Seventy-two

Excellent summary for this chapter.

"Izuku, I'm home." I say, walking into our dorm. "Azula." he runs from the bed and gives me a bear hug. I feel my shirt become damp, "Hey, what's the matter?" I ask hugging him back. "I heard what happened while you were on patrol." he says, oh. 

"Oh Izu." I hug him tighter, the fact that I arrived a little later than usual might have added to his worry. I kiss his head, I know it probably didn't help, I mean I could've died today. But I have an idea that might coax a smile from him. "Izu look at me." I say gently. He does so, his eyes a little puffy and red. I brush away a tear with my thumb before going into my best imitation "Have no worry: Because I am here." I think I cringed a little, but I got more than a smile from as he let out a laugh before hugging me again "I know, I just got a little worried when you didn't get home around when you normally do." he tells me as I start rubbing his back, "Trust me, it will take a whole lot more than a bullet to keep me from you." I say to him.

After a few minutes of hugging, we sit on the bed and he starts talking about what else went on during our day. I grin as I told Izuku about my rank.

"You're kidding me right?" he asks, all signs of tears gone. I hand him the packet that was on my desk this morning "See for yourself."

He does so and hugs me again "That's amazing Azula!!" he yells practically in my ear. "I know right?" I laugh "I didn't even know that the ranking would happen so soon!"

"Oi!" Bakugo says from the still open door. We look over at him, probably looking like idiots. "Yeah Kacchan?" Izu asks, still holding me and the packet.

"Food's ready. And you better tell everyone why the heck you two are being so loud." he answers before walking away.

"Come on." Izu still smiling as he picks me up and carries me out of our dorm. "Izuku!!!!" I squeal, kicking my legs a little as he walks.

I hear Katsuki snicker down the hallway, I swear to fucking Afro. "Can you get the elevator for me please, Kacchan?" Izuku asks the boy.

"Sure thing Deku." he is only enjoying my torture. "Bakas." I mutter with my cheeks going pink, I swear these two get along better than Bakugo lets on.

I relax a little more than when I was first picked up as we enter the elevator. "Looks like the Cold one ain't as cold as she says." Bakugo remarks as the doors closed.

"Do you want me to kick your face?" I ask "Because I can." And he knows very well that I would do so. "I'll pass." he responds.

We arrive to the lobby and immediately notice Shoto and Toya looking pissed off, along with the rest of the class but mainly those two, Izuku sets me down as I ask what the hell was going on.

No one answers, but there are a lot of glares being sent to Mineta, "Does someone want to tell me or do I have to hack into the security system to find out for myself?" I ask in motherly tone, not the nice one but the one that you can tell that you are in trouble.

Luckily for many, Iida takes the initiative "To be straight to the point, Mineta said a highly rude and inappropriate comment that highly offended your brothers."

"The homophobic prick." Toya mutters, loud enough to be heard. Now I see why those two are so mad, "Thank you Iida," I say toward the class rep before turning to Mineta "Would you care to elaborate what you said?" 

"Yeah," he snorts "gays a discussing. Why the heck would you date someone that's the same gender as you?" I hum as I hear Bakugo growls a little. "Okay. Bakugo, Shoto and Toya why don't you three goes upstairs and cool off." Because the room got a tad-bit warmer than it was before. "After I killed the fucking prick." Toya growls, but I shoot him a glare "Toya, now." 

After a few minutes of a silent argument, Toya leaves with the other two. I ask Midoriya to make sure they stay upstairs until I come and get them. "Mineta, let me just say this:" I start once the four were gone "You are an idiot." simple as that.

"Why? Because you support them, it's my opinion." he retorts. "Just because it's your opinion doesn't mean you have to fucking say it." I tell him "And you made things worst for yourself saying it in front of my brothers. Honestly it seems to me that you were trying to entice a fight against them." It is seriously taking every once of me not to punch him. "Fucking bitch." he says "You are siding with them because of your twin."

"I'm a cold-hearted bitch Mineta, and I would side with them even if my twin was straight." With that, I leave the dorms so that I don't turn him into a raisin.

