Work Text:
The day was supposed to play out normal. If normal meant dealing with villains shooting spikes from their eyelashes while your teammates tosses an SUV toward them. Annoyed can’t begin to describe how Bakugo’s feeling. Irked? Furious? Maybe it doesn’t matter. He will put an end by doing what he always does: win.
“Die!” shouts Bakugo as he fires off another round of explosions in the direction of some annoying flying bastard who needs to stop flying and come down to fight him. The flying bastard was a villain wearing a type of armored suit in the likeness of a bird. The very same one was going after Kirishima while he had his own hands full.
Bakugo’s attempts to keep this bastard away from Kirishima kind of work while he fights off this huge behemoth who is charging at Kirishima. Kirishima’s fighting off two opponents currently. A scream reminds Bakugo of his focus the civilians. Damnit! This day is just pissing Bakugo off and soon may be too much to handle. Bakugo rushes over to knock out 2 hired extras because a flying bastard and this giant bastard weren’t enough to deal with along with the strugglers.
Bakugo makes short work of the extras because, duh, he is Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight after all. He shouts towards the civilians, “Get your asses out of here!” With the civilians out of the way, now he can focus on helping Kirishima. Once he turns around his blood boils as theses fuckers are tag teaming Kirishima who is getting hurt. Fucking villains.
He shouts while going full speed ahead, not caring for any element of surprise. He doesn’t need any cheap tricks. Due to Bakugo’s shouting, he misses the transmission in his ear. They might have been critical to hear, but it’s Bakugo. His explosions get him up and personal with this bird bastard. Is the armor the quirk?
His cluster ability should be able to close the gap quickly enough. Somehow Bakugo is able to surprise this bastard. The speed of Bakugo thrashes the villain. Even though Bakugo’s shouting should have been a clear indication of his approach, the villain misjudges Bakugo which won’t be the only time, unfortunately for him.
Bakugo slams into this bird-brained looking motherfucker. Seriously his nose looks like a beak. This will teach him for being a tag teaming asshole.
They slam into some billboard a short distance away from Kirishima and his tank of a foe. Once they hit, Bakugo attempts a point-blank stun grenade. A type of helmet protects the villain’s eyes and ears for a moment reacting to Bakugo’s attack. When did the bastard get this helmet on? “You’re not the only one with quick reflexes.” The villain answers then pulls out an oddly shaped gun and aims it towards Bakugo. Bakugo takes a moment to look nearby and takes his chance. He needs to disarm this fucker of this unknown gun could cause more harm. Bakugo wrestles with him to get it to drop and it fires blindly hitting randomly in the area and painfully 2 rounds were able to graze Bakugo. Worth it, he thinks as he was able to get this freak to drop it. Once it falls out of reach, Bakugo throws it further to his other quick plan and allows one of his grenades to destroy it. He needs it to be closer to his other target. It creates an unexpected explosion as that was not a regular gun at all.
Now that moment Bakugo used earlier helped Kirishima out. Bakugo quickly notices that Kirishima was pushing his opponent closer to his radius. Duh, of course. Bakugo used this bird freak’s gun to explode what he could at Kirishima’s enemy. The impact of the detonation lands on the enemy Kirishima was fighting. Some sort of mechanical armor as well? It’s got a damn horn too.
His horned enemy curses out in some foreign language.
I hope those burns scar over, you asshole. The explosion caused by Bakugo gives a sizable amount of damage on the horned asshole. That stops him in his tracks, giving Kirishima a chance to kick some ass after these bastards double teamed him.
A wild grin is normally seen on GEMGD, now it’s takes residence on Red Riot. So manly! An opportunity to end things presents itself. Kirishima goes unbreakable to rip off whatever armor this guy was wearing.
The loser that Bakugo is engaged with is trying to make a break for it. Apparently, he wants to give his damn teammate help.
Not this shit again!
Bakugo fires off in the pathway of bird brain to halt his advances. Shooting off a barrage of attacks since this idiot tried to run. The villain was barely able to doge the onslaught which led him getting hit a still. Asshole fires off his damn feathers. Ok now his feathers are weapons.
