Chapter 35 - Chapter Thirty Four

"Here you two are-!" Mina waved, wrapping her arm around yours. "-what are you guys doing?" Mina wondered glancing from Bakugo then to you. Your muscles were tense as Mina clung to your arm. You were still trying to adjust to human contact that wasn't trying to kill you.

"Nothing." You flashed an effortless smile, hiding the fact you were uncomfortable.

"Well come on-!" Mina pulled on you, "-you promised-"

"Hey-!" Bakugo exclaimed, easily catching your free wrist before Mina could drag you out of reach. "-we have unfinished business-!"

"Huh?" Mina frowned, not understanding Bakugo's up tight face.

"Sports festival." You filled her in.

"Oh!" It clicked inside her head, "Your still on that?"

"What the hell does that mean!?" Bakugo scowled.

"Learn to let things go-!" Mina spelled out pulling harder on your arm, trying to unlatch Bakugo's grip. "-starting with (y/n)!"

"Shut the hell up starburst!" Bakugo snapped, "She isn't going anywhere until one of us drops!"

"Hey man-" Kirishima walked over seeing the tension, he placed a soft hand on Bakugo's shoulder, "-I know (y/n) just got a clean bill of health, but maybe don't rip her arm off?"

"Hah?" Bakugo sneered, looking forward, seeing how unknowingly tight his grip was latched onto you. Quickly he dropped your arm which fell to your side. "You could have said something!" He snapped at you, causing your shoulder to shrug. His clamping grip wasn't the worst pain you have felt, so it honestly didn't bother you.

Midoriya and Shoto walked over, both curious on what was going on and what activity you all would be going.

"Where to next!?" Kaminari asked, balancing on the heels of his feet with his arms behind his head.

"Well speaking of the Sports Festival-" Mina chirped in, "-(y/n) couldn't play any of the games, so she promised we would be doing that today. After we finish the games, then you can have your turn and get your ass kicked by her-"

"I WILL BE THE ONE TO WIN!" Bakugo instantly belted.

"Mhm-" Mina grinned rolling her eyes, "-we shall see. (y/n) come on!" Mina said pulling you away with Kaminari and Kirishima on your free side hyping up the fun activities.

"Nerd-" Bakugo caught Midoriya before he could walk away.

"H-Huh!?" Midoriya instantly began to sweat as he slowly turned around. "Ye-Yeah Kacchan?"

"What the hell happened during the internships?" Bakugo stepped closer, looming over Midoriya with seething red eyes.

"Wh-What do you mean!?"

"Don't play stupid-" Bakugo snapped, "-those other idiots may have fallen for your lame ass excuses, but I won't!"

"Wh-What are you talking-"

"How are you three injured?"

"We-Well I got mine-"

"Do you think I'm stupid-!?" Bakugo pushed Midoriya, the green haired mop's back rested against a cold wall out of ear shot from the other students. "-you three show up to class, all recovering at the same time from similar injuries. Do you think I would buy that is just one huge coincidence!?"

"I-I-" Midoriya sighed, "-I can't talk about it."

"Why!?"

"Because we can't!"

"We?"

Midoriya turned his head, avoiding Bakugo's blaring red orbs.

"You mean (l/n) and Icy hot."

"Yeah..."

Bakugo glanced over his shoulder, in the direction you were dragged off to.

"Who told you you couldn't talk about it?"

"I...I can't tell you that either."

"What!?" Bakugo's head snapped around. "Why not!?"

"Because I-I can't!"

"Why not!?" Bakugo pressured.

"I promised (y/n)!" Midoriya slipped up, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

"What?" Bakugo was taken back, after a few seconds Bakugo turned to Midoriya, "What the hell did you drag her into?"

"I-I didn't-" Midoriya stuttered, but soon realized he did in fact drag you into the fight with Stain...he sent you that text message with his location attached.

"You almost got her killed-!" Bakugo stepped forward, gripping Midoriya's shirt. Bakugo's mind flashed to the red line running across your neck. "-didn't you!?"

"N-No-!"

"She had to come save your useless ass!"

"No-!"

"Are you the one who did that to her neck!?"

"I would never-!" Midoriya is cut off by Bakugo roughly slamming him against the wall.

"Who did it then!?"

"I-I can't tell you!" Midoriya coughed, struggling to pull air into his lungs.

"Why do I have a feeling it was you then?" Bakugo snarled, anger lacing his veins.

"I-It was St-Stain!" Midoriya cracked under pressure.

"Stain?" Bakugo released Midoriya who slid down the wall onto his ass. "The Hero Killer?"

"Yeah..." Midoriya refused to look up, feeling like a failure.

"I thought Endeavor was the one who fought that psycho." Bakugo replied, "Why wouldn't you be allowed to talk about him?"

"Because-" Midoriya sighed, feeling himself crumble under Bakugo's gaze. "-because Ida, Todoroki, (y/n) and I fought him." Bakugo's jaw clinched, yet another thing he was left out of...

"He-He almost killed her Kacchan..." Tears dripped from Midoriya's eyes. "...you can't tell anyone!" Midoriya looked up, his eyes wide and full of a type of fear Bakugo wasn't used to seeing.

"Wh-"

"If this gets out that we were there, and it wasn't Endeavor then (y/n) goes back to jail!"

"Why would she-"

"They knew each other." Midoriya explained, his shoulder slumped. You had asked him not to tell anyone this, and here he was breaking his promise to you.

"Stain and (y/n) know each other?"

"Yeah...from what I understood, Shadow Jack had Stain train (y/n) when she was just a kid."

"What!?"

"She asked me not to tell anyone about this!" Midoriya slowly rose to his feet, "Please, this can't get-"

"Shut up." Bakugo rolled his scarlet eyes. "Your secret is safe with me, I won't tell anyone just like I haven't told anyone about you, and All Might."

"Thank you Kacchan..."

"Why would Stain go after (y/n)?" Bakugo stopped himself from turning and walking away. "If he trained her-"

"He..." Midoriya breathed, "...he didn't like the points (y/n) brought up to him."

"What points?"

"Stain is all about getting rid of the frauds who are poisoning this world but (y/n) called him out on the fact that he himself was a hypocrite."

"How?"

"Stain knew what Shadow Jack was doing with (y/n) ...I guess Stain watched as Shadow Jack killed one of (y/n)'s friends in some attempt to force her to kill innocent people."

"That's..." Bakugo trailed off absorbing this information. "...fucking sick."

"Yeah." Midoriya nodded, "Anyway...we better go find the others, before they wonder where we are."

"Tch." Bakugo rolled his eyes but spun on his heel and began walking away.

"H-Hey!" Midoriya jogged, "Wait for me!"
