Bakugo

I kicked my door open and slammed it closed, leaving my hand on the frame. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I was struggling to catch my breath. It's never hit me so hard before. Why did her smile affect me so much now? She always smiles like that. Just thinking about her was starting to feel... deep.

"What the fuck..." my voice was shaking.

This wasn't like before. Not like the branding. That was just lust, and nothing else. This was...

I know I liked her, but... shit.

...

...

Fresh air-- I need fresh air.

The breeze was brisk on my balcony. I was only in a t-shirt so the cold was sinking into my body fast. It was a good feeling, helped my racing mind focus.

...

...

Uraraka...

...

...

Ochako...

...

...

I wanted her.

...

I wanted her bad.

...

I wanted...

To hold her. To make her smile. To make her laugh. To make her feel safe. To protect her.

...

...

...

...

I wanted to protect her.

...

...

For the first time in my life... I didn't want to be on the front line.

When it came to Ochako, I wanted to hang back to make sure she was safe. Even though I knew she could take care of herself, I wanted to be there for her. I wanted to be her hero.

Being a hero was all about beating the villain.

At least... that's what it was for me.

It's about saving people. And this is the first time I truly wanted to.

I want Ochako to be by my side in battle. I trusted her, and I wanted her to trust me.

Memories of when Ochako told me that our classmates found me important came to mind. And then all those band practices. All those rehearsals for the concert that totally murdered everyone's doubts about us!

...

I looked up at the evening sky. There were so many colors in the clouds. Autumn sunsets were always the most colorful.

...

Ochako...

...

I'll be your hero.

I'll surpass everyone. Hell, I'll even let our loser classmates tail behind me! If I'm important to them, let them follow.

I'll have a fucking army.
