Izuku Midorya said goodbye to his mother as he walked out the door, the early afternoon sun shining in the cloudless blue sky. Taking a deep breath, he smiled out at the city below me and started to walk down the stairs of his apartment building and towards the train station. The city was completely awake, the sidewalks and streets filled with people and cars, respectively.
After a 30 minute train ride, Izuku got off at the Kamino mall center, alive with all types of people. He starts looking around for a boy with blonde hair.
"Hey, you're late Deku!" Katsuki Bakugo said behind Izuku, punching him in the arm. Izuku held back a scream in surprise and rubbed his arm, looking up at his childhood friend.
Bakugo looked like a stereotypical delinquent, his bright blonde hair and sharp eyes added by his almost mean looking smirk. While he could certain act like a delinquent, his mom thought so, Bakugo was one of the most honest and caring people Izuku knew. One just had to look past his very blunt and violent wordings to get that.
"S-sorry Kacchan, the trains were running late!" Izuku said, smiling nervously at the blonde boy.
Bakugo shrugs and starts walking towards the entrance. "Well hurry up will you? The sun is killing my eyes." Izuku wordlessly followed behind.
The pair walked around wordless, heading from store to store to pick up their school supplies, saying very words besides for Bakugo asking Izuku if something was on the list that he couldn't remember. A few groups of girls looked at Bakugo, either not noticing or not caring to see the skinny Izuku next to him.
After finishing their shopping, the two decided to go to a coffee shop for a light lunch. After placing their orders they sat outside under a umbrella'd table. A girl, who has been watching Bakugo for a few stores, decides to walk up to him and try and ask him out.
"Hello there handsome, what's your name?" the girl says, trying her best to sound attractive.
Bakugo didn't even look at her, simply taking a drink of his coffee. "I like dicks, chick. Now buzz off." He stated bluntly, missing the shocked and sadden look on the girl's face as she walked away.
Midoriya chuckled at the short display. Even if it happened at least once every time they went somewhere, it never ceased to make Izuku laugh at the looks on the girl's faces. "You know, Kacchan, you're gonna have to be careful who you say that to at UA. Don't need to make enemies on our first day."
"As if I give a fuck what over think, I can handle anyone giving me shit." He glanced over, his expression soften just a tiny bit before he sighed. "Fine I'll tone it down, but only because I don't need your weak body getting bullied, Deku." He used Izuku's nickname, showing that he wasn't very happy about having to hold his blunt side back a bit.
Izuku looked down at the ground, wordlessly drinking his coffee. He felt bad about holding Bakugo from being…well Bakugo, but he didn't want a repeat of middle school. "Hey, Katsuki, do you think I can…join you when you go to the gym?"
Bakugo, who was drinking his coffee when Izuku asked the question, choked on his drink, nearly spitting it out. After regaining his breath, Bakugo turned his head to look at the green haired boy. Never, in the 3 years since he stared to work out regularly, had Izuku asked to join him. Curious, he leaned back into the chair. "Oh? And why is that Deku? Tired of being a Deku?"
Flinching a bit from hearing the slightly demeaning nickname twice, Izuku nodded. "I-I want to stop being so easy to p-push around. I want to get stronger, so you don't have to constantly watch over me."
Bakugo slowly nods his head, mulling over Izuku's words in his head. "Fine, you can join me, but be warned, I'm going to make you want to die after each session. Deal?"
"D-Deal!" Izuku said, looking up again and giving Bakugo a smile. "Thanks Katsuki!"
Bakugo groans, "Don't get all weird on me, Izuku. No full hugs. Maybe, a one arm slap on the back, at most."
"Ok, sounds good to me." Izuku replies, his lips refusing to go down from his smile.
After finishing their drinks, the two got up and started to head back inside.
Unknown to them, a girl with chestnut brown hair and rosy cheeks was looking behind her, her hot coffee in her hands. She ran into Izuku, her hot coffee spilling over his front.
"GAAAAH HOT HOT HOT!!!" Izuku yelled, trying his best to try and not cry from the pain.
The brown haired girl gasped, "I-Im so s-sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going!"
Bakugo quickly ran over and got a handful of napkins, running back to try and soak up as much of the hot coffee off his friend's shirt. "Are you ok, Deku?" As he did this, he glared at the girl. "What the fuck is your malfunction?!?! You should watch where you're fucking walking, round face!"
The girl's rosy cheeks flared up in anger at his words. "Round face?!?! I said I was sorry!"
Before Bakugo could reply, Izuku held his hand up, his eyes red from unshed tears of pain. "Kacchan, it was an accident, no need to bite her head off." He looks at the girl, his face bright red. "I-I-I'm s-s-s-sorry I-I-I m-m-made y-y-you s-s-s-spill y-your c-c-coffee. I-I-I'll buy y-y-you a-another one."
Bakugo can't help but shake his head at his friend. Even with her being in the wrong and him being in pain, the idiot still offers to buys the girl a new coffee. 'And that damn stutter, we really need to work on your confidence around girls, man.'
The girl, surprised at the small boy's words, feels her cheeks heat up into a blush. "N-N-No you don't have to! It was my fault, you don't need to buy a coffee for me!" 'What's with this boy? I hurt him yet all he's worried about is my coffee?"
"I-I-I i-i-insist m-miss…." Izuku paused, realizing he didn't know this girl's name.
"O-Ochanko Uraraka, and it's no problem Deku, I can buy myself another one." Uraraka said, knowing why he trailed off at the end.
"U-Uraraka h-huh? That's a very pretty n-name." Izuku said without thinking, the coffee on his shirt mostly cooled off. As he realized what he said, he felt his face heat up like an entire pot of hot coffee got spilled onto it. Uraraka stood there, her face equally as hot from his comment.
Bakugo just looked between the two of them, believing his ears to be lying to him. Not only had the girl said Izuku's nickname, the idiot had also commented on the girl's name. 'Jesus christ, these two are going to be a handful.' He sighs and snaps the two out of their blushing. "Ok, we get it you two. Now, Izuku, we need to get you home and see if you're burned from the coffee. Round Face, mind giving him your number so he can repay you for the coffee?" He steps closer to Uraraka and whispers. "He won't stop feeling bad if he doesn't pay you back for the coffee, trust me."
Uraraka and Izuku blushes equally as hard as each other. Nodding, she got a napkin and a pen and wrote down her number. Her hand shaking, she handed it to Izuku, who , with an even shakier hand, took it. "T-Thank Y-Y-You U-U-Uraraka."
"Alright you two, break it up before I vomit." Bakugo grabbed Izuku by the arm and started dragging him away. Izuku glanced back at Uraraka once, before turning his head back around. The brown haired girl looked away, her heart feeling unusually light after the interaction. Suddenly she grabbed her cheeks and screamed internally. 'I JUST GAVE MY NUMBER TO A BOY!!!'
