It's You?!
Little did Ochako know her questions would be answered way sooner than she expected.
She was walking back to the dorms with the 'bakusquad' rather than the 'dekusquad' (at least that's what Mina referred to them as). She didn't usually walk back with them, but today she wanted to ask about Kirishima's soulmate as soon as they got back. The curiosity was eating away at her. Why is Kirishima against being with his soulmate? Has he met them? What are his words? Where are his words?
Of course, because of her racing mind, Ochako hadn't been paying attention and stumbled. She reflexibly pushed her hands out in front of her for support. However she had forgotten the person in front of her and accidentally activated her quirk on them (effectively saving herself though).
Unfortunately, that person was Bakugou Katsuki.
…
"I'll fucking kill you, put me down!"
'I'll fucking kill you, put me down!'
Ochako's heart almost stopped at that moment and she just stared wide-eyed at the floating blond. A dear in headlights look. Her mouth hung open.
"I-it's you.. It's actually.."
Her shock did not go unnoticed. The rest of the group was stunned with her reaction as well as Bakugou who was still fuming mad. She didn't notice anyone else but him though. Her mind just filled with the phrase as it had been for the past week except now with Bakugou's voice and annoyed crimson eyes.
Tears sprang to her eyes out of emotion. Which one? That she didn't know. She felt like she was drowning in them, overwhelmed by it all. Anger, relief, sadness, panic, shock, fear. She barely even felt the tap on her shoulder.
She looked to her right to see who broke her out of it and it was Kirishima. She regained her thoughts and quickly deactivated her quirk. She was shaking. That didn't help with the rage that was Bakugou though.
He quickly stomped over and grabbed her by the collar. Screaming something as Kirishima tried to calm him down and her other friends were trying to help too. It didn't register though as it fed into the mess of her mind. She felt his ferocity feed into hers as her cheeks turned red in aggression.
As he let her go, seemingly calmed down, she was just getting started. "Are you kidding me?" Everyone turned to Ochako, and normally that would make her flustered or nervous, but she couldn't take it anymore. A determination and strange sense of justice made her want to let him know how much she had hurt, how much she had hated those words on her skin, how much she had worried. She wanted to give him a piece of her mind.
"Hah?" Bakugou turned back to her, getting uncomfortably in her personal space. Looking down on her like the punk he was. She hated it, hated him.
"I was worried all that time just for you to-!" Kirishima tried to intervene again.
"Uraraka wait-!"
Ochako stared him dead in the eyes. She must've looked crazy or something because Kirishima reeled back from it, and slowly pulled away the hand he was going to use to push them apart.
That snapped her back to thinking again, don't say you're his soulmate, but didn't make her any less upset. She looked back to Bakugou's red pupils. He seemed slightly confused. She didn't care to enlighten him.
"Why don't you think about someone other than yourself for once in your goddamn life?" She threw the words in his face as she shoved him aside just when his palms started to spark and made a dash for the dorms. Today couldn't get any worse.
