Fidgeting with her finger pads she awkwardly looked around the office hoping to distract herself.

"Everything ok Ochaco?" Mrs. Uraraka said with a small smile, her eyes fixated on the computer screen.

"Mm-hmm." She smiled.

"And what time will you be home?" She turned to face her daughter.

"I shouldn't be long since it's just dinner." Just as she said that she heard knocking on the door.

"Come in." Mrs. Uraraka said smiling as soon she saw who it was. "Hello Bakugo, I trust your doing well?"

"Can't complain." he said shoving his hands in his pocket. "Just picking up pink cheeks over here."

"Right." Uraraka said, getting up and trying to cover her slight blush when her mom gave her a knowing smile.

"Ok have fun and drive carefully please." Mrs. Uraraka said, watching them leave before turning back to the computer.

"You ready?" Bakugo said running down the steps and waiting for her to catch up.

"Where's Kirishima?"

"Fucker decided to wait in the car." He said walking over to his car and opening the passenger side for her.

Smiling now that she could see it in the daytime and not heavily influenced by alcohol, she could truly see how beautiful it was but quickly shook that thought out of her head and got inside once she noticed Bakugo impatiently waiting for her with a hint of pink dusting his cheeks before he closed the door for her.

"Hey Uraraka! how's it going?" Kirishima greeted from the backseat.

"Great." She beamed at him giving him a hug while Bakugo walked around the car. "Did you want to sit up here?"

"Nah I'm good right here." He grinned his toothy grin giving her a slight wink.

"Are you sure?" she narrowed her eyes. "I don't mind."

"Oh no but I insist."

"Alright shut it both you." Bakugo grumbled, closing his door. "Idiot did you touch the radio again?!"

"Maybe…"

Rolling his eyes Bakugo changed it back to where he had it and started driving off.

Keeping her hands in her lap she started to nervously twiddle her thumbs trying to distract her racing mind while the Bakugo and Kirishima continued talking. She didn't mind going to eat with them but being stuck in a car and not just any car but Bakugos car- that smelled just like him she had no way to escape the moving vehicle so she was stuck having to sit this close to him smiling every so often when she would hear him chuckling. Another internal conflict she was having was the fact that before when she was tipsy-not drunk like others would disagree- she didn't think too much about it. But watching him drive stirred something inside her.

What was wrong with her? and not just that but he was a surprisingly calm and careful driver which part of her did remember.

"Hey Uraraka, you've been quiet." Kirishima pointed out, not that he needed to since Bakugo did nothing but keep his eyes between her and the road.

"Oh, I'm just thinking how nice the car is."

"Have you driven before?" Kirishima asked leaning forward in his seat genuinely curious.

Shaking her head, she felt somewhat embarrassed. "No, I never got the chance too." She quietly said, remembering how her dad had always wanted to but because of work they were always too busy, and she didn't want to burden them after a long day of work.

"Gotcha."

"How about we start now." Bakugo spoke after a minute.

"What?"

"What?!" Kirishimas eyes snapped back to the blond when he pulled the car over.

"No!" She widened her eyes and waved her hands in front of her in panic. "I don't think that's such a good idea!"

"Yeah, I second that." Kirishima nervously grinned. "No offense."

"It's fine alright. We still have time and we're only a few minutes from the house." he said, opening his door.

"No Bakugo I-"

"Look you'll never learn unless you try." He pointedly said waiting for her to come up with another excuse. "Come on Round-face let's switch."

Watching her get out Kirishima smiled at her. "Hang on Uraraka just give us a few seconds alright." When he saw her nod Kirishima swiftly turned to the blond grabbing a fistful of his shirt. "Does my life mean anything to you?!"

Frowning Bakugo removed his grip. "What kind of stupid question is that? you know it doesn't."

Left alone in the car Kirishima made sure his seatbelt was on. "Yeah, I'm going to die today."

After explaining everything Bakugo buckled his seatbelt making sure she was good and comfortable. "Alright now try and relax."

"Na-huh." she said with a shaky breath clutching the wheel for dear life.

"Uraraka please tell me you've at least been in the driver's seat before." Kirishima said with a small whimper in his voice.

