💥Katsuki Bakugo's pov💥

Taking a deep breath I readjust my tie and the cuffs of my button down shirt for probably the fiftieth time in the last thirty minutes but no matter how I had them it just didn’t feel right. My hands were sweating and my heart was pounding like I just ran five miles but I hadn’t moved faster than a walk all day. 

Glancing over at the clock I take another deep breath, not wanting to freak out before Ochako even here. Actually, maybe it was smarter to freak out now so she wouldn’t have to deal with it later when I had to ask her. Maybe I should just back out now. 

“Hey buddy, how’s it going?” Ejirou asks, placing a steady hand on my shoulder. I lick my dry lips and look over at him, not even bothering to try and hide the stress on my face. “Not great. Look man, maybe we shouldn’t do this.” I reason, starting to second guess myself and the plan to do this. “What? You’re not about to get cold feet are you?” The redhead asked, sounding genuinely shocked. I don’t answer and look over at the clock again. twenty minutes till she should be here. 

“No way, there is no way I’m about to let you back down. Why are you worried?” He asks, turning to face me head on. I’m silent for a minute before I finally meet his eyes and sigh. “What if she says no? What if she realizes this isn’t what she wants right now and leaves? What if I’m just moving too fast and she doesn’t want this till she’s older?” I ask, starting to name the things that are on my mind. 

“Bakubro, I promise those are not things you have to worry about. Ochako loves you, and I’m willing to bet money on the fact that she is going to say yes.” Ejirou says, a small empathetic smile on his face. “You are Katsuki fucking Bakugo, you’re going to be the number one hero and nothing is going to stop you from getting your dream girl!” He yells, making me smile. “You’re right.. Thank you Ejirou.”

“Anytime Katsuki. Now let me fix your damn tie.”

Ochako’s pov

(earlier that morning)

This morning when I woke up Katsuki was already gone, leaving me a note on the bedside table telling me he was busy with whatever secret project he was a part of and to meet with him later. I thought it was a little strange, normally he would have just woken me up to tell me but I tried not to think too hard about it and got a quick shower. 

Humming along to a random song I walk out of the bathroom with a towel around my body and one over my hair, pausing when I noticed a pink skinned girl sitting on my bed, a happy smile on her face. “Hey bestie!” The alien yells, kicking her legs back and forth as she layed on her stomach, resting her head on her hands. “Hi Mina, what are you doing in my bed?” I ask, starting to laugh.

“I’m here to hangout bitch! Your boyfriend is gonna be gone all day so that automatically makes it a girls day. That’s law.” She says in a ‘duh’ voice, sitting up and hoping off the bed. “Alright?” I say, still a little confused as she walks over to my dresser. “Sit your ass down, I’m gonna pick you out an outfit and do your makeup.” She orders pointing to my desk chair. 

Around two hours later I was dressed in a pretty floral sundress that went down to my calf, my makeup had been done probably the most thoroughly it ever had been. I was a little suspicious of why Mina was doing this but she claimed she just wanted to hangout and I didn’t have any reason not to believe her, but it was still weird. 

(The dress I thought of )

“Alright, off to do our second girls day activity!” Mina says, pulling on her shoes

“Alright, off to do our second girls day activity!” Mina says, pulling on her shoes. “Wait what? We’re leaving? But I’m so overdressed! You’re literally still in your jeans.” I argue, looking at her with wide eyes. “Did I ask? Get to steppin girly!” I sigh but do as she says, walking out the door of my dorm room. I held Mina’s hand as we went down the stairs so I didn’t fall over by tripping over the long skirt of the dress.

I waved at Momo and Shoto who were down in the common room as we got down there and they waved back with… knowing smiles? Why was everyone being so weird today!

“Where are we even going Mina?” I ask as we get outside, trying to figure out what to start walking in. “Let’s start with walking to ‘our’ store for snacks.” She smiles, not letting go of my hand. I smile back and start walking, happy to create another memory on this same path. Mina and I used to walk to this store all the time before I got pregnant, everything just seemed to get more busy after that. 

We talk between ourselves during the walk, talking about the boys and our class work. I told her about what happened yesterday when the baby kicked and she told me about the progress her and Ejirou were making in their relationship. I was hoping Eji would ask her out soon, maybe I should talk to him about that when I see him. Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen Ejirou or Denki yet today. I wonder where they are?

“Here we are!” Mina cheers happily, opening the door for me and following me inside the store. We walk through the familiar isles and grab all the usual snacks like pocky and chocolate before checking out, ignoring the look from the cashiers and other customers at my I was all glammed up for a corner store. 

“Alright where to now?” I ask, already starting to eat the strawberry pocky, lipstick be damned. Mina scowled at me, worried about me messing up her ‘master piece’ on my face. “We are gonna walk back to the school because Ejirou is an idiot and forgot his homework there so I told him we could go get it the next time we were out.”

I make a confused face, wondering why she hadn’t told him to get it himself like she usually would but nod, starting to lead the way back to the school. I knew one of the side doors locks was broken because of Denki and it was class code not to tell the teachers about it so we could sneak in for scenarios like this. 

A couple minutes later we were walking up to the school and I pulled the door open, freezing as my eyes traveled to the floor, pink rose petals laying on the floor in a line. “What the hell?” I say out loud, turning to see Mina with her phone out, recording, motioning for me to go on. I feel butterflies start building in my stomach as I put everything together, getting all dressed up, keeping me busy, the weird smiles, Katsuki, Denki and Eji’s absence. 

Katsuki was here somewhere and I had a feeling I knew where. Memories come flooding back to the first time I was wandering these halls looking for Katsuki, back in our first year when he asked me to be his girlfriend. He was standing in a hall towards the back of the school, the hallway between our classroom and the gym, and it looked like the petals were leading right that way. 

I started walking faster, almost jogging the best I could in the heels Mina put me in. As I got to the last corner I slowed to a walk and glanced at my best friend who was smiling as wide as possible, and it looked like she might already be close to crying. 

This was it, the final turn and I would be looking at Katsuki, I could just feel it. Thinking I would need time for this moment I paused but found I had no hesitations, knowing how sure I was about loving Katsuki. Here goes nothing.

Cliffhanger! I hope you enjoyed this chapter, the next one should be up in a day or two :)

Thank you for reading, I appreciate you a lot <3
