Don't Let the Spark Die [BNHA Gen 2]

Chapter 15: Stone and Fireworks

A/N: I just realised how many time skips are in this story oop-

Bakugo POV

It was just another night I couldn't sleep. Another night where someone's kidnapping was my fault. It was about 4 in the morning when I heard everyone cheering. I don't know why, no one ever came and woke me up to tell me, so I just assumed I wasn't supposed to know. 'I'll ask Akira later.' I thought to myself. Looking at the digital clock on my bed side table, the time read 6:07am. All of a sudden, I heard 2 people talking in the corridor outside my room.

"-cmon you have tell her. She'll never live with herself if you don't." It was Mr Aizawa.

"Thought you said I had to go to bed." Kirishima? What was she doing with Mr Aizawa? Who are they talking about?

"After. This first."

"Fine. But I'm not knocking." I heard Aizawa sigh as 3 knocks shook the door frame of my room. I flipped myself towards the wall and acted sleepy.

"W-Who is it?" I said with a VERY bad sleepy voice.

"It's Mr Aizawa and your classmate, Kirishima. She has something she would like to say to you. Will you open the door?" He said gently.

"Yeah I'm coming." I said as I quietly walked to the door and opened it with my head down to avoid Kirishima's eyes. I knew she was still mad at me. Mr Aizawa nudged her shoulder and she began to talk

"Hi Bakugo. I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for being rude and harsh to you before. Myself, Mr Aizawa, Kaminari's dad and some pro heroes sent out a rescue team tonight. We found Pika. She's back here in UA, in the infirmary with Recovery Girl." Kirishima said apologetically. Surprised, I looked up at Kirishima's face and saw....tears?

"I'll leave you guys to it then?" Aizawa clapped his hands together and walked away as I slowly guided Kirishima into my room by her hand.

"Can I ask you a question Kirishima?" She looked up and nodded. "Why do you care about Kaminari so much? Not in a bad way, but everyone else seemed to be able to function while she was gone. You....well you kind of just.....broke. Everyone else accepted it but not you. Why?" Kirishima started crying properly.

"Because I like her. Like, like her. My dad's away as a pro hero, as is yours and Kaminari's and whoever else's parents became pro heroes. But him being gone leaves me with my step mother. She doesn't find me very likeable, if ya know what I mean." She finishes, looking down at the floor and scuffing her feet. I pulled Kirishima in for a hug.
"I'm sorry Kiri, I'm so sorry. I never meant for anything of this to happen. I never meant for someone to go missing because of me. I wish I could take away any pain your step mother causes. Is Kaminari okay? Will she recover? Will she hate me? Does she know it's my fault?" I asked frantically, trying my hardest to make Kirishima like me again. She just grabbed my hand and smiled.

"She'll be okay. After all, we're at UA aren't we? The worst is yet to come." And with that statement Kirishima let go of my hand and left.

~Time skip to the next day~

Aizawa POV

"CLASS 1-A!! Listen up for a minute." The class's casual chatter slowly faded away as each student turned to face me at the front of the room.
"As you were all there to experience, Pika Kaminari was kidnapped a while ago, by a young new recruit at the League of Villains. And as all of you know, she has been located and rescued as of yesterday evening and early morning. Due to this turn of events, UA will be holding one of it's very rare whole school assemblies. Line up and we'll file out to the auditorium."