"Uhm...does bumper cars count?" she nervously laughed missing the exchanged looks both boys gave. "Bakugo I'm really not sure about this…"

"Same." Kirishima lifted his hand while texting Mina his final goodbyes.

"Uraraka look at me." Feeling his lip twitch Bakugo tried to catch her eyes thinking how cute she looked. "You'll do fine ok. I wouldn't be here if I didn't think you could do it." He said, giving her a determined look and ignoring Kirishimas quiet whimpers. "Now let's go."

He wasn't sure exactly how long it's been, but Kirishima vaguely recalled his spirit leaving his body various times during the drive. He's been up against some tough opponents and none of them held a candle to this experience….

"This is so much fun!" Uraraka on the other hand was laughing and found she loved the feel of driving. Now she understood why most of her friends loved it too and by the looks on Kirishimas face he looked to be enjoying himself too. It also came as no surprise that Bakugo, just like with everything else he did was a good teacher.

"We're gonna die we're gonna die…." Kirishima continued to stare in horror at the road ahead.

"Ok ok now slow down…" Bakugo said sitting up in his seat. "Alright you see that house in the end there? Go ahead and very slowly drive up to it and park."

Jumping out of the car once it was parked, Uraraka's eyes were twinkling with excitement. "We should definitely do this again sometimes right Kirishima?!" she said skipping up to the front door. "Come on!"

As soon as she was out of earshot Bakugo let out a hysterical laughter, clutching his stomach and wiping his eyes while Kirishima struggled to pry his clawed fingers from the seat in front of him.

"Were not dead…?"

"Course not idiot." Bakugo grinned staring out the window at her waiting with her back turned.

"About time." She giggled once she saw them getting out of the car on somewhat shaky legs.

When Bakugo unlocked the door and gesture them inside, they quickly started taking their shoes off.

"Mom? Dad? I'm home!" Kirishima shouted receiving an odd look from Uraraka. "I come here often." He explained.

"MY BABIES!" Mitsuki shouted running out of the kitchen and wrapping them in a tight hug.

"Um…HELLO!" Bakugo glared from behind his mother.

"Oh, Katsuki it's just you." Mitsuki rolled her eyes. "I see you everyday. Go back to school."

"Tch, ugly old bat." He mumbled walking past them and into the kitchen where his dad was.

"So how have you two been?"

"Well, we're still alive so there's that." Kirishima smiled.

"So Uraraka how did you like you're first-time driving?" Masaru asked during dinner.

"I liked it more than I thought I would." She smiled, placing food in her mouth.

"Well, that's good to hear." He smiled before looking at his son. "How did she do?"

Wiping his mouth Bakugo thought for a minute. "With a lot more practice she'll do fine."

"Alright well whenever you want, I can take you." Mitsuki affectionately patted her hand.

Coughing into his drink Bakugo shared a look with his dad.

"It's alright dear, Katsuki and I can take her whenever she wants." Masaru warmly smiled. "Oh, and by the way have I told you about this new line we just announced." Masaru looked at Uraraka, receiving an eager smile from his wife when she started to go into detail.

After dinner Bakugo found himself outside enjoying the night breeze while everyone was still inside talking.

"Ready to talk?"

Grunting, he felt his dad walking up to stand next to him staring at the sky. "You know you've been quite stubborn since you were a child."

"Well, that's a good way to start." Bakugo chuckled knowing his dad had something to say. "Why not just get to the point old man."

"And that too." Masaru mussed aware that his son was never one to beat around the bush, and was thankful that even though his son had a tough exterior, that when it came down to it he always knew what was going on through his sons head and would make sure Katsuki knew his dad would lent him a listening ear whenever he needed it, which is why he knew most of what was going on in his son's life. "The question is pretty obvious wouldn't you say. Why are you out here when you could be in there?"

"And the answer is obvious too." Smirking Bakugo gave him a sideways glance.

"Touché." Smiling Masaru looked back up at the darkened sky. "You know it's perfectly normal to be scared."

"I'm not." Bakugo scowled.

