Best Of Me --- A Bakuraka FanFiction

Chapter Eight: Have Some Fun

Bakugo POV:

A week's gone by since that eventful night, and I still can't get over what I said to her on the rooftop. She doesn't seem too weirded out by it and has been acting normally as if I hadn't said anything in the first place. So why am I so worried about it?

I sit in my room looking over the study guide for the next week's chemistry exam when my door flies open causing me to jump and accidentally chuck the study guide behind me.

'What the hell, Shitty Hair!' I yell as Kirishima comes through the door, 'There's this thing called knocking.'

He grins at me, 'Yeah, I know, but if you don't hurry up, we're gonna be late!'

I just look at him, unsure what he's talking about, 'Late for what exactly?'

'The dance!'

'Not going.'

'Oh come on! Why not?'

I roll my eyes, 'One. I could care less about that sort of thing. Two. I have nothing to wear. And three. It's not like I have anyone to go with like you and Dunce Face do.'

He comes over and sits down on the bed next to me, 'One. You might actually have a good time if you loosen up a little. Two. I've got you covered and picked up some clothes for you. Three. You can just hang out with us anyway. And who knows, you might meet someone......plus there's free food so.'

'Why are you so insistent I go?'

'Because you need to have some fun every once in a while. You're always studying or training. Here,' he takes a set of formal clothes out of his bag, 'Put these on and meet me in the common area in ten. I'm not taking no for an answer.' He gives me a look to back up his statement.

I give in, knowing he meant it, 'Fine, but I probably won't stay the whole time.'

Kirishima smiles, 'Sweet! At least you're going! I'll see you in ten!' He leaves the room, turning to give me a thumbs up before shutting the door behind him.

I unfold the clothes to see a red button up shirt, a grey vest with white roses around the side and back, black tie and black dress pants. Might as well. I stand up from the bed and go to get changed.

Ochako POV:

I slip the pink and white dress over my head, the bottom of the frilled skirt coming nearly to my knees, putting on some red high heels to compliment my black tights, the shoes coming up to spiral around my ankles, tying off in a bow at the back.

I look at myself in the mirror on the back of my door and smile, trying to adjust the skirt of my dress when Mina comes in, squealing at the sight of me.

'You. Look. GORGEOUS!!!'

'So do you!' I start squealing too, hopping up and down. Mina was wearing a simple sleeveless periwinkle blue dress that came to the middle of her thighs, though with anything Mina wears, she gives it her own flare, having added a red sash that came up into a bow that looked almost like a carnation on the right side of her chest.

'The others are waiting downstairs,' she says, 'You ready?'

I nod and start for the door before she stops me, 'I almost forgot! Here.' She hands me a black hair ribbon with a white rose in the center, 'I thought this would be a nice touch to your dress.' She beams at me.

'It's beautiful!' I say, placing the bow in my hair, 'Thank you!'

She winks, 'No problem! Now let's go strut our stuff!'
