A Fair Fight

"Aww you got new features," Y/N said standing cautiously, her brows creased.

"And you're still..." he scanned her figure, looking for details in her costume, "as boring as ever."

Whoosh. Beep.

"Oh really?" his eyes widened as he heard her whisper near his left ear, one of his target gone red. Y/N slid back to her position as fast as she came near him. Ofcourse she wasn't going to let an opportunity like this go away. "Doesn't really change anything, does it now?"

Oikawa smirked, a sense of excitement ran through his veins.

"Why are you laughing-" Y/N couldn't finish her sentence, but she saw him move for just a second and immediately covered her unmarked targets on her thigh and stomach, "dumbass."

"Ooh babe you learned new moves huh?" he laughed as he got blocked as soon as he tried to make a surprise attack like her.

"So did you!" Y/N smiled and used her hand to punch him on the stomach which he blocked, but it made him bend just a little bit and she swung her feet trying to hit him on his face but he blocked it again with his hand and Y/N immediately let go off him as he used his electricity to shock her. She gasped, still shaking a bit from his last attack and shouted, "Dude are you fucking insane?!"

"Oh no, but my hero costume is," he said, charging towards her using a similar fast move like Y/N's, "I just got some added features you see."

She blocked it too, and yelled, "You brought all the freaking features available with yourself or something?!" Holding his head, she dumped it down on her knee hitting his forehead.

Bad move.

She saw his hand move towards her thigh target, and was fast enough to slide back, kicking his shin in the process.

"It really boosts up my quirk you know?" Oikawa said as she released some of boiling water to his face, trying to distract him enough to get close and hit his second target. But he had something else in mind.

Well, he made sure to use the features added to his hero costume in his feet to move fast enough. And even if he didn't have the kind of quirk to move as fast as Y/N, he was better than her in using it. What looked like just a fight with surprise moves to the aspiring heroes, looked nothing but water fountain show to the audience. Yeah, only if they slowed down their fight, would the people actually be able to see their moves.

Y/N was panting and looking at her friend, who was equally exhausted to continue this fight cause it was going literally no where. She landed some sharp cuts and boiling water, enough to injure him just like she was hit with the moves he landed on her. "You see Y/N, I have to work twice as hard cause the only way I can use my quirk is if I touched water. Unlike you, I don't have the advantage of making water out of thin air. So this fight is important for myself," he panted as he moved fast towards her again, but as Y/N dodged his fist, she heard a scream and looked behind herself realizing that among the two students she attacked earlier, one of them was awake and wanted to use his red ball on her when she was distracted. Oikawa used his electric hand feature of his costume and gave him a shock enough to faint. "And no one other than me is allowed to end you today," he said.

It almost made her feel sorry for him but she didn't exactly have the time yet. Noticing his costume, and almost dry hand gloves, she got the idea of how to disable this new electric feature he had. Y/N heard the announcement of only 20 students left to enter and used a huge gush of water towards him, trying to wet him and like the kind of expert he was, he immediately dodged and landed a hard blow on her stomach, the target's glass on her stomach cracked a bit. She gasped, trying to breathe, and move away as fast as she could, but he landed another blow on her back.

"I wanted a fair fight so there it is. By the way, the gloves aren't so loosely developed that it will get damaged as soon as your water touches it. I don't know the details of it's manufacture cause frankly that's for the support department to know. But you really think I won't think of it having a water-based quirk myself?" he said, his tone was serious and that's the most seriousness she has ever got from him - from the cheerful Oikawa.

And for the first time ever, she found it so hard to breathe that she didn't even have the energy to move away. She knew he was good at fighting but she didn't know he was holding back in the training. Either that or he definitely got better. Using her quirk on him, she tried to make him move away desperately.

She used it enough for him to maintain distance after some time. But...

"Oh now that there's enough water for me," he said and she watched as he was moving his hand, she realized it. There was no time to react. She had to do something before his hands touched the water that trailed up to her. Ofcourse he had a plan all along. But she needs to use her head and come up with something in seconds. His dodging skills were amazing as well as his fighting skills. But there was one weakness.

Y/N didn't feel the need to feel better. She screamed and used her quirk like Bakugou and blasted off into the air, moving fast towards him before he understood what was happening. As she had known, he was good. As soon as she was near him, he used his electricity on her. Her mind was still working properly though. She moved her hands towards his head and gripped it tightly, making a small water bubble around his head. His eyes widened as he tried to leave but he couldn't.

