Don't Let Go

midnight stroll

Uraraka made it home safely and dropped all her belongings off at the door. It was only 3pm, but it felt like the longest day ever. She was so tired from all the events of today, she didn't even bother to shower and she immediately flopped on the bed and conked out. She didn't even wake up until around 10pm.

She woke up in a daze.

My sleep schedule is so screwed. At least I have a day off tomorrow, or I'd be so mad.

She checked her phone saw a bunch of different messages from her friends. She hadn't really talked to anyone besides Mina all day, so it made sense.

As she was scrolling through her messages, her mind went back to Bakugo.

"I wonder how he's doing.", she said aloud.

She knew she followed him on Instagram, though he didn't follow her. He only had a business Instagram and not a normal private one like she did. Well, he did but he hadn't posted anything since grade school. She checked his activity and saw it was inactive. He did have a couple of photo shoots however for all the new hero big-shot stuff every upcoming hero had to go through on the business page. Bakugo didn't care for it at all, but he did it anyway, just to get it over with.

Sometimes I forget how attractive this guy really is, she thought. She paused.

Woah. Uh-uh. What was that?

She shook her head, grabbed her keys and threw on her coat. She began to go on a walk again. She actually had a cool motorcycle her grandparents had gotten her for her birthday, but it was such a precious and expensive gift to her, she didn't even want to use it unless she had to. She liked her walks anyway. She needed some fresh air. Clear her head.

She began walking and walking until she somehow found herself in front of the hospital again.

How did I do this? On accident??, she thought.

Maybe, I should visit him again. He could be awake? At this time of night, maybe not. But I kinda... kinda miss him? That's odd. I should definitely turn back now. Besides, won't visiting him at this time be kinda weird? Since we're not that close, me seeing him at 11 at night is kinda weird. What if he's lonely? I doubt he'd want my company though. You know, I think I will leave.

She turned around only to see the same blonde boy she was thinking about on a bench a few feet away. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

"You look ridiculous debating whether you were going to go inside or not.", he said.

"Bakugo! You scared me! What are you doing out here?", she said exasperated.

"Shouldn't I be asking you?", Bakugo scoffed. "I'm supposed to be here."

"I was taking a walk.", she said sheepishly.

"To the hospital?"

".... y e a."

Bakugo gave a small chuckle which caused a pair of butterflies to swarm her heart. She didn't like that. At all. He never laughed and it made her feel strange.

"Well don't just stand there like an idiot. Are you going back home or what?"

She shuffled over to him and plopped down on the seat.

"I don't have to. Just yet at least."

"Mhm, whatever."

"How are you feeling?", she asked.

"Fine."

"Aren't you cold?"

"No."

"Got anymore Japanese (English) in your vocabulary than yes and no."
