Concerned Friends

Sunday10:30 a.m.

———Ochako was chilling in her room when she heard a knock on her room door. She got out of bed and curiously opened the door. It was all of the girls in her class. "Hey, what's up?" Ochako asked nervously.

"We need to talk." Mina said as she forced her way into the room, the other girls following her in.

Ochako wasn't sure what was going on but she didn't contest this. She followed the girls as they all sat down around her room. "Is something wrong?" Ochako started to feel anxious. They probably wanted to talk about Bakugou...

"We heard from Deku that you and Bakugou are really dating." Jirou said. "Why would you date someone like...him?"

Ochako sighed. It was just as she thought...

"Yea, it seems a bit...I don't know..." Momo chimed in, "Are you sure you want to be with him?"

It was clear to Ochako that her friends cared about her but she still felt hurt that they didn't trust her decision. "Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't date anyone that I'm not sure about." she said sincerely.

Tsu walked over to Ochako and made direct eye contact with her. "But Bakugou treated you horribly not too long ago. Are you really just going to forgive him that easily?"

Ochako's jaw tightened. "People make mistakes. He's trying to do better now though..." her voice quivered as she looked to the side and crossed her arms.

Hagakure and Mina exchanged concerned looks to each other. They started to feel bad for bringing the girls to question Ochako like this.

Jirou scoffed and furrowed her eyebrows. "And what if he goes back to being horrible to you? What if he hurts you?" Jirou's voice got slightly louder as she spoke. She desperately didn't want Bakugou to harm her friend.

Feeling upset by what Jirou insinuated, Ochako's eyes began to tear up and she sighed. "...He wouldn't..." she said quietly.

"He totally could! You know what he's like!" Jirou shouted, her face growing redder by the second.

Hagakure put her hand on Jirou's shoulder. "Hey, ease up a bit. You're making Ochako uncomfortable..." she said nervously.

Wanting to help deescalate the situation, Mina nodded, agreeing with Hagakure. "Yea. We were only here to find out why they're together...not to try to convince her to leave him..."

"But Jirou's right." Momo said, "I can see their relationship going south very easily."

"I too think that Bakugou isn't a good fit for Ochako." Tsu started, "He's practically a ticking time bomb."

"He literally is a ticking time bomb!" Jirou added.

Ochako listened as her friends went back and forth with each other. All she wanted to do was sink into the ground and drown out the judgement that came with being Bakugou....

Just before Ochako found the courage to speak for herself, she felt her phone vibrate. She checked her phone and found that Bakugou had messaged her.

The message read:"Come to my room. I have a surprise for you"

A surprise? What does he mean by that? Ochako glanced at the girls who were still arguing, then looked back at her phone. She'd rather be with Bakugou than be here.

Slowly, Ochako backed away from her friends before swiftly leaving her room to go to Bakugou's. Hopefully they don't follow her.

When she got to Bakugou's room, she lightly knocked on the door and waited for him to answer.

Bakugou opened the door and immediately frowned when he saw how sad Ochako looked. "What's that look for?" he asked. Although his delivery was cold, his intentions were coming from a good place.

"It's nothing." Ochako said as she grinned weakly. "What's the surprise?" she asked, attempting to change the subject.

Bakugou narrowed his eyes. "Don't give me that shit. Tell me what's wrong." he demanded as he clenched his fists, "Is someone fucking with you?"

There was no doubt that Bakugou was starting to get angry — which was scary to say the least. Ochako looked down nervously and started playing with her fingers. "It's just that...some of my friends don't think we're good together..."

"As if our relationship is any of their business." Bakugou scoffed and crossed his arms. "We're perfect for each other whether those extras like it or not!"

Ochako shyly looked at Bakugou. "They're just worried...you know...cause of your violent nature."

For a moment, Bakugou silently stared at Ochako, his eyebrows furrowed. What kind of person did their classmates take him for?

"Tch. They really think that I'd hit you?! I'm not some abusive asshole." he said through gritted teeth as his face turned red. Bakugou was trying to tone down his anger — for Ochako's sake — but it was a difficult task for him.

"Your language and face says otherwise." Ochako giggled. Although it was scary when Bakugou got mad, it was very amusing to watch him throw a fit.

Bakugou rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Doesn't matter anyway. You know I'd never hurt you." he said quietly. Putting his hands in his pockets, Bakugou started to calm down a bit.

