- Bakubro?
- mmmm
...
- Bakubrooooooo
- WHAT DO YOU WANT KIRISHIMA ! I'm cooking.
- Why is Uraraka staring at you? And why did she start walking slowly ?...
- pff, she wants my phone...
Ok, it must have taken 2 milliseconds from the time Bakugou answered until he dropped the pan he had on the fire and jumped on the counter to grab his cell phone before Uraraka did... a plan that failed miserably since she had arrived 1 millisecond earlier.
- I'LL GET IT FOR YOU! - she shouted smiling
- OH NO, COME HERE WITH MY CELL PHONE!
They chased each other around the table as if they were two children, while Kirishima took advantage and stole the stuffing from the food. Well, Kirishima and a couple of others.
- Give me my phone Cheks, you have yours.
- Please! Yours has a better camera. And it's newer...
The blond didn't say anything, he only deigned to stare at her. Very, very hard.
-Besides, I have already downloaded the application... and I made an account? - said Uraraka while playing with the phone in his hands.
- When!...like... - Bakugou sighed while scratching his head standing with one hand on his waist and his apron on. Quite the Latina mother. - It's okay," he said resignedly. - he said resignedly, turned around and headed back to the kitchen.
- Hey, sorry to butt in, but what do you want with a phone? - asked Kirishima, still with food in his mouth (while he felt Bakugou's gaze on the back of his head).
- Tik tok!
- Sometimes she use my phone to look at stuff on the internet, but I didn't know that SOMEONE HAS TAKEN LIBERTIES AND INSTALLED AN APP WITHOUT MY CONSENT - he said snorting while cooking.
- Sorry okey? Besides, you never use it ! Mine is too old. Think of it this way, from now on you are helping your friend to have followers, more fame, easier to take off as a hero.... Don't worry, I won't neglect school, I promise.
- One hour a day, no more!
- Thank you thank you thank you - she said floating to where the blond was and giving him a kiss on the cheek. A kiss that left a very unsubtle blush on his ears that then grew with some words his friend said to him: "who knew that your weak spot floats".
--------------
Months passed and the group was involved in more than one problem. The dramas they lived through were not published on her account but they did help it take off and by Christmas of their second year it had 2 million followers.
Bakugo had to admit (but to himself), that Ochaco had the spark. His videos were funny, even when she did unoriginal things like challenges or those trending dances. He participated in one...he goes,...the whole course. To promote the school festival, all of 1A learned a couple of choreographies.
But worst of all... He was their cameraman. And editor.. and advisor.. WHAT MOMENT DID I GET INTO ALL THIS! he screamed in her thoughts. He knew, she had the spark, but she was very bad with technology. At first the school gave her a tripod and a light so she could continue with her project as a reward for the success that was the festival. In addition, some heroes recognized her existence thanks to the fact that she was now a public figure. They even congratulated her for her small heroic acts, such as locating lost animals, or notifying in emergency situations. But it wasn't all roses. There were times when I heard her crying in the distance, because no one is spared from hate. What made her stronger? Undoubtedly, we are talking about Uraraka, but there is no growth without a little suffering.
It was the Christmas season; the snow had already arrived and people were doing the last shopping before the holidays. He was surprised when, carried away by his thoughts, he woke up in front of a telephone store window.
And his astonishment grew when he naturally asked the saleswoman for the best phone they had. But her astonishment was not for what she had done, but for the calm that invaded her body knowing that she was getting something for herself.... And the anxiety of how she might come to interpret it... or how he was interpreting it.
Me
I bought her a phone (17:50)
Kirishima
(17:51) You just got promoted to manager.
When are you going to give it to him?
(17:55) If you don't want him to suspect anything, do it at Christmas time.
....If you don't want me to suspect anything, do it at Christmas...SHIT!
---------------------------
Christmas came and the gift didn't leave his room.
--------------------------
(Ding Dong)
The Uraraka's door was in front of him. He had already rang the doorbell, it was only necessary to wait for someone to open.
Just a second. Why isn't anyone coming yet?
Two seconds. Bad idea. Bad idea.
Three seconds. Wrong direction?
Four seconds. Wrong address.
Still deep in thought, he reached for the phone to double-check the address when the sound of the door interrupted his inner voice.
-Bakugou?!
3 long seconds...
-HAPPY BIRTHDAY I HOPE YOU LIKE IT WITHOUT FORGETTING THE PHONE
Nothing like a very normal greeting to generate a normal atmosphere. And so they stayed that way, her eyes wide open and her mouth even wider. He with his arms outstretched with the gift in his hands. A gift that was meant for Christmas but in an act of cowardice did not leave his closet until 2 days later, on her birthday.
idiot
- OH. MY. GOD ! THANK YOU ! come on in, we are eating dessert. -he said as he took the package and stepped aside so I could pass.
- Ochaco? What's that noise?... oh... oh! Hello! Are you my Ochaco's boyfriend?
One second: a plate was heard from the kitchen as it fell to the floor, along with the soul of Mr. Uraraka who just listened to his wife.
Two seconds: Bakugou died
Three seconds: Uraraka revived him.
- No moooom. This is Bakugou, my classmate. He's the one who helps me with the videos and lends me the phone ! I told you...
- Oh! I'm sorry ! Are you ok ? You're very red, the cold must have frozen your face.
- No, I'm fine. Nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. Uraraka. I just came to bring the gift to... Ochaco.
- I see, thank you very much for coming then! Don't you want to stay for something to eat? We are about to start with dessert but if you haven't eaten there is still dinner left.
