You slapped Bakugou across the face.
Midoriya's mouth gaped, scared for what the blonde would do to you in retaliation. But Bakugou only stared at you, confused as to what he had done to deserve that.
"Uraraka worked really hard." You were genuinely angry with him. You watched how hard she fought and didn't feel it was right for Bakugou to assume that Midoriya had helped her. "How dare you give someone else credit."
"(Name)..." Midoriya's voice was shaking as he reached out to calm you down.
"No!" You backed away from the two boys. "Even though the rest of us may not have quirks as amazing as you..." Your eyes began to water for some odd reason, probably from the frustration of explaining your point. "Just like you, we've worked hard to get to where we are. Don't underestimate the rest of us, extras. Stop being a jerk, Katsuki."
With this, you ran off toward the cafeteria.
This took Bakugou by surprise, so he stood in place for a moment and then ran after you, but ultimately lost sight of you.
He initially decided to look at the stands, where the other 1-A students were.
"Hey Bakugou!" Kaminari had gained the male's attention. "That must have been hard, being the villain."
"Even though it was an uneven match up, you did well. Ribbit." Tsuyu complimented.
"I, on the other hand, couldn't help but hold back." Kaminari sighed and put his hands behind his head nonchalantly. He was referring to your fight with him and this made the ash blonde mad. "(Name) got lucky this time."
"Shut up! She kicked your ass." Bakugou retorted, defending you.
He was irritated that Kaminari had tried to belittle your effort.
'Was this how she felt when I said that?' Bakugou was in deep thought. He felt... guilty.
"Your face is scary!" Kaminari was frightened.
"Hah?" Bakugou scowled. "Trynna pick a fight?"
"EEEK!" Kaminari yelled, trying to hide behind Sero who was sitting next to him.
"Hey, don't pull me into this!" Sero was struggling. "You shouldn't talk about (Name) that way."
"Knock it off." You walked down the steps toward Bakugou and stuffed a popsicle into his mouth. Then you sent a glare Kaminari's way. "You know, if you want a rematch, just say so."
"N-No, I'm okay." The boy stared at the sky, avoiding your gaze.
"Women don't usually like cocky men." You blurted, which struck Kaminari's pride—even though your comment wasn't directed toward him.
"(N-Name)..." The electricity boy was crying.
"Face me." You ordered Bakugou nonchalantly. "Look at me."
"Hah?" Bakugou turned to face you as he took the popsicle out of his mouth.
You placed a hand on his face, over the cheek you slapped, and transferred energy into his body.
"OWW!" Bakugou tried to pull away but your other hand held him in place. "What the fuck?"
"This is an apology for slapping you earlier." You bit your lip.
After you slapped him and ran away, you regretted getting physical.
"I don't need it." He removed your hand and popped the popsicle into your mouth instead. "Also, I don't need this cold shit."
