Bakugo Katsuki, the shipper of UA

Chapter 2: Surprising Revelations

Deku: Um…sure, what is it about?

Kacchan: It's about getting you and Round Face together.

Deku: …

Deku: WHAT?!

Deku: What are you talking about Kacchan?!

Kacchan: Come on nerd, I know that your little "Deku nuts" have the hots for Round Face. It's pretty obvious.

Deku: I d-don't…She's just a very c-close friend Kacchan. It's nothing like that.

Kacchan: Sure. And that Half and Half bastard doesn't have an enormous complex of Daddy issues. Or that purple midget isn't a complete pervert.

Kacchan: Just shut up and come down. I'll be waiting for you.

Read 2:15 AM

If you asked any member of the infamous Class 1-A from U.A. High School about how they view the boy named Izuku Midoriya, otherwise known as the hero in training "Deku", you'd get a lot of different answers. Nonetheless, they would always revolve around the fact that he is a very kind, selfless and determined hero. He's also a pretty good person, almost considered being too good for himself. A cinnamon roll, if you must. But there's also the known fact that Midoriya is one of the smartest students in the class.

His analytical mind could help him predict and theorize about a billion strategies and different utilities of the usage of a quirk only after watching it in action for the first time. This also causes him to go on a mumbling spree at a million miles per hour, which causes everyone around him to seriously consider if he really is a human being or a vibrating ball of nerves and stutters. In other words, you could say that he is very smart and he could comprehend a lot of things easily.

This, though. This is something that he didn't comprehend. His first friend, with whom there had been a pretty good number of rough moments in the last years and little interactions since they started to reconnect, wanted to talk with him about his apparently not so secret crush on his best friend. It didn't make sense to him, but he knew better to comply before Kacchan got impatient and started blowing things just by sheer frustration. And boy, he knew that better than anyone else.

After sighing deeply and getting up from his bed, he reached for his phone, put on a hoodie and headed downstairs to do something that he knew he would regret in the morning. After getting down a few steps on the stairs, he started reconsidering the idea of simply not going through with this and getting back to bed. "I mean" he thought, "it is pretty late right now and if somebody catches us so late at night in the common room, we might get in trouble. Again."

But a flashback of a very angry Bakugo got into his mind, with a scowl plastered on his face, smoke coming from his nostrils and several explosions going off in his hands directed towards him. Then he just decided to go for it. "What is the worst that could happen?" he finally said after a heavy sigh, admitting his defeat and continuing his path down the stairs.

Then he could see him. Bakugo was sitting in the couch while looking at his phone, seemingly undisturbed and, strangely, at peace. When he tried to approach him quietly, he didn't notice the nearby table that was in his wy due to the darkness of the room. Then, the inevitable occurred. He hit his pinky toe with the damn table.

He was in pain and just before he could scream, he heard Bakugo snort for a second and then shush him so as not to wake up the other members in the dorm.

"Shhh, don't you dare scream fucker." Stated Bakugo in a whisper-like tone and with a smug grin in his face, "Geez, does One for All makes the user even dumber than he was before?"

"K-Kacchan! T-That's not how it works! It's j-just that it is very dark and you were so quiet and in peace and I didn't want to disturb you, so I started walking slowly towards y-you but I d-didn't notice the table and then I…" started mumbling quietly Midoriya while Bakugo's forehead veins looked like they could burst at any second.

"Silence, you idiot" shushed Bakugo with frowned brows and looking not as peaceful as he was just minutes before "I don't want you getting us in more trouble because we're still up". Midoriya complied and shut up, covering his mouth nervously to stop his mumbling spree.

After a few seconds of silence and a very palpable awkward tension in the air that neither of the pair of teens knew how to get rid of, Midoriya asked "So…what do you meant with your text?" whilst not daring to look at his rival because of fear that he might hurt him for breaking the silence.

Bakugo open his mouth, incredulously. He couldn't believe it. He knew that Deku was dense, but this was something else. "Are. You. FUCKING. Serious?!" whisper-yelled while directing his glance towards the green boy, who looked like he was about to curl himself up at any moment after the sudden change in volume of the spoken words.