"I know. But if you are I know it's because you're scared to feel that pain again…to feel heartbreak which is a human emotion we all go through one time in our lives. Without it there's no room to grow as a person and learn from." Chuckling Masaru looked at his son who now stood shoulder to shoulder with him if not a bit taller making him feel nostalgic.

Parting his mouth Bakugo stared hard at the ground before speaking again. "I messed up. I said things I shouldn't have said and now they're coming to bite me in the ass. I was…so mad that I didn't even give her a chance to explain. I guess you're right…part of me is still hesitant after that but…a bigger part just wants to be with her. But I know I've got to make it up to her first." He bitterly chuckled. "That is if she'll even take me back..."

"Oh?"

Turning his body, Bakugo took one look at the door separating them from inside and meeting his father's gaze. "I'm no quitter."

Nodding Masaru looked back at the sky. "You know, your mother and I hit some rough patches along the way, so no relationship is ever perfect. There might be times when you agree on some things but other times you can't even see yourselves without them. But the point is for both sides to keep trying and knowing it will work out in the end if you really care for each other."

"Now you're starting to sound like shitty hair."

"Well, I'll take that as a compliment then." Masaru laughed, placing his hand on his shoulder and turning to leave. "Oh, and Katsuki?"

"Yeah?"

"I would get in there soon if I were you. If I'm not mistaken… your mother started pulling out albums."

"What kind of albums?" Bakugo scrunched his face in confusion before he stared at his dad in horror. "No…"

"Yeah…" Masaru grimaced. "Sorry son."

"You could've told me that from the start!"

Sliding the door open Bakugo gawked at the photo album his mother was now holding 'Katsuki Memory'.

Waving her hand in front of her face Uraraka tried to control her breathing along with Kirishima who was wheezing trying to talk.

"P-Please…tell it again!"

"Well, you see…" Mitsuki smiled. "Since he saw that little Izuku had an All Might Onesie, Katsuki wanted one too but they were sold out. So, one day I caught him trying to make his own version with some of my supplies from work which had me worried at first. But come to find out that boy had a knack for it." She pointed at a picture of a ash blond child grinning proudly at the camera.

"Oh wow!" Uraraka covered her mouth smiling. "That's adorable!"

Laughing Kirishima shook his head. "Tell it again! Please!"

"Oh, and I haven't even shown you the one where he tried to get potty trained…."

"DON'T YOU DARE YOU BITTER OLD WITCH!" His whole body shook trying to contain the rage inside

"Bakugo these are too cute!" Uraraka's face lit up when she saw him standing there.

"Oh, Katsuki your back." Mitsuki smirked at the flustered face of her son.

Wiggling his fingers Kirishima gave a mischievous grin. "Hi Bakubro, nice onesies."

"Those better be your last words!" Bakugo roared lunging towards him.

"DAMMIT KATSUKI NO EXPOSIONS IN THE HOUSE!"

Lazily blinking her eyes open she glared at the obnoxious alarm clock staring back at her next to her bed debating on whether or not she should even make the effort to sleep for another 10 minutes.

Today was the first day back after summer vacation and she was already dreading getting out of bed.

"Come on babe, out of bed already!"

Groaning, she reluctantly rolled out of bed giving a small glare to her surprisingly bright and bubbly friend. "Mina how long have you been here?"

Walking out of her bathroom Mins grinned at her friends' obvious distaste for waking up early. "I tried to wake you up earlier, but you were knocked out. I guess you're still reeling from yesterday?" she questioned.

Stretching out her sore muscle, she nodded before laying out her uniform. "Yeah, I'm actually surprised you're not doing the same considering you had it the worse after dealing with that villain."

Lifting her finger to her cheek, Mina slowly nodded. "Yeah, I guess that was pretty scary."

"You think?" Uraraka asked over her shoulder. "By the time we got there she had you in a death grip. What did she even say to you?"

"Nothing much. She just hugged me which was weird…" Mina waved off. "I'll never understand some of them I swear. Now come on hurry and get ready we don't want to be late!"

Frowning Uraraka looked down at her clothes. "What do you think?"

Winking Mina nodded in approval. "You definitely should try them, maybe you'll like it."

"I guess I could, wouldn't hurt to try." She said lifting the pair of socks up.

