Bakugo Katsuki, the shipper of UA

Chapter 5: T-the plans w-work?!

After a little round of laughter, Kaminari straightened up as he could, faced Bakugo with a huge grin and simply stated "That was my marvelous attempt of a dramatic entrance for my love confession!"

"WHAT?!" was the collective scream that could be heard from the lobby of Class 1-A's dorms.

Kyoka Jirou wasn't a 'common girl'. She wasn't really interested in 'girly stuff' like other girls of her age. She never understood what was the relevance of those things. Mostly about love. She hadn't even thought about it until a few weeks ago, when some of her classmates hinted that she had a crush on the electricity hero in her class.

When she heard that, at first, she laughed out loud. As if she, of all people, could ever have a crush, let alone on "Blown Up Fuse" as Bakugo had called him several times.

Sure, the guy was cool, nice and fun. She had to admit that she enjoyed passing time with him because he was a very good friend. She could tease him about how he looked and acted when his quirk backfired. They had similar tastes in music. She could laugh at almost everything he said and she could get lost in those eyes of his, every time she looked at...oh.

"Oh no." She said the first time that she had discovered this. "N-no way. T-there's no way that I like that dumb idiot!" Retorted as she looked at her bedroom's ceiling, while laying on her bed and listening to music. "It can't be! I don't like that guy..." almost whispered after hugging a pillow strongly, as if to hide from her feelings.

It was at this moment that she knew that they were right. She had a crush on that guy. And this realization had been on her mind for the past weeks. Since then, she had been acting tense and weird around him due to nervousness and embarrassment, not noticing that he acted practically the same when he was around her.

She had heard people's rumors about him having a crush and him trying to make some moves on her. Mostly whispers of Sero's and Kirishima's conversations. She didn't have the courage to ask who this girl was. "It's obviously not me." She silently said in her room one night, sobbing lowly while curling in her bed. "I mean...how could he like me? It has to be that 1-B vine girl or that exchange student..."

Her sobs went unheard. She would try to be strong and pretend that it didn't hurt. What was hurting her? The doubts of her feelings inside her head? Not knowing who this girl was? She didn't want to figure out that part. "The first heartbreak is the most painful...geez, thanks for that old advice mom..." she silently cursed as she recalled how once her mother had told her about first love and rejection. She hadn't cared at that time and she wanted not to right now, but it was difficult.

Somehow, she started psyching herself up to pretend that it didn't hurt and to help her friend with his crush. Because that's what they were...just friends.

So, after some difficult nights of crying, emotional and mental pain, asking for advice from her best friend Momo and a lot of psyching up, she could act 'normally' around him. That was until that Saturday afternoon.

She had to admit. It had been a pretty eventful day. From taking care of Eri, to watching Bakugo being soft around her, the jumpscare of Kaminari's attempt of intrusion and Eri's and Midoriya's 'sibling' relationship.

She laughed loudly at Kaminari's responses and pretty much lost it when he fell flat on his face. 'I hate to admit it, but...God, I like this idiot a lot' were practically her thoughts while everybody was laughing.

But when he said 'That was my marvelous attempt of a dramatic entrance for my love confession!', she froze up in place. 'What did he just said?' She thought.

And then, the nervousness and her insecurities started getting at her. She hadn't considered another girl in Class 1-A! Of course! He might not have a crush on a girl of another class, that girl might be in her own class!

'Who is it? I mean...not me,of course. How could I ever compete with beautiful girls as my friends? They all are pretty and are more developed in some areas than me...' were some of the thoughts revolving inside her head, before getting snapped back to reality by Momo's hand that was placed on her left shoulder.

"Hey...are you alright?" Asked the black haired heroine in a whisper-like tone to the sound user. "You seem...tense." Finished with a concerned look. "I'm fine." Was the answer that Jiro could muster in response with a fake smile towards her best friend. Then, she payed attention again at the situation.

