Bakugo is walking home while eating a packet of chips. He never used to eat so many snacks but Ochako seemed to have rubbed off on him in some ways. He hears footsteps running towards him calling his name. He pretends to not hear and continues walking until he feels her grab his hand.
"Why didn't you wait for me?"
"I thought you wouldn't want to see me." He shrugs as he looks into her glazed eyes. FUCK she can't even talk to me now without being afraid. "Cheeks I think we shouldn't be friends anymore... just go back to being friends with Deku and ignore me."
He yanks his hand from hers to continue walking home.
"Do you not like me anymore because I'm a whore?" She says rather audibly behind him.
He stops walking and turns around and walks back to her and pulls her into his chest. He quietly growls. "Who the fuck put that idea in your head?"
She shrugs as tears roll down her cheeks "I dunno just some extra"
"Fucking Copycat... I should have killed him after your match." He groans as he pulls her into his arms. "Don't listen to that bastard...you're the opposite of that... Cheeks you're scared of me all the time, so I thought I'd give you some space...You have never been scared of me before... not since the first sports festival."
She shakes her head against his chest. "I know my fear isn't rational. I spoke to Recovery Girl she said she would get a counselor to come in once a week for me. She gave me some tips in the meantime though."
"mmm like what?"
"Like if I panic thinking its Yuri to just concentrate on your eye colour until I calm down, or to like ground myself by listing things I can see, smell or touch."
"Sounds like a hassle." He mumbles while offering her some of his chips.
"You're not a hassle to me." She replies before getting on her tip toe giving a soft kiss on his lips. He pulls away quickly and looks away to her disappointment.
"It's not that I don't want to... but what if you change your mind about this... I don't want you to cling onto me because of trauma." He exasperatingly explains, wishing for once he'd live up to his douche bag status and kiss her senseless.
"I do want to be with you Katsuki! For awhile now... I don't know how to prove it to you but I will." She vows to him.
"Ok I'll set you a challenge at school at Lunchtime on Monday. If you pass I'll be your prize." He proposes. He tucks a stray lock of her hair behind her ear before he walks down the street to his house.
On Monday Ochako feels determined yet nervous about the challenge. She was trying to think what it would be all weekend. She texted him a few times over the weekend trying to get clues but he never responded. She bet it would be combat or quirk related knowing him, something that proves her strength. Lunch time rolls around and Bakugo takes her to the rooftop so they can have some privacy.
"So you still think we should be together?"
She nods while stretching getting ready for whatever crazy challenge he has about to give her. She is surprised when he opens the smallest bento box she has ever seen, it contained two pieces of Mochi.
"ehhhh??"
Bakugo takes a bite out of one of them and shows her the inside. She knows from the smell and texture what it is. It almost makes her gag thinking about last time
"Ok Cheeks. That's your challenge."
She picks up the mochi and gets the slight waft of wasabi. She wishes he would have just challenged her to a fight. She does admit though this challenge is pretty simple so she puts the whole mochi in her mouth and chews quickly waiting for the burn,but it never comes. Its sweet. She looks up at Bakugo confused her cheeks stuffed with mochi. He's laughing his ass off.
"Cheeks your face is hilarious." He is laughing so hard his eyes are watering "Please just finish eating. Don't worry its just matcha flavour. It took me the whole weekend trying to make it look and smell like wasabi."
Ochako looks angry and goes to playfully punch his chest, but he grabs her hand and pulls her close. "Cheeks you drive me crazy in the best way... I just wanted to give you the weekend to make sure you really wanted to be with me..." He leans down and kisses her gently at first. He then grabs her and puts him on his lap before kissing her more deeply. She can taste the residual wasabi on his lips.
"Cheeks you taste way better then the wasabi mochi"
