Tender is the Love of the Yellow Sun

"Were you--"

"I wasn't following you. I just happen to be passing by." Aya gave him a smile before reaching into her grocery bag and taking out two drinks.

"I only have cola and yogurt. Which one do you want?" she asked holding them out to Bakugo.

Usure of where this conversation was going he reached for the yogurt not really feeling in the mood for soft drinks.

"Today was crazy wasn't it?" Aya sighed putting away the soft drink.

"What do you want?" Bakugo roughly asked, slightly annoyed.

"I want some magical being to bless me with the power to understand math." Aya nodded solemnly.

"That's not what I meant."

"I saw you on your own. I thought you'd get lonely so I came over." she continued to look up at the sky as Bakugo looked at her clearly confused.

"Maybe that's what I was going for." he snarled. Angrily opening the yogurt she had offered.

"Well, I thought you must have been here for a while now. I did leave before you did."

Bakugo didn't say anything, taking a small sip of the yogurt that turned out to be banana strawberry flavor.

"So," Aya took in a deep breath, "What's got you crying all alone in an empty park?"

"I wasn't--"

"Your eyes are swollen. Don't lie to me." Aya deadpanned.

"Tch, nothing that involves you." he went for another sip.

"It's okay to cr--"

"I'm not weak!"

"Who said anything about being weak?" Aya shot back. "Crying isn't a sign of weakness. And if you don't want to talk about it then I won't push on the matter."

"Then what are you still doing here?"

Aya looked at him. Thinking about her next words carefully. "To be honest," she began. "I'm not a very confident person."

He wanted to leave. But something within Bakugo kept telling him to stay a little longer.

"But when I look at you, you just radiate this huge aura of confidence and pride. It amazes and scares me." Aya chuckled.

"So to see you looking up at the sky with clear signs of you having cried kinda surprised me."

Bakugo didn't know what to say. He felt annoyed but he also felt as though he was having an out of body experience.

"Well, I should get going. Leave you to your business." Aya sighed standing up.

"I'll see tomorrow." Aya then went to take her leave.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" She turned to look at Bakugo one last time who now looked less troubled than before.

"It's rude to shout at people 'girl.' My name is Kaneyama Aya, you jerk." Aya huffed before turning away and speed walking out of the park.

"Excuse me!"

Do you have time to talk about our lord and savior--

"Are you in the Hero course? What's it like being taught by All Might?!"

Microphones were shoved into her face. Cameras flashing and cameras recording.

"W-w-who?"
