Bakugou cut me off, leaving everyone else awkward. "Less talking, more paying attention," he snarled. My stomach turned by his tone of voice. "I'm sorry," I said underneath my breath. Although he didn't hear it, Izuku did.
"Hey, no need to apologize. It's just Kacchan!" He teased. I looked up at him, meeting his eyes. His eyes were a beautiful shade of green. I smiled at his effort of trying to console me.
"Kacchan?" I repeated. He suddenly blushed, playing with his fingers. I watched him stumble with his words. "A-actually, it's a nickname I gave him when we were in elementary. He gave me the name Deku, as well."
I smiled. I guess they're pretty close, despite the way he treats Izuku. Izuku gasped.
"It's not like that, though. You can call me Deku. Everyone does!" He smiled widely and I mirrored him. I waved good bye at him as I headed towards my teammates. Mina was the first one to clinch on me, then Kaminari.
Kirishima was shaking his head at the two.
"Yona, you gotta show us your quirk again!" Kaminari said. I felt butteries in my stomach as he complimented my quirk. "We can't use our quirk off school grounds without permission," Mina trailed off.
"Listen, two days from now, we're all going to meet at the gym after school. Since we're all friends, you should come!" Kaminari finished. Mina and Kaminari looked up at me, hopeful.
I had to get my paperwork in on time, so it might help if I stay a little. I nodded my head and they cheered.
"Great! I'll go and ask Mr. Aizawa if we could use the gym." I gave Kirishima a thumbs up. We all stopped talking when Mr. Aizawa spoke up.
"Everyone! Please listen. Take these orange ribbons with you and tie it on your wrist. Make sure it's not too tight. We're going to be playing tag." Something about the way Bakugou and Kaminari were grinning told me that it wasn't normal tag.
I started to become nervous and Kirishima noticed. "If you're ever scared, you can just come to me and I'll help you, Yona." I gulped and shook my head. "It's okay. I'll handle it. Thank you though, Kirishima." Kirishima gave me a light nudge, knocking me back to my senses
"I know you'll do great out there, Yona." Everyone formed a line, being handed the ribbons. I stared at Bakugou, watching the way he tied the ribbon on his wrist. He was gentle with it, unlike his words.
He felt my eyes on his form, immediately glaring at me. I quickly became shy and looked away, not wanting to be caught staring again.
Mr. Aizawa handed me a ribbon, but it was black. I noticed that everyone's ribbon were orange. I turned to face Mr. Aizawa.
"Mr. Aizawa, why is my ribbon black?" I asked him. He smirked.
"Because your ribbon is important. You can collect as much ribbons as you want, but if they get your ribbon, they're immediately the winner." Everyone's eyes were suddenly on me, eyeing my ribbon.
"Mr. Aizawa-" his voice overpowered mine. "Everyone! Scatter!" People were already walking towards me, trying to get as close as they can. I turn to Mr. Aizawa once again.
"This is just cruel!" I said. Mr. Aizawa chuckled and gave me a little pet on the head. "You can do it, Mori."Mr. Aizawa walked towards the exit of the gym, watching everything unfold.
"If I see students taking it too far, I will not hesitate to put a halt on this activity and erase your quirk immediately." I gulped and watched everyone. "Good luck!" Todoroki looked at me with empathy.
Todoroki was already running towards me, making me nervous. He held his hand out to me and I activated my quirk.
"Todoroki!" I said in disbelief. He chuckled a little, avoiding everyone. "I guess you don't want to team up?" he shouted at me. I looked at Mr. Aizawa for permission and he nodded his head while closing his eyes.
