bandaid | katsuki bakugo

twenty

(hey yall 🥹🫶🏻 sorry for the giant gap between 19 and this one. life has been getting a head start to me and i've been trying my best to manage! but i'm back and i'm ready to start posting again! 👁👄👁 i hope you know that i will be making extra edits to past chapters in both bandaids and rocket, since omg there's a bunch. but thank you all for the support either way 🫶🏻🫶🏻)

yukiko looked down at the sparring grounds, tilting her head, "oh, mom, that's shoto todoroki. he's endeavor's son."

"oh? endeavor! i know him." yuko perked up, looking around, "i saw him while we were walking up here." she tapped her chin, before pointing to the side, "there he is! he's so much taller than i imagined."

"please don't go onto one of your fangirling moments." yukiko hid her face behind her hand, "i swear, you and izuku have to be related in some way. you're both totally obsessed with heroes."

"i guess that's just how you are when you're quirkless." yuko shrugged, "you got to fantasize about what you don't have, like how a hungry dog fantasizes about a slab of meat."

yukiko smiled, "funny metaphor." she looked back at the match, "he has both ice and fire. it's wicked. you should've saw him at the USJ, he froze that monster in place."

yuko lips made an "o" shape, "so, he helped you?"

"him, izuku, katsuki, and eijirou. you know, the one with the spiky red hair?"

"oh, yeah! he's a fun guy. he dresses like my dad."

yukiko laughed, "he really does."

"tell me more about this todoroki guy! i'm curious. i bet being the teacher's assistant for 1-A has a ton of advantages." yuko leaned onto the back of benches.

"shoto's endeavor's son, but, clearly, he's nothing like him... he's more reserved, and if i could ever say so myself, he'd be a genius. he's powerful. definitely pro hero material." yukiko explained, "but," she looked at him softly, "it's kind of sad. i've only seen him use his right side. ice."

"hm? why, though?! he has such a powerful quirk and he uses one side?! half his skill?! what kinda bullshit is that!" yuko complained.

yukiko jumped, "woah, mom, chill out." she chuckled nervously, apologizing to the people sitting on the bench.

"if i had that quirk, i wouldn't let it hold me back, no matter what!"

"you say that for every quirk you see though." yukiko mumbled, "but still, if he has a good enough reason, i wouldn't push him."

yuko raised her nose to the air, "hm, makes sense."

the fire admitted from the corners of the sparring ground and yukiko jumped. the round must officially be starting.

"enough standing around! now, welcome to the ring, out next players!" Present Mic announced cheerfully.

the large screen under the booth showed an image of both shoto and sero with their names under their photos.

"hanta sero, who's he?" yuko asked.

yukiko smiled, "he has the coolest quirk! i think it's awesome. he'd be an amazing capture hero." yukiko chuckled, "dude has tape... flying out his elbows!" she held her hands behind her head so her elbows were in view, smiling as she made a fwosh sound with her mouth.
