Bakugou just finished his physical exam at the All Might office and was waiting for All Might himself to give him his work schedule and what not.
Deku just arrived at the waiting room and then he saw Bakugou sitting down in one of the chairs. Deku immediately tripped back and hid from the view of his new partner.
'Wait what am I doing? We aren't in high school anymore, we are pros and partners! I just need to walk up to him and start a conversation.' Deku thought.
He gained the confidence he needed and walked towards Bakugou.
"Ah..H-hey Kacchan." Deku said.
Bakugou being himself ignored his new partner.
Deku gulped and decided to try again.
"Ahh you really gave it 100% at today's evaluation. You kinda got everybody worried about their lab equipment as well." Deku said.
"Tch. Not my fuckin fault their shitty equipment couldn't handle my quirk." He said.
"I guess so, maybe they need better equipment." Deku suggested.
Bakugou was on his phone and Deku felt that he was going no where with his new partner.
Ever since they both got accepted into the same agency. He knew that his partner would be the one and only Bakugou. He tried to come up with ways to confront Bakugou or atleast start a decent conversation.
He sighed but he was still determined to make progress.
"Ahh how are you and Uraraka?" Deku asked.
Bakugou knew Deku was trying to talk with him. Him being the stubborn ass he is, decided to ignore him again. (He was trying to hold his tantrums and curse words at work after all)
'I don't know what I prefer, Kacchan yelling and threatening me all the time, or him ignoring my presence.' Deku thought to himself.
"I heard you two moved into an apartment already. Well that's to be expected you guys-" Deku words were cut.
"Damn right we are engaged so it's only reasonable we live together dumbass! Don't fucking tell me you disagree for our reasons either." Bakugou defended.
Lately word got around that Uraraka and him moved out together and some people were surprised and unsure if that was the smartest decision the young couple did. He was tired of all the shit they were hearing recently.
Unfortunately for Bakugou Deku wasn't going to lecture him on their decisions. Instead Deku was shocked.
"En-engaged? I was going to say it was expected to happen eventually cause you two were dating since high school. But I didn't know you two were engaged?! When? Or how? Or why didn't Uraraka tell me? Or or ahhh." Deku was stuttering.
Bakugou eyes widened in the realization for the actions he just did. Telling the nerd about his personal life.
"Eh? You mean to tell me Uraraka didn't tell you herself?" Bakugou was also surprised in this situation.
He always knew that Uraraka and Deku were best friends. Since high school. He just never thought that Uraraka would stop talking to Deku about her life.
"Well shit happens after high school. People stop seeing each other and shit." Bakugou smirked. Thinking that this was a victory for him.
"Oh no Uraraka talked to me the other day about her new partners... she just never told me about... your relationship status." Deku muttered.
"Well anyways. Regardless of what people say, I think it's great that you two-"
"Stop right there Deku! We may be fucking partners for this agency. But this partnership won't be forever, it's only temporary! So until we go solo, this is strictly a professional partnership. We aren't going to fucking talk about our personal lives, we only talk about the mission. Got that. So stop trying." Bakugou told him.
"But that isn't true. We aren't in high school anymore. This is the real world. We are real heroes now. This isn't a school project that we can ignore each other for an assignment and get a passing grade. This is now life or death. We fight and defend everybody as heroes. And it's our job to work together to ensure that the city and its citizens are safe from any harm. That means we have to learn to work together, not just now, but for the duration of us working at the same hero field." Deku stood up and his heart was racing fast.
It wasn't everyday he got to lecture Bakugou and now he was wondering how Bakugou will respond to his outburst.
Before Bakugou can respond to Deku. The both of them heard a clapping noise.
"Very well young midoriya, I couldn't have said that just as well as you did right now." All Might said.
Both stared at All Might.
"Well both of you come with me to my office. We have some stuff to talk about and schedules being given. Come! While we are still young!" All Might declared.
~~~ some time later~~~
All might finished telling Bakugou and Deku about how things run in his office and what's expected of them. He gave out their identical schedules and told them tips about keeping their identity hidden and what not. Before the two left the door. He looked at Bakugou.
"Young man, did you finally come up with a new hero name. A new appropriate hero name? You need to submit your papers to me." All Might said.
Bakugou grabbed the paper from his pocket.
"Yeah yeah I got it right here." Bakugou gave it to All Might.
"So is this hero name #8 or #12? I lost track of how many times your... creative.. names got rejected." All Might teased.
"Aye! This is hero name #7, this is the one. Don't you dare reject this name! You should be open minded to greatness right? Unlike Midnight and her stuck up preferences." Bakugou cursed Midnight.
All might opened the paper and grinned.
"Sounds intimidating... but it certainly suits you. You surely would stand out with a name like this. I like it." All Might said.
Bakugou smirked.
"Young man, make sure you do this agency justice."
"Of course I will." Bakugou said.
'I wonder what his name is?' Deku thought.
All Might gave one last comment.
"Oh before you young men leave, remember a great Hero is indeed strong and brave by himself. But a single hero can only save so many people. It takes partnership and trust from your team and partners to make sure justice is indeed served. So take that in mind. A good SOLO hero is determined by how well he can interact and work well with other heroes." All Might said to both of them.
But Bakugou knew that All Might was talking to him.
Both nodded and walked about the door.
