Classes went by pretty slow with everyone on edge after Uraraka's outburst. Uraraka barely looked up at Midoriya, and Bakugo kept glancing at Uraraka to make sure she was okay. She never lashed out at Midoriya during the class after that. Bakugo was still worried about her when it was time for lunch.
He noticed that she kept avoiding Midoriya while she walked to the cafeteria with Kirishima. Everyone still stayed with their group even if they were a little worried about Bakugo and Uraraka. Bakugo stayed with Midoriya and Iida, which felt even weirder.
His heart fluttered a little when he caught a glimpse of Midoriya. After knowing that it was just Uraraka's feelings, it actually made him feel a little bad for her. She was dating him after all, and he was getting in the way of that. He actually considered if there was something he might let her do with him. Something about the way she saw him made him realize that Uraraka really cared about him.
Once they finally ate, things started to settle down. They ate quietly, even Midoriya and Iida didn't say much to him. He ate and never looked up at Midoriya. Just looking at him made him feel a little nervous. He had to at least let Uraraka's feelings for him subside. He knew that Midoriya was worried about him however because he could feel him looking at him constantly.
After classes finally wrapped up, Uraraka and Bakugo noticed that Kitsune was no where to be found.
"Where's Kitsune, Mr. Aizawa?" Uraraka asked him.
"She's going to be staying in your dormitory for the time being. We figured that she could help until we figure this whole thing out," Mr. Aizawa said to her, "She looked happy to help you and Bakugo, so be patient with her."
"Of course sir," Uraraka said to him.
"No more letting off explosions. I know things have been frustrating, but you need to stay calm. You're not going to get things done by lashing out at Midoriya and Bakugo," He said back to her with a stern voice.
Uraraka avoided eye contact with him and nodded subtly. She looked back at Midoriya and still felt a little annoyed. It wasn't as bad as before, but it was still there. She gripped onto her school bag, hoping that she could still talk to him without getting annoyed or angry. She realized now that these feelings were coming from Bakugo. She was at least glad that she had found out about it after Bakugo. It made things less intense for her.
Uraraka took a deep breath in and out and walked up to Midoriya. He looked a little nervous as she walked up to him, and she couldn't blame him. He even flinched when she got close to him.
"Hey... Izuku..." Uraraka said to him while avoiding eye contact, "I-I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I just..."
Midoriya went to hold her hand, but then he hesitated. He pulled back, and she felt disappointed that he didn't hold her hand.
"Don't worry about it so much, Ochaco," Midoriya said back with a smile, "I understand what's going on. Kacchan's feelings are starting to bother you, right?"
She looked up at him, surprised that he caught on so quickly. When she looked at his wide smile however, those annoying feelings were starting to boil over. She felt her fists clenching, but tried to relax. Something about his smile was bugging her again, but she was able to calm down.
"Y-Yeah. It looks like Bakugo isn't the only one frustrated about this," Uraraka said to him.
"I can see why. What I don't understand is why is it only Midoriya that's effecting all of this?" Iida asked them as he adjusted his glasses.
"Ugh, you're so annoying right now," Uraraka said without meaning to, "I-I'm sorry Iida. It's just Bakugo's stupid feelings are pretty stubborn and annoying."
"I stand corrected," Iida said to them with a sweat drop.
"Let's get started with hero training before I start letting off explosions again," Uraraka said to them.
They all grabbed their cases of hero costumes and were ready to get started. Bakugo and Uraraka ended up bumping into each other, feeling a little nervous to say anything at all. Bakugo looked at the floor while Uraraka scratched the back of her head.
"Look Bakugo, I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier," Uraraka said to him, "I just got so upset that this might take longer than we thought. I can understand why you'd be upset too."
"I guess I was a little harsh with you," Bakugo said back, "I just felt really annoyed with Deku making me feel... you know... It just started to frustrate me, and I might've let out on you."
"It looks like I might be having the same problem with your feelings," Uraraka said to him, feeling a little embarrassed, "I can see why you'd be frustrated or annoyed. It is pretty hard to focus on schoolwork with Izuku right in front of me."
