Inhaling deeply and clenching the cup in his hand tighter Bakugo could feel himself shaking with anger the moment he heard her annoying voice. "What the fuck are you doing here?"

Twirling a blond strand through her finger, Camie playfully moved it away from her shoulder and turned to look at her surroundings. "One of my old girlfriends who goes here invited me."

"Sucks for them." He grumbled grabbing the second cup for Uraraka and turning to leave until she grabbed his elbow, and he roughly yanked it off making her slightly stumble back. "What the fuck?!"

"Ooh don't tell me you're still sour about what happened?" she pouted. "Or are you just upset that we didn't get to finish what we started?"

"What you mean the time you spiked everyones drinks?!" he grit his teeth narrowing his eyes dangerously and wouldn't think twice to blast that smile off her face. "Nothing fuckin happened and nothing ever will, I can promise that!"

"Wasn't me…" she placed a finger to her cheek peeking up at him innocently. "I was pretty out that night too, that's actually why I followed you. Wanted to make sure you were ok."

"I seriously fuckin doubt that."

"Did they ever find out who brought alcohol to this thing?" she asked, taking a moment to think for herself.

Scoffing, he shook his head already done with this conversation the minute he saw her and was about to tell her to fuck off.

"Hey, is that for me?" Uraraka asked walking up to them and gesturing to one of the drinks in his hands. She had been watching them knowing how pissed Bakugo must be and to avoid making a scene for everyone, she decided to help him out knowing he was going to break a fuse any minute. Heck she was about to march right over there too the moment they saw her but decided to let him handle it.

Giving her a thankful look Bakugo quickly offered it to her before gesturing for them to go. "Come on."

"Hey Camie it's been a while." Uraraka decided to remain in place trying her hardest to keep calm since she knew the smile the other girl gave didn't quite reach her eyes.

"I know! It's been ages and you look stunning babe!"

"Thanks."

"She always does." Bakugo smirked down at Uraraka relishing in the way her cheeks flushed even pinker at his comment.

"That is totes cute!" Camie smiled but Uraraka couldn't help but frown at the sudden uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach.

"Ochaco?"

"Huh?" blinking up at him, she realized he had asked her something before turning back to a concerned Camie and shaking her head to clear her mind. "Sorry…what was that?"

"Dance." He said raising his eyebrows. "Let's go."

"Whatever happened to not dancing?" Camie curiously asked lifting her own cup to her lips.

"She's my girlfriend not a moron." He said over his shoulder quickly leading Uraraka to the dance floor.

"Dude is Bakugo dancing?!" Sero gawked at the two just as easily shocked as some of the others to see their once hot-headed friend walking towards the dance floor. They couldn't help but smile at how perfect Bakugo and Uraraka looked together, still somewhat surprised to her bring out a softer somewhat nicer side to him and calmer too.

It was nice to see that after so long they found someone they could trust enough to completely open up.

"They really balance each other out." Deku said to no one in particular as they continued watching them dance. "Always thought so." He fondly smiles glad to see them both finally so happy after this long.

"We definitely need to get this recorded." Mineta smirked right as Tsu smacked him with her tongue taking his phone away.

"I don't think we should trust Mineta with recording this. Ribbit."

"Hey come on! I've matured!" he whined, reaching for his phone without success. "At least for the most part!"

"Don't worry, I got it covered." Hagakure said already pointing her phone to take a picture of the two.

The minute they stepped onto the dance floor Uraraka gave him a halfhearted laugh knowing that everyone was probably watching him with hawk eyes since this was a slow dance after all. Something that no one ever caught him doing, any thoughts about before vanishing from her mind as soon as she locked eyes with his crimson ones.

"Saw the look on your face. Everything ok?" he asked.

"...I guess."

Gently placing her hand in his while his other circled around the small of her back she had to restrain a shiver when he pulled her against him. As the music continued, they swayed to the song, forgetting about everything else, forgetting all of the prying eyes on them, forgetting any other thoughts but each other.

