Chapter Text
Bakugou was excited. The summer was right around the corner and he was ready to train and get a helluva lot stronger than that damn idiot Midoriya. He had his whole summer training regime planned out to a T, and he wasn't going to let anything - nor anyone for that matter - get in his way.
Uraraka was also excited. The summer was around the corner, and she couldn't wait to spend it hanging out with her friends. Plus she was planning to get some much-needed extra training in between the days she would be helping her parent's company.
So, when Yaoyorozu invites the entirety of Class 1-A to her parent's summer home for a fun week together over the break, Uraraka is the first to jump up with enthusiasm.
“I’d love to go!” The bubbly girl burst, her eyes alight with stars at the thought, “My family hasn’t taken a vacation to the beach in ages! I can't wait!"
”Yeah it sounds fun!” Midoriya follows her in agreeance, a shy smile lighting his freckled face.
Iida is the only one who contemplates the idea aloud before agreeing, “Well, I was going to spend most of the summer getting ahead on that essay Cementoss assigned us. But, I suppose one week off won’t delay me too much. Yes…it could even make for good rest for the mind. Alright, I’m in!”
”I suppose I’ll tag along,” Shouto was the next person to join in, his voice as calm as it always was, “I don’t have other plans. I’ll take any escape from being trapped at home with my father all summer.”
”Count me in too,” Tsu croaks cheerily.
The rest of the class bursts into excited chatter afterwards. Mina was already gathering the girls together to coordinate a beach shopping trip. Meanwhile, Sero, Kirishima, and Kaminari are planning out teams for their first round of beach volleyball.
Bakugou on the other hand…
“Yeah have fun getting fat laying on sand and eating s’mores every night - I’m out,” He comments loud enough for the whole class to hear. With a cold scowl he leans back in his chair carelessly.
”Bakugou!” Mina protests shrilly, “Why do you always have to be such a buzzkill?!”
His chair hits the floor as he slams his hands on the table to bark back at her, ”Not my problem you all would rather focus on lazing about than training!”
Mina twists her face into a mix between a pout and a nervous frown, both frustrated and intimidated by the blonde's quick temper.
”C’mon man!” Kirishima jumps in to relieve her, “Can’t you take one week off? You train like hell every day already!”
”Fuck yeah I do!” Bakugou shouts back, jabbing a thumb at himself, “That’s why I’m fit as hell! And I’m going to get even stronger while you all prance around in swimsuits!”
“Swimsuits…girls…prancing,” Mineta mumbles to himself in the corner of the room.
”Can we conveniently just not invite him?” Tsu whispers to Yaoyorozu, watching the purple-headed creep gaze off into the distance while drooling.
Yaoyorozu tries to swallow her growing distress. She expected Bakugou to protest, but she hated to see everyone get dragged into a tizzy over it. Did she love the idea of having the explosive blonde there? Not particularly. Especially knowing how difficult he could be.
But at the end of the day, he was part of Class 1-A. And, if he didn’t come she knew it would feel a vital member of the group was missing.
Rolling her shoulders back she took a step forward, attempting to take a more diplomatic approach.
“You know Bakugou they say running on sand is one of the best methods of building up leg strength,” She offers, “And, in case I neglected to mention before; my parents vacation home has a top-of-the-line gym on the bottom floor. It makes the training room here look like a broom closet.”
Bakugou ears noticeably perk at her comment. Nonetheless, He turns his head away from her with a harsh “Tch!” - seemingly unimpressed.
”It even has a uniquely custom-built environmental chamber where you can train in any condition of your choosing,” She continues, not giving up, “There’s also an indoor Olympic-sized swimming pool, full-sized Basketball court, indoor pickle ball court, dojo, sauna, steam room-“
”Alright, alright I get it!” Bakugou interrupts, a vein popping on his forehead, "Just shut up already, Ponytail!"
When silence falls over the room, he leans back in his chair again to scowl over at Yaoyorozu. Yaoyorozu stares back head lifted, not backing down. The two glare at each other and Uraraka swears she sees defiant sparks crackling between them.
"Alright fine. What's the address again?" He growls at last.
The day comes quicker than Ochako expects. Her parents agree to drive her, Asui, Mina, and Hagakure to the estate together. After traveling up a long winding driveway bordered by lush tropical forest, they come upon an impressive-looking structure.
”Well, Yaoyorozu did say they had an Olympic-sized swimming pool,” Tsu comments, as the group gawks through the car windows.
