18: 𝐵𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑒𝑠
Kira walked across the cafeteria. A tray with two slices of Pizza and a fruit cup in one hand, and a bottled soda in her other.
She didn't acknowledge Bakugou's shocked look as she dropped her tray onto the table and sat down. "Hey Bakugou." She said, just like the first time she sat down.
His mouth opened and closed as he stared at her. Not bothering to hide his dumbstruck look. "She's... She's just... She's here? But... Didn't he..."
She took her soda off her tray. "Don't hit this one." She told him before taking a bite from her pizza.
"What are you doing?" He whispered. She looked up at him with an eyebrow raised
"Eating. Are you gonna ask me that Everytime I sit by you?" She asked him with a smile. "What? You didn't think you could get rid of me that easily did you?"
He looked away with a scowl. But he was really just trying to hide his emotions. He felt shock, confusion and most of all...
Overwhelming happiness.
Kira had never felt an emotion so strong. It felt like a firework show, the birth of a child and winning the lottery all rolled into one emotion. Bakugou's mind felt like explosions, but in a good way.
"I'm not gonna ever be able to get rid of you... Am I?" He asked. He sounded almost... Hopeful.
"Nope, you're stuck with me for life buddy. You better get used to it."

Kira stood by Bakugou's side on their way back to class after lunch. He didn't tell her to fuck off, not even once. That was progress.
Kira said something and Bakugou scoffed at the joke before pushing open the door. The class was already in there, they were talking lowly to themselves but then completely stopped. Turning to look at them, specifically Kira.
Bakugou raised an eyebrow with a scoff. "The fuck are you losers looking at?" He snapped. They didn't say anything. Kira already knew what they were thinking and What had happened.
"You're quirkless?!" Jirou suddenly asked with wide eyes. Bakugou glanced over at her with a frown but didn't say anything to her. "That kinda makes her even more fucking awesome though."
"It's weird... That's what Iida said, and Yayorozu confirmed. But I could have sworn when we first met..."
"No wonder she didn't fight Midoriya head on. It would have been suicidal."
"A quirkless kid at UA? Impossible. It shouldn't be allowed."
Kira glanced over at Momo, then at a slightly guilty looking Iida. "Apparently." She said with a casual shrug. "Is that a problem?"
"Yes! You shouldn't be here! It's too dangerous!" Momo said suddenly. "She should NOT be here at UA. Let alone in the hero course. Quirkless people are simple and fragile. She could die, she got lucky in her last fight."
Kira and Bakugou made their ways to their desks and Kira dropped her bag to the ground.
"Let me rephrase that." Kira said, putting her boots on her desk. "Is that a problem that will effect you? I believe I'm capable of making my own choices. Even if it is dangerous, and don't forget Nezu was the one who asked me to be here."
"Quirkless?" Bakugou wondered, glancing at Kira. "That's bullshit."
°.•.°•.°•.°
"I have a question!" Iida said, putting a hand on his desk and standing up in the middle of the class.
Most students rolled their eyes but both Bakugou and Kira immediately turned to each other. Bakugou grinned and they both flipped to the last page of their notebooks together. Pencils ready.
Her and Bakugou were still friends, though he was thoroughly convinced she wasn't in fact quirkless. He was right of course, but he still didn't know what her quirk WAS.
Iida chopped his hand and Kira put a mark down immediately. Bakugou cursed under his breath.
"Yes what is it Iida?" Aizawa asked.
"It's about the law in section 401: B."
Iida said. "According to the rules stated previously-"
Bakugou marked his left corner at the word "rules"
"My father told me-"
Bakugou marked again.
"And my brother also mentioned-"
Kira smirked and drew a line over one of the corner squares. They were playing bingo, or at least a type that Kira had invented all the way back at the beginning of her middle school year.
You see Iida ALWAYS interrupts class. To go one and ON about something or another. Kira would get so bored listening to him that she invented a game.
An Iida bingo card. Each square had a different thing he did often. Mentioned his family, pushed up his glasses, chopped his arms. Every time he did the she'd mark the card, if she got five in a row...
"BINGO!"
Bakugou liked the game too. He got very excited when he was winning. Too excited.
Kira covered her mouth, trying not to laugh hysterically.
"Bakugou? Did you have something to add to the discussion?" Aizawa asked, raising an eyebrow at him and Kira. Who was bent over her desk laughing at him.
"N-no sir." Bakugou, coughed. "Just um, something in my damn throat." He lied, clearing his throat. 'Bingo' he mouthed at Kira. Who covered her head with her hands, shaking uncontrollably.
"Mr A-Aizawa!" Midoriya raised his hand.
"B-Bakugou has something in his notebook!"
"Snitch." Bakugou mumbled. Kira's mood sobered up mildly and she sat back, still covering her mouth with her hand.
"What the hell are you two up too?"
