Warnings: Mention of Sexual Activity

P.S Remember this is happening during the end of their 3rd year of U.A

The weekend comes around and Misaka keeps you company in your dorm room. You were starting on your design, physically creating the shell of Bakugou's new gauntlets. Thankfully you did snatch a few things before you were put on suspended leave. You had extra parts in your dorm room due to working on your course project assignments.

Misaka was laying on your bed with her head hanging off the bed, throwing a squishy ball and listening to you talk about your hang out with Bakugou. You continue messing with metal parts that are supposed to be the trigger of the gauntlets. You were putting screws where they are supposed to go.

"Sounds like you had a lot of fun with the angry Pomeranian." She glances over at you.

"Yeah. I was surprised. I thought he would be a buzzkill when it comes to fun, but he actually knows how to have fun." You spoke fondly of Bakugou, after seeing Bakugou in a new light.

Bakugou Katsuki can be sweet whenever he wants to be. He was rough around the edges but had a good heart underneath the layers. It did take a while for Bakugou to warm up to you and get comfortable after working with each other multiple times in a short amount of time. He does come across as vile and blunt with his words, but he was truthful and doesn't sugarcoat things.

He was primarily the reason why your present current costumes and support equipment for fire types quirk users are a lot better. He told the truth, but also provided constructive criticism whenever he could. He has helped a lot, which made you appreciate his blunt self. He provided a lot of insight.

Misaka hums while bouncing the ball into the air and voices out her thoughts. "I am guessing Midoriya hasn't spoken to you."

You sigh heavily as you place the shell on top of your desk before standing up and sketching your limbs due to being in the position for a long time. Misaka stops bouncing the ball and observes your body language. You climb on the bed and lay beside her.

"He hasn't spoken to me, but he has been staring, unlike the other times. He simply refused to look at me. It's a working progress. I get where he is coming from. I would have been upset too if I were to be in his position."

"But that doesn't give him the clear right to let his friends belittle you whenever you are in their presence. He enables that behavior when he knows it was completely false." Misaka voices out her real feelings about the whole situation.

Midoriya should have put a stop to the rumors on its tracks. The rumors are now getting ridiculous about you sleeping your way to becoming one of the best inventors in the U.A. You became second place right behind Hatsume Mei the year before the completion. You had cheated throughout the three years at U.A. It seems like he didn't follow her advice on stopping the rumors.

She just knows something else is gonna be added to the rumors about you when they come back to school. Misaka saw the effect of hanging out with Bakugou. She remembers seeing Bakugou holding you by the wrist and continuing walking, clearing a path with the eye he was glaring blank weeks earlier.

You no longer held your head down, but held your chin up. You took your power back instead of being ashamed of yourself. She doesn't know what Bakugou has been doing whenever the two were alone and spending time together. He sparked that fire that was formerly extinguished by your own peers to strangers. You have regained your confidence once more. You are ready to face the day.

Misaka wasn't blind either seeing how Bakugou and Kirishima started sitting with them instead of their usual spot with the rest of class 3A. Misaka saw you slowly coming back to yourself. You were putting yourself together again slowly but surely.

"Maybe he doesn't know." You softly said, doubtful.

Misaka is kinda conflicted about seeing you being heartbroken over the whole thing, but seeing someone beside you other than her. She has learned to like the klutz ex of yours, but seeing how a blond male stands up for you whenever you aren't around. Bakugou was doing what Midoriya was supposed to be doing, putting a stop to the rumors. He was doing it within his own friend group, from what Kirishima had been telling her. He has shut down anything remotely false. She knows the two of you have been working together when it comes to fixing his own costume for your present to Midoriya.

She will keep it to herself about her personal thoughts, unless you ask for them.

Meanwhile, in the Class 3-A dorms, Bakugou and Kirishima are eating lunch. Mineta sees the pair just chilling, eating their food after their morning training together.

Mineta slams his hands on the table and blurts out the dying question. He couldn't hold it back anymore.

"Is the sex good?"

Kirishima chokes on his sandwich and smacks his chest. Bakugou froze mid-way chewing, completely taken off guard. Mineta has improved over the years, but sometimes the perverted mind of his gets too much to keep to himself.

