"What do you mean I went overboard?! He dodged didn't he?!"
"Barely!! You could've blown his head off with that crazy quirk of yours!!!"
"But I didn't!" Bakugo snapped "Deku back me up"
"Sorry but Uraraka-chan has a point. You do have a tendency to go overboard"
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
Bakugo, Midoriya, Hitoshi, Sero, Mina, Kirishima, and Uraraka were all walking together to school that morning from the train station and were going over the mock battles they'd had the day before with their general studies friends.
"Bakugo was just doing his best as a villain" Kirishima defended "He went full out and didn't hold back. I can respect that"
"See?!" Katsuki gestured to the red head "The guy in question is fine with it!"
"I didn't say I was fine with it, I just said I could respect it!" Kirishima squealed "Had it not been for my own quirk I would be missing an arm right now!!"
"YOU'D WHAT?!!" Shinsou and Izuku yelled, turning to Bakugo angrily and the blonde threw his hands up in exasperation
"What's going on over there?" Sero pointed to the front gate where a mob had seemed to form. The group paused, unsure on how to approach this
"Reporters?" Mina questioned "What are they doing here?"
"Great" Katsuki muttered "Now how are we supposed to get in? They're blocking the entrance"
"Sou-chan? You okay?" Izuku asked his friend, who was now pale and alert
"f-fine" he stammered out "Think there's another way in?"
"We could skirt around" Mina mused "Or toss/float you over the wall and get through ourselves"
"No quirks in public moron" Bakugo reminded
"Maybe we could do an exception?" Izuku tried and Sero shook his head
"With that many people? We'd get caught in no time" he sighed "Sorry Hitoshi, we gotta go through"
"Just pretend they're police" Mina encouraged "Keep your head down, keep your mouth shut and keep walking" Shinsou nodded pitifully
"Got it" he whispered.
"What's wrong with Hitoshi-kun?" Uraraka asked Izuku quietly as they started walking again
"Big crowds like these make him anxious because of his quirk" he explained
"Oh yeah," Kirishima said "by the way, what is his qui-"
"What is it like learning from All Might?!" A reporter thrust their mic into Izuku's face and the boy nearly fell in surprise, crashing into the red-head
"A-ah! Um, I'm in General Studies so I wouldn't know" he squeaked, pushing past them "No comment!"
The reporters surrounded the group of students, each one clamoring over the other to interview them.
"What's he like in class?!"
"What does he teach?!"
"Is he a good teacher?!"
"When is All Might- Hey! Aren't you the kid from the sludge incident?!" the group began backing into each other, Katsuki's fingers twitching in the effort not to set off his quirk
"BEAT IT!" he yelled at them, now with a protective arm around a shaking Hitoshi "WE'RE TRYING TO GET TO CLASS!!" One foolish reporter got too close and shoved their microphone towards Shinsou, grabbing the boy to keep him from escaping
