"Man I'm so bored!" Kaminari groaned laying on the sand covering his eyes with his arms with the hundred-degree heat burning down on them. It was already past noon and even with the slight breeze, the air remained thick and hot making these last few days feel like entering a sauna.
"Then go swimming." Jirou said leaning against one of the trees playing her guitar and trying to take advantage of the little shade as much as she could.
"I already did." He said gesturing to his swim trunks. "Glad I brought these along. Hey, do you know if Uraraka brought any good books to read?"
"Huh? I'm not sure." Mina said, thinking the same thing before lifting her phone. "need another recharge."
Groaning Kaminari dragged himself over to the pink girl. "I don't get how you keep using all the battery so quickly, we don't even have any signal here."
"Thanks."
"Alright I'm going to see what the guys are up to." He stood dusting some of the sand off his body unaware that Jirous was discreetly watching him. "-Or the girls, who knows maybe they'll be up for a dip in the water." He winked before leaving.
"So hopeless…" Mina shook her head.
"Definitely." Yaoyorozu sighs, turning the page of a magazine she was reading.

"I'm not waiting on you!" Bakugo shouted begrudgingly walking deeper into the forest getting more and more annoyed every second since strolling through the muggy island proved to be somewhat difficult, especially when you didn't have anything in hand to make a clean path. You couldn't even make it two meters without breaking into a sweat, which wasn't hard considering that's all they've been doing these last few days and thus he was considered a safety hazard according to his stupid friends. "When we get back Mr. Aizawa is going to get a fuckin ear full from me." He growled. "Probably trying to get rid of us to make time with that green haired clown lady."
Finally stepping out of the bushes he looked over his shoulder surprised that his friends were still taking their sweet time to go swimming. Not that it mattered since he preferred this place quiet and still enjoyed the part about how tranquil and unspoiled the place really was with the cascading of a small waterfall on the other side of the stream.
Maybe it was better that the guys were taking forever, that way he could enjoy at least a few more minutes of peace before they arrived, and all chaos broke loose.
Removing his shirt, he quickly jumped in already wearing his swim trunks and grinning the moment the water touched his burning skin, but all calmness disappeared when he heard a loud scream coming from the area by the waterfall where he saw a startled Uraraka quickly dip under the water until it reached her chin with an unusual shade of red on her face.
"YOU!" she narrowed her eyes into slits.
"Yeah, it's just me." he said with a worried tone and knitted brows. "What's with the screaming round-face? See a shark?'
"WHAT?!"
Finding it still amusing to get a rise out of her any chance he gets, he grinned to himself swimming closer to the waterfall.
"What are you doing here?!" she screeched in panic, nervously looking around.
"Obviously same as you." He said closing his eyes and letting the water hit his face before shaking his thick hair.
Taking small, calculated steps away, Uraraka's never felt so embarrassed in her entire life pretty sure that even if she was to duck her whole face underwater it still wouldn't cool the heat from her face. All she had wanted to do was take a nice long shower, knowing not a lot of people came here around this time. So, the gap between her and all her clothes was a pretty big one without him noticing her current situation.
Out of all people why did he have to be here!?
Subconsciously tightening her arms around her chest and lower region, she had to admit that this wasn't an entirely bad view to look at, shamefully letting her mind take a mental picture of the way the water just continuously splashed and cascade down his ash blond hair, down his face, neck and tanned muscular chest, all the way down his chiseled abs only stopping at the waist…
'Ok Ochaco you're drooling again and still naked!' Scolding herself for even having these thoughts in the first place she snapped her eyes back up, locking eyes with him already staring back at her with a weird expression on his face. 'Great, now he thinks I'm crazy.'
"You, ok?"
Pressing her lips together she gave a firm nod, maneuvering herself closer to her clothes. "I-I just need to go."
Scoffing, he jumped back in keeping his head above the water, slowly swimming towards her. "Oi why the hurry? It's not like this damn place isn't big enough for everyone."
The moment she saw his head lower her eyes grew the size of saucers. "Bakugo!"
Jerking his head up in alarm when he saw the expression on her face immediately thinking the worst. "What-what's wrong?!"
