AN: Hey everyone thank you for all the wonderful comments and messages I've been receiving. You guys are great! I also wanted to let you know of course that none of the songs belong to me just thought they were fitting for their little outing. Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Briskly making it inside Uraraka smiled at all the flashing lights that greeted them. Sure, she was exhausted from another day at her work studies with Hawks along with Mina, Hagakure and Tokoyami but still couldn't refuse a good night out with friends.

"I still find it freaking hilarious that they made a hero suit specifically for your kind of quirk Hagakure." Mina laughed at the memory of watching the look on Hawks face once he realized what Hagakure had to do in order to use her quirk properly immediately having his team come up with a hero suit that she could wear and still be invisible.

"Yeah, but on the bright side now I don't have to be cold anymore!" Hagakure giggled sitting on a stool by the bar.

"True." Uraraka smiled in agreement wondering why nobody ever thought of that since it seemed they made hero suits tailored specifically for each individual quirk but still wondered why this was never the case for Hagakure.

"Yeah, I believe Hawk's initial responds was 'yeah that's not going to work around here.'" Mina chuckled receiving hysterical laughter in return.

"I'm glad we decided to come out today." Tsu grinned watching a few people on stage.

"Yeah, especially since they have Karaoke today before we get on the dance floor!" Mina pumped her fist in the air until her eyes stopped at a figure approaching. "Oh, hey isn't that the cute bartender?"

"What's his name again?" Yaoyorozu asked.

"Riku." He said walking up to them with a smile. "And welcome back."

"Pretty eyes!" Jirou grinned. "Yeah, we were here a couple of weeks ago."

"Yeah, sorry I didn't get a chance to say 'hi' but it was a rather busy night." He gave a slight frown before smiling again when he looked up meeting Urarakas concerned gaze. "Hey cat girl nice to see you again."

"Cat girl?" Tsu asked staring blankly at her until Uraraka sheepishly wiggled her fingers smiling. "Oh, that's cute. I never thought of that."

"So, is there any chance we could get some liquid courage?" Mina slyly asked remembering that Hawks told them they went to UA.

Smirking Riku shook his head. "Nice try. I know you know that I asked Hawks about you guys."

"Oh, come on! Just a little bit, I promise we'll behave! Besides we plan on singing tonight too AND we have a chaperone!" Mina smiled just as the pro hero walked in. "and there he is!"

"Oh no…" Hawks groaned rubbing his tired face. "What are you guys doing here? You have work in the morning!"

"Yeah, with you." Uraraka smiled teasingly making him pout.

"Fine whatever but if I don't see you guys there on time there will be consequences."

"Yes sir." They saluted, making him roll his eyes as he went to greet the rest of the guys already looking through the song list.

"You know…" Mina started but was cut off by Riku.

"Answer's still no."

"Really?! Well how old are you? I bet you're not even old enough to work here."

"Keep thinking that. I'm 21." He laughed, setting down six glasses in front of them. "Here, it's on the house some nice refreshing non-alcoholic drinks."

"Meanie." Mina pouted grabbing her drink and walking to Kirishima who was talking now with Camie and one of her friends.

"I think I know what we should sing if they have it!" Jirou suddenly perked up grabbing Uraraka by the wrist. "Come on girls this will be fun!"

"Yo man I didn't think you would come out tonight!" Kirishimas eyes grew rechecking his drink again. "I could've sworn there's no alcohol in this."

"Shut up dumbass it's me!" Bakugo scowled letting his crimson eyes scan the place hoping to come across a familiar turf of brown hair.

"And may I say lively as ever." Hawks chuckled, taking a gulp of his drink waiting for the next in line to get on stage.

"I think the girls are up next." Kaminari said extremely focused on the stage just as Camie, Hagakure, Jirou, Uraraka and Mina made their way on stage.

"Why are you guys not up there?" Deku asked Tsu and Yaoyorozu who were sitting down.

"I don't do well singing in front of people, so I think I'll leave this to them. Ribbit." Tsu grinned.

"Same for me." Yaoyorozu said, feeling herself blush. "Playing an instrument is one thing but actually singing..."

"I don't know, might be fun." Deku thought out loud shrugging his shoulders with Todoroki.

Leaning back against the wall, Bakugo crossed his arms with a bored expression when in reality he tried to keep the heat from his face when his eyes wouldn't leave Urarakas sight. Even more so when he noticed she was wearing a pair of black heeled ankle boots, tight black shorts that hugged her hips perfectly and complimented her toned legs in a way that made Bakugo quickly check to see if anyone had noticed him staring while trying his best not to look below her neckline.

