Welcome To UA High

Chapter 48

Jolting awake she felt sweat dripping down her neck. Panting, she swung her legs over the edge of the bed as she placed her head in her hands. There was no way she could fall asleep now.

After a minute she stood up quietly stepping out of her room. Tip toeing down the hall and trying to be as quiet as possible not to wake anyone. She made her way down until she reached the last door.

Taking another cautionary look down the hall she gently knocked on the door hoping the person would hear her. After a minute of silence. She knocked again this time a little harder. Frustrated she tried knocking again "Bakugo!" whisper yelling until she started hearing movement from inside.

As the door swung open, she was greeted by a groggy looking Bakugo who was rubbing his eyes still half asleep. "What?" he murmured. Not getting a respond he slowly opened his eyes "Round-face?"

"Hi..."

"The hell? Shit what time is it?" he said looking over his shoulder at his alarm clock which read 1:00 am. Groaning, he glanced back at her waiting for her to say something.

Wide eyed and speechless Uraraka felt her cheeks slowly redden as she continued to stare at Bakugos bare chest with her mouth slightly open not meaning to as her eyes slowly trial down his lower half which was loosely covered by gray baggy sweatpants.

Frowning in confusion at her reaction he followed her gaze suddenly stiffening. Glancing down the hall he quickly walked back inside his room motioning for her to follow as he dug through his drawer and quickly pulled on a white shirt.

Quietly closing the door behind her, she didn't dare turn around shutting her eyes tightly.

"Round-face."

"Huh?!"

Smirking he rubbed his nose "You can turn around now."

"It's alright. I'm fine right here." She said placing her forehead and nose against the door.

Rolling his eyes, he walked over pulling her by the arm and letting her sit on his bed. "Come on, it's too late for this shit." Pulling out a chair he tiredly sat down in front of her letting out a yawn. "Alright talk."

"We-well I just wanted to know if you were awake?" She shyly said not meeting his eyes and fidgeting with her hands.

"So, you woke me up to see if I was awake?"

"Um sort of..." Embarrassed, she quickly got up. "You know what forget I was here."

"Let me guess...you had another nightmare?" he scoffed watching her sit back down nodding. "How long?"

"Months."

Clicking his tongue, he looked around his room. "And I'm guessing you haven't told anyone." Watching her shake her head he gave her a deadpanned look. "Why the hell not?"

"I don't want to bother them."

Chuckling to himself he got up walking towards a tall black box over by the corner. "Round-face we've talked about this. Those losers are your friends. Isn't that what they're there for?"

"I don't want them to think I'm..."

"Weak? I honestly don't think they'll think that. Hell, there's nothing wrong with asking for help every once in a while. In fact, I think you'll be stronger for it. I had to learn that the hard way."

Looking down she silently nodded.

Watching her closely he saw her hesitate. "What is it?"

Startled she quickly looked up at him "Oh um...I was just wondering if I could-"