"S-sorry K-kacchan! D-don't hit me! I-it's too late, we're gonna get in trou…"Izuku started, before noticing something strange in his rival, "…ble. Are you okay Kacchan? Is there something wrong?" Asked the green boy with a concerned expression while staring at the reaction of his friend. And for a good reason.

Bakugo just lowered his head and stared at the floor after he almost yelled at Deku. He just stood there silent. Looking as if he was contemplating what to say or do next. After Midoriya asked that last question though, he started doing something that he never even dreamt of doing.

"I'm sorry" spoke quietly the blonde while starting to lift his gaze to meet his friend's concerned one "I-I've been an asshole for a great part of my life. I've treated you like shit. I've done and said horrible, unbefitting things for a hero. And you still forgive me. After all of that. I…I just feel guilty Deku. I don't know how to deal with emotions very well, and you know it…" spoke sincerely while not breaking the eye contact.

"Kacchan, I…" started Izuku before being cut off by Bakugo "Let me fucking finish first, damn it." Growled Bakugo as Midoriya shut his mouth up "As I was saying, I don't deal with emotions. They make you weak. But after a lot of shit that has happened to all of us since we entered this school and the recent reunion at my place, I've felt bad about everything. I…I know that I don't deserve your forgiveness, I mean…I wouldn't forgive someone if they had done what I did to you to me. But I just wanted to try and earn it. Because, the truth is…I miss you." Spoke Bakugo sincerely and with a softer sounding voice, earning a shocked-open mouth reaction from the other boy.

"I miss my best friend. I miss when we could play around and do stupid things without fighting. I miss getting in trouble with my best pal. I…I just…miss you, Zuchan" finished Bakugo as tears started falling uncontrollably down his face. He didn't even try to stop them from falling.

As this was happening, Izuku was looking as surprised as if he had just seen All Might deflate for the first time. He must be dreaming right now. This had to be a dream. There's no way that Bakugo could say those things to him or even dare to use that first nickname that he gave him while they were still friends. When he didn't react, Katsuki just walked up to him, grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and whisper-shouted "SAY SOMETHING, YOU GOD DAMN IDIOT!"

The sudden change of volume and the shaking that he felt through his body made him realize that this was happening. He refocused his gaze on his friend standing in front of him with tears in his eyes expecting an answer. It never came.

He just threw his arms around his friend and started sobbing. "I-I've been w-wanting t-to h-h-h-hear that for so long Kacchan! I will always f-f-forgive you, n-no matter what. We will always be friends and you s-should know it" he spoke into the blonde's ear while the latter just sobbed equally.

They remained like this for a solid minute, until they separated and looked each other in the eye. Then, after cleaning the tears from their faces, Bakugo stretched his arm to go for a handshake and grinned smugly at the shy boy. "You do remember our special handshake, right nerd?"

Midoriya could only grin the same way, almost breaking his face with the expression that he was currently making. "Of course I do, how could I forget?" finished before proceeding with their "special move" as they had dubbed it when they were kids.

For anyone that saw that, it could be seen like a normal handshake when it started. That was until they bumped each other's elbows while not letting go off their hands for a second and releasing the hold after their impact, just to finish with a marine-like forehead salute to each other. After that, they just lost it. They started laughing at their own antics, careful enough as to not wake anyone with their noise.

After few moments to calm each other from the stupid laughter and their stupid behavior, Bakugo spoke softly "Look man, I really appreciate that you forgive me. It means a lot to me. I feel like a crushing weight has been lifted from my shoulders" while smiling at his best friend, "But, don't even think that this means that I will start to be softer with you. In fact, I will be tougher. Just because I don't want to lose to some pathetic bullshit or see you lose to something like that. You're supposed to be the future number one hero, and I will be the one to take that spot from you" finished with a smug smile.

Izuku felt his words different this time. They sounded like a threat yeah, but they didn't feel that way. They felt like a challenge. They felt like he was encouraging him. It was just his way of making him try his hardest. He simply smiled and replied "I won't back down Kacchan. I won't let you take that spot from me".