She quickly lifted one hand in front of her to keep him away. "J-just stay over there!"
Frowning he stared at her quizzically for a minute until he remembered what she had asked of him. "Look I get it ok..."
"G-good." She puffed her cheek out. "So just d-don't come any closer!" she desperately said aware of the hurt flicker in his eyes.
Swallowing down his frustration he let his eyes hover over her left shoulder. "I just wanted to make sure you were ok, you seemed pretty mad earlier when I woke up."
"I am!" she said feeling the fury from earlier come back to the surface. "That was a dumb thing to do!"
"What sleeping?" he said with amusement in his tone as he started to swim backwards. "Didn't know that was a damn crime last I checked."
"You know what I mean." Rolling her eyes, she stepped a little further away once he started moving closer again.
"Do you really think I'm that fuckin stupid to just eat anything?" he asked, narrowing his eyes when she raised an eyebrow. "I don't get it; are you seriously mad now because I tried to find more things for everyone to eat?"
"No, I'm mad because I thought that after eating that that you would…" letting out a deep breath of frustration she shook her head looking away. "Just forget it."
"You were worried." he stated rather than a question. Tilting his head, he watched her carefully.
"I-I wasn't! I just w-wanted to make sure everyone was ok." she quickly said. "I would've done that with anyone."
"Well as you can see, I'm still here." He said, lifting his arms on either side of him before turning his back and swimming in the other direction, already irritated that she wouldn't admit it. "I'll let you be."
Already feeling his absence, she repeatedly opened her mouth but thought better of it and instead turned to get to her clothes.
"You know what, you're the most confusing girl I've ever met!"
"What?!" she whipped around making sure she was still deep in the water, her hands once again securely wrapping around herself.
"Yeah, you heard me." He scowled rapidly swimming back towards her.
"Bakugo please go!"
"No. We're going to talk."
"Now?! You want to do this now?!"
"You tell me that you want nothing to do with me. Yet get worried when you think something might happen to me." He said ignoring the way her eyes grew the more he got closer.
"But I never said I didn't want to be friends before!"
Rubbing his head, he balked at her. "I can't just be friends with you. Don't you get it? I want-"
"Well, you didn't seem to be having that problem before." she said, dipping further into the water and moving away once again.
It took everything he had to keep his emotions in check, fixing her with a firm look. "Uraraka, I don't know what else to tell you for you to believe me, to believe that it's only you I want."
When she felt the rim of her eyes filling with tears, she had no option but to look away.
"If you're so sure that I did any of that stuff, then ask Shitty hair about the condoms or shit even ask fuckin Sparky what happened the other night -I don't care!" Placing one hand on the grass to prevent her from moving, he saw the panicked look on her bright red face.
"B-Bakugo…please…" her voice trembled, eyes catching on the silver around his neck before averting her eyes off to the side. 'He's too close…one wrong move and….'
Furrowing his brows at how uncomfortable she looked at his proximity made him feel as though she really didn't want anything else to do with him. But what threw him off was the way she averted her gaze with her face turning redder and redder with every passing second. Following the direction her eyes were fixated on he could see a pile of clothing neatly folded behind a big rock by the edge of the stream.
'Wait…if her clothes are there…' The moment he realized the reason for her odd behavior was the same moment the heat traveled all the way to his face and to the tips of his ears. "Oh fuck…" he breathed out taking just one look at her to confirm what he already knew. 'She's…'
Jumping a few feet away he quickly turned his back, nearly slipping in the process but caught himself continuously splashing water all over the place. "Damn it Round-face you should've said something!"
"How?!"
"I don't know!" Placing his hands on top of his head and snapping his eyes shut, he forced his teenage mind to try and block everything that threatened to come out. He could vividly hear his mother scolding him and smacking him to get his shit together. "Shit!"
She didn't know whether to feel embarrassed, insulted or amused at his flustered state as he continued to curse under his breath and seemed to be having a conversation with himself…?
She couldn't help but find it adorable and sweet that he didn't want to make her any more uncomfortable than she already was. "Bakugo-"
"Just hurry and get dress!" he barked hearing her giggle. "Don't make me turn around!" he threatened knowing he most definitely wouldn't, but at least that'll get her moving faster.
