The Next Generation [My Hero Academia FANFIC]

Chapter Four

One Week Later
Kaminari's POV:
Kaminari: Cannot believe you were actually being truthful with that letter...

Toga laughed.

Toga: And I can't believe that you took my letter seriously, and hey, your friends are safe as a result. So I guess we have that in common.

Kaminari: No, really though... why did you warn me about that ambush?

Toga just shrugged.

Toga: Felt like I needed a change of pace. Even if it ended up a one-time thing... besides, attacking random students isn't a part of what I and a few friends of mine consider necessary.

Kaminari: Change of pace...? Aren't you supposed to, y'know, not give that info up?

Toga frowned.

Toga: Hey, you can at least thank me for the heads up, I might not do that all the time you know.~

Toga looked down.

Toga: Besides, don't you think it's possible that some of us don't—

My phone started ringing, cutting her off mid-sentence. I took it out and looked at the caller ID. Kirishima. I looked up at Toga nervously.

Kaminari: Uh, hey, my friend is calling me like it's urgent...? Should we meet up some other time?

I was waiting for her to get annoyed, but instead she just shrugged.

Toga: Sure, how about Sunday?

Kaminari: Uh, okay. That works. And, thanks for the heads up.

Toga smiled at me, and I felt a familiar fluttering in my chest.

Toga: You're welcome, Kaminari-Kun.

The two of us parted ways as I picked up the call.

Kaminari: Hey dude, what's up?

-Kirishima: U—Uh, Kaminari-Kun...? Can you come back to the dorm please...?

I tilted my head, immediately noticing him calling me formally.

Kaminari: Sure, I'm on my way back, what's the matter?

-Kirishima: I'll tell you when you get here, don't tell anyone else about this please...?

Kaminari: Okay, sure dude... I'll be there in a minute.

-Kirishima: See you then...

Kaminari: See you then?

I spent the whole walk to our dorm with a bunch of question marks floating around my head. What was he talking about...?

Once I walked in I heard somebody in Kirishima's room. I walked in and saw Kirishima curled up in bed, and heard him crying. I walked over and sat down, patting Kirishima on the back.

Kaminari: Hey dude... you okay...?

Kirishima pulled his head out from under the covers and shook his head.

Kirishima: N—not very manly to be acting like this, huh...?

I didn't know how to respond, almost everything I could say sounded wrong in some way, shape, or form.

Kaminari: Do you, want to tell me what happened...?

Kirishima sat up and nodded.

Kirishima: It's... about Bakugo. And what he said to Midoriya-Kun and Todoroki-Kun...

I frowned, still feeling mixed about it. I'm not surprised he'd be upset to hear the news, but I didn't think he'd drop so low to scare Midoriya-Kun like that and make him cry. I mean that's not unlike Bakugo-Kun, but geez... that was a low blow, even for him.