"Well, now that that's done and I cried for like the millionth time this week, let's get down to the real reason that I called you out here" stated Bakugo with a mischievous smile whilst staring at Izuku.

"I…I d-don't know what you're t-taling about, Kacchan" started the shy boy after he placed his hands up in a defensive motion and started sweating due to the nervousness he felt at the moment,

"Cut that crap, dumbass. I know that you drool for Round Face. Heck, I could bet that you have at least three or more pages in one of those notebooks of yours just entirely dedicated to her. Either with notes or those drawings that you do about her in class" proceeded the blond with the same smile and getting even closer to his best friend. He knew he was right. The nerd was sweating like a water sprinkler on a hot day and as red as a traffic light.

"GAAAAAH! Y-You saw those?! I-I mean, those are f-for s-strategic purposes and quirk analysis. They don't have anything to do with how I feel about her. Which I d-don't…" said the shy one in an attempt to defend himself, before being slapped from behind his neck towards the up side of his head.

"Shut up, moron" said Katsuki after hitting him up the head "Don't deny it. I know you pretty well and you're pretty obvious with that stuff. It was easy to read you. And before you start panicking yourself up, I don't think that she knows, because she's just as dense as you." Stated in a matter-of-factly tone while the other boy just stood there in silence, contemplating his rival's analysis abilities. "Look, let's do this in a different way. Tomorrow, some of the boys and I were going to train in the morning our quirks. Come with us, so you can just talk with more people, to get even more points of view and possible tips, and also see how my plans and schemes are infallible in the romantic department"

"Wait…what did you just said?" asked incredulously the greenette whilst looking at his rival.

"You'll see tomorrow. We'll be at the door at 9 am, don't be late, okay?" simply told him after glancing at the bunny look-a-like hero "It's late. I'll be on my way. See ya" finished Bakugo while he turned around and started his way up towards the elevator "Oh, I almost forgot. Don't expect me to be like this around the others. At least, not for now" spoke as he walked slowly before stopping in his tracks after hearing Midoriya's words.

"I know, it would be weird to act like this all of a sudden" spoke the nerd while chuckling lightly "but I also know that we can start showing our friendship slowly to the other ones. I'm really looking forward to it. Good night Kacchan, I'll see you in the morning."

After hearing that, he could feel a small smile creeping on his face before he replied with an equally animated and chuckled "Good night, Zuchan."

It was the first night in weeks that the two heroes slept in complete tranquility.

The next morning came quick to Katsuki. He felt different. Lighter, happier and in a very peaceful mood. He felt better with himself after what happened with Deku a few hours ago. But he needed to remind himself that he couldn't act so friendly in front of the others, so he prepared himself to act as his "usual" self. He got out of bed, changed into comfortable training clothes and headed downstairs where he greeted the equivalent to a Scotch Tape dispenser, a dumb rock in the form of a human, an emo bird, an octopus ninja, a furry ninja and a rejected casted actor for the role of Pikachu in the live action movie. Or in normal words, some of his classmates.

"Sup, dumbasses?" simply asked them while ignoring the girls that currently were having breakfast nearby them.

"Wooow, somebody's in a good mood" started speaking Kaminari, before hooking an arm around his fellow blonde's neck "What, were you thinking about a lady friend? Or are you happy to see us?" finished teasing while the others chuckled at the scene.

"Yes, I'm in a good mood today Electrical Wire. And that's because I have the chance to beat you all lot into a pulp" responded with a maniac grin before the other blonde retreated with fear in his eyes.

"Well, I gladly take that challenge" spoke Kirishima while activating his quirk in his fists before pointing them at the explosive boy "Let's get going."

At this, Bakugo simply sighed in an annoyed way and spoke "Wait a little bit more, Shitty Hair. That shitty Deku is coming also. I wanted to beat him up as well, so I told him about this."

"Midoriya's coming too?! That's awesome. We're gonna have amazing matches!" simply answered the hardening user while the others nodded with surprised looks in his faces. Surprised at Bakugo's invitation to Midoriya, not Kirishima's behavior. That was "normal".