"Look out below!"
Snapping his eyes open the moment he heard various splashes, he cursed himself for not getting her out sooner. "Oh shit…"
"EEP!" Ducking back down just as she was so close to grabbing her clothes, she saw Sato, Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, Awase and Kaibara jumping off a large nearby rock each sporting their swim trunks before splashing into the water.
"Move it Cheeks!" Bakugo shouted, taking several steps backward and clumsy landing repeatedly on his back to somehow help cover her as the guys approached.
"Hey Uraraka, didn't know you'd be here." Sero smiled swimming over to them with the others who were laughing and splashing each other.
"This isn't happening…" she whimpered hoping against hope that none of them would dare see anything, grateful that the explosive boy was doing his best to help with that. "This is the worse shower ever!" she whispered to herself.
"WOAH!" Placing his hands in front of him to stop them, Bakugo started grinding his teeth at the curious faces of his friends. "Back the fuck off, NOW!"
"Hey what gives?" Kaminari said scratching his head wondering what was up with him.
"Yeah, a little swim never bothered anyone." Awase chuckled swimming and stopping next to her. "Right Uraraka?"
"R-right." She forced a smile stepping away until Bakugo placed himself in between them.
"Hey, let's play a game whoever makes it to the other end wins." Kirishima lifted his fist knowing that something was off.
"Alright!" Sero grinned. "You guys in?"
"O-oh I um…I'll pass this time." She gave them a kind smile. "Maybe next time."
"Get ready to lose." Bakugo gave his usual competitive smirk waiting for them to count off until he saw them already swimming up ahead making sure to keep his eyes forward. "Round-face!"
"Got it!" she shouted, already in the process of pulling on her clothes as quickly as she could and watching as he followed after the guys no doubt intending to win.

By the end of the week everyone was ready to go back home. Even Yaoyorozu who was beyond her limit and making sunblock lotions and anything else they needed without much push back. They were however surprised that they still hadn't heard anything from any of the teachers.
They had assumed that by this time the exercise or whatever this was would be over and done, so logically they were leaning now towards the worst-case scenario. So, by the time it was dinner time they were once again huddled against the fire eating their food with little conversations here and there while Jirou continued to play her guitar counting herself lucky that it survived not just the crash but also Bakugos temper as he mentioned just wanting to throw it in the fire.
"Alright, who's next?" Jirou looked around at everyone who made it a point to not look directly at her. "Oh, come on! We can't be the only ones always singing." she said gesturing to her, Kaminari, Bakugo and surprisingly Kirishima. "Iida?"
Clearing his throat, he shook his head. "I'm afraid I'm not much of a singer."
"Shinso? Midoriya?" she asked while they shook their heads until her eyes landed on a very nervous Uraraka who did her best to look anywhere but Jirou. "Ochaco?"
"No I'm good…"
"Come on. You've got a killer voice, we've heard you!"
Giggling Uraraka shook her head again. "No, I don't."
"Guys?" Jirou looked at everyone who gave her shouts of agreement. "Please? If you do, then I won't bother you anymore to join our band." Jirou grinned knowing she won. "Hey dude give her the playlist." She said nudging Bakugo who glared back at her.
"Don't fuckin tell me what to do ears!" Pressing her lips together to keep the smile at bay, she saw Bakugo leaning forward offering his phone and pointing his index finger to the screeen. "Pick one."
"Ok…" As a warm breeze swirled around her, she shyly tried to tame her hair and started scrolling through the list, most she'd never heard of before as unaware Bakugo eying her curiously to see what she'd pick.
"Well?"
"Huh?" Looking up she saw him and Jirou staring expectably at her. "Oh um…this?" she randomly pointed at a song.
"Oh, that's a good one." Jirou grinned.
"No way." Bakugo shook his head giving her the phone back. "Pick something else."
"What why?" Jirou lifted a brow. "I like it."
"Don't care, pick something else."
"But I picked this one." Uraraka matched his stern gaze with her own.
