The previous night he had just cleaned out his ears and moved on. He didn't want anyone to worry or be concerned for him. He just decided he would wear his hearing aids a little less often to let his ears breath or some sh*t.

He was already dressed for the day, they had a few hours until the school festival started, it seemed like everyone was running around to prepare, judging by the fact that Pikachu nearly killed him when he stepped out of his room.

He gently knocked on Kirishima's door, smirking a bit when the boy opened the door with his hair halfway up while the other half still hung in front of his eyes.

"You look horrible." Bakugou commented as he stepped into the room. Kirishima's lips moved but he grunted, tapping his ear to draw the redhead's attention that he didn't have his hearing aids in.

'H.u.r.t?'

Kirishima made the movements with his hands to sign out the word, he shook his head.

"No. It doesn't hurt. They're just uncomfortable." He lied. Kirishima nodded and looked back into his phone he was using as a mirror to do his hair. "Never did get your roots fixed?" He questioned. The other boy shook his head with a slight frown. "We'll get the dye after the festival then." He told him as he patted the other's shoulder and moved to the door to go get breakfast. Though his phone vibrated.

'Can't, I'm going to hang out with Tetsutetsu after the festival. Maybe tomorrow?~Kiri'

'thats fine - ill go get it on my own and you can dye your hair when you get back~Baku'

'Oh ok! Thanks bro <3~Kiri'

Bakugou glanced over his shoulder at Sharky with a raised brow. "A heart? You really that cheesy Half n Half Sh*tty Hair?" He questioned. Kirishima grinned and simply made a heart with his hands instead. "Dumba*s. Good luck with the effects today. Better be just as f*cking epic as my drumming." He smirked before he stepped out of the room and made his way downstairs.

He looked over to where Bird had started talking to him. "Hearing aids aren't in, Bird. Can't hear anything right now. I'm assuming you guys want to practice again before we go?" He questioned. The bird nodded and signed something- or his shadow signed something he should put it.

"I also still don't know that sh*t." Bakugou informed him before he made his way to the kitchen and grabbed a few pieces of toast, shoving them in his mouth and glancing at where Deku was leaving.

Cutting it rather close to the show wasn't he..?

Bakugou growled under his breath and moved back to the Bird to follow him to the band area so they could go over it one more time.

"I'm not wearing my hearing aids so follow me f*cking lead and don't try to pull any sh*t. Text me." Bakugou grumbled to them all as he sat down at the drumset.

'GC- Are you alright? Your hearing aids are ok and stuff?~Jirou'

'GC- Yeah, what she said, it's alright if you need a break dude. You had your part pretty solid.~Kam'

'GC- I agree with the others, if you need a break, it shouldn't be a problem. ~Momo'

He examined the messages within the class group chat and grunted.d "I'm fine f*ckos. There's nothing wrong with my ears or my hearing aids." He told them.

The main reason he wasn't wearing them was to just give his ears a break from them before the festival. He knew the festival was going to be loud and didn't want to deal with that after having a full day of hearing loud sounds.

He'd put in his hearing aids right before the show started. But they didn't have any business knowing that. He took the drumsticks in his hands and hit them together to show that he was starting, smirking as they scrambled to get their instruments and get in place, starting the very second the sticks hit the drums.

~

He carefully put his hearing aids in his ears as they finished setting up the stage. "You good to go now?" Pikachu asked. He nodded and adjusted them slightly, so that everything was a little more quiet.

"Should be. How much longer until we get to kill everyone?" He questioned. Pikachu only rolled his eyes.

"About fifteen minutes. Midoriya still isn't here yet though." Tape commented.

"You think I f*cking care if Deku is here or not? Just because I talk to you f*ckos more doesn't mean I think of any of the rest of the stupid f*cking class any differently. Just you four. That's it. Maybe Round Face, Headphones, possibly the Bird. but f*ck everyone else." He grumbled, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"C'mon Bakubro, you gotta warm up to them eventually." Kirishima frowned. Bakugou eyed him and shook his head.

"I don't. I don't see why I need anything more than what I already have. I'm fine with this. That's it. Nothing more. I don't know if you expect me to be friends with f*cking Deku or not; but it isn't going to happen sh*tty hair." Bakugou told him sternly before moving back to his drums and sitting down.

"I don't know if I'm happy or upset with that statement.." Pinky mumbled before she went off with the others to go get in their places.

"Ten minutes!" Someone called out.

~

Alright. He would admit. That feeling wasn't that bad.

Watching as everyone shouted and had a good time.

He figured it was a success; they'd killed them with their sound. That was the goal.

Though in the middle of it he had to turn his hearing aids down because it had gotten really staticy and had begun echoing really badly as well.

"Bakugou! You were great on the drums bro!" Kirishima grinned as he stepped over and tossed another chunk of ice into the bin that Bakugou was melting all the ice in.

"F*ck yeah I was. You were the one that did the ice shredding stuff right? That was pretty d*mn cool too sh*tty hair." He spoke as he stuck his hands back in the bin and melted another round of the ice.