Discreetly leaning forward, she felt his breath hot against her shoulder as he inhaled deeply.

Biting her lip, she saw him slowly look back up at her with animalistic ruby eyes that told her that if she was ok with it, he wouldn't mind taking her on the spot.

Would she? Of course not…right?

Shaking his head to try and clear it, he continued to stare at her with clear lust in his eyes that made her doubt her internal decision. "Fuck Angel face I'm trying my hardest not to fuck the shit out of you right now." He rasped.

And just like that her first decision almost got blown right out the window. "Katsuki…" she gasped both flustered and aroused.

"I know I know…" he nodded taking a deep calm breath knowing that she wanted to stay and enjoy the rest of the damn dance, so he had to control himself at least for now.

Smiling, she quickly cupped his cheek. "What I wanted to say was that we can leave soon, I just promised Deku and Iida a dance." Getting on her tip toes, even with heels she had to make some effort to playfully brush her lips against his ear, smiling when she felt him tremble. "I don't think I can wait either." She whispers.

"Oh hell Ochaco, you're so the girl for me." He smirked, pressing his lips to hers. As the music continued to play, he pressed his forehead against hers letting his arms now wrap fully around her waist as she wrapped hers around his torso swaying to the slow music.

Breaking the silence after a minute Bakugo opened his eyes to stare down at her. "Ochaco?"

"Hmm?"

"Thanks."

Smiling she slowly opened her eyes to see him staring back with a warm opened expression. They have come such a long way from first year. From the two fifteen-year-olds that did everything to beat the other during the sports festival to the people they are now.

"For what?" she curiously asked.

"You know how much I usually hate going to these things?"

"Mhmm."

"But I guess…it's not too bad when you're with me." He mumbled, feeling himself smiling when she laughed.

"Well, I'll make sure to remember that." She didn't know how long they stayed swaying until she heard Bakugo chuckle.

"Round-face the songs finish."

"Can we just stay like this….?"

Nodding, he wrapped his arms around her tighter and dip down to kiss the top of her head now laying against his chest and placing his own head on top of hers, letting them sway into the next song and the one after.

"My feet are killing me!" Mina whimpered again, plopped down on one of the chairs painfully rubbing her feet. "Beauty is pain my ass."

Giggling, Uraraka sat down next to her after her dance with Iida which turned into them dancing with Mina and Tsu, then they dragged the still somewhat shy Koda and Sato to the dance floor too. She still had one more dance left in her before she couldn't control herself anymore and slip out with Bakugo. He had been anything but subtle at the fact that he was trying to undress her constantly with his eyes until she continued to reassure him that they were done soon.

"Hey, have you guys seen Deku anywhere?" Melissa asked as she pulled up a chair too, not wasting time to remove her heels.

"We actually haven't." Uraraka readjusted the black jacket Bakugo had draped over her shoulders after she mentioned being a little cold, and looked at Mina and Tsu who nodded in agreement. "We were supposed to have a dance together but haven't seen him."

"I thought he was with you? Ribbit."

"He was, but said he had to use the bathroom. That was a little while ago." Melissa said watching some of the other students still dancing which included Kaminari playfully wiggling his hips while Jirou continuously covered her mouth laughing.

"Maybe Todoroki has seen him?" Uraraka offered watching him sit by the table next to them talking with Tokoyami.

"Maybe. But surprisingly Todoroki hasn't been much of a talker lately." Mina said furrowing her brows and thinking about how Kirishima was also doing a good job avoiding her even when she asked him to dance. He was clearly still upset but she was really confused as to why.

"Maybe it has something to do with what happened earlier." Tsu said tilting her head to where the three girls were now staring.

"What do you mean? What happened?" Melissa asked.

"Not really sure myself…but by the time I caught the tail end of the conversation he had with Bakugo. I could understand why he would be. Ribbit."

