Don't Let Go

i miss him

Ochaco closed her door and slid on the floor with a deep exhale. She kicked off her shoes and put on her slippers.

"I can't believe I did that. I can't BELIEVE I just did that. Why did I do that?", she said hugging her knees.

But he hugged me back..., she thought.

"He hugged me back!", she said giggling and shuffling her feet. "I thought he was gonna push me away for a second there!"

She got up and had a slight skip in her step to the kitchen, and then stopped.

Was this the last time we could really hang out? The only reason we hung out to begin with was to trade apologies. To see if he was okay. Now that, that's over...I don't really have a reason to spend time with him...

She sat in her kitchen chair with a slump.

I didn't think I'd be this sad. I didn't feel this way before... would texting him be weird?

DING DONG

Bakugo?, she thought running toward the door and flinging it open.

"Bakugo! -

OH, haha.

"Hey, Tsu. Jiro", Ochaco laughed nervously.

Tsu stared at her for a solid five seconds. She looked back at Jiro who had the same surprised expression.

"Why?", Jiro asked with her arms crossed.

She knew once she screwed up in front of Jiro or Tsu, there was no making excuses. Now both of them were here.

"I missed you?", Uraraka said shyly.

"I think you miss someone else a little more.", Tsu said walking inside. "Why did you mistake us for Bakugo?"

"It's...it's a long story."

"Well it's 4pm. We have time.", Tsu said tapping her phone.

Uraraka sighed and started making them some tea....for the tea.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE.

(I'm so lame, forgive me readers.)

Uraraka goes over everything that's gone on the past week, what they already knew and what was new. She talked about his horrible attitude but his questioning change of heart.

"So...do you think you could see yourself with him?", Jiro said sipping her tea.

"If I'm being honest.", she said stirring the tea. "I'm trying to figure it out myself. It started so all of a sudden. I know I should give a solid answer, but I'm so up and down right now. I feel like my quirk is messing with my head."

"I should call Mina over.", Tsu said. "She was here when you were still sad. Now you're in love with him, and it's only been a week."

"I'm not in LOVE with him.", she said flustered. "Just...infatuated, with him-I guess. And don't bother, she's seeing a movie with Kirishima. Probably less movie, though."

"If you wanna do that stuff with Bakugo, you should just ask him."

"N-NO! Tsu, you're so-so straight forward...I wish I was like you."

"Hey, don't say that. There's other ways that being straightforward. Dating Kaminari took a lot of beating around of the bush and straight denial. I wanted nothing to do with my feelings. At least your trying to face yours.", Jiro said rubbing her back.

"Yeah, I'm sorry Ochaco, you know I didn't mean it out that way. It's just easier to see where your heart it when you ask the realer questions."

"I know. I guess that's why I'm so scared. In a way, he's kind of like Deku, so focused on his future, which is amazing! I just know there was no room in Midoriya's heart for me. I just feel like if he couldn't, Bakugo doesn't even seem like an option."