After Kaminari spoke out loud his reason for his entrance attempt and everybody's shocked reaction, there was silence for a few seconds. The blonde hero stood awkwardly as the center of attention, not understanding everyone's reaction. That was, until...

"Deku, I'm gonna ask you to please cover Eri's ears." Spoke in a low voice the resident hot-head. "K-kacchan? What do you mea..?" Tried to answer Midoriya, not getting what his childhood friend was implying or attempting to do. Then, he saw it. Bakugo's harsh glare against the ground and some of the veins on his palms starting to tick. He understood.

"Eri, could you please cover your ears for a bit and close your eyes? This might be a little loud for you." Spoke softly to the bundle of joy that was currently resting her head against his chest. She complied by covering her ears with her two hands and hiding her face more on her savior's chest. At this, the bomb exploded.

"WHAT. THE. FUCK. IS. WRONG. WITH. YOU. DUMBASS?!" Started an 'angry' Bakugo while taking menacing steps towards Kaminari. He knew Kaminari's intentions with his entrance, the direct approach in front of more people as a last resort, but had to act out that he was mad at him. "You have five FUCKING seconds to explain why the thought of scaring the living shit out of everyone here with a loud hit against the door, after all the shit that has happened since we moved in here, was a great idea before I blow your guts using that vuvuzela you were talking about earlier!" Finished while looking at the other blonde straight in the eye and igniting a pair of explosions from his palms. This made Kaminari a ball of nerves and stutters, almost mimicking the habits of his green haired friend nearby him.

Midoriya saw his rival's eyes while he announced his 'threat' and knew that he was acting. Or well, that was what he thought. But he knew that he had to act to help Kaminari's plan, so he interviened.

"Kacchan, stop! It was my fault that he hit the door that hard. He wanted to make a big entrance, so he asked me to throw him at the door. He wanted to try and enter with a flying kick, but I threw him far more harder than I should. I'm sorry if I startled all of you." Spoke Midoriya with an apologetic look, before placing down his 'little sister' and taking a little bow towards his classmates.

"You're an idiot." Simply answered his rival, with an annoyed look on his face. "Don't worry." "You weren't trying to harm anyone." "Relax, dude." Were some of his other classmates answers to his apologies.

"Well, you could say that I made quite a shocking impression, am I right?" Interviened Kaminari happily, while making finger guns and pointing them at the childhood friends.

Everyone remained quiet until groans were heard. Then something weird happened again. "Kaminari, you are my friend and I respect you very much, but if you make a pun like that again, I will help Kacchan with his vuvuzela plans." Spoke Midoriya calmly, getting very confused looks from most of the girls and a maniac grin from Bakugo.

"Okay, okay, I get it. No more jokes around you, party poopers. Seems like the Double-Edge Syndrome's affecting you again Midoriya." Casually spoke the electric blonde with a grin, which caused a new round of different reactions.

"You told him about it?! Geez, dumbass, can't you shut your mouth once in a while?" Asked Bakugo again towards Midoriya, this time visibly angry.

"There it is again, what's with that name?" Asked out loud a confused Kirishima. "Yeah, it sounds badass but I didn't knew you guys had a secret alliance going on." Added Sero with a chuckle. "See, everyone's curious Bakugo. Please tell!" Added Mina with a pout.

"Again? Who've you told?" Whispered Midoriya towards Bakugo. "Eri, to ease her nerves. Now shut it before things get rough. Lets focus on Pikachu here." Answered the blonde in a whisper too.

"I told you, stay out of business that doesn't involve you." Spoke the hot headed blonde towards all around him. "And you..." continued while pointing at Kaminari. "Better get back to the point and not speak about THAT other thing or I will speak about your secrets. Even the one about your enormous fear of butterflies or..."

"I GET IT, I'LL SHUT UP. PLEASE STOP!" Screamed almost pleadingly the electric blonde, while laughter erupted again. "Butterflies, seriously dude?!" Wheezed Sero while rolling on the floor. "I don't like their tongues and long mouths, okay?! They're creepy." Defended while embarrassed the blonde.