"Come on man, just play it." Kirishima yawned, getting himself comfortable in his makeshift bed next to Mina.
Rolling his eyes Bakugo felt Jirou and Kaminari playfully nudging him until he growled snatching the guitar. "Fuckin fine, give me the damn thing!"
"Why you? I don't mind helping her." Kaminari teasingly smiled.
"I've got it." He said keeping his eyes down.
Having missed their whole interaction Uraraka was too busy listening to part of the song to try and understand how it would go. 'Why does this sound so familiar…?'
"Ready?"
Silently nodding Uraraka gave everyone a sheepish smile. "I'm not the best at this…"
"Don't worry, neither are we." Mina laughed.
"Ok…" Taking a deep breath in she waited for Bakugo to start, trying to ignore the sudden nerves and fluttering feelings in her stomach once she heard him sing and a bit taken off guard by the sudden somber look on his face as he peeked over at her.
"I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away.
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.
"You've gone away, you don't feel me here anymore."
Turning his head he carefully nodded for her to understand it was her turn as she looked down at the screen of his phone as she sang.
"The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away.
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain."
Making sure to follow him along she tried not to look at everyone listening otherwise her nerves would double.
"'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away."
Taking a deep breath she glanced up to see his eyes on her as he continued to play.
"Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away."
Letting him finish off the song she couldn't remove her eyes from watching so many emotions run through his eyes all at once. She was sure no one else caught it since they were busy getting themselves comfortable for the night and just listening.
"You've gone away
You don't feel me here anymore…"
As soon as the song ended, he didn't hesitate to shove the instrument back at Jirou. "There, happy!" he barked quickly, getting to his feet and walking off.
"That was really good you guys!" Jirou gushed. "Alright who's next?"
"Not too shabby." Mina grinned.
Starring after his retreating form she simply nodded wondering what was wrong. "Thanks…"

"So, what was that about?" Kirishima lazily stretched his arms in front of him facing the ocean. Despite Bakugo's protest he decided to follow him out here and could hear the faint laughing and noises coming from where everyone was still sitting around the fire.
"Nothing."
"Alright." With a sideways glance Kirishima simply nodded keeping quite until his bro was ready to talk. If they weren't in the situation they were in, he definitely would enjoy moments like these. Maybe after graduating he would look into nice vacation spots possibly with a certain pink girl…
"After what happened with her dad, while you were in the hospital…" Bakugo exhaled keeping his eyes forward and hands in his pockets. Normally he wouldn't even bother saying anything but knew Kirishima meant well. "She stayed over my house…" Thinking back on that day he remembered how distraught she was. "I can't even imagine how she must've been feeling…but regardless, I wanted to be there for her as much as I could."
"Well, that's good that you were man, very chivalrous of you."
"She fell asleep after a while…" his eyes soften, a ghost of a smile grazing his lips. "I don't even remember how long I stayed watching her to be honest. The feeling of her looking so at ease in my arms…always just feels so right you know. Makes me never want to let her go."
"Bro…" Turning his head Bakugo dramatically rolled his eyes when he saw Kirishima's tear-filled eyes. "Come on! I'm talking here."
"Sorry sorry." He sniffed. "Please continue."
"Anyways, that's when I sang that damn song to her, but she was fast asleep, so I doubt she remembers it."
"I get it now." Nodding Kirishima placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Doesn't matter anyways. She already made up her mind about me. In her eyes I'm nothing but a fuckin screw up." he frustratingly kicked at the sand before he continued walking along the shoreline with Kirishima in tow.
Stepping back and leaning against one of the trees Uraraka tried to swallow the lump in her throat before rushing back to their campsite.

Rain fell heavily on the island the next day as they desperately tried to use whatever they could to shield them from the harsh rain and wind, trying to keep the fire going just in case someone found them. The downpour started in the early morning and seemed like it would continue throughout the day with the gray clouds overhead not seeming to give in at any moment.
Having made a few more shelters by tying tarps along some of the nearby trees they all decided the only thing to do right now is to wait it out and hope it will stop soon.
