Sorry it took so long to get this out! I write at work and with it being tax season (I work at a bank) we got so busy! And ya know, life happens hahah.
Thank you for reading the first chapter and enjoying it! I hope the length of this chapter makes up for how long it took!
ALSO! At the end of this chapter, I added someone else just for fun because honestly? I love him just as much as I love Bakugo :)
Side note, I hope I can bring a little joy in this time of panic. Everyone stay stay and stay healthy.

Ochako jumped when there was a knock on the door. She knew exactly who it was…
"Finally!" Mina paused the movie they were only half-way done with and ran to the door, "Ocha's gonna get kissed!"
"It's about time," Tsu got up too, rather annoyed that Mina made her wait to eat her pizza until Deku arrived.
Ochako snuggled deeper into her blankets, she really didn't want to see Deku right now.
Her heart dropped when she watched Bakugo walk away earlier. They hadn't had a proper conversation since that day in Bio.
She… had kind of hoped he would be her first kiss.
"Hey, Uraraka!" Deku sat next to her on the large couch, two pizza boxes balanced on his lap.
"Hey," she greeted groggily, the movie's soft music had been putting her to sleep.
"Don't go to sleep yet, girl!" Mina shook the paper plates and napkins in her face before dishing out slices of greasy pizza, "Midoriya just got here!"
The big exaggerated wink totally went over the boys' head as he discussed as essay with Tsu from a class they shared.
"I'll try," she only took one piece and barely listened to what they were saying.
Tsu and Deku continued to talk about the essay from their English class, a narrative story from a Hero's point of view! As interesting as it was, Mina was bored to tears.
To stop the conversation, the pinkette asked Midoriya how Kirishima was doing lately, as she was too embarrassed to text the walking sunshine after an awkward, drunken one-night stand, which opened up an onslaught of questions from the green haired duo.
Ochako didn't hear a word of the conversation, she was scrolling through Bakugo's twitter feed. It was filled mostly with dumb stuff he shared from the three idiots, but every now and then he posted songs he liked, pictures of an amazing meal he made from scratch, or the occasionally rare selfie.
She couldn't hold in the long yawn and decided to go on to bed when Mina stood and beat her to it.
"WOW! Is it already that late?! I gotta get my beauty sleepy!"
"It's just now 10," Tsu told her.
"I have an early class," a lie, but neither girl had time to say so, "'Chaks, be a dear and escort out guest out?"
"Um…" she knew it was a trap by the way Deku started muttering about having to work the next day, "Sure."
She gathered up her orange and green blanket and put it over her shoulders and tucked it under her arms and led him to the door. Hoping that maybe she could avoid what Mina so obviously set up.
"Thanks for bringing our pizza" she smiled at her friend, pulling the falling blanket back up to her shoulders, "sorry for the mix up."
"No problem! It happens all the time."
She nodded, "I didn't get a chance to apologize to Bakugo, you'll probably see him before I will," she looked down to avoid his innocent stare, "will you make sure to tell him for me?"
"Oh," Midoriya blinked a few times, smiling before answering, "yeah, I'll tell him."
The awkward air around them only grew as the boy continued to stay in the hallway, smiling like their goofy high school teacher, Mr. Yagi.
"Well, um," Ochako glanced back into the apartment, "be careful on your way home."
"Sure! I will. The trains haven't had many incidents lately so I'm sure it'll be fine."
He didn't leave.
Ochako's eye twitched, "I've got an early shift tomorrow at the library, so I need to get to bed."
Deku shook his head, crossing his arms comfortably, hiking his hip and laughing, "Yeah, you need to, you're not the best morning person."
"Yeah," she just stared at him, wondering why he wasn't leaving, "well, goodnight."
"Can I have a goodbye hug first? We always hug," he opened his arms, ready.
She wasn't going to, but she had a bad feeling about getting too close.
"How can I ever refuse my best friend?" she giggled, feeling the guilt start up when she saw his arms twitch.
She squeezed him tight, wrapping her arms around him. She held him until he pulled away, not out of her arms but enough to look at her face.
"Best friend, huh?"
"Is something wrong with that?"
"Well, Ashido told me," she KNEW it, "that you had a crush on me and wanted me to be your… first… kiss."
"I never said that!" Ochako scrunched her eyes, shaking her head, causing her long bags to whip in front of her face, "I mean, yeah, I liked you in high school. But by the time we graduated I knew it was just as a friend."
The fanboy nodded, a sad look on his face but also one of understanding.