"Yup, besides it's so freaking hot outside!" Mina groaned fanning her face. "It's September for crying out loud this should be a crime!"

Giggling Uraraka started getting ready for the day having to agree with Mina. Usually during this time, it was still warm but not like it has been. Not even a minute after their short walk from the dorms to the school they already felt like they were burning alive in an oven.

Speed walking to the girl's bathroom, she splashed some cold water on her face seeing her cheeks rosier than usual and opting to put her hair up instead. 'Alright that shoulder help for now.'

Looking at her phone she saw she only had five minutes left before class and quickly dashed down the hall making it just in time as the bell rang. With a relived sight she started walking to her seat trying her best to ignore the eyes on her suddenly very much aware that she wasn't wearing her usual school tights.

Leaning back in his seat listening to a conversation damn Pikachu and Tape face were having Bakugo heard the bell ring when his eyes caught Uraraka rushing inside and hastily heading to her seat. He couldn't help but slowly lean forward in his seat as his eyes followed her flushed cheeks, the sway of her hair, down to her slim waist, the curve of her hips making him gulp at the dark blue-green pleated skirt dangerously swish around in all the right places as she happily bounced to her seat, and dragged his eyes all the way down to her exposed… 'Holy hell!'

He was pretty sure his eyes were as big as saucers but couldn't dwell on it for long when his seat jolted forward face planting harshly on his desk making him wince. "Fuck!"

Luckily for him no one was paying attention, which he was both thankful for but also pissed off knowing where everyones attention was currently at. Didn't they have class? Shouldn't all these fuckers be worrying about that instead of looking at his- at one of their classmates!

Feeling his own heart racing when his traitorous eyes turned to stare at the back of the classroom when his eyes met an amused Kirishima's already staring back at him leaning his chin on his palm grinning like a Cheshire cat that made the blond swiftly turn away truly wanting blow him to bits.

Snapping his head forward just as Mr. Aizawa started talking, Bakugo slammed his face down on his desk hoping the solid cool surface would help cool him off and remove those impure thoughts that made him feel like a damn sidekick to fuckin grape face. This was going to be a long day…

And just as luck would have it, he found himself standing in line during lunch staring hard at what Lunch Rush had to offer that day with a stiff and shaking postured, hands stuffed deep in his pockets. To an outside observer it would seem that everything was just fine.

"Woah dude. You seem really interested in the menu today." Sero frowned trying to see what they were serving.

It was currently lunch time so the whole cafeteria was live and loudly which in Bakugos ears didn't really register since he was currently doing his best not to turn around. Opting instead to dry his overly sweaty palms on his pants and pull out his water bottle, desperately trying to ignore her standing so close behind and accidentally getting a whiff of her strawberry shampoo.

Giggling Uraraka listen to what Deku and Tsu had to say about their upcoming English test and would find herself stealing little glances here and there to the trio standing in line in front of them. It was strange really, out of everyone today Bakugo was doing a good job at acting like she wasn't even there which to some degree made her frown in disappointment thinking that they were making progress in becoming friends again.

Even though she was surprised at how much she actually did enjoy wearing the socks compared to her tights since it help relieve some of the heat, but a small part of her was hoping to elicit some kind of reaction from the blond even maybe just a glance of acknowledgement…anything really.

"I don't know Midoriya I usually don't say this, but this English test has me a little worried. Ribbit."

"How come?" Deku asked staring down at Tsu.

Lifting a finger to her chin Tsu thought for a moment. "Well, some of the English words get confusing or I just get them mixed up."

Gently smiling Deku understood what she meant. Tsu usually didn't have any problems when it came to school so that was a bit odd. "If you like I could help you study." He offered.

"Really?" she said looking up. "Thanks that would help. I was talking to Mina earlier and she suggested the same thing since I'm having trouble concentrating."

"I'm sure you're not the only one anxious about this test, I know I am." Uraraka smiled. "What exactly are you having issues with when it comes to them?"

"Well, for starters figuring out the past tense of some words like…." Tsu hummed looking around the cafeteria and finding the words in English. "E-eat."

"Ate." Uraraka smiled.

"Cling?"