Aizawa thought, staring blankly at the two. She shrugged lightly and turned to Bakugou, raising her eyebrows at him.
"Of course he has something on his notebook, we're supposed to be taking notes aren't we?" Kira looked back at Midoriya, raising an eyebrow.
"Well yes but-"
"C-can I finish my point?" Iida asked, pushing up his glasses.
Kira and Bakugou moved in unison to mark the corner square.
"Let me see the notebook." Aizawa sighed, standing up.
"That'll teach those two freaks." Midoriya thought, Kira sensed a very smug energy from him.
"I wonder what's in it. They've been doing that for the past two days."
"Are they making fun of Iida somehow?"
Bakugou's eyes widened but Kira held out her book instead of his. "Sure, it was all my idea anyways." She shrugged. "Call it a character study."
Aizawa took the book and looked it over. Looking from the bingo card filled with Iida catchphrases to the cartoon illustration of the boy in the corner. It was quite good actually, but he ignored Kira's talent for the moment. "Are you proud of yourself?" He asked her.
"I wouldn't say proud. I've done better work." She shrugged, looking at her black painted nails. "But it is clever, you can at least give me that much credit."
"It's insensitive and borderline bullying. How long have you two been doing this?" He asked, ripping out the page. He put his hand out for Bakugou's as well.
"Oh well this is only Bakugou's second time. He did it because I'm a horrible influence on him. But I've been doing it since... The beginning of my first year of middle school." Kira said after thinking for a moment.
"Though it's much more interesting playing with an opponent. An opponent that I now owe lunch."
Jirou glanced at the ripped paper in Aizawa's hand and covered her mouth. Snickering.
"What is it?" Kaminari asked, leaning closer to her.
"I-it's an Iida bingo card." She whispered with a snort. She said it a little too loudly.
"Iida will hate her after this. This will surely humiliate him. That's good, one less friend for her and Kacchan...."
"P-pardon?!" Iida asked, face red. "A bingo card?"
"A character study bingo card... Since middle school..." He thought for a moment. "She's been paying enough attention to me since middle school she was able to fill not one but two bingo cards with my mannerisms?! Did she fancy me or something?!"
"I'll take it as flattery! Thank you!"
He beamed at her brightly.
"You're welcome!" She smiled back.
'How the fuck is he not offended?' She wondered briefly.
Aizawa sighed and rubbed his eyes. "If I catch you two doing something like this in the middle of class again. I'll sperate you two." He said.
Kira leaned back in her seat.
"Won't happen again sir!" She said with a salute. She nudged Bakugou with her elbow.
"Yeah whatever she said." Bakugou mumbled. "You still owe me." He whispered to her, she shrugged.
"Whatever, you big ouf." She whispered. "Be more careful next time."
"Next time?!"

"Hey pop rocks! You're a pretty buff guy."
Kora said, poking Bakugou in the bicep.
"She thinks I'm buff?"
He swatted her hand away. "Who the fuck said you can touch me?! And don't call me pop rocks!" He yelled. "What the hell do you want anyways?!"
"I need help, I'll be crushed in the hero course. I need to get stronger, you know. Work out a shit. But I don't know where to start, I figured you could help." She said with a smile and her hands clasped together.
"You don't need training, what you need is a damn, fucking miracle." He said, giving her a scrutinizing look. "She's a fucking toothpick. But so was Deku a few months ago. She could probably toughen up, at least enough to keep up with the rest of the class."
"Then work your magic. Come on! We're friends aren't we?! Do me a favor!" Kira said, tapping his cheek over and over again.
"Friends!? She called me her friend- shut the fuck up Katsuki. She's been saying that since the first day. Don't be annoying and don't fucking blow it." Bakugou rolled his eyes and pushed her hand away. "Fine, I'll show you a around the school gym and help you figure out where to start. But Im only doing it once. You'll have to figure the rest of it out by yourself, got it?"
"Yes! Alright! You can show me after classes tomorrow in the campus gym." She said with a half smile. "Thanks bestie."
"Shut the fuck up!" He scoffed, shoving her shoulder playfully. "Was that too hard? What if she gets mad at me? I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I'm messing things up."
Kira laughed and shoved him back. "Whatever pop rocks." She said. The bell rang, calling them back to class from the cafeteria. As they started to get up thoughts from the room attracted her attention.
"Why do I keep on wishing... That I was with them?"
She made eye contact with Kirishima and for once he didn't immediately look away. Kira gave him a casual wave and he nervously returned it with a sheepish smile.
She knew the poor guy was torn between sticking with his current group and hanging out with them. He was stuck thinking he'd lose the others forever if he hung out with Bakugou, who they all didn't really like.
'I'll get him eventually.'
Kira thought, turning to follow Bakugou.
'They both have friend crushes on each other. It's adorable.'
