* BOOM/SMASH !

               ( 👊 )┊OOPS. His body wouldn’t stop trembling, not after accidentally spilling his second cup of soda on “THE” Chazz Princeton. The guy wasn’t as bad as Kacchan but...messing with him what almost the same as bothering Seto Kaiba ! What was he even doing this side of Japan anyway ? ‘Quick Midoriya think !’  

               ❝ I-I’m... ❞ He squeak’d, quickly taking a bow before shouting ❝ PLEASE FORGIVE ME !! ❞ Though...due to his swift movement——the other cup’s lid shot right open; causing the liquid to burst out and soak the duelist yet again. Unaware the U.A. student remained in position, frightened yet, trying to hold his composure.    

She skidded to a stop, knowing she couldn’t dodge in time and flailing her arms and slashing in front of her as if she could smack him aside, “Hey! no-no-no-no-” But it was in vain as she felt the pure force of the body slam into her so much so that she herself was lifted off the ground. Gritting her teeth she hits the ground, hand tightened around her knife, the item becoming that much more precious after being thrown from her other one. 

“That was uncalled for Katsuki!” Huffing, Toga pushes herself to her feet and brushes off the dirt from her uniform. “You call me scum and yet you’re the one upset.” Plus he was threatening her cute hairstyle in such an uncute way. She could certainly teach him a thing or two about looking adorable when it came to his crazy hair.

“You really are as violent as they say! So let’s have some fun before anyone else comes. My safe word is purple!” Her grin plastered back on her face as she grabs a nearby stick to use as a makeshift weapon and poises to swing again. In the woods surrounded by trees, she could only daydream about the destruction that could happen via the explosions. It wouldn’t be as graceful as the blue streaks of fire from the camp not so long ago but it would certainly be a sight.

               ( 💥 )┊HE MIMICKED A LOW GRUNT bearing with the impact pain as the two gained dirt stains from the ground. It was a reckless move, one that was quickly made due to his short fuse temper, and now he was paying for it. Bakugou used the side of his arm to brush off he dirt around his face, gritting his teeth once he noticed the area around them. There was pros and cons of the situation at hand; the pros was: they weren’t in plain sight anymore...so the higher ups nor Toga’s partners wouldn’t be able to pin point them. Though, the con was: he had to limit his fire power because of it. The last thing he wanted was to lit up the entire forest and get busted over it.      

              ❝ Don’t talk as if you’re a fuckin’ Princess ! ❞ He hollered and pointed straight at her. ❝ If you go threatening any U.A. classmate, then there’s no reason for me to hold back. Plus you’re a villain sherlock ! ❞ The spikey blond might of been dense over certain situations but...he knew taking villains lightly wasn’t a smart thing to do. ( he knew that much at least ) ❝ P...purple ?? ❞ He mused in thought, nearly thrown off...but barely able to somersault in time to avoid Toga’s swing. Deciding to counter with small talk promptly after, in mere curiosity in wanting to understand one thing. 

“That’s me, though I wouldn’t go so far as to call me a duel king just yet…! I might be a pro, but I’ve still got plenty to learn.” In his opinion, that title still belonged to his dad no matter how many compliments other people gave him as Yuya lightly scratched at the back of his head. This was definitely the most enthusiastic greeting he’d gotten in awhile, that was for sure.

“Who knew a place like this would have such a warm welcoming committee thought! Gotta say, I’m already impressed!” 

                ( 👊 )┊❝ Oh, right, sorry about that I’m...sort of a fanboy. ❞ HE ADMITTED with a bashful tone before lowering his head apologetically. Feeling sheepish from the circumstance but it was only short-lived, considering this wasn’t the first time he embarrassed himself like that. ( He really had to learn to mutter in his head instead ) ❝ Yeah, there’s several nice people here in Musutafu, Japan. Compared to other cities, this one is the safest one...thanks to the heroes...but most of all All Might. He always go around saying how important the symbol of peace is; and that making people smile is one of the best things. So... ❞ 

              “   I didn’t! You just spilled that out yourself!    ”     It’s not like she purposely was trying to get him to confess that he doesn’t really hate Deku. All her words are randomly spoken without any ulterior motive. She’ll admit she wants them to get along, has told him so before, but that’s mostly for both their benefits. They’ll all have to work together in the future more than likely. It’s better not to have any hostility in between any of them. Brown eyes watch him toss a pebble across the lake, and it skips several long times before sinking. In the back of her mind she wonders if he’s just naturally good at things, even trivial things like pebble skipping. His personality, however, is something. He’s the type of guy her father would warn her against talking to.

                  Her shoulders raise in a small shrug with his counter, not offended in the least. It’s true, she’ll admit it, besides it’s not the first time she’s heard that from someone. The other hero name that slips past his lips makes her snicker again.    “    I don’t think that type of name would make people feel comfortable or at ease. You might want to think of one less–  ”   Like you.     “ —well, one a little nicer.    ”

                   Right, Deku had been a nickname thought by Bakugou, but Deku had admitted it meant something more after Ochako.    “   Deku can mean do your best! I always thought it when I first heard it but you probably didn’t mean it like that.    ”    Her optimism always follows through.