After a while, he was only using his strength to move her away, but she was good at taking hits now. As he looked like he could faint if she did any more of that, she stopped using her quirk and he dropped down on the floor. Now, it was his turn to gasp.

Eyes red and coughing, he looked at her from the ground and asked, "What are you waiting for? Do it."

Y/N sighed and crouched near his lying exhausted body, "You wanted a fair play Oikawa. But you didn't think things through did you? These things on your costume isn't exactly a fair fight. These did give you a boost but I still managed to find your weakness. Took me sometime considering how good you're at masking it."

"Don't give me a lecture," he said looking away.

"Look, I get it that you're insecure about your quirk but that's what got you into hero course in the first place. No amount of technology can be better than your own quirk. You..barely used it Oikawa," she observed his face for a while and used her red balls to hit on rest of the targets on his body, "Well, I won't push it but talk to me about it when you're ready. I just..didn't expect it to find out this way. You were suppressing anger and it...does kind of hurt you know. Cause I thought everything I did was fine and we were at the point where we can express ourselves freely but...I guess it was just me."

"It's not that easy you know. I'm not angry at you. I'm just...pitying myself and being pathetic. I'll work on it don't worry. I'll try to be more...expressive," Oikawa said finally turning towards her, "But...good move. I didn't expect you to use my own attack back on me."

"Oh that? Well I was sure that you didn't train enough with your quirk and if your hands are focused on me then I can attack your head and try to drown you. I guess even I didn't think of giving back your own attack when I was busy drowning you. No wonder you stopped using electricity. It was going directly from my body to your head huh? And I'm pretty sure you can't do anything with your face. "

"Except killing people with my good looks," he chuckled.

Y/N laughed weakly and rolled her eyes.

[ TIME SKIP ]

"Dude you look awful," Kyoka pointed out at her.

"Yeah, Oikawa thrashed me pretty well," Y/N responded.

"Shit," she said, "He did this to you?!"

"Yeah...I guess it was brutal but a fair fight," she said scanning the room.

"Looking for him already?" Kyoka chuckled.

"Well..I know he's gonna be here. I just want to see his face," Y/N gasped looking at the blonde standing with his friends, "Wait, Kaminari made it too!"

"Yeah, I was surprised too I guess," Kyoka said as a faint blush covered her face, "But I'm glad."

"Ofcourse you are," Y/N grinned and looked at the boys. Kaminari and Mineta were currently angry over Midoriya for seeing a girl naked, "Oh..."

Y/N looked at her best friend's face which slowly turned sour. She said, "Hey, I know he's a bit of a pervert but once you are with him, I'm sure he's all yours."

"No he's not. His fucking pervert brain gonna stay the same I think," she glanced towards another direction and said, "I think Ochaco's finding it hard to digest more than anyone else."

Y/N looked at the girl with pink costume, who was staring at Midoriya. The girls looked at each other and walked towards her. "Well, aren't the boys of our class disappointing?"

Ochaco shot her head towards them and stuttered, trying to come up with an excuse but Y/N interrupted her, "Look we know what it's like." Y/N looked at Bakugou, who didn't even bother to look at her once.

"Oh...you mean Bakugou and Kaminari?" she asked.

"Uh huh," Y/N replied, "Stupid boys."

Finally, a smile came on her face as Ochaco said, "Oh, I guess we're all in the same boat huh?"

"Yeah, so if you need to talk about these stuffs...then we're here for it," Kyoka finally said something.

"I didn't think you would admit in front of her," Y/N said, surprised.

"Well, we need to support each other emotionally in these cases someway right?"

"Bakugou knows...doesn't he?" Ochaco said suddenly.

Y/N face turned red, but she responded, "Uh..yeah I told him a while back and.." she cleared her throat, "he turned me down. How did you know?"

"Like the way you knew I was disturbed. I guess...I connected the dots. He's not so verbally brutal anymore, I mean with you only."

Her eyes widened and she looked at Kyoka, asking if it was true to which she nodded with a smirk.

"Oh bloody hell...I didn't notice," Y/N said looking at the blonde, her heart beating faster than before. She noticed him looking back at her as she turned away quickly, talking to her new sad-unrequited-love-suffering group of friends.

She should have looked longer though. Cause he did.

He noticed her wet appearance and slightly tired figure, but a smile still covering her face. A strange sensation of relief spread in his heart. Without realizing, a bit of his mood turned better. Some part of his worry washed away. He trusted Y/N with her skills more than he did before.

Or....maybe he always did.
