The halls of Superhero Academy were bustling as Kim Namjoon tried to bob and weave his way through the various students, none of which looked quite as excited as him to get to their first class.
Namjoon had to keep tight control of his power, which was easier said than done. He was terrified that he might one day snap and do irreparable damage that he could not take back. While most students around SA loved to show off or use their powers to their advantage Namjoon had never publically used it.
The teachers of course knew why and due to the nature of his ‘Talent’ they were more than happy to allow him to avoid most practical demonstrations. In fact, he even had a private class set up where he could work on his powers with a teacher / mentor away from other students and special equipment during mainly practical courses. Because of the ‘mystery’ of this mostly unknown power and the fact that despite that he was able to stand as the friend of a rather talented group of people despite this there were a lot of rumors about him. It often seemed that half of the school thought of him as a legend, the other half a joke.
Some of these rumors were flattering, the kind he suspected was started by Jimin and / or Tae to combat the nastier ones. In these better rumors Namjoon was extremely gifted yet humble and the powers were quote “too much for mere mortals to stand.” Of course the other rumors were that he had no powers, but that since his parents were rich and he was smart he had somehow managed to get into Superhero Academy through money, connections, and intelligence. This less flattering view of him also alluded to the fact that the only reason Suga, Jimin, and Tae ‘followed him’ was because they were paid.
As absurd as that sounded Namjoon didn’t let it get to him. In fact a part of him was very amused that some portion of the student population thought that Suga could be bought and somehow still managed to live. Whatever upset he felt about this rumor in particular being spread was not about him and his lack of ‘talent’ but rather about how badly it reflected on his friends. People were practically calling them gold diggers and hired help in that scenario. But he couldn’t help what other people thought with their own free will, and Namjoon felt that the truth was worse, at least for him, then the fictions thought up by his schoolmates.
Namjoon snapped out of his thoughts as he brushed past two hulking figures. He couldn’t remember either of their names, but he did remember their powers. One was able to harden so that he was practically rock and the other had super strength, both looked pissed and Namjoon lifted his hands up in a surrendering motion as they glared at him. Namjoon had the distinct impression that the two might have ignored the gesture in favor of hitting him had it not been for the sudden arrival of one of his best friends Min Yoongi.
Min Yoongi was an interesting case, because although he was on the smaller side, there was something about him that inspired fear in others. It was a look and a presence, Namjoon was pretty sure, which was funny because despite his tough looking exterior and no-nonsense attitude, he could also be pretty adorable and sweet sometimes, but Namjoon would be damned if he was the one to say that to his face. And even if he did it would not be at this moment as he was glaring daggers at the two other boys, daring them to try something.
Namjoon let out a little sigh as Suga, as Namjoon and close friends liked to call Yoongi, gently nudged the other boy forward and yawned once he didn’t have to continue giving the other two glares,
“Why do you always get up so early? You know it’s not a good idea for you to be alone in the halls.” Suga put in, half considering demanding a piggyback ride, but deciding that probably wouldn’t continue to inspire fear in others.
Namjoon shook his head a little and shooed the thought away with his hands,
“I’ll be fine, most people are all talk anyway. Nothing horrendous happened to me even without big bad Suga to scare the rest of the population away…well most of it anyway.” Namjoon mused as a small group of decidedly Suga’s fans giggled and waved at him.
Suga merely glared at them and rolled his eyes before grabbing Namjoon’s shirt at one wrist and moving him along,
“Most are not all Namjoon, besides I really don’t get it if you only used a little of your power most of these punks would-” Suga began, but Namjoon gave him a look that he knew all too well so he stopped midsentence knowing that his friend did not even want hints about his power anywhere people could hear.
“Violence is rarely the answer.”
Suga snorted,
“Says a clearly delusional student of a Superhero Academy,” At this point Suga ushered his friend into their classroom for dramatic effect before adding, “and you’re wrong my friend, violence is always the answer.”
Ever the peacemaker Namjoon let that go as he slid into a seat in the front causing Suga’s eyes to widen, before narrowing again,
“Have you learned nothing from last year?” Suga hissed at his friend, legs itching to go to the back of the room, “it’s the first day of the new semester Joon, are you trying to get called a teacher’s pet?”
Namjoon blinked at his friend before saying, quite clearly,
“No, I’m just trying to learn, that’s why we all should be here.”
Suga slapped his forehead and let out a sigh,
“I’m sorry Joon but I am not about to sit in the front seat like a kiss up. Will you be okay up here without me?”
Namjoon simply smirked at his friend with a little laugh,
“I’m sure no one would dare to mess with me during a Superhero class, particularly when I have such intimidating back up.” Namjoon teased, taking out a textbook, notebook, and a pen.
Although it had been a joke Suga nodded,
“They’d better not.” He said rather loudly as he made his way to the back of the room, scared one of the seats only and current occupants, and settled in the seat looking self satisfied.
Namjoon smiled fondly at his friend before turning back around, bouncing with excitement at the thought of what he might learn that day, as he heard Suga curse when he realized how early Namjoon had set his clock earlier than it needed to be. Class would not start for the next fifteen minutes, but Namjoon couldn’t wait. Little did he know that his bubble would soon burst.
But before it did Namjoon daydreamed about what he would soon do or learn, before wondering how Jimin and Tae were doing in their own classes. Not that anyone’s would start for the next fifteen minutes, but it was nice to imagine. Namjoon hoped it would go well for his friends, that would make the day even better.
As for that moment all Suga hoped was that he wouldn’t feel the need to slug anyone before lunch, decidedly friends included.
