Go Beyond (Bakugo x OC)

Showing Off

BAKUGO'S POV
He made me look like an idiot. Now everyone will think I'm weak.

All Might walked me back to the group to review the footage. No one said anything to me.

"Despite the results, the MVP of this exercise is," Deku's out of commission. I was the only one who put up a real fight. No matter who won, I was still the be-, "Young Iida!" What?

"Huh?" He asks, just as confused as I am. My fists clench and my body trembles with irritation.

"Shouldn't it be one of the heroes instead?" Tsu asks.

"Why?" Haze speaks up. I look to her but she doesn't look at me. "Iida didn't abandon the mission once. Izuku and Uraraka did great, but in the end they were exhausted and basically defeated. Iida protected the weapon as best he could, even though his teammate abandoned him." She's looking at me now, but its not a look that I like. "He did everything a villain would."

I clench my jaw tightly. She probably thinks I'm some weak loser, who can't even handle a nerd like Deku.

"I think if Bakugo stuck to the mission and worked with Iida, instead of letting his personal vendetta blind him, he could have come out on top." She shrugs. "But I guess we'll never know."

"She's absolutely right." All Might says. "Now let's set up for the second match."

She walks over to Shoto. "Good luck, try not to exhaust yourself, I still want a fair fight." It should've been me.

He smirks. "Exhaust myself? Not likely."  He walks away and she stands against the wall. I could go talk to her, try to play it off cool, but she'll just ignore me. Before I can even decide Kirishima, Sero, and Tokoyami start talking to her. Whatever they're saying is making her laugh. My jaw clenches harder, my teeth grind. They're laughing at me. I can feel it. They're telling her I'm a loser, not even worth her attention. Well they're all going to pay.

I march over to them and shove Sero.

"Hey! You think that was funny? Why don't you say it to my face!?" I yell, getting in his face.

HAZE'S POV
"Whoa, Bakugo chill. It's not like that." Sero says.

"Yeah right! She only laughs at my expense. So what the hell is so damn funny?" His face is in rage mode and his body is in fight stance. His eyes are actually kind of sad. He's not wrong. When we were hanging out, the only times he made me laugh was when I was laughing at his mannerisms.

"Bakugo, I promise it wasn't what you think." I say trying to calm him down, but he won't look at me. I actually feel bad for him.

"Everything all right over here?" All Might's easily recognizable voice is heard behind me. Bakugo's eyes meet mine, he scoffs and walks to the back of the room.

"I didn't realize he was so sensitive." I tell Kirishima.

He shrugs. "Me neither, but I think it might be because he doesn't know us all very well. I mean we all just met a few days ago. And him and Midoriya have known each other for years. Maybe there's something that we don't know."

I nod. "I guess you're right."

"Maybe you should go talk to him." Kirishima brings up.

I look at him confused. "Why me? He'll probably just scream at me."

He shrugs. "I don't know, he seems to like you. I mean he yells at you less than most."
