my idiot [Kamijirou and Kacchako]

chapter three

Jirou sat in the dorm common room fiddling with her keychain. She checked her watch for the fifth time in ten minutes. 11:48. They were supposed to meet up at 11:30. In all honesty, she should have predicted this. The missing three were terrible at time management.

She was just about to text their group chat (titled 'No Signal More Like Not Single' for those interested) when Uraraka came bursting out of the elevator, spilling the contents of the backpack she was carrying everywhere.

"What took you so long?" Jirou asked as she helped Uraraka pick up her mess.

"Oh, my makeup took longer than expected and then I couldn't find my phone... or my bag... or my wallet," Uraraka apologized, embarrassed.

"You and Kami are so clumsy and disorganized it makes me want to gouge my own eyes out," Jirou said.

"Speaking of, where are the boys?" asked Uraraka. Jirou shook her head.

"Okay, I understand Kaminari being late, but Bakugou is usually on time," Uraraka continued, falling deep in thought.

"I think Sero said something last night about ambushing them."

"If those guys have them, we're not gonna see either of our boyfriends for a while."

Sure enough, it was nearly noon when they finally showed up. The girls had found some breakfast, Jirou nibbling on toast and Uraraka feasting on a Pop-Tart, and were chatting on a couch at the same time the elevator finally opened to reveal the boys.

"Jirou!" Kaminari cried immediately after stepping into the common area and ran towards his girlfriend, the music note charm on his necklace flying, and lifted her up off the couch then pulled her into a tight hug.

"Your makeup! You look so pretty!" he said after setting her down. "You look, like, really really hot!" Jirou scoffed and lightly swatted his arm but smiled at her shoes and blushed.

Uraraka smiled and jogged over to Bakugou, who was meandering over with the speed of a tortoise.

"Hey there, Lord Explosion Murder," she said, smirking. She often poked fun at his try at a hero name but secretly loved its dorky, dweeb-like qualities. She often tried to keep those same aspects when she was helping him brainstorm new potential candidates.

"Hey there, Space Cadet," Bakugou returned her smirk and opened his arms for a hug. Uraraka always enjoyed when his softer side came out, and she noticed it made an appearance quite often around her.

"I heard you got a surprise attack this morning," she mused as they made their way to Kaminari and Jirou.

"Those idiots were just being stupid," he growled.

"I dunno, it takes a lot to catch you off guard."

"Yeah, well, I was asleep. Try it when I'm awake and you're dead on impact."

"We'll see about that." Uraraka gave him a determined smile and he rolled his eyes with a grin, pushing her playfully to the side.

"I could take you anyday, Kirby."

"Yesterday's training session says otherwise."

"OH, YOU LITTLE-"

Uraraka shrieked and giggled, dodging Bakugou's attack, and ran over to their friends. Leaping onto the couch, she ducked and poked her head up to stick her tongue out at him.

"Meanie," she said with a huff. Kaminari laughed and gave her his hand to help her up.

"Well, now that we're all here, we can head out," he said. Jirou nodded then frowned.