Bakugo's eyes widened in shock, realizing that he was right. She was started to feel how he usually did when dealing with schoolwork. He couldn't help but blush a little from embarrassment. He didn't know how to handle this sort of thing, especially with Uraraka.
"Things have gotten a lot weirder, huh?" Bakugo asked her.
"Y-Yeah. I don't even see how I could even date Izuku with all of this going on," Uraraka said to him, "It's kind of a good thing that you decided to put up the no dating rule. Things probably would've gotten a lot worse if you didn't do that."
Bakugo still felt bad, especially since he could feel his heart fluttering when she mentioned Midoriya. He kind of wished he could do something for them, even if they weren't dating at the moment. Bakugo never thought he'd be getting involved with Uraraka and Midoriya's relationship, and he let out an annoyed sigh.
"Maybe you two could... Have a small date..." Bakugo groaned, feeling like he might regret it later.
Uraraka's eyes lit up but he could tell that she was a little nervous about it.
"Are you sure Bakugo? I don't want to make things more complicated or difficult for Kitsune to switch us back," Uraraka said to him, "Maybe we should wait until after we get back to normal."
His heart was starting to race, thinking about Midoriya. He was able to relax, but really wished that these feelings would dissipate. If they dated, it might make these feelings feel less intense.
"Really, you can if you want to," Bakugo said, feeling a little overwhelmed, "Just, nothing public. I'm sure Horned Lady can switch us back afterwards. As long as you two don't do anything weird."
Uraraka blushed and gave Bakugo a dirty look.
"If you're so sure then I guess I could ask him if he wants to have a private dinner date tomorrow," Uraraka said to him, "I could cook, but I'm not very good at it. I made those chocolates, but Sato helped me with those."
Bakugo hesitated for a moment, but soon gave in since they were already talking about it.
"I-I could help you," Bakugo said under his breath, "It's not that hard once you find the right recipe."
Uraraka's eyes widened in shock to see him actually volunteering to help her. She smiled, feeling like they were finally back on the right track.
"Thanks Bakugo. I owe you one," Uraraka said to him, "Come on, we should get to Gym Gamma. I'm sure you'd love to hero train some more with how well you're doing."
"Fine," Bakugo said back with a slight smile, "But just know that I'm doing so much better than you already with your quirk."
Uraraka could tell that he was being very competitive with her now and smiled back with determination.
"Oh yeah? I bet I could beat you with your own quirk," Uraraka said to him.
Bakugo smiled back, and they walked out of the classroom with everyone leaving with them. Everyone could tell that they were already getting along. Not only that, but they were also getting excited for hero training.
Midoriya smiled at them, finally feeling a little bit relaxed with them around.
In Gym Gamma...
Uraraka and Bakugo had finally gotten dressed in their respective hero costumes, ready to start hero training. Everyone followed them, just as excited as them. Uraraka noticed that Bakugo wasn't stumbling finally in her heels which made her giggle a little. She even felt like she had finally gotten use to Bakugo's giant gauntlets.
Once they had entered Gym Gamma, they were surprised to see Mr. Aizawa with AllMight, Cementoss and Kitsune in here. She stood there looking really excited to see U.A. students working on their quirks.
Bakugo and Uraraka wondered the same thing and hoped that things were better with her.
"Mr. Aizawa, why is Kitsune here? Isn't that a little dangerous to have her in here?" Iida asked him.
"Since Kitsune is here to stay for a while, she was excited to see everyone training. AllMIght and Cementoss will keep an eye on her, and I'll make sure her quirk doesn't lose control. She's here to help out Bakugo and Uraraka. Before we get started, she wanted to try switching them back again," Mr. Aizawa explained to them.
Bakugo's and Uraraka's eyes widened in shock, not expecting this. They got excited about hero training together again that they didn't think that this would happen so quickly. They walked up to her and stood the way they did the last time they did this. Kitsune focused on them, but they couldn't seem to relax.
