The days dragged on through the weekend, feeling like everything was flying by in a blur. Ayako found herself constantly missing what people were saying, always having to have everyone repeat themselves. She couldn't get the image of her mother out of her head. Seeing that sight haunted her every night as she tried to sleep, every time she went to open a door…when she walked down the street…she worried it would affect her little sisters, but neither seemed to understand whatever had happened. They were curious as to why they couldn't go home and play with mommy anymore and always asked about their little brother, but Ayako had no answers for them, and the police had no answers for her.

She propped her head up on her desk, completely tuning out the teacher again. If it wasn't for Bakugou beating her studies into her, she would be failing her classes by now. Since coming back to school, Ren and the others bullied her occasionally, though one of the girls who had gone to karaoke with them had apparently had a horrible experience. Go figure. Ayako didn't feel sorry for people like that who choose to do dumb shit and wonder why bad things happened. Ayako wondered about herself; why after helping take care of her siblings, having no life, did she have to bear witness to such a horrific event? Why did she have to burden the Bakugou family and let them take her and her sisters in? She stifled her sigh, knowing full well it would draw attention in the quiet class.

Today was no different at school. Bullying constantly; many times, the guys would shoulder check her in the hallway making her drop all of her stuff, or they would get the other girl, Hiroto's girlfriend, to spread nasty rumors about Ayako. She didn't care though, nothing phased her. She watched the second hand of the clock ticking slower and slower as she anticipated the bell. She just wanted to go home and sleep, no more petty high school crap. She was the first one up the moment the bell rang, b-lining for the door quickly. She made it out alive, so to speak, changing into her casual shoes before heading outside of the school building. She could hear the snickers and whispers behind her from her classmates, but she didn't care. The familiar blond spikey hair jutting out slightly from behind the wall made her heart skip a beat. Bakugou turned and looked her direction, furrowing his brow as he glanced over her shoulder, noticing the boy from the other week.

"So what is that asshole your boyfriend?" Ren called out eyeing Bakugou. "I should pay him back for what he did to me." He yelled out loud enough for Bakugou to hear. Ayako sighed loudly and rolled her eyes as Bakugou got immediately fired up.

"WHAT'S THAT SHIT STICK? WANNA FUCKING TRY ME?"

"Let's just go please…" Ayako whined, but Bakugou was stomping onto the school grounds.

"Dude, he's got a U.A. uniform on…" Hiroto pointed out nervously. The look on Ren's face dropped immediately and Bakugou laughed, making sparks in his hand.

"That's right, don't mess with me or I'll kick your ass worse than last time." Ayako pushed at Bakugou roughly, forcing him to move away from his target.

"C'mon Kacchan, I just want to go home…" He let out what sounded like a growling laugh as his eyes gleamed with hatred at the quirkless boy who was now too scared to step to him. "KACCHAN!" She finally yelled, snagging his attention.

"FINE, FUCK!" He yelled, throwing his hands in his pockets and turning back around. "I don't know why you won't let me have some fun."

"What kind of hero beats quirkless losers up?" She teased, poking his side. He grumbled angrily but didn't argue, thankfully. "What are you doing here anyway?" Another smile plastered his face.

"I'm going to participate in my school's sports festival! It get's live broadcasted all over Japan!" He was like a little kid, all the excitement going straight to his head. Ayako smiled, watching the facial expressions change as he spoke about how much he was looking forward to it. "You can come see me win if you want!" She giggled.

"You're so confident you're going to win. How do you know you will?" He laughed loudly, clenching his fist.

"Because, I'm going to be the number one hero! I have to win!" She smiled happily, thankful for him these last few days, especially now.

"If I have the time I will try to be there!" They laughed and talked some more, Bakugou hell bent on telling her all about the people whose asses he'd kick. He also mentioned Izuku Midoriya and how he now has a quirk. Ayako was really surprised, having known of him the year prior, though she didn't talk to him much. Especially since Bakugou seemed to loathe him, she didn't want to feel awkward between her friends, so she opted to stick to the only one she needed. They made their way slowly back to his house, her legs feeling heavier and heavier as they walked.

"What's up?" He stared down at her as she almost stopped fully on the sidewalk.

