Exploding Through Dimensions

Chapter 20: To The Hot Springs We go!

She wasn't sure how long she'd been staring at the ceiling in Tohru's bedroom, nor did she care at the moment until she felt movement stirring right next to her.

Never in her wildest dreams would she have thought that they would be stuck in another world, any world other than theirs that is. They have dealt with multiple strange things during their lives, but when your friends with someone like Mei Hatsume you always have to prepare yourself for anything.

But one thing she definitely didn't see coming was how complicated things seemed to get between her and Bakugo lately.

She had always thought that they worked rather well together when the occasion called for it, and typically she wouldn't have problems figuring him out. But ever since they left home, she was constantly being blind sighted with all of his constant mood swings. One moment he was his usual arrogant and aggressive self and the next he could be awfully sweet and caring, which she never thought she would see from him.

But then again, she was always hanging around with people like Deku who she knew Bakugo was still always competing with so she never had the chance to see that...until now.

She knew her explosive classmate really cared for people in his own way but...the worried way he looked at her back in the infirmary when she was laying there was different and had her questioning many things she wasn't prepared to ask.

But then just like many of the other times when she thought she had him all figured out...she blinked, and it was like none of it ever happened. And now after landing here, on the front steps of these nice people he could barely stand to be around her anymore without getting angrier than usual for something that wasn't even her fault.

"Hey, you're awake."

Mina's gentle voice made Uraraka slowly blink out of her thoughts, tilting head sideways to see her friend curiously watching her before lazily stretching out on the bed and snuggling right up to her to stare at the ceiling.

"You ok?"

"Yeah, I guess." Uraraka quietly answered.

"You sure? After all this time I can tell when something's bothering you 'Chako. Not to mention you woke up way too early."

Giggling Uraraka felt Mina playfully nudging her with her shoulder as the pink girl covered her mouth to suppress a yawn.

"Sorry, didn't mean to wake you."

"You didn't." Mina gave a quick glance at the door. "I just know that any minute someone might barge in and wake us all up anyway since we're supposed to go to the hot springs today or whatever."

"Right." Chewing on her bottom lip Uraraka had contemplated possibly not even going, opting to just to stay here instead. Maybe that would help avoid the possibility of running into a still furious Bakugo or a cat turning Kyo.

And right now, she wanted to be ss far away from both boys as possible.

"Nope." Mina determinedly shook her head. "Sorry to tell you this babe, but I know what you're thinking and that's not going to happen."

"But..."

"Is this still about what happened between you and that Kyo guy?"

"N-no!" Uraraka quickly covered her blushing face. It wasn't like she was attracted to Kyo in any way, but just the thought of what happened made her uncomfortable since she had never actually seen a naked man and definitely didn't expect it to happen right now in front of all her friends.

That was just embarrassing.

"Then what it is?" Mina raised herself on her elbows while observing the way Uraraka slowly removed her hands from her face before thoughtfully furrowing her brows. "This is about Bakugo...isn't it?" When she received only silence as a respond while the brunette averted her gaze, Mina could only imagine what all this was currently doing to her friend.
