"Huh? Is that Kota?" Uraraka walks over trying to get a better look just as Bakugo grabs her wrist dragging her inside and hiding behind the balcony door. "Bakugo wai-"

"Shhh!" He places a finger to his lips silencing her. Listening to people talking outside she felt heat rise to her cheeks at how close Bakugo was. Unable to look him in the eyes, she tried to look anywhere else hoping he wouldn't be able to notice her blush.

Hearing Kota talk with Ema Bakugo rolled his eyes annoyed before looking back at Uraraka. Realizing how close he was he suddenly felt like it was hard for him to breathe. He felt frozen but yet he couldn't stop his eyes from lingering on her face. He could practically smell the sweet scent of her shampoo overwhelming him. Closing his eyes, he slowly lifted his right hand to touch hers hesitating when they suddenly started hearing loud talking coming from outside the door.

Bakugo immediately took a few steps back trying to keep his distance while running his hand through his hair and shaking his head trying to get rid of whatever the hell that was.

"Oh no!" Uraraka gasped while pushing herself off the wall and walking towards the door before staring at him terrified. "THE GIRLS!" She whisper yelled.

"What?! Are you fuckin kidding me right now!"

"Bakugo!" She frantically waved her hands in front of him. "If they catch you in here, we could get in serious trouble!"

"I fuckin know that ok! What do you think I want to get in fuckin trouble again?!" he glared.

"Wait, what do you mean again?"

"That's not fuckin important right now, is it?!"

"Ok…well get out then!" she started pushing him out again.

Still hearing talking coming from outside the balcony Bakugo dragged a hand across his face "I can't'!

"Why not?"

"Because in case you haven't noticed I'm trying to avoid certain people right now!"

"Ok...well than hide!"

Scoffing he crossed his arms "I'm not fuckin hiding."

"Was that Ochaco?" came Mina's voice.

Glaring at him he just rolled his eyes lifting his hands up in surrender. "Fuck! Where?"

"I don't know um…under the bed?"

Giving her a dangerous look, he shakes his finger at her "I'm not doing that."

"Bakugo!" She whispers yells feeling panic rise.

"Ochaco? Babe are you awake?" Mina says as she starts opening the door.

Growling he throws himself down while wiggling himself under.

"Yeah, just give me a second." She yells while she nudges him with her foot, as he keeps slapping it away.

"Stop kicking me dammit!"

"Shhh!"

Grinding his teeth together "Don't fuckin tell me-"

"-what to do…yeah I know." She grins "just…try and be quiet Bakugo, ok?"

"Can't believe this shit. This is so fuckin stupid." he grumbles just as the door swings open. Making her jump to her feet smiling at her friends.

"Ochaco?"

"Mina, Tsu! Hi!"

"What were you doing on the floor?"

"Who me?" she scratches her head. "Nothing much just…" Looking around she picks up one of her magazines that had fallen out of her bag. "I just dropped this."

Exchanging curious looks they just shrugged it off.

"Anyways, you should have came with us Ochaco, it was so much fun!" Mina smiled while throwing herself on her bed.

"I agree. Ribbit. Maybe next time you could come?"

"Sure." She happily smiled. "That sounds like fun."

"So, what have you been up to?"

"Oh, just reading."

"I swear babe you are addicted to those books." Mina grinned while sitting up. "Not that I blame you. Which reminds me, when we get back to school can I borrow another one? I already finished the previous one you lend me."

"What? Already?" she giggled. "So, I'm guessing you liked it?"

"Hell yeah!" she smirked.

Hearing snicker from under her bed she immediately started coughing hoping no one heard while jumping down on her bed and hearing him grunt in annoyance.

"You alright?" Tsu asked tilting her head. "Do you need some water?"

"Oh no…I'm fine thank you. Where's everyone else?"

"I think they are on their way here."

"Really?" she started fidgeting with her hands. 'Crap, what am I going to do?'

"Ochaco…you sure you're, ok? You seem a bit nervous." Tsu says patting her hand while taking a seat next to her.

"Me nervous? Hahaha of course not that's silly. Why would I be?"

"It's alright Tsu, Ochaco probably just missed us and needed some girl time." Mina grinned while throwing herself on Urarakas bed and hugging her. "Maybe I should invite everyone over again for an impromptu slumber party!"

"NO!" Staring at her shocked outburst Mina and Tsu raised a question eyebrow before hearing her laugh. "I mean…isn't it a little too late for something like that?" she gives them a sheepish smile.

Giving her a suspicious look Mina opened her mouth "Well-."

"Hey guys! There you are!" The door flew open just as Jirou, Momo and Hagakure walked in.

Before Uraraka knew it everyone started talking about their day and what they had planned for tomorrow. It seemed like every minute that ticked by, she was struggling more and more to keep a calm face feeling herself sweat. Especially when everyone started sitting on her bed asking how her day was. Hearing a low growl, it took everything she had to keep her from laughing. 'Bakugos going to kill me.'

'I swear the next person who decides to sit their ass here…I'll blow them the fuck away.' Letting out a quiet yawn Bakugo was beyond bored by this point and starting to feel the exhaustion from today catching up. Pouting, he laid his head on his folded arms in front of him as he listened to all of them talk and talk to the point he just felt like getting up and dealing with the damn consequences. 'The hell with this shit.'

Looking around he tried to find anything to occupy his time with while they just kept going on about their business. Drumming his fingers on the floor he looked up to see Uraraka sitting with Jirou and laughing while listening to music by Jirous bed. 'Smart…probably trying to keep Ears busy.' He smirked before continuing to look around.

