Hey guys!

So this is the third part of Issues, I tried my best to make it a happy ending so I hope you enjoy!

There are situations in life that everyone dreads. Like realizing there is no toilet paper left in the bathroom or forgetting someone's name whilst talking to them. Running into your ex at a public place is probably at the top of the list but meeting them during a speed date is even worse and unfortunately, for Uraraka, fate has only the worse things in store for her.

The event was being held in a small café on the outskirts of the town. Small tables had been laid out all over the place for the participants.

Uraraka checked the time on her phone before putting it back inside her bag. The man sitting infront of her didn't really seem interested in having a conversation with her and so after many failed attempt at making small talk, Uraraka gave up and started waiting for time to pass quickly. A few moments later, she heard the clink of a glass, indicating that it was time to move on to the next person and bid farewell to her partner.

She gave a sigh of relief as she walked over to the next spot. The last seven minutes had been really awkward and she hoped that the next match would be better.

Pulling out her chair, the brunette took a glance at her new partner but as soon as her eyes noticed a pair of scarlet irises and a familiar grumpy face staring back at her, she stopped.

"K-katsuki?" She said, trying to make sure that her eyes weren't playing tricks on her. A few blinks later and she still saw him looking back at her.

A minute or so passed without anyone saying a thing and an air of awkwardness surrounded their table. Her mind felt like a mess, with thoughts and things to say but the words died out before leaving her tongue.

Still standing, Uraraka heard a small cough behind her and looked around to see a few people staring at her. The brunette mumbled a small sorry and sat down clumsily. Not being able to bring herself to look up, she started tracing small circles on her thighs.

"Did you come alone?" Bakugo asked, looking to his side.

The question made Uraraka look up. It came as a surprise and it felt weird hearing his voice again after six years. A small tingling sensation ran down her spine as she nodded her head slightly.

"What about you?" She returned his question in a small voice, not sure where they were going with this conversation.

"Kirishima dragged me here…" Bakugo pointed towards another table and Uraraka followed it to see the red-haired man gleefully chatting away with a beautiful girl sitting across him.

The brunette gave a small smile, seeing that he still looked as cheerful as ever. She returned her attention towards Bakugo, looking him in the face properly for the first time. The scar on his cheek caught her attention and she remembered hearing something on the news about it. In the past she would've been able to ask him about it.

"D-did you meet someone nice yet?" Uraraka laughed nervously, not sure if she should've asked that but she figured it was better than sitting silently.

It was Bakugo's turn to blink in surprise. The question really wasn't what he was expecting but the explosion hero scoffed, "I didn't even wanna come to this shitty place. "

Unexpectedly for him, Uraraka let out a suppressed laugh at his answer. Bakugo was the last person she had expected to see in this kind of place and she could only imagine the torment he was being put through.

"Was it really that bad?" She bobbed her head to one side.

"The girl before you asked me if I could get her a date with half and half bastard." Bakugo said with a stoic expression making Uraraka laugh yet again. As pointless as their conservation seemed, a strange warm feeling welled up inside of her especially since she had expected their re-encounter to be much scarier. She felt her heart sink a little as faded memories and flashbacks rained her mind.

"Listen, Bakugo…" Uraraka bit her lower lip as she tried to form her next sentence. She knew that bringing up the past wasn't the best decision in this case but if words could fix their relationship, she was more than willing to try. 'I-I want us to start over as friends." She let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding and looked at him with a mixture of anxiousness and uncertainty, trying to predict his reaction.

The blond hero looked at her silently for sometime before letting out a sigh. He reached over the table and flicked her forehead gently, "When were we ever friends, round-cheeks? You just came to me one day and begged me to train with you." He teased her and settled down in his seat.

"What? I did not!" The brunette pouted cutely. His reaction surprised her but at the same time she felt kind of relieved.

"Sure you didn't." Bakugo said sarcastically as he crossed his arms over his chest.

But before Uraraka could retort, they heard a clinking sound and looked down to their watches to find out that seven minutes had already passed a slight sense of urgency, she picked up her stuff and looked over at him expectantly.

"We're fine, round-face." Bakugo replied and as soon the words left his mouth, her face lit up.

Maybe fate wasn't so cruel after all.

Thanks for reading.