"Just, focus on what switching back to normal. I know things have gotten a little messy, but just focus on how you're feeling," Kitsune explained.
Uraraka and Bakugo shared a look and closed their eyes. Kitsune did as well, and her hands glowed blue with an electrical current. Soon enough, her eyes soon opened with glowing eyes just like last time. Something was different this time around, and everyone was shocked to witness Bakugo open his eyes as Uraraka. They were glowing blue, but not Uraraka who was still closing hers. It actually looked like Uraraka was struggling to focus on Kitsune switching them.
Before they both knew it, Kitsune's quirk zapped them. They collapsed onto the ground, feeling a little winded. Everyone ran over to them, trying to help them up.
"Are you okay Uraraka and Bakugo?" Iida asked them.
"Y-Yeah... I'm okay," Bakugo said to them, "That felt even weirder than before."
"Ugh... That hurt more than usual," Uraraka said to herself.
They looked up to see themselves, and Bakugo looked down at Uraraka's hands. Something about it felt a little off, and he thought he was looking through her eyes for a moment. After shaking it off, he felt a little better. He felt himself settle down and got a little lightheaded.
"Whoa... That was weird..." Bakugo said under his breath.
"What? Did you feel something?" Uraraka asked him curiously.
Bakugo looked up and noticed that nothing had changed, but he felt a little dizzy.
"I thought I saw you for moment. It felt kind of like when Mr. Aizawa tried to switch us back, but a little stronger," Bakugo explained to them.
Everyone was surprised to hear this, even Mr. Aizawa was interested in Kitsune's quirk.
"That means Bakugo just focused a little more than Uraraka," Kitsune explained to him, "Don't worry about it. You'll get the hang of it. We'll try again some other time if things don't switch back naturally."
"But what was with Bakugo's eyes? They were glowing just like yours," Midoriya asked her.
Bakugo didn't even realize that he had opened his eyes earlier. Something about that did feel weird, and he remembered just seeing blue. He even felt a surge of power flowing through him trying to switch him back.
"That's just because they've been stuck like this for a while now," Kitsune explained to them, "The longer they stay like this, the more of my quirk I need to use in order to switch them. Bakugo was able to focus on switching back, so it kind of went more towards him. I'm sorry if that was a bit too much of my quirk on you."
"Ye-Yeah... That was... weird..." Bakugo said to her.
"It seems like your quirk is more complicated than we initially thought," Yaoyorozu said to her.
Kitsune felt herself blush, starting to feel a little embarrassed.
"There's gotta be a less intense way of doing this," Iida said to Mr. Aizawa and Kitsune.
"Sorry. That's just the way my quirk works," Kitsune explained with a nervous smile.
"Are you okay, Ochaco?" Midoriya asked her, "I know that you really wanted to switch back after what happened earlier."
Uraraka glanced at Bakugo, and they just stared at each other for a moment. For some reason, she wasn't as annoyed or frustrated as before.
"Actually, I'm fine," Uraraka said to him, "Just like Kitsune said, we can try again later."
Bakugo let out a slight chuckle, causing everyone to look in his direction.
"I don't about you, but I just want to get started on some hero training already," Bakugo said to Uraraka, "You did just say that you could beat me with my own quirk after all."
Uraraka couldn't help but smile, feeling really competitive all of a sudden.
"Yeah, and I still think that," Uraraka said back with determined eyes.
Class 1-A backed up from them, feeling really competitive energy coming off of them. Even Mr. Aizawa, AllMight and Cementoss were a bit thrown off by this. AllMight pulled Kitsune back a bit, knowing full well that they were about to duke it out.
Uraraka and Bakugo stared at each other, and Class 1-A knew that this was about to get interesting.
They both walked towards the middle of Gym Gamma and gave each other some space to get ready. Uraraka stretched out her arms even if her giant gauntlets were still a bit heavy for her. Bakugo tried to be more light on his feet as he ran in place and shook his hands to get ready.
