Knots in First Year | Bakugo x Deku

Chapter 3

"Do you want to go to the mall on Tuesday after class?" The brown-haired girl asked. Bakugo let out a quiet "Tch" at that, knowing they train on Tuesdays. If Midoriya blew off training for the mall, the blonde would've been annoyed.

"Oh um, actually, I train with Kacchan after class on Tuesdays and Thursdays." Damn right, nerd. "C-Can we do tomorrow after class by chance?" The greenette added with his face freezing up.  Tomorrow is super close, Midoriya thought nervously, realizing what he just asked of her. Bakugo wasn't really relieved or tensed. He was just focused on hearing the impending decision at this point. Ugh this is so dramatic, he thought to himself. Get it over with already.

"OH wow, that's- s-so soon," Uraraka said with a nervous tick in her voice, scratching the back of her neck. It's not like she didn't want to do it tomorrow, she just didn't want to seem too eager to see him too soon.

"OH I MEAN- WE CAN DO IT ANOTHER DAY-" Midoriya yelled anxiously, waving his hands around and his face bright red out of nerves. Was it nerves? Embarrassment? He couldn't really tell.

"N-NO, tomorrow is perfect! See you in the common room at 6, Deku?" She said with a smile.

"Oh- yep! Sounds good! I'll see you then okay?" Midoriya waved to her as he went back inside the dorm building. She stood outside for a second taking in what just happened, her face and eyes completely white as if stunned that this conversation even happened. Bakugo sat on his balcony for a few extra minutes after hearing that. Tomorrow. That's so sudden. Since when did pink cheeks like HIM? He thought about following them tomorrow, but quickly stopped caring and just decided to stay in the dorms.

~ Midoriya's POV ~

Wow. I couldn't believe I just got asked out on a date. And better yet, with Uraraka! She's such an amazing person so the date should go well, right? Ah, I shouldn't have any doubts. So why, why does it feel like there's even just a hint of doubt in my stomach? It's not because of Uraraka, I couldn't imagine anything about her could make the date go wrong. Maybe it's me... I just, can't understand... why this doesn't feel completely right. I never really thought about relationships before, they've just never been a priority to me before UA. I do remember one singular conversation I had with my mom when I was younger, 'Izuku, when it's meant to be, it'll feel right.' I can't completely decide if this is the feeling that she meant. I can't get it out of my head... I mean, how does one know what 'right' feels like?

I kept thinking as I went back up to my dorm room. I honestly couldn't tell if I walked past anyone or if anyone called my name. I was so checked out of reality and stuck in my head... that is until I felt a small zap on my forehead as I totally walked into someone.

"Woah, hey Midoriya, you okay dude?" It was Kaminari. I had no idea he was there. Did he just accidentally zap me into reality with a small static from his quirk?

"S-Sorry Kaminari, I was in my head. I didn't realize you were there." I said very apologetically.

"Hey dude it's okay! You were training extra with Bakugo tonight, right? Is he back with you?"

"Y-yea, sorry I was talking to Uraraka just now so I didn't see where he went exactly, but knowing Kacchan he probably went back up to his room." I wonder why he's looking for Kacchan.

"Oh, alright thanks!" Kaminari ran up the stairs to Kacchan's room while I still headed back to mine. I needed to get myself out of my own head. I honestly just want to take a bath and go to sleep...

~ Bakugo's POV ~

That damn nerd really gets everything he wants doesn't he? I've seen the way he looks at Round Face, and the way she looks at him. Honestly I'm surprised they didn't go out earlier. Personally I would've been fine if they didn't go out at all- Huh? What does that even mean? Nevermind. I just want to take a bath-
*Knock knock*
What the hell?
