Entanglement Series: Of Firsts

Lunch Rush

"Alright, I'm glad that's over with. You can all go to lunch a little early. No eating outside today, the press is making a spectacle of themselves." Mr. Aizawa rolled back into his sleeping bag, not even caring that we witnessed him basically giving up for the day. I sighed and stood up, dodging Kirishima who immediately latched on to Bakugo.

"Get the fuck off of me you damn extra!"

I snickered and followed Ochako and Izuku out, Shinsou trailing behind us in a tired daze. I grabbed his hand and made him walk faster, earning a few curious glances from our classmates.

We grabbed our food and quickly found an empty table seeing as we were let out early and most of the student body wasn't present yet. Shinsou didn't hesitate to sit next to me and dragged his chair closer to mine, pressing our knees together.

"You two are awfully close," Ochako hummed. I shot her a look and Shinsou sighed, looking up at her.

"We're friends and she doesn't annoy me like most people." He picked his food back up and ignored the conversation. Huffing, I gave Ochako a look and she turned bright red when I glanced between Midoriya and her.

The conversation picked back up but once again stuttered to a halt when Bakugo plopped down next to Shinsou. Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, and Mina quickly joined our group; crowding the once empty table.

"Well, this is a fun group," Shinsou snarked while nudging Bakugo with his shoulder.

"Shut the fuck up, zombie. I tried to get rid of them but nothing fucking worked." His anguished growl had me almost losing it but I managed to hold my cackle in. Bakugo reached over and shoved me, hand lingering on my shoulder.

Suddenly, the alarms started blaring and before I could even process what was happening, I found myself being pulled along by my two soulmates - their bodies protecting mine. My anxiety clawed its way up my throat but I forced it down, knowing that a hero had to be ready for any situation.

You've trained for this. Just breathe deeply and focus on what you can control. I gripped their hands tighter and yanked them away from the crowd, towards an entrance that only the teachers used.

We raced down the corridor and paused as we looked out the window. The media were standing in the middle of the courtyard, hounding the teachers trying to get them to leave.

"There is no way that the media could be causing all this fuss." I stated, dragging them further down the empty hallway.

I was yanked back right before a knife was able to slice across my face, both the boys taking a stance in front of me. Turning so that the three villains couldn't see my hands, I whipped out my phone and shot out a quick text. I turned back around and crossed my arms, surveying the situation. I gripped Bakugo's elbow to hold him back while speaking to Shinsou.

"You can handle this, eyebags. We have faith in your abilities." I could tell by the look he shot me that he wasn't sure. He was always so anxious we would leave him because of his quirk.

"Why the fuck does he get to have all the fun?!" Bakugo snarled, lunging forward as if to attack the trio.

I yanked him back, thankful for the aid of my forcefields. I whispered in his ear about taking them out quietly in case anyone else was nearby. He barely bought it. Mumbling under his breath the entire time I was holding him hostage.

"Oi, zombie! Take care of them before they make a move," Bakugo shouted, making the three men in front of us laugh. Shinsou sighed and asked the men what they were doing at Yuei.
