"What happened in class shitty hair?" Katsuki's voice was quiet. Kirishima grinned, grabbing his bag, pulling out notes from the day. He got up, sitting next to Katsuki and started going over them. The pair had to stop often so that Katsuki could cough until he was about to pass out before he returned to studying.
Ochako woke up a bit later, looking around for Katsuki. She frowned when he wasn't in the room. The frown got replaced by a smile when she noticed his blanket pulled up around her. She yawned, pulling her hair down from the bun and brushing through it before she decided to go get some food and a new water bottle. She changed her shirt into a plain white tee and then a black cardigan over it before she stepped out of her room. Ashido was also leaving her room at the same time, to join the girls downstairs.
"Uraraka!" The pink woman called. Uraraka turned to her and smiled. "Hi Ashido." The brunette was careful to keep her volume down because her head hurt and she was still a bit dizzy. The pinkette grinned at her, hooking her arm through the brunette's before dragging her downstairs. Bombarding her with questions.
"How do you feel? Bakugou got sick too huh? Are you guys dating? I wonder what your kids will look like. Have you kissed him yet? I bet he's a great kisser. Too bad he's all explosive." She continued talking until Uraraka got even more dizzy than she had been. She held onto Ashido as they continued to the elevator. They heard a door close and two distinct laughs come from the male side of the building. Uraraka looked up to Bakugou and Kirishima laughing together. The action made Ochako blush hard, seeing him so handsome and so happy. She blushed and turned to Ashido.
"Like crap honestly. It feels worse and worse by the hour." Ochako replied to her, ignoring the other questions. Ashido was full of energy. " I can't believe you got sick!" She continued pushing different topics till the boys met them at the elevator.
"Uraraka! How's it going?" Kirishima laughed to the small girl. She smiled and then scrunched her nose. "It's going I guess, how are you Kirishima?" She moved from Ashido in between the two men.
"I'm alright, how're you feeling? Any better?" She sighed and shook her head. "Worse actually, I feel like actual trash." She groaned and then turned to Katsuki, who she was closest to.
"How're you feeling?" He looked down at her and shrugged. "I'm coughing but otherwise fine." She sighed. "Lucky you." She shot him fake daggers, he chuckled. The four of them stepped into the elevator, uraraka pulled out her phone and nudged Katsuki.
Angel Face- Would you be mad if I called you Bakugou downstairs? I don't want everyone to bombard us….
Katsuki looked at his phone, a small sense of happiness that he could use her first name in private but at the same time he didn't give a shit who knew about how close they had gotten.
Lord Explosion- That's fine pink cheeks.
Uraraka smiled up at him and Katsuki felt his chest tighten and he softened his look at her. The other two started yelling about something, pulling their attention to their classmates. Uraraka laughed at Kirishima and Ashido's faces. They two were arguing over whether or not to stop at the other floors and grab more people or let them wait. Uraraka solved the issue, stopping at the other 3 floors. They went to the 5th floor, grabbing Sero and Todoroki, they stopped at the 3rd floor. The elevator became filled with everyone going down to the lobby for dinner. Ashido, Kirishima, Bakugou, Uraraka, Sero, Todoroki, Kaminari, Iida, Midoriya and Yaoyorozu stuffed into the elevator. The teens were on top of each other, Ochako's back, pressed against Katsuki's chest. His body was pressed into the back corner. He lifted his left hand and wrapped it around Uraraka's waist. She smiled and then frowned, maneuvering her body so her body was facing Katsuki's. He looked down at her confused until she dipped her head, low to her body and started coughing. He put a hand on her head as a way to comfort her. Momentarily forgetting where the pair were she had her arm covering her mouth and the other reached up to Katsuki's waist. Katsuki didn't forget though and his face was flushed red. He held her up while she coughed until she stopped. She pushed herself into Katsuki who rubbed her back. She closed her eyes, taking a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. Katsuki was glaring at the kids around him as he tried to comfort the gravity hero.
"Holy shit." Kaminari started, Uraraka jumped away from Katsuki and then blushed hard. "When you said you had a cough, I didn't expect that." Yaoyorozu said, her eyes wide at the pair. Iida rushed over to Uraraka and started asking if she was okay, if she needed anything. Midoriya joined, asking her questions. She looked up at Bakugou panic written on her face.
"Listen ya damn idiots. She's fine, let her be sick and stay the fuck away from her." He growled to the group in the elevator. She gave a half smile. "I really am okay, I took more medicine and I am gonna have some soup." She appeased the group. She looked up at Katsuki, she gave a full smile and lowered her head again to cough. Katsuki repeated what he did, rubbing her back. Izuku was glaring at the his hand. Katsuki noticed, chose to ignore it, looking for Kirishima. He found him making a stupid face and wiggling his eyebrows at him. Katsuki let out a bark of laughter. Uraraka looked up at him, wiping her mouth with her sleeve. Everyone was still looking at them.
"If you damn extras keep looking at me I will kill you." His voice was dripping with annoyance and malice, if looks could kill he might have killed them each at least twice with spoons. Everyone shrugged. "How come you're not dying?" The gravity hero asked with a laugh, a tinge of jealousy in her own voice.
"Cause I probably sweat a bunch of that shit out. You've been an ice cube." Katsuki replied as the elevator doors opened. Everyone piled out- Kirishima and Bakugou last.
