The Bakurocket!

Hitting a Hot Blooded Wall

After the weirdest day ever, Uraraka was finally heading back home while trying not to give too much thought about Tsuyu's... uh... joke...

***

"T-t-t-suyu-chan, what the hell were you thinking?!" Ochako hurriedly asked as soon as the rest of their classmates were -thankfully- heading to P.E. class, acting like nothing had happened (since they had all laughted it off already). But before the poor frog-girl could click her tongue, Deku and Iida joined them talking almost at the same time with only their sttutering levels differing each other's panic attacks.

"Why would you joke like that out of blue?!" whinned Deku, all nervous.

"And why in the midle of class?! My precious notes wouldn't be lacking a whole two paragraphs!" Tenya complained.

At that last nonsensical remark, both girls and Izuku just eyed Iida judgmentaly.

"I mean..." then the class pres cleaned his throat as smootly as diying from asthma, but somehow still holding a dignified tone. "I'll let you have five minutes. See you in changing room, Midoriya." and so he went.

Izuku sighed.

"A-asui-san, I know you're always straight foward, but aren't you... worried with how Uraraka-san will interpretate it?" he asked, playing nervoussly with the already quite messy tye. It was so cute, but Ochako couldn't bring herself to enjoy it, thanks to the circunstances. He kept talking so adorably awkward that the last part only came up as a whinning whisper "Also... I don't think Kacchan will treat it very lightly either..."

"Kero~ But his starring was a real bother." Ok. Now both Deku and Uraraka froze  on spot. The terrifying possibility of truly having a Bakugou crushing on the anti-gravity girl. Seeing their evident despair and conplaints, the sweet frog girl frowned, apologyzing. "Sorry if saying that disturbed you, Ochako-chan..."

Without much of a choice, and feeling actually a bit better, the brunette smiled to her friend saying that it was Ok. And it was... really! Izuku took his leave to P.E. first and while her frog friend grabbed the uniform she would change into, a tiny little question started to tickle Ochako's mind...

"So... you mean... like... Bakugou was really you know... starring...? At me...?"

Tsuyu looked at Uraraka. Her round frog eyes blinked quite slowly and the big mouth seemed to curve just a little. But it could be from worriyng.

"Yes."

"AH!!" Ochako screamed, so terribly sudden that Asui jumped all the way to the wall, alarmed. "I RE-MEM-BERR NOW!" a tsunami of relief just runs down her whole body as she explains "This morning while coming to UA... I saw him walking and eating a sandwich, looking all grumpy... So I decided to reach to him and say Good Morning..."

"Aham..." said a tensed Tsuyu, still glued to the wall.

"But since he told me to 'Fuck off' I changed my mind, took his sandwich and floated away! See... he doesn't like me! He's just after my head and blood~!" concluded Uraraka smilling sweetly.

And the two of them laugh all relaxed... Until Tsuyu also speaks.

"Nah. Pretty sure he likes you ~kero." silence fell, and the amphibious girl jumped down, grabbing her P.E. uniform. "See you at the changing room~! kero."

Later that day, after classes, Uraraka made a turn at the riverbank that would take her to a nice little convenience store before reaching her home. Althought she really liked walking by the Riverbank, this time she just sighed, unable to enjoy it.

After the not-that-clarifying conversation, her friends tried to consolate her by afirming and reafirming that Tsuyu was just joking. As you know... these amphibious are so playfull...

But, somehow, the lack of reaction of Bakugou was that one thing making her so unsure. He did try to explode Asui right after she spoke, of course, but that was it. During the whole last term he acted normal (for his standtard at least), not trying to kill any of them...

Maybe... He's maturing? She hoped so... the alternative could be him dealing with some major trouble, and that idea made her uncomfortable.

It was at this exact point that she bumped onto someone. Not a light bump, like shoulders bumping neither a stumbling over someone else's feet. A hard direct-to-wall front bump, forehead right-to-the-chest. She hurriedly apologized just to face that typical hot blooded frown.

"Took you long enough to actually look at where you're going, huh?" grunted the one and only Katsuki Bakugou. Wait. Does that mean he just kept standing right there on her path until she bumped on him?? "Now. Let's get things straight... Uraraka."
