I Am Here For You (IzuOcha)

Chapter 54: Ochaco's Unsatisfaction

There was a light knock at the door. Bakugo, angrily slapping his manga down on the bed. He swore if Deku bothered him one more fucking time, he was blasting his freckled face off. He wants to bring up shit from the past then Deku can stay out of his way. Bakugo angrily walked to the door, angrily opening it to see no one was there.

"Baku-Chan..." A voice said. Bakugo's angry eyes looked downward to see little Eri, still holding Ochaco's phone, looking up at him. Bakugo's eye softeneed just a bit, exhaling the breath he was holding in order to scream at Deku with.

"What is it pipsqueak? I'm kinda in the middle of reading important documents here." Bakugo asked the little girl standing at his doorway.

"I wanna hang out with Baku-Chan." Eri said with a small smile. Bakugo's eyes squinted.

"I don't have time to be playing with little kids. If you wanna hang out, hang out with your stupid 'Daddy'. I'm here to watch you in case a villain comes, nothing else." Bakugo said, closing his door on the girl. He started walking back towards towards his bed before the small knock was once again heard. Bakugo closed his eyes, putting his fingers to the bridge of his nose.

"What?" He called out, however the only response he had gotten was another small knock. Mumbling every curse word under the sun, Bakugo walked back to the door and opened it. Eri again looked up at him.

"It's lonely down there..." Eri said. Steam seemed to be protruding from Bakugo's ears. He just wanted to read his manga to get his conversation with Deku off his mind. Why was he helping taking care of this little twerp? Deku's job was watching her. Not. Him.

"Please?" Eri asked quietly. Bakugo stared down angrily at the girl before his face fell into calmness.

"Fine. But I'm reading so sit down and shut up."

Bakugo let the girl in and closed the door behind him. He pointed towards the chair at the desk of the log cabin wall, signaling for her to sit there. She slowly walked over and jumped into the chair, wiggling a bit to adjust herself before smiling widely at him. An unamused Bakugo walked back towards his bed, took his manga and turned his back towards her, facing the wall.

Eri stared at Ochaco's phone for a bit before looking up at Bakugo. She frowned for a second before smiling. She quietly slid off the chair and started tiptoeing towards Bakugo's bed. Everytime Bakugo shifted, she would stop and peek over at him, before continuing her trek towards his bed.

Eri soon made it to the base of Bakugo's bed. She reached her arms up and peeked over, examining how much space was on the bed. Bakugo was a bit more towards the wall. Eri squinted, weighing her options, before nodding slightly to herself. She slowly pulled herself up onto the bed and sat on the corner of it.

She stared at Bakugo, who hadn't acknowledged her at all. He laid there, back still turned. Eri scooted closer to him until she way sitting, back to back to Bakugo. She waited for him to say something, but Bakugo continued to ignore her existence. Eri continued to watch videos on her phone, now leaning against Bakugo's back, deeming it safe. She didn't notice Bakugo's eyes on her for a quick second, nor did she notice the click of his tongue, before he returned to his manga.

"Damn runt." He whispered.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied! Not at all! I love Izuku! I do... Very much... So much it hurts actually." Ochaco said from her chair, looking up at the floating girl above her. Hima looked down with a confused expression. Ochaco stared into her silver eyes before looking down and sighing.

"I love Izuku very much. I can't imagine life without him. It's just we haven't had much time to be... Us. We're fighting about One for All, then Izuku loses his quirk, and then Gas Lighter, and now we're in the middle of nowhere. Which you would think would help but we've got Eri and Bakugo with us. Add in my school work and contact with my parents... Who still have yet to meet Izuku! It's just... A lot..." Ochaco said, leaning her head back looking towards the ceiling. Her hand instinctively went towards the necklace Izuku had given her on their first, and only, date.
