Of Villains, just because I was so scared at the time. I wasn't the only one either. Everyone in class was worried about you. Even Midoriya. But now I will do anything for you and our friends because that's what friends are for. We all can defeat them even if our quirks aren't the best, they'll be useful at some point I guarantee, it always ends up that way. And I'll be damned if anything ever happened to my best friend again."
I just stare at him and he sits back down and resumes the game like that didn't just happen.
I'm his best friend? But I'm a jerk to everyone. How could someone accept that flaw so easily and consider me their best friend? I didn't even do anything special.
After that, neither of us brought it up again and I just walked home.
I never thought in my life that I'd be called a best friend. I don't care about anyone or anything and hurt whoever gets in my way to victory. The fact that he sees past that is bewildering.
"Kacchan!"
I turn around and see stupid Deku.
Great.
"What do you want."
"Did you hear about the-"
"If you think I'm joining your stupid group then you're mistaken. I can fight on my own."
"But, you can't possibly fight them by yourself, Kacchan. We're stronger together as a team."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"
"I-I mean, it'll be safer if you're with us. Fighting alone is dangerous."
"I can do what I want! You weak Deku!"
I walk off and hear him sigh as I do.
Everyone always thinks I need help and it's humiliating. It makes me look weak. I already think I'm weak in my own way. Clearly not when it comes to my quirk and everything else. I consider myself weak in a way that I can't really explain. But what makes me feel even weaker, is that Deku has All Might's power. Was I not worthy enough too? We admired the same person. So why did only one of us get picked? And why did it have to be Deku.