"I am guessing the two of you are sleeping with each other since Midoriya broke it off with them. I mean she is kinda hot, but still a wh-" Mineta shuts his mouth as his eyes make eye contact with Bakugou.

In a split second, Mineta started running for his life through the dorm and bumping into his peers. He has grown a few inches, no longer short. Mineta was jumping over the couch to get away from the angry male who is about to murder his ass for his comment. Bakugou was following right at his heels and Kirishima was behind him to prevent him from murdering Mineta. The girls didn't even try to help him, but purposely got in his way for Bakugou to catch up and trip him.

Mineta sees Midoriya with Todoroki only to scream and cry at him. "Help me!"

Midoriya Izuku was always the sweetest angel in his class during the 3 years of being together. He barely gets mad or irritated. He is always willing to help and is oblivious as he is. He glanced up at the mention of his name to only terrified Mineta with infuriating Bakugou after him as Kirishima was running to catch up. Bakugou's hands were sparking up slightly with a murderous stare.

Todoroki plainly stares at Mineta trying to hide behind them to only step aside. He isn't gonna protect him from Bakugou. He probably deserves it. Bakugou is a reasonable person, that's what he would like to be believe

"I don't know what I'm actually getting fucking sick of. I get it, you got hurt but not putting a stop to the bullshit gossip train. It's getting out of hand. That's just being a bunch of bags, Deku." Bakugou stares down at Midoriya voicing his thoughts out, what has been on his mind for the past couple of weeks. Kirishima was putting a hand on Bakugou's shoulder to only get it to shrug off.

"You wanna know what the gossip of the week is? I am more of a boyfriend than you are. I am sleeping with her. I actually stomp on those rumors. When in reality, it's your responsibility as ex or boyfriend. I don't fucking care but you are enabling that behavior." Bakugou speaks his mind and adds. "If this even got out to the press, it would be considered fucking defamation of her character. The media would murder her career and eat her alive."

"You are just saying that because you like her. You have been hanging out with that whore ever since Midoriya broke up with her." Mineta butts in and continues on. "You have alternative motives such as getting into her pa-"

An elbow was smacking into his face, stopping him in his tracks. Mineta is holding onto what seemed to feel like a broken nose. His eyes glanced up to look at Todoroki, but it wasn't him. It was Midoriya who was staring him down with a fake smile on his face. "Sorry."

He didn't apologize at all. Bakugou was right. He was being a massive bunch of bags, ignoring his surroundings and not taking into account how you are taking everything else. He wasn't getting shit on a daily basis. He has fans, but their anger isn't directed at him. It was directed to you, who knows what else has been spoken of. He never took into consideration how you are dealing with the backlash. If this were to happen in the real world, it could have the potential for your career.

He was being selfish. You gave him the space and took on the consequences without saying a peek. Ever since talking with Misaka, he wasn't blind to how Bakugou often hangs out with you outside of school. He knows Bakugou has potential feelings for you after accidentally eavesdropping on his conversation with Kirishima.

"You are right. Everything you said is true. I only solely thought about myself, without thinking. I am in a higher hierarchy than her. I hold a lot more power than her. I must have made her life a living hell for the past weeks." Midoriya says, staring back at Bakugou with confidence.

He knows how unfair it was to have more followers/fans than you. He had the numbers within the student population while you didn't. You had a very small circle of people.

"[Name] isn't a whore nor gold digger. She isn't necessarily a bad person. She is very talented at what she does. She is super creative and attentive to everyone she works with. She rightfully earned her place in the hero support department. She got there by herself. She did it all on her own." Midoriya stops his ramble realizing what he was doing.

"Tell me something I didn't know. I am not the person you are supposed to be apologizing to." Bakugou stares at Midoriya and walks past him.

Kirishima passes them to catch up with his best friend. Everyone who was silently watching the event happening in front of them immediately looked away when Bakugou walked past them. With that Midoriya walks out of the dorms with determination on knowing what to do. He was a man with a mission in mind.

It was the push Midoriya needed instead of overthinking it.