I leave campus and find myself at a dojo. Not one that I've been to, it doesn't matter. I walk in, I just need to get my anger out. I am already in what can be deemed as work out clothes so I go over to the punching bag after checking in and taking off my socks and shoes.

Kick kick, punch punch. Hours and patrons go by without my noticing. I just focus on beating up the punching bag, the only thing that matters right now. 

"Azula?" I turn to see Hawks, or I should say Takami, behind me in a black muscle shirt and black shorts. "Hi." I reply, going back to my abuse of the bag. "What are you doing here this late?" he asks. 

"Training, am I not allowed to?" that sounded a little snarky, but I am still mad at an idiot. 

"I'm guessing no one else knows you're here, right?"

"The lady at the front desk does. Or was." I do a spin kick, probably bruising my left foot a bit not that I am caring at the moment. I hear the hero sigh a little before doing something that I don't pay attention to.

I hear him talking to someone as I continue the routine I have been doing for however long I've been here. "Hey kid." I turn to Hawks and he hands me his cellphone "Someone wants to talk to you." 

I take the phone in hand and up to my ear "What?" I ask, as I kick the bag again. "Where the hell are you?" it's Toya, no surprise there.

"With Takami." I reply, wincing a little as the seam of the bag scraps the top of my left foot.

"Do you know what the time it is?" Toya asks in an annoyed tone. "Late, so I've been told."  another kick to the bag as Hawks stands nearby.

"It's after te- did you just punch something?" was the thump that loud?

"No, I kicked something. My hand is full."

I hear a sigh on the other end "Look almost everyone is worried sick after you just walked out without saying where you were going. Especially Midoriya, do you know when you will be back."

"Once I cool off or before class, whatever comes first." I reply.

"Fine, do you want me to tell your boyfriend that or do you want to tell him yourself?"

"Can you tell him for me. I'm still pissed at the fucking grape."

"Okay, see ya."

"See ya." I hand the phone back to the owner before sending a punch to the bag, hard enough that you might've though I used One for All or something, just some steam.

"-yeah, love you too. Bye." I hear behind me. "So," Kiego says a bit awkwardly "want to talk about why you're mad?"

"A homophobic prick is the summary of it." I kick the bag with my right foot, I think I scratched the bottom a bit; not caring right now.

"Okay, stop." Hawks grabs my wrist, the right one pressing down on the still healing wound. "Why?" I growl slightly, it's better for me to beat up the punching bag and receive cuts and bruises then for me to beat up Mineta. "Because your feet are bleeding and your knuckles are bruised." he replies, keeping hold of my wrist. "So? The bag is fine and I'm not tired yet." I retort. "I can tell, the thing is the dojo is closing soon and we don't want to get kicked out do we?" he responds. I scoff a fine as I grab my socks and shoes, not even putting them on.

We leave the dojo, thanking the person at the desk for letting us use the punching bag, and walk somewhere. "Where are we going?" I ask, still bare foot on the cold concrete. 

"My place, Toya figured you wouldn't be leaving the place unless you were dragged out, but still mad at your classmate. So I figure you could stay at my place for the night and sleep the anger off."

"So you lied about when it closed?" I ask.

"No, it closes at midnight, sooner than you would've left in your own." he answers.

After walking for a while, we arrive at his place. It's large and expensive, like the place of my birth, but in the sense of modern. It's on the top floor of an apartment complex, all white a crisp like it's hardly been used. Wouldn't be surprised, he could be spending more time working or with Toya.

"So what are you hungry for?" y host asks as I put my shoes by the door. "Whatever you want." I shrug. "Chicken it is!" he smiles. There's a pause like he is expecting me to say something, "What?" I ask.

"Well most people would say something about cannibalism." he elaborates. "But it's not cannibalism, you're Hawks not Chickens." I reply. The hero gives a laugh "True, just most people don't seem to realize that."

"That's their fault for not using a dictionary." I shrug.

"Anyways," he changes the topic "there's a bathroom upstairs if you want to shower or rinse off while I cook."