"Speaking of which…" continued the hot headed blonde "where the fuck is that shitty nerd?" while he barked in annoyance. "I told him to be at the door at 9 am. If he's late, I'm gonna beat his ass so hard that he'll feel as if he had just shitted a log sized…"

"BAKUGO! Refrain your language please! Our fellow female classmates are having breakfast!" spoke the engine boy with robotic kind of motions while he move towards him.

That was weird, he and the Half and Half bastard were moving towards the group. But why? And where the hell was Zuchan?

As the pair continued approaching them, he saw behind them and understood everything. The nerd had invited the pair to train with them, but he wasn't approaching with them because he was speaking to his not so secret crush. He tried to hear what they were saying and catch upon some of the last parts.

"Huh?! More training?! Haven't you just gotten here from your morning run Deku-kun?!" asked a panicked and concerned Uraraka while Izuku just scratched his neck nervously.

"Heh, Kacchan wanted to train a little bit with me and the others, so I couldn't say no." tried to cover up the green hero, as to not sound suspicious in front of the girls that were all watching him intently with questioning looks.

"But Midoriya, isn't Eri supposed to visit you today? It is Saturday and Aizawa spoke about it yesterday in class" stated Asui with a blank expression in her face. At this, Midoriya started to panic and nervously sweating.

"F-Fuck! How could I forget about it? What am I gonna do? I want to go train but if I'm not here, Eri might get upset or start to hate me or worse…"started mumbling while the thoughts of the majority of the people in the room were 'Did Midoriya just swear?'

Katsuki, getting annoyed at his not-known-by-anybody best friend's mumbling, simply yelled "SHUT UP NERD! It's too early in the morning for this, god damn it." While he started massaging his temples, he continued "You just have to text Aizawa that you'll be out for a few hours training with us and see if he could let the little unicorn here with them. It's as simple as that. Now let's go, I'm getting impatient." Finished after pointing at the group of girls when he spoke about Eri's caretakers and started walking towards the entrance of the dorms, ready to go.

Everyone was too surprised to say anything. Surprised to see Bakugo helping Midoriya with a dilemma and surprised at the form that he had just called the sweet little angel that was the white haired girl.

"Holy shit! He's right! Eri could be a little unicorn!" yelled Sero at the background before Midoriya answered "T-That's a great idea! I'll text Aizawa-sensei immediately! Um, Uraraka-san, c-could you take care of Eri before I come back?" asked the shy greenette with puppy eyes towards the girl of his dreams.

At this sight, Uraraka's heart just skipped at least a pair or more beats. She could feel the heat rising to her face, so she quickly replied before focusing again on her breakfast "S-Sure Deku-kun! Leave it all to me…us heh! Good luck! See ya later!"

He just smiled at her and waved good bye to the girls before going out to train with the rest of the boys, not knowing the blushing mess that was Uraraka after he left and how all the girls teased her non-stop for her reaction.

"What's the meaning of this Bakugo?!" exclaimed the usually stoic and calm President of Class 1-a "What do you mean that we're not really going to train?!"

It really was shocking news for the trio that came along with the boys of the so called "Bakusquad" and the other three companions. After they took on the road to one of the training fields just after leaving the dorms, Kaminari started talking about how he was looking forward to this all week because he just wanted to relax a little bit.

"Relax, Four Eyes. This wasn't really a training meeting after all. We had to say that in order to keep some people in the shadows or they would start to suspect and ruin everything that has been done until today" calmly answered Bakugo before continuing "Well, here is the spot in which we had our last talk. Sit down and let's recap your guy's progress"

"Wh-what are you talking about Kacchan?" asked a confused Midoriya who had the same questioning looks on his face as his speedster and dual elemental hero friends.

"Shut up, nerd." Retorted a little bit annoyed Bakugo "Let these morons speak, and you'll understand" After that, they all just complied and sat in the grass. They were in a secluded place, far from the dorms as not to be spied on. A lot of trees surrounded them with a little lake nearby, which helped to ease the nervousness of the boys that were used to these meetings and the ones recently invited.

