It'll only get better//Todoroki x oc/reader

Chapter 23

"You all have 10 minutes to get into your teams and get in position....START!" Midnight confidently announced and as soon as she did everyone began to scramble across the arena in search for teammates.

'Hmm I guess I could go with Todo- wait no I'm trying to beat him not rely on him! Maybe Shinsou's group? Or heck even Midoriya's?' You snapped out of your train of thought when a loud irritating voice called your name.

"Oi Mitsuki! Get your ass over here now you're on my team!" You suppressed the urge to eye roll and slowly made your way over to him and the group of students that were swarming him.

"And why has that already been decided for me Bakugou?" You ask sweetly whilst still adding some bite to your tone.

He barges his way out through the crowd until he's standing a couple of inches from you. He then bends down so you guys are facing each other eye to eye whilst you try to stand straight in an effort to make up for your lack of height.

"Because you owe me one remember?" He says in devilishly cocky tone whilst grinning immensely. You're the first to break eye contact and take a second to reflect back on your words from the obstacle course.

'Thanks Bakugou, I owe you one!...goddammit I do owe him a favour for saving me from that falling robot piece after all.' You realised. You stared back up at the smug hedgehog and let out a long sigh. "where should I stand?" You asked begrudgingly.

He smiled even more much to your annoyance and led you to where the giant group of classmates still were. "Pick me pick me!" "I have the better quirk Bakugou!" "chose me!" Are some of the whines that you heard from your classmates.

'Have you no shame?' You thought with a confused look on your face. You stood there aimlessly as you watched Bakugou choose his other teammates (after relearning what all their names were but still choosing stupid nicknames for them anyways.)

You turned to your left to see Todoroki with a half formed team. You noticed that Yaoyorozu was stood by his side as he was picking others for his group. 'She must've gotten picked already but I'm not surprised.' You guessed as you waved at her when she saw you.

She sheepishly waved back with an uneasy grin on her face and you can tell that she was a bit tense for the event. You've always pictured Yaoyorozu as a perfectionist so maybe she must've felt some pressure being on a team with the number 2 hero's son.

Speaking of, icy hot also noticed you from across the field and started to mouth something to you. 'Join my group' he mouthed whilst tilting his head towards his group of applicants.

You shook your head with a sad smile and mouthed back 'I owe him a favour' whilst shrugging your shoulders. This made him tilt his head towards Bakugou's figure and immediately put on a disgusted face.

You laughed at his antics whilst he mouthed back 'poor you' with a small smile on his face. "Hey what's so funny?!" You jumped at Bakugou's sudden presence beside you and tried to hide your amusement.

"N-Nothing!" You said back a bit too happily which earned a scoff whilst having to get dragged back to the now formed team.

'How did things come to this?' you groaned internally as you waited for present mic to finally announce the start of the match. You were currently on Bakugou's right side in a very challenging position having to support half of his weight. However you had to bear it.

After a long period of going through your team's strategy for the hundredth time, which is to and you quote 'kill Deku', Present mic finally starts the countdown for the cavalry battle.

Despite being in a team with your recently declared rival, you feel quite confident having a powerhouse like Bakugou on your team rather than having to face him.
