(just to specify - there is no smut in this.)

Ochako was abruptly jolted awake by the buzzing of an alarm, and she didn't waste a second before slamming her hand on the bedside table in order to deactivate it.

Setting an alarm for 5 am was downright sociopathic, no matter how you looked at it. But she supposed, in that respect, it was a fitting habit for Katsuki.

Ochako drearily opened an eye in order to catch a glimpse of her bedmate, and to her mild surprise, he was still slumbering despite the blare of the alarm. Katsuki was never one to oversleep, so that could only mean he must've been more worn out from last night than she initially thought.

A tiny part of her heart couldn't help but swell up in pride.

Tracing her hand gently across his cheek, she took a moment to admire his features. Between the gleaming blond hair, unblemished skin and soft rhythmic breaths he appeared almost angelic, and it was a wonder why he chose to sully such perfect features with a near-constant scowl when he was awake.

It was only when the snooze sounded that Ochako realised her ogling lasted a full 5 minutes.

Deactivating the alarm with just as much speed as she did the first, she turned back to the blond to discover him still peacefully sleeping. As much as she would've loved to remain there for an eternity, she knew he wouldn't sleep forever, and he'd be insufferable later if he knew she let him oversleep.

"Katsuki?" She whispered, tapping his jaw lightly. "You gotta get up."

It didn't take more than a second for him to recoil at her touch and jolt awake. Ochako could see momentary confusion in his eyes before they cleared up, with his expression morphing from its post-slumber surprise to its signature scowl.

"The fuck are you still doing here, cheeks?"

"You slept through the first alarm." She dug a hand under the pillow to withdraw her phone and display the time. "Didn't want ya to oversleep and mess up your schedule."

Katsuki flinched initially at the bright display, but after squinting at the screen she saw his frustration melt away, with his lips forming into a thin line.

(Which was probably the closest thing to 'calm' in Katsuki's narrow range of emotions.)

"Right." The blond kicked off his covers and sat up with a stretch, which inadvertently gave Ochako an opportunity to appreciate his features once more.

It should've been a crime to look that good.

"Oi."

All the boys in the hero course were in shape, of course. Physical fitness was crucial when it came to their desired line of work, and Katsuki was hardly the most brawny out of the bunch. That title would be better suited for Shoji, or possibly even Sato.

"Hey."

But despite that fact, his body was without a doubt the easiest on the eyes. When it wasn't obscured by layers of clothing that made him appear almost lanky, you could truly appreciate how intricately woven his muscles seemed to be, all the while keeping his build lithe and—

"Fucking snap out of it!"

Ochako was jostled out of her thoughts by the combined efforts of Katsuki's voice and the sound of an explosion, causing her eyes to flash from his torso to a freshly smoking palm.

"Hey, what was that for?" She scolded, swatting away at the wisps of smoke.

"You were off in neverland." Katsuki rolled his eyes. "If I didn't snap you out of it you would've been here all day."

Ochako's cheeks lit up at the prospect of being caught in the act, and she was infinitely grateful for the room's lack of lighting.

"Alright, now fuck off."

And just like that, her blush magically disappeared.

"Rude much?"

The blond flicked his bedside lamp on, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed and stretching them out. "I gotta go work out, and the longer you stick around the more likely it is that one of the extras will find you."

Ochako sighed into her palm. "Would it kill you to start with that next time?"

He grunted dismissively in response, rising to his feet and throwing on the tanktop haphazardly thrown on the floor in the heat of last night's activities.

Ochako mirrored his actions, ensuring she looked decent before making for the door. She knew Katsuki well enough that he despised pillowtalk, and as much as she would've liked to at least exchange a few words, she respected their arrangement enough to give him his peace.

"Wait, Ochako."

She stopped before she reached the door, with her breath hitching audibly.

'Ochako', and not 'Cheeks'?

It was a rarity for her to hear her name from his mouth outside of sex, and when tangled with his groggy morning tone her stomach couldn't help but do backflips.

"E-eh?"

"You were wild as hell last night." He flashed her a grin. "Don't think either of us are walking straight for a week."

Ochako hurried out of the room in an attempt to conceal her violent blushing, but considering she heard his chuckles resound through the door, her efforts were for naught.

Came up with this little idea while listening to Blackbear, so I thought I might as well write it up. Hope you liked it!
