At the night of the biggest game of the year... The school had filled with students to the max. No extra seats were saved up in the crowds, others even stood but never complained- The game was always incredible, and it never disappointed. 

From above, they watched the school's newest team prepare for their first ever show.

The yellow-haired boy approaches their leader shyly. His eyes wandered around them, being overwhelmed with the countless members of the enormous crowd.

"Bro- Positions! We're about to start-!" Kirishima begins in a hushed tone.

"Wait, bro- I wanna say... We should be careful. TetsuTetsu claimed he got a few threats for the team from the Jocks..."
"What, you're scared of them? Really-"
"No... N-No- What? Pfft. No..."
"Kaminari. Go back to your place."

Excited air horns blow, the band begins to play an upbeat composition to hype up the already-pumped crowd.
Tonight was the biggest night of the school year; The Boys' Football Team from U.A Highschool, versus the Boys' Football Team from KetsuButsu Academy HighSchool.
Tickets were sold out, and the seats were all taken- The crowd was so large, a few police guards scattered around the large area.

It was a night of clear skies... Not a single cloud blocked their view of the stars. The air was a bit chilly, as a night's weather would be.

Their hyped up announcer steps up to the middle of the field, alongside a fairly pretty lady.

"AAALRIGHT LADIES AND GENTS! WHO'S READY FOR THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE CENTURRAAAYYY?!" The blonde man hypes.

The crowd goes wild.

The band waits impatiently, all on the edge of their seats as they could barely wait to play their school's team's theme song.
It was a small twist of the theme song for 'The Purge', a personal choice from the UA's Boys' football team themselves.

A huge credit of speech was given for the new cheerleading team, and their hearts begin to beat out of their chests-

"GIVE IT UP FOOOORRRRR, UA'S NEWEST CHEERLEADING TEAM, AND THEIR LEADERRRR... KIRISHIMA EIJIROU!"

They begin their choreography.

It was extremely well composed, no errors were made while executing the cheer.

They finish off lifting their leader, who stood on the hands of TetsuTetsu and Sero, and having the leader stretch his arms out wide beside him.

-

-Meanwhile...-

"Oh my god-- They started, they started--" Shinso claims.

The leader felt little no interest in stopping his stretches to go watch. His pack currently towered behind the main entrance's curtain, which was opened in a slightest sliver.

Todoroki gave in after a few more comments by the other two.

"Oh, Todoroki-! You DID see the leader himself walking around in the uniform-!" Monoma laughs.
"Their uniforms are extremely revealing-- Those shorts... Contour their junk way too perfectly, that's gross-" Shinso sighs.
"Bakugou, come look-! They're about to do the grand finale-!" Monoma persuades.

He sighs heavily as he grumbles out curses. He storms towards their way and shoves them aside roughly, peeking through the curtains.

Oh.

But how much did he regret that decision...

Their leader was... Breathtaking?

It silenced him for good.

His angered expression fell, he stared longingly as the leader was lifted, and stood up so proudly.

"What... The fuck.." He whispers.

"Aren't they so ugly-?! Like, at least-- No-! Just don't allow the guys to be cheerleaders at all-!" Monoma laughs.
"I wouldn't care if the girls were here either." Shinso shrugs. "But honestly... They would be better than them. There's some pretty attractive girls this year..."
"You guys are hopeless." Todoroki states bluntly.

Bakugou has to force himself away from the curtains. He swings his arm, somehow getting all three of the players. Todoroki growled loudly, getting ready to swing his arm back at the blonde.

"Get fucking ready, dunce-heads. We're getting out. You, rabies-boy. Go get the rest of the fucking team. NOW."

-

"GIVE IT UP FOR OUR MOST PROUD, SUPER LOUD, EXTREMELY TALENTED AND, DID I SAY PROUD-?! OUURRR FOOTBALL PLAYERSSSS-!"

Slowly and smugly, the team walks through the large, black curtains. The crowd goes wild as their team leader was carried by two other players. His cheeks were painted with two black paint lines and his arms were stretched out wide, showing off his muscles.
Kirishima had noticed the leader. Again, the name replays in his mind like a broken record.

'Bakugou... Katsuki...'
'He's ridiculously strong.'
'He's... Not bad looking either...'

"LET'S BE A LITTLE LOUDER FOR OUR STRONG AND LOVED LEADER, BAKUGOOOUUUU KATSUKIII!"

The team stops in between, and behind the cheerleaders, who were split up into two small groups.

The cheerleaders ruffle their pom poms and excitedly motion towards the leader, Bakugou Katsuki,-

Who could not.

For the love of his life.

Keep his eyes away from the cheerleaders' leader.