"Heh... yeah. It was really fun actually- is that....?" He trailed off as his eyes caught on something. "Eri!" He smiled brightly. Bakugou followed his gaze to the young girl, Deku and Weird Eyes standing with her.

He grumbled as Kirishima dragged him over to meet her. He didn't particularly like being around kids. He couldn't use language or be harsh with them.

"You're the one they went and saved." The blonde commented as he crouched down to be eye level with her. She nodded nervously. Nearly hiding behind Weird Eyes' leg.

"Hey it's alright. This is Kachaan. One of the people in my class! He's a really strong hero too!" F*cking Deku spoke as he leaned forwards. Far too close for Bakugou's liking. Kirishima out a hand on his shoulder to keep him from blowing the brains out of the g*dd*mn nerd.

"Kacchan?" The small girl repeated.

"Yeah! That's just what I call him though. Everyone else usually called him by his real name-"

"Bakugou." The blonde cut the broccoli off, extending his hand to the girl. She looked up to Deku and weird eyes for permission before she put her hand in his.

She didn't know what a handshake was.

She just took his hand.

He stared at her. G*d her hand was small.

She smiled at him. "Your hands are rough! Like Deku's!" She exclaimed as she looked up to Deku again. Bakugou grunted.

"Of course they are. I do the same work as the dumba-" Kirishima's hand was over his mouth before he could even attempt to finish that thought.

"And that's all for us, we're going to go do some stuff at the festival. It was nice to see you again." Kirishima told Eri, giving a nod to Weird Eyes.

"Bye Bakugou! Bye Kirishima!" She gave a small wave as they stood and walked off. Bakugou offered a small wave without turning around, grunting as Kirishima tossed his arm over his shoulders, pulling him off to the obstacle course.

"I thought you were going to go hang out with your other half?" Bakugou questioned as they arrived at the start.

"Nah, we're supposed to meet up after we've both finished all the activities of the festival we wanna do. So for now I wanna spend time with you." Kirishima showed off his sharp teeth and motioned to the obstacle course. Bakugou smirked and moved to go get in line. "One more thing! No quirks. You can fly sorta so that's cheating." He continued as he nudged the blonde.

"Cheating!? It's not my fault your weak a*s quirk can't help you go fast!" Bakugou shouted at him, popping explosions in his hands as usual. He quickly calmed down. "Your quirk isn't weak." He grumbled quietly as he shoved his hands back into his pockets.

"Still cheating if you never touch any of the obstacles." The redhead commented, brushing off the weak quirk comment.

The blonde grunted and moved forwards in the line. "I can beat you without my quirk anyways." He huffed. Kirishima chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck.

It didn't take them too terribly long to reach the front of the line.

"Oi Kirishima." Bakugou smirked as they started counting down from ten and they got in positions.

"Hmm?" The redhead questioned, growing focused.

Bakugou leaned over and kissed his cheek. "You're cute." He said, fully intending to mess him up. Though, this technically wasn't cheating, it was just making this harder for the other boy.

Which it did, he flared up red like usual right as there was a loud bang, signalling it was time for them to go.

He easily took the lead, clearing the first jump with ease.

He stayed true to his word, he didn't use his quirk for any of it. He hopped over the highest jump and looked at the rest of it, planning out how he was going to go now that he had a good view of everything.

That's when Kirishima slipped past him. "The f*ck?" Bakugou muttered. The boy never even stood up, he literally just slid over the platform and dropped down to the next. He huffed and hopped down to follow him.

Now being the lead, Kirishima seemed to have a whole burst of energy and held his lead.

Bakugou finished only a second after he did. He growled. "Harden dumba*s." He shouted as he threw an explosion at him.From the smoke of the explosion Kirishima emerged and nearly knocked him over with a hug, still partially hardened. "G*d Kiri little warning." He grumbled.

"I beat you! I rarely ever beat you at things like that so that was so cool." Kirishima grinned as he pulled away from the hug and looked at the course happily.

"Yeah yeah, don't get used to it sh*tty hair." He shoved his hands into his pockets and followed the redhead off of the attraction.

"I will! It's great. I beat you in our last training match, and now I beat you here. I wanna do the haunted mansion. But I think it still has a little bit before it opens so we can see if any of these little stand thingies has something cool to do." Kirishima said as he walked in front of the blonde, looking at what each of the stands offered.

"They all look stupid. It's just fair games like ring toss n sh*t. Wait no-" Bakugou cut off suddenly as his eyes caught on something. "Sh*tty hair I wanna do that." He said as he took the other boy's arm and pulled him to one of the games. "Can I use my quirk for this?" He questioned, the person running the stand raised a brow.

"What's your quirk?" He asked.

"Explosions. I can do specific aiming though." the boy tried.

"Use the gun, please. I don't wanna have to replace them." The stand worker motioned to the targets.

Bakugou frowned but obliged, picking up the fake gun and glancing at Kirishima's horrified face. "It's you sh*tty hair!" He grinned. That didn't seem to make the redhead feel any better.