Gripping the silk of her gown while listening to the conversation Tsu had overhead earlier in the kitchen between the two boys, Uraraka let her eyes frantically scan the gym.

"Woah…are you sure Bakugo actually said that?" Mina gasped shaking her head. "But why?"

"Not sure." Tsu shrugged then turned to a quiet Uraraka. "But if I were you, I would talk to him about it Ochaco. Thought he would've already told you by now."

"He's with Kirishima right now." Uraraka said, getting to her feet. "I'll ask Todoroki if he's seen Deku."

"Thank you." Melissa gave her a grateful smile.

Smiling at something Shoji had said they saw Uraraka moving to their table as they pulled a chair out for her.

"Are you enjoying yourself?" Shoji asked.

"I really am. How about you guys?" Uraraka grinned.

"It's nice." Todoroki gave a small smile nodding towards their friends dancing.

"Hey, have either of you seen Deku anywhere?"

"Midoriya?" Shoji asked looking around the gym. "We haven't. If you'd like I can look for him."

"Thanks, it's just we haven't seen him in a while."

"I'll go too." Todoroki quickly got up to follow.

"Um actually Todoroki before you go, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, about what?"

Pursing her lips, she saw the apprehension in his eyes as he continued to look around. "About your conversation with Katsuki earlier."

"Uraraka-"

"Please tell me. Is it true? Did Katsuki really say that?"

"Did you ask him?" he responded.

"I will once I see him."

"Ask me what?"

Jolting to the side she saw the blond standing behind her with an unreadable expression drifting from her to Todoroki.

"Sorry about intrusion." Kirishima nervously scratched the back of his head.

"No, we're not." Bakugo said shoving his hands in his pockets. "I'm here, aren't I? So go ahead ask away."

Parting her mouth repeatedly, she exchanged a worried look with the red head both of them feeling the tension grow.

"Well I heard from Tsu about what happened earlier in the kitchen. I wanted to ask you both about it. So, since I knew you were with Kirishima, I just asked Todoroki since we can't find-"

"Ask what?" he said again.

"You honestly are going to sit there and act like you don't know?" Todoroki frowned, slightly raising his voice.

"That's because I don't know what the fuck you're talking about dipshit."

Fixing his eyes on Bakugo's, Todoroki explained what all happened clenching his fists the more he saw Bakugo bitterly smirk.

"Dude! Did you really?!" Kirishima stared at his best friend, mouth agape in shock. "Not cool man."

Peering down at Uraraka's upset face Bakugo shook his head. "Can't believe you idiots believe this shit…"

"You're not denying it."

"That's because I don't have to answer shit I never said Icy hot!" he snapped before meeting her eyes. "Why the hell would you even believe him?!"

"I never said that." She pointed out.

"Well if you even have to ask-"

"I'm asking you both aren't I." she firmly said standing her ground. "Tsu said-"

"Oh yeah great, frog face now too huh."

"Huh?" The green haired girl turned in their direction.

"What kind bullshit are you spreading? I never said any of that shit!"

"It's not a lie." Todoroki stepped in front of Tsu. "After we came to an understand I thought all of that was behind us Bakugo."

"It is! Do you honestly think that I give two shits if you talk to my girl or not?"

"Do you?" Todoroki asked.

Chuckling Bakugo lifted his hands. "You know what the hell with this."

Briskly walking out of the gym, he could hear her heels clicking against the pavement behind him. "Go back Ochaco."

"Katsuki I was only asking a question."

"A question you shouldn't even have to ask!" he snapped back. "How could you think I would ever say something like that?"

"I didn't say I believe it."

"Well, you also didn't make it sound like you disagreed with them. But then again what I say never holds a candle to what they tell you right?"

"What-Katsuki!" Feeling a hand on her shoulder she saw Kirishima stand next to her as the blond continued to stomp off.

"Just let him cool off. He'll be back."

