  You were currently asleep on Monoma's back, your arms draped over his shoulders. Monoma had basically told you to get rest and charge up, and since he touched you, your quirk was now in his five minute "data bank", just in case. You snored, falling into dream land.

  'Hey, Mr. Dinosaur, what are you doing? You're picking flowers to make flower crowns? Can I join? Aww, boo, there's only dandelions here. A rose? For me? Thanks, but what's that gonna do for my crown?!'

  Meanwhile, as you were sleeping, Monoma and your team swiftly tore Bakugo's headband from his head, dashing away.

  "Like taking candy from a baby, Class A." Monoma said, smirking as he glanced back at Bakugo. Bakugo glared dangerously at Monoma, then noticed a small girl sleeping on his back. A wave of rage washed over him, and suddenly he was cursing up a storm.

  "You fucking fucks! Goddamn assholes! Stupid shits! Give me my fucking headband back or I'll rip it from your corpses!"

  'Mr. Dinosaur, don't use that language! What has gotten into you? I know that dandelions aren't the best thing for making flower crowns, but it'll have to do, I guess.'

  "Kirishima, change of plans. Before Deku...let's send these shitstains to some early graves." Bakugo growled, a sinister smirk on his face. You felt the heat of a blast approaching you, and your eyes fluttered open. You rubbed them, eyes still drooping.

  "Mmm...what's happening?"

  "Have a good rest, Princess?" Monoma hummed, turning his head to smile at you.

  "Princess?!" Bakugo roared, eyes widening. He didn't know why, but he felt pissed at the nickname Monoma had adoringly given you.

  "Bakugo, be careful of L/N!" Kirishima exclaimed, eyes bulging.

  "She'll be fine, Shitty Hair!" Bakugo shouted, vision clouded with rage. Monoma shifted under you, chuckling. He curled his fingers, grinning.

  "Haha...wow! This is a really nice quirk!" He exclaimed as he swiped his hand through the air, and suddenly Bakugo's team was hit with an explosion. Your eyes widened slightly, and you felt worried for your friends. Bakugo raised his head, soot covering his cheek.

  "My quirk!" He growled, narrowing his eyes.

  "Bakugo, are they copy-pasting from you, too?!"

  "Eat this!" Bakugo shouted, hitting Monoma with a powerful explosion. You almost flew off of his back from the force, and you thought Monoma was hurt, until you saw his skin had hardened, just like Kirishima's.

  "Though my quirk is far better." Monoma hummed, lowering his rock-hard hands.

  "My quirk, too?! They're totally copying me..." Kirishima exclaimed, mouth gaping open.

  "That ain't it. This guy...has a fucking copy power." Bakugo growled, glaring at Monoma.

  "Correct! Though I suppose even an idiot would figure it out." Monoma chuckled, a smug smirk painting his face. Suddenly, a large, thick liquid shot out of nowhere, landing on Bakugo's teammates feet.

  "Bondo! So you've come to fight, too?" Monoma exclaimed, and you turned to see a large guy with a weird head.

  "Monoma, we should really avoid fighting. I don't want my headband to get lost..." You sighed, eyes drooping again. Monoma glanced up at you, smiling.

  "Don't you worry, my sweet L/N, everything will be alright. Have a nice rest, 1-Aers! Let's go, guys."

  Bakugo trembled in rage, an angered smirk on his face. Not only did Monoma call you his sweet L/N, he had left his team to struggle in the hardening glue.

  'I'm gonna place first.'

  "Bakugo, don't fly off the handle!!" Kirishima shouted as Bakugo jumped off of his shoulders, soaring towards you.

  "Tsuburaba! Guard L/N!" Monoma yelled, eyebrows furrowing.

  "Right!" Tsuburaba shouted, blowing a large gust of air above your team. The air solidified, and Bakugo landed on top of it. Tsuburaba smirked, sweat dripping down his face. "Haha! Ran smack dab into an invisible barrier! Serves you right!"

  Bakugo drew his fist back, and shattered the wall of air. Your eyes widened as his hand came closer and closer to your headband, and you quickly let gas out from your pores. Bakugo stiffened, freezing in midair as he inhaled the controlling smoke. You clenched your fist, watching him angrily struggle to move, his teeth gritted.

  "Sorry, Bakugo, but I can't risk losing! I have to touch Shinsou's hair, no matter what!" You yelled, then wiggled your fingers slightly. Bakugo flew back to Kirishima's shoulders, hanging onto him limply, like a ragdoll. You snipped the strings, then tapped Monoma's shoulder, signaling him to move forward. Monoma nodded, a grin on his face. Your victory was assured.

  "Let's go!" Monoma shouted to the boys beneath him. You started to move, and you glanced backwards at Bakugo and your friends as your vision spun. You could see the defeated and angered look on his face as he stared down at the ground, and you felt a twinge of guilt.

  "Wait!" You shouted, making the boys stop. "We already have the ten million, so I'm gonna give Bakugo his headband back!"

  "Why?! That 1-A cretin deserves nothing more than a harsh loss!" Monoma exclaimed, eyes widening as he turned back to you. You looked ahead of you, seeing Todoroki and his team quickly approaching.

  "Please just do it!" You shouted. Monoma sighed in frustration, but nevertheless told the boys to turn around. You sped towards the sulking group, who was still stuck in the glue, holding out your hand. "Bakugo!"

  Bakugo looked up from the ground, eyes widening as you shoved the headband into his hand. You stared at him, determination in your eyes.

  "I want to beat you in the next round, so I can show you that I'm not just some stupid airhead."

  The ash-blonde blinked, then smirked darkly.

  "Challenge accepted, Y/N."