"You're an idiot Kaminari." Spoke Jirou, having forgotten about her thoughts and merely enjoying the situation. "Yeah, I know, but...I want to be YOUR idiot, Jiro." Answered with a determined tone of voice and a big smile on his face. At his comment, everyone on the room went silent. A lot of mouths went agape and most of the girls, sans the mentioned one and Hagakure who was also busy, were practically squealing.

"Huh...? W-w-what?!" Asked Jirou incredulously to nobody in particular. "W-what are y-you t-talking about?" Somehow spoke the sound heroine with a huge blush plastered on her face.

Kaminari didn't answer. He just stood in his place with a wide grin and his eyes locked on hers. She felt as if time had stopped and there were only the two of them in the room. Then, he took a step towards her. Then another. And another. And that continued until he was in front of her. Then, gathering all the courage he could and remembering every advice and failure from before, he spoke.

"Jirou...you've been an amazing friend since we've started studying here. I have a lot of fun when I'm around you and even if sometimes it isn't cool when you joke about how I end after using my quirk, ..." He spoke with a grin, before being interrupted by a round of snorts and chuckles. "...traitors." Simply said to everyone around him. "That teasing of yours is a part of what made me fall for you. Because it makes you different. Special. Unique. And also, makes my competitive side show up to return the teasing." Completed after giving the rest of the class a death stare.

"K-kaminari, I..." Jirou tried to say something, only to be silenced by the blonde with a finger on her lips. "Please, let me finish." Stated with a smile, while she just nodded. "I think that you're beautiful in every single way. I can get lost looking at you eyes. I adore your sense of humor and your laughter. So...I'm basically saying...that I like you. I have for a long time, but couldn't act properly about it before. Right now, though, I'm here asking you to give me a chance to prove that my feelings are sincere." Finished with a smile the blonde hero, whilst looking at his crush.

Everyone of the members of Class 1-A that heard the confession, were in a mixed stated of shock and surprise. Sure, almost all of the boys knew that he would try to confess to her that same day and some knew that he planned to do it in front of everyone. Also, every girl knew about the sound heroine's crush on the electricity user. But neither of them expected the courage and determination of their resident portable battery.

The air felt tense. Almost awkward. Mostly because everyone stood quiet, mouth-agaped or expecting an answer from Jirou. Seconds passed and the only reaction that was visible on her face was embarrassment. Anyone would be embarrassed if, well, your CRUSH confessed in front of all of your friends.

Because of how new this all was to her, she just stood there. Eyes wide open, mouth agape, red as Kirishima's hair and nervous as Midoriya's normal demeanor. Without answering. This, in turn, fueled up Kaminari's insecurities. 'You just ruined your friendship with her, genius! Now she'll hate you!' was all that he could think about.

So, after not getting a response from her for a few more seconds, he released a heavy sigh and looked towards the floor in front of him. "Y-you don't have to give me a chance if you don't want to...I just...I don't..." started in a sad and resigned tone of voice, which freed Jirou from her trance. This made her realize that she hadn't answer him and thought about the best way to do it. So, she grabbed a napkin in a nearby table and crumbled it into a ball-like shape.

And then, before that he could continue, he felt something hit his left eye. Hard. "GAAAH! What the heck?!" Exclaimed as he covered his injured eye while looking around for a suspect. He noticed the paper ball on the floor and heard laughter. But before he could react, Jirou spoke timidly. "Pikachu, I...choose...you..."

Kaminari just dumbly spoke a 'Huh?'

Everyone just stopped. Silence reigned. Nobody expected her to answer to the confession nor that it would be done with "violence".

"I mean that...I like you too, Kaminari. I've liked you for a while but I didn't noticed until someone pointed it out for me. I started to act tense and nervous around you after that, because I didn't expected you to feel the same. But now, knowing how you feel, it'd be great if you could be my starter." Spoke a timid but smiling and blushing sound heroine, before picking the napkin from the floor and placing it before her, facing her crush. "I-in other words I...I want to give u-us a c-chance. So...what do you say?" She finished with a grin while looking at the dumb face that the boy that had been on her head for the past weeks was making.