"Is this really ok?" She looked up at him, feeling the tears well up in her eyes, threatening to spill over. He let out a loud sigh, putting his hand on her head.

"Don't ask stupid shit you already know the answer to." She felt her lip tremble, not at how he said the sentence, but because she knew how selfless his family was and she knew it was ok. She hated feeling like she was a burden, though. She nodded, fighting back the tears, following him home. Home…his home. They entered the house, the silence of it quite unnerving. Bakugou picked up a note and chuckled. "My parents took the girls out for dinner and the arcade." Ayako smiled at the gesture, thankful for such amazing people in her life. She noticed the money with the note, meaning they got to order take out.

It took a while for the food to get there, so while it was on its way, Ayako took a quick shower. She stepped out of the bathroom, drying her long black hair with the towel. She made her way to Bakugou's room, noticing he wasn't in there yet. He may have been paying for the food. She sat on his bed, staring out the window at where her home once was. The windows were dark, and she could still see police tape surrounding the property. A deep-set frown appeared on her face as she remembered looking at the house this same way a few nights ago…not knowing her mother was dead…or about to die right then. Her body involuntarily shuddered at the thought. She was in such a trance that she didn't even hear Bakugou enter the bedroom with the food. His tight grip on her shoulder made her jump.

"Jeez! Don't sneak up on people!" She gasped, holding her hand to her chest.

"I didn't…I was talking to you." Bakugou stared at her curiously. "What's goin' on with you?" He sat next to her on the bed, glancing out the window as well.

"I can't stop thinking of my mom…what if I could've stopped it? If I had just gone home…" He let out a 'tch' sound and elbowed her.

"Then you'd be dead too idiot." She frowned; the accuracy of the statement truer than she wanted to believe.

"You're always saving me…" She mumbled, nudging him back for the elbow.

"You're worth saving." The statement caught Ayako off-guard as she looked at the now blushing Bakugou in surprise.

"W..what?"

"NOTHING NEVERMIND, LETS EAT GOD DAMNIT!" He growled, dragging her off the bed to sit with him on the floor and eat. She felt the reddening in her cheeks as they sat, trying to be normal. She could feel her heart in her chest, pumping wildly as she thought about what he had just told her. Did that mean he liked her? She glanced over at his now extra serious face, concentrating on the movie in front of them. Or did it just mean he cherished her as a friend? She mentally smacked herself. It was definitely the latter, there was no way he thought of her like that. Hell, did she even think of him like that? She glanced back over at him for a moment, taking him in. His clenched jaw, messy hair, serious eyes…the vein that stuck out of his neck when he was angry…his muscular arms…. she jumped as she caught herself looking and quite frankly enjoying what she was looking at.

He glanced over at her curiously but didn't ask, thankfully. She made it a point to stuff her face and push the thoughts from her head. The last thing she needed was to change their dynamic. It could ruin everything, especially their friendship, and she wasn't ready to do that. At least that's what she thought.

The movie was a horror movie and every time she jumped or yelled out Bakugou chuckled and teased her for being a wimp. He was getting repeatedly smacked, though it never phased him. They got back to relaxing watching the movie after another scary jump, Ayako completely into the movie. A tickling sensation on the back of her neck made her yell out and Bakugou was rolling laughing. He had been messing with her, enjoying making her freaked out.

"Jeez Kacchan, leave me alone you jerk!" She growled, punching him in the arm. He had a wicked grin on his face and grabbed her wrists hard, pulling her to the floor with him. She yelled out, laughing and struggling to get away from his craziness.

"Fuck no, this is too fun." He held her wrists tightly in one hand, pushing them above her head, his other hand tickling her sides. She screamed now, flailing her legs, desperate for him to stop. He finally gave in after many profanities were spewed at him. Both laughing hard, though finally just heavily breathing as they wound down. His eyes caught hers and Ayako felt a jolt of nervousness soar through her body. His smile faded slightly as they stared, his hands still gripping Ayako's wrists tightly above her head. She tilted her head at him confused, a blush spreading across her face.

