A/N: Howdy! This one is also late, but I was just procrastinating, tbh. Anyway, I just have a quick thing to say. I will mention the Big Four. All I want you to do is just roll with it. I have my reasons.

Kirishima's POV

"And this is the Big Four,"

Walking into Class 1-D, Shouto, Izuku and I did our best to not look intimidating.

Then there was Katsuki.

Katsuki motherfucking Bakugou.

The manliest man to ever man.

Who's also a bit of a prick, if we're being honest.

Yet he's, apparently, my type.

The aggressive blond somehow wormed his way into my heart in our first year, yet here we are.

It's been three years, and I've still said absolutely nothing.

Why?

Because I have the vocal comprehension of a fucking toddler and cannot speak as eloquently as I can gay panic.

Therefore, I will stick with what I do best and panic.

That's why we listen to Panic! At The Disco all the time. Fantastic panicking music, if you ask me.

"These four third years stand at the top of all U.A. students," the teacher beamed. "Please briefly introduce yourselves!"

"Hello! I'm Izuku Midoriya! You guys can just call me Deku, since it's easier to remember," Midoriya grinned. "Beside me is Shouto Todoroki!"

"Hello," Todoroki said in his usual monotone.

"The redhead is Eijirou Kirishima,"

Okay, don't be awkward.

"Howdy," I winked and gave a finger gun.

I SAID DON'T BE AWKWARD!

"And next to me is--" "I can introduce myself," Bakugou snarled next to me, his voice extremely scratchy and hoarse.

In our second year, he was attacked by a villain who slit his throat, which actually ended up paralyzing a vocal cord.

Now, his voice is deeper and scratchier, and he can also speak while breathing in, which I think is totally cool.

But we also try to keep him from speaking to often. We had to learn sign language to properly speak with him for the first few months, and when he speaks for too long, his throat hurts.

"I'm Katsuki Bakugou. Don't forget it," he growled.

"So, we were told that we needed to talk to you guys about your work studies!" I said, clapping my hands together.

"Quite honestly, only Midoriya and Kirishima were able to do them in our first year, and it was chaotic," Todoroki said. "Bakugou and I were doing make up classes for the provisional hero licenses, since we'd failed at first,"

I glanced over and saw Midoriya almost bouncing off the walls, containing his excitement.

He was looking at all the kids, looking at all their Quirks.

He didn't have his notebook on him, so he started writing stuff down in the air, murmuring.

"So, unlike your internships, you're genuinely going on patrols constantly. You're applying to an agency, and getting into one," I began. "I was able to be accepted into Fatgum's hero agency, after asking one of the Big Three members when we were in our first year. Midoriya did the same, yet he was accepted into the late Sir Nighteye's agency,"

Hearing about Sir Nighteye, Midoriya popped up a little.

"Right! We were both a part of a huge rescue operation that year as well. It caused some physical amd mental trauma. So be warned, this is no joke," Midoriya said.

"Eventually, we all worked under my father, Endeavor, with the exception of Kirishima. He still worked under Fatgum. But it took Bakugou and I longer. So, those of you without your licenses need them to genuinely attempt a work study," Todoroki said.

Glancing over at Katsuki, I could see that he had been signing the whole thing to the class, making me smile.

"So, what we've decided to, and we have your teacher's permission for this, is to have you guys fight us in Gym Gamma! Test some things out! See how you do!" Midoriya grinned.

"Don't go too hard on them, nerd," Katsuki growled to the green haired boy.

"Says you," Todoroki mumbled.

"We'll meet you there!"

•••

We got changed into our gym uniforms, stretching while we waited for the class.

"Yo, Bakugou," I whispered.

"Hm?"

"I saw what you were doing while we were presenting to the kids earlier," I murmured.

"Tch, whatever," he rolled his eyes.

Once the whole class was out, we stood apart.