He was dumbstruck, shocked, happy and excited. All at the same time. He knew what he had to say but...his idiotic side differed. So, he ended saying something a little bit different.

He tapped the 'Pokeball' lightly with his fist and exclaimed 'Pika-Pika' with a big grin. At this, only a loud slapping sound could be heard in the background. It had been Bakugo, who had facepalmed himself very haed because of how idiotic of an answer that was. Nevertheless, the new couple started laughing at the bad joke and gave each other a well deserved hug.

Cheers erupted around them and a lots of congratulating messages from the class were spoken towards the new couple. At this moment of ruckus and happiness, Tooru and Ojiro entered the room with a lot of curiosity. "What's going on, guys?" Asked the confused martial artist towards the whole class.

"Kaminari finally grew a pair and confessed to Jiro!" Started answering Sero, while an annoyed 'Hey!' from the blonde could be heard at the insult, joined by laughter from the others. He then started turning around to see the person to who he had answered to, but at this he saw something that made him almost fall from pure shock. Ojiro and Tooru were walking towards the group...Hand in hand with each other! At least, that's what it seemed due to the fact that the girl was invisible. For an outsider, it could be seen as if Ojiro was grabbing the air and a group of clothes "floated" nearby him.

"You too?!" Exclaimed the tape user before being shoved to the side by Mina, who heard everything. "OH. MY. GOD! Tooru! Did he confess too?" Squealed the pink colored skin girl, which caused every member of the class to turn and see the other pair. In turn, Ojiro's cheeks reddened a little. As for Tooru, she giggled and jumped in joy before running towards her best friend and the other girls.

"When?! How?! Why?!" Squealed each question higher than the last one the acid user, due to sheer happiness for her best friend. And, as the invisible girl spoke about her now boyfriend's confession with quite a big amount of happiness to her friends, the martial artist went towards the boys with a blushing and nervous smile.

"Dude! Congratulations! How did you do it?" Asked an excited Kirishima after patting his friend's back, before all the other guys gathered around them with the same type of comments, sans Bakugo and Midoriya, who where busy talking with Eri. The little girl was showing them both the Kacchan plushie that Momo also made and had left at the couch in midst of all the commotion.

"I just followed Midoriya's and Bakugo's advices. I spoke with her about how I felt, told her that I wanted a chance to make this friendship something more, gave her the gift basket after sneaking out from the commotion here inside and then giving her the golden bracelet that Iida help me found." Calmly answered the tailed blonde hero, while his friends listened carefully. "In other words, you could say that Bakugo's plans do work. And from what I've heard, Kaminari's 'mission' also went as planned."

"Heh, yeah, didn't think that it would work. But I feel like I forgot something." Commented a little dumbfounded the electricity hero, while the other boys just patted him on the back and started to leave to do their own thing. "Whatever it is, you know have a girlfriend dude. Go and enjoy the afternoon with her. It's still around 3 pm, so you have plenty of time." Calmly stated the red headed hero with a big grin towards his friend.

And as everyone began to disassemble, Midoriya reacted. He had just overheard the conversation while playing with Eri. He reached for the forgotten, purple box on the floor and exclaimed "Kaminari, heads up!" before throwing said item towards the blonde.

It's not a surprise to say that whatever scenario that played in the greenette's head of his friend catching smoothly the box wasn't realistic. That is, because the reflexes of said electricity hero weren't the best of all. So, the box flew past his hands and gave a huge hug to his forehead.

"Ow! Again?! Why is it that I'm always being hurt?!" exclaimed the blonde hero in training. This drew the attention of the group of girls. When they started to turn around and get close to see if Kaminari was seriously hurt, he reacted. After being hit with a box on his right cheek, he searched for said item to throw it back in revenge. That were his thoughts until he saw it.