Bakugou leaned down, his lips taking hers forcefully. She whimpered in surprise, though Bakugou took the sound more as her own enjoyment, using that moment to beg for entrance with his tongue. Ayako's mind clouded as she let him in, their kiss deepening as his spare hand rubbed against her side; his fingers just barely under her shirt. She was at a loss, completely baffled that he had initiated this let alone even wanted anything like this from her. His body pressed closely against hers, the feeling of his warm body making her tingle all over. He's always been the type to pick on her, tickle her, shove her…but never show his affection any other way, and now Ayako had no idea what to do with herself. This was her first kiss and quite truthfully, the first time anyone tried to be this close with her.

Their tongues wrestled aggressively, and Ayako couldn't help as she arched her back slightly, pushing herself into him as she let him dominate her mouth. Bakugou grunted against her lips and Ayako could feel something else between them, mainly between her legs where his hips dug against her. She blushed like crazy, whimpering at the new body part pressed against her. This was so sudden, and she couldn't stop the euphoric feeling of having him like this. His hand that grasped her wrists let go, moving down to prop himself up as his other hand slipped fully up her shirt now, fingers digging aggressively into the skin of her breast. She moaned against his lips as her arms wrapped around his neck, her body shuddering in delight against his aggressive touch.

He spared no time pulling down the bra that blocked his hand, playing roughly with her exposed breast. She could feel the tenderness of her breast as his fingers dug, pinched and pulled, sending her brain to cloud 9 while his hips pushed again against her. Where did this come from with him? Did he always feel like this? Her legs squeezed at Bakugou's hips involuntarily, practically begging all on their own. He growled against her lips, breaking their kiss and leaning up onto his knees. He used both hands, grabbing her shirt and forcefully pulling the straps of the tank top and bra down roughly. She whimpered, turning red as she tried to cover her exposed chest.

"Don't you dare…" He growled, pulling her arms away; his mouth connecting with the skin of one breast while his other hand grabbed aggressively at the other. She cried out as he bit down repeatedly, her hands pulling roughly at his hair.

"Ka…Kacchan…. stop!" She whined, totally embarrassed. He grunted but did not oblige, rolling his tongue against her skin with so much fervor that she nearly fell over the edge of bliss just from that. She gasped, tugging at his hair, but not hard enough to pull him away. She didn't realize the extent to which she craved his touch. It was then the front door slammed and immediately Ayako shoved Bakugou off of her.

"WHAT THE…" He began to yell but heard his mother down the stairs. He blushed, realizing the situation they were in, grabbing a pillow and throwing it over his lap as he sat up, trying his damn hardest to act casual. Ayako also hurriedly to correct herself, unable to correct the embarrassed face as his mother barreled through the door.

"HEY GUYS! Glad you're up, just wanted to make sure you guys ate dinner!" Both nodded quickly. "Good! We're going to bed, don't stay up too late you both have school tomorrow!"

"OKAY ALREADY JEEZ! GO TO BED ALREADY!" Bakugou growled. His mom immediately lunged, smacking him in the head making Ayako laugh.

"Keep taking you little shit!" She growled, grabbing his ear and tugging roughly as he yelled out. "You should learn to respect your parents!" Bakugou scoffed landing himself another smack from his mom. Ayako giggled at the sight, her smile wavering slightly as she immediately began to miss her own mom. She bit her lip, ignoring the dull ache that creeped up on her. His mom finally left them to finish their movie, the air around them a little lighter. He glanced over at Ayako and smirked, making her blush a deep red and smacking him in the arm

"WHY IS EVERYONE HITTING ME?" He growled and Ayako laughed.

"Because, you're you." He rolled his eyes, wrapping his arm around Ayako and pulling her close to him. She was still blushing but couldn't stop the smile that stayed plastered on her face as they finished their movie. She slipped her head into his lap, resting on the pillow as he switched the finished movie to yet another one. They always stayed up late, but Ayako started feel drowsy, especially since Bakugou played with her hair, brushing it lightly out of her face. He was never this sweet, so she planned on taking full advantage as she felt her eyes get heavier and heavier. Before she knew it, she was asleep, cuddled up happily with the guy who always made her feel better, the guy who was always there.


Ayako was thankful that the situation between Bakugou and her only happened once. Too many things had been going on and being anywhere alone together was nearly impossible. She wondered whether that night was also just a spontaneous night because he didn't show any sort of affections like he did that night. He still picked on her and messed with her like usual but gave no indication of anything else. Ayako couldn't help but get distracted, wondering whether even she had feelings for him. She didn't stop him at all, and probably wouldn't have if they had been able to continue.

