~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bakugou POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Dodge it, Deku!" I roared, sending a massive, controlled blast of air pressure right at the nerd's feet. We were in Training Ground Beta, and the entire class was watching from the observation deck. Yesterday, my brain was completely fried, but today? Today I felt unstoppable. Having him on my side meant I could push myself even harder. Deku activated his power, green lightning crackling around his boots as he leaped high into the air, flipping completely over my attack. He landed with a sharp grin, his eyes glowing with that familiar, fierce determination. He didn't look scared of me anymore. Not even close."You'll have to try harder than that, Kacchan!" he yelled, launching himself forward.I gritted my teeth, a massive smile breaking across my face. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. "Bring it on, nerd!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Deku POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The air around us was thick with the scent of sparks and energy, but for the first time in a week, my chest felt incredibly light. There was no awkward avoidance, no hidden tension, and no worrying about whether I was being too much. We were just Kacchan and Deku, rivals and partners, pushing each other to the absolute limit. I spun through the air, trading rapid blocks and counter-attacks with him. Every time our gauntlets collided, the shockwaves echoed through the training ground. Up on the observation deck, I could see Kirishima and Kaminari cheering loudly, while Mina was practically bouncing on her heels, pointing at us and whispering something to Uraraka. They all knew something had changed between us, but right now, out here on the field, none of that mattered. Kacchan lunged forward, stopping his fist just an inch from my shoulder, breathing heavily with a fierce, proud look in his eyes. "Not bad, Deku. You're actually keeping up."I lowered my guard, wiping the sweat from my forehead, my heart racing with excitement. "I told you, Kacchan. I'm always going to keep up with you."We stood side-by-side as the buzzer rang to end the session, ready to face whatever came next together.
YOU CANNOT STOP ME FROM MAKING THESE
