A/N: So, I do have another oneshot in the works, kiddos, so requests will come a bit later, if any come through. Do not hesitate! I also apologize heavily for my absence, but I was writing throughout, because I was doing Kiribaku week 2020! It is in another book, so if you'd like to see what we have there, then please check it out! Okay, excuses and self promo are over. I hope you enjoy! Also, minor spoilers for season 2, episodes ten and eleven (I believe).

Bakugou's POV

The fucking nerd and the Icy Hot bastard were already fighting. 

And boy, was I ready to see that nerd perish.

"Oh no, crap!"

Averting my eyes from the possible bloodbath for only a second, I saw Kirishima run into the stands. 

"I'm missing it!"

"Nice job making it to the second round, Kirishima!" Dunce Face said beside me.

"Thanks, man!" Kirishima laughed beside me. "Looks like I take down Bakugou next!"

"I'll kill you," I snarled without hesitation, not bothering to peel my eyes from the battle.

"Ha! Yeah, sure. In your dreams!" Kirishima chuckled. "No, but seriously! It's crazy how you and Todoroki both have moves that blast the whole stadium! Must be pretty nice,"

"Plus, you guys don't have to pause between attacks," Soy Sauce sighed from the other seat over. 

That was definitely pointed at me.

"It's not as easy as you think," I sighed. "You morons,"

"Hm?"

"If you overuse your muscles, you risk tearing them apart. If you sprint too much, you run out of breath," I muttered before looking down at my wrists.

They were going to go through a hell of a lot of abuse later during the finals.

Not like I'm gonna let anybody fucking surpass me and not let me get to the damn top.

We all have a limit to how much power we can produce. That's why I designed my costume the way I did. So then I could fire off bigger blasts than my body usually allows me to.

"Quirks are physical abilities too, they can get worn out," I continued out loud. "You can't just use them non-stop,"

"It makes sense when you put it that way," Kirishima murmured from beside me, still standing next to me instead of taking a god damn seat. "Wonder if that's how Midoriya thinks he's gonna beat Todoroki,"

A huge gust of wind distracted all of us, as I glared at the battlefield.

Chunks of ice flew everywhere, Present Mic screaming as the Icy Hot almost flew from the field a second time.

Kirishima finally fucking sat down, and I looked down, thinking.

This shithead won't fucking use his fire. Especially not this fucking green punk.

Icy Hot finally decided to rush the idiot, but he looked... sluggish.

His movements are slower... is it because he has so much frost on his body? Maybe his Quirk is like a magic meter in a video game... if that's true, he could be running on empty. Did he waste all his energy on fighting Tape Arms?

I felt myself frown, irritated at the thought.

That son of a bitch.

"Yo, you okay, bro?" Dunce Face asked me.

"Fuck off," I growled.

I couldn't make out whatever the fresh fuck the nerd was yelling, but he said something right for once in his god damn life.

Icy Hot burst into fucking flames, which made me fucking pissed.

If this bitch doesn't use his flames on me, he is going into my fucking death note, I swear to fucking All Might.

"Uhm, Bakugou? You okay?"

"Why are you asking me shit?" I muttered.

Kirishima was about to respond when I turned off my hearing aids.

The noise that Todoroki's fire met with whatever the fuck the nerd does with his Quirk would be a bitch on my ears.

So I stared at the humongous blast as it spread through the battlefield.

The flames ended up dying somewhat quickly, the nerd out of bounds.

"Damn, I wish those two would've fucking passed out together," I muttered, standing up and turning my hearing aids on.

The crowd was fucking screaming, as I could hear four people from our class get up.

Pink Cheeks, Grape Fuck, Frog Girl and Engine Legs had all gotten up and rushed out of the stands.

What confused me was why Engine Legs wasn't already prepping for his next match with Weed Girl from the B-listers.

"That was fucking crazy!" Kirishima stood up.

I put a hand on his shoulder and felt him stiffen under me.

"Sit down,"

"Says you, bro!"

"Fuck off, you redheaded shit bag,"

"Wowza," Kirishima laughed. "That's a new one,"

"Sit,"

Kirishima sat down carefully.

"Good boy," I said, petting his head lightly before sitting down myself.

"Uhm... what was that?" Soy Sauce asked.

"None of your god damn business, tape bitch," I hissed, my fingers tingling.

Kirishima's hair had a bit of softness to it, but it definitely felt hard.

He used some sort of gel or product on it to get it to that shape.

Speaking of its shape, his hair looked a little lopsided, the left side flopping a little bit.

It was messy...

Cute, even.

Uhm, nope? No? How about no? How about not today? How about that doesn't fucking happen?

What the flip flop fuck?

Okay, I guess I'm beating his ass extra hard in the next battle.

◇◇◇

"WHAT'S THIS?! A COUNTER STRIKE!"

I felt a sharp sting in my cheek as the smoke from my blast faded away.

"NICE TRY, BUT THAT WON'T WORK ON ME, EXPLOSION BOY!"

They aren't doing anything... I gotta find a fucking opening.

But that means going on the defensive.

Kirishima kept throwing jabs and hooks at me, and I kept moving out of the way, not in the mood to get a scar from his hardening.

Maybe if I go for his side???

I could barely think with all of the fucking noise, so in my dodging, I turned off my hearing aids, hearing nothing but ringing.

(A/N: I myself am not deaf, so I have no idea what deaf people do / do not hear without hearing aids. If someone knows, please fill me in!)

A good sized blast to his sides got him to grimace and make a small choking noise.

"You've been straining to keep your whole body rock hard this entire time, haven't you? So the more you strain yourself, the quicker you'll break!"

I felt myself grin and kept throwing blast after blast at him.

"DIE!"

One last blast made him start to fall, but I caught him by his collar.

His body went limp and I set him down carefully.

"Eijirou Kirishima has been knocked out! Katsuki Bakugou will advance to the semi-finals!"

As the robots carrying the gurney came to get him, I started to walk off.

I'll visit you in the infirmary.

A/N: I'M SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG! I WANTED TO GET THIS OUT TONIGHT THOUGH, SO HERE! ANYWAY, LOVE Y'ALL! SEEYA SOON! STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY! - SEPTIC / SPARK
