The Morning After

The next morning...

———Ochako woke up and her whole body ached. She barely felt like she could move. Bakugou already cleaned up and left after they'd "done the deed" so asking him for help to get out of bed was out of the question. Good thing it was Saturday.

Ochako laid in bed, staring at the spot where Bakugou had laid that night. She stayed there for probably 30 minutes, reminiscing on the night they'd had together. She had never done anything like that before yet she'd acted so...shamelessly. In the moment, it felt nice...but when she had time to actually process what happened, she felt gross and hated that she allowed Bakugou — of all people — to take her virginity.

She stayed in bed a little longer, not wanting to have to face anyone after what she'd done. But eventually, she found the strength to get up and get ready for the day. She took her shower supplies and clothes before quickly heading to the shower room. Luckily, everyone was still sleeping so she didn't run into anyone.

Bakugou was just now waking up around the time Ochako made it to the shower room. Unlike Ochako, he wasn't struggling with the fact that they had sex. In fact, he was hoping that it wasn't just a one night stand. Not only that, but he felt he should apologize for what he called her last night...

—

Ochako got finished in the showers and headed back to her room. But when she walked out the door, she instantly walked into Bakugou's path, causing her to drop her things on the floor.

"I'm sorry!" she said frantically as she picked up her stuff without looking at him.

He looked at her with a slight frown on his face. "Stop apologizing" he said calmly.

"Ok, ok!" she giggled nervously as she sped walked back to her room.

Bakugou raised an eyebrow before following her. He had an idea of why she was acting stranger than usual so he felt the need to confront her about it.

Ochako got to her room and locked the door behind her...leaving Bakugou outside. He knocked on the door. "Open the door, Pink Cheeks." he said semi loudly.

"I don't wanna talk to you right now..." she said shyly. That was partially a lie and she knew it. She didn't want to confront him; that was too embarrassing for her. But she wanted to know what this meant for their relationship. She was conflicted on what to do.

"Just open the goddamn door and I'll leave you alone." he growled, frustrated.

After contemplating if she should or shouldn't open the door, Ochako decided that it'd be best to get this conversation over with...especially since Bakugou seemed to be losing his patience already. She opened the door shyly, her eyes facing the ground. "What...what is it?" she asked quietly.

Bakugou gently pushed her out of the way and walked into the room before closing the door. He looked at her, disappointed that she kept her eyes on the ground. "Look at me." he demanded.

Ochako blushed. Bakugou was too straight forward for her. She looked up at him shyly, revealing the teeth marks and bruises that he'd left on her neck and chest the previous night. She tried to hide them with her hair and a sweater that she was wearing but it only made it more obvious.

Seeing this, Bakugou smirked which made Ochako pout slightly. He was proud of his work on her and it was cute to him that she tried to hide it. However, his smirk faded as he remembered what he was here for. "I need to talk to you about last-" he started before Ochako cut him off.

"Yea, you don't have to tell me. I get it if you don't want to be around me anymore...I wouldn't wanna be around me either. I don't know what was going on with me. So-" Ochako frantically rambled on until Bakugou cut her off.

Bakugou leaned against the room door and looked at her confused and slightly annoyed. "The fuck are you talking about??? Of course I wanna be around you." he growled, "I shouldn't have called you a slut; I'm a sick for that. I wasn't in the right head space. But that doesn't mean I don't like you..."

Confused, Ochako smiled nervously. "That's what you wanted to talk about? You're not embarrassed that you slept with me or anything..?"

"Why the hell would I be embarrassed about that? I wouldn't fuck someone who I thought was embarrassing." he stated firmly.

Ochako stared at him with wide, innocent eyes...confused. "Oh...so...uhm..." she struggled to find her words as her eyes began to dart around the room.

Bakugou sighed. "Spit it out, Pink Cheeks." he growled.

She blushed and started fiddling with her fingers before looking at Bakugou shyly. "So did you mean it? You know...when you called me yours..?"

"Only if you want to be..." he said calmly as he blushed and looked away.

It was sweet that he let her decide. Ochako smiled and shyly hugged Bakugou — wrapping her arms around his waist. "I think I'd like that~" she giggled softly.

Bakugou smiled softly and hugged her back. Ochako exhaled sharply as she felt her nervousness go away when he hugged her back. She loved the warmth that she felt when she was with him...both figurative and literal warmth.

Noticing how much calmer she was in his arms, Bakugou's heart began to race and he felt a new sense of pride and possession over Ochako.

The two were an unlikely couple but the pair were desperate to make this work.———
