He felt the other side of the bed leave again. Again he pretended to be asleep. And again he noticed that the time was around midnight.
Again
Again
Again.. for the last month and a half already.
Again... He heard the whole story coming from her mouth. At first she told him she got called in this late at night. And now he was told that she was given a work schedule of the night time shifts. Night time shifts that didn't involve any huge villain interactions besides the usual car thieves and regular alley fights. That was work for lower class heroes from lower status hero agency. Not work for her. She is a graduate from UA High school for fucks sake, wanted from ten major top league hero agencies, this wasn't work for her.
She works the night shift and he works the day shift. He gets the big cases, the "wonder duo" has defeated and captured a handful of big case villains lately, the world is quickly accepting the new heroes from All Mights agency, hell the other day he could have sworn he saw a young group of boys wear Ground Zero brand shirts.
He began to think about the first time she told him she got called in from Todoroki. She said it was punishment for missing the villain case and not being there on time. Well if thats the fucken case then why the hell is Endeavor assigning her to low ass rating cases of capturing a petty thief who took a bag of damn chips.
The whole thing made absolutely no damn sense to him. And why the hell did she only work with Todoroki. He finally gave the icy turd some damn respect and now all of a sudden she only works with him. Hell even the damn zombie guy was getting some media attention.
Thats why Bakugou hated being alone at the middle of the night, noticing his fiancee leave to "work." He was alone with his damn thoughts. Trying to convince himself that he was having a bitch moment doubting everything good in his life.
Alone in his own mind, studying his little interactions with Ochako carefully. When he left for work earlier the other day, he opened the door and saw her looking for her keys not he other side. She didn't seem to be hiding anything, she didn't look unhappy. She smiled. She gave me a hug. She told me to have great day and yapped that she was going to make a "super awesome Uraraka original meal" for dinner. She gave me a kiss that day and smiled. She never made it home that day to make him dinner, instead worked overtime. But that was one of the few interactions they had and that was days ago.
To him, her actions didn't seem that she was unhappy with their relationship. Either he is overreacting like a damn nanny or she was a great actor as she is a hero.
Should he even be fucking considered of the worst case scenario? Hell if he is wrong then he knows for damn sure that he started an unnecessary argument with Ochako if he is wrong. No he is wrong. For the first time in his whole life, he tried to convince himself he was wrong, there is nothing wrong with the situation.
She is scheduled to have a day off today, just like him. But she got called into work again, just like her last day off. He was going to tell her to stop wasting her skill and potential on crappy cases of grand theft autos wannabes. She should tell her boss to give her the bigger cases with a different schedule. After all any agency would take Uravity in their agency in a heart beat and surely he knows that Endeavor must have some common sense in his thick head to at least know that she has other options if she isn't happy with her career at his agency.
His alarm went off. Crap. He wasted hours of precious sleep bitching.
He still had a couple hours before she was supposed to come home, he just hated spending his free time in bed, especially in a bed without his damn fiancee.
His phone went off, he was expecting to see a message from her not Kirishima, especially this early in the morning.
The red head sent him a link, probably another meme or damn nonsense.
Which is what is was wishing it was after what he saw was it was.
HOT NEWS?! Is Endeavor's new heroes the next POWER COUPLE?!
was the name of the web article he saw. Along with pictures of the "power couple" posing and a couple photos of them capturing a low life criminal. Some photos looked like they were a little too close but nothing alarming.
It disgusted him. This was obviously a poor attempt on Endeavors agency to try to rile the media up with this nonsense, they should fucking hire a better advertising team cause this is obviously bullshit.
Its a poor attempt on their end all right. Even though he knows its garbage, the media seems to be loving it. Which is bullshit. Ochako isn't a show girl. She should be getting attention from defeating villains, saving people, not given attention for being one of the two "power couple" this is ridiculous.
Kirishima texted: "What a load of lies huh?"
Bakugou responded with:"What a load of garbage is what it is."
After a couple hours of washing dishes and doing laundry Bakugou looked at the clock. 10 am. He doesn't start work until 12.
Uraraka should be back any time now.
The door bell rang.
"lost her keys huh." he said to himself.
But when he opened the door, he saw long black hair, instead of short brown hair.
"Eh? Who the hell are you?" he said
"Who am I? You know I was embarrassed to come here for silly answers, but you should at least have the decency to remember who I am." She said.
"Not a clue." He bluntly said.
she sighed and grabbed her hair to make it look like a pony tail.
"Eh pony tail? Why the hell are you here? Wait, how the fuck do you know where I live?" He asked.
"Its Momo in case you have forgotten my name for the handful of months its been since UA. I asked Jirou, who asked Kaminari to find out where you live to answer your question." Momo said.
He stared at her.
"Well now you are fucking here. So what the hell do you want." He said.
Momo looked down, looking rather unsure of herself.
"Am sorry I shouldn't have come here. Its a silly woman issue. Sorry for bothering you." She quickly said.
He stopped her.
"Really you came here just to tell me you are sorry for bothering me? Well right the hell now you are bothering me, why the fuck did you come here." He questioned.
She started to burn and felt very anxious.
"I just wanted to ask you.. if you are still in a relationship with Uraraka." She said.
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" He yelled.
"Why the hell would you ask that!?" He said.
she remained quiet.
Something was wrong.