In front of them was a gorgeous all-white mansion. Each story had towering windows, romantic balconies, and tall white columns decorated with intricate carvings of goddesses and floral motifs. At the front of the mansion were two thick, massive wooden doors with heavy golden handles that were hand-carved as well.
Ochako's parents help the girls gather up their suitcases as they exit the vehicle.
"My! This is quite a beautiful looking home, isn't it?" Her mother comments, gazing up at the architectural marvel.
"Indeed it is!" Her father replies, equally amazed.
After a few moments of taking in the gorgeous display, they turn to Uraraka and envelope her in a big hug.
"Alright, pumpkin, well we should be going,” Her mother says, squeezing her tight, “I'm sure Yaoyorozu's family will take good care of you!"
“Call if you need anything!” Her father adds.
With that they wave as they head back down the winding driveway.
A moment later, the wooden doors creak open. An older gentleman steps out, dressed in a well-kept suit. He is tall and lank with a large nose. The lack of hair on the top of his head is made up for by his fluffy mustache and grey eyebrows that are thick enough to cover his eyes.
“Welcome to The Yaoyorozu Summer Retreat,” He announces while bowing low, a hand against his chest.
“O-oh! Hello! Thank you for the invitation s-sir!” Uraraka hastily replies dipping into several respectful bows in return, an action the other girls mimic.
The man rose slowly, a warm smile on his aged face.
“I take it you are Ms. Ochako Uraraka, Ms. Tooru Hagakure, Ms. Mina Ashido, and Ms. Tsuyu Asui?” He asks, the four girls nod, “I am the head butler of the estate - Shitsuji Shikkosoru at your service. Please do come inside."
Passing curious and somewhat anxious glances at one another the girls follow after the butler. As they step over the threshold, instantly gasps escape each of their lips.
Inside the mansion was like a marble jungle. Grey and white floors swept across the expansive room, and spiraling columns stretched up towards the vaulted ceilings. In the center of the room was a large fountain bursting with fresh water. And curling through every part of it were lush vines and every sort of tropical plant one could imagine.
Behind the fountain was a grand marble staircase that led your eye up to a wall of clear glass windows before splitting off towards the left and right wings of the mansion. Uraraka bubbled with glee at the sight of the sand, the sun, and the ocean waves crashing off in the distance beyond it.
“This is amazing!” She exclaims.
“Unbelievable!” Tsu adds, equally awed.
"I knew Yaoyorozu was rich, but she's like rich rich," Mina whispers to Hagakure.
“This is the Grand Entrance,” Shitsuji announces gesturing to the elaborate display before them, “The doors on either side of the staircase will lead you right to the Yaoyorozu Family's Private Beach. You're welcome to go out at your leisure. We do ask guests to adhere to a 11pm curfew for your own safety though, as most of the staff will be asleep and the tide is much more dangerous at night."
”At the top of the steps you can venture off to the East or West wing,” He drones on, “The East wing is where you and your classmates will be residing. Bedrooms have already been assigned in advance. And to the West wing is the dining hall, grand balcony, and master suites.”
"Um excuse me," Ochako asks, politely raising her hand as if in school.
"Yes, Ms. Uraraka?"
"Yaoyorozu mentioned you had a gym on the bottom floor, does that have a curfew too?"
The butler smiled at her request, "There is no curfew for indoor activities, you are free to wander about the mansion at any hour. We just ask you stay out of the master suites. If you go through those double doors there," He gestured to the right side of the room where two large white doors stood, "You'll find our state of the art, full-scale training facilities. Would you like to tour them now?"
"Yes!" Ochako answered faster than he could finish his sentence.
"Alright then, follow me."
Yaoyorozu was not at all embellishing when she said the gym made the schools training room look like a broom closest. Shitsuji took over an hour showing them all the parts of the training facilities. The pool, the dojo, the basketball courts - each part more impressive than the last. They even discovered there was a hot spring attached to the outside, and locker rooms.
Once they were back in the Grand Entrance, Momo and the rest of Class 1-A was standing waiting for them.
”Momo!” The girls cheered running to their friend who stood in the middle of the group.
”This place is incredible!” Mina exclaimed.
"I can't wait to use the steam room!" Hagakure adds excitedly.
”Thanks, everyone,” Yaoyorozu thanked humbly, “It’s a bit over the top to be honest, but I want everyone to enjoy themselves to the fullest of their abilities. I see you’ve met Shitsuji already. Thank you for showing them around,” She nodded to her butler in acknowledgement.
”Certainly, Miss Yaoyorozu,” He responds, dipping into a deep bow, “Anything you need from me at this time?”
