💗: What do you mean you won't tell me ?!??

🧡: I'm not telling you Cheeks !! It's a secret ~

[ajess-actual-art]

Why do I love this dynamic so much? It really came out of no where, I was a IzuOcha girly before, but now it won't leave my head.

title: from this perspective pairing: uraraka ochako x bakugo katsuki word count: 1,151 genre: fluff, comedy, angst but won’t make you cry, self-discovery synopsis: in which izuku watches his best friends catch feelings for each other.

part 2: the summer

Izuku’s bull-headed childhood friend did his best at everything. No matter what it is. Be it handling quirks, close-range combat, long-range combat, studying, cooking, housework, playing instruments, or designing clothes. You name it. He’s practically perfect.

Except for having a crush on someone. He never did that before. He never experienced crushes. Katsuki Bakugo is uncrushable.

White Day followed after that sacred moment. As per old tradition, White Day is when boys are to reciprocate the gifts given to them or give obligatory gifts the same way girls do on Valentine’s Day. You can guess what happened next.

For the record, Izuku wasn’t stalking them. He happened to be within the vicinity. The vicinity was the dormitory’s kitchen where he tutored Ochako Trigonometry in the common room. She had given Izuku a heads-up that Katsuki asked to meet up with her that night. It wasn’t his business so Izuku didn't ask what it was for, but nothing stopped him from deducting assumptions. 

Naturally, he’d worry for her. Katsuki never developed romantic feelings for anyone before. What if he tries to fight her for making him feel a certain way? Exactly, what if he beats his crush up or something?

Nothing could have ever prepared Izuku for witnessing Katsuki beckon Ochako to one corner of the common room away from their other classmates’ eyes. Izuku scooted himself behind the farthest corner of the counter and quite precisely eavesdropped. He doesn’t usually do something like this, nor does Katsuki usually give gifts to other people.

Izuku’s eyes went raw from how many times he’d rubbed them to be sure he saw this correctly.

He bought her a new pink umbrella.

And a pack of ice cream mochi.

The strawberry kind.

Her favorite.

It was inside a pink paper bag. A pink paper bag. He went out of his way to get a pink paper bag for her. Who is this man anymore-

After that second sacred moment, it was noticeable (for Izuku) that Ochako became significantly sweeter around Katsuki. She's sweet to everyone, however Izuku can tell that the gesture shifted something between them.

Ochako greets Katsuki more often, more specifically whenever she drops by Izuku’s desk. They would spar at most two times a week, much to Tenya and Tsuyu’s surprise the first time she’d told them. The most important of all is Ochako would occasionally drop by the kitchen whenever Katsuki’s on cooking duty and have a little chat.

It was beautiful. A beautiful change. Izuku might actually tear up.

Except Katsuki had no initiative on his part.

Sometimes Izuku finds himself staring at his childhood friend pathetically, which earned him death threats that he'd casually brush off. He can’t help it. It drove him insane.

It’s as if they were asking him to do something about this.

But no.

Izuku couldn’t possibly.

“You’re not going home? Kero.” Mina, Tsuyu, and Ochako gathered at one spot in the common room, discussing their plans for summer vacation. Ochako rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly from Tsuyu’s worried remark. “There’s no need, after all. My parents aren’t always home since they’re busy with work. 

“It’s just a month. I’ll be fine!” The pink-cheeked girl displayed a smile that barely reached her eyes. Izuku and Tenya approached the girls after a moment of contemplating, visibly concerned over their friend. 

Mina pouted, “‘Chako chip, you’re always welcome to join my fam and me if you ever get bored here, okay?!” The offer put another smile on Ochako’s face. “Thank you, Mina.”

“My place isn’t far from here,” Izuku proposes, “Want me to accompany you? I mean, if you don’t mind being stuck here with me.” 

Finally, Ochako laughed. “You live here, too. Why are you asking me for permission?”

He scratched his cheek, “Well, you know,” and glanced at his peripherals to check if Katsuki was within earshot. He sat at the dining area two tables from where they stood. If there was an eavesdropper between the two childhood friends, it’d be Katsuki. It was worth a shot if the blond could think of an alibi to stay behind the dorms to still see her during summer break.

If he could just ignore the teases Mina does every time Izuku interacts with Ochako.

“I second the suggestion, Midoriya-kun!” Tenya jumped in, chopping the air with his hand.

“Thank you!” Ochako chirped, copying Tenya’s gestures like she usually does. “But I don’t want to hold you guys back from spending time with your families.” She regarded each of them, doing her best to lighten the mood. “We can have a sleepover before we part ways, how about that?”

With this, Mina squealed from excitement. “I love that idea! I’ll go get the others. Let’s go, Tsu!” And dragged Tsuyu with her for whatever reason. “It’s still 5 PM, kero.” And Tenya followed suit, already promoting sleepover protocols and sleep schedules while chopping the air again now with both hands. 

