Chapter Text
It had been some time after the Kamino Ward incident that Class 1-A notices some changes with their symbolic class duo. Namely Midoriya Izuku and Bakugou Katsuki.
To be more precise it had happened after their given house arrest.
At random or unknowing moments, one of their fellow classmates would notice something different about them.
Kaminari and Kirishima actually witnessed their explosive friend making some kind of weird beaded jewelry. When they asked him why he was making it, they received an explosion to the face. He just growled at them for a moment before going back to his task while ignoring their presence. Later that same day, Kaminari and Kirishima tried asking him again but Bakugou seemed to play it off as if he didn't know what they were talking about.
As for their resident green haired cinnamon roll, Uraraka and Iida found him on a separate day from the jewelry incident hastily jotting down notes in a leather bound journal instead of one his normal notebooks. Now this wouldn't really seem off from the usual for their friend, but they were surprised him to noting down different types of plants and their properties. Usually Midoriya would be focused on heroes and their quirks while muttering at the same time.
It wasn't around two weeks of this odd acting pair that their classmates decided to talk about it to see if they individually weren't going crazy seeing these odd changes.
"Is it just me or is Bakugou and Deku acting weird?" Uraraka asks during their self study period.
Before asking this question, Izuku and Katsuki had left the room to help All Might who required their assistance on something. So it was safe to bring this question up to the class with the two boys in question out of sight and hearing range.
"Define weird in their terms," Jiro says a bit unsure. Their problematic duo had all kinds of different definitions to certain terms after all.
"I saw Deku collecting some plants the other day and he turned them into paste in the kitchen." Tsuyu was near the dorm building feeding the koi in the pond when she noticed Midoriya from a far collecting some weeds and a couple of flowers. Later on in the door when she was cleaning up she had noticed him grind the plants into some kinds of paste for some reason she did not know.
Iida hums while holding his chin in thought. "I don't think that's too weird." His friend had always been the type to try new things. So he assumes Midoriya was trying to experiment for reasons to do with study.
Kirishima cuts into the conversation from his seat with a raised hand to get their attention. "Bakugou was with him, watching him make it over his shoulder, without a single cuss or swear. He was quiet the entire time." The red head had been there as well, but looking from his spot in the common room. He had been watching TV with Bakugou until the ash blond decided to leave the couch to travel over to the kitchen.
At the time Kirishima was thinking the explosive teen was gonna get a snack from the kitchen but he was wrong when he went to check the guy. Apparently Bakugou had been watching Midoriya the entire time quietly. Until a few minutes later they made light conversation before Bakugou left to return to the couch and resume watching TV with him like nothing happened.
"Now that's red alert weird." Kaminari says feeling a cold feeling travel up from the end of his spine.
Midoriya and Bakugou are known for their estrange friendship despite Midoriya's attempt to meet the ash blond on the same level.
Despite their relationship seemingly mellowed out after their house arrest, these past few weeks of their strange actions between each other have been weird for all of them.
Class 1-A has been trying their best to keep up and understand but they keep failing in that department between the two teens.
The Symbol of Victory and the Symbol of Determination, unspoken titles that the two teens had individually earned from their classmates unknowingly. Opposites side of the same coin but work well together in their given moments. Their unknowing titles as class leaders when they come to training to become heroes.
The class merely sighs in hopelessness.
They were sure the two would be the end of them as a whole.
The door to the classroom was hardly slid open. An angry long ash blond entering with a pacifying greenet by his side.
"Kacchan!" Their resident cinnamon roll responds with his hands clenched into closed fists at his side. The words that slipped out of his mouth next weren't even Japanese anymore. Heck it wasn't even a language they could pinpoint that even existed!
Bakugou replies in the same strange language, the only word they understood is Midoriya's childhood nickname tagged at the end.
Izuku huffs and looks around the room to land his sights on Kirishima. "Kirishima, -" Whatever the teen was about to say to the red head went to that strange language being spoken instead of Japanese.
But whatever their green haired classmate said angered Bakugou. The ash blond growling threateningly at his not out loud admitted rival. "Deku! ——————- ——— —— Kirishima!"
Their conversation getting lost in translation to their classmates who were starting to become even more concerned the longer they watched.
"Boys! Boys!" Mina exclaims finally having enough of this weird bickering. "Stop, speak Japanese please! We can't understand you." She whines as she gets up from her seat.
Both of them stop and look at Mina confused.
"Ashido..." Midoriya looking at her apologetically although a bit confused.
With his usual annoyed scowl, Bakugou doesn't look apologetic at all. "Whatever Pinky, tch." His hands now shoved into his pants pockets. "Anyways we were speaking Japanese the whole time. Why the fuck wouldn't we."
"Eh?" A couple of the class students sound lightly.
"But we couldn't understand what you two were talking about since you guys stepped into the classroom," Iida points out with his usual choppy arm movements. "Kirishima couldn't even understand your question from earlier Midoriya."
"Hah?" Katsuki glances Kirishima's way who seems genuinely confused.
Midoriya looks to Kirishima with the same look he gave to Mina. "But I asked Kirishima about Kacchan's recent attacks we did earlier today for training. I thought they were lacking something and was asking for your opinion on it."
"I already told you nothing’s wrong with my attacks, Deku!"
As their conversation went in, thankfully back into native language, the class were collectively thinking about bringing this to their teacher's attention.
So far what they've been doing haven't been normal.
~•~
This was how Aizawa got into this situation as the class representatives stood before him at his desk in the teacher’s office.
They had come to explain Bakugou and Midoriya's recent behavior that were no secret to him and the other teachers. They've all noticed a shift in the class duo after their house arrest.
Not only during classes but also in the passing outside of class.