Was it just a physical attraction that lead them to fool around a little? Was it just because they were comfortable with each other? More and more she began to doubt it was anything more than a fluke. She stepped to the arena, staring up at the place where Bakugou would be doing his sports festival. A nervous pang hit her stomach. To be around so many people with quirks and abilities was fairly intimidating. She frowned slightly at the thought of how she didn't have a quirk. Another thought crossed her mind. What if he was attracted to a girl with one? Someone who could physically level with him? Another hero…she pushed the thought from her mind, rather angry at herself for even worrying about such a thing. He's going to be a hero, the number one hero, he needs a girl who he can be proud of; not some quirkless nobody.

Ayako sighed loudly at the start of the U.A. Sports festival, Bakugou clearly being the arrogant ass he was, declared he was going to win first place. She put her hand to her face and shook her head laughing. He had zero humility. The U.A. sports festival otherwise was incredible. Ayako found herself cheering Bakugou on rather publicly, especially in the first round during the race. She was completely in awe as he pushed hard to win, barely skating through the finisher to come in third place. She giggled to herself as the jumbotron showed him angry as hell that he placed third in the race. That's what you get for your arrogance, she thought shaking her head and smiling. She was amazed at Izuku Midoriya, though, stunned that a boy with no quirks could place first. When did he even develop one? She admired the lineup, all top three competitors seriously strong in their own ways. She was intrigued however, at the second-place winner. His look was so unique, though she could vaguely remember Bakugou mentioning someone by the name of…. half and half? She couldn't really remember though.

The second event was the calvary event and Ayako was pretty sure she hadn't laughed that hard in years. She absolutely enjoyed the anger that Bakugou displayed and the frantic running around that had all of his classmates at odds. It must be nice to have a school where you do these sorts of things rather than just regular academics. She thought about her school's sports events and groaned. They were always a complete drag, though Ayako did excel at track. The rest of it just wasn't her cup of tea. She smiled watching Bakugou and his quirk, leaping through the air and being the usual firecracker that he was. She looked at her watch, realizing it was time to use her VIP pass to head down and say hello.

She made her way to the secured area where the students were, showing her pass to the guards who guided her to the gathering room where the students would be having their lunch and noonday break. She sat nervously on one of the chairs on the far side of the room, watching quietly as students began to trickle in. There were some family members in the break room meeting with their kids or siblings or friends. Ayako fidgeted nervously as she caught a few curious glances her way.

"AYYYAAAAKOOOO!" Kirishima's voice rang out as he ran over to say hello. She giggled, standing up to greet him.

"Hey, Ejiro." A few people stared at her in amazement considering she used his first name and not formally greeted him. Denki popped over saying hello as well and she greeted him the same way.

"I didn't know you were coming!" Ejiro laughed, surprised to see Ayako. Ayako shook her head and sighed, knowing that the main thing on Bakugou's mind was the sports festival. Some of the group of students came over, smiling warmly at Ayako.

"Hi nice to meet you! Are you Kirishima's sister or something?" One of the girls with short orange hair asked.

"Oh no, I'm…" Before Ayako could introduce herself Bakugou came barreling forward.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" She rolled her eyes, shoving him slightly.

"Hiding from you." He growled but plastered a large grin on his face before throwing his arm around her shoulders. She blushed slightly, though the blushes and looks that the other students gave were much more profound.

"This is Ayako, Bakugou's best friend!" Ejiro introduced her since Bakugou was too full of himself or just too disinterested in formalities to do so.

"Oh wow! I didn't know he even had friends!" A tall dark-haired girl with ginormous boobs commented making Ayako laugh. Bakugou growled loudly yelling at the poor girl.

"Oh, hey Ayako-chan!" Midoriya's voice rang through and Ayako could feel Bakugou's grip tighten. She smiled warmly at Midoriya nonetheless.

"Nice to see you again Midoriya!" They all held their small talk for a little while, quite a few of the boys including Bakugou heading off around the break room to eat and talk random crap to each other as they boasted about the up and coming battles.

