Don't Let Go

wanna sleepover?

They were both happy that it was pretty dark at night with only a couple of beach lights to shine on their faces. Uraraka began to draw random squiggles in the sand and Bakugo just gazed up at the stars.

"You know. I kinda get what you mean.", Bakugo said shrugging his shoulders.

"About what?", she said still drawing in the sand.

"The beach is calming I guess. I thought only an idiot would come out here in the middle of February."

"Hey! Its not even the coldest month and it's only the 13th, that's like....oh you know it is the middle of February.", she giggled.

"You're an idiot.", he snorted.

"Lost track of time.", she said rolling her eyes. "I swore it was just the first. Seemed like everything's been happening so fast."

"I guess."

"You think time has been going by slow lately?"

"No.", he said looking up. "I just think that..."

"What?", she asked blinking twice.

Bakugo gained a pink blush and scratched his nose.

"I'm just trying to enjoy every moment lately... that I spend with you."

Uraraka blinked once more then fanned her face quickly.

"I, ha! You're just s-so sweet, B-Bakugo! I'm s-so happy that you feel that day! Way!"

"Why's that?", he asked raising his eyebrow.

"C-cause!", she squeaked. "Well..."

"Sheesh, spit it out.", he snorted.

"I, uh feel the same.", she said wearily.

It would be cliche for me to tell him how I feel at this point. Besides, we just talked about his past trauma. That would be selfish of me. We should just enjoy this moment. I'll pray for him more importantly...

"Ochaco!"

"Wha-huh?", she sputtered. "What's wrong?"

"You're spacing out again. Are you alright, I said it's good we're on the same page.", he said putting his hand on her head.

"O-oh, I'm fine!", she giggled waving. "I'm sorry. I'm just-thinking...of what I'm going to wear to the reunion tomorrow."

"I thought you weren't going?", he asked.

"I-I don't know. It could be fun?", she laughed. "I might as well. I have nothing else to do."

Bakugo nodded his head, stood up and dusted his pants.

"You don't have to stress about it."

"The reunion? Oh, no worries I'm not stressed.", she sighed.

"Not that. I meant what you're going to wear. You'll look pretty no matter what."

Uraraka became visibly flustered as his comment and Bakugo was waiting for that reaction. He smirked and got closer to her.

"I'm sorry, did I say something pink cheeks?"

"No! No! Y-you'll look pretty, too!"

"I'll look pretty?", he laughed moving away from her face.

"I mean, you'll look hot! I mean handsome. I MEANT handsome. Or good? You'll look good. You'll look fine.", she finally exhaled rubbing her temples.

This was so embarrassing.

"Appreciate the compliment.", he snickered blushing.

"Mhm-hm.", she practically whispered.