Ochako grinned at him before wrapping her arms around his waist, hugging him tightly. "You're right. I wish I could be as carefree as you sometimes." she said.

With a sigh, the tension in Bakugou's body released and he suddenly felt relaxed. It was as if Ochako's warmth and affection transferred directly to him.

Enjoying Ochako's embrace, Bakugou stayed quiet. The heat emitting from her body, the smell of her perfume, the feel of her heart beat...Bakugou was entranced.

However, Ochako backed away from the hug when she noticed Bakugou's prolonged silence. "Do you not have anything to say?" she asked nervously.

Bakugou's jaw tightened when she asked that. There's so much he wanted to say...

Before he responded, Bakugou suddenly remembered that Ochako's surprise was still waiting for her. "Do you want to see what I got you?" he said as he looked away shyly.

"Oh yea! I almost forgot why I came." Ochako said excitedly. "What is it???"

Bakugou took Ochako's hand and brought her into the room, closing the door behind them. On his desk was a bracelet making kit, nail polish, and strawberry mochi; these were a couple of the things that Ochako told him that she liked.

"I got these for you this morning." Bakugou said shyly, blush covering his cheeks. Even though he'd never admit it to himself, Bakugou wanted to be in Ochako's good graces...not that he wasn't in her good graces already.

"Awww! Thank you!" Ochako said, smiling sweetly at Bakugou. "You have a really big heart. If only everyone else could see it too." Ochako put her hands on his shoulders before leaving a short and sweet kiss on his lips.

Bakugou's breath hitched and he froze for a moment. He expected a hug...not a kiss. But he definitely wasn't opposed to kissing Ochako. He smirked as he pulled her in by the waist and kissed her longer and harder than she did.

Ochako massaged his shoulders as they shared a passionate, loving kiss. She couldn't help but want to touch and kiss more of him...

—Sunday11:40 a.m.—

A little after showing her appreciation for the gifts she'd received, Ochako and Bakugou sat at his desk, eating the mochi he'd gotten. He didn't like it as much as she did but the fact that he ate it anyway was very sweet of him.

"Hey, do you think I could make us matching bracelets?" Ochako asked curiously as she opened the bracelet making kit. "It'd be soooooo cute!"

Bakugou scowled. "I wouldn't have to wear it, right Pink Cheeks?" he asked somewhat annoyed.

Ochako looked at him like he was crazy. "Of course you have to wear it! That's the whole point of making it!" she chuckled in disbelief.

"I'm not wearing a fucking bracelet. You've lost your damn mind." he said loudly as he looked to the side.

"Oh come on! It's not that bad. Boys wear bracelets all the time!" Ochako said enthusiastically as she took out materials to make the bracelets. "I'll even put your favorite colors in it!"

"Tch. I'm not wearing that shit." Bakugou growled.

Ochako didn't respond to him so he then turned to her to see why. She was eyeing the nail polish. Seeing the look in her eyes, he automatically knew exactly what she was thinking.

"HELL NO! YOU'RE NOT PUTTING FUCKING NAIL POLISH ON ME!" Bakugou shouted angrily.

Ochako laughed at him and poked his nose. "It was just a thought~" she teased, "I promise I won't do that to you~" Smirking mischievously, Ochako began to make the bracelets.

She was definitely lying.

"IF YOU PUT NAIL POLISH ON ME I'LL-" Bakugou started before being cut off.

"You'll murder me?" she giggled. "That's not very nice of you, Bakugou Katsuki~"

The way Ochako said his name, made Bakugou blush and immediately turned his anger into shyness. He put his hands in his pockets and slouched in his seat.  "Don't think I won't do it, Pink Cheeks..." he said under his breath.

Ochako rolled her eyes playfully as she continued to make the bracelets. "Whatever you say, Bakugou."

Bakugou overreacts so much that it's comical. Ochako loved this about him~———

This is the end of the chapter! I hope you enjoyed!

{A/N: This chapter is pretty lame I'm not gonna lie. It's a bit of a set up for the next chapter so it wasn't too interesting. I also don't like this story too much since the plot was pretty rushed and lots of things just don't make sense. Plus, I'm just not super inspired to write a Kacchako fanfic right now; I'm still in a SasuSaku phase. So my apologies if the story gets too boring. I'll be making a new Kacchako story — or maybe even an Izuocha x Kacchako story — in the future. But I'm not sure when.🥲}
