The Bird Tamer

11

A knock came to your door as you rolled in your bed. It'd been a long night and early mornings weren't your thing. You groggly opened your eyes as your vision focused on your surroundings.

"(Y/n)? Tch, hey dumbass are you up?",a voice called out followed by a knock

"Who is it?",you yawned out forcing your body out of bed your mind still foggy and slowly

"It's Aizawa",the voice responded but the snarkiness and sarcasim made you react

"Oh it's you Bakugou",you grumbled as you opened the door

"You're the last one up, honestly do you intend to sleep all day?",he grumbled

"Shit..",you sighed, your sleeping schedule was a mess,"Sorry about that."

"I'm joking we all voted on letting you rest, Aizawa took over the schedule",Bakugou explained,"Don't think I was worried, I couldn't have you pulling us back!"

You laughed,"All right, I get it."

"So you better sleep ya hear me?!",he yelled but you could make out his playful tone

"Hey whose captain here?",you grinned crossing your arms

"Talk when you don't look like something someone threw up",he smirked but it quickly disappeared when a figure began approaching

"Ah captain good morning",Keigo called out as he walked over a tray in his hands,"I brought you breakfast curtousy of the chef."

"Oh morning, wow thanks",you smiled,"I'll go clean myself up,"

"Your hair looks like a rats nest",Bakugou grumbled out

You glared at him but He was looking away ignoring you. You slammed your door at him and began getting ready. You put on the basic black pants, a white tucked in longshirt. Most of the women here would wear dresses but you didn't have that luxury. Stepping out you could sense the hostility in the air as Bakugou stared Keigo down.

"Here captain, I only came to drop this off",he handed over the tray his hand brushing over yours slightly

"Thanks",you took it but it was quickly taken from your grasp by Bakugou

"I'll carry it",he grumbled as he stepped in to your room

You gave him a meek smile as he waved. You turned and followed after the spiky blonde. Staring down the blonde who just stood there waiting for you.

"What the hell?!",you exclaimed

"What?",he shrugged as he averted his gaze

"What?..What?! I get you're like this but this a little to much!",you growled out frustrated

"I get you want to help every injured person that presents itself to you but we can't take that risk!",he yelled making you flinch,"We did that once and where did it lead us?!"

"I get it But I couldn't just leave him there!",you argued back

"(Y/n) open your eyes we're in a war we don't have time for any romance. You don't have any time for that",he pointed at you

"There is no romance, I want to know what's throwing you off so bad!"

"Do I have to spell it out to you?! S-H-I-G-A-R-A-K-I, ring a bell?"

You anger faltered. Awhile back you'd taken in someone just like Keigo but this guy unlike Keigo who wants to make up for what he did for the better. Wanted to take over claiming they were unfit, he became what you'd been fighting. He'd invited You and angered him when You refused, this resulted in a major battle. Resulting in all Mights injury and making you take charge. You understood their hostility but a side of you really wanted to see a bright side to it.

"That's history-"

"History?! For fucks sake because of him we lost people, you lost people!",he yelled

"Give him a chance! Please, it won't repeat",you whispered the last part

He sighed as he paced back and forth. Bakugou had a right to express himself. You understood his doubts, but a part of you really believed Keigo could be of help. You wanted to believe, he wouldn't betray you...right?

"Fine but if that bastard messes up even once or I see him looking funny at the others I call quits",he growled out

"Alright",you replied dryly,"Now out."

He brushed past you, slamming the door behind him. You let your body slump down on the chair, massaging your scalp you ate the food which had gone cold. Outside the sky was grey, giving signs of possible raining.

"Has it always been this tiring?",you mumbled as you stood up wanting to leave the room.

The building was empty only signs of people were some training outside. You wandered down the hall your footsteps echoing with step you took.

"Captain!",you turned to be greeted by Keigo walking up,"Shouldn't you be resting?"

"I guess but I can't just sit around",you replied managing a smile

"Hey do you have time?",he asked suddenly

"Yeah?",you replied raising an questioning eyebrow

"Let me show you something",he grinned without another word he grabbed your arm and began running towards the back of the building.

As you reached outside he lifted you and off into the air you flew. You held on closing your eyes as the air was making them water up.

"Keigo!",you yelled

"Hold on!",he laughed as he sped through the sky, a grin on his face as his eyes focused on an area down below,"Here we go kid!"

"What do you think I'm doing?!",you screamed as you felt yourself descending,"Keigo?!"

"Hush",you could feel the way his chest rose when he laughed.

Softly he propped you down on your feet. Your knees would've given in had it not been for the fact he was holding you.

"Explain now",you huffed out trying to calm down your heart

"I found this while patrolling last night",he said as he walked a few feet away,"I thought you'd like to see it."

He lead you down a path through a tree covered area.  As you walked deeper in you stared in awe. A giant mansion was standing before you, it was old. Its windows were boarded up, the outside walls was chipped in areas and from here you could make out how much dust and cobwebs it's collected.

You amazed at how it looked so run down but yet captivating, you could tell it mustve been a luxuries home before.

"This is a good while from town",you voiced out

"Well I thought I saw something while up high so I decided to investigate. This could work as headquarters without endangering the Yaoyorozu family",he explained as he stepped forward his wings pushing aside the brush creating a clear path for you

You ducted underneath his wing and approached the broken down building. Using a broken down branch you broken into the building.

"Hey careful with the glass",he was quick as his feathers swept the glass shards away

It amused you a serial killer worried over some broken glass. He brushed at his clothes the dust that had gotten onto him.

"So?",he asked as he stood behind you

"Go get the others",you grinned

He nodded and off he went, sending a gush of air off. As you turned back and rolled up your sleeves.