"Mr. Aizawa, are you sure they should do this?" Iida asked them, "They aren't use to this kind of thing with each other's quirks."
"I'd say they deserve a little bit of a battle training. I'd say they are getting use to it already," Mr. Aizawa said back.
Class 1-A watched as they got ready to fight it out. Uraraka and Bakugo got in a fighting stance, ready to start.
"Ready when you are, Pink Cheeks," Uraraka said with Bakugo's voice.
Bakugo got thrown off, but felt just as competitive as her as a smile formed on his face.
"Don't think you're going to throw me off with my own insults," Bakugo said back.
Uraraka surprisingly went first and aimed right for him. She let off a pretty big explosion, shocking everyone. Bakugo ran towards her and dodged it by jumping over it. He had floated himself and ended up behind Uraraka. She quickly tried to swing an explosive in his direction, and Bakugo had stumbled when he landed.
Bakugo tried to touch her, but Uraraka instinctively dodged him. She grabbed Bakugo's arm and tried to pin him down to the floor. Her grip on him ended up burning through his hero costume, but he was able to get out of it. He ran away from her, which shocked everyone. Then they spotted his burn on his forearm. Bakugo kept running, but then whipped around and aimed Uraraka's gauntlet right at Uraraka. He was floating again, and no one noticed him do it so quickly. Before Uraraka could react, he shot the gauntlet at the pillar right near her.
The cable shot out, almost hitting Uraraka's head. It wrapped around the pillar, and Bakugo launched after Uraraka. Uraraka got ready for him to come after her, and she aimed right at him. She let out a few explosions to keep him away from her, creating a smoke screen all around them. Before she knew it, Bakugo was about to touch her.
Uraraka quickly grabbed his wrist and threw him to the floor while still using his quirk. Bakugo felt the cable coming back, and it ended up hitting Bakugo's gauntlet. The vibration caused her to loosen her grip, and Bakugo kicked her off of him. He felt himself floating away from her, which he took advantage of.
"You look pretty tired. You should just give it up now," Bakugo said with a smile.
Uraraka smiled back with a smile that gave everyone chills.
"No way. I'm just getting started," Uraraka said back.
"You asked for it," Bakugo said to her.
Bakugo ended up floating over towards a pillar and used that as leverage. He propped his legs up onto it and aimed right at the ground. With as much force as he could muster, he pushed towards it and aimed the cable right at another pillar. He swung himself down as he turned off his quirk and landed onto the ground. Uraraka tried to stop him with an explosion, but he landed right before she could. He caused the ground to crumble into pieces and smiled at the ammo he had just made for himself.
He touched all of it, causing them to float all around him.
"Come on, is that all you've got?" Bakugo asked her with a competitive smile.
Uraraka quickly realized that he really had gotten use to her quirk pretty well. She smiled back at him, knowing full well that she had as well. Uraraka waited for the right opportunity, but Bakugo slammed Uraraka's gauntlet right into a floating rock. It came flying right at her, and she quickly dodged it. The more she moved around, the more sweated which just made her even more determined to beat him.
Bakugo hit another one right at her, and Uraraka hit it back with an explosion. The rock burst into pieces and smoke, but a piece of it ended up hitting Uraraka's face. Before he could send another one her way, Uraraka was already running in a different direction. She jumped into the air with explosions behind her causing her to fly. Bakugo kept an eye on her as he tried to send another rock her way.
Uraraka dodged it and smiled as she got her arms ready. Bakugo's eyes widened, not realizing that she had a plan up her sleeve. She swung her arms towards him, causing a wave of explosions to come right at him. Bakugo was not expecting that and had never done anything like that before. This explosion didn't dissipate and kept coming towards Bakugo. He instinctively ran away from it and ducked under it to avoid getting burned. His rocks got destroyed, and he could feel the heat from the explosion as he got up.
Uraraka stood up with her arm extended towards him. Bakugo's eyes widened in shock to realize that she had beaten him with his own quirk.
"Looks like I won, Pink Cheeks."