"Well then, I'll start saying that Idiot#1 right here hadn't very much luck this week" started saying out loud with a big chuckle Sero whilst pointing to Kaminari, who could just hung his head low in a defeated manner "I mean, he couldn't even talk straight when he was supposed to. I think that, if this continues, somebody else will beat him to it."

"H-Hey! I-It's not that I'm not trying man!" defended the electricity user "It's just that, I feel even more stupid when I'm alone with…you know…" giving a heavy sigh at the end.

"Is that even possible?" answered Kirishima with a big laugh, which caused everyone around them, sans the new members, to laugh out loud while Kaminari just huffed and directed his gaze to another place.

"What are you talking about?" asked a now curious Todoroki, which caused all of them to stop laughing and Kirishima to continue "Is it not obvious?"

"At least, I think not" replied with his usual quiet and calm voice tone the dual elemental hero.

"Crap, this makes sense." Bakugo started "I knew why Four Eyes started being friends with the talking broccoli right here, that being that both are big nerds, but your friendship always gave me an odd feeling. I didn't get why you started being so close" earning some shocked looks and stupid laughter around him, while the mentioned trio just stood shocked and dumbfounded.

"I now know that you're just as dense as him. That's why you're friends with him" finished smugly while looking at the Endeavor's family youngest son.

"K-Kacchan! T-that's not nice! Besides, if that's the case, then you have something to do with myself also, right? I mean, we have been friends since we were little" answered Midoriya in a determined tone and giving his first friend a harsh glare.

"Shut it, Zuchan. We're friends because of our parents and because both of us are really stubborn and stupid, and you know that I'm right." Retorted Bakugo whilst giving the green kid a glare of his own.

In the meantime, everybody had kept quiet. They couldn't believe what they were hearing and seeing. Bakugo and Midoriya conversing normally without one of them trying to kill the other? Not even fighting seriously, just "arguing" in a playful and competitive way?

"Zuchan?" started Sero in a quiet tone, before everyone caught up with his question and started laughing out loud at the stupid nickname "Oh my God dude! I didn't knew that you could say something like that" practically screamed the tape user while rolling in the floor from laughter. Even Iida and Todoroki were laughing softly.

"SHUT IT, BASTARDS" screamed an angry and embarrassed Bakugo "It's a nickname from when we were kids. Sometimes I just don't like to call him Deku, okay? Now let's continue with the original topic here before I blow someone's insides in seconds" growled the blonde while setting off some "mild" explosions in his hands effectively silencing the group.

"Now, I knew that you were stupid, Human Battery, but I didn't knew that you could mess an opportunity like that one. I mean, we all set you up pretty much so you just had to invite her" stated a now more serious Bakugo. Meanwhile, Iida interrupted the conversation with a question "Sorry Bakugo, but what do you mean with 'invite her'? Invite who?"

"Tch. You too? Seriously, Four Eyes?" the blonde say while he directed a snarl and an annoyed look to the speedster, "Fine. If you hadn't catch up to this point, I'll simply say it." Continued before calmly saying a sentence that left our favorite trio with mouth-open, wide-eyed looks on their faces. "We have been reuniting here to discuss these moron's crushes and love lives since a few weeks ago. We're trying to discuss about the failed attempts of Blow-Up Fuse here to invite Earphones to a date because he's such a big wuss"

"WH-WHAT?!" simply could be heard from a 5 mile radius around the area.

Meanwhile, at the dorms with the girls, the teasing in between them didn't stop. It really helped that the dorms were empty, so they had all the building to themselves. Because if some of the things that were being discussed there were to be heard, boy oh boy, hell could be unleashed.

"Soooooo, Ochako…why don't you tell us the reason behind your little blushy face right now?" asked Mina with a mischievous tone, while the other surrounding girls with the exception of Tsuyu stared with smug grins at the gravity user.

"I-It's n-nothing! I-I'm just feeling a little…warm? Y-Yeah, t-that's it!" tried to defend herself before being betrayed by her best friend in a way that could hurt anyone that was in her position.