"Okay." I go upstairs and find the bathroom, big and expensive like the rest of the place. I close and lock the door behind me before pulling out my phone. I have a few messages, but I ignore them as I place the cellular device on the white marble countertop before stripping and stepping into the shower. I turn the water on cold, mainly due to my burn that I remove the, now wet, bandages off. It's getting better than it was earlier this week. I'll let it have some air before rebandaging it after dinner. I wash my hair, after seeing what I recognize as Toya's shampoo, before stepping out and drying in with a towel and not my quirk like I normally would, again because if the burn. 

I dress and pocket my phone before heading back downstairs, after cleaning up my mess in the bathroom. As I reach the bottom of the stairs, I follow my nose to the kitchen where dozens of feathers are flying around, bringing things over to this evening's chef. 

"Feeling less irritated?" he asks over his shoulder, "Well I won't burn Mineta to a crisp if he were to pop up right now." I sit on a barstool at the marble island. "That's good to hear." the bird replies. He brings over a pan with fried chicken, setting it down on the bare counter. A pair of his feathers brings over plates and napkins. "Bone Appetit." he says with a gusto. I roll my eyes as I grab a drumstick with my right hand, barely feeling the heat "Isn't it hot?" he asks using tongs to serve himself. I shrug "I guess, but not to the temperature I've dealt with."

"Really? That's interesting."

We continue making small talk as we eat, no mention of my burn, that is visible thanks to my t-shirt. 

I finish eating my second piece of chicken before going for a third "How many are you going to eat?" Takami asks in surprise, I shrug "I don't know, I mean I have been burning calories all afternoon, I need to replenish. Besides this isn't much compare to Midoriya and Yaoyorozu." 

"Seriously? How can anyone eat more than that?"

"With the amount of training we do and Yaoyorozu's quirk is her main reason. It also helps that I, generally, cook when I'm not burnt or something similar." I answer between bites.

"Like your arm?" he nods toward the slightly blackened blob on my forearm. I nod "Yup, or if my hand is blistered especially."

We finish eating in silence and I offer to take care of the dishes, since I don't want to feel useless. "Not with your burn." Hawks says, I give a 'really' look "Your joking right?"

"Nope! Plus it's almost eleven and you have school tomorrow, so off to bed." he answers. "I don't even know where the guest room is." I say, "Across from the bathroom, now shoo!" he answers, gathering the dishes with his feathers. I sigh before going upstairs to said room. Then I remember about rebandaging my arm.

I first check under the sink in the bathroom for a first-aid kit or something to wrap my arm with that isn't toilet paper. Nothing, medicine cabinet: nope.

"Shit." I mutter before going back downstairs. "Hey, do you have a first-aid kit-" I stop when I see my homeroom teacher in the living room "Oh, Aizawa-sensei." I bow slightly.

"Todoroki," the teacher says "I hope you realize that running out like that was not the best thing to do."

"With all do respect sir, it was better than if I let my anger take control." I answer "Mineta might not have been in the best of conditions."

My teacher nods his head before tossing me a bag that I catch, "Your older brother asked me to drop this off, seeing that you missed the curfew."

"Thank you Sir." I swing the bag over my left shoulder "Is there anything else?"

"Not until class." I leave with a bow, going back upstairs as the two pros go back to talking.

Once back in the guest bedroom, I open the bag to see my uniform charger and a first-aid kit. I plug my phone and then addressing my arm. It still look bad, but not like Monday bad, I wrap it up then going to check all the messages on my phone.

Many of them are from Izuku, Shoto and Bakugo asking where I am; some from the rest of my classmates. I open the group chat that I renamed to "The Big Squad" containing three gentlemen and I.

A: So Toya did not say

--

I turn off my phone and laying down on the bed. I know Katsuki meant well when he asked, but I'm still kinda in a bad mood. Texting the boys did help a bit.

I should get some sleep because it's getting close to midnight, but I don't think I will get any.

 So Wattpad decided to be a hero and delete from Hawks and Azula leaving the dojo to the end. Luckily I have it saved on a different app so I just had to copy+paste on to here and work my butt off on the formatting and mainly fixing the texts to make it look more like actual texting. But we are all good!