"I am so over this." Mina whined painting her toenails and glaring at the sky. "You here me Mr. Aizawa?! Over it!"
"What else you got in there?" Kaminari curiously asked peeking into one of her many bags.
"Nothing that concerns you." Mina gave him a quick glare.
"Alright, well Mina's in one of her moods again." Sero snickered knowing she wasn't the only one in this weather.
"How about we play a few games?" Hagakure offered holding up a few cards.
"Sounds good to me." Sato said.
"I'll play." Tokoyami said.
"Hey has anyone seen Uraraka?" Tsu asked looking around.
"Said she had to use the restroom." Todoroki said shuffling the cards.
"I offered to go with her but seemed she knew her way around." Mina said turning to look back inside the forest.

Huffing, she tried to remember which way she came from, squinting up at the rain pouring down on her as she tried wrapping the raincoat Yaoyorozu had made for everyone closer to her body. But now she did regret not accepting their offer to go with her since the island had been abandoned for so long, nature had started to reclaim it and therefore it was becoming more and more difficult to find her way out.
After another 15 minutes of walking, she finally exited the treacherous trees, clumsily stumbling out when a tree branch decided to snag on her sleeve. "Come on!"
"You alright?"
Hearing that familiar gruff voice, she whipped her head around squinting to see Bakugo relaxed on top of a rock with his back turned. "I just erm…got turned around…." She pouted, still hating the way he always knew it was her without even looking. Begrudgingly she moved to stand next to the rock. "What are you doing out here? It's raining."
"Thanks, I didn't notice." He smirked, pulling his knee up continuingly watching the sunlight slowly starting to fade.
"You know what I mean." Rolling her eyes, she turned to leave but was stopped when he spoke again.
"Aways in such a hurry."
"Huh?" Turning halfway she saw him still staring off in the distance. "No, it's just… I don't want to intrude. You obviously came here for a reason."
"Tch." Scowling at the barely visible sun he felt her slowly walking closer. "It's fine."
Timidly sitting down next to him, she pulled her knees up resting her chin on them. Casting her eyes out towards the water where she could still see the waves in the distance and letting the sweet music of the sea wash over her along with the constant drops of rain.
It was still weird to her that despite being on this island it still felt peaceful and nice compared to the usual hustle and bustle of being back home. "This feels nice." Breathing in the salty smell of the beach mixed with rain she gave a small smile. "Being out here I mean. I know that it's weird to feel that way when we don't really know if they'll find us, but…this just feels like a nice break from everything..." Turning her head, she saw him still staring forward until she spoke again. "Is that the reason why you keep coming here?"
"Kind of." Slowly nodding he gave her a sideways glance. "I figured out why they must've sent us here. At least part of the reason."
"Really? Why?"
"They already know that we've been busting our asses nonstop and that from here on out things will just keep getting harder and harder, so it'll be good for us to take a moment for ourselves and remember why we're doing what we do in the first place." he shrugged, returning his gaze forwards. "That and some other shit that's going on in their stupid heads."
"Hmm…" Chewing on her bottom lip she thought about what he said and was surprised to know that he'd think something like that. But then again there was never a time he failed to amaze her. "I guess that would make sense in a way."
"Yeah." He scoffed keeping the comfortable silence until he settled her with an annoyed look. "Ask me."
"Huh?"
"Whatever it is that's on your mind ask me."
"Oh I-I don't…" she quickly blinked back the surprise deciding to just ask away instead nervously fidgeting with her fingers. "That song we sang the other day…have I heard it before?"
"Why ask me?"
"I don't know, I just thought I heard it before is all…" she waved her hand dismissively.
When he felt her brown eyes curiously staring at him from the corner of his eyes, he was thankful when they heard a loud splashing sound coming from the water.
He saw her smiling brightly. eyes the most beautiful shade of brown he's ever seen shine with excitement as a whale could be seen surfacing.
"Bakugo look!" She pointed unaware that she grabbed his arm with the child-like smile she continued to display making him give a warm smile in return "Wow, they're so pretty…" she softly said. "You know…one of the things I've always wanted to do was take my parents on a vacation to Hawaii…let them enjoy things like this."