Izuku huffed and crossed his arms, watching his classmates. He heard Ochako sigh. “I’m serious though. You don’t have to stay.”

He held his arms up as if to surrender.

She raised a brow. “Your mom probably misses you, too.”

He nodded and doesn’t say anything, as tears formed in her eyes. He inwardly fumbled, panicking, because his mom never taught him what to do when he sees a girl cry. He did know one thing.

“Hug?” He asked unsure, awkwardly holding up an arm to invite her. She chuckled, probably at how lame he looked, yet nodded and bumped her head on his shoulder with a quiet sniffle. He settled his hand on her head and smoothed out her hair. It wasn’t the first time they’ve hugged like this, but it’s definitely the first time in the common room.

Then it hit him. Like somebody spat on him, Izuku jerked his head towards the dining area. Eijiro now joined him at the table and seemed to be snickering at them. He, on the other hand, who had his back facing them, now turned his full torso in their direction.

Whatever it is kind of Kacchan emotion plastered on his face at this moment, it was not happiness. Far from it even.

Ochako shifted from under his chin, “For how long are you gonna hold me for, Deku?” She exhaled a giggle, wiping her runny nose with her sweater sleeve.

Izuku does not know what compelled him for what he responds with. Absolutely no clue.

“Until someone gets jealous.”

This made Ochako laugh from the pit of her heart. Izuku considered this as hitting two birds with one stone as he maintained eye contact with Katsuki. Who now looked more pissed off than ever. Glaring the complete hell out of the devious bunny-looking boy.

It only occurred to Izuku that he had been smirking all this time.

This might’ve been more fun than he let on.

Chat, what does it mean when your “enemy” invites you to his house for a cooking competition and then proceeds to flirt with you?

is it still kacchako week or am i too late already? hmmm might as well share a new playlist tho (if you have suggested songs, pls lemme know)

kacchako slowburn vibes

"white roses mean i'm the one for you"

"Ochako."

She didn't want to hear it. She didn't want to face this gnawing truth after everything she did to bury it ever since their third year in UA. Izuku was right when he confirmed it to her years ago, but there was no way she was going to admit it out loud. It might cost her sanity, depending on the outcome.

So she ran away, with Katsuki's heart in her hands because he gave them to her a long time ago.

"Ochako..." His voice was a lot softer, gentler, a complete contrast to his sharp features and unruly behavior. She could feel herself crying at the intensity of them. "Please..."

When she reached the balcony, she knew that her only option was to touch her face with both hands and fly to God knows wherw Bakugou Katsuki won't be able to follow her. I can't take this anymore. This is too much for my heart to bear. She was just about to do that when he suddenly grabbed her wrists, reaching her just in time before she could slip from his fingers again.

"Ochako--"

"... Why?" she bellowed, frustration slowly rising in her tone along with her defeat because she couldn't escape him. Izuku had always told her Katsuki will come back for her even if she ran away from him multiple times.

"'Why?', you ask?" he repeated for her, observing how she was pained enough to look away from him.

He didn't want to scare her, so he opted for leaning towards her with a few inches of space between them, whispering hotly in her ear. She could get a faint scent of burnt caramel in him when he asked:

"Are you hurting that much because of my feelings for you?"

That startled her, looking up at him to see how he was struggling with all this chasing around for 6 to 7 years. Bakugou Katsuki wasn't a patient man. Whenever he doesn't get what he wanted, he'd do anything to have them in a span of seconds or force the shit out of it. But Uraraka Ochako was a different story. For her, he'll be a saint. He'll be a good man. He'll be patient enough to wait until she's ready to accept her feelings.

Even if it meant going mad at this whole affair.

"Are you scared of what they'll say about you?" he asked a different question. After all, Uravity has a cute and kind image and DynaMight wasn't exactly complimenting it with his unruly nature. What would her supporters say about her if they find out?

Ochako was only silent, overwhelmed by a lot of things, and her mind could only tell her, "I want him. I've wanted him for so long. I've needed him so bad it hurts."

"Do you want me to go?" he asked his final question. Katsuki had to lay all his cards right there, because he had to say his truth. This was endless, and it had to stop or he'll explode.

Ochako could feel him slipping away, his hands letting go of her wrists as he walked back to the hall to join the others. Before he could do so, she ran towards him in fear. He can't disappear despite everything. This was a separation she wouldn't allow.

Katsuki felt her hands on his arm and the next thing, they were both floating mid-air, the desperation and anxiety mixed on her face was evident. He had never seen her make that face before, not especially for him. And when she leaned towards him, he gladly accepted her lips in a soft, searing kiss.

They were officially gone.