- Erm... well. I'm not hungry so I'll join you for dessert.
- Coffee?
- Yes, thanks. - said the blond. But something was bothering him and that was Uraraka looking at him with a strange face. She wouldn't let go of the gift, not at all.
- I almost don't know you. - she said as she approached the table
- Hey, I'll be loud but with manners.
- Ochaco, come give me a hand! - called the mother.
Taking advantage of those seconds alone, he took his phone and wrote.
Me
Her damn parents are here! (19:02)
Kirishima
(19:02) Emm, yes? Wasn't it obvious? It's their house, bakubro
Look on the bright side. You killed two birds with one stone! You went to confession and met the in-laws. A great plan
Me
???????!!!!! (19:02)
Kirishima
(19:03) Oops. Chauuu
- Is everything all right? - Ochaco brought the blond back to reality. She was already at his side, with a plate of Mochis and a plate of... brownies. Yes, that's what they looked like. He just needed a second to collect his thoughts.
- Yes, everything is in order. Kirishima sends you happy birthday
- Oh! Tell him thank you so much! Ey, this mochi is all yours. The salesman at the bakery gave me an assortment of Mochis and this one is spicy.
The 4 of them were already seated at the table. For some reason that Bakugou did not understand, they interacted with him as if they had known him all their lives. Around 8 pm, the father remembered the reason for the presence of his guest.
-so.. Have you already opened the gift?
- IT'S TRUEEE!!! - She quickly got up from the table and went to the foyer, where she had left the package. When she got to the table her hands worked so fast that she didn't realize what it was until she had the device in her hands.
- Oh.my.GOD! This is "THE PHONE". THANK YOU KATSUKI!
Ok, his name took him by surprise. But seeing that she had liked it as much as he did was the best part of the night. She had already been able to trade her phone for a better one during that time. But she deserved the best
- It was more for me than for you, it was impossible to edit with the one you have now. - she said dryly but with a brief smile.
- I know. Thanks again.
- What are you waiting for honey? Turn it on and try it - said the mom.
- May I? - asked Ochaco with his big eyes. The other three nodded and 5 minutes later the cell phone was fully configured and the application was about to finish installing.
Their parents would cross their eyes at times as they found the exchange between the two boys endearing. And that's when they decided it was time to leave them alone for a while.
- Ochaco, honey, daddy and I are going to bed. Tomorrow we have to be at the construction site early. Bakugou, it's already late. You are more than welcome to stay the night. We don't have an extra room but we have an extra futon and we can accommodate you in the dining room.
- That's fine Mrs. Uraraka. My parents are at the casino and they told me to let you know when it's ready.
- Perfect, it's all set up then. Thank you so much for coming all this way to say hello to our little girl. Honey, happy birthday again.
And with a kiss on the forehead, both parents stood up and wished good night.
When they realized they were already alone, Bakugou's nerves made him speak.
- You dry the dishes, I'll wash them.
- But you're the guest!
- And you're the birthday girl. Come on, don't make me repeat myself.
And the usual Bakugou came back, she thought. She was definitely not used to seeing him quiet. While he was getting ready to wash the dishes, Uraraka remembered a trending thing she was looking forward to. Bakugou hated them because he considered them "a waste of creativity", but this one was special.
So she took her new cell phone, opened the camera and placed it in front of them, against the wall, near the faucet where they would both be in the recording frame.
- Really URARAKA?
- OBVIOUS, any problem? I'm just going to record us being normal, not students, not heroes for a while.
- mmmm. - he complained but it didn't sound like a negative, so she decided to continue with the video.
He washed and she dried. So home plate, cup and cutlery that was used since he arrived. They did it in silence and that's when missing little crockery Uraraka broke the silence.
- I didn't know your parents go to the Casino.
- Nah, they don't. It was the only thing open late today so they could wait for me.
- I thought you came alone.
- I tried to, but the old lady is very insistent. At least I convinced them to wait outside. I have a license to Hero but not to take a train at night, things I'll never understand.
That's when Bakugou passes her the last plate and she doesn't take it. And this failure causes him to shake his head and turn his gaze to where she was standing next to him. He is met with a reddened face but with a determined look.
One second: Uraraka stands on her tiptoes and leaves a tender kiss on her lips.
Two seconds: He drops the plate and breaks into the floor.
Three seconds: She breaks away because she had already achieved her goal but Bakugou was faster and with his hands still with foam he took her face and brought her back to his lips, but this time to answer her kiss with a much more intense one, one of those that appear in the movies when two protagonists have nothing to lose and let themselves go.
Four seconds: Oh.my.god she thought. She just wanted to stay there, hugging him by the neck, sneaking her fingers through his blond hair, something she apparently liked because of the increasing intensity of the moment.
And so they went on for several seconds, minutes capable, until Bakugou's back touched the ceiling and they realized that at some point Uraraka had activated his quirk and they were floating. They were out of frame in the chamber but that no longer mattered. They stood breathing shakily, face to face. With a simple push from the ceiling, they made it back to the point where it had all started. Now on solid ground and with the quirk deactivated, Bakugou kissed her forehead and hugged, resting his chin on her head. She was more than sheltered in his arms , with her face hidden in his chest.
- mmmm. The challenge of kissing your best friend.
- Are you mad?
- Nah, you saved me the trouble of telling you I love you.

The next morning:
Cheeks:

The video by the next morning was viral, their relationship public and Uraraka's profile with 3 million new subscribers.
