Unknown title chapter 1 - I wasn't expecting to find him on Tinder

*Ochako Uraraka graduated from UA high school about 4 years ago. Her only goal was to be a great hero so she can make lots of money to help her family live a comfortable life. So when school ended she did just that. She became a pro hero a year after graduation. First she did the sidekick thing with Ryuruk and then the second she had the chance to become a pro she did. However that choice lead her to leave the home she knew for so long. Her hometown is small. So there's not that much crime that goes on, but it still has some. So she made the decision to leave the life she knew, and return to the life she once had before she started high school. She went back to her home town and become one of the very few heroes there, where she also helped with her families business. It wasn't much but it made her happy. But was she really happy?*

Sure I got up every day and did work at my parents construction job then every after noon I went and did hero work. Nothing exciting and big though. It paid well so that's all that I thought mattered. I would watch tv at night and the news would constantly portray big bad villains in the main city. I would see my old friends from time to time being talked about or interviewed. I would always sigh a little sigh that it wasn't me out there. I was not out there making a difference. It stung from time to time. But I was doing what I could to help and that's all I really wanted to do, right?

When I left the city to return home I left friends, relationships, everything. Well I never tried to fully have a relationship with Deku no matter how much I wanted it. I knew my own goals would get in the way of his. We talked about it several times. And usually once a year one of us gets a little too drunk and brings up the past about why we never were. And in the end, it just came out that we just weren't meant to be. Our goals weren't the same. Our lives weren't compatible. I often felt pretty lonely. But thankfully a little app on my phone could help with that just a tad.

Mina an overly hyper, loving sometimes obnoxious best friend suggested one day via text that I should download Tinder. Why? So I could get laid of course. Finding new relationships wasn't all that easy when you knew most of the people in town already. But from time to time when I needed a little company I would open the app and find something more like someone to do. The hardest part tho was all of my pictures and everything was always a disguise. I couldn't have anyone knowing that Uravity wanted to get laid from time to time. So I invested in several good quality wigs, Added some thicker rimmed glasses that held no prescription to hide the little pink spots on my cheeks that made me stand out. No one ever knew any different. And thanks to being a pro hero I do have access to people that make good support items for me. So the biggest disguise I use most of all is not ever seen. I had these little pads made for my fingertips. It allows me to be able to use all 5 fingers without setting off my quirk. I peel them off the paper, stick them on my fingertips and they stay there till I peel them off and toss them in the trash. It's been a good little thing I have going on here.

However one afternoon I got a very surprising phone call. I was out on patrols when my phone started ringing. I stopped in my tracks when the name popped up. A name I haven't seen on my phone in a LONG TIME. Why would he be calling me? I stared at it for a minute. OH NO what if something happened to Deku?! Why else would he be calling me? I started to panic a little bit, but before I could shut down in fear I decided to answer the phone.

"Hello?" I said with a slight shake in my voice

"YOUNG URARAKA! HOW HAVE YOU BEEN" bellowed into the phone

"I'm fine. Uh, All Might? Is everything ok? Is Deku OK?" The panic can be heard clearly

"WHAT? OH NO EVERYTHING IS FINE *COUGH BLAHHHH* Suddenly the voice on the other end of the phone had changed, but I knew the man was still the same
" No, no everything is perfectly fine. I'm actually calling to talk to you about something. Ya see. We have a teaching position open, and I well, alot of us talked about it and we want to offer you the position. You have shown us in the past you have done so well with teaching and helping and getting people to follow orders. We thought maybe you would like a change of pace."
"Oh, um, wow. That was completely unexpected. I don't know, I'm doing well over here and helping my parents and things. I just don't know. Can I have time to think about it and discuss it all?" I ask
"Of Course you can! How about you come to the city, we can show you everything we have to offer you. We can discuss pay, living arrangements, and all of that" The husky voice added
"Ya know what, I can do that. I can come check it out. It would be nice to see the campus and see some of my friends too"
"Great, I will get a train ticket set up for you. Does this weekend work?"
"Yeah, this weekend is perfect!"

The call ends, and I immediately text my friends to tell them all about it. Everyone is super excited to see me. It's been so long. The train ride is about 3 hours so we only see each other about twice a year. Mina comes every couple months tho. It's been less since she has a boyfriend now. She's been very secretive about who it is, but I don't pry. I am very happy for my friend. Mina will tell me when she wants to.

Ive told my parents about the teaching invitation. Of course they want me to pursue it. They love my help but they know it's not what I really want to be doing. In fact they almost called All Might back and accepted the position for me. But I fought them little and they backed down. Told me they would be behind me whatever I chose to do, but to not let them hold me back because I feel obligated. They can take care of themselves.