"Clung" Deku nodded.

"'D-dream' I believe it is?"

"I'm sure it would be 'dreamed.'"

"Huh…" Tsu mused. "Ok how about 'eject'?"

"Um…Ejaculated?" Uraraka tiled her head questioningly until she heard Bakugo spit his water out frantically couching and punching his chest hard.

"Yo dude you alright?" Kaminari asked removing his gaze from the food and seeing Sero slapping Bakugos back.

Ignoring the commotion in front of them Uraraka looked at Deku again who had his red face covered. "Well, isn't that it? Ejaculated?"

"W-where did y-you hear t-that?" Deku stuttered out.

Nodding proudly, Uraraka smiled. "Mina told me word of the day!"

'Note to self, kill fuckin Raccoon eyes!' Bakugo mentally scribbled down feeling his eyes water from coughing.

"Where is Mina anyways?" Uraraka asked, letting her eyes look around.

"She said her, and Kirishima had a lunch date or something." Tsu said. "Now back to that word-"

"You mean ejaculated?"

"I don't think you should keep saying that." Deku removed his hands from his face in defeat.

Giggling Tsu locked eyes with her. "I don't think that's the correct word. You see ejaculated is when-"

"TSU PLEASE!" Deku started waving his hands just as his childhood friend quickly stepped out of the lunch line and exited the cafeteria. "W-why don't you discuss this later!"

Giving Deku a playful smile Tsu nodded. "Ok."

The rest of the day went pretty smoothly in her opinion except she hardly saw Mina unless it was during class which was odd for the girl. So, when the last bell rang and she started gathering her things, she along with some of the others quickly stopped after Bakugo basically sprang out of the classroom still frantically stuffing his books in his bag.

'Huh, guess he's in a hurry.'

"Hey girl!"

Startled, she saw Mina sling her arm over her shoulder immediately erasing any thoughts on what had just happened. "H-hey, is everything alright?"

"Yup! Never better." Mina grinned walking alongside her to the lockers. "I just have all this energy today where I can't just… sit still you know."

Giggling, Uraraka opened her locker. "So, nothing new."

Wiggling a finger at her, Mina leaned in. "Besides I've just been playing catch up with Kiri since I've missed him during the break."

"Ok…"

"Hey, you know what we should do?"

"What?"

"Let's get together for a study session!"

Lifting a brow Uraraka had to do a double take before answering her. "You want to set up a study session today?"

"Yeah, why not. I already invited all the girls including class B."

"Really?" Uraraka closed her locker now intrigued and remembering what Tsu said earlier.

"Yeah, come on it'll be fun." Mina gave a sly smile before giving her a friendly hug. "Say you'll come please."

Staring at her Uraraka felt herself slowly nodding without realizing it before Mina placed a kiss on her cheek. "That's my girl."

The next morning Uraraka found herself drenched in sweat when she awoke an hour before her alarm clock was set to go off. Groaning, she laid back down as the huge growing headache made her eyes hurt and eventually found herself exiting the elevator already dressed for school. She noticed a few of her classmates already awake and eating breakfast or watching the news on tv.

Deciding it was a good idea and probably would help alleviate her headache, she walked into the kitchen greeted by Shoji, Sero, Kaminari, Sato and Tokoyami sitting around the counter eating.

"Hey Uraraka, ready for another day?" Kaminari asked digging into his bowl.

Wincing, she rubbed her temple once more, walking over to the fridge. "Y-yeah once this headache goes away."

Stiffening the moment, he heard her voice and cursing under his breath standing by the sink, Bakugo looked over his shoulder and felt his eyes almost bulge out when she slightly bends over, digging through the fridge with her school skirt dangerously riding up making him nervously look away. 'Fuckin hell doesn't she know there's a room full of fuckin guys! She can't be that naïve.'

Letting out a loud huff Uraraka pouted not finding anything she liked until her eyes brightened up at the sight of a large bowl of strawberries on the counter next to their explosive friend. "Strawberries!"

"Hah?" Tilting his head, he saw her skipping over practically already drooling.

"Could I have some?" she asked pleadingly, staring hungrily between him and the bowl of strawberries he was washing.