               ( 💥 )┊TINT ON HIS CHEEKS FLOURISHED still feeling embarrassed than anything else. When it came to getting him to ‘do’ or ‘say’ certain stuff...Kirishima and Uraraka were generally successful at it. They were hardly spooked nor affected by his threatening remarks too ! Either it was bravery or stupidity. Though, deep inside, he did appreciate the company. ( admitting it is a complete different story; unfortunately )     

              ❝ Then don’t go saying confusing stuff like that ! It’s sickening. ❞ Praising anyone, who wasn’t All Might, always felt weird to him. At most, he would drop hints but...being straightforward wasn’t his forte. Though he took his anger at the rocks instead. Skipping it for a few meters across the water’s surface, further than the last one. It also helped keep his facials away from his companion’s sight, of course, wanting to hide his ashamed expression from earlier. 

               ❝ Hmph. Then Death Explosion Murderer...it is. ❞ She can continue to try, but changing his mind over a ‘nicer’ nickname was almost near impossible. Katsuki simply shrugged, bending over to pick up another stone as he was preparing to fling it once more...that is...before her last retort chimed in. Disrupting his focus and causing him to toss the rock upward; landing in the midst of his spiky hair. Yet, he endured the pain, finally deciding to fixate his attention towards her. 

               ( 👊 )┊❝ No way ! It’s the duel king Yuya Sakaki. Pendulum summoning pioneer’s son, the born-entertainer who became a Dueltainer and worked his way up the ranks in winning the Friendship Cup ! Practically everyone wanted to learn how to Pendulum Summon because of him. He’s also part of the Lancers, Lance Defence Soldiers ! Acclaimed heroes by the world and—— ブツ ブツ ブツ ブツ ブツ ブツ ブツ  ❞ ( “mutter” “mutter” ) He continued babbling with excitement as his green hues perceived the duelist before him. Unaware how loudly he was fan-boying. 

She squeaks, having to stop her assault because of the flames and flips back to avoid the barrage. Once back on her feet and stable, she laughs wholeheartedly and points to herself, ”Helloooooo~ ‘Villain’? Playing fair isn’t exactly my thing.” It was almost cute how he expected some sort of announcement that the fight was gonna start, as if she’d fight on his terms. Just went to show he still had that naive hero mentality, even after all he’s been through.

Immediately she charges again, throwing a knife at his legs then brandishing the next from her other sleeve. Considering she only had the two weapons at her disposal she knew she shouldn’t be so reckless with them, but not giving him a chance to breathe was one of the only things she could do for an advantage. Coupled with her knowing his quirk, she’ll take whatever she can get. But if she could tap into that temper of his that would be fabulous too, “Besides! If Izuku can be friends with you I don’t see why he wouldn’t want to be friends with me!”

               ( 💥 )┊FUCK. SO CLOSE !——perhaps going for close-combat would of been easier to land a hit but, regardless, it was still a one-on-one fight ! Making distant attacks wasn’t his style...though he knew it was a smarter tactic. Especially against a stabbing-freak. Coming up with a strategy to capture her, on the other hand, did prove to be a challenge. 

               ❝ Right, I shouldn’t be expecting anything less from a damn scum of the league. ❞ Bakugou growled, inching further back to widen the gap between them- on cue leaping off the ground to avoid the knife aiming for his legs. Thinking of heaving another wave of firepower once he reunited with the floor again, but, after hearing her Midoriya retort...a burst of ego finally snapped. Deciding to blast behind himself to send him off flying straight towards the ‘bastard’.    

“Someone like you’d think that, but in reality, you’re not even close.” 

“As far as they’re concerned, someone like me doesn’t even have a turf. The only reason we’re ‘lucky’ enough to be able to live in a dump like this’s ‘cause they don’t have anywhere else to put us. We start trouble ‘n Security won’t hesitate to slam us with a one-way trip straight to the Facility courtesy of the higher ups! It’s that simple.” 

The gesture would only earn the other an uninterested glance as Yugo brushed him off. As great as the idea of ‘fighting back’ against the Tops sounded, even someone like Yugo knew that was a suicide mission from the start.

“—But if the first thing you wanna do is show up in town and test your luck ‘cause you’re new ‘round here, then go ahead. I won’t stop you. Only I hope you don’t have anyone waitin’ for ya back home ‘cause Security’s gonna put the boot on your trip back, too.”

               ( 💥 )┊——HMPH. Bakugou never liked being corrected, yet, he knew where the other one was getting at. If taken by the league of villains taught him anything...it’s that going against a field of elites is overwhelming for anyone. Especially for one individual to take on. 

                 ❝ Yeah I hear ya’. I faced several bad guys at once before...not looking to repeat that here. Although they don’t sound so tough. I’d drag a million of them to their grave !! ——before they take me down. ❞ At that he placed his hands back in his pockets. Kicking a rock aside, his burst of energy to quarrel diminished...seeing as the kid was set on not changing anything. ( how lame ) Though, curiosity did piqued in the slightest.