"You might as well have just outed yourself in front of the whole class." The redhead snickered. Bakugou groaned, rubbing his head again. "She needed me though." He whispered. "C'mon Bakugou, let's get some food." His spiky haired friend patted his back and they went to the common area. Ochako was surrendered by the girls of 3-A, she looked panicked and was blushing.
"Guys! Come on! He doesn't! He's just being nice!" She argued, everyone talked over her, she sighed and hung her head before she started coughing again. Katsuki watched her closely as Asui stepped up and held her, rubbing her back while she hacked up what sounded like a lung. Katsuki tensed until he heard her calm down. He rubbed his head again, stressing over her well being was troubling to him. He typically didn't pay much attention to anyone, even the petite gravity hero, but here he was, caring and shit.
"You've got it bad." Kirishima elbowed him. "Shut your damn mouth shitty hair." Katsuki's face was a bright red. Kirishima laughed gently and threw his arm around his friend.
"Come on, let's go get some food." Kirishima laughed to him, walking to the kitchen. Bakugou pulled open the fridge and groaned.
"I want something spicy." Kirishima looked up and sighed. "Wanna go get something?" Katsuki nodded.
"Sure." The blonde shrugged. "We're going out, anyone want anything?" Kirishima yelled to the dorm. A few people offered to tag along which Bakugou minded but not enough to speak out. He may not feel as sick but he doesn't feel great either. The group that left ended up being Bakugou, Kirishima, Kaminari, Jiro, Yaoyorozu, Todoroki, Tokoyami, Ashido and Hagakure. Katsuki sighed, and went to slip his arm but felt a tug on his shirt. He turned to see a bright cheek Uraraka.
"Put on a jacket." She chided softly. He smirked and put a hand on her head. "Eat and sleep pink cheeks." She smiled at him and she left him alone. His chest tightened. He left his shoes at the door and went upstairs to grab a sweatshirt. He opened his door and ruffled to find a black zip up. He pulled a tight one over his broad shoulders, and zipped it up over his frame. He went back down, taking the stairs and slipped his shoes on, waiting for the large group.
"Who cares Uraraka! Go with us!" Ashido and Hagakure were tugging on Ochako's arm, begging her to join them. She had been shoveling soup into her mouth as they begged and pleaded. "Fine! Fine!" Ochako yelled. She sighed and walked to the elevator. She rode up to the fourth floor and went to her room. She pulled her locks out from the bun on her head and then pulled it back into a ponytail. She started ruffling through her closet. She slipped on a heavy maroon coat, wrapping a scarf around her face and neck. She pulled her hair out from under it and walked back out of her room. Riding the elevator back down, she knew sticking to Katsuki would make sure she was taken care of but at the same time- she wanted to see the girls. Plus she didn't feel horrible. It was that damn cough. She coughed into her elbow again before looking up to Katsuki who looked annoyed.
"Sleep." He ordered. She shook her head. "Dammit woman! You're gonna get more sick!" He yelled. The group turned to them and a few chorused agreements with Katsuki.
"But I wanna go…." She mumbled. "Bed! Now!" He yelled again. She groaned and flipped him off going back to her room. Uraraka knew he was right, she knew she should stay home and sleep. On the other hand, he shouldn't worry about her, he shouldn't care.
'He does care though… He's made it clear.' She said to herself. She swung open the door and kicked it shut with her foot. She shrugged out of her jacket and heard a knock at the door. She swung it open, huffing in air as she did. The taller blonde male came into her room and wrapped his arms around her, kicking her door closed.
"Shut up with the attitude and get better Ochako." He whispered. She was stunned for a moment before she wrapped her arms weakly around his waist. "They asked me to go though." She pouted lamely. He chuckled softly and pulled his arms away slightly, Ochako tightened her hold against him. Crimson eyes widened at her action, he untensed his body and hugged her a bit tighter.
"I don't like that you got sick after me and are better before me." She said sullenly. He chuckled again, a little louder this time. "Get some sleep." She nodded against his chest and then pulled away. Katsuki smiled at her and then strode out of her room. She watched him leave and felt her chest ache.
"You're so bad for me but you're all I want." She touched her chest, feeling her heartbeat going haywire. She closed her door and finished stripped her clothing and sports bra- she grabbed an oversized shirt and pulled it over her frame. The short sleeves stopped at her elbows and the shirt pooled at mid thigh. She pulled her hair down and brushed through it before she fell into bed. She flipped to her side, cuddling in Katsuki's blanket, her bedroom smelled like him and it was intoxicating.
"Stupid him for being so handsome. He's such a jerk, smelling good and making me want to hold him till I…I well….Till I fall asleep in his arms..." She was just talking out loud but it felt good to say it. To feel the words coming out of her mouth. "I like Bakugou Katsuki…." Her fingers ghosted her lips. She said it… Outloud… It was true. She felt tears well up in her eyes and tried to blink them away. She started crying and she couldn't stop. She was crying because there was no way he would be with her. He had so much potential to be so much more than she was and she was okay with being average. She just wanted money for her parents and along the way that changed to some sort of personal satisfaction to be a hero and be a better person. She silently sobbed, coughing too until she fell asleep. She was wrapped in warmth and the smell of cinnamon and bourbon.
