'Man, I hope everything will go well for Izuku. He did mess up his arm pretty bad, especially with that last hit...' you thought to yourself as you walked around, waiting for the break to end so you could watch the next fight.

"Whatcha doing Bakugou? Your fight is gonna start soon, shouldn't you be warming up??" You heard Kirishima ask from a distance.

"None of your business! What the hell do you want anyways?" Katsuki hissed.

You were gonna just mind your own business and keep walking until you heard Kirishima mention your name.

"You looking for (y/n) or what? If so she went to see Midoriya."

This got you curious so you started eavesdropping which is something you didn't normally do.

"Why the fuck would I be looking for her?" Katsuki growled.

"Mmmmm, I don't know, maybe so you can... confess~" Kirishima teased.

"CONFESS?!! WHAT THE HELL DO I HAVE TO CONFESS! WHAT'S UP WITH YOU SHITTY HAIR?!" He continued yelling.

"Dude, chill. I was just messing around with you. Although, now that I think about it a lil more, don't you think you overreacted to that a bit too much?" Kiri replied.

"What the hell you getting at?" Bakugou hissed.

"Your reaction. It seemed like too much. Bakugou, do you... do you actually like (y/n)??"

'Kirishima what are you doing?!' You thought.

It was silent for one solid minute until Katsuki finally spoke.... well, growled.

"The fucks it matter to you?"

Next that was heard was an inhuman screech which you assumed came from Kirishima.

"Holy shit bro, you're actually interested in her?!" Kirishima yelled out with amazement.

"WHAT! I DIDNT SAY THAT!!" Hedgehog boi yelled.

"But you didn't deny it~" Kirishima purred.

Your eyes widened in complete and utter shock. Did you really just hear that? Was this real? Were you in a weird dream again?? These questions went all throughout your mind. Then, a sudden announcement broke the silence and snapped you out of your thoughts.

"Just a reminder to the finalists that your match is in 5 minutes and that you should return to the stadium before then. Same goes for those who want to watch. No ones gonna wait for every single person to return." The dead sounding voice announced.

'Aizawa?'

"Well, that's your cue! You should probably get ready man, oh and by the way, I won't tell anyone your secret~" Kirishima teased one last time before running away. (At least that's what it sounded like from your perspective.)

"SECRET?!! THERES NO- FUCK!!!!" Katsuki yelled.

There was a sudden moment where your mind went totally blank for what seemed like a long time, you listened to see if Katsuki was still there but nothing was heard. You figured he already had left.

'I should get going too... might miss the fight.'

You came out of you "hiding spot" and started walking. But before you could take two steps forward, you crossed paths with Katsuki who was standing in the middle of the hallway, looking down at the floor with his hands in his pockets. This surprised you. You tried to run back to your hiding place before he could even noticed but the very moment you turned your back, Katsuki gasped.

"The hell you doing here?" He growled.

"What, I'm not allowed to walk around during my free time?" You sassed.

Katsuki clicked his tongue in annoyance as his eyebrows knitted together before he muttered;
"Whatever."

"So I guess you're going to go prepare for your match then?" You asked.

"That should be obvious." He retorted, still walking away.

"I see.. well, I guess I should get going too." You replied.

"Where you going, the stadium is this way." Katsuki asked in a strangely soft voice.

"Uhhh, to go get some snacks before the fight. I know damn well I'm gonna get hungry while watching." You explained.

"You're watching?" He asked again.

"Duh, I wouldn't wanna miss seeing Todoroki kick your ass." You teased.

Katsuki immediately stopped in his tracks and turned to you in anger.

"The fuck you just say?"

"Damn Bakahoe, have you been cleaning your ears lately?? You seem to have some hearing problems." You continued.

"BAKAHOE- FUCK YOU BITCH!! FIRST OF ALL THE ONLY ONE WHO IS GETTING THEIR ASS KICKED IS THAT HALF AND HALF BASTARD!!!" He yelled.

"Mhmmmm, we'll see about that Ba-ka-HOE!"

Katsuki was now stomping towards you, clearly raged. Most people probably would have ran for the hills if a ticking time bomb was going near them, but you, you just stood there fearlessly and let the hedgehog roughly grab the collar of your shirt and yell in your face. Katsuki's yelling in the face never fazed you. Until he starting spraying it rather than saying it.

"Say that shit to me again and maybe that half and half bastard won't be the only one who will be getting their ass pounded." He threatened.

Katsuki hadn't realized what he said until he had already finished speaking. You both gave each other an awkward look.

"Fuck. No, that's not what I meant-"
"Nopenopenopenopenope not today Satan!"
You shouted while running away. Katsuki could be heard yelling in the distance. Along with some explosions.

"GODDAMMIT THATS NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!"

An hour later...

"Uh, (y/n)? Are you okay? You look like you just seen a ghost or something." Asked a concerned Jirou.

"Oh yeah. I'm fiiiine." You cringed.

"Really? Then what's with the face?" She retorted.

"Nothing..." you said as you tried to make your face 'normal'.

'Fuck, ever since Katsuki said that I've felt so uncomfortable. I know he didn't mean it that way and was trying to sound all tough but shit, couldn't he have thought of something else? Wait, why am I thinking about this so much? After all it was an honest mistake wasn't it?'

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! It is now the moment you have all been waiting for. It's, the final BAAAAAAAAAATTLE!!!!" Mic's announcement caught your attention.

(I totally forgot about a bunch of fights but I'm high key too lazy to add them and just wanna get this arc over with🤧💀)

"Go Bakugou!!!" Kirishima cheered as Katsuki walked into the open. (Supportive bf)

"Awww, Todoroki got a new shirt..." Mina whined.