"Alright, listen up, cause I ain't sayin' this more than once!" Katsuki yelled, which certainly wasn't good for his throat. "We need groups of five, and we'll swap the groups between people! One group will be against Deku, and then cycle over to... I dunno, Kirishima? So, group up, and do it quick,"

We watched as the class split up slowly.

Once they were made, we looked them over.

The first group had a girl with a shark tail, a girl with a lizard tail, a very pale girl, a girl with black hair tucked into a ponytail, and a girl who had curly brown hair.

The second had some girl with curly blond hair and a pair of glasses, a short girl with cat ears, a girl with curly black hair, a girl with straight black hair and glasses, and a girl with a earrings going up most of her left ear.

The third group had a boy made of smoke, a ginger with heavy eye bags, a long haired blond boy, a guy with a bandana and fangs, and a girl with a yellow scrunchy in.

The fourth contained a boy with a knife in his hand, another boy with weird gloves on, a boy with smoky hair, a girl with these trippy fucking glasses on, and a girl with a blue scrunchy around her wrist.

Lotta girls in this class, wowza.

"Midoriya, want the first pick?" I offered.

"Oh, no, go ahead!" Midoriya grinned.

"I'll take the group with the blonde girl with glasses," Todoroki deadpanned.

"Todo, think you can make some walls of ice once we have the second group?" Midoriya asked.

"Sure,"

"I'll take the group with the guy with a knife," Katsuki said, giving his feral smirk.

"Midoriya? Last chance, bro,"

"Go ahead!"

Fuck, I can't make decisions.

"I'll take... the group with the lizard girl,"

"Great! I'll take the other group! Let's go!"

The gym was sectioned by Todoroki's ice, and he quickly regulated his body heat.

"Okay, can I get some hero names or code names for you guys?" I asked. "Wanna ask a few questions before we start,"

"My code name is Burbujas," the girl with curly brown hair said.

"Skele," the pale girl mumbled.

"Talpa," the lizard girl said with a small smile.

"Lunar," the girl with the black ponytail said.

"I go by Megalodon,"

"Awesome! Those sound really cool!" I grinned, bumping my fists together. "Well, okay, I said a few questions, but that was really it. I do have a bit more to say, though! If you ever feel like you're going to pass out, or you're pushing yourselves too much or anything, stop whatever you're doing and sit down. Not as a punishment, but as a safety precaution. Don't need anyone going to Chiyo-san, yeah?"

After getting a confirmation, I grinned.

"Alright. So," I began, hardening my limbs. "Don't hold back. I can take it,"

•••

"Wow... holy shit," I panted in the locker room.

"Right?" Midoriya said beside me. "They were all such amazing first years, I can't believe it. They've progressed so much and so well,"

"Okay, this is totally unprofessional and I probably shouldn't have been paying too much attention to it, but did you see the shark and lizard girl kiss before your matches too?" I asked.

"You guys saw it too?" Todoroki asked.

"Not very good at hiding it," Katsuki mumbled.

"Kacchan, come on! The two are proud of themselves and who they are. Plus, it's not like you're much better," Midoriya mumbled.

"Wait, you're in a relationship?" I asked.

"No, Deku's just being a bitch," Bakugou rolled his eyes.

"Todoroki-kun, let's head out and give some pointers. We'll meet you two out there," Midoriya said before leaving.

"What did he mean?"

"God, how oblivious can you be?!" Bakugou facepalmed. "I'm saying this once,"

Placing a hand beside my head on the wall, he glared at me.

"I like you, dipshit,"

"WHAT?!"

"Shut it. I thought it was obvious," Bakugou. "So? You gonna fucking say anything? Either reject me or tell me you like me, and we can talk more later,"

I was genuinely fucking stunned, just about ready to scream.

"I... you... really... I... like... uhm--"

"Great, let's talk more later. You oblivious motherfucker,"

A/N: Late again. My apologies. I mean, it's still the correct day for me, it just is a little fucking close. So, yeah! Anyway, that's all! Seeya tomorrow! Stay safe and healthy! - Septic / Spark