"Might want to wipe that droll." Kirishima grinned keeping his eyes forward.

'Of course that idiot would notice.' Bakugo shifted his weight mumbling. "Shut up."

"Wait, did Jirou just stick her tongue out at you?" Sero asked a surprised Kaminari.

"O-of course not….?"

"I don't know Jirou this song seems kind of fast." Uraraka started fidgeting at all the attention they were getting while Jirou continued to make sure everyone had a microphone.

"It'll be fine Ochaco. We can do this." Mina waved at the audience who in turn cheered them on.

"Don't worry you'll like this song I promise." Jirou smiled before starting the screen for them.

(Paramore – "Misery Business")

Nervously waiting for the song to start Uraraka started moving her head to the beat letting Jirou lead them off and deciding to help with the chorus instead since she was unfamiliar with it.

Smiling, the girls started joining Jirou once the chorus started and jumping to the beat. Uraraka actually didn't find the song bad at all. Letting Jirou sing again, the four girls started dancing and pumping up the audience who started to look like they were having fun too as they sang along.

Smirking Bakugo continued to watch as the girls were obviously having fun ignoring the shouts and clapping from their classmates with his eyes solely focusing on a certain gravity manipulator and that smile that he loved to see on her face. How the hell someone could be this beautiful he didn't know. She could just walk into any room and brighten anyone's day just with the sound of her voice alone and adding that with her smile…well let's just say Bakugo knew there was no going back for him. He just had to figure out a way to make it up to her and show her how much she still meant to him, or how much he wanted to be with her.

"Woah that was like SO much fun!" Camie jumped down from the stage allowing the girls to do the same while other people took their place. "We should do this again!"

"Definitely!" Mina said running up to Kirishima. "Did you see us babe?!"

"Yeah, you guys were great." He grinned wrapping her around the waist.

Smiling Uraraka turned her head not expecting Bakugo to be there of all people let alone staring at her from the corner of his eyes. He was still leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets but had an odd look on his face furrowing his brows like he was deep in thought, and it certainly didn't help that he wasn't bad to look at as per usual, wearing a blue button shirt over a white shirt and dark denim jeans with his regular black boots.

"Hey." Pushing off the wall Bakugo opened his mouth to continue talking but was interrupted.

"Hey girly let's go get something to drink. I'm thirsty." Camie grabbed her hand, leading her away from the crowd and towards the bar with Jirou.

"So, seems like you guys had fun." Ayaka said placing their sodas in front of them.

"So much!" Camie said gulping her drink down. "I don't remember the last time I had this much fun."

"I'm glad to hear it." Uraraka grinned taking a long drink from her glass.

"Didn't know you guys could sing." Riku smiled standing next to Ayaka and eyed her carefully.

"W-Well it was mostly Jirou and the others." Uraraka placed a strand of hair behind her ear. "Since she's in a band and all."

"Really?" Riku raised his eyebrows in interest.

"Yeah, it's just me and some of our friends."

Exchanging looks with Ayaka, Riku nodded. "Well, whenever you guys have time, I'd love to hear you since I know people who are always looking for new talent."

"Wait really?" Jirou sat up straight.

"Yup. You guys just let us know and I can find someone who can make it happen."

"That's- hey dude did you hear?!" Jirou said excitedly watching as Bakugo approach them. "Pretty eyes over here said he knew people who would love to listen to us!"

"Hey Katsuki!" Ayaka smiled. "Glad to see you decided to show."

"I fuckin told you to stop calling me that!" Bakugo growled before turning to Riku. "The fuck's your policy on firing people?"

Chuckling Riku looked at Ayaka. "Sorry man she's been here for a while now. Kind of like family, so it'll be hard to fire her. Besides whom will I have to take care of the place if I need a day off." He smiled giving Uraraka a small wink as Ayaka playfully shoved him.

Clenching his fists and taking a deep breath in, Bakugo saw a small smirk appear on Riku's face when someone started tugging on his sleeve.

"Bakugo come on, dance with me!" Camie smiled trying to pull him to the dance floor.

"No. I already said I don't dance with morons." He snapped pulling himself free before turning his gaze to Uraraka who still had her back to him. "Oi round-face let's go."

"Huh?" she said placing her drink down right as he pulled her by her wrist. "Wait where are we going?!"

"Bird brain's already waiting for us."