"You don't… like me? Do you?" she had to know. She couldn't just hurt him like that.
He laughed, rubbing his nose a bit to hide his blush, "I did. Back in high school like you," he ruffled his wild hair, another nervous habit he picked up from her, "when Mina told me you liked me I guess all those feelings came back. I'm sorry-"
"No! I should be saying sorry! I never should have let Mina do all this and I never should have gone along with it!" she sighed, "You know how she gets with her matchmaking, it's hard to say no…"
"Yeah, I remember," he covered his mouth to keep his laughs contained. She assumed he was thinking about the disaster that happened when she attempted to get Iida and Camie together.
"So, since this is out of the way," Deku fidgeting wasn't new but it was always funny to watch, "there's this girl…"
"A girl?" the embarrassing already incident behind them like the proper best friends they were, "who?!"
"Um… well, her uh… her name is Melissa," he scratched his cheek, refusing to meet the excited look in her eyes, "she's in my math class. She's really smart, probably up there with Yayorozu and Iida. She always tells me about the inventions she's working on with her father."
"She sounds great!"
"She is…" he snorted a laugh and told her, "she doesn't get along with Hatsume. They're always trying to outdo one another."
"Oh," Ochako felt a pinch of jealousy, but still felt happy for him, "I'm so glad, Deku!"
"Yeah, well, I haven't asked her out yet or anything," he reached out and hugged her again, this time it was more comfortable for the both of them, "I'm really sorry."
"No, we're already past this. We know how she gets."
"Well, it did work out for Iida," the two snickered, their poor friend never stood a chance against the affectionate bombshell who was now his loving girlfriend.
"Well anyway, let me know how it goes with her!" Ochako grinned, "I can't wait to meet her!"
"Gahh!" Midoriya pulled on the neck of his t-shirt, "At least let me go on one date with her first!"
"Sure Deku, but I do want to meet her so make it soon!"
"Yeah, OK," he laughed, "goodnight, Uraraka."
"Night Deku!"
Ochako closed the door once he was in the elevator. She leaned her forehead on the door smiling. She didn't mess up her friendship with Deku like she was afraid of. What a relief!
"'Chaks!" Mina cooed from the living area, "Tell me all about it!"
The astrology student strolled into the apartment passing the couch without looking at her roommates, "There is nothing to tell."
"Oh, come on! I helped you get your first kiss, the least you could do is tell me how it was!"
"I think that's enough, Mina," Tsu grumbled from her cocoon of blankets.
"There's nothing to tell because I didn't kiss him."
"WHAT?!" Mina jumped off the couch, stopping Ochako from entering her bedroom and causing Tsu to fall over on the couch as she had been using Mina as a pillow, "Why not?! I can run and get him-!"
Ochako grabbed Mina's shoulders and shook her, "I don't like Deku like that! I haven't since high school."
Mina blinked at her with a dumbfounded as Ochako continued, "He's my best friend and kissing him would have put such a strain on our friendship. Plus, he likes someone else."
Tsu nodded, having already seen the stuttery mess that Midoriya becomes when speaking to the blonde girl in class.
"But," Mina shook her head, "your kiss…"
Ochako smiled, "I told you, I wasn't trying to rush it. It'll happen eventually, but I want it to be with the right person."
"Oh," Mina's head hung low, she wrapped her arms around herself, "I'm so sorry, Chaks. I shouldn't have done all this. UGH! I'm just upset about Ei and saw an opportunity for somebody else to be happy and ran with it. Can you forgive me?"
"Of course! You're one of my best friends, I can't stay mad at you," the girls hugged tightly, "now, tell us all about this one-night with Kiri."
Mina tried to run away but Tsu was faster and pulled her to the couch which led to a night long discussion about boys. Apparently, Tsu was being wooed by a boy in her zoology class.
When she finally laid her head down to get some much needed rest, Ochako felt better bout still not having her first kiss.
That night she dreamed of being romanced in sweet gestures, oddly enough, the man in her dreams had explosive blond hair.
Bakugo groaned as he flipped over in his too big, too empty bed a few days after the embarrassing moment of his life.
He had spent the weekend in the gym, beating the crap out of a punching bag as much as was allowed. Hoping that he could beat his feelings out with his fists.
He was very unsuccessful.
Today was supposed to be the class he shared with Uraraka, but their teacher sent an email canceling the class for the day and assigned a reading project. He didn't know if he was thrilled or pissed about missing the class.
Katsuki sat up, rubbing his eyes to wake up. Not having a morning class meant he got to sleep in some. It was currently 7, he normally got up at 5 to start his day. It was an overcast gloomy sky that greeted him when he looked out the window.
