Silent Scream (Kirishima x Reader)

Chapter 3

"What the hell you said! Come back here!" Bakugo screamed out as the team who stole our headband. "Since Midnight said this was the first game, it wouldn't make sense for them to cut a ton of people, right?" Looking over to the team I saw a blonde boy tie the headband he stole from us around his neck leaving us with zero points. This guy is to cocky for his own good. I don't know what the guy said to piss Bakugo the hell off but I could feel the intense aura coming from him. "Kirishima....Change of plans." Bakugo's voice came out through his gritted teeth. "We're going to kill every last one of these class B rejects." Moving forward we went after the team who stole our points. When Bakugo was about to strike him with an exlosion they guy dodged and sent a explosion back at Bakugo. Then when Bakugo sent another explosion the guy harden his skin. "Hey that's my quirk!" Kirishima. "So that's his quirk... He can copy other people's quirks." The boy gave us a cocky look that made me cringe. "Maybe you guys can learn from the new girl. She seems smarter then you." After making that comment Bakugo launched off of us going after that arrogant boy. "Hey don't go off on your own!" Kirishima called out. When Bakugo got close he seemed to have stopped in mid air almost as if he was floating. Someone must have a force field that's blocking Bakugo. The sound of something shattering broke me out of my thoughts. Looking up I could see that Bakugo had punched through the shield proving my theory right. I noticed that Bakugo began to fall back. My quirk isn't fast to reach him in time before he falls on the ground. "Sero!" As if reading my mind Sero produced the tape from his elbows. "I'm on it!" Sero wrapped his tape around Bakugo's waist pulling him back to our group. "Great job! You grabbed two headbands we're in third place now!" I'm happy that we made it back on the board. I really don't want to deal with my mother if I failed this round. "We're not done. We're going after the rest of those headbands then...we're getting the 10 million!" I have to admire this guy for his determination to win. His confidence gives me the strength to keep going. "Hey Shadow girl? Use ur quirk and grab the rest of those headbands!" Bakugo didn't have to tell me twice. I want to win this too! Sending out my black vines I grabbed the rest of the headbands from around that guy's neck. The shock on his face made me grin. When I got a hold of the headbands I handed them to Bakugo to tie around his neck. Once the headbands were secured we made our way to the ice wall where the 10 million was. We made it to the ice wall Bakugo blasted his way through it shattering it as if it was nothing. "Let's go Bakugo!" Kirishima and Sero yelled out as Bakugo got closer to grabbing the one of the headbands. This is it we're going to win...."And times up!" Midnight called the end of the game and announced the winners of the game. I was disappointed that we didn't win first place but I was relieved to be moving on the next round. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Kirishima and Sero running up to me. "Hey (l/n), we got second place and we get to move on to the next round." I nodded my head at Sero and looked back at screen to see the other teams. "Yo (y/n) since we're going to have a lunch break before the final round do you want to eat with me." Kirishima gave me a warm welcoming smile. I never met someone who could shine so bright. It honestly made me feel some hope. "Yea thats fine." I answered in my monotone voice. "Great let's go!" Kirishima grabbed my hand and dragged me over to where the food was.
The line to get food almost went out the door. Honestly I felt like skipping lunch but I need the energy for next event. Plus, I don't think Kirishima will let me out of his sight. What's his deal? I never understood why he's so friendly towards someone like me. "Your quirk is really flashy you know." My head snapped over to where Kirishima was standing next to me. "To make it as a hero these days, you need to be a source of entertainment and for that you need to stand out." Kirishima looked down at the ground with a devastated look. "My quirk just allows me to harden my skin... it's nothing special." So he's insecure huh. I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Kirishima. His quirk isn't useless, but if I had a quirk like his maybe mother would treat me better. Or we could've been a normal family. Even though he felt this way about himself the fact that he is still standing and fighting proves that he deserves to be here. Looking at Kirishima I started to remember why I wanted to become a hero. "It doesn't matter what your quirk is. You still got into a top school and in the best class. You made it to the final event with nothing but your own power so... have more faith in yourself." I was never good at these things but seeing Kirishima put himself down like that stirred something inside me. I don't what kind effect this guy is having on me. If I want to be a hero I can't just save people physically. Kirishima looked up at me with a tint of red on his cheeks. "Thanks (l/n), you're actually a nice person. Lets be friends!" Kirishima stuck out his fist towards me while I stood there in shock. A friend? It's been so long since I could call someone my friend. Ever since dad left I was nothing but a prisoner in my own home. But here is someone hardly knows me wanting to be my friend. His bright smile was almost contagious. I could feel lips move upward just for a second. "Sure. Lets be friends." I told Kirishima returning his fist bump.