"Aizawa sensei, is their anything you can do about them? As a class we a very concerned for the well being of our classmates." Iida asks with concern expressed all over his face.
Momo standing just beside him with a similar expression of concern. A slight nod from her shyly in agreement with Iida.
"For now, I'll ask you both to watch them closely and report to me if there are any extreme changes."
"Then," Momo starts with a slight squeeze of her hand over her other one. "Would an extreme case be in a sudden language change?"
"Hm?" Aizawa gazed leveled and serious. "Explain."
"During our study period, Bakugou and Midoriya left for awhile due to All Might wishing to speak with them. They came back sometimes later speaking a language we've never heard of..." Iida explains equally serious as class rep. He needed to report this in the best detail possible to seek help for his classmates. "What's concerning the most is how they thought they were speaking Japanese the whole entire time."
Their teacher crosses his arms with a thoughtful look. That does sound concerning and troublesome. His problem at the moment was how to proceed with assisting his problem children without causing even more commotion.
"I'll talk with the other teachers about this and see what we can scrap up to help them. For now, keep an eye on them until we can come up with a solution."
"Yes sir," The two class reps reply and bow before taking their leave from the teacher's lounge. Once the door is closed, Aizawa sinks in his seat and closes his eyes.
Yamada Hizashi, or known as Present Mic, turns in his chair to address the said topic to the tired teacher. "So what are you really planning to do Shota?"
"Gather more information before pulling up a contact up mine who I think might help."
Aizawa peeks one eye open to see Hizashi raise a brow inquiry. "I have this one contact who has this special quirk... We don't work that often together but we do ask for favors from time to time. I'm sure she wouldn't really mind helping my problem children. It's not that often she gets to use her quirk."
The blond pro hero hums as he's actually interested to learn more about this contact. His friend being an underground hero sure meets lots of other underground heroes and make all these connections to trade information.
"If it helps, the two listeners have been awe fully close lately." Mic rubs at the back of his neck awkwardly. "Not saying it's bad or anything, but it's sudden, you know what I mean?"
The raven haired hero hums in response before turning his attention back on the papers settled on his desk.
He can only hope this situation isn't as troublesome as it poses to be.
~•~
Later in the dorm of Heights Alliance where Class 1-A stayed, Izuku tapped the tip of his pencil against his chin in thought. Not even caring at the current moment that he was actually seated back against his childhood playmate's chest who is currently reading a book for an assignment due for another one of their classes.
His friends had been more than concerned for his actions lately and it did trouble him in thought. He just couldn't understand their worry.
Nothing for the past few weeks have been any different, if anything everything had been relatively normal.
"Deku, don't think too hard. You're fucking mumbling again." He hears Kacchan tell him as he rests his free hand to Izuku's to right hip. He shifts slightly to the side to allow the ash blond some more arm room on said side.
Izuku looks over his shoulder to look meet ruby red eyes. "Kacchan, do you think we've been acting weird lately?"
"Ha?" A typical response from the explosive teen. Kacchan looks as though he's asked a stupid question. "The fuck- Are you going on about what the extras said earlier in class?!"
"I mean, they did seem pretty worried Kacchan!" Izuku tried to defend as he quickly sets his pencil down at the low table next to his work. He shifts again to face Katsuki more clearly with a twist on his body. "I don't think we haven't done anything from the usual but our friends have noticed a difference if their telling us this. Something we apparently can't see."
Katsuki eyes narrow for a moment at he holds a steady stare down with Izuku. For all Izuku could assume is the ash blond will retort with the usual rebuttal.
"Get it together Deku. Those extras are probably over exaggerating shit." His hand comes up to ruff up Izuku's messy green hair.
Izuku fidgets a bit in place after getting his hair even more messy. He fixes his hair the best he could and look back at Katsuki with a pout.
"Alright Kacchan, I’ll try not to think about it too much."
"Damn right you should."
A few minutes after their conversation, Katsuki's friend group comes entering the common area. They had come down to use the Tv to play some games to relax a bit after finishing their assignments for the day.
Upon walking to the couches, they find the problematic duo seated at the foot of the couches in front of the low table between the TV and couches.
Bakugou seated back against the couch holding a book reading. His free hand resting on the right hip of a very familiar green dark haired classmate. Between his parted legs sat Midoriya hunched over finishing the last of his assignments.
"Guys?" Mina is the first to break the silence.
While Midoriya is focused on his work, their named squad leader gives his half given attention on them. "What do you extras want?" He asked them, not even giving them a glance.
"Uh, we just wanted to know what you two were up to," Mina continues with an nervous laugh following up on her words. The three stooges around her still trying to process what their seeing.
"Homework. Need the TV or something?" One handedly closes his book to finally turn his crimson gaze their way.
"Yeah dude," Kaminari took the second to finally say something.
Kirishima nods, "Wanna join us bro?"
"We got fucking rescue training tomorrow. I ain't losing sleep for it." He pats Deku on the hip to get him out of his thoughts. He might as well drag the teen upstairs as well since they both need to be in tip top shape for training. "Get up nerd! We're leaving!"
"Eh?! But Kacchan-"
"Now! We have shit to do tomorrow!" He says harshly as he gets up. He grabs at Izuku's collar, "I will drag you and you know it!"
"Kacchan! ————— ——— —— —————!"
"—— —————— ——— —————-! Deku!" Katsuki adds at the end with a gruntled growl.
Again, the Bakusquad was lost in translation to their foreign language. They could only watch the disagreement end with midoriya collecting his worksheets and being dragged to the elevator by the collar of his shirt because of their resident number two problem student.
Sero smiles wearily with a sigh.
"I hope we can figure out this problem soon."