He got out of bed and grabbed his jogging attire. Shower, coffee, run, breakfast, work/school. That was how his morning was every day. It worked. He was productive that way.
But… he looked back at the empty wishing, not for the first time, that his day might get interrupted by someone being there with him in the morning.
Shaking his head with a curse, he left the room to get ready. Determined to leave his heart with its pathetic feelings behind.
"Order up!" Kirishima yelled the moment Bakugo walked into work later that day.
Working at the local pizza shop was not his ideal first job. But as much as it was a shock to everyone that he planned on following his parents into the fashion business, he planed on making it there on his own merit. He was going to work his ass off to be the best, so if that meant he had to work a shitty part time job to get started then that was what he planned on doing.
It's not like it was a horrible place to work. Only took him half a year to move up a position and a full year to be labeled the best shift lead the manager had ever had.
"What's up, Bakubro?" the sunny host leaned on the podium as his friend walked by, "Have a good weekend?"
"Shut up, shitty hair."
"Ouch," Kirishima clutched his shirt over his heart in mock pain, "why do always have to be so mean! I'm your best friend!"
"Get to work."
"Loosen up! We aren't even that busy," the redhead laughed even with being ignored.
"Fuck off."
Bakugo shook his head when it just made Kirishima laugh harder. One annoying thing about the job was all the people he worked with he already knew, and they continued to piss him off.
Before he could farther back to the manager's office, he glanced at the buffet counter and saw the damned nerd chatting up some blonde chic.
"What the hell?!" He watched Deku pull out his old ratty notebook to show the girl who seemed equally as nerdy as him, both excited about whatever the hell they were talking about, "Ain't he supposed to be with Uraraka?!"
Before he could storm over there and beat the shit out of him for two-timing the kindest girl around, the dishwasher poked his head over and cooed at the couple, "They make a cute pair, dontcha thing? Midoriya finally asked her out!"
"What the hell do you mean finally?!" Bakugo forced his anger to the other blond boy, "I thought he had a thing with Roundface!"
Kaminari scrunched his eyes, "Who…? Oh! You mean Uraraka?" He shrugged, "I don't know man, Kiri said that Ashido told him that Uraraka doesn't like him like that. The other night she tried to get them to make out or something, but it didn't work out for them."
"It didn't…" Katsuki blinked, turning back to glance at the couple. Deku was a flustered mess and the girl seemed to be blushing too.
"What's it to you, though? Do you like Melissa, she is a total babe," but then he jumped way too much into his brain, "or maybe you're just jealous that Midoriya is getting laid and you aren't-"
"Shut the hell up, Dunce face, before I show why even Coach Yagi is afraid of fighting me!"
Kaminari immediately turned back to his task at hand, rather fiercely rinsing off a pan.
Bakugo snorted, finally going into the managers office and taking a seat. He flipped the camera view so he could see Deku and his girl. He'd never admit it out loud but they made a… somewhat… attractive couple.
"So… I guess Cheeks didn't get her first kiss with the nerd after all…" he moved his attention to the schedule for the day, thinking he may have to make a stop before going home that evening.
"No," Uraraka sniffed, "please no."
The knife slashed quickly through the air, cutting the incredibly thick stands.
"No, stop…" she pushed her fluffy blanket up to her nose, gross sobbing coming from under the pink fleece.
Once the dust settled, the calm after the storm turned into dread and sadness. The music matching the mood.
Uraraka reached blindly for her box of tissues as she watched the next moments in pure silence.
"You were my new dream."
Sniff, "And you were mine."
"Whyyyyyy!" No matter how many times she had watched this movie, Eugene Fitzherbert's sacrifice never failed to make her boo-hoo like a baby.
Knock knock, "Special Delivery!"
"Huh?" the brunette glanced over the back of the couch to the door, that was her neighbors voice. He normally only came over to poke fun at her or beg her to give him Todoroki's sisters number.
"O~Chak~O~!"
"Ugh," she groaned loudly so he could hear her and slowly went to open the door.
"What do you want, Takami?!"
She forced the door open she hoped the wind would push him back some… unfortunately, he wasn't alone.
"Bakugo?" the said man only smirked at her from his spot, leaning against the wall next to her door.
"What, you greet him but not me?" the other blond man pouted and forced his lip to quiver.
"I saw you last night when you were so drunk off your ass you wanted to fly off the balcony," Ochako crossed her arms. She didn't know why Bakugo was here and she had NO idea why he was being friendly to her neighbor. They hated each other, something about an argument about high school idols.