"She has a crush in Midoriya." Stated Tsuyu bluntly, which caused a lot of different reactions amongst them. "Tsuyu –chan! How could you?!" yelled Uraraka before covering her now shiny red face with her hands, activating accidentally her quirk and starting to float.

At the same exact time, Tooru and Mina could only give a very loud and high-pitched squeal combined with a "WE KNEW IT!" "You're so adorable together!" Then, Yaoyorozu and Jirou joined in the conversation.

"Oh my! That's too precious! I knew that you two would end up having feelings towards each other" spoke Momo before Jirou snorted and smugly stated to Uraraka "Damn Ochako, calling dibs in one of the cutest and strongest guys from our class. Didn't knew you had it in yourself"

At this, the pink and floating heroine tried to regain composure of herself. She was better than this. She could fight back. And she would. "O-Oh yeah? W-what about your crush on Kaminari, huh? Or how do you think that Todorki's the cutest and most capable guy in our class, Momo?" answered back to the two girls below her, which caused them to become a blushing mess too.

"I d-don't like that idiot!" tried to defend Kyouka while blushing crazily. At this moment, Momo was just unable to speak and kept trying to mumble a defensive comment about her not liking the fire and ice user in that kind of way.

It was at this moment of ruckus that the entrance of the dorms opened to reveal a very tired and annoyed looking man, carrying a pink and white little backpack in one arm, while he kept a little girl's hand in his other.

"Silence everyone!" Shouted Aizawa with a very unpleased look "Can somebody tell me why is there a floating girl in this room, while a lot of noise is being made at 9:30 am?!" At this, the girls silenced up and after a high pitched and surprised 'Eep!' from Uraraka, the floating girl came back to land in front of her friends.

"Sorry sensei, we were just teasing each other. Nothing else." Said as bluntly as ever the frog hero, while earning a heavy sigh from their teacher and an intrigued and curious look from Eri.

"Just, control yourselves. It's too early for this. Here, in this backpack are some of Eri's toys and colorbooks. Please take care of her properly before Midoriya's back, okay?" earning some nods and genuine smiles from her students. After that, he kneeled to Eri's level and told her sternly but in a soothing tone "Now you little lady, promise me that you will behave yourself with the girls, okay?"

The little girl could only smile at this and nod animatedly. Truth be told, when she was told that Deku was going to be out from the dorms for some time when she was visiting, she got a little sad. But then Aizawa explained to her that she could have the opportunity to have some time with the girls, so she could talk about things that normally she couldn't talk with the green haired hero. At this, she gave him a very excited smile and couldn't wait to meet with the girls of Class 1-A and know what it was to be with only girls around her.

Aizawa proceeded to give the little haired angel's backpack to Uraraka, who walked straight up to them to help and then ruffle the little one's hair with his hand before saying "I'll be back for you at 9 pm, okay? Be good, princess."

This, in turn, caused all the girls in the room to open wide up their mouths. Had their groggy professor just called the little angel, 'princess'?

After this, Eri started giggling before kissing his cheek and saying "I will! Bye Dad, have a nice day! See you later!" This caused the elder one's to exclaim a unanimous and loud "DAAAAAAAAAW" and to Aizawa to blush at her comment. After straitening himself up and coughing a little to diminish the blush that was creeping in his face, he just bid his goodbyes and left the dormitory, looking quite abashed by the little girl's last comment.

When the door was closed and everyone calmed a little bit, the girls moved towards one of the couches located in the common room with Eri. Uraraka then asked "So, Eri, what do you want to do today? Do you want to play with us?" at which the little girl nodded excitedly while she opened her backpack and started picking out some of the toys that Aizawa and Mirio had gifted her. One of the toys caught the interest of the gravity user, while the others chatted animatedly with the little girl about the origins of some of the toys.

"Say, Eri, this one doesn't look like it was bought in a store." Said softly and curiously the pink heroine while she picked a "doll-shaped" figurine. It reminded her of someone, but she couldn't get the clue of whom. It was a little figure made of wooden popsicle sticks, colored in green, with a wide smile drawn at the top of its head and with some red and black detailed lines around.

