What is Love?

Fireworks Ep.9

A/N: I would like to say I revised the first chapters a bit (yay). Nothing fancy just some general touch-ups! The base story line is still the same meaning it isn't going to be necessary to re-read to understand future chapters. And now I present, the next chapter woooo! ~ Des

Chapter 9: Fireworks

.

The weekend arrives in a flash. I woke up to my phone screaming at me at midnight. Apparently, I had accidentally set my date reminder for twelve AM, not PM. Of course, by then I had slept just long enough that I let my excitement for the upcoming date get the best of me. I would drift off for a few minutes at a time before quickly waking back up. It's now 10:30 and Bakugo are coming to pick me up at noon. I rub my eyes in hopes to shed some of my drowsiness but it doesn't work. I stumble into the bathroom and splash some cold water on my face, reliving my tiredness a little. 'Ok, I'm gonna need some backup.' I send a quick text asking for some help in the girl's group chat.

.

Uraraka: "Guys I didn't get any sleep last night and my date with Bakugo-kun is at noon. I'm about to fall asleep, help. TwT"

Mina: "Oh up all night? Was Bakugo there? Hehehe."

Hagakure: "Honestly I'm still surprised they're even going out at all."

Kyoka: "If your that tired, pick up some 8-hour energy stuff. It works really well, just try not to pass out once the eight hours are up. The sudden energy drop hits hard."

Kyoka: "You go from like 100 to 0 real fast if you aren't used to it."

Momo: "Energy drinks are bad! They'll make her heart explode!"

Kyoka: "Will not! I use them all the time for late night study sessions."

.

The girls continue to argue and I end up silencing my phone to stop the constant dinging.

'Maybe I should try one of those energy things'.

I go over to my closet and, after many trial and error, I pick out a cute pink skirt matched with a blue sleeveless top. I then decide to put on some light makeup, I want to look perfect. After putting it on, I recall what happened on our last 'date' and grab an oversized denim jacket as well and tie it around my waist. Bakugo gave it to me after class the other day. He said, "It looked good on me and he doesn't need it anymore.". Wearing his clothing is kind of like a sign that we're dating for real I guess. I feel my cheeks heat up at the thought. I check the time and it's almost noon. I grab my purse then hear a knock on the door.

I open the door to answer and start to say "Bakugo your ea-" but stop halfway through. "Izuku what the hell are you doing here?!" I say.

"Just here me out! Please." He holds his hands up in a defensive pose.

"Fine... You have five minutes." I say. I step out of my dorm and close my door behind me.

"I just wanted to say, I really am sorry. I've had a lot of time to reflect and... You and Bakugo were right, I shouldn't have pushed. This time I'm actually going to stop and leave you alone, I swear." He rubs the back of his neck. "If we could be friends again, I would love that. If not I totally understand."

I ponder it for a moment. Should I trust him? What if he's lying again? Except for this time, he seems sincere. "It's going to take some time," I admit. "But I would like to be friends again."