"Stupid dance. Fucked up music. Morons as friends…" Bakugo grumbled frustratingly kicking a nearby rock and watching as it bounced against one of the buildings and land on a nearby bush.

"OUCH!"

Rolling his eyes at the couple hidden behind the bush, he continued on his path while they scurried off. "GET A FUCKIN ROOM YOU DAMN EXTRAS! WE LIVE IN A DAMN DORM!"

Not that he wouldn't mind being with a certain gravity girl at the moment, but his pride needed attending to and knew he'd eventually head on back once he cooled down.

Why the hell was everyone accusing him of shit he didn't even do?! If he had said something, he would at least take responsibility for it. He knew he was known to be brash and aggressive sometimes…ok maybe more than sometimes. But he was still surprised that they'd believe him of doing something like that.

Didn't she understand how crazy he was for her? For fucks sake he loved her more than anything.

"Seems like we've been running into each other a lot today."

"Could you….I don't know- fuck off already!" He seethed stopping midway when Camie walked out of one of the buildings hands behind her back.

"If you come with me."

"Hell no. I've got a girl already waiting for me." He coldly said, trying to walk pass her.

"Ochaco? She's cute." Stepping in front of him she playfully tiled her head up. "I'm sure she wouldn't mind."

"Yes she would and so would I." He said, trying to step to the side before she blocked it. "Move bitch before I make you move!"

"Why?" she said looking over his shoulder with a growing smile. "Are you going to hurt me?"

He grit his teeth and grabbed her wrist when she attempted to place her hand on his chest. "What the fuck's wrong with you?!" When he heard her giggle when he showed her hand away. He frowned when she closed her eyes and continued to tilt her head.

What was wrong with her? Was she drunk?

Tilting his own head sideways he was about to walk off until she opened her eyes and took a peek over his shoulder.

"Well, that worked out. Thanks Bakugo." She said as she moved away.

"Hah?" Turning his head to look over his own shoulder, wondering what she was so happy about, he found the reason why as his eyes widened.

"Thanks again. I guess I'll see you around, Katsuki." She called out when he saw Uraraka standing a few feet away knowing what it might have looked like.

The moment she saw him staring at her wide eyed and quickly approaching, she took a few steps back, shocked at what she saw. She took Kirishima's advice wanting to give him some time but decided to go after him after a few minutes. What she wasn't expecting was to find him and Camie standing together or the moment she saw her close her eyes then her whole world stopped.

Were they kissing? No that can't be right. Katsuki would never…. She tried to tell herself, but when she saw the back of his head tilt in responds she couldn't take it anymore and had to get out of there.

"Ochaco wait!" Bakugo shouted, trying to run after her but the minute he saw her disappearing into the forest he frustratingly cursed under his breath and grabbed his hair. "Ochaco!"

X

Furiously wiping her face, she continued running for a few minutes until she could hear footsteps quickly approaching.

Grabbing her elbow, he stopped her from taking another step. "Just let me explain. What you saw-"

"What did I see huh? Please enlighten me because from where I was standing it seemed that you two suddenly seemed awfully close."

"Well damn…" he scoffed rubbing his lips. "Guess there's no point in fooling you anymore huh?"

"What?" she felt her eyes widen at the sudden bored look on his face as he released her.

"Sorry Ochaco, but I guess I got bored."

"B-bored?"

"Did I stutter?" Bakugo furrowed his brows stuffing his hands in his pockets. "Look I don't know what else you want me to say. I saw a chance, so I took it. You know I don't like to waste time so when some girl offers something, I'll gladly take it."

"Wait what-"

"Let's not make this more uncomfortable than it has to be alright."

Puffing out her cheeks she felt all of the anger and frustration she felt a few minutes ago overflowing. "Then tell me the truth."