The other school's team was introduced, and the night went on.

●

"You guys did great-! There wasn't ONE mistake with that cheer-!" The shorter girl compliments happily and proudly.

"Thanks, Uraraka-chan! We were really excited to show it off-" Kirishima smiles politely.

"Excuse me,-! Excuse me, sorry-!" A small, yet very excited and very familiar voice begins from the crowd. "EIJI-KUN-!" The girl begins.

Kirishima sighs, Sero throws an arm over his shoulders to support him.

"YOU LOOKED SO GOOD-!!!"

"Ash..." He greets quietly. "Thanks... But the others did amazing as well... So let's give them some credit, right-?"
"Right right--" She quickly dismisses. "You looked SO PROUD--"

Her ramblings were, to Kirishima's grand relief, interrupted by their school scoring a point.

Kirishima was tugged away by Sero, and the girl was left alone in the crowd, pouting.

●

They were called down again to finish off the night with more cheers and smiles.
Their team had won, to no absolute surprise but to much cheering and happiness.

The last cheer was not a planned choreography but they began a new "ritual" for the school.

Literally, to just mess around.

They would pull audience members down to the field to create mini competitions, the winners would win prizes like T-Shirts, and even hugs or cheek-kisses from the players that would agree to giving winners prizes.

The leader of the football team, of course, stood untouched.

"NEXT GAME IS... WHOEVER CAN MASTER THE MOST CARTWHEELS WINS A HUG FROM ONE OF THE LEADERS!" Kaminari exclaims with the microphone.

Kirishima felt so praised whenever the audience members chose him to get a hug, or a kiss from.

"OH?! CAN THE LEADERS DO CARTWHEELS AS WELL?!" Kaminari hypes up.

Kirishima gives Kaminari two excited thumbs up, as all eyes land on Bakugou, who just glared at the new announcer hatefully.

The crowd begins to chant "Leader versus leader" and Kaminari excitedly catches on.

Bakugou, of course, felt conflicted.

He had only stared at the red head... Taken in his beauty.

'I can't fucking believe what I'm feeling.'

'NOTHING- I'M NOT FUCKING FEELING ANYTHING TOWARDS HIM-'

'FUCK HIM AND HIS STUPID FUCKING PRETTY ASS--'

'I FUCKING HATE HIM-'

...

'I can't fuckin' compete against him- He'll fucking distract me... I'll fucking lose-'

He was somehow pulled to the middle of the field.
He stood beside the cheerleader, confused yet angered as all day.
He smelled good... Despite all the dancing and cheering he had been doing.

He stood up proudly, hands on his hips and a smile that the girls would die for.
Bakugou rolls his eyes, and turns his head away from him.

He couldn't explain the irrational rapping of his heart... So fast... So unnecessary...
A few yards away from them stood two more cheerleaders; Sero, and Aoyama.

"WHOEVER CARTWHEELS THEIR WAY PAST THE CHEERLEADERS FIRST WINS! REAADDYYYY...!"

Bakugou and Kirishima exchange looks, and the two freeze.

Their eyes... Were extremely... Beautiful and luring... To each other...

"GO!"

Bakugou backflipped,- A 'manlier' way to finish the challenge,- as Kirishima cartwheeled.

They were extremely close at the end, and Kirishima's one hand, and Bakugou's legs considered them both to be...

Tied.

"THAT WAS A TIE-?!" Sero exclaims, smiling widely.

Bakugou was a little dizzy and lightheaded, but he stood back up nonetheless. His team rushed their way towards him, nearly tackling him as they raise him up as a 'trophy'.

Sero tackles Kirishima to the ground, as the cheerleaders all join him.

Bakugou just watched as the redhead laughed out loud, being pinned to the ground by his cheer mates.
What a pretty sight it was...

●

"Okay but having the new cheerleaders running the game actually made it so much more fun-?" One of the players begins. They all sweat and panted heavily, they were all exhausted.

It was the most fun, and challenging night they had in a while.

Bakugou wrapped his legs and shoulders with braces and bandages, sitting aside Todoroki and Shinso.

"And the guys were also super nice. They're pretty fun dudes!" Another claims.

Bakugou stayed silent.

"The leader was the most polite. He was super hyped too--" The first one commented. "I didn't catch his name though.. I will admit I wasn't at all interested in the star--"

"No one. Fucking was." Bakugou spits out lowly. "And no one. Fucking will."

He stands up and walks away without another word.

He was tired and his constant thought-rambles gave him a headache. He would call it a night, but knew that his thoughts wouldn't let him sleep.

But his head ached even more once he reached his dorm's floor. And he noticed something his ignorant self had not realized yet.
