[ Yet again Uraraka finds her view of a classmate shifting by a few subtle degrees as she takes in the crumbs of his personality scattered around in innocuous objects. Her gaze lingers the longest on the medal lying discarded, good for nothing now but collecting dust. Clearly it means something very different for him than it would for her - not necessarily a bad thing, but nevertheless a reminder of how close she'd been to realizing a goal thought out of reach for a long, long time.
The loss doesn't sting quite so much now. That was a different time, and she was a different person, after all.

-- give me your notes -- ]


Oh, right. Here you go!

[ Uraraka jerks her attention back to her scowling study buddy with an apologetic smile, flipping haphazardly through a spiral bound notebook so she can slide it across for him to skim over.
It's... uh. Something. Lots of '???'s and bits that trail off into half finished words, evidence that her limited attention span went wandering off into the weeds somewhere. ]


It's not 'nothing', but... pretty close.

[ Bubbly writing for a bubbly girl! At least she doesn't dot her 'i's with hearts like Mina... that's just a bit too saccharine for Uraraka to handle. ]

Right, right. Just go easy on me if I don't get it right away, okay?

[ HA HA no chance of that. But she cracks open the notebook he gives her either way, resisting the urge to make a face at the stark contrast between the dense writing he's crammed in with the usual military efficiency and the sparse skeleton mockery of her own attempts. How can someone focus so hard on such a dry subject? Who knows? It's a mystery. The answer is simply 'because Bakugou ¯\_(ツ)_/¯', as usual.
BUT! Mama Uraraka didn't raise no quitter (and the nightmare scenario of dropping a letter grade is terrifying) so she's gonna study the absolute shit out of these texts even if she winds up comatose with history facts leaking out of her ears.

An apple bunny slice disappears into her mouth as she starts furiously scribbling away on a fresh page in her book, shiba inu brows furrowed in intense concentration as if staring at every individual word as hard as physically possible will make memorizing it any easier.
Hint: it won't. ]


It couldn't be that bad to take a quick break for dinner if we just take ten minutes--

[ Elbow, meet ribs. The perfect 'o' she was in the middle of writing gets a big, ugly zig-zag through it - a casualty of Uraraka's startled sideways jerk. rude. ]

Huh?! Wait, what do I owe you?

[ Taking a cue from the rest of the Bakusquad when they set him off - usually for fun - Uraraka holds her hands up in placation at shoulder height, just about as clear a 'alright, you win' concession as one could give.
Granted considering the soft pads on her fingers it could just as easily be a threat but that's definitely not intentional on her part. ]


It was just a suggestion!

[ Welp, so much for sneaking off for a snack. Ganbatte, Ochako! Power through and ignore the hunger pangs!!!!
The mention of delivery and the damning lightness of her wallet has her pep talk screeching to a halt as her eyes widen with equal parts alarm and astonishment he's even offering. If you told Uraraka she'd enjoy having a late night study date with the school's most notorious overachiever, she probably would've thought you hit your head a little too hard.

Which is to say she turns a fascinating shade of pink and suddenly finds her notes extremely interesting to look at.
She's broke af dude this is such an embarrassing situation. ]


Um, something cheap I guess? Konbini onigiri is pretty good. Maybe some mochi too...?

[ #bargainbintrashlife

Meanwhile, Uraraka's stuck between a rock and a hard place while she tries to figure out whether or not she has the pocket change to cover delivery. Pizza can be thrifty depending on the toppings but then again having a bunch of greasy food tends to make her nausea act up way worse than something lighter, and chicken should be fine as long as it's not some kind of fancy french style caramelized onions and whatever else that's been so popular lately. Then again she hasn't had pork in a while either --

She might not share his penchant for throwing down anytime, anywhere, but having Bakugou get on her case while she's already in full panic mode sure isn't helping her make a prompt decision!

Slowly, ominously, Uraraka turns her head to pin him with the full force of the Gremlin Stare™. ]


You know what, how about you choose?

[ ゴゴゴゴ ]

I'm just so focused on getting these notes done it's tough to make a decision anyway. Ha ha.

Boooo, work sucks :c

[ Well you know the saying about assuming! Generally the idea of asking 'so are you gonna pay for me or?' of Bakugou is uniquely uncomfortable in the way of all socially awkward moments. Therefore, the easiest way to handle it would be... not to handle it in the first place. Genius!