He was still frustrated with himself about what happened earlier. 'Why the fuck did I want to…' Not knowing what to make of this he tiredly rubbed his face. 'Fuck it. I'm just exhausted and wasn't thinking.' Hearing her laugh he looked away, his eyes caught sight of a small white envelope to his left. 'Guess it fell out when she picked up that magazine earlier.' He scoffed.

"Hey Ochaco, aren't you going to put on your pj's?" Tsu asked while she laid hers out in front of her as she started getting changed.

"EH?!" Widening her eyes, she took a small glance at her bed before discreetly walking over and sitting down on the floor hoping she could somehow help cover up some of the view. "Oh, I will in a minute."

Bakugo on the other hand had slammed his face down with his forehead resting on his arms the minute he heard them talking not daring to look up even after he felt Uraraka sitting close by. "Fuck, just my luck."

After a minute he felt something lightly brushed against the top of his hair. Cautiously he looked up relieved to see her sitting there and gently touching his hair with her fingertips. Feeling himself blush he pressed his face back down.

Smiling to herself Uraraka was happy to know that at least he had some manners to keep his head down but also feeling her stomach do flips remembering how nice and soft his hair felt before she withdrew her hand. Getting up she walked towards the side of her bed slightly blushing as she looked through the drawer pulling out her pajama clothes.

"Ochaco, are you feeling alright? Your face looks a little red." Momo asked with concerned eyes.

"Oh, I'm fine. Thank you for worrying." Uraraka gestured towards the bathroom. "I'll be right back."

"You don't want to change out here?" Hagakure asked.

"Um not right now I have to use the bathroom anyways." She scratched the back of her head nervously.

After what seemed like forever the noise finally died down as everyone started turning in for the night. Breathing out a sigh of relief he looked around still hearing some of them awake and having small conversations. 'Shit! Do they ever just stop talking?!' Rolling his eyes irritated he looked back over at the small envelope. He was going to continue to ignore it, but something caught his eye…peeking through it was what looked like a small picture. Not being able to get a very good look at it he slowly reached out, making sure he wasn't able to be seen.

Pulling it out along with a small, folded piece of paper he grinned seeing the picture of what looked like a little Uraraka next to a small boy with black hair. Frowning he slowly opened the piece of paper before closing it knowing he probably shouldn't read it especially realizing what it was. "Shit."

Feeling as though he needed to put it back and forget about it, he couldn't look away. Breathing in sharply he rubbed his tired eyes while reading.

'Hey Ochaco,

By the time you're reading this you should already be back at U.A training to become a great hero. Like I said before…I can't wait to see everything that you will accomplish…and I'm hoping I will be able to see you soon again. I know you must be wondering why I decided to write you a letter of all things. The truth is…I've been wanting to tell you this for a while now but haven't had the chance to yet or find the words to tell you. So here it goes…

Since we were little, I've had feelings for you. I don't know if you have noticed, I know others have. But I'm hoping that by me telling you this...it will set some things clear. I've never met anyone else like you Ochaco and I don't think I ever will. I know you must be worried about our friendship. But don't be. Even though I am hoping for a better outcome I can guarantee you this. That no matter what we will always remain friends. You don't have to tell me anything right now. I know this is a lot to take in. Just know that there is no rush and that I can't wait to see you again. But I do want you to know that I'm in love with you.

-Ichiro'

Feeling his eyes shake in shock Bakugo couldn't do anything else but stare at the letter reading it over and over again. Feeling like he had been punched in the chest, his hands trembled, and he tried his hardest not to burn the letter to ash. 'What the hell is this?'

Hearing some of the girls giggle he snapped out of it and hurriedly placed the letter back in the envelope and back to where it was. He never should have read that letter. It was none of his business and she could do whatever the hell she wanted. Then why did he feel so pissed off all of a sudden and seriously wanted to blow something up? Placing his cheek against his folded arms he continued glaring at the wall.

An hour went by when Uraraka quietly sat up making sure everyone was fast asleep. Letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding in the entire time she quietly got out of her bed. Moving to the side of her bed she kneeled down "Bakugo?" she whispered. Not hearing anything she squinted her eyes trying to see him in the dark. "Bakugo?"

He was silently sleeping with his head resting on his arms and pouting. Letting out a soft giggle she looked around still making sure she was good before smiling at him. 'He looks so cute pouting. I wonder what he's dreaming about.' She gently shook his shoulder trying to wake him. "Bakugo… hey wake up."

After a few seconds she saw him slowly opening his eyes still somewhat sleepy trying to get up only to bang his head against the bed. "Shit!" he hissed quietly.

"Shhh." She looked around before helping him wiggle himself out.

Still disoriented and sleepy he rubbed his head "What the hell took you so long?!" he whispered.

"Quiet!" She opened the balcony door as quietly as possible keeping an eye on Jirou before closing it behind her and making sure the curtains were closed.

"Tch." Still half asleep he made his way out and towards the end of the balcony.

Quickly following him she started playing with her hands still keeping her voice low "I'm so sorry about that Bakugo, I didn't think it would take that long."

Yawning he stretched his arms above his head "No shit. You girls talk too much."

Rolling her eyes, she looked at her hands "Did…did you see anything?"

Scoffing he looked at her tilting his chin up before leaning in and flicking her on the forehead "No! Despite what you think of me I'm not fuckin Mineta." Now frowning with a confused look on his face he tilted his head "Why the hell would I want to see that?"

"Ok…good…well…" she relaxed holding onto the rail and nodding.

Staring at her for a minute he looked like he wanted to say more but didn't, instead lifting himself over and down the balcony. "Later round-face." he said over his shoulder before running off towards his cabin.

"Goodnight Bakugo…" Uraraka whispered as she watched him disappear around the corner with a despondent look on her face.