"I know..."
Taken aback by the sudden quiet tone in his voice she turned her gaze to see him thoughtfully looking at the sand.
Giving him a small smile, she nodded once. "I-I also wanted to thank you for trying to help me…back inside the forest."
"Don't. Just… don't mention that shit alright." he said, making a face with pink dusting his cheeks.
"Ok." She gave a small giggle, scrunching up her nose when she felt a rain drop land on it.
"You're gonna catch a cold round-face."
"So could you." She countered, finding it funny how pieces of his wild ash blond strands were stubbornly peeking out from his hoodie like they didn't want to be restrained.
"I'll go back soon."
"Well then so will I." she playfully said grinning when he looked back at her until lightning streaked across the sky accompanied by loud thunder making her cover her face and yelp out.
Unable to help the sudden laughter rumbling in his chest he feverishly shook his head until she crossed her arms clearly annoyed now.
"Not funny!"
"Oh yes, it is!" He grinned, his laughter slowly dying down when he saw her annoyance grow, but as much as she was trying to hide it her eyes showed a hint of amusement when they continued to stare at him with a warm gleam to them. "Have I told you how rosier your cheeks have gotten since we've came here?"
"What?!" Placing her hands to her cheeks she felt her face flush even more when he gave her one of his rare smiles followed by ongoing laughter. "Bakugo do you always have to be like that?"
"Oi I never said it was a bad thing." He pointed out straightening his posture when he felt the sudden need to pinch them.
Pouting she turned her eyes forward, waiting a while to try and draw strength to what she had originally intended to talk to him about whenever she crossed path with him but also quite nervous about the outcome. "Bakugo…"
"Yeah?" he said watching the whales splashing around, noticing the quiet hesitation laced in her voice.
"Could…can you tell me what happened?"
"With what?" He frowned waiting for her to elaborate but after a minute of silence he curiously looked over to see her face turned away. "Uraraka?" when she clutched her knees tighter keeping her eyes down, he returned his gaze to the now darkened sky exhaling deeply. "Doesn't matter now does it. Figured you'd talk to one of the idiots about it by now."
Knitting her brows together at the hard tone, she snapped her eyes in his direction. "Well, I'm not, I'm asking you now."
Scoffing, he shook his head feeling the water from the tips of his hair drop down to his face. "Uraraka-"
"Bakugo. Tell me."
Stuffing his hands in the pockets of his hoodie he met her gaze before slowly nodding. "During the party, apparently someone was going around spiking the drinks and I happen to be one of the lucky bastards. That's why I was so fucked up."
"No way." she quietly said, remembering that night.
"Pikachu was too, so was Tape face. And so, when I decided to call it a night, I found him knocked out in the hall before helping him to my room to use the bathroom. While waiting for him that fuckin bitch that used to go to Shiketsu had followed us up…" he trailed off studying her reaction which turned from confusion to anger. "Don't worry I made it clear that if I see her again, I'll kill her."
"Wait you don't think…" Biting her lip to keep her anger in check she quickly shook her head. "How could someone do that?"
"You'd be surprised what some people are capable of." He coldly stated. "Anyway, long story short I told her to get lost and apparently she didn't like it, which is when I heard you came by from Sparky…"
Rapidly blinking at this new information, she stayed silent, only hearing the waves crashing against the rocks and her mind racing a mile per minute.
"Uraraka, I didn't do anything." Bakugo nervously looked away wiping his now sweaty palms against his pants not knowing what she was thinking or feeling…
"Anything else?" Her voice was cold and hard.
Clearing his throat, he felt his embarrassment reflect on his face. "As for the condoms…yes they're mine." He admitted really not wanting to look at her now knowing it must've been the same color as his. "This shit's embarrassing to admit, but the old man made me get them just in case after Mr. Aizawa called my parents when he caught you sleeping in my room that time, but I've never used them. Shitty hair had asked to borrow some after you girls went crazy like damn hyenas in heat."
Gaping at his comment she felt like her face couldn't get any hotter until she started laughing uncontrollably, making him now glare at the innocent whales.