Seeing which toy Uraraka was talking about, Eri just started blushing crazily and answered in a quiet tone something that made all of the girls collectively "DAAAAWW" and smile at the precious little girl before them. "I-It's a figure of…B-Big Brother Deku. I made it myself to have him by my side always…"

Uraraka could swore that her heart skipped a beat again at the comment and launched herself to give the little girl a hug. "Oh my God, Eri! That's so cute!" continued while the youngest blushed even harder in her arms "I know that he will love to see this and to also know that you keep calling him Big Brother"

After hearing this, an even bigger blush crept in the white bundle of adorableness' face and she just stared at the floor nervously. At this, Momo intervened, "Say, Eri, would you like it if I made you another Deku toy? Perhaps a plushie so you could hug him when you feel scared and could have him with you all the time?"

Eri just looked up to Yaoyorozu and gave her an incredibly and adorable look in her face. It was like a little puppy looking at its new owners for the first time. "Can you do that?" spoke with sparks in her eyes the white haired angel. This, in turn, made Momo cover her mouth and mumble under her breath 'So precious'.

"Yes, I c-can. I just need an image of him to make the plushie correctly. Maybe a photograph or something like that" stated with a smile the creation hero. At this, Mina grinned smugly and said out loud "Ochako has to have at least one, right girl?"

This made Uraraka a blushing and stuttering mess while she tried to deny it. "I mean, she likes him a lot, it would make sense if she had at least one. Like the ones of Kirishima on your phone, Mina" spoke the sound-quirk user in an even smug tone, which caused Mina to blush and start to argue with Jirou about betrayal and her crush on Kaminari.

Hearing this sentence, Eri turned towards Uraraka and innocently asked her "I-Is it true Chako? Do you like Big Brother Deku too?"

They all stopped and looked at the gravity heroine, who could only stutter and mumble incoherent things as an answer. But before somebody had to intervene, Eri continued in a soft but quiet voice "D-Do you have a photo? I-I w-would r-really love to have that p-plushie…"

At this, Uraraka got out of her trance and sighed a little bit before giving her a warm smile. "I do have a photo of him Eri, wait a little bit, okay?" The little girl just beamed at her and nodded excitedly.

The girls could only give her a warm and encouraging smile. It was difficult to admit something like this, but it was for the sake of the little angel that was visiting them. After a quick trip to her room, Uraraka gave Yaoyorozu a framed photograph that she had in her room. Deku had gifted her that photo recently, because he felt that her room could have something to make it cozier. It was a photo of the two of them smiling in their hero suits after a training session, whilst giving each other a side hug. They were sweating, blushing a little bit and pretty tired that day, but they took the picture just for the heck of it. It wasn't difficult to see that it was something really precious to the floating heroine.

After a few minutes of some more teasing about the picture, Momo concentrating to form a plushie of Deku and Uraraka not so secretly asking for a plushie for herself, the girls started playing with Eri. To say that the girl was happy was an understatement. She just got herself a new Deku plushie! It even had his arm gauntlets, his new boots, his hoodie, green hair and even his freckles on the face!

That kept going for a little bit, until Eri glanced at the photograph and asked curiously to Uraraka "Chako? Are you dating Big Brother Deku?"

"WH-WHAT?!" exclaimed a very red looking Ochako while all the other girls stared at the youngest one curiously and very excited.

What's up guys?! Hahahaha sorry if it took me a little bit to write this chapter, it's just that writing stuff like this while dealing with work is somewhat difficult. Nevertheless, I hope that you liked this chapter. I know that I said that I was going to start with the couples in this one, but I didn't want to keep the rival's relationship in just a little conversation about crushes. And I couldn't resist on writing that scene with Eri. She's just too precious.

Next chapter will have some couple action, though, so please don't get impatient. I'll try to get it ready as soon as possible. Hope you like it, and if so, please comment, save and subscribe. It means a lot to me.