She heard him say over his shoulder, glancing up to see Tokoyami timidly waving at them next to the stage before reality sunk in and she yanked her arm free. "Wait a minute. Waiting for what exactly?"

"We're up next."

"For…?" she cautiously asked, raising her voice over the loud crowd.

Turning he was surprised with how close she stood, giving her a once over without realizing it until they both stiffened and felt their cheeks warm.

"To sing round-face." He said opting to look back at Tokoyami and lifted himself up on stage instead. "Since I heard you're good at it and by the sound of it I'm starting to think that might true." He met her brown eyes and gave her a mischievous smirk that made her heart skip a beat before helping her up. "Now come on."

"I can't believe I'm doing this again…" Uraraka was panicking trying to take steady slow breaths in and out when everyone started staring at her after Minas and Kaminaris performances.

"Relax Pink cheeks you'll do fine." Bakugo mumbled setting up the microphone for her with an amused expression when she tried to peek over his wide shoulders, thankful that he was currently blocking her view. "You don't see Bird boy over there freaking out."

Tilting her head towards her left and sure enough Tokoyami was waiting for them but with an uneasy expression on his usual calm face. "Um…I don't think that's 100% accurate Bakugo."

"Hah?" Darting his eyes between the two Bakugo rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on bird boy we do this all the time!"

"Bakugo, I don't sing." Tokoyami stared back slightly shaking now.

Walking back to fix his own microphone he frowned at what he had to work with. "You'll be fine as long as you don't 'caw' or 'chirp' or whatever the fuck you damn birds do while singing."

Gawking Tokoyami stared at him in offense.

"Wait, I think I've heard this song before…" she said squinting her eyes at the screen in front of them.

"Yeah, that's why we picked it." Bakugo gestured to both he and Tokoyami who was still staring at him. "Besides the drums in this sick."

Red Hot Chili Peppers- "Otherside"

Once the song began, she heard Bakugo starting it off with Tokoyami nervously eyeing the crowd. Taking a shaky breath, she tried not to focus so much on the crowd, instead trying to keep her eyes on the words in front of them. This was somewhat different than when she sang earlier since for some reason, he wanted to hear her up close which made her even more nervous.

Feeling his eyes on her she slowly nodded back doing the same with Tokoyami as she shyly started singing along, nervously glancing sideways to make sure she was doing this right. She however surprised to see Bakugos eyes momentarily widen before he gave her an encouraging smirk.

Once the song started picking up, she started moving her head side to side, clapping along to the beat playfully nudging Tokoyami when he quietly started joining them.

Enjoying herself she gave a beaming smile as she continued happily moving to the song watching as both of them started chuckling at her enthusiasm.

Biting his lip Bakugo found himself having just as much fun as the both of them and slowly let them sing opting to just mouth the words he already knew until he joined the chorus as they continued singing until the song ended with the crowd cheering and their friends whistling and applauding.

Hopping off the stage Bakugo continued to smirk as he turned to help her down and Tokoyami jumped down after her.

"Oh my god! I can't believe we just did that!" she glowed jumping on the tips of her toes and shaking Tokoyamis shoulders excitingly before moving over to give Bakugo a quick hug too without thinking. "Thank you."

Unable to speak at the soft and familiar feeling of her arms wrapped around him that made it hard for him to want to let go; he could only nod in return as she gave him one last smile and slipped away to the others.

"I don't know what to do…" Kaminari pouted face down on the table. "I think she hates me."

"Now why would you think that?" Kirishima asked sitting back down with Bakugo after Uraraka dragged them as well as Deku and Todoroki up on stage with her to sing along to 'Livin on a prayer' which they enjoyed.

"I don't know I just do. It's like before we always had fun hanging out but now…for some reason she avoids me or makes up excuses not to hang out with me."

Chuckling Bakugo lifted his cup to his lips. "Maybe she does."

Shaking his head Sero frowned. "I don't think that's considered advice."

"What Sparky needs is a good kick in the ass." Bakugo slammed his cup down, turning to him. "If you really fuckin like ears so much, then do something already and quite being a bitch about it."

"Woah you just took tough love to another level man." Sero said placing his hand on Kaminari's shoulder as his lip trembled slightly.

"I'm not about to sugar coat shit for him." He spat. "Whining about it isn't going to do you any good, so hurry up and do something before you lose her." He grumbled the last part. "Trust me."

"Speaking from experience?" Kirishima chuckled being the only one to hear the last part and gulping when he saw Bakugos glare.