Taken back by this weird conversation, he decided not to be a total ass.
"Yes we are. Now why ask that stupid question." He said.
"Well.. Shouto.." she said.
Looking at his surroundings he decided this was a conversation should be inside.
"Come in already, before my neighbors think am sort of villain." He said.
She looked sad but nodded.
They were in the living room. Momo sat down, while Bakugou decided to stand up
"Shouto hasn't been really talking to me lately, I know this sounds like nothing but it is. He has been shoving me off by cancelling dates with strange excuses or just ignores me." She says.
"Well maybe he.." Bakugou was cut off.
"He keeps saying that he suddenly got called in to work the night time shift in the quietness area of the city, there isn't nearly as much villains there in the outskirt of the city. But the work that has been done lately is something an intern can do or another agency that typically do this type of work." She said.
"heh, you mean lower status agencies, D listed, there is a name for them you can just say it." He said.
"Yes you are right, D listed. I just don't calling an agency that it belittles them. Anyways, when we do meet up he never mentions his work. He doesn't rotate partners with the other man either. I just thought it was strange is all." She said.
"What are you really here for. You thinking that he is seeing Ochako or what, because how dare you accuse her of being a cheater." He stares her down.
She looks away.
"Say it." he coldly says.
"The other day when I was going to check on Shouto at his agency because I was worried for him, I overheard a conversation between him and his father." Tears started to fall.
Bakugou felt strange, the same feeling he had the other day, a gut feeling.
"Shouto told his father, "If I propose to her than it would ruin her engagement."... and I know he isn't talking about me.. be..because am not engaged...and he has been avoiding me and having weird shifts out of the blue with his partner Uraraka." She cried.
Bakugou's eyes widened and took a step back... from his own fears?
"And.. and I began to walk away from the door, because I didn't want to look more pathetic than I already was by being caught, so I left. I went home and started thinking what did I do wrong? I thought what Shouto and I had going on our relationship was fine, I've even gave my.. and he just left me with nothing, not an explanation.. nothing." She sobbed.
Any respect Bakugou had for the hot and ice shit was gone. Sure Bakugou was an asshole, but he wasn't the kind of guy to have sex with a girl and dumb her with no reason what so ever. Was he trying to steal Ochako from him too. He actually trusted and told the asshole to watch over Ochako for him against villains. What the FUCK.
and Ochako?
his body fell down on the couch.
Momo looked up from the ground.
"No she fucking wouldn't." She heard him say to himself.
He looked so defeated and confused. She was shocked that he was letting her see him at this state.
"I thought something very similar lately, about the situation. But knew that it wasn't possible. Endeavor's agency is a.. its a joke.. assigning D level missions to A listed heroes at the middle of the fucking night and at the most peaceful part of the city, night after night and pictures on the internet of them working together." He said out loud.
"Then fucking daddy's boy riles you up, has sex with you and stops contacting you and in a conversation with Endeavor about proposing to her will ruin the engagement." He continued to say.
Momo looked sad.
"Our engagement?" He started to laugh.
"Of fucking course you thought about that asshole and Ochako. We are the only fucking ones engaged and they clearly have questionable work every fucking night. Who else could you have fucking thought of huh." He started to sound crazy.
"I really do hope that am wrong Bakugou, and am sorry for telling you this nonsense. I was only thinking of myself and now my information, which might now even be correct, can ruin your engagement. I really.. I really don't want to think that Shouto would do something like this, I really don't." She said.
He went turned on his phone and made a call.
"I tried called Shouto and Uraraka earlier and they didn't answer, thats why am here right now." Momo said.
"Deku listen to me and don't fucking say a word back to me while am talking. Go tell All Might and tell him that we are going to the fucking outskirt region of the damn city at the fucking night time shift today you hear me. Don't you dare question me just make it fucking happen. I'll see you the fuck later." He said controlling the level of his tone.
"Are you going to join the nerd and I on our shift tonight or what." He asks her.
She nods her head.
They heard keys jiggle outside.
"Stop crying!" He told Momo.
His heart started to wildly beat and it didn't feel right. Regardless of the truth of Momo's information and his own thoughts lately, he can't look at her right now, hell he can't be in the same room with her, not right now.
The door opened and Uraraka came in.
"Boy you will not believe the kind of day I had today or yesterday hard to tell lately but I-" Uraraka stopped talking as she saw that their was company in their apartment.
"Oh hi Momo what are you doing here?" She questioned.
"Um.. I." Momo didn't want her emotions to take over.
"We were just leaving right now." Bakugou said.
"Huh? Really well were too?" Uraraka asked.
He didn't respond to her.
"Hey are you alright?" she came closer to him. She faces his back as she places her hand to his shoulder.
But he moved his shoulder away from her touch.
She gasped while she watched Momo and her fiancé leave the apartment without a single word to her.
Everything is okay... just friends hanging out.. we are okay..
...Right?
She tried to convinced herself.
A/N
I decided to post this chapter today, I originally planned to post this maybe two week later, but I thought it was unfair of me to wait that long, especially since I always plan to post and end up late anyways. This chapter gave me the feels when I wrote it the other day. The story unfolds soon. Next time in Ochako's point of view of what happened during the last month and a half. Endeavor has tricks up his sleeve and just what the heck is going on in Shouto's mind.