“I suppose I just need a few beach towels, it seems a few people forgot theirs,” She looked pointedly at Kaminari.
”Of course,” Shitsuji nods, and then reaches behind his back. When he brings his hand in front of him again a stack of towels is in it.
”Wow! How’d you do that?!” Uraraka asks.
”Do you have the same quirk as Yaoyorozu?” Midoriya inquires, stepping forward curiously.
The butler chuckled, “Not quite. My quirk is Butler. It’s a service based quirk - I can produce anything you may desire at your request. But only at your request. I cannot produce anything from my own wants like Ms. Yaoyorozu can.”
”That’s amazing,” Midoriya looks on in awe, "With a quirk like that no wonder you're the head butler! Though in battle I could imagine you being an asset as well. For example, if a weapon or particular tool were needed, you'd be able to produce it without a problem. I imagine having someone to protect you though may be equally needed. Hmm, a strategy perhaps like..."
Midoriya's comments gradually degrades into a fast mumbling to himself, as he began to develop ideas on how such a quirk could be utilized.
"Hey!" Bakugou shouts, drowning out the green-haired student's voice.
He steps forward from the small crowd of students. Unlike everyone else who was dressed in tropical beach attire, he was fully dressed in his training suit.
"You know where the training room is?" He asks the butler.
"You must be Mr. Katsuki Bakugou," Shitsuji notes aloud, dipping into another bow, "Follow me sir, Yaoyorozu informed me to give you a special VIP tour of our training facilities."
"Tch! Whatever," Bakugou spits, but follows after him without protest.
"VIP?" Tsu mutters to Uraraka, "Does that mean there's even more than we saw?"
"Aww, I'm jealous!" Ochako bursts.
"Don't worry," Yaoyorozu cuts in with a smile, "There will be plenty of time to train while here. But for now, I say we hit the beach!"
"Yay!" The girls and boys cheered excitedly.
“Do you think this is too revealing?” Ochako asks aloud, turning to look at herself in the mirror anxiously.
While they had found their assigned rooms, all the girls had decided to gather into one to get ready. Considering each room had it's own living area, dressing area, two bedrooms, and a balcony view of the beach, it was not at all difficult piling into one. They stood in the dressing room, complete with three full length mirrors, comfortable couches, and a walk-in closet.
“Not at all! You should see the suit Yaoyorozu bought,” Mina answers waving away her friend's concern.
“I don’t know,” Tsu disagrees, “It is quite…hm…cheeky.”
Uraraka blushed at Tsu confirming her very thoughts.
Before the trip, Mina had gathered the whole group together to go swimsuit shopping and had somehow convinced her to buy an especially revealing bikini. Her and Hagakure's claims of it being “so on trend”, and “such a good deal!” and how it “made her look soooo fit!” managed to sell her.
Now wearing it again, with the thought that she’d be stepping on the beach in front of her entire class - well, really in front of all the boys in her class - she was starting to get major buyer's remorse.
Why was it that it looked so natural on other women when their butt was hanging out, but on her she felt so self-conscious about it?
“I don’t know, maybe I should just wear my other suit,” She started, adjusting the strings of her top for what felt like the hundredth time.
No matter how many times she tried to fix it, it felt like some part of her boobs were ready to fall out at any moment. It was either she let herself have major underboob or her breasts were spilling out over the top of it. Meanwhile, her bottoms were little more than two ties on either side supporting a small cut of fabric that barely covered the important bits.
“Don’t over think it!” Hagakure comments, startling Uraraka as she hadn’t even noticed she was there.
“Um, Tooru maybe you should put your suit on already,” Mina mentions as she lounged back on the couch.
“Oops! Sorry!” Hagakure apologized, “I’m so used to not wearing clothes now sometimes I forget to get dressed in the first place, hah!"
The girls laugh nervously in response as she slipped on her bikini.
”Anyway, just own it Uraraka! Don’t worry about what other people might think,” Mina insists, "I mean my suit is cheeky too!"
Uraraka looked back at her and felt some relief, realizing the pink student's suit was almost as revealing as her own. Although, she thought to herself, the girl's bright pink bikini had ruffling details along the edges that at least gave a little extra coverage.
"Yeah so is mine!" Tooru announces now dressed in her bikini too.
Though, all the girl's could see was a floating bikini made of cute pink floral patterns.
"What do you think Jiro?" Ochako turns to the earphone jack student.
"Just wear what you want," She shrugs, "I don't see anything wrong with it."
Uraraka looks back at the mirror nervously and gives herself one quick scan.
