Fifty-five

Don't y'all agree with the picture. Happy Late birthday to Toga (August 7) and Endeavor (August 8) I literally have their birthdays and others on my phone calendar marked.

To Saturday! (✧Д✧)→

I rest my head on Izuku's shoulder holding his hand as we ride the bullet train to another city. Bakugo had planned a double date, though he didn't tell us what we are doing; not even Sho knows. "How much longer?" I groan, I am getting a slight headache for no reason. "Just a few more stops." the planner says looking out the window. I cover my eyes with my beanie in hope to block out the light and calm my headache.

"Don't fall asleep." Katsuki warns. You try sleeping with a headache. 

We reach the stop and my headache starts to lessen as we walk outside. "Where are we going?" Sho asks his boyfriend, but he doesn't answer. Bakugo leads us to a café, I'm guessing for some food. We take a table more to the back, allowing me to take a look at the café. It's simple, white walls, black tiles and tables. A worker beings use the menus, I scan mine. 

Nope, no soba, got to choose something else. 

 "Are you ready to order?" the lady asks with a smile. I nod as the boys verbally answer. I order a sandwich with a caramel macchiato since I don't know how long I have to stay awake. 

The boys ordered their food and the lady left, leaving us in silence. I am not complaining about it.

"Okay," Katsuki interrupts "so we don't sit here in silence like the awkward, edgey teenagers we are let's do twenty questions but everyone has to answer, including the asker." 

We go along with it since this is suppose to be a double date. "You first." I tell Bakugo. He glares slightly before asking for our birthdays.

Izu: July 15

Bakugo: April 20

Sho and I: January 11

Making me and Sho the babies of the quad. The lady brings our food and we eat as Izuku goes next "Favorite colors." 

"Orange." Bakugo says, Sho says "White and pastel blue."

Izu says green shocker I know. I shrug "Never had one."

"You're joking?" Sho says. "No, I am Azula and occasionally you." I reply with a smirk "And seriously, I don't have one. I prefer certain colors over others but not have a favorite." I then ask the question of favorite holidays.

Bakugo and Shoto: Halloween

Izuku: All Might Day

Mine: UA Sports Festival Day. Thing.

"Seriously, I don't know if that counts Azula." Sho say. 

"It does for me." I grin. 

We are almost done eating, so Bakugo says that this is the last question before we go. "Okay," Sho thinks for a second before saying "Who or what affected you the most?" Wow, that is a deep one Fist crusher.

"And how." he adds.

"I'll answer first." I say "Back when I was six, one if the aids in my class took me to UA's Sport Festivals and to see the first years. Things were rough the year prior to the point that I didn't care. But seeing the Festival," I pausing looking for the right words "help my spark to return even if only a little." I shrug. Sho nods before saying his fight against Izuku. 

Then it was Bakugo's turn. "A girl back when I was twelve. She said and did something that at first I didn't really think about at the time but now it hits hard."

"What did she say and do?" Sho asks. 

"First she stood up to me when I was doing some stupid shit, telling me that quirks has nothing to with being decent." he says "Then she punched me in the face." 

"Now I want to meet her." I say leaning back, my headache mostly bearable.

"Well good fucking luck with that, she was expelled and I have no idea what the hell happened to her."

"What was her name?" Sho asks, the other two gentlemen shrug. "I never really talked with her." Bakugo says and Izu says that he might've forgot her name but that she was really nice.

"We better get going. I still have something planned." Katsuki gets up to pay for our meal.

More walking later

We arrive at an old building that seems abandoned and slightly over cooked. It's a few hours before dark and few more before we have to go home. "What is this place?" I ask as I am handed a black face mask. "It was a mall but it burned down a few years back after some guy in the food court freaked out over a grease fire and dumped water over it." Bakugo informs us, I put the mask on, along with the boys. I am surprise the mall is still standing for the most part.

But a burned down mall, curious, very curious. We walk into the mall, flashlights in hand, and begin looking around as a group. Deja vu starting to set in for some reason as we walk by one of the stores fronts, "Hey let's check this one out." I say directing my flashlight at it. Bakugo declines "There was one death, a little girl from what a worker said, she was getting something and when the fire started she wouldn't move. Not even when the worker grabbed her hand. Well you see how the mall is, the heat would've killed her along with the smoke." this side of Bakugo surprise me a little, but what he told me sounds familiar. "Did they find her body?" Sho asks, I glance to see his boyfriend shake his head "No and the father said one time he saw her ghost when he was nowhere near here." I nod my head, also understanding why he didn't want to go into the store: disturbing the dead can take a big hit on your Karma from what ancient writers believed and possibly of ghosts will take care of the rest. "I don't think she is dead." I say softly which was muffled more due to the mask. "Come on, let check out the food court." Izu suggest though I know he doesn't like the idea of ghosts. "Yeah." I smile before following them upstairs. 

As we do so, I notice the security cameras in majority of the stores, which got me thinking. Shit I don't have my tablet, looks like I will have to use my phone. I pull out my phone and unlock it with my left hand as we reach the starting point of the fire. "They would've found her body." I say taking a look at the shop, the plastic shell of the camera looks only a little melted but it could have a high heat tolerance, either way, there should be a body.

"How do you know that?" Sho asks tilting his head slightly, I point at the camera "The plastic is only slightly melted, sure it could be heat-resistant or something of the sorts but the rest of the store only looks chard." my phone dings, the cameras still work and I am connected. "Maybe once we get back we can watch the footage." I wave my phone slightly.  

"What do you mean Azula?" Izu asks. I just say it's a story for home. 

We continue to explore until Bakugo says we needed to go in order to catch the last train home.

To the dorms! ⟩⟩⟩

We agree to gather in Bakugo's room with my phone and laptop. I hook the computer to his TV, my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse in hand ready to get techy. "What was the date of the fire?" I ask Bakugo. He informs me that it was December 28, ten almost eleven years back. I type in a few commands and push play starting with a few hours before the fire. The screen showing the front parking lot, the store where the girl supposedly died in, the store across the way, then a couple of cameras in the food court "Let the show begins. But there isn't any audio, though the feed seem high quality." I say.

About an hour and a half in, both me and Sho notice someone entering the store next to the death one. "Is that Toya?" Sho asks, I proceed to zoom in to prove that it was him. But then- I pull up the other cameras inside the store next door to Dabi's and I spot a familiar hoodie "Give me a second." I zoom in on the child in the hoodie. More specifically the items in their hand: Two Eraserhead plushies and two All Might beanies. "That's me." I am flabbergasted, the video continues, my face showing occasionally and my hood falling off in the commotion of the fire. My rescue and then after I was long out of the store, Dad running in, looking for me. 

The footage stops but we don't move, all of it was a complete accident. He never wanted to get rid of me. 

Again, another short one. Sorry! But, hey, over a thousand words!
So I have a question, I want to get more of Azula's past inputted without taking up the chapter. Nor making Azula dream it all, so I am thinking of just sliding it in at the end. Not every chapter but a few. Let me know if that's okay or not! Also thank you for reading this far. ^↓^