Fucking Hawks wannabe.
This doesn’t even phase Bakugo as he uses the momentum to leap over his foe, then uses his AP shot on the damn helmet. The one that gave him issues earlier with the whole think again thing. Bakugo fires to the left to get close and direct hit! Stupid things crumples away which will make the next part easier. Now the asshole aims to use his wings to get away not without firing again. Granting him a temporary boost in speed. Whatever, he won’t get away. Bakugo fires off some small clusters to gain on him.
Stay down, asshole! They hurtle to the ground with the winged bastard taking the brunt of the damage. His armor or whatever seemed to break the impact. Bakugo obviously doesn’t hit the ground. He landed not too far from his teammate who looks pretty roughed up.
Ah, the famous Unbreakable move Kirishima worked so hard on. So determined, fierce, and he thinks, I could just—fuck I need to focus.
Bakugo turns around to finish handling his foe. Kirishima was putting in some hits in. As Kirishima delivers the last blow—
“Think again, hard-head!” A goofy voice calls out accompanying with a bright light.
An unfamiliar scream is heard from Kirishima’s direction. What the—
There must be some quirk bullshit because there now stands a fucking clown and some red-haired girl. Where’s Kirishima?
The final hit that Kirishima was trying to land with Unbreakable just looked like some grazing to this behemoth of a man. It looked like it brushed him.
“Huh? What just—?” Kirishima mutters loudly then looks down at their hands and… boobs? Silence settles between both parties as now there was a half-naked woman fighting against a rhino looking dude with a literal clown off to the side. The world nowadays is never predictable and has its own humor. The silence carries on for what feels like hours when the fucking clown begins, “Get her!”
It happens in a flash, Kirishima shouting while their foe attempts to knock him—her? —down, but has their eyes closed?
Fuck. Bakugo leaps into action completely forgetting his opponent on the ground. He charges forward to the shouting. Charging is not enough to emphasis the amount of hauling ass which is what Bakugo is doing. The amount of speed, focus, and aggression is enough to launch this rhino-looking son of a—Kirishima?! To clarify, Bakugo knocked that fucker some distance away.
Bakugo slightly turns his head to girl Riot? He shouts, “Cover yourself!” An “Eek” is heard while Kirishima covers her chest. Seeing this different version of Kirishima made Bakugo feel some things we won’t get into right now.
On this day was the first time Kirishima’s skin matched their hair color. Kirishima wraps her arm around herself even though Bakugo steps in front of her, guarding his teammate. his eyes met this seemingly random clown the pieces clicked. Wait. You’re fucking -kidding me—how in the actual fuck did this asshole get out?
It might have been a couple of years, but he remembers this jerk who reversed half of 1-A genders and quirks. The encounter was quick since they had the teachers able to assist. Even so the whole experience was resolved right away didn’t have a chance to really try anything out. I need to get away quick, but I can’t leave Kirishima. Arrggh! “Quick, get on my back!” he yells
All it took was a damn flash for Bakugo to now match Kirishima only this time she wearing a damn shirt. He is dead.
The clown villain begins yapping, “Finally remember me! It’s been a long, long—"
Bakugo interrupts, “Cut the crap! You’re gonna change us back unless you wanna say goodbye to your legs.”
“That’s not really—” Kirishima starts.
“If you can stop him!” the villain replies
Remember that stupid rhino guy she pushed back early? Now the fucker charges right back at them. If that Icyhot bastard can use his powers so damn easily then so can I. Wherever I make explosions or make ice; if I am a man or woman, I know we ain’t dying to some random ass villains. Bakugo created an ice wall to slow him down. She creates an ice path or whatever Icyhot makes to travel on. “Come on,” is all Bakugo has to say to get Kirishima to grab onto Bakugo’s back. She grips her tightly and gets her body as close as she can. Bakugo feels her heat along with this new additions. If only Kirishima could see the heat on Bakugo’s face. Shit, focus. I already saw them why am I acting like fucking teenager..ok. Its not like this is the first time Kirishima has gotten this close. Damnit! Today is proving to be more of a challenge then she bargained for. Bakugo creates a little distance between the two foes.
