Chapter Text
A cold breeze made the crimson leaves flutter The students of class 1A were quite excited to finally begin training outside of school grounds. They all excitedly hopped on the bus to a city a few hours away from the school. Kirishima trailed behind the class, getting on last. Today was a bad day, he just couldn’t help comparing all of his friends awesome quirks and skills to his. He felt inadequate; compared to all his friends, he was nothing. He couldn’t do anything but take hits with his dumb hardening quirk.
“Yo, shity hair!” Bakugo’s loud scream made Kirishima jump. Since when has Bakugo’s explosiveness made him flinched? Isn’t that what had made him become acquainted with him in the first place? And most importantly, when did he start letting these things affect him more than usual?
He clenched his fists. He needed to evolve not do the opposite.
“What?” He spat quietly, and before he could realize his mistake, Bakugo’s face was already laced with distaste.
“Get out of your own stupid head and get on the bus! You’re holding us up.”
“O-oh right! Sorry.” Great, now Kirishima was letting down his friends even more. He really was awful; not good enough to be a good friend and definitely not good enough to be a hero. Why was he even trying, he should just drop out of the hero course and stop holding the others back.
He sighed. It was only morning and yet he already wanted the day to end, though it seems like fate was set on making this the most miserable day of his life. It started when he woke up late, no time to do his morning routine. Then he missed breakfast, leaving him hungry until they stopped for lunch. Kirishima just hoped that this field trip wouldn’t be a repeat of the training camp, he doesn’t think he can handle one of his friends getting kidnapped again. The bus starts up and they start driving, everyone in class talking to each other while Kirishima just watches the world pass through the window.
