Roller Coaster (Kacchako)

Chapter 10 - Cafè

----------
Uraraka POV
----------

In all honesty I was really regretting saying yes to Mina! It sounded fun at the time but now it just seems like a potential disaster.

I look continue to look through my closet until a red skirt and light blue shirt catch my eye. I change and head to the door when I realize it might be cold and decide to grab a pastel yellow cardigan.

When I arrive in the commons I see Mina and Kirishima are already there waiting. Whew glad I'm not last. As I walk towards them Mina looks at me and tried to hide a smug grin, she miserably fails. I can tell she's planning something but I don't want to press it.

After about five minuets I hear a ahem, behind me. I turned to see Bakugou behind me he looks surprisingly good in his life blue button up shirt and black pants.

"You checking my out floaty." I feel my face turn red.

"No." Was I , nah. Though he does look pretty good.

As we walked to the cafè nearby Bakugou grabbed my hand and quietly whispered "You look good." Once again I felt my face change colors. "You don't look to bad yourself." I managed.

We quickly arrived at our destination. It was a cozy little shop, we all ordered what we wanted and went to find seats. We picked the two couches in the corner.

The waitress came and informed us that it would be a little longer til our drinks and pastries were served.

I was about to sit down by Mina when Kirishima rushed over and took the seat. This is gonna be bad I thought to myself as I walked over to sit by Bakugou.

I looked around waiting for our food to arrive when I realized no one was here but is I relaxed. I turned back to the conversation and saw that Mina and Kirishima were only sitting far enough to fit their hands between them. Me and Bakugou on the other hand were about as far apart as we could be without it looking purposeful.

I slowly inched closer to him and put my hand on his. He looked at me as I did so and I couldn't help but smile. I don't know why but as I smiled he looked away with pink tinting his cheeks.

As our food arrived I noticed that Bakugou was just staring at his coffee. I looked over his shoulder to see what he was staring at. There was a design in it but I couldn't quite tell what it was. I leaned in closer to get a better look. It was a heart, I wonder what it means?

I wonder if Mina has a design in hers, I'm pretty sure she got coffee to. I got spearmint herbal tea. And Kirishima got some weird looking pastries. He insisted they were supposed to look like that when I asked about it.

For a while we all say in silence until Mina broke it.

"Look," I saw Kirishima tense up as she started speaking, he knew what was going to happen. "You two are so focused on your fake relationship that your unable to see the possibility of a real one." What?

" Fake, real, what are you talking about. " I asked confused at what was going on.

"Are you- oh you're actually serious. Everything about you and Bakugou is real but your obsession with having a fake relationship look real, it doesn't by the way, is ruining every and any chance you're given to actually be together." No, no, no, she can't be saying that. Or at least be serious about it. "I'm saying that you guys need to ditch this fake relationship and start a real one."

Once she finished her sentence she looked from me to Bakugou and back again. She's actually serious. I don't even like him, I think and even if I did he would never like me back.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Bakugou get up and set his coffee down. He leaves without a word. He didn't look at any of us when as he left. Strangely this kind of hurt. I look at Mina. She looks down, can't even look me in the eyes, she new I sort of had crush on him and then did this.

I get up to go back to my dorm and sulk. As I walked out of the door I hear Kirishima say. "Make things right. he's not good with emotions but he feels the same about you." I blush and walk out the door, only to break into a sprint when I reach the sidewalk .

I see him a ways ahead with his head down and hands in his pocket. I yell his name and run faster.

He turns his head to me and ushers towards a nearby park that seems fairly empty. I slow my pace to a walk, relieved that he wants to talk to me.

When I reach the park he's waiting for me on a bench. I sit next to him.

"I liked going out with you today. " I hope I'm not pushing it. No response so I continue. " I liked sitting with you and holding your hand and- look I just like you, so could we be real not fake? "

Slowly I look up from the ground and look to him. He looks back at me. I never noticed how beautiful his eyes were. I feel like I could get lost in them. At this point were not that far apart but I don't mind. Slowly the space between us becomes less and less.

Our foreheads touch and I close my eyes taking deep breath but it was cut short by a soft pair of lips on mine. I returned his gentle kiss. I felt his palm grab my cheek and I leaned into it. From his personality you might assume he wouldn't be this gentle but it felt like I was flying. He broke the kiss leaving me wanting more. I looked at him. But he looked away.

We sat there and I looked back to the ground since he kissed me does that mean that he likes me and that he feels the same way about us? If he does then...

His voice brought me back to reality. "Sorry floaty but I can't" with that he walked off. He can't . He can't. He can't. I felt tears form in my eyes and roll down my cheeks. The day turned to night as I sat their crying, shocked, unaware of my surroundings.

By the time I realized it had started to snow There was already a few inches on the ground. I tried to wipe the tears from my face but they were frozen there.

I walked back to the dorms not know what time it was or how long of been gone. I noticed people holding hands and smiling and laughing it all felt wrong and made me want to cry all the more, but I couldn't. I was fresh out of tears.

When I arrived at the dorms I heard a mix of where were you, you were starting to worry us, it's late, and are you okay? I answered none of the questions and head strait to my dorm room.

when I opened the door I saw Kirishima sitting on my bed with Mina asleep on his lap. I looked away.

"She feels bad ya know."