That was what he was forgetting! He grabbed the item and in a not-so-swift motion partially hid it behind him, while blushing hardly. All these movements attracted more attention, now from everyone in the room. Most of the boys were curious, as like the girls, but the ones who knew what was inside the box, almost facepalmed themselves. This wasn't really a smooth 'love-confession'.

"What's going on, Kaminari?" asked the tape hero towards his friend with a smug grin. "What are you hiding? And why are you blushing?" Complimented the red headed hero before elbowing slightly his friend on the side.

"I-it's nothing, d-don't mind it." Spoke the questioned blonde to try to hide the object before his girlfriend added "Why are you hiding it? Is it something that embarrassing?" With a little chuckle.

Not knowing what to do, Kaminari just stood there without speaking but sweating buckets. He searched for answers with his eyes but everywhere he looked, he was encountered with curious glares. Except for a pair of eyes. Midoriya's. They almost spoke to him with words of determination. So, he gathered all the courage that he could muster and just gave it to the girl it was intended to.

Or well, he practically shoved the box into her. At this, everyone just exclaimed a 'Huh?!' before Kaminari saying "This is for you, Jirou. I thought you might like it" and finishing with a big smile towards her.

After a big round of 'Whoos' and a lot of blushing from the sound heroine, she grabbed the box, opened the lid a little, squealed and hugged her boyfriend very hard. As everyone looked confused at the couples actions and Sero almost exclaiming a loud 'What the fuck?!', Midoriya interviened calmly "Let them be. Perhaps, that's something only the two of them understand. The important thing is that they're now together, right?"

At this words, everyone relaxed, smiled and congratulated the new two couples before returning to the activities that they all had. Tsuyu went to the kitchen with Uraraka, Todoroki, Kirishima, Momo and Iida to grab something to eat, while the others relaxed in the room.

Kaminari and Jirou were laughing at a stupid joke that Sero was telling them, whilst holding each other. Mina and Tooru were chatting animatedly on the couch, while Ojiro was taken away from there due to Tokoyami and Shoji for a board game.

And then there was the Double-Edge Sword duo, playing with a little bundle of joy. Or well, she was playing with her new plushies of her two big brothers, whilst said boys were watching her play, Bakugo being farther than the greenette to cause little suspicions. After a few minutes of observing, Midoriya went ahead and sat down with Eri to play and talk to her but Bakugo decided to leave and took off towards his room.

When Eri noticed this, she asked Midoriya something that made his heart skip a beat. "Big Bro Deku, is Big Bro Kacchan okay?" asked the little girl with innocence and a concerned look plastered in her face towards her hero. "Yes Eri, he is. He might be a little tired, so he went to sleep a little bit, don't worry." Answered the greenette sincerely. He knew that Bakugo was probably stressed and wanted to sleep or just to be alone a little bit. He was like that sometimes.

After a few more minutes, the people that were in the kitchen came out and joined the rest to enjoy their afternoon. Iida, Tsuyu and Uraraka joined Midoriya and Eri, so she could have more people to play with. Todoroki and Momo sat down nearby them, but didn't play, they just chatted. Kirishima, after asking Midoriya about Bakugo's location, went towards Sero to probably tease the new couple of Kaminari and Jirou.

And the afternoon went by in the doorms until Aizawa came by to pick up his 'daughter' from her caretakers after his 'busy meeting', with chit chat, teasing and playing with the little angel that visited them that Saturday. Meanwhile this all happened, Bakugo observed in silence from behind a corner for different reasons. First of all, he was tired and wanted to be by himself to have some peace. It had been an exhausting day. And it wasn't even past 4 pm! He needed some rest. Another reason why he wanted to just observe, was to pay attention to the other 'future relationships'. And it could be easily seen that Icy Hot and 3D-Printer had the hots for each other, exactly the same as Hair for Brains and Pepto Bismol or Emo Bird and Kermit's sister. But the most obvious and oblivious at the same time, were Deku and Round Face.