You looked in her direction and basically gave her an unintentional death glare. Hagakure noticed but stayed silent since she felt like has tormented you enough earlier. Also because that glare that she witnessed gave her chills.

'Oof.. best not mess with (y/n)... especially if I don't exactly know what she's capable of.' She thought to herself.

"NOW, START!!!!!"

As soon as Mic yelled the go-to, Todoroki sent a massive wave of ice in Katsuki's direction, which had more control in it than what he sent at Sero. Katsuki was nowhere to be seen until sudden booms were heard. After two more, there he was standing in a cave he made inside the ice. The moment Katsuki jumped out, Todoroki sent another strong wave of ice towards him, but Katsuki quickly dodged it and grabbed Todoroki's shoulder and hair in midair before violently throwing him towards the edge of the stage. Todoroki avoided falling out of the ring by making another wall of ice and practically surfing on it.

"Damn, I knew Bakugou was strong but seeing him fight today is somehow different from the first time..." Kaminari noted.

'That's because he's not just firing recklessly like last time...'

Katsuki swung his arm at Shouto but failed to land a hit. Instead, Todoroki grabbed his arm with his left side and had the chance to use his fire. But to your surprise he didn't. Instead he pushed Katsuki away with his ice which Katsuki blocked so it wouldn't do much damage. As he looked up, he looked extremely pissed.

"Todoroki seems to be lacking in this fight. It's strange since I thought he'd go all out like he did with Midoriya." Tokoyami commented.

"Right? Meanwhile we have Bakugou who seems to be thinking strategically." Kirishima added.

"He's trying to get Todoroki to use his fire on him but Todoroki seems to refuse to use it... This isn't good..." You added.

The two boys looked at you not knowing what the last part meant.

"YOU'LL REGRET MAKING A FOOL OF ME!" Katsuki yelled as he set off explosions.

"I'LL FREAKING KILL YOU!!! THERE'S NO POINT IN WINNING AGAINST SOME HALF-ASSED PUNK! NO POINT IF I CAN'T DO BETTER THAN DEKU!! SO IF YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO WIN GET THE HELL OUTTA MY FACE!!!" He roared.

'I knew it...'

"WHY'RE YOU EVEN HERE YOU BASTARD!!!" Kacchan continued yelling while taking action with his next attack.

Todoroki looked like he was ready to give in and let Bakugou beat him until Izuku yelled out of nowhere and caught his attention.

"DON'T LOSE!!!! COME ON!!!"

Finally Todoroki's left side had ignited. The next thing was a blur as the smoke from Katsuki's explosion blinded the stadium. When it cleared, Todoroki was seen lying unconscious in a huge pile of ice. Witnessing the scene, Katsuki got up from where he laid and went towards the unconscious Todo.

"Hey... st- STOP MESSING AROUND!!" He yelled as he aggressively lifted the boy from the collar of his shirt.

"NOT LIKE THIS!!! Not li...."

Katsuki fell to the ground as Midnight released her sleep-inducing aroma. She then declared him as the winner since Todoroki was out of bounds.  Everyone in the stadium cheered when Katsuki was announced the winner. Everyone but you. You knew very well that his pride was hurt. Izuku probably knew this too. Knowing this made you feel bad for Katsuki. Sure, he's a raging assface but he's still a teenage boy who has feelings which he decides not to show.

"He's not gonna be happy when he wakes up..." you sighed.

A few moments later.

"Now, let's move onto the awards ceremony!" Midnight announced.

Class 1-A and many others were shocked at what they were seeing.

"He's been going wild since the second he woke up.." Kirishima mentioned.

There, standing on a pedestal with the number one on it was Katsuki... who was chained to a huge piece of wood with his hands locked in restraints.

"I knew he'd be mad but not so much that he'd have to be restrained!" You yelped as your jaw dropped.

Midnight explained that Iida was also supposed to be standing on the third place pedestal with Tokoyami but had to leave due to a family emergency.

"Now for the medals!! Presenting them this year is, well, you know who!!"

After that being said, All Might made a dramatic entrance by dropping in from the sky while shouting his famous 'I am here!!' Adding 'with the medals' to it. Although, he accidentally cut off Midnight by doing so.

"Congratulations Tokoyami, kid you're a strong one!" He praised placing a bronze medal over his head.

"Todoroki, congratulations. You held back, you didn't use your left side in the final. Is there a reason for that?" He asked

"It was my match against Midoriya. I think I've lost my way..." he explained. All Might gave him some advice before hugging him and going to Katsuki.

"And finally, Bakugou!! Well, um... this is..."

All Might seemed to be at a loss for words seeing how Katsuki currently was. He then released the muzzle-like thing so he can speak to Katsuki.

"You've lived up to your promise. Wonderful!" He praised.

When the muzzle was off, Katsuki's face was unlike anything anyone has seen before. You were amazed at how it could do that. Was he even human anymore??!

(Just to refresh your memory..)

"All Might, THIS WIN.. DOESN'T MEAN SQUAT!! DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS. IF I DON'T RECOGNIZE IT, THEN THAT MEDAL'S JUST GARBAGE!!" He growled. Literally.

All Might gave him a little speech about accepting the medal as a 'wound'. He struggled to get the medal over his head but eventually just got it to sit in his mouth. Close enough I guess.

He said another inspiring message before messing it up in the end by saying 'THANKS FOR THE HARD WORK' rather than 'Plus Ultra!'

Time skip...

"In the light of the festival, you'll have tomorrow and the next day off. Scouting reports and such from pros will be waiting here for you after the break, so look forward to that as you enjoy your time off." Aizawa explained.

'He's still holding the medal with his mouth...'

To be continued in the next chapter!!!
