Hey guys, sorry its been so long! Been pretty busy but this story is about to come to a close soon. Maybe one or two more chapters after this!


Everyone's voices sounded like nothing but buzzing in Uraraka's ears as she played around with the rice in her bowl.

"Meet me on the roof tomorrow night. 8 o' clock. Wear something nice."

Bakugo's voice rang through her head as she wondered what would happen during their meeting tonight. She didn't know whether to be excited or nervous, and a small feeling of insecurity gnawed at her because he still hadn't answered her when she asked him if he liked her. There's no way he didn't, the way Bakugo was, he would surely let her know if he wasn't interested. But still...

She sighed as she shoved a bit of rice in her mouth, eyeing the beef and broccoli that sat untouched in a saucer on the corner of her tray. Usually she'd demolish the yummy side dish but her stomach was so full of butterflies today that she just couldn't eat.

"Ochako? Are you alright?"

Momo's voice made her jump slightly, and she looked up to see everyone staring at her. They looked concerned, all except for Tsuyu who had on her usual, unreadable expression. Embarrassed, Uraraka scratched the back of her head and laughed awkwardly,

"Y-yeah guys I'm fine! I'm good." she said unconvincingly. Momo raised her eyebrow and slightly shook her head,

"Tsk, you're not very good at lying, Ochako-san."

"Yeah..." another voice chimed in, and Mina's head popped into view. The pink tinted girl took a small sip from her iced latte and then smiled knowingly at Ochako,

"Something's up. You and lover boy over there..." she said, pausing to jerk her head in Bakugo's direction, "Haven't been sneaking off to wherever it is you guys go during lunch."

The gravity manipulator fidgeted in her seat. She had hoped her friends wouldn't ask her about Bakugo, but she should've know better. Especially with Mina.

"So..." she continued, a teasing smirk creeping its way onto her face, "When are you gonna give us all the details about what you and explodo-boy have been up to?"

Cries of "Mina!" echoed around the table and Jiro gave her a playful shove. Cackling, the alien girl held her hands up in defense

"Whaaaaat? I was just asking. Don't pretend like you guys aren't curious too!" she said, causing more indignant cries to rise from their peers. While they were busy scolding Mina, Ochako felt her eyes slide over to the boys table. Deku and lida where having a good laugh about something, and Todoroki sat in front of them smiling. Her eyes glided over until she finally saw a head of unruly red hair bobbing around. Where there was Kirishima, there was...

He looked up the exact moment she spotted him, but not to look at her, instead he barked at Kirishima for something which only caused his friend to laugh. She could practically see a vein twitching as he bared his teeth in anger at not being taken seriously. Most of their classmates had figured out he was more bark than bite at this point and he could rarely scare them like he used to. He really wasn't as vicious as he seemed, something Uraraka found out on one of their daily roof hang outs.


"Bakugo?"

He turned and looked at her, crimson eyes both attentive and curious.

"Why are you always so mad?" Ochako asked, laying down and staring up at the blue sky before them. He laid down next to her, closer than she expected him to, and she was hit the the smell of peppermint and aftershave. The aftershave was expected, but the peppermint? She had to stop herself from giggling right then and there. A moment of silence passed before he finally answered her,

"I'm not always angry. Am I pissier than most? Yes. But that doesn't mean I spend every waking moment being mad. I just get ticked off quickly, that's all." he says, moving his arms up and resting them behind his head. She took a moment to process his answer, and decided it was acceptable before she cautiously proceeded with her next question,

"Does...does Deku tick you off quickly?" she asks quietly, internally flinching and hoping she hadn't messed up. She knew it was likely to set him off but she just had to know the reason behind his hate for the feeble green haired boy. Bakugo sighed and another moment passed before he replied,

"Yes, but only because I view him as a rival. And...it's just that no matter what, despite everything that's happened with us, he still finds it in him to treat me like I've never done him wrong. And I hate it."

Ochako looked at him now, watching as he purposefully avoided her gaze by staring up at the clouds.

"Why do you hate it?"

"Because he should hate me. It doesn't make any sense that he doesn't."

She rolled over onto her stomach and gently flopped onto Bakugo's chest, enjoying how he turned pink because of her actions.

"Believe it or not Bakugo, there's alot of us that care about your well being. We're not trying to baby you or make you feel weak. We're all classmates, and though we're all fighting to be pro heroes, we still care about each other. Deku cares about you. I care about you."

Ochako felt blood rush to her own face as her final words replayed in her head. She was just telling the truth but...there was more truth behind that than he knew. He covered his red face and scowled, peeking at her from between his fingers.

"OK Uraraka I get it, you care." he said, before moving his hands away and making eye contact with her. "I..."

He closed his eyes shut and let out a breath before finishing,

"I care about you too."

Before she could respond, a cough startled them both and they jumped up, only to see Mr. Aizawa standing a few feet away from them. His bloodshot eyes held no expression, he only stood with his arms crossed for a few moments before finally speaking,

"As cute as this is," he began, causing the pair to blush and look down, "You two keep missing the start of class because you're so caught up in each others eyes up here."

The teens turned fire-engine red, and they opened their mouth to give an excuse only for Mr. Aizawa to hold his hand up.

"Don't wanna hear it. Just get to class, and stop coming up here." he said, before turning around to leave.

His words sent a wave of sadness through Ochako, who had become used to the routine of grabbing lunch and heading up to the roof, insides giddy at the thought of being with Bakugo. Now she couldn't come up here at all. Before she could stop herself, her feelings came to the forefront and a disappointed groan escaped her lips.

Aizawa stopped in his tracks and Ochako's eyes widened, desperately hoping he wouldn't give them a punishment for her voiced dissatisfaction. He turned and side-eyed them, looking like he was deep in thought, before saying something that made a smile come to Ochako's face.

"Atleast...don't come up here when classes are in session."


The roof...

Ochako thought, and her slight panic about tonight set in once again. What was she gonna wear?! What was she gonna do with her hair?! What was she gonna say?! She looked over at him once again, only to make direct eye contact. He had finished his lunch and was sitting back in his chair with his arms behind his head, which caused his shirt to lift up slightly. She caught a glimpse of his belly button and her face became flushed as she recalled the kisses she planted there days before.

Will he bring that up?

She wondered, and looked back at his face after realizing she had been staring at his stomach for too long. Half his face was obscured by his spiky hair, but she could clearly she the mischievous look in his eyes.

He caught her staring.

Licking his lips, he shot her a devilish grin and stretched his arms up further, lifting his shirt even more and causing Uraraka to cover her face with her hands.

Damn him.

She thought, but couldn't help smiling at how playful he was. This was a side of him only she knew, and she felt so lucky to get to know him on a level others didn't. The sound of the bell ringing almost made her jump out of her skin, and she quickly disposed of her food before making her way to the exit. On her way there, Mina intercepted her and linked arms with her,

"Now before you make a bee line for Baku-boy," she said and slid around to the front of Uraraka, blocking her path, " I just wanna let you knowwww that if you ever need anything- perhaps fashion advice or personal advice or someone to spill all the details of your sexcapades with- I'm here."

Ochako squeaked at the mention of sex and playfully bopped Mina on the head, causing her to squeal,

"JOKING, I'm joking! Sheesh, nobody can take a joke today." she giggles, her previous words echoing through Ochako's head.

"Actually Mina...I think I'll take you up on that fashion advice offer." she says, and almost regrets it when she sees how much the girl's eyes start to light up and sparkle. But she really did need help to make sure she looked great tonight.

"Mina Ashido, fashion extraordinaire, at your service!"
