Disclaimer: The title is not based off a song, I dont even know what song it is but apparently these are famous song lyrics. I'm just really bad at coming up with titles.

This story is in Ochaco's (Uraraka's) viewpoint, and takes place once they move into the dorms. There might be some spoilers if you haven't gotten that far yet. Rated T for language cause its Bakugo. This is my first (hopefully of many) fanfics so I hope you'll bear with me as I learn how to be a better writer. I'll stop wasting your time now, hope you enjoy! ~ Des
Chapter 1: "What do you think, round face?"
.
.
.
Today is move in day! I'm a little nervous about the whole ordeal but excited at the same time. Once everyone arrives at the dorms Mr. Aziawa gives us a general tour and then we all head off our separate ways to unpack. 'I still cant believe how spacious this room is.' I think, as I stand in the middle of my currently barren room.
As I unpack my mind starts drifting, going into the depths of my imagination as I wonder what the future holds. Living in the dorms will be great because I get to spend more time with my classmates but that's not the only reason I'm all giddy. Bakugo is also here. I'm not sure when it started, I think it was during the sports festival, when I realized I liked him. My face gets hot at the idea. What struck me the most was his quick wit and honesty. Unlike what most expected, he treated me like a worthy adversary, not just some porcelain doll that was fragile and would break at the slightest tap. Though our reasons are different, we both strive to be a top hero some day, and on that day we proved our dedication.
Maybe, not likely, but maybe... Perhaps... I might be able to get closer to even find out the meaning behind the word 'love' that is said so often. Most of the time it is said without much thought, but sometimes it isn't said enough. I've heard some say love was like the ocean and came crashing down when you least expect. Others say its like a vine that slowly grows around your heart. I've read enough books, seen enough movies, heard enough songs, I've even read the definition several times about the subject. No matter what, I cant seem to fully understand it. Sure, I've had crushes before, felt the fluttering of butterflies in my stomach. But I've never felt that true love, the one that binds people together. That people say lasts a life time. I cease working for a moment, lost in thought. 'Wait, what am I doing?' I shake my head trying to get rid of the thought. 'Heh, look at me. sixteen and already thinking about weird stuff.' After I finish unpacking I flop onto my bed and decide to take a little cat nap.
The gang decided to go around judging each others dorms for a bit which was a lot of fun. Afterwards Tsyusu asked me for moral support as she confronted the guys about their dangerous rescue mission. By now it's late and I'm quite exhausted despite having had a nap earlier. I decide it's exhaustion from being overwhelmed at all that has happened today, not necessarily from sleep deprivation. I almost make it back to my dorm when I feel a poke on my shoulder. I turn around and find deku smiling at me.
"Hey Uraraka," He rubs his neck nervously. "I was wondering something."
"What's up?" I ask.
"Oh uh..." He said as his face was getting increasingly red, "I was just wondering. Well we've known each other for a while now and... You see"
"Spit it out Izuku" I snap. "S-sorry its been a long day."
"No its fine, I get it!" He takes a deep breath and says "Anyways, I was wondering if I could take you out sometime. Like a date?"
I go blank for a second. Me and Izuku? I guess I could have seen this coming. Everyone says we look good together but I like him in a brother kind of way. I could never imagine dating him...
"O-Only if you want of course" he stammers. "I just think we would make a good couple, your really nice to me..."
"Oh... Izuku. I just dont feel that way, sorry." We both stand in awkward silence. "You're a great guy! Someone else will be lucky to have you. We can be friends still though, right?"
"O-Oh of course yeah, I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked." I can tell he's getting embarrassed now. "I guess I'm not good enough yet. I'll prove to you I can be the man you deserve!"
"It isnt about that." I say. "It isn't about deserving, it's not because of who you are. I just don't think of you in a romantic way."
"If you don't mind me asking. Is it because you like someone else?" He asks, a bit of sadness in his eyes.
"Uhhh..."
"I see" He says without needing an answer. "He, o-o-or she, is a very lucky person. I wish you the best. But if I can show I'm better, maybe you'll accept me." and with that he bows, then quickly turns away heading back to his room.
I feel bad because Deku has always been nice to me, but I could never agree to date him if my whole heart wasn't into it. At long last I get to my room and soon drift off into a peaceful sleep.
Thankfully we get a three day weekend for having just moved into the dorms. My classmates and I mostly watched TV and talked in the communal room throughout the day. Well most of us, Bakugo and Izuku were missing, although I could guess why the later wasn't here, and Tokoyami had some other business to attend to. 'I hope he's alright' I think while making a mental note to check on Izuku later. As time ticks by it starts getting very late when my pink friend suggests we all play truth or dare to celebrate our new home. Bakugo walks in and everyone turns to look at him.
Bakugo: "What the fuck are you guys doing? Why are you all looking at me like I'm a damn clown or something?!" He shouts at everyone, making a majority of us chuckle.
Mina: "We were just about to play truth or dare! You should join us, It'll be fun!" She exclaims in her usual perky voice.
Bakugo: "Like I would do some weird ass shit like that!" He states, making me somewhat disappointed. He looks at me and pauses to think for a second before saying "Well fine! Only so I can shove it in your guy's faces when I win!" as he plops down on the couch. "So who do I get to kill first?!"
Iida: "There will be no killing in the dorms!" He says while moving his arm up and down. "Now is everyone acquainted with the rules? Those who fail to answer the truth or do the dare will be removed from the game!"
"We know Iida!" everyone chimes.
Iida then sits down, and I notice Bakugo whispering something to Kirishima. We then begin the game.
Tsuyu: "Ojiro I dare you to hang upside down with your tail fo-"
Bakugo: "What the hell kind of dare is THAT?! Even this red haired dirt brain could do better!" as he nudges Kirishima. "Isn't that right?! You show these people what a proper dare is!"
Kirishima: "Okay... Bakugo truth or dare?" To which, bakugo obviously replies dare. "Hmm, Okay, I dare you to go on a date with Uraraka. Do you accept?"
Bakugo: Without missing a beat "...Fine. Only to win this game, got it?!" He sounds angry but yet seems quite pleased. He walks over to me and says "What do you think round face? Tomorrow at noon?" while offering his hand out to me.
Is this real? Is this a fantasy? I never imagined him actually asking me out! I can feel my face getting warm so I hang my head in hopes he wont notice. I fall into a daze as I question if I'm actually awake.
Bakugo: "Well?! I don't have all night." though he was trying to sound angry, he seemed nervous waiting for my answer. "Don't make me lose." He says.
Oh. Thats why he seems nervous. That's the only reason he cares. He just wants to win the game... For a split second I consider telling him 'no' and be done with it. Maybe this is a bad idea and this will push me to get rid of this silly crush. Why would he like me anyways? It's not like we're that close or anything. I look back up at him, prepared to reject his fake date offer. Instead, we make eye contact, and suddenly I'm not so afraid to get hurt.
"Y-yes Bakugo, I would love to go on a date with you." I say as nonchalantly as I could, my reply making most of the girls say "OOooO!". 'Why couldnt I have just said no?' I guess I have nothing to lose anyways.
Bakugo: "I'll come get you at noon then" He says with a smirk.
The rest of the game carried on mostly uneventful other than Mineta throwing up. Only because he dared Tsuyu to take off her clothes thus resulting in her and the other girls beating him up while Iida fussed at them for being violent in the dormitory.