"Glad this shit's funny to you." He rolled his eyes jutting out his lower lip thinking that she was doing this shit on purpose since he was laughing at her not long ago or maybe she just didn't believe him, or she did and didn't care.
"No." she giggled gently turning his face with the tips of her left fingers. "I'm just glad you finally told me…"
"Well, you didn't exactly make shit easy." he snapped before he blinked in confusion. "W-wait you believe me?"
Nodding she removed her hand. "I'm just sorry it took me a while to muster up the courage to listen...I was pretty mad."
Staring at her opened mouth he didn't know what to say. He was so sure she didn't want anything to do with him anymore but the way she was staring at him now made all those fears disappear.
"And hyenas in heat? Really?" Her smile grew when she heard him chuckle.
"It was pretty insane." He nervously glanced down at his hands until he felt her once again turn his face to hers. He could actually feel his heart jump when she slowly leaned forward, eyes drifting down to his lips until she timidly pressed her soft ones against his in a sweet tender kiss.
The moment they connected he felt all the stress and tension leave his body, his face growing warm when he quickly responded by caressing his lips with hers. When she pulled away, she stared wide eyed with her expression mirroring his own.
His pulse quickened, and it took everything he had not to bombard her with questions or possibilities, just wanting to close the distance between them once more.
Quietly placing her fingertips against her lips, she looked back at him both in shock and a bit uncertain, slowly being pulled back towards him by the arm, their lips barely an inch apart and eyes fluttering shut until there was movement from behind.
"No fair!"
Jumping apart they quickly looked away when Kaminari plopped himself in between them completely unaware of the interruption.
"This place sucks. Jirou totally bit my head off back there for now reason!"
"R-really?" She gave Kaminari a nervous smile startled to see Kirishima and Sero approaching them as well.
"Yeah." He huffed letting his eyes drag between both Uraraka and Bakugo with the latter glaring dangerously at him regardless of the pink dusting his cheeks. "Hey, I didn't interrupt anything did I?"
"Yes!"
"N-no!" Nervously playing with her hair could feel both sets of eyes on her now.
"Alright..." Titling his head he could see Bakugo quietly staring at her. "Anyway… help me Uraraka please!" Kaminari wailed furiously shaking her shoulders.
"Dude you were literally hitting on two girls right in front of Jirou!" Sero said face palming himself.
'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SHITHEADS EVEN DOING HERE?!" Bakugo barked jumping to his feet with his palms outstretch ready to blow them to pieces.
"Dude, I thought the rain messes with your quirk, how the heck are your hands so sweaty?" Sero scratched his head seeing the large sparks on his palms.
"There you are!" Mina emerged from the trees happily walking over to them.
"YOU TOO?!" Bakugo gaped. How the fuck did they managed to find them and why now?!
"Hey explody I was looking for Ochaco and definitely not ease dropping." Mina grinned when she saw his eye twitch.
"Guys a little help over here!" Kaminari flailed his arms.
Pressing her lips together Uraraka took advantage of the situation, sliding off the rock and following Mina. "You know what, I'll talk to you guys later."
"Alright, we'll met you guys back there!" Sero waved back, flinching when he saw Bakugos murderous gaze.
"You dumbasses have three minutes before I kill you."
"Always so hostile." Sero snickered. "Well, Kaminari decided to climb the ladder in the dumb department, flirting with both Shiozaki and Yanagi while Jirou was sitting right there."
"So what?" Kaminari said in bewilderment. "It's not a big deal."
"You mean it's no big deal to be fuckin hitting on another girl in front of the one girl you actually like?" Bakugo deadpanned knowing that that fact was lost on his friend.
"No…?"
"Look Pikachu, everyone has the right to do stupid shit at stupid times, but your fuckin abusing that privilege."
Placing his hand on Bakugos shoulder Kirishima being the reasonable one, gave Kaminari a sheepish grin. "What they're trying to say is that maybe Jirou might like you back. So why not ease up on the whole girl's thing if you're serious about her."
Scoffing Kaminari wiped the rain from his face. "Yeah right, like someone like her could like someone like me…"
Exchanging looks they sat themselves down knowing it was going to be a long night.