Jolting up and gasping with sweat dripping down his body, eyes wide in shock. Bakugo frantically looked around his dark room realizing he was alone until he caught the familiar scent of burning sheets as he glanced down noticing his hand gripping the bed sheets that once were white but now black and crumply. "Shit… not again." He panted running his shaky hands through his hair wondering where the hell he put his gloves.

"KATSUKI YOU BETTER NOT HAVE BURNED ANOTHER ONE OF YOU DAMN SHEETS!" He heard his mom shout with her all too familiar stomps heading down the hall.

"MIND YOUR OWN DAMN BUISINESS YOU OLD HAG!"

"See he's fine. Now come to bed." He luckily heard his dad say.

After a few more minutes he found himself laying in his bed still red faced and embarrassed, staring at the ceiling after having calmed down from yet another one of his many adventures dreams he's had ever since last year starring a certain brown haired gravity girl, who he was sure if she ever found out would probably float his sorry ass all the way to the sun.

But it's not like he could control what his damn imagination decided to conjure up in the middle of the night. He had initially blamed that damn class they had to take as well as his poor excuse for friends, but things certainly got more realistic when they got attacked that time.

Luckily when he was overseas, he didn't have to share his room with anyone so no one knew about the many many bed covers and pillows he had to get replaced because he kept dreaming about her- just shrugging it off as losing control of his quirk while sleeping when Endeavor would ask and luckily for him the pro never asked again.

What was even worse was that he would occasionally find himself often daydreaming now too when he was in class, with her sitting in her seat in the back of the class listening to their teachers' lectures.

Shaking his head to try and clear his mind, he gave a frustrated groan and mindlessly started scrolling through his phone until his thumb hovered over her contact information but stopped when he checked the time. Deciding instead to just talk to her later that day after their scheduled group meeting with Endeavor.

Sitting now wide awake he trudged towards his door. "Might as well get up since apparently sleep continues to be a damn safety hazard now."

Falling to her knees Uraraka peered up accepting the napkin Hawks offered before wiping her nose. "Thanks."

"Still an ongoing thing huh?" he pointed to his nose as she nodded. "Hopefully that'll ease up the same way your nausea eventually did."

"I still get nauseas though." Shakily standing she continued dapping her nose when she saw Tokoyami, Mina and Hagakure walking to get changed out of their hero suits.

"Yeah, but not as bad." He yawned following her out of the gym. "And not gonna lie, you had me surprised that you even decided to use that move of yours during the sport festival when you've only been working on smaller objects so far. Remember don't push yourself too much."

"Yeah, you and me both." she quietly said.

Lazily stretching his hands over his head his wings automatically did the same, almost knocking her over in the process. "Oops, sorry my bad."

"I'm sure." She rolled her eyes amused.

"By the way I send in a request for another transfer."

"You did? Who?" she asked now curiously staring up.

"That one chick with the ear quirk." He pointed at his ear.

"Jirou?!" she squealed, making him wince.

"She hasn't accepted yet, so we'll see. Figured with her kind of quirk it would be useful in doing some of the things we specialize in here."

"Makes sense." She said staring at the ground.

"Hey there's another thing…" He looked around and with a tilt of his head motioned her to follow. Once inside he quickly closed the door behind them while she waited for him to speak."I just wanted to come in here just in case someone overheard us since remember this is not something we want everyone to know just yet."

"And you brought us in here?" she raised a curios brow.

"Yeah, I usually just come in here when I need a moments peace to clear my head you know."

"Hawks…this is the girls locker room." She scolded crossing her arms.

"Is it?" he gave a sheepish smile looking around. "Maybe I need to start labeling these huh?"

"Ok, I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that." She shook her head knowing and hoping he was just kidding. "So, what's up?"

"Anyone ever tell you that you're bossy." He lowered his head to be at eye level.

"Hawks."

"Alright, so there was a meeting earlier to talk about any new info about the Ipponmichi."

"Really?" she widened her eyes.

"Before you say anything I only heard about this meeting last night and NO I didn't want to go."

"What?" she said frowning with annoyance. Why not?!"

"They asked for you too, but I told them that we were busy and couldn't make it." He said grinning proudly like he had just done them both a huge favor.

"Again, why would that be a good thing Hawks?"

"Ughhhh." He dramatically rolled his eyes groaning. "Because those things are sooo boring! Most of those meeting they just talk about the same old stuff before they even begin to talk about what's important. And I'm the kind of guy who just wants to get to the good stuff you know."

"Um ok…" she quickly blinked trying to remember that this was the number two hero of all of Japan for a reason…right?

"Trust me it's fine."