The game was one of those things where you had to shoot a moving target. But it was themed with sharks, you had to shoot the shark before it could get to the human.

It was funny as f*ck.

Bakugou shot the sharks pretty easily. The game wasn't too challenging, but he did lose his temper a little bit when he shot one of the sharks and it didn't go down. Kirishima held him back from jumping over the counter that separates him from the worker of the stand.

"What the f*ck is this?" Bakugou questioned as the worker handed him a ticket.

"You can use it to get a gift down at the gift shop at the end of the row all the way down there. They have stuffed animals, random little things. I think if you get enough tickets you can get a support item? That may have been a rumor but it'd be cool if they did." The person running the stand told them.

Kirishima nodded. "That's cool. Thanks bro!" He said as he walked away with Bakugou again. "What's this?" He questioned as he approached a stand. It didn't have a sign or any apparent theme. Just a chair and a small screen.

"This one of those stupid fortune telling things?" Bakugou grunted as he examined the area. The woman running it shook her head.

"One of you can have a seat and I'll show you. The other can watch on the screen." The woman told them. Bakugou narrowed his eyes at her. She didn't seem trustworthy. But Kirishima was already looking at the screen so he went ahead and sat down. "Lean back in the chair and look at the ceiling."

"Lay a hand on me and nobody will find the body." Bakugou hissed as she tried to push his head back to look up. She pulled away quickly and turned to Kirishima, speaking quietly with him for a moment before she returned to him.

"Alright, there's going to be a bright light and you're going to have to take your glasses off." She told him. He tried to sit up to get away but he couldn't move. She'd touched him. Her quirk was something weird. He couldn't move at all. She took the glasses from his face and set them on the counter the screen was on.

At this point both of the boys were concerned. "Sorry. Didn't mean to frighten you. My quirk is 'stone', I just turn your insides to stone temporarily. It's usually to make sure people stay calm or stay still. I can try to take the effect off if you want to get up." She offered.

"Just f*cking get what you're going to do over with." He huffed, still seemingly able to move his head.

"Ok. Well just relax then." She told him, having him tilt his head back once more, she shined a bright light over his eyes, it seemed to be a camera that was above him, displaying him on the screen Kirishima was looking at.

"It's just zoomed into his eye, is that how it's supposed to be?" Kirishima questioned curiously. The woman nodded.

"Yep. You're Bakugou right? Well Bakugou, think about... explosions, or your quirk should I say." She said as she leaned in and looked at his eyes.

"Oh! It's the eyes thing! I get it now." Kirishima grinned and looked at the screen again.

"What eyes thing?" Bakugou questioned.

"Nothing, don't worry about it, just do what she says." Kirishima waved him off. The blonde grunted and looked back at the light camera thing.

"Now think about Deku. I have no idea who that is but- wow I didn't know pupils could get that small..." She whispered as she looked closely. Kirishima started wheezing where he stood. "You really hate him don't you?" She questioned, even she was a little amused.

"F*ck off..." Bakugou huffed. She smiled and nodded.

"Alright well now think about hiking." She said.

"Wow- his eyes actually dilated a bit. That's cool." Kirishima commented. Oh that was what this was. Bakugou frowned. It was a way of showing what he liked and didn't like. That was f*cking stupid. They could just ask.

"Now, think of Kirishima." She offered suddenly. Kirishima's laughter stopped suddenly as he looked at the screen.

"You f*cking b*tch." Bakugou growled as he sat up and stood. His joints still felt tight but he could move at least now.

"He's a little temperamental, you're a really nice lady, ignore his harsh words n stuff. Thank you!" Kirishima called from behind him before he caught up and threw his arm over Bakugou's shoulder.

"I hate you." Bakugou slouched, his hands returning to his pockets as they walked, seemingly towards the haunted house.

"C'mon, it's not a big deal. I already knew you liked me. And plus it was nice, you looked like a cat with your eyes dilated that big." Kirishima chuckled a bit.

"Never call me a cat." Bakugou shoved him with his shoulder. Not sending him too far off or knocking him over. Just getting him off of him.

"Oh. Tetsutetsu just messaged me. You can do the haunted house by yourself if you still wanna go. But I gotta go." Kirishima said as his phone vibrated.

"F*ck the haunted house. I'll just go get your hair dye." Bakugou shrugged. He didn't have any interest in the haunted house in the first place, he was only going because Kirishima was dragging him there.

"Oh ok! Text me when you get there and when you get back. Every time me and you have left the grounds we've had problems so forgive me if I'm-"

"-paranoid? I know Sh*tty Hair. I got it. I'll text you." Bakugou interrupted him. Kirishima smiled and nodded, sending a text and then shoving his phone back into his pocket.

"I'll see you at the dorms then?" Kirishima offered, extending his hand for a fist bump. He nodded and pressed his fist to the redhead's, then took it and pulled him in, pecking his lips and making the other boy red. He smirked and stepped back towards the exit of the school to go to the store.