“Take them down!” shouts the fuckass clown, to which Bakugo thinks, I swear I will end that fucker’s life. The behemoth breaks down the wall to continue his charge. The ice does provide an effective shield and works as a getaway.
When an eruption of fire shoots out cutting him off once the ice stopped. A familiarly annoying voice starts, “Didn’t you hear our responses?”
“Always in some kind of mess, huh?”
Are you joking? Both of these assholes are here? This day can fuck off and die.
Tapeface and Icyhot come from above trying to show off. Tapeface goes off to the side to handle the forgotten bird freak who Bakugo almost forgot existed. Just before he can start tying him up the freak gets ups. He moves quickly somehow as if he recovered his strength.
“I think it’s time to retreat!” He hauls ass to his teammates.
“I don’t think so!” Sero counters with some tape, but a flash of light hits him. “What the—”
The bird freak almost reaches his cronies when Bakugo creates some crudely made icy blocks. She is still not used to this new power, so he was able to dodge. “Let’s get out of here!” shouts the bird brain
“Fine,” the rhino-like villain agrees then quickly turns away from Scarface to run towards the clown fucker. “Let me get one more!” he shouts mid-air as the rhino freak throws the clown to the flying freak.
“Freeze!” Really he said that lame ass line… The ice that Todoroki shot out became fire. “Huh?”
In the midst of the escape, the clown was able to use his quirk on Todoroki.
“Enjoy the gifts! This time you can enjoy them longer!” screams out the clown as he is carried by the bird guy fleeing the scene.
“Fuckers!” Bakugo shouts in a fit of rage charges to the retreating villains. He forgot about Kirishima clinging to his back, shooting out as much of his newly found ice powers as possible. Anything he can do to halt their escape.
I guess Icyhot was trying to help me too. Whatever. Their joint attack to slow down the only villain who was running away on the ground. His feet almost got stuck from the ice.
“It’s too much!” Kirishima entreats
What?
Fuck. Everyone has lapses in judgement. Even the seemingly perfect Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight. Her new ice powers were chilling herself out. It felt like her teammate was stuck or it the fact that Kirishima’s damn face mask was now stuck to Bakugo’s icicles. She really went all out on the attack. She didn’t pay attention to the output of power. Shit I need to warm him—her up! Bakugo breaks away from it all. A new focus overtakes her thoughts.
During Bakugo’s realization that flying fuck was able to use a wing attack against the ice. This was able to release his running companion now. Todoroki kept trying her best to slow them down. However, she noticed Bakugo was creating distance away from the fight that caught her attention. It’s not often you see GEMGD holding Red Riot, or well, more of the reversal since her hands are around Dynamight’s back. The villain spread away in their retreat going further away. Without backup, these switched abilities are proving to be a headache. Before Todoroki goes towards the frozen “couple,” she remembers her teammate. “Where did Sero go?”
The jointicles move off to the side away from the action and judging eyes. “Hey Shitty—Kirishima.” Her voice goes from an almost shout to a tense tone. Her hands move over to the joint hands that were holding her so tightly. Wait, they’re not frozen? Her hands went from a soft gentle touch to a rougher, but inquisitive touch. The squeezing almost feels possessive. The touch from the hand climbs as far up as Bakugo can with Kirishima hugging from behind Bakugo. Her arms blindly touch Kirishima’s bare side to trail up. Hitched breath hits Bakugo’s ears as if startled by the gentleness.
She should be frozen at her side or so she thought. A shudder almost interrupts Bakugo’s touches until “Hey man—erm, girl. It’s my faceguard.”
Ah, right. Metal. Of course. “Let me,” Bakugo continues her touches now a new goal is in mind. She traces the faceguard slowly to find any ice on it. She creates some friction to naturally warm the mask and to break down any ice along the way. After a minute or so Kirishima’s own hands trace alongside Bakugo’s, attempting to create some additional warmth and their hands touch. They linger against one another stopping their movement. A different kind of warmth starts to build up, you can guess from who.