Uraraka's face shifts into something a little less like a startled cryptid and more like herself - albeit with a distinctly determined bent with the furrow of her brow as she thrusts a fist in the air like an Olympic champion on the placement pedestal (instead of being some dweeb getting stoked over delivery of all things). Is she sure? OF COURSE SHE IS! This is just another obstacle on the way to making herself the strongest Ochako she can be!!!! ]


I can handle it, trust me!

[ She has no idea what she's in for. ]

Thank!!!! Glad I'm doing her justice! c:

[ He's right in thinking Uraraka won't back down if push comes to shove, but in instances like this one knowing when to take the L and survive another day is prooooobably the wisest choice. As it is she's fully aware self-styled King Explosion Murder is up to something nefarious, but she just can't quite put her finger on it yet...
Maybe the food's served with some crazy exotic sauce or the way it's cooked is kinda weird and he's just trying to get a reaction? It'll be fine. A little spice won't kill her!
What's the worst that could happen?

...Defaulting to thinking the best of Bakugou and his motives is, alas, going to bite her in the butt once the delivery arrives. Pls send flowers to her funeral. ]


"Scoville"? [ HMMMMMM..... oh wait, yeah, she's heard that name before! ] Don't they make toasters and stuff?

[ Ochako honey that's Breville you're thinking of--
Completely unaware of the stunning Airhead Moment™ that just came out of her mouth, she gives him the biggest grin and a ✧MOTIVATIONAL FIST PUMP✧ like he even needs the encouragement in the first place. ]


Anyway, you should definitely order your favorites! Maybe I'll like them too, you know?

Uhh....

[ Crap. She kind of stopped writing altogether when he mentioned food, so... ]

Fine! It's fine. Going great!

[ SHE'S SO FULL OF SHIT. Looking down at her notebook, the sadly scribbled 'o' is still there, followed by some word-salad mishmash that devolved into blank paper as her limited attention span switch from study mode to snack mode. Multitasking is definitely not one of her strong suits, unfortunately.
Fully aware of the hell she'll pay if her classmate peeps just how behind she is on their study session, Uraraka snatches her notebook off the table (wow, so subtle) and starts writing as fast as she can between the odd snatched glance at his notes.

It's not fine. But hey, he did distract her first. ]

[ Uraraka's head whips up from staring intently at her notes over to Bakugou instead, looking equal parts offended and betrayed. Is this what he always does? Has Kirishima been subjected to the same kind of last minute panic?
wait does he even study with kirishima she's never seen them poring over notes together... ]


Now you're just torturing me!

[ A fingertip lances out. Pointing. Nay, accusing! One of those cute little finger beans is dangerously close to jabbing him in the cheek, but she's too far into her righteous indignation to respect his personal space bubble now.
All in all she's actually making reasonable time copying or reformatting the pertinent parts of the module, it's just having the sudden additional weight thrown on top of her study workload that's sparked so much alarm. It's just a quiz! So what if she flunks? It's not like she has anything to lose.

wow what a nice foam ball, it'd be a shame if he did something terrible with it. ]

[ The five minutes of grace time passes in a blur for Uraraka, hunched over her notes like some miniature gargoyle as she copies line after line of relevant facts and passages. Honestly she's not even sure what she's writing is sticking considering the speed she's trying to prioritize, but that's a problem for future Uraraka to deal with - some nebulous, far off in the distance point that might as well be 'never'.

"Time's up."

Just like that, Bakugou blows a hole in her sense of time and space, leaving only panic. ]


Wait, wait! I'm not done yet!

[ aaaAAAA oh no OH NO okay she's got this just a quick two more sentences it's fine it's totally fine everything's under control nothing to worry about--
Curling protectively over her notes, she hastily scribbles out the last passage she needs before sitting bolt upright and slamming her pencil on the table with enough force to rattle the tabletop, a little surprised that she managed to focus on one task for so long.

All thanks to The Bakugou Effect, clearly. ]

[ Truthfully, she's already doing much better in the mock tests than she could dare to hope for if she studied the material on her own. He's a stern taskmaster, true, but the acknowledgement when she does answer correctly means so much more... because Bakugou doesn't sugarcoat a single damn thing for anyone. Faint praise has more weight; it's meaningful, because she earned it, fair and square.

It'd be nice if the price of perfection wasn't so infuriating though. ]


You're so mean.

[ Uraraka complains, like making her suffering known to the universe will make a lick of difference how Bakugou exists in the same space. Scrunching her face at his retreating back, she rubs at the pink mark on her forehead where the ball had repeatedly pinged off her skull and obediently bends back to the task of stuffing as many notes into both her book and memory as she can.
She gets a couple paragraphs in before her attention inevitably wavers - eyes aimlessly wandering over to his side of the table, and the source of her woe... sitting right there. In the open. Just begging to be tampered with.