I hopped on the train at 9am. I spent all last evening packing. It was warm out so a couple dresses, some shorts, a couple pairs of shoes, and a nice hat. But a pair of jeans and a black hoodie just incase it was cold. Thankfully all of it fit in my old gym bag from high school. I haven't used this since I left. The train was pretty empty so I didn't bother to put my bag in the compartment. I just kept it In the seat beside me. I stared at it remembering how I used to carry this bag almost every day. Now, I don't even have a gym bag. The hero agency has a gym in the building so I change and everything in the locker room plus they have their own laundry service so I just use that. I smile and remember good memories, always tucking away the bad ones.

xXx

The tour of the campus I used to attend is over. So many details given to me. I explored parts I never did as a kid. I saw teachers lounges, and sleeping areas. I saw the food they were served. We discussed pay. The pay was mind blowing. It was far better than what I was making at home. Plus all of my living arrangements were going to be free so I would be able to save so much money. I'd be able to send so much home to my parents to make them comfortable. This this was going to be a tough decision. But honestly I knew I already made my choice before I even stepped foot on campus this morning.

That evening I had plans with the girls. I was going to meet up with them in about 2 hours. They were going out to eat, then maybe to a bar. I was so excited that I finished getting ready about an hour earlier then I needed to. So while mindlessly scrolling through my phone I decided to open up Tinder and see what the city has to offer. I'm looking at everyones pictures, reading their ridiculous profiles, but still swiping left over and over again. Occasionally rolling my eyes at a familiar perverted face. I then comes across a profile and freeze. I recognize this person. But at the same time he looks so different. Something fluttered in my stomach. No way. NO FREAKING WAY. I cannot find myself to swipe any direction. I just laid the phone down and grabbed my stomach and just let out a huge laugh. I'm not laughing because of the fact that I knew the person on Tinder. Hell I've come up on what seemed to be 3 different profiles of Mineta. That perv. But I'm laughing at WHO it is. Of all places, and of all people I NEVER would've guessed I would find Katsuki Bakugo on Tinder!

I had spent alot of time getting to know all of my classmates over the 4 years we were together during high school. I figured alot of things out. I knew that Bakugo didn't like people, had zero interest in girls (or anyone) and would've blown you up for even thinking that he was typical male with typical male hormones and needs/desires. But here he is on Tinder. The app that seeks out other people for sexual things. This would be the last place on earth I would've expected to find him, but I guess you can't fight hormones forever. I chuckled to myself. I turned my phone on again. I started looking at the pictures on the profile. Most of the pictures seemed to be ones taken of him, not ones he's taken of himself. There were shirtless gym photos, and a picture of him eating out and one had a very distinctive lock of red hair still in the frame… He must still hang out with Kirishima.

I studied the pictures a little too hard. I noticed he had gotten a haircut. He now shaved the sides of his head and kept it shorter than before but still long on top. He had more scars than he used to. And he seemed to have gained quite a bit of muscle. Definitely a good look for him. My mind started wandering. He had always been attractive but this this was a whole new level. While staring at a shirtless picture of an old classmate a text message popped up. And when I went to swipe it off her screen I ended up accidentally swiping right on Bakugo! Eyes widened, I dropped the phone, it was like panic set in "SHIT" I found myself saying out loud. I didn't mean to. I wasn't there to meet with anyone other than my friends. And here I am swiping right on my old classmates photo. OH EM GOSH what am I going to do, but thankfully before I can fully panic I gets another texts saying the girls are on their way and they can head to the restaurant for dinner.

When everyone arrives at the restaurant I pretty much forget about the incident. It was an accident. And it really didn't matter. I was only in town till tomorrow evening. I could just ignore it, besides… my profile didn't exactly show Ochako Uraraka. No it showed a nice girl named Miu. Usually I had black hair, and thick rimmed glasses. No way anyone could know that it's me.

As the evening went on not a single thought was given to what had happened in my room. I laughed with my friends that I had missed. I smiled so much my face hurt, I cried from laughter and from missing the old days. I was happy. I missed these girls so much, and every time we are together I really remember how much. We talked about everything. I was sad to see them leave at the end of the night. But this was the best time I had had in a long time. I knew it was time to be leaving soon to head back. But it wasn't going to be for long. This evening was the final piece that made the decision that I was going to come work for UA. I needed to be back in the city. I wanted to help. It may not be doing hero work per say, but I was going to help kids become amazing heroes!

After a month of getting all the preparations ready I had packed what little things I had from my house from house, that I lived in with my parents. I didn't have too much stuff. I loaded up my little car with my belongings and was ready to head out. I ended up leaving alot later in the after noon then I wanted to. I had my drink in hand, my keys, my bags and my phone. As soon as I sat my butt in the seat of my car a little message bubble popped up and I froze.