The silence is killed by a irritating shrill voice screaming, “You of all people think that now is the time for jokes? I expected this from Kaminari not you!”
Unfortunately, footsteps get closer to the “touchy moment” that was ongoing. Annoying complaints get louder as what look like Soy Sauce face and Icyhot were getting closer. Ah yes, they got hit too. Great… Wait sec, scissors for hands?!
A cackle erupts out of Bakugo, “HA HA Ha! Fucking scissors?”
A snicker turned into a cough from Kirishima as she looks from behind Bakugo.
“Yeah yeah, laugh it up, jerks.” Sero points with her Edward Scissorhands looking self. “If anyone of you get stuck or need anything—"
“Cut,” Todoroki interrupts
“Don’t ask me!” Sero continues
“As if!”
“Guys! Erm, girls, focus!” yells Kirishima as she comes out from behind Bakugou holding her newly found assets. Stay behind me no one should be able to see you like this, only me. Bakugo hands comes up to stop Kirishima’s movement. Kirishima made the mistake of looking directly into her eyes. They seemed familiar, almost like she had seen that look somewhere..was it during the training at the Ice Kitchen?
A zipping noise halts those thoughts as Todoroki is removing her jacket. “Here” she says.
The fuck? Just like that? She hands the nicely warm jacket to Kirishima who graciously accepts, “Thanks dude!” The intense look the occupies Bakugo’s face is deadly and is plotting silently. “Now I can really warm up!” Kirishima piles on, unknowingly adding more fuel for Bakugo. Already planning the funeral in my head. Closed casket, no cremation. Even better.
Todoroki begins, “So let’s recap”
“No,” Bakugo says.
“Maybe we should go over with everyone else?” Sero questions.
“To be asked a million questions? Pass,” Bakugo continues her dismissal.
They drop it because if they weren’t tired now then the interrogation and paperwork would get them there. A few minutes later the clean up crew arrives along with other heroes coming by asking hundreds of questions. This is gonna be a long ass day. Won’t bore the details of how annoying quirk related accident reports can be.
The idiot brigade was waiting to ambush them, but after almost four years you tend to know everyone’s pattern. The same questions and concerns Bakugo knew they would ask ring in the air.
“What are the odds that the very same villain we fought in our first year would show up again?” asks Midoriya out loud.
“With our luck, surprised it wasn’t sooner,” Uraraka says with a little chuckle.
“True,” Hagakure agrees. Koda furiously nods his head in agreement.
“Our class has the worst luck,” Sato states.
“Or the best?!” Aoyama chimes in cheerfully to shift the mood. Most of class 1-A just stare at him, then all simultaneously say, “What?”
“Anyways, how are you guys holding up?” Jirou questions. The attention goes to Bakugo and Kirishima who are sitting next to each other. Closer than usual maybe? They are usually close, but Bakugo seems to be the one driving it this time. Her hands went from behind her head to the couch. One hand seems close to Kirishima’s head, slowly moving as the conversation goes on. Is she trying to…?
Before they even get the chance to answer the damn question. Sero cuts in, “Horrible. I have scissors for damn hands! What am I going to do! I can’t do anything!”
“False. You can—"
Daggers or scissors proverbially shoot across the room, staring right at Tokoyami. He finishes, “Never mind.”
“Relax, Sero Scissorhands, we’ll figure it out.”
A glare is aimed at Kaminari for his comment before Sero says, “Easy for you to say. Todoroki got it made.”
“I mean, I have to remember to get hot is cold and cold is hot that I could want hot, but now it’s opposite and I need hot—"
“Dude.” Interrupts Sero who is getting drained from this conversation. Sato agreeing with Sero’s low energy “Okay.”
“Well, everyone has it different, especially with how reversed their quirks are,” Shoji utters while stroking his hands against his chin thoughtfully.
“It’s just getting used to thing reversed. It’s fine, or whatever.” Bakugo says.
“You have liquid nitrogen shooting out of your hands now!” Midoriya announces a little too energetically.