"But wouldn't everyone be mad that we weren't there?"

Smiling from ear to ear he shrugged nonchalantly. "Oh yeah-no Endeavor was furious! But then again when isn't he am I right?" he chuckled at his own joke before pulling out his phone and showing it to her. "Oh, and look he's calling me right now!"

Snorting Uraraka covered her mouth. "Why do you have a picture of Endeavor on your phone?"

Glancing down at the angry looking face staring back at him, Hawks quickly ignored the call before lifting his phone up and taking a quick picture of himself and a confused Uraraka holding up a peace sign.

"Yeah, he wasn't happy when I took that." He murmured while sending the picture he just took and quietly smiling to himself. "There."

"HAWKS?!"

"Huh?" Whirling their heads at the loud voice coming from behind them, they saw a few of the females exiting the showers with towels wrapped around themselves including Mina and Hagakure.

"Um do you guys mind? We were in the middle of something." Hawks gave them all disapproving looks before grabbing Uraraka by the arm to lead them back out. "Come on, some people have no consideration for others."

"Unbelievable…" she mumbled to herself.

"I know right! The nerve of some people." He agreed, shaking his head once they were out.

"I was talking about you."

"Nah really?" he grinned, shoving his hands in his pockets as she followed. "Anyways like I was saying, I'm sure Endeavor was just fine especially since he had your three friends there to keep him company."

"Uh-huh."

"So, another reason we didn't need to go was because the new information they have was the one I gave them, which according to my sources show that this 'Hana' person is actually here now. Meaning-"

"That Toga should be too." Uraraka finished before turning, opening her mouth but saw Hawks already lifting his hand.

"Wait wait wait, we still aren't 100% on that. Remember we're not going to run into something this dangerous when we still don't know who this person she's with is."

"Hawks that's one of the reasons why we've trained so hard!"

"Look I know you're thinking of one thing right now, but you need to be patient got it?"

Taking a deep breath, she reluctantly nodded before feeling her phone vibrate and pulled it out surprised to see who it was.

"You gonna answer that?"

With the sudden fluttering in her stomach going wild she suddenly started feeling her nerves kick in as she answered. "H-hello?

After a few seconds of silence, she heard the familiar gruff voice on the other end. "Hey round-face, you busy?"

"Um…sort of."

"Alright, put that damn big bird on the phone."

"O..k…" she hesitantly handed Hawks the phone which he happily took.

"Bakugo my man how's it going?!" Hawks grinned, placing the phone a little further from his ear still able to hear the loud shouting and happily nodding along. "Ok, so yeah it was nice talking to you too buddy…what's that...yeah man I love you too! Alright, well sent Endeavor my love! Yeah man I can't wait to see you either! Alright bye."

"Such a nice guy." Giving the phone back Hawks waved before walking off. "Get some rest baby bird!"

Looking down at her phone she picked it back up to her ear. "Bakugo?"

"…fuckin KFC piece of shit…."

"Hello?"

Hearing him take a calm breath through the phone he slowly answered back. "Hey…"

"Everything alright?"

"Yeah, just got out of this damn meeting with Endeavor and some of the other pros."

"Oh." Remembering what Hawks had told her she could just imagine why Bakugo was so mad.

"Did that walking pile of bird shit tell you what it was about?"

Giggling, she nodded like he could see her through the phone. "Yeah, he told me the gist of it."

"Ok good."

"Is that why you called?" she asked feeling nervous after every second that went by as he stayed silent. "Bakugo?"

"No, I wanted to invite you and Shitty hair over to dinner-if you're not busy after work that is." He quickly added.

"W-when?"

"Tomorrow."

Chewing on her bottom lip and somewhat hesitant at the idea of spending more time with him, she knew it would make things harder for her. "Oh I don't-"

"The old hag specifically asked for the two of you and wouldn't leave me alone until I did."

Pressing her lips together she couldn't stop the pleasant thought of food from the Bakugo household and whether she wanted to admit it or not the thought of seeing him again made her chest warm, which she knew wasn't a good thing. "Alright..."

Smirking Bakugo rubbed the back of his neck. "Ok so I'll pick you up with Shitty hair later."

"Ok see you guys then."

Hearing her end the call, he released the breath he didn't know he was holding. 'How the hell does she keep doing that?!' he thought even after all this damn time he still gets nervous around her or in this case hearing her voice!

He understood her hesitation at first and didn't blame her, but that damn witch of a mother wouldn't stop reminding him every damn day.

"Might as well get dinner over with."