They were side by side while playing with Eri, who was excitedly chatting with them and paying more attention to this pair than to the other one's surrounding her, albeit unintentionally, but it could be easily seen that she enjoyed their company a lot. They were practically shoved into each other, light blushes seen on their faces as they played with the younger girl and sometimes stole glances of each other without the other knowing.

He knew that he had to help Deku confess and, seeing this interactions and how they mumbled or stuttered when they shared an accidental or light touch between them whils blushing crazily, knew that it was going to be a positive confession. The problem was how to help him do it. It was going to be a challenge. So, he went to his room to think about this.

He laid down on his bed, put on a pair of headphones, played some music and started to think of ways to 'force' Deku to confess until he drifted into a small nap. He began to see some of his childhood memories in his dream. He saw some times when he and Deku played together at his place, while his parents enjoyed the company of Deku's when his dad was alive. Those were truly happy times.

He then started to see different images on his dreams. He began to dream about a golden river which just dragged him at a relaxing pace towards nowhere. He began to hear laughter around him that sounded as a symphony to his ears. He began to smell a hint of a certain flower that he knew but couldn't remember its name all around him. And after some time trying to figure the things happening around him, he stopped and fell face forward towards the floor. When he started to get up, hurting a little bit, he heard something that he hadn't heard in a lot of time, which startled him and made him lift his face faster.

"Did you fell again Katsu? Do you really love the ground that much?" accompanied by a soft, feminine laughter coming from the girl in front of him. But before he could recognize her completely, he woke up. He was in a shocked state. He saw her again, but he couldn't recognize her face or her name!

"God FUCKING damnit! Not again!" screamed in a whisper-like tone the hot headed blonde inside his room. "I was close again. For fucks sake, why can't I remember her?!" started as some tears began forming in the edges of his eyes. He was about to start crying, when a ringing sound stole his attention. He had just received a message on his phone.

When he picked it up to see who had just messaged him, he saw the hour. "10:24 pm? Shit. I overslept. I'll get some food before sleeping again" spoke to himself before seeing that he had just received a plenty amount of messages.

Kakashi: Hey, could you help me a little? I think that I need some advice to confess to someone…

EdgyBird: Bakugo, if you don't mind, I would like to request your advices. I might need them for something that I have planned for.

PatricksPet: Bro! Could you give me a hand like you did to Kaminari?! PLEAAAAAAAASE?! I'd like to confess to Mina as soon as possible. I don't want Pikachu bragging in my face or calling me coward. PRETTY PLEAAAAAASE?!

KatyPerry: Bakugo, could you lend me some advices? I'd like to invite Yaoyorozu to a date but don't know how.

FourEyes: Dear Bakugo, I would like to solicit your advices. I might need them to clarify my thoughts a little…

Deku: Kacchan, there's some leftovers from today's dinner on the microwave. Sato cooked lasagna, it is delicious.

"Well, well, well…looks like there's more work to do." Spoke to no one in specific, before putting a pair of pants and heading downstairs for his dinner before starting to plan a new batch of strategies and ideas to pair people up.

Deku: Eri was a little concerned when you left earlier, but she understood that you needed some rest. She told me that she was looking forward to playing with you next time and that she will take care of her new plushies. I think that she likes us a little bit.

Deku: Thanks for taking care of her. I owe you big time.

Sent 10:03 pm.

After sending that last message, Izuku knew that he had to repay his childhood friend in some way. And after thinking a little, he remembered his conversation with him earlier and an idea came to him. As soon as the idea popped inside his brain, he began to rummage his room, searching for something in particular. And after a few minutes, he found it. A yearbook from when he was in elementary school.

"I will help you find her, Kacchan. I promise." Spoke silently the greenette before opening said item to search for a specific girl that his best friend needed to get back on his life.

Meanwhile, a few miles away from U.A., a blonde girl laid back on her bed while she watched the starry sky outside while recalling a memory of her first crush. She only remembered his blonde, spiky hair.

"Do you remember me? I miss you everyday…. I wish that I could see you again…my nameless prince…" spoke softly, hugging her pillow strongly before drifting off to dreamland.
