Chapter 36 - Chapter Thirty Five

"Phwwwwwhht"

A high-pitched whistle caught your ear, you turned to see Bakugo and Midoriya walking over to the small group consisting of a few classmates you stood in.

"Did you just whistle at me?" You asked Bakugo who ignored your comment.

"I signed us up-" Bakugo explained they had a time slot to spare in one hour time in the p.e. grounds.

"Nifty." You replied, earning an annoyed look from Bakugo who wanted more of a reaction from you.

"I'm going to beat you once and for all-!" Bakugo smirked, "-and claim the Sport's Festival winner title!"

You glanced over to him, placing colored beads of sweet candies in your mouth. You flashed a thumbs up earning another scowl from Bakugo.

"Look!" Asui called, pointing over towards a bright sign. "There's the obstacle course, let's go!"

"Yeah!" Your classmates all excitedly agreed.

"You coming Bakugo?" Kirishima asked, you glanced over waiting for him to join your migrating group.

"Hah!?" Bakugo craned his head, looking from Kirishima then to you. "That lame ass obstacle course? Hell no!"

"Aw come on-!" Kirishima pushed.

"No!" Bakugo turned, stomping away. Kirishima sighed, turning to you and the rest of Class 1-A. "Maybe next time." He awkwardly laughed, brushing off Bakugo's harsh nature.

"Come on!" Mina said grabbing your arm and pulling you with them.

Bakugo turned, his face twisted in anger as he watched Mina and Asui drag you towards the popular obstacle course. He bit down on his jaw, clenching it tight as he ignored the longing for him to be standing by your side right now, for him to be dragged along with you...

The course was a blast, you really enjoyed it when Kaminari got stuck and the workers had to come help him wiggle free. It took roughly forty minutes to complete with your classmates constantly getting distracted.

The lot of you walked out the exit side, you brushed your hair behind your ear as you laughed at Asui's comment about Kaminari. Mina and the others went to the stand to try and get copies of pictures the camera bots shot of the group.

You faced forward, his hair catching your eye. Bakugo was leaning against a support beam, sipping through a straw as he gazed blankly down at his cell phone.

"Phwwwwwhht" You whistled once you got closer. Bakugo turned with wide eyes seeing it was you.

"Did-Did you just whistle at me!?" He shot you an annoyed expression as he put his phone away.

"Hm." You hummed, amused. "I wonder where I've heard that before?" You smirked seeing his daggered face.

"What the hell do you want!?" Bakugo quickly pulled his eyes off you, annoyed by the tingling sensation in his chest.

"We doing this or what?" You asked, resting your hands inside the pockets of your gym pants.

"Huh?"

"It's ok if you want to chicken out." You mocked, watching the light in B's head flicker on. His famous malicious grin spread wide across his face.

"You in a rush to get your ass kicked?" Bakugo cocked his head to the side.

"Mm." You hummed as a response scratching your neck, Bakugo's eyes flashed to the red line running across it. "You know what they say about big egos..."

"Hah?"

"...always compensating for something." You smirked at how fast Bakugo blushed, he stomped over getting inches from your face.

"If you want I can show you I'm not compensating for anything-" Bakugo smirked at your annoyed face.

"Six feet-" You said, pressing your palms on his chest to push him back. You glanced up into his scarlet red eyes, lightly surprised by how hard his chest felt under your fingertips.

"You really wanna be six feet from me?" Bakugo grinned smugly.

"Yeah-" You nodded, "-even if they got to put me in the ground to do so."

Bakugo frowned, instantly not liking your comment.

"Hey!" Your classmates jogged over.

"What's..." Mina looked to Bakugo then to you. "...going on here?" She wiggled her eyebrows at you, causing you to roll your eyes.

"We are on our way to the p.e. grounds." You explained.

"Oh yeah-!" Kirishima laughed, "-you two have your match soon!"

"Yeah." You nodded.

"Man-!" Kaminari groaned, "-I wanna hit up some more of the food stands!"

"We are not stopping you." You boredly replied, cutting Bakugo off who was about to rip him apart. The red eyed blond gazed down watching you stroll past him. "Go enjoy the food." You flashed a smile towards Kaminari, who blushed as a response.

Bakugo rolled his scarlet eyes at Kaminari.

"Bu-But I wanted us all to stay together." Kaminari shyly muttered kicking a nearby pebble unable to look up at you.

"Come on-" You chuckled, wrapping an arm around him. "-we can get more food after I kick B's ass-"

"What did you say!?" Bakugo snapped his eyes away from your arm around Kaminari.

"I didn't stutter." You smirked as you walked past him.

"I'm gonna blast you to bits!" Bakugo pointed.

"Mm...no." You looked over your shoulder. "Mainly because you wouldn't be able to hit me, and also because we can't use quirks where we are going." You stuck your tongue out at him.

Kirishima and Sero watched back and forth between you too.

"Does she have a death wish!?" Sero whispered.

"I-I don't think so!?" Kirishima quickly replied as the two jogged to catch up with everyone else.

----

"Remember-" Kirishima sternly turned to Bakugo, "-to keep your distance-"

"Why the hell would I want to do that!?" Bakugo snipped.

"She may not look like it-" Kirishima turned to look at you who stood on the other end of the white line painted into the fresh green grass. "-but she is a trained killer, you can't forget that."

"That doesn't mean anything!" Bakugo waved off.

"She took both Midoriya and Todoroki down when they sparred, and you can't rely on your quirk-"

"I don't need it to beat her."

"Bakugo, don't get inside your head man-"

"Why are you barking into my ear for!?" Bakugo snapped glaring at the red head.

"Alright-" Kirishima raised his hands backing off. "-good luck out there!"

"Luck is for losers." Bakugo arrogantly replied as the horn rang for the two fighters to get inside the ring.

"Seriously-" Kaminari shook his head, "-why are you friends with that jerk?"

"He means well." Kirishima defended.

"Mhm." Kaminari rolled his eyes, "Come on, let's go meet up with the others."

"Alright!"

You tilted your head, taking in Bakugo's stance as you licked your lips looking around the growing crowd who was interested in seeing the two finalists of the sports festival finally face off.

"I meant what I said-!" You called once you and Bakugo were mere feet apart.

"Hah?" Bakugo tilted his head.

"I want that metal!" You smirked, Bakugo's famous grin blossomed.

"Not even in your dreams!"

"Aw-" You called; "-you dream about me?"

"Wh-What!?" Bakugo's heart skipped, "Hell no!"

"What a shame." You frowned, "I dream about you."

"Yo-You do?" Bakugo was taken back for a moment, he watched as a malicious smile infected your lips that rivaled his own signature grin.

"Yeah-" You nodded; "-I dream about kicking your ass and taking what's mine."

"What is yours?"

"The winner of the Sports Festival of course." You laughed, loving when he got riled up.

"In your dreams!" Bakugo pointed.

"Then this must be a nightmare." You smirked as the horn sang out, starting the match.