"No."

"Oh, come on! please?"

Squinting his eyes, he looked away grumbling. "Fine, whatever."

Grinning, she hopped on the counter next to him happily swinging her legs until she crossed them, fidgeting with the cuffs of her black socks.

"Do you have to fuckin sit there?" he glared gesturing to the counter where the guys were. "Sit your ass over there like a normal person round-face."

"Why?" she said plucking one of the sweet red berries from the top of the pile giving him a teasing smile. "Don't want me here?"

Scoffing, he parted his mouth to ready to respond but stopped short when he saw her lift it to her soft lips and take a bite, letting out a barely audible moan of satisfaction in the process.

"That's good." She gently opened her mouth before taking another slow bite whilst keeping her eyes fixed on his as a small tingle ran up and down his skin.

'Keep your shit together idiot!' he mentally scolded himself quickly clearing his throat. He saw the mischievous smile she gave him before he glanced over his shoulder and glared at the others who were gawking at her.

Redirecting his attention to washing the rest of the strawberries as fast as he humanly could, he heard her giggle next to him.

"Want one?" she asked, hopping off the counter and plucked another one from the pile, now standing next to him with her hand outstretched when he silently shook his head. "Are you sure?" she bit her lip discreetly leaning forward at the same time she playfully placed the strawberry next to her lips.

Parting his mouth, he had to force himself to remain in place the moment he felt himself slowly lean in, eyes fixated on her mouth. Shaking his head again a little more forcefully he swiftly reached over, snatching the bowl out of her reach. "And you can't have anymore."

Shrugging her shoulders, she kept her gaze out the window while she continued to eat. And God did she have to be so loud about it too! 'It's fuckin strawberries Katsuki! Have some damn control!'

In moments like these he was glad that his hands were currently under cold water otherwise he knew something in this damn kitchen would combust.

"Thanks." She smiled licking her lips which made his crimson eyes now land on her soft and juicy lips following a trail of its left-over red juice trailed down the side of them.

Unable to come up with any coherent words at the moment he handed her a nearby towel, watching her from the corner of his eye as she gave him a sheepish grin in return and slowly wiped it with her right thumb a second before lifting it to her mouth and did the unthinkable.

Shifting slightly, he felt his breath hitch in his throat when she licked around her thumb before slowly placing it in her mouth and giving a shy smile. "So yummy."

Dropping the strawberries he held in his hands into the sink, he felt his whole face burning, heart pounding in his ears and shamefully felt his pants tighten to a point he had to discreetly lean to the side. Never once had he ever thought that something as unsanitary as that could make him react this way. 'Fuckin hormones!'

But then again it was Uraraka, so it didn't take much for something to get a reaction out of him. Hell, she could wear a damn clown suit and he would still think she was the most beautiful woman in the room.

"Did I get it?" she innocently asked, tilting her head and was startled to see his shocked expression, lips parted.

"Y-yeah…" he hoarsely said turning to look away and refocus on the damn strawberries. Why was this taking so long!

Pressing her lips together she nodded wetting the towel he handed her and damping it against her face and neck as she made a satisfied noise pass through those lips…those lips he missed and desperately wanted to taste again.

Feeling himself twitch as he dragged his eyes down her neck following the wet trail she left behind until it landed on the surprised opening of her school shirt right below her collar bone and down…

"Uraraka."

Whirling her head in the direction of the kitchen entrance she saw Tokoyami glaring at everyone. "Tokoyami what's up?" she smiled.

"Class will be starting soon. We should get going."

"Ok." she beamed, putting the towel away and skipped up to walk past Tokoyami figuring he'd follow close behind.

Giving one last look around the kitchen, Tokoyami shook his head before leaving. "You vultures."

After what felt like eternity Kaminari finally lifted his jaw off the floor along with everyone else unsure of what just occurred.

Unable to make sense of anything himself Bakugo continued to stare down at the sink, his hands now trembling until everyone started heading out one by one until all that was left was him. 'No way…no fuckin way…' Turning his head towards the entrance he tried to calm the pounding in his chest and scuff down any thoughts racing in his hazed mind. 'What the hell just happened?!'
