What is Love?

Christmas Extra.2

This is a Christmas Special! It takes place 7 years after  graduation (Making the characters about 23ish) and is told from Bakugo's  perspective. This will not relate to the main story in any way. This  extra will be about twice as long than the normal episodes. I hope this  doesn't seem too rushed but I didn't want to make it too long. I Hope  you all enjoy this little side story!

Christmas Extra!

"Damn  its cold" I mutter to myself. I'm not sure why I decided to go for a  walk, with it being as cold as it is. Hell, I don't even know where I'm  going, I'm just walking down the sidewalk aimlessly. However, the winter  scenery does jog my memory, reminding me of my highschool days. It all  seems so long ago despite only a few years ago. I chuckle to myself,  remembering the time Uraraka and I were snowed in the dorms together.  Everyone else had left to go home for the holidays, but we didn't leave  soon enough so it was just us. We stayed up all night talking and doing  stupid shit like making a giant pillow forts and other crap. 'I wonder what happened to her?'.  I see her on the news once in a while. Apparently she's become a pretty  good hero and has saved a lot of people. It's nice to know we've both  become great people, even though I'm still fighting over the title of  'top hero' with that damn Deku. Despite not being the best, I'm quite  content with where I am now. I check my watch and see that its nearly  three. 'Maybe I should head home and start an early dinner.' I start heading back to my apartment when someone runs into my shoulder.

I  turn and say "Hey watch where the hell you're going!" Quickly adding  "You could get hurt! I can't have people getting hurt considering I'm a  hero." solely because I have an image to uphold.

The person stops in their tracks. "Bakugo? Is that you?"

This voice... No way. Looking back at me is none other than Ochaco Uraraka. Pro hero Uravity and my high school sweetheart.

"It is you! It's been so long, time just flies by doesn't it Bakugo?" She wraps me in a hug.

"Hey get off me!" I shove her off and dust off my clothes a bit.

She  laughs a bit. "Sorry, I forgot how much you don't like touching and  stuff. It's just been a while that's all. I mean I haven't seen you  since we were back in UA, especially considering..." She trails off.

I know exactly what she means though. We broke up shortly after graduation and haven't talked since. All because I was stupid.

I  nod. "Yeah it has been a while." Maybe this is my chance to fix this.  "Do you think maybe we could catch up?" Wait what am I doing?! She  probably hates me and is just being nice so as to not cause a scene!  "Ne-never mind! I mean you probably hate my guts. I don't know why I  thought otherwise." I internally scream at myself 'Whats wrong with you! You absolute fool! She dumped you!'

"Do  you really still think that?" She gives an overly exasperated sigh.  "Bakugo, we were just kids. I don't hate you, it just didn't work out.  We both wanted different things." She hangs her head for a little bit.  "I just wish it didn't have to end like that." Recovering her usual  perky self. "That doesn't mean we cant be friends! I've been wondering  how you've been anyways. I see you on TV but its not the same."

She was thinking of me? My heart skips a beat. 'No dammit! You ruined it and you don't get to second guess yourself now.'  "Well I was going to the park." I lie. "Heard they opened an ice  skating place for the season so I figured I'd check it out. Your welcome  to tag along." I say in hopes maybe I can fix letting her go all those  years ago.

"Why not." She shrugs. "Like I said, I didn't have anything to do anyways."

So  we start our walk to the park, Uraraka talking about how her life has  been. She had kept in touch with most of our class so she talked about  how some had gotten married, others had become great hero's themselves.  It seems like everyone had moved off though whereas I had only moved  about fifteen minutes away from where I grew up. 'I missed this.  Listening to her talk. She's so damn perky but I don't mind, it's kind  of nice. I wonder if I hadn't screwed up, if maybe we would still be  together.'
