To Heal A Broken Heart

Chapter 4

"Why'd you ask me out?" Jirou said out of pure curiosity.

Bakugou choked as he sipped on his water, face red from either embarrassment or lack of oxygen to his lungs.

"What kind of question is that?!" He yelled, getting the attention of nearby tables.

"Just... curious, is all." She shrugged and held up her tea and took a sip, then fiddling with her jacket.

"If you wanna know so bad... it's- it's because I like you." He muttered a few swears and turned away, even redder. Jirou turned a thousand shades of pink.

"I-I like you too," she said, just above a whisper.

The waiter came, ready to take their orders just as Bakugou was about to respond. Jirou thought back to the moment when she was talking with Todoroki, and he said something along the lines of "cold soba". It was his favorite, so Jirou decided to give it a try. Good thing Bakugou didn't know this, or he would've killed her. Bakugou ordered some sort of spicy entrée, as usual, and a side of buns for the both of them. The waiter left and Bakugou sat back in his chair.

"Y-you like me too... that's a new one. I haven't had anyone like me, like, ever."

Jirou laughed quietly as they sat in more silence. The food came, and they spent about 2 hours at the restaurant alone. Bakugou was still new to the feeling of liking someone, so he had no idea what to do next. He took her to the park for a nice walk. Bakugou wasn't sure on what to do as he kept eyeing her left hand. Should I? Would it... be weird if I did? Just go for it Katsuki. He extended his hand and it interlocked with her gentle fingers.

As Jirou's eyes widened, she said, "Huh? W-what are you d-doing?!"

"What does it look like I'm doing? Holding your hand."

Jirou had to admit, it did feel nice. Awkward, but nice.

They spent the remaining time they had to enjoy the night and return to the dorms before 10. Bakugou was especially sleepy, he usually went to sleep around 8:30. He had fallen asleep in the car, his head resting on Jirou's shoulder. She looked at him, startled at first, but smiled sweetly and gently as she kept her eyes focused on his now calm expression.

When they got back, Kaminari was waiting at the entrance of the dorms, awaiting their arrival.

"He's asleep," Jirou whispered as she slung a passed-out Bakugou's arm over her shoulder, her sparky friend grabbing the second one, giggling slightly. Kaminari found his dorm key as Jirou set him on the bed.

"Thanks," she said to her friend.

"No problem, but we should leave now. And... TELL ME EVERYTHING!" he shouted excitedly.

"Fine, fine. Let's roll Pikachu."

They went to the common room after Jirou changed into her last outfit and they sat on the couch.

"He took us to a fancy restaurant, and turns out his mom paid for the whole thing. I feel bad," Jirou said, pulling out her phone.

"Don't be! Sounds like she was glad that her angry son found someone as great as you!" He said as he hugged his best friend.

She pushed him off, but grateful of his words. Mina took a seat next to her, her invisible friend following suit.

"You really went out with Bakugou? That's brave of you," the pink-skinned girl chuckled.

"Yeah! Didn't you have a crush on him?" Hagakure asked. That caught the attention of everyone in the common room, everyone then swarming the poor purple-haired girl as she turned red.

"I-I- um! Maybe!" She muttered.

There was a series of, "Is that true?" And, "Bakugou? Really?" But Kaminari quickly pulled her away from the group, putting her behind his back as he yelled, "Yeah! Maybe it's true! But that's no reason to keep pestering her like this! She's clearly uncomfortable with the situation, so might as well leave her alone!" He pouted as everyone calmed, and most everything turned back to normal.

"Thanks Pikachu," Jirou said.

"Anytime JJ!"

Jirou returned to her dorm with a strong apology from the DekuSquad, Deku, Tsu, Uraraka, Iida, and Todoroki.

"I am so very sorry for my classmates' behavior!" He shouted, making fast chopping motions woth his hands and then bowing deeply with his friends.

"No problem guys. I just don't want to talk about me and Bakugou until it's official and we both feel comfortable."

They apologized one more time before leaving for bed. Jirou brushed her teeth and went straight to bed, not bothering to change out of her hoodie.

Things are going to be moving a lot faster, and I bet in the next 1 or 2 chapters will be the breakup. But for now, stay tuned! <333
