*Ochako Uraraka's POV*

Day two of the conference was great. I spent most of the day with Jiro. The conference ended relatively early but late enough that Bakugou would be off to work before it ended. So I send him a thank you message in snap chat. I have his number, but it's not saved in my phone...for reason of principal. I consider people who are my friends worth saving in my contacts and because I still was unsure of where me and Bakugou stood, I left his number saved in my notes app. I hoped to add him to my contacts, but that would be after we worked through what actually happened to cause this disappearance of his, because I sure as hell was clueless.

"Hey there, hope work goes well today..sorry to be keeping you up late both nights with my catchup. Hope you aren't too tired (insert emoji that is smiling)" I sent early on in the conference.

Around lunch there was still no response, maybe he was still sleeping? Hmm..

"You expecting a call or something?" Jiro asked on the way to lunch

"Oh haha no not really. Just ya know checking email and such" I covered, but didn't look like she bought it. Maybe I was spending too much time looking at my phone.

"So I don't know how late your staying, but a few of us are going to dinner tonight and word is Bakugou might even show if he leaves work on time" She mentions

"Oh I wish I could, I gotta catch the earliest train once this is over. Early day tomorrow and it's a pretty long ride for me" I say sadly.

"Darn, that sucks. You guys use to be so close at UA, I was hoping to use you as bait haha" Jiro smiled.

"Hey you guys were close too, you had that whole music bonding thing going on. I'm sure if you tell him you're going he'll make time." I state as a matter of fact.

"Maybe...we talk a lot online. But I feel like most of the class has grown apart ya know." She says sadly

"Hey, there's always homecoming" I chuckle

"Yeah, cause he's definitely all about that! When is that anyway, i gotta pencil that in"

"Yeah I haven't gone the last two years but Ida will be in this year so I'm definitely going. I think it's either at the end of their semester or the beginning... maybe March...or April haha" I giggle.

"Well you better let me know!" Jiro joking pushes me.

"Will do!" I smile back.

And with that the conference ended shortly after lunch around 3pm. I made my way to the train grabbing my bags in the back of the room where I left them that morning. It wasn't going to be the shortest ride back, I knew how much I reminisced on route. Maybe I could convince myself into taking a nap on the train home though.

As I got my things situated on the train I felt my phone vibrate which indicated a text or phone call. To my surprise it was a text from Bakugou.

"Really messing up my sleep schedule Cheeks. How's the conference?" He said

"Over actually, I am on the train back home right now actually. And didn't we talk about you calling me that..." I replied

"Yup, and I stand by that nickname, especially after this morning." He typed

"?" Was my reply

"Got a nice little show...Cheeks" He said

Oh my goodness... I blushed at reading this. I thought he was definitely still asleep

"OMG...how much...did you see?" I frantically typed

"Nothing to be embarrassed about Cheeks, you look good." He said

I had always been really bad at taking compliments. With how hero's are always criticized in the tabloids and especially the spotlight on female hero's, I just never quite became comfortable with compliments on my appearance. I knew of course objectively I was healthy, but I was still curvy compared to most popular hero's.

"Ugh.. I'm so embarrassed." I said

"Again. Really nothing to be embarrassed about. In fact feel free to send any other pics my way" He said

"BAKUGOU!" I reply

"Relax I didn't mean it like that. It was nice to see you're face I meant. I wouldn't mind it if you sent the occasional selfie or ya know anything else"

I then take a selfie on the train, well a few. The lighting wasn't so great in the first few.

*sent imagine*

"Cute" is all he replies which honestly makes my heart flutter. I ask for one of him, but he mentions that he's at work and he'll send one later. We end our conversation for the time being and I find time to take a quick nap on the train before arriving home.

When I get home I see that i have a few packages waiting. I always try to shop off season to take advantage of the discounts. So although it is the Fall I know I have some cute summer things awaiting my opening! I first throw my clothes in the wash before opening up and tryin on some cute skirts, tops, and bathing suits I ordered. In the midst of tryin on my clothes I receive a text.

*Image received*

I open my phone to see a mirror pic of Bakugou in his bathroom. He's in a dark maroon t shirt and what looked like black jeans.

"You look nice, headed somewhere?" I respond thinking he must have agreed to go out with the few people who were in.