"Alright since you think you're such a big girl I'll tell you." He smirked in that challenging way. "After what Raccoon Eyes said to Shitty hair, it got me to thinking…and I realized that shit Ochaco, I've been bored this whole time too. Anytime I'd see a hot girl walk by it would be so hard not to respond back all because I didn't want to hurt your feelings. So, I figured 'hey you know what maybe it'll be worthwhile later'." He snickered. "But damn if I would have known how easy it was to get you in the sack, I would've tried it a lot sooner."

"Stop." With trembling lips, she saw him take a step closer as she took one back.

"Come on! You really thought you were the only one?" he chuckled. "How naïve could you be!"

"Why are you saying all this?!"

"Because it's true! I never cared about you. Why would I care for someone so damn weak?"

"I don't believe you." She shook her head, turning to walk away but heard his steps not far behind.

"Think about it Ochaco, why would I waste my time on someone when all my focus is on becoming number one huh? Why would I jump at the chance to leave this place last year?"

"Stop!"

"Oi if you couldn't handle it like a big girl, then you should've told me sooner-" Stumbling back from the impact, he winced and automatically grabbed his cheek as she lowers her fists.

"Don't ever come near me again." She seethed between clenched teeth and turning on her heels made sure to be as far away as possible, unaware of the small smile growing on his face and the red irises turning yellow.

Running as fast as her legs would take her, she didn't heed her name being called over and over again as she quickly dodged and weaved her way through the forest surrounding UA until the loud drumming of her heart could be heard over everything else. Forcing the tears back she shook her head. No, she wasn't going to cry, she wasn't going to let anyone get the benefit of watching her cry. But the pain in her chest just kept growing more and more until she found herself walking outside the gate and stumbled onto a small park that looked somewhat abandoned.

Sniffling, she rubbed her nose and the few tears that threatened to leave her, heading for the swings and clutching the jacket tighter to her body until a small noise caught her attention thinking it was Bakugo still following her. "Katsuki just leave me alone."

"W-who is that?" A small voice whimpered.

Snapping her head in the direction of the small sniffling noise, she could see a crying child quietly sitting at the end of a small worn out merry-go-round.

"Hey, are you ok?" she softly asked watching the girl shake her head as tears continued to drop down on her little dress. "What are you doing out here all by yourself?"

Stubbornly wiping her face, the little girl remained quiet, staring at the ground with quivering lips. "I-I'm not supposed to talk to strangers."

Exhaling loudly Uraraka nodded understanding that she was correct. She couldn't worry about Bakugo right now, not when this little girl clearly looked frightened and needed help. "Are you lost?"

Nodding, the girl felt Uraraka quietly sit next to her, and she shyly moved away making the merry go round creak in protest.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you sweetie." Uraraka smiled warmly hoping to at least get some information out of her. "My name's Ochaco Uraraka. I'm a hero in training at that school over there." She pointed towards the large building.

"You are?" The girl continued to wipe her face staring at her now with hopeful eyes. "Y-you think you could help?"

"Of course. That's what heroes do." she smiled seeing the small smile she received in return. "Don't worry, I'll get you back to whoever is probably searching for you."

"T-thank you."

"No problem." Tilting her head Uraraka reached over to wipe another tear from her eyes. "You shouldn't be out here this late."

"Where you crying too Ms. Uraraka?" the little girl gestured to her cheeks.

"You can call me Ochaco." With a sad smile Uraraka nodded. "Yeah, it's silly. Even I can get sad at times."

"It's not silly."

"I guess not." Uraraka said reaching her hand out to brush the little girl's long white hair from her face. "You got beautiful hair you know that?"

"Thank you." The girl happily giggled swinging her legs. "I can tell we're going to become the best of friends Ochaco."

Furrowing her brows at the rising uneasiness deep within her belly and the eerie silence that followed, Uraraka slowly nodded watching the little girl next to her. "What's your name?"

Smiling, the girl turned her green eyes to meet her brown ones as the brunettes' eyes slowly widened at her next words. "I'm Hana."
