MHA: the todoroki twins

chapter 33

Malen P.O.V.
I was in the waiting room, for no particular reason, when Uraraka walked in with Midoriya and Iida. "Hey! Malen~chan! We've been looking for you!" The pink cheeked girl said. "Huh? Why?" I asked, tilting my head a bit. "Well, we are friends aren't we?" Uraraka asked. I looked at her panicked, not expecting that answer. I've never tried to have or make friends because people thought I was weird so I got used to it. I just sat there looking down at my shoes. "Well, um I never had friends so... I don't know." I heard Uraraka gasp and looked up. "W-we'll be your friend!" Midoriya stutters. I looked up and softly smiled. "Oh um thanks Midoriya, but you don't have to." It was Midoriya's turn to look down at his shoes, extremely red. "MALEN! IT WOULD BE AN HONOR TO BE YOUR FRIENDS!" Iida said, chopping his hands in the air like normal. I felt it again. That stupid feeling in my stomach, like... like... butterflies! I could feel my face heating up again and looked away. "A-alright... We're friends now." I answered. Uraraka jumped on me, hugging me. "Yay!" I laughed slightly, hugging back slightly. This is new but... I'll make due until the signal...

Marchmi P.O.V.

"Do you think Katsu-san is okay?" Ren asked quietly, looking down. I looked at the door, not being able to hear anything and sighed. "Yeah. Shoto won't hurt her, or even yell at her..." I stopped talking for a minute then laughed slightly. "He's such a softy towards her. Don't worry." I said, patting her on the head. "I've gotta go okay?" she nodded and walked towards the stands. "Good luck Marchmi.." I heard her say quietly. I walked towards waiting room 1, thinking about my strategy. I could use both because he most likely will not use his fireside, after Midoriya... but I still need to be careful. I walked in the waiting room and saw none other than Bakugou, who was staring at the wall. "Hey... what are you doing?" I walk in and shut the door, turning towards bakugou, waiting for an answer. "None of your goddamn business! How's your friend by the way? Not that I care!" I smiled slightly and walked towards the table to sit. "Yeah, yeah, she's alright." I answered back, laying my head on the table as I heard him walk around the table and sit on the other side of me. "So... what's your plan? To fight Icy-hot?" he asked. I looked up and thought for a moment. "Well, he most likely won't use his fireside, or I hope not... but he's a lot stronger than me when he uses his ice. Our father made sure of that." I answer, looking up. "Heh... my father is going to be greatly surprised when he sees me." "how come?" Bakugou asked. "Well ever since me and my older brother ran away, he assumed we were dead. And I assume Shoto didn't mention me to father because well, my dad didn't really like me and favored Shoto so he despised him for that... guess it really broke Shoto when I left." I stopped talking and looked at him, afraid I'm talking too much. He was watching me, spectating. "What?" I asked, slightly fidgeting my fingers that were on the table. He put his hand over mine. "Would your dad hurt you?" He asked, strangely calm. I slightly look down, not answering. His hand tightened around mine, looking hostile the moment I didn't answer. "I won't let him... okay? I-I won't let him hurt you..." he laid his head on his arm, as I blushed slightly. "I- you don't have to...Bakugou..." He looks up at me and smiles slightly. "A-are you smiling?" I asked surprised, blushing harder. "Tch! Of course not... stupid peppermint..." he smiles again then returns normal. "I'm serious though... I won't let him hurt you."

Wha- a soft bakubabe?! o//////o

"I know bakugou..." I smiled then lightly lay my head on my arm. We looked at each other for a couple more minutes before I sighed and pulled my hand away. "I've gotta get going baku... my fight." I said, standing up. He stood up with me and slightly touched my cheek. "Good luck Marchmi..." He said as he walked out the waiting room, winking at me. I flustered even more and looked down. This is going to be an interesting year... I thought as I walked out to the arena.
