a quirk that highlights the parts of the body someone is insecure about hits the bakusquad.

sero’s hair is twinkling, mina’s eyes glowing, kaminari’s has sparkles all over his arms, kirishima’s teeth seem to shine, jirou’s chest glitters...

and bakugou’s dick is shimmering.

it’s a bit troublesome, especially when they’re in class and tokoyami can’t focus because of the sparkles that are floating around sero’s hair, or kirishima’s blinding whoever he’s talking to whenever he opens his mouth.

the same goes for the other four who are dropping more stars and glitter than aoyama (who’s sulking in the corner over not being the most dazzling person in class anymore.)

they thought they could hide it, with contacts and with clothes, but the sparkles show over them.

and as the days go by, with the constant staring and the hushed whispers around the hallway, the glittering becomes more and more noticeable.

it’s as if someone had wrapped them in twinkling, flashing lights, and it’s become more of a nuisnce than ever during class.

no one knows when the glitter will go away, or why the little lights are flickering where they are.

aizawa and the principal have already reached out to nearby hospitals for quirk registries in hopes they can find one that matches their symptoms, but no luck so far.

“try and see if you can shift the focus of the glitter.” aizawa told them. “somewhere less... embarrassing for some.”

“don’t you think i’ve tried?” bakugou seethed, his backpack on top of his lap. “you think i want my—”

“we’ll try harder.” kirishima’s muffled voice rang.

they walked out of his office, and jirou cracked a smile to her friends as kaminari held his biceps.

“h-hey, so, since this quirk happened, wanna know something funny?” she asked, and they looked at her. “people actually look at my chest now.”

sero laughed. “is that okay?”

“w-well, no.” she decided. “it’s funny though, and it takes the attention off the other girls in class.”

“shit, try walking up at three in the morning for water and the first thing you fucking hear is icyhot say, ‘diamond dick’.” bakugou grumbled, and they all began to laugh.

“i’m kinda glad it’s just my eyes.” mina told them. “they were already pretty weird before, so now that they glow, it’s nothing different. people stared then and they stare now.”

“i hear you.” kirishima held his hand over his mouth. “my teeth have always been eye catching.”

“honestly,” kaminari huffed, “i wish the sparkles were showing off my dick or my hair instead. at least i actually like those. my arms are all scrawny and weak compared to everyone in class.”

“they’re not so bad. you could be mineta.” mina reminded and he chuckled.

“yeah...”

“it’s like the quirk picked the one thing we hate about ourselves and slapped a target on it.” sero commented.

“if that were true, then we tell you all the time to get a haircut.” bakugou hissed. “and what is shitty hair gonna do? yank his teeth out?”

“yeah, why not?”

kirishima pushed kaminari’s shoulder as he laughed, disregarding his pinched eyebrows.

“and when he’s done, he can eat meat smoothies.”

“that’s just a protein shake.” mina waved her hand, and jirou laughed as she nudged kirishima.

“hey, how is someone insecure of their dick?”

bakugou glared her way, and kirishima fist bumped her for her attempt to shift the focus away from him.

“shut up, sugar tits.” he snapped, and she covered her chest. “why do guys have a bigger bust than you do?”

“i can get breast implants. can you get a dick implant?”

“more like can i get a fucking dick reduction?” he muttered, and mina looked over to him. “raccoon eyes, i can fucking see you staring at it! can you fuck off?”

“i’m not even looking!”

“it’s like two headlights on a car, don’t fucking look at me! i’ll kill you!” he yelled.

“so...” sero trailed off. “i’m right, aren’t i? it’s focused on what we’re insecure most about?”

“you have it easy.” kirishima huffed. “find a pair of scissors and you’re all good!”

“your hair’s not even that ugly.” kaminari reasoned as they walked towards the dorms.

“it’s not.” jirou agreed. “i actually kind of like the long hair. don’t go cutting it. try styling it.”

“as if he’d listen to the chick the ugly asymmetrical bob.” bakugou scoffed, and jirou played with her earphone jacks.

mina gasped. “jirou, your hair is sparkly too.”

“bakugou!” sero scolded. “apologize!”

he looked over his shoulder, and jirou tried fanning the glitter away.

“it’s not a big—”

kaminari smiled at her,
one arm hanging over her shoulders. “your hair’s not bad either, jirou. it’s pretty punk, actually. totally suits you.”

kirishima nodded as he cheeks burned red. “yeah! honestly, it’s really cool.”

“girl, let me tell you, you’re the only person i know who could pull that off.” mina grinned, and jirou covered her face, the glitter around her hair fading.

“thanks, guys. it means a lot to me—”

bakugou dropped his backpack, and kirishima’s hand felt to his side.

“h-how—”

“you mean to tell me that my dick is going to sparkle until someone compliments it?” bakugou asked, and kirishima swallowed.

“we gotta actually like our insecurities?”

mina blinked. “i’m fucked.”

“why don’t we just sit in a room and compliment each other?” kaminari shrugged, and bakugou physically gagged. “come on, kacchan, you have to think something nice about us.”

“i don’t want you motherfuckers kissing my ass with some lies.”

“kissing your dick.” kaminari corrected.

“as if i want that either!” his face flushed, and sero agreed.

“i can confirm that i really don’t want to compliment bakugou’s dick.”

jirou held her chest. “mine’s a little personal too. i mean, what are you gonna say? ‘nice tits’? i have as much boobs as sero does.”

“well, we gotta do something before we have spotlights on us!” mina whined. “i’m going to look someone in the eye, and they’re just going to melt!”

“can’t we try? what else are we supposed to do? we got into this mess, so we have to get ourselves out.” kirishima reasoned.

his hand covered his lips when bakugou physically flinched away from the brightness glittering inside of his mouth.

“sorry.”

“i just don’t see how my idiot friends saying, ‘nice cock’ is going to make me love myself, but to each their own or whatever.” bakugou told them.

“so we’ll meet in sero’s room later.” mina told them.

“why my room?”

“i like your hammock.” she grinned, and he rolled his eyes. “i call it. whoever’s in it before me gets an staring constest with me.”

kaminari rose an eyebrow. “i like being able to see, thanks.”

please pick wisely.
