Chapter 38: whoops

Me ⬆️
I'm SO sorry guys! I really have no excuse for the huge waiting period....online classes have been whooping my a*s with no mercy. Anyway I hope you enjoy!!

(Exclusive) look at the Kacchako argument. 🤗 -I was considering not writing it, but now I feel bad about not writing for so long.

Ochako_
Ochako sat utterly still in the car, staring straight ahead at the road. Next to her, in the the passengers seat, Katsuki radiated anger. Rage. His grip on his knee was neck-breaking. To be completely honest, she wasn't too happy with him, either. Ochako flexed her hands on the steering wheel.
It's his car, but she'd gotten to the drivers seat first.
"You can,"
Katsuki tensed at her voice as she spoke.
"Forget ever seeing me naked again."

He barked a laugh, shifting in his seat. The expensive leather groaned beneath him.
"I'm the bad guy? You jumped off a fucking building-"
Her head snapped to him so fast she was surprised her neck didn't crack.
He shut his mouth.
"You-"
She had to stop herself, reeling in her anger.
"You don't get to have an attitude. I was fine. I've done countless more dangerous things-"
"You weren't sure that your quirk was even function-"
"I SWEAR TO GOD KATSUKI IF YOU INTERRUPT ME AGAIN!"

He shrank away from her, his body moving closer to the car door. She'd never snapped at him like that before. She took a deep breath. Her chest shook with the effort of remaining calm.
Her eyes flicked to him from the side after a few seconds.
"You lie to me again, and I'm done. For good. I will find whoever took me on my own and find somewhere else to live."
"I didn't lie!"
He didn't sound like his usual dramatics, he sounded like a child defending his innocence. She mocked his tone in her head.
"Yes you did! You have another job!"
"What- it's hardly another-"
"Are you even still a hero?"
She turned to look at him, and his face slackened.
"Of course I am. I just- do the other one on the side."
Anger again filled her.
"You hunt people, Katsuki. You don't save them anymore."

Upon Ochako setting her feet on the ground, an officer had run up to Katsuki and handed him a file. A file with a name on it. She'd swiped it before he could, and had been absolutely furious when she found out he had a second job, working for people other than the police, hunting down criminals at best, caught up innocents at worst.
As far as she could tell, no one was killed. But that didn't change the fact that he'd lied to her.
He regained his confidence and shot back at her,
"And what was I supposed to do?! Sit on my ass?! I knew you'd have never left me like that on your own, someone had to have done something to you. So I...began looking. And so what if what I was doing was benefitting a few people? I was taking bad people off the streets while looking for you, it was a win win"
"You're no better than a mercenary!"
"You've got some nerve-"
"I'm calling my parents."
"What? No. No you're not. Why? They have Nothing to do with this."
"Because of your 'second job' people could be after both of us now. I'm calling them and making sure they get somewhere they're protected."

He let out a noise that sounded like an infuriated groan.
"God- you and your goddamn parents."
"Oh, you're a double agent working behind my back and I'm the bad guy for wanting to call my parents? Really?"
"We've been married for 3 years, and we've never gone more than 5 minutes without your parents!"
"We're gonna do this right now, come on-"
"They're always coming over a-and your dads always 'well this is how the Uraraka's load the dishwasher and- mow the lawn clockwise cause that's the Uraraka way! Take this piece of coal, stick it up your kiester and squeeze it real tight you'll make a Uraraka diamond-'"
"Okay now- hold up a minute. You're talking about my parents."
"And I'm your husband. What- what are we gonna do when we have our own kids-"
A weird feeling began to curl in her stomach, and she slammed her foot on the break.
Katsuki shot forward and his face slammed into the dashboard.
"Jesus Christ."
