Rage

"Today's training will be a bit different. You'll have three instructors - me, All Might and another faculty member will be keeping tabs on you." Aizawa announced as the students took the information in.

"What kind of training requires three instructors?" Y/N muttered with a confused face.

"Sir!" Sero said putting his hand up, "What kind of training is this?"

"Rescue." Aizawa explained, "You'll be dealing with natural disasters, ship wrecks and stuffs like that. The class started chattering in excitement when Aizawa silenced them and continued, "Guys I'm not finished yet. What you're wearing in this exercise is upto you. I know you're excited about costumes, but keep in mind that you haven't got used to them and they might limit your abilities. This special training is in an off-campus facility, so we'll be taking a bus to get there. That's all, start getting ready." He exited the class after the little announcement.

Y/N saw Bakugou get up and leave as she smiled looking at him, without realizing.

[ TIME SKIP ]

Everyone gathered outside the school, waiting for the bus to arrive. As always, unexpectedly, Y/N's eyes drifted towards Bakugou standing with a frown on his face, probably annoyed for keeping him waiting. For some reason, nowadays, Y/N found Bakugou's reactions quite amusing.

Y/N noticed Midoriya wearing his P.E. uniform. Ochaco asked, "Deku? Why are you wearing your P.E. clothes? Where's your costume at?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Y/N said, sitting lazily on a bench, her cheeks resting on her hands.

Midoriya glared at her and then replied politely to Ochaco, "You saw it after the combat training. It was kinda trashed. I'm still waiting on the support company to fix it up."

As they continued chatting, Y/N observed Mineta walking and lightly limping towards Ochaco, his eyes filled with lust.

"Hey!" Y/N called to him, "Why are you limping?"

"Oh, yesterday while I was trying to support myself to get through the crowd and to the exit, and the girl stomped on me." He said stuttering, slightly. Y/N narrowed her eyes recalling a similar event happening with her - except that she was the one stomping on the guy's foot.

"Oh my god, you are the one who squeezed my butt in the crowd!" Y/N said, her anger rising with every passing minute. In a dangerously low voice, she said "Trust me Mineta, if you weren't in our class and a goddamn friend, I would have bloody drowned you."

Sure, Y/N got angry now and then but facing her actual wrath was something no one dared to deal with. It wasn't much of a difference to Midoriya since he knew this rage from a very long time. Although he tried to stop her from getting angry in the beginning, he was wise enough to know when to step down. It wasn't a pleasant sight.

But Bakugou was thinking different. Something about her anger intrigued him. Maybe it was because it was rare to see Y/N actually getting angry over something. Maybe it was how the whole area suddenly became quiet and felt the cold atmosphere. Maybe it was because Bakugou saw her eyes cold for the first time ever.

There was only a possibility of him feeling all these but he knew one thing for sure. Even if it was for just a second - he knew how his heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, not in a romantic way. He felt something called 'fear'.

Suddenly a whistle broke the tension in the air and Iida said with his commanding voice, "Gather round class 1-A! Using the student numbers form two lines so that we can board on the bus efficiently!"

Ofcourse, no one sat according to their student numbers. In order to cool down, Y/N decided to sit a bit far away from all the chattering students - she stood beside Todoroki's seat. Although, he was a bit surprised to see her sit beside him after the ruckus - he didn't comment on it.

"Do you mind if I sit by the window?" Y/N asked in a polite manner.

"There are plenty of other seats." Todoroki said back. Y/N stood on the same spot with a glare on her face. Todoroki understood that this stubborn girl wasn't going to move. He sighed and moved from the window seat.

Y/N quietly sat near the window seat with Todoroki awkwardly looking at the students and the other side. Y/N finally felt the guilt surfacing in her as she realized she might've been rude to Todoroki for no reason. Surely he defeated her but that wasn't a fair reason to be rude to him. And she knew how impressive he was as he alone managed to wore her down.

"Uh.." she cleared her throat, gaining Todoroki's attention, "You were really impressive in the exam."

"I know." He said in his monotonous voice.

"Yeah, you looked really cool." Y/N said, letting out an amused chuckle, "Get it? Cool?"

"Tch." She heard Bakugou in the front seat.

"What? You got a problem?" Y/N asked him in a stern voice.

Kyoka as if sensing the approaching bickering, stood up from Bakugou's seat and said, "Hey we gotta talk. Come at the back seat." She said going at backseat.

"I don't but.." Bakugou said turning halfway and looked at Y/N, "you surely have a problem."

Even if they didn't say anything, they knew what Bakugou meant by that. It was unusual to see Y/N get angry all of a sudden. Y/N ignored him and went to the backseat.

"What was that?" Kyoka asked, "I have...never seen you that angry."

"I know Mineta doesn't mean it all the time but," Y/N's expression changed into a bitter and dark one, "I despise people like him. I have no issue with the rest of you but he..is disgusting."

"....I'll be here if you need to talk. Other than the fact that you were scary, I didn't want to get in between. I know you need your space and I respect that. If you need to vent, I'm here for you." Kyoka said feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Thank you. I never said this but I feel Midoriya and I are not that of best friends who know each other's deep secrets. Somehow we are never comfortable in sharing secrets. It's like he's always looking for someone else - Bakugou to be specific. I don't want to be that friend who is a replacement for another friendship. They share a special bond." Y/N decided to lighten the mood and said bumping Kyoka's shoulder, "But ofcourse we are better."

"Yeah. And that's exactly why I need to know why there's a sudden change in your attitude towards Bakugou." Kyoka asked.

Y/N's head shot to her right as she looked at Kyoka sitting with a smirk on her face. She started stuttering almost as if she got caught doing something scandalous. "W-what do yo-you mean?"

"Going by your expression, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. It's not like I haven't noticed you looking at Bakugou much more than you usually did. Not to forget the fact that you guys walked in class together. What's going on?" Kyoka dug deep and Y/N knew she wasn't getting out of this.

She sighed and said, "I-I don't know. It's just...something changed since the last combat training. I'll fill you in later, it will take time. It's just that...I have started noticing Bakugou's efforts and although he never shows it but...his quirk is amazing and he works hard. I appreciate it."

"Sounds like you've got a crush on him." Kyoka smirked and interrupted Y/N before she could deny it and said, "We've got time. Spill it. What happened?"

On the other hand, Bakugou was restless. He was itching to know the real cause of Y/N's anger. It already pissed him off that Midoriya probably knew about it and he didn't. Maybe she was already telling Kyoka the reason. He was the only one without any knowledge about it.

He didn't even understand why he cared so much about the reason. Maybe because he will be able to piss Y/N even more. And he didn't get either what was so cool about half-and-half, that Todoroki. Sure, it was a joke but he was angry how he was the only one who didn't receive any kind of compliment from Y/N yet. He knew he was better than all these extras in the class. But the way she didn't agree with it at all pissed him off.

Now, like a child throwing tantrum, he wanted to know about the reason more than anything.

He needed to know it. Now that Y/N and Bakugou are on talking terms, he can come to know about it somehow.

Oh he bloody knew he can.