Bakugou wants to be a solo hero. He doesn't want to work with other people who will only get in his way. Until he thought that this was his biggest weakness at UA and the most important quality he lacked at UA as well. He cursed at himself and knew that he had to have better team work to become a great hero. After all there would be times when he would have to partner up with random heroes. He hated that he knew he had to change.
But he wasn't going to do a 180 on his personality. Fuck that. If he had to work with others. He will do it as himself. Not some fake ass two faced goodie too shoes personality.
He stopped walking and pointed at Deku's direction.
"Listen here Deku! We are partners and partners only. I want to become a solo hero. And I won't let you stop me! Just because am willing to work with you does not mean we are friends got that! We will... work together at missions and be strangers on days off. Got that!" Bakugou told him.
Deku nodded. But he hopes that their friendship can be fixed by being partners... it just takes time.. right?
~~~At the apartment~~~
"Oh no! We just moved in here and I already messed up the kitchen!" Uraraka yelled to herself.
She just wanted to make a smoothie for Katsuki to have when he got home. And now the white cabinets are covered by a berry mix. The counter top took a hit as well as the floor.
She looked at the clock and hoped that All Might was keeping him at the office longer than needed.
She needed to clean the kitchen first. That way Katsuki doesn't know how much she sucks in the kitchen.
She started to open random drawers and panicked.
"Oh no where did he put all the cleaning stuff!" She said.
She still wasn't familiar with where things were in this new apartment.
Her heart dropped when she heard keys and the sound of the door opening.
Without thinking she ran to the door and shoved it closed as it was opening.
"Eh? What the hell?" Bakugou yelled.
"Hey sweetie... how was the test?" She calmly said and she continued to shove all her weight to make sure the door stays closed.
Bakugou not knowing what is happening decided to shove the door open.
"It was fucking fine, but what the hell are you doing? Open the door!" He said.
"Oh no no it's fine you don't have to come in the apartment... you should go out with... Kirishima or someone." Uraraka suggested.
Bakugou not wanting to hurt Uraraka shoved the door with some of his strength. He didn't want to accidentally hurt her. But he also wants to know why she is shoving the door closed.
"Or, how about I come inside to the apartment I fuckin live in." He sarcastically suggested.
"Then can you go to the store please?" She yelled.
"The store? What the fuck do you need? Wait.. no why the fuck are you closing the door huh?" He yelled.
Uraraka panicked and just blurred out something that no guy would have the chance to say no.
"Katsuki I need tampons! Go get some!" She yelled.
Bakugou stopped trying to shove the door open and looked confused, shocked, and so lost.
Uraraka closed the door and locked it.
"Ahh?" Bakugou couldn't even comprehend any words.
"Yeah go to the store and get me some please. I would go myself but I have cramps." She lied.
"...so that's why the door is closed? Cause you are on your period?" He sounded confused.
"Katsuki don't question me! Go to the store please!" She begged.
Bakugou gave up and grabbed his bag.
"Fine! But I don't fuckin know anything about tampons! Are they all the same or some shit?" He yelled.
"Katsuki keep your voice low! The neighbors!" She gasped.
"Argh! Well I would keep my voice low if I can talk to you face to face you know!" Bakugou said.
"Just...just go ask an employee if you need help!" She said.
"Please I need it!" She said.
He sighed and decided to go get the stuff Ochako demanded.
"Fine but that door better not be shoved on my face when I get back!" He said as he left to the store.
"Oh it won't... just gotta clean up the kitchen." She silently said to herself.
~~~an hour later~~~
Uraraka managed to find the cleaning supplies and quickly cleaned up the mess. Until it looked like the kitchen was as clean as it was when they moved in.
She thought about what went wrong when she made the smoothie and looked at the instructions to use the blender. She sighed when she realized that she didn't put the cap on the top of the blender right... she put the cap on upside down and because of that the cap flew off when she turned on the blender.
She looked at the recipe for the smoothie again online and started to prepare the fruits... again.
~~~During the hour...at the store~~~
Bakugou tracked down the unknown part of the store he never bothered to go by... the female hygiene aisle.
He saw to many different kinds of stuff he didn't even know a girl needed for a period.
He cursed at himself and turned on his phone to google,
"what kinds of shit does a woman need for her period, a guy guide."
Google suggested,"What kind of stuff does a woman need for her period, a guy guide."
He cursed again and clicked on the line google suggested.
He eventually found a website that told him everything a guy needed to know about female periods and what to buy if there partners ask them to buy products for them (in his case his partner slammed the door to his face and demanded him to go to the store)
He grabbed some stuff of the shelf and walked toward the check out station.
And of fucking course the only line available was a girl cashier.
For the first time in forever, he looked away from anybodies face while at the store.
He could only imagine the girl cashier laughing at him silently in her head.
He paid for the stuff and quickly went home, with his face as red as ever.
Boy did he had a long day today.
~~~back at the apartment~~~
Bakugou was relieved when he put his key in the door it twisted... and fuckin opened.
He put his bag on the floor and noticed Ochako was at the kitchen.
He remembered what he read at the website earlier about, things a guy needs to know about a girls period, and decided Ochako was probably grumpy over her cramps and her emotions are all over the place. So instead of starting an argument about what the hell happened earlier with the door situation, he decided to just drop it.
Both of them laid eyes on each other.
He gave her the bag of products and she gave him a smoothie in exchange.
