Stunning – that was the best word for Bakugou to describe Uraraka’s smile. She usually wore that kind of smile when she was talking with her friends. It usually happened near to Bakugou’s desk, thanks to Deku sitting right in front of him. Needless to say, he blessed Aizawa for changing the sitting arrangements in the third semester of their first year.
Bakugou got himself staring at Ochako more and more as weeks went by and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t tear his gaze away. Maybe it could be attributed to the season – spring made every teenager’s hormones go crazy after all. At least, that was what Midnight-sensei once said during one of her classes.
”Hey, Bakugou!” Kirishima greeted his friend, but he paid him no mind. ”What are ya looking at?” He asked, following the others’ gaze with is own eyes, then a smirk appeared on his lips.
”What’s so fucking funny, asshole?” Bakugou asked without looking away from Ochako.
”Ah, its nothin’,” Kirishima said, then leaned close to his ear. ”You should really tell him, man.”
”LIKE FUCKING HELL I EVER WILL!” Bakugou yelled, drawing his every classmates’ attention on himself – Uraraka included.
Bakugou felt his ears burning and quickly averted his gaze, examining the top of his desk. He fucked it up real bad, he was sure of it. If the girl didn’t think he was some kind of jerk with anger issues before, now she totally would. He just hoped his classmates would forget his outrage – he had already had enough of those after all.
On that night, he and the other male members of the Bakusquad were studying in his room. He had no idea why he helped the losers – he had better thing to do – but when Sero pointed out that deep inside he was a kind hearted person, Bakugou didn’t oppose.
Their peace and quiet only lasted until his door was burst open, hitting the wall beside it. The intrusion was so sudden Kaminari even fell off of Katsuki’s bed, landing with a thud and painful groan.
”Blasty!” Mina all but jelled and Katsuki would’ve said her to shut the fuck up, if her entrance hadn’t surprised him as much as it did. ”You have a crush on Ochako, right?”
Bakugou’s eyes widened, then narrowed and he sent a murderous glare towards Kirishima. The redhead raised his hands in the air to show he didn’t tell anyone anything.
”Why do you think that, Pinky?” Bakugou spat, trying to stay as angry-looking as possible. However, he had the feeling that Mina could see through his act with ease.
”Yaomomo’s been watching you since you started your creepy staring,” she said, covering her mouth with a hand to hide the wide smile.
Bakugou mumbled a quiet ’fuck’ under his breath. He knew Ponytail was perceptive, he only had no idea how much.
”What was Uraraka’s reaction when you told her?” Kaminari chimed in and Bakugou felt his heart dropping into his stomach.
”At first, she didn’t want to believe it,” Mina said, sadness flashing through her face. ”She said Bakugou’s too cool for having a crush of someone like her.”
”Fuck!” Bakugou said out loud that time and was really close to jumping up from his position, just to run to Pink Cheeks’ room to tell her how big of a dumbass she was.
”This means he cares,” Sero commented and Bakugou felt his cheeks heating up for the second time that day.
”What else did she say?” Kaminari asked with such enthusiasm as if he was in love with the girl and not his friend.
”Wellll~” Mina started, lengthening the word, ”she said she had no objections against the idea!”
Kaminari opened his mouth to cheer, but Sero taped it up. Kirishima draped his arm over his best friend’s shoulder and gave him thumbs up. Bakugou felt his lips curving up in a smile. Everything started falling into place.