“Yeah, maybe I'm just overthinking it…” Ochako finally gives in, and does her best to push the thoughts of feeling a little overexposed away.
“I got it!" Kirishima shouts, jumping up just in time to slam his hardened hand against the ball that came sailing towards him.
He successfully hits it over the net and towards the sand, blasting past Midoriya's hands.
"Hey we said no quirks!" Kaminari protests on the other side of the net.
"Yeah right!" Kirishima responds, "Ojiro totally used his tail to make that last point!"
As soon as the boys were out on the beach they had gathered towards the volleyball court and made their teams, eager for some friendly competition.
"Ojiro's tail is part of his body! That doesn't count!" Kaminari returns.
"Todoroki's dark shadow is technically part of his body, does that mean he can use it too then?!" The red-haired student replies, pointing back at his teammate.
The two boys argue back and forth. As the girls step onto the beach they see their heated debate and roll their eyes.
"Typical boys," Mina comments, hand on her hip. She then turns to girls, a sneaky grin on her face, "C'mon let's pick a spot where we can distract them!"
"Distract them?" Yaoyorozu asks, confused.
She had joined them after getting dressed in her own room, stating she wanted to check in with the staff first. Her red suit was quite exposing, also giving Uraraka a bit more confidence.
"You'll see," The pink student returns with a wink, marching towards the open area a few feet away from the courts.
As soon as they are in view, Mineta is the first to notice.
"I think I might have gone to heaven," He mumbles suddenly, interrupting the boy's argument.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Kirishima asks, but when he looks in the direction the purple-headed creep is, a blush creeps up to his face.
"Damn..." Kaminari mutters, also looking, "Jirou looks pretty good..."
”Goodness, haven’t they any shame?” Iida comments, though his cheeks were also pink.
"They all look...um," Midoriya stammers, face exploding with heat.
"Hot!" Mineta shouts putting two thumbs up.
The girls set their towels out, pretending not to notice the boys gawking at them.
"It's gonna be a good vacation," Mina sighs, laying down in the sand.
While the rest of Class 1-A was enjoying their time on the beach, Bakugou was already in the midst of a hard workout.
He'd never say it to her face, but Ponytail Girl’s parent's training facility was awesome. He felt like he had a whole fitness center to himself, and it was exactly what he needed to ensure he stayed focused on his training plan.
As he finished up his 5th set of weight lifting, he took a sip of water and stared outside the long glass windows. He watched the waves crash gently against the shore, the suns rays sparkling off the surface. He thought back to Yaoyorozu's words about how running on sand was a great way to build leg strength.
He looks up at one of the gym TVs which tells him its over 90 degrees outside. If he were to run in this heat he'd surely work up even more of a sweat.
"Alright, time for some cardio," He decides, grinning as he sets his water bottle down.
With that, he heads to the locker room, throwing on a pair of running shorts, and a loose black tank.
He's already sweating by the time he steps on the beach, but he doesn't care. After a few calf stretches he sets his timer and takes off, running down the beach at top speed.
By mile two he spots the rest of his class hanging out by the water but doesn’t bother to take too much notice. Those lazy idiots are going to regret wasting their time while he was on his way to becoming the strongest. Yeah soon enough everyone would forget about friggen Deku and IcyHot when he became the Number One Hero.
Somehow the idea gives him an extra boost and he pushes his already tiring legs to dig harder through the loose sand. Before long he’s passing the group of students.
“Wow, Bakugou’s fast!” He hears one of them shout to the others as he blasts by.
As he keeps going, the sun breaks through some cloud coverage. The sudden brightness catches him off guard and he looks towards the side to block the light from his eyes.
It’s then that he catches sight of Uraraka standing in the water nearby watching him pass. Her already big round eyes were wide with amazement. While her dumb expression catches him initially, as he keeps looking he notices she clearly forgot to fully dress herself. Her ass and tits were totally hanging out - was that piece of fabric supposed to be a swimsuit? The hell?!
As he’s staring back at her he fails to notice the large rock sticking out of the sand in front of him. His foot rams into it, throwing off his momentum and balance.
“Shit!” He yells flying forward, hands out in front.
Quick thinking tells him to activate his quirk. He knew if he could cause a blast downward it would catapult himself upright before hitting the ground.
But what he doesn’t consider is that his whole body was covered in more sweat than he typically would be. And the ground beneath him was not a hard surface that he could push easily off of. So instead of rocketing off like usual, he causes a massive explosion to go off, sending sand flying everywhere.