“At least we won’t be exploded anymore!” Kaminari declares happily grabbing Mina’s hands who disagrees loudly, “No, now we will get frozen!”
A realization hits the group and the tone shifts.
Asui says with her voice trailing, “Oh wait, Kirishima, your quirk.”
“Sorry, man,” Ojiro shares out loud with his arms crossed.
“That sucks,” Hagakure comments while giving a light squeeze to Kirishima’s hand.
Bakugo feels herself getting heated or chilled? Why are they acting like she can’t do anything? The fuck?
“I mean, it just might mean some of us can’t finish studies or patrols for a bit. We wouldn’t want to put others at risk! It’s fine!” Kirishima answers. Kirishima smiles too wide to reassure others, but not herself. Bastard. The hand behind Kirishima’s moves to lightly graze Kirishima’s neck almost to get attention toward Bakugo. The touch is comforting as to quell Kirishima’s façade. Her smile actually beams this time knowing that a certain someone was trying to be touching. Good. Can’t fucking stand it when she talks down on herself.
Yaoyorozu questions out loud, “Isn’t the quirk reversal not the only issue?”
Jirou quickly says, “Right. You can’t bathe with us.”
“What?” the new girls exclaimed with the exception of Bakugo since she doesn’t give damn.
“Well, they can’t bathe with the guys either, it’s not right!” Tenya says passionately using his hands in a chopping motion.
“Yeah, you gals will have to go later or before everyone,” Ojiro continues the passion without the motion.
Mina states and points to the new girl group, “Besides, you will have to help Sero.”
“Huh?!”
“No chance,” Bakugo states plainly.
“Wait.” All the color drains from Sero’s face. She is gonna need help with everything… everything. “Kill me now,” she pleads.
Kirishima beams, “It’s fine, bro we got you!”
Todoroki puts a hand on Sero’s shoulder for some reason. She rubs circles on the spot as to calm her down. We won’t go into that.
“At least until you can get something from the support course.” Shinso mutters as he deems he heard enough of this conversation.
Uraraka beams, "See, temporary!”
“Enough.” Bakugo starts and gets up to leave. Need some damn sleep after this bullshit. As she gets up her hand slightly brushes Kirishima’s head as if it was accidental but felt like it was something else. This makes Kirishima get up as well.
“It’s not that late!” Kaminari groans dramatically.
“Their bodies are not used to this dramatic change,” Midoriya states matter of factly.
“Hey Kirishima! if you have any questions, we got you girl!” Mina gestures to herself and Jirou. That comment makes Bakugo… annoyed? Or maybe she really is just tired from everything? Whatever... why am I? Never mind.
She continues her exit. Kirishima quickly catches up to her to walk in pace. The large group in the common starts to break up, a few questions and observations ring in the room. That is a conversation for another time.
Stillness follows the pair as they head to their respective rooms. They don’t say a single word the whole time until they reach their destination.
Kirishima asks quietly, “Do you really think…?”
“Stop thinking. And if you don’t, then I’m gonna go harder when we spar.”
“Bak—” Kirishima turns to a close up towering Bakugo whose low growl commanded Kirishima to actually stop thinking maybe stop breathing. They lock eyes like Bakugo is trying to remove any doubt that Kirishima has. You don’t even know what this did to your quirk. I will be the first one to know. Those losers won’t get the chance.
The gap closes between the two. Her hand ghosts ever so slowly from Kirishima’s elbow to wrist. The touch feels familiar, like when Bakugo was inspecting earlier for any frozen skin. A little shiver runs through Kirishima. Bakugo notices this and goes, “Talk more tomorrow.” She hurriedly opens her own door and leaves a flushed looking Kirishima in the hallway. What was that?!
Bakugo’s thoughts start firing off the moment she steps in. Why was everyone fawning over Kirishima? She can take care of herself, and if she can’t, then she has me, duh. Stupid morons. Don’t they know if Kirishima really needed something then she would come to me? They don’t understand how her new quirk works either! I’ll find out more when we pair up, then I will know how it works against my new quirk.