"So, Ayako-chan…" Ayako heard the voice, but did not see the face attached to it. She looked around confused, only to realize the girl speaking to her was invisible. Her U.A. uniform and gloves really being the only thing Ayako could see. A few other girls hung around her as well, the large chested on and the orange haired one for sure, though the others she didn't really know the names of. "Since you're so close with Bakugou-kun…" Her fingers were pressing together nervously, "I was wondering if you knew what some of his favorites were…" Ayako tilted her head a little confused, glancing around the group.

"We're putting together a little…after school get together and Toru here has a little…thing for Bakugou." The large breasted one stated.

"Momo-chan!" The invisible one, Toru, exclaimed, sounding rather embarrassed. "She um…isn't wrong though…I would like to confess to him if I could." Ayako's heart sank like a sack of potatoes in her chest. She held the warm smile she had on her face though. They were just friends…they never established anything, and this girl had a quirk. She was far superior to Ayako in every way.

"Oh..um…" Ayako placed her hand to her chin. "He really honestly likes anything spicy. If you want something a little more… romantic, you can give him those chili chocolates. He devoured the ones I bought for myself last year." Toru squealed excitedly.

"Oh, thank you so much! I really hope I have the confidence to say anything to him." Ayako faked a laugh, thankfully making it sound convincing. She couldn't stop feeling angry with herself. She hadn't even admitted her own feelings for him and yet this girl clearly knew what she had wanted. She knew she liked Bakugou enough and wanted to make it clear for him. Ayako thought for a bit, glancing over at the maniac talking mad shit to his peers enthusiastically. She held her tongue from any more help, knowing full well that Bakugou was going to be completely oblivious to the girl's feelings if she didn't convey herself clearly. Ayako wondered if he would even accept her feelings.

"Would you like to come with us Ayako? We'd love to get to know you better and find out how in the world you put up with that crazy ass." The large breasted one laughed making Ayako chuckle.

"I could probably go, but I can't promise anything…" She wasn't going to go. Her heart already stung at the thought of Bakugou being with another woman, and now that one was here in front of her ready to confess to him, the reality made her far too uncomfortable.

"HEY AYA!" He growled, stomping over to and grabbing her head. She rolled her eyes and sighed. "EAT WOMAN." He shoved the plate of dumplings into her hands. They were smothered in siracha and she couldn't help but laugh.

"Jeez Kacchan you're so predictable…" Ayako shook her head laughing at the dumbfounded look on his face.

"How?" He grabbed a dumpling, shoving into his mouth whole.

"Nothing…" She chuckled, hearing the giggle out of Toru. Her stomach dropped again. Ayako couldn't even see the girl and yet she was already jealous of her. She should've said nothing…

"Wanna watch the sequel to that horror movie from the other night?" He asked elbowing her and making her blush.

"N…NO!" She growled, eating one of the spicy dumplings angrily making him laugh.

"You sure? We could pick back up where we left off…" Her eyes about bugged out of her head. She punched him hard in the arm causing him to laugh more. Why was he saying this? Especially in front of everyone?

"Fuck yourself Kacchan." She clenched her jaw tightly. The girls around them stared confused, though she wouldn't dare bring that night up.

"Are you scared of horror movies?" Momo asked curiously. Ayako nodded fervently, refusing to let the truth out. The snarky grin on Bakugou's face nearly warranted him another punch. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, completely out of ear shot of all the other girls.

"Don't deny it, one of these days we'll be able to." Chills went over her entire body, but she was damned if her poker face didn't stay in place. She rolled her eyes and shoved him, causing him to finally walk away laughing.

"You guys have such a great friendship. It's not hard to see Bakugou really cares for you!" Toru giggled. "It's nice to see that he really does have a heart." The other girls agreed and giggled.

"Mr. Tough Bakugou can actually make decent friends!" They teased. Ayako giggled nervously, the blush on her face deepening. If only they knew…she paused for a moment. Did this mean he wanted more than just being friends with Ayako? Or did this mean he just wanted to get physical? Whichever the case, guilt set in as she spent more time with the group and Toru. She didn't know exactly what she wanted, but she knew Bakugou needed to be part of it somehow. Would she be able to handle it if Bakugou and her were just friends after Toru confessed? Or would she allow it to happen in the first place? She glanced at Bakugou, thinking about that night over and over. The more she did, the more she knew her answer.
