miracle romance (bakugou x reader love story)

arcade

Sunday came faster than expected, and before you knew it, so did the knock on your door while you dabbed on eye glitter. Must be Ochako or Mina, as it's a custom for them to pick up the girls before heading down.

"Almost done," you say, though you open the door anyway to see Ochako already dressed and ready to go in light washed jean shorts and a pink crewneck.

Her eyes widen when she sees you, a delighted gasp coming from her pout, "You always look so cute!"

She's being extra nice, complimenting almost everything about your outfit in a question. Usually, her bubbliness is enough to keep the conversation flowing between you.

"How do you keep your shoes so white?"

"I don't use these too often."

"Is that necklace real gold?"

"No, it's not."

"The little shirt and big pants is the trend now, right?"

"I guess," you say, looking over the light blue baby tee and baggy jeans you wore.

"Are those new nails? I've always wondered where you get them done?"

You looked at her for a few seconds before blushing and admitting, "I did them. It was getting a little too expensive so I just used a youtube tutorial to do them myself," you trailed off a little at the end there, self-consciously uncomfortable when she stepped closer to take a closer look.

"Wah that's so cool," she awed. You hope she doesn't notice the bad job on your right pinky nail, or the crooked charm...actually, you hope she doesn't look at the entire right hand.

"That bear is so cute."

You agreed, looking down at the floor but back up again, "...Maybe I can do your nails sometime."

"Really?" She smiled widely then, "Sure! I'd really like that!"

You were beaming inside.

Ochako's a really nice girl, and you'd love to be closer to her. She's a hard worker, a good fighter, not to mention super cute. She's probably the easiest one to talk to out of the bunch when it's just you two.

You follow her down the stairs to meet up with the rest of the party, telling her that you like her outfit too and she smiles shyly, telling you that it's so simple compared to yours and how she wishes she had more style.

Oh sweet Ochako, you think, feeling warm and optimistic about the day now that you have Ochako to talk to, and you're about to reassure that you love her style when the two of you finally get to the ground floor and she's making a beeline to a group near the doors.

"Deku," her bouncy feet stop next to the green haired boy, leaning in to smile brighter up at him.

You look around. As per usual, the small group someone started turned into a whole class field trip.

Momo and Kyouka are deep in conversation. Mina and Toru are giggling over something on her phone. Tsuyu easily joins Ochako's animated talk with the rest of their friend group.

You give a small smile to Koda when your eyes cross paths, grateful he made it out of his room too, and stick between him and Sato on the walk to the arcade, where you don't know what to do when everyone seemingly knows where to go.

Though, something does catch your eye in the ever-glowing neon sea, "Koda, look. There's that squishmallow you've been looking for. And Rilakkuma."

Koda's eyes light up, and now you're both standing side by side in front of the Squishmallow claw machine, just admiring the special edition plushies.