"Hey, I have wings on my back!" He flipped around and showed her the impressive tattoo peeking out under his tank top.
"Doesn't mean you can fly off the fourth floor and survive."
"OK," he smiled, not really caring like always, "anyway, did my part."
He stuck his hand out to Bakugo, who surprisingly nodded and handed him two sheets of paper.
"Don't you dare tell anyone how you got either of these," he growled, finally moving so he was closer to Uraraka.
"You bet. Later!" He practically skipped across the hall into his apartment.
"What did you give him?" Ochako pulled down the sleeve of her sleep shirt, now that Takami was gone she felt the awkward air between them.
"Pizza coupon, buy one get another free," he scratched the back of head, "and Fuyumi's number."
She blinked in complete surprise, not even knowing he had the girls' number, "Todoroki is going to kill you."
"I'd like to see the bastard try."
She giggled, knowing that in would only be a few hours before Bakugo got a very rude phone call from their friend who was very overprotective of who his sister dated.
"So, um," she poked his arm, holding the other over her stomach.
"Uh," a bright blush crept over his face as he kicked his foot over the cutesy welcome mat Tsu had bought, "wanted to ask you something."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah," he took a huge breath before staring right into her warm chocolate eyes, "go on a date with me."
"Wha-What?" she leaned back from his intensity, "Bakugo, what-?"
"I like you. I thought I made that clear that day in Bio. I've wanted to ask you out ever since but I never found the time," his confidence grew the more he talked, "you deserve more than a first kiss from a loser like Deku just 'cause you've never had one before."
"Oh, uh," she felt her face flare up the more he talked. He liked her? Really? "So… you would be my first kiss?"
He smirked, "Go on that date and maybe you'll find out."
Bakugo's confidence ignited her own, "And what will we do on this date?"
"Dinner," he stepped forward and gripped her hips in his large, warm hands, "a movie," the rubbed his thumbs on her skin just above her shorts waistband, "probably dessert after cause that's your favorite meal."
Ochako grabbed onto the strings attached to the front of his hoodie, playing with them instead of looking into his intense eyes, "What movie?"
"That live-action Mulan movie comes out this week," he pressed his forehead against hers, "it looks pretty fucking awesome."
"Didn't know you liked Disney movies."
"I like bad ass chicks who can take care of themselves," he let go of her hip with his right hand and used it to lift her chin, "kind of like this really amazing girl I know."
"I-is that so?" she got lost in the depths of his eyes, the red so vibrant and radiated with passion.
"Hell yeah," his grip on her chin was loose, if she wanted to step away, she could.
But why would she do that.
Ochako raised up on her toes to reach his mouth, extremely nervous and really not knowing what she was doing. She hoped Bakugo liked her as much as he let on.
Excitement caused Bakugo's heart to speed up in anticipation of their first kiss, he leaned down to capture her soft looking lips with his…
"SHE SAID YESS!"
The door across the hall flew open and Takami ran into the hallway dancing.
"Guess who has a date with THE Fuyumi Todoroki?" he didn't even bat an eye when he saw their predicament, "That's right, this guy."
"Kei-Keigo!"
"I'll wait until later for a congrats," he sauntered back into his apartment, but not before giving Bakugo a thumbs up, "now you get yours!"
SLAM!
Ochako sunk down as far as she could while still being in Bakugo's grip, "Well… Moment's over."
"Katsuki?" She tried to pull away. Bakugo was still staring at her neighbor's door with murder in his eyes, but his grip on her wasn't budging, "Do you want to come inside?"
"Oh, like hell I'm letting that damn chicken ruin this."
Bakugo raised her chin back up to his and gave her a mind blowing first kiss. Soft lips, slow movements, sensual sighs, and loving hands.
When they pulled apart, Ochako's eyes were lidded. He snorted as he realized that he could stare at her everyday for the rest of his life.
"Wow, that was," she couldn't form a full sentence just yet, the heat from his kiss still lingered in her body, "wow."
He leaned in again to graze his lips over hers, "That ain't nothing, Ochako."
: I hope you liked it! And as sad as I am that it's over, fear not! I have a new idea that I plan on starting to write this week! If you like singer AU's, stay tuned!
And yes, I love Hawks. It's literally been less than a week since I really started to like him. Blame the movie that I saw in both Dub and Sub(sorry RKS!). And no, I am not caught up on the manga but yes, I am afraid for him.
See you guys later!
