"Hey man, you feelin' alright?"

Eijiro's voice rang in Katsuki's ears. As the blonde turned to face his best friend, he noticed that he had placed one hand on his desk, looking down at him. All of their classmates were packing their things to leave.

"None of your business, Dumb Hair," he replied in his usual gruff tone.

Eijiro tilted his head to the side a little, shifting his weight from his right foot to his left. "You look out of it today. Just thought you might want to talk."

"Well, I don't. Now scram, will ya?"

The red-headed boy took the hint. He nodded a quick goodbye, flashy his signature toothy grin and exited the classroom.

The truth was, Katsuki had been acting distant lately. Even he wasn't sure why, but it bothered him that his friend had noticed. He had never meant for anyone to find out what he had been so focused on recently.

He couldn't quite remember when all of it had started, but for some strange reason, he couldn't get someone out of his head - or, in this case, his line of sight. That someone happened to be his classmate, Ochaco.

Since she was friends with Izuku, the green-haired boy that Katsuki loved to bully, she'd stood out to him from the start. But, over time - especially after the annual UA Sports Festival - she began to invade his mind more and more until he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. She'd be laughing with her friends in class or on lunch breaks, and he'd be a few yards away, his crimson orbs glued to her smiling face. The strangest thing about it was that he would sometimes start to smile himself, even though he couldn't hear what they where saying that would make Ochaco giggle. When she was happy, he was happy, and he couldn't figure out the reason for it.

Katsuki was watching her now as he stood up from his seat, lazily slinging his backpack over his muscular shoulder. She was laughing again. Either Izuku or Tenya must have made a pretty funny joke, because she was covering her mouth and her head was tilted backwards in genuine amusement. Did that girl ever stop smiling?

He averted his gaze from her as he shuffled toward the door. As he was making his way down the hallway, he heard light footsteps getting slightly louder in his ears. He stopped, turning to greet the sound with a grunt and an unamused expression, only to be met with the rosy cheeks and shiny smile he'd been studying so meticulously during class. The only thing different about this time was that Ochaco's chocolate-brown eyes were focused on him instead of somebody else.

"Hi, Bakugo!"

His stomach turned in knots, just like it did when she giggled, but his expression remained unchanged as he tried to continue to look unbothered by her presence.

"What do you want, Angel-Face?" He gave her a stare, but tore his eyes away just as he began to feel blood rush to his face.

"Just saying hello. Hey, do you wanna sit with us at lunch for a change?" she asked, her smile unchanging.

Katsuki was taken aback by the abrupt question. "And why would I sit with you?"

It didn't take her long to think of an answer. "I just thought you looked lonely at lunch yesterday, seeing as you were sitting all by yourself."

This girl is full of surprises, thought Katsuki. "You're friends with Deku," he pointed out, becoming more annoyed at the thought of sitting with his rival.

"Yeah, I am. But as long as nobody gets hurt, you won't have to sit alone."

He could have just gone and sat with Eijiro and the rest of their gang. He didn't have to be by himself. He could easily reject her kind gesture and think nothing of it. However, he found himself unable to decline. He liked the idea of having an excuse to get to know Ochaco.

So Katsuki told her, "Fine. It's a deal."