*Image received*

"Nope, just cooking some food for the rest of this week" he responded

The image was an aerial view of his stove with some stir fry on the burners, and from the position of the camera you could make out his black sweatpants and bare feet in what was his kitchen.

"Awh, I was hoping Jiro convinced you to join her and some people out for dinner" I wined.

"Well her and Dunce are suppose to swing by after drinks before they head home. So I have that to look forward to.." he replied

"Yay! I know she was looking forward to seeing you" I said

"You get back home then?" he asked

"Yeah. I actually just got through my front door and saw I got all my summer stuff so pretty excited to be coming home to gifts from me lol" I said comfortably

"Well then, let's see" he remarked

At this I became slightly embarrassed. Just coming off the train, I certainly don't look my best. But after giving it some thought, I rarely get to share my excitement anymore now that I live with just my parents. I recall every time someone ordered new clothes at the dorm it would be like a mini fashion show amongst the girls, what fun times. So I oblige the request and send a photo of a sundress and a few other outfits, cropping out my face since I look utterly exhausted from the traveling.

"cute" he replies to the 3 or 4 pictures I sent.

"Well that's all aside from the bathing suits, but I think I like everything. Good haul!" I exclaim

"Cheeks, you can't leave out the best part" he teased

I'm not sure what really came over me, but I decided to share the bathing suits. But this time I open snap chat. The first one I send is of a swimsuit that is reversible; one side patterned and one side a complimentary solid color. I keep the top the same but reverse the bottoms to a solid color. I decide to send as a selfie below my face, instead of as a timed picture where I can get my whole body into frame- like the other photos. Before snapping the photo I adjust the top to accentuate my cleavage , the top did a good job of that already but now the looked more like they would spill out.

"Check your snap chat" I said

After a few moments I received a snapchat message, our entire conversation seemed to more over there.

"Damn cheeks, what I wouldn't give to see that in person" he said

"I like that it's reversible" I try and stray away from a dangerous conversation.

"Let's see the bottoms again then" he requested

As I attempted to take a picture of the bottoms of the suits I made several attempts but they all came out looking just strange. There is definitely no sexy way to take a selfie of just your butt.

"Ugh, it's too hard to just take a picture of that" I end up sending without a photo

"It's definitely hard alright" he said

"Bakugou!" I replied with an embarrassed emoji face

As I change into my new suit, I hear my phone ping. I look in the mirror and notice this one is definitely too small. the coverage is not enough, top or bottom. I ordered a bikini style in a forest green and although the color was perfect, the bikini bottoms were almost thong like and the top triangles had severe leakage on the sides. I was never a fan of the string ties either bc they could slip and were never enough to keep my shoulders from hurting. I go to open my phone to see Bakugou sent a snapchat picture. I open to see him now lying on his bed, pants somewhat down, and him holding a very prominent thick bulge on his dark gray boxer briefs with text saying "I wasn't joking." I was so taken aback by the photo yet somehow empowered that I…I! had that effect on someone. It must have been the confidence I received from seeing the results of Bakugou's current state but I send a picture, super suggestive, taken from the front facing camera of me perched on the ground looking into my mirror on the door with the phone covering my face, arms pressing my chest together all with the flash on so some parts of the photo were still hard to make out. I was tempted to write something back, but thought I better not go too far. I saw the message was opened. And then viewed again.

"Fuck Cheeks, that's the sexiest photo I've ever seen" he said

It felt so amazing to be called that. I am so use to being called cute or pretty, I rarely ever feel sexy- especially with all the hero's to compare myself too. I'm never self depreciating, but I know I am not usually put in the same box as certain female heros and I've always been fine with that. But to be acknowledged by another hero in that way made me feel some type of way… confident.

"I feign innocence at this point and say "It's a bit small"

"Cheeks you're so fucking hot" he remarked

Enjoying our little game I begin to type a message when I get a notification of a text message from random numbers that I recognize as Bakugou's.

"I'm gunna fucking kill Dunce, they just got here. But feel free to snap me any time Cheeks." he texted

Although I'm a bit saddened by our time cut short, it's probably for the best. That was extremely out of character for myself to send photos…like that…to anyone. UGH, he's back in my life not even that long and I'm already making crazy decisions.