By the time he returns, the ball will be gone. Poof. Vanished. And Uraraka will still be diligently working away like nothing happened. ]

Why would I--?!

[ SLAM.

Ahhh, there we go. He wouldn't truly be the class hothead if she didn't get a parting shot death threat squeaked in at the last second just because. It's a miracle he hasn't threatened to blow her up until now - actually, even that's kind of tame for him, now that she's thinking about it. Is that his 'nice' setting? Should she consider this 'progress'? Sort of???? Boys are so confusing...
All the rampant thoughts running through her head like a bunch of loose cats has her just staring blankly at the door where his snarling face disappeared behind, but Uraraka eventually gives herself a shake and does as she's told.

...
Does she seem like the kind of girl to snoop? Is that the kind of vibe she's giving off? Should she feel offended right now?!

Better question, what kind of stuff is he hiding to be worth that kind of warning, anyway? Not that she's actually planning on getting nosy, obviously! HA HA... no... of course not...
But now that she's got the thought lodged deep in her brain matter, the curiosity makes it extremely difficult to concentrate on the same sentence she's read about five times and absorbed exactly none of. Big surprise. At least she's not touching anything? (minus the ball she stole earlier still gently floating across the ceiling like a tiny celestial body, because even she's not immune to a little spite now and then.) ]

[ Uraraka's head jerks up from where she'd rested her cheek on the palm of her hand, frowning down at her notes (huh. she's actually made actual progress for once - that's a weird feeling) after the umptillionth time hammering the facts into her brain matter. Muscle memory has her halfway uncoiling from her crosslegged sitting pose, so used to helping her parents with bringing in groceries that she has to actively stop herself from asking if he needs help carrying anything.

Of course he doesn't - it's Bakugou - but she waffles uncertainly for a couple moments before sinking back down again to neatly stack the books off to the side, brushing off the tabletop with a couple cursory sweeps of her forearm for good measure just to keep her hands busy.

Ta-dahhhhhh! One clean eating surface. Let's see the goods. ]


Good to go!

[ And since he's apparently paid already and Uraraka's loathe to be a bad houseguest... ]

Thanks for the food. And the help, too. This stuff is really difficult for me to get my head around, you know?
nullgravity: (🪐 13)
From: [personal profile] nullgravity
[ Wh--- Bakugou no!!!!!
Uraraka's face goes a little red, all fidgeting immediately vanishing before it's interpreted as more embarrassing misunderstandings. Honestly! He might be one of the most intelligent people in their class, but sometimes he could be breathtakingly dense at the exact same time. From one extreme to the other... ]


Just excited to eat, I guess. Thank you for the meal.

[ Grumble grumble. Here she is trying to be a good guest and getting her pure intentions misinterpreted in the worst possible way, because it's never a dull moment with their class of oddballs. There might, maybe, be just a little more force than necessary thrown into pulling her chopsticks apart, but it's fine. Nobody will notice.
One (1) petulant mouthful of rice and katsu later, Uraraka lights up, making a muffled noise of approval. ALL IS FORGIVEN. This food is really, really, good!

Fortunately she isn't so blissed out by gourmet snacks that all social taboo has flown out of her head, so she hurriedly gulps down her chicken and rice, scrubbing roughly at her mouth with the back of her hand before leaping to her own defense. ]


I focus when it counts, most of the time. It's just... different with you. [ Truthfully, she's not really sure why that's the case. Not in tangible terms, anyway, just the vaguest sense of grim determination that she'd found in their exhibition match, something she still hasn't been able to assign a word to just yet. A fundamental lack of self preservation, maybe? It's difficult to say for sure, but she has a feeling that a fraction of his unshakeable confidence might have rubbed off on her at some point - for better or for worse.

CHOPSTICK POINT. Behold, the fighting spirit of being stared down by a girl with bits of rice stuck to her cheek! Terrifying, right? ]
But I'm gonna pass that test, and then you'd better watch your back, got it?

[ Lord, the irony of Bakugou's dinner etiquette being leaps and bounds better than hers...

All these blows to the head in such a short time is going to leave a tender spot if she keeps this up, but Uraraka does concede the point that maybe it's just a little uncool to go assaulting her host with utensils, swallowing her pride and making do with a vaguely irked expression instead as she turns back to her katsu.

Terrible timing on her part, really. The challenge dangles in front of her nose the very second after she takes an enormous bite of chicken and rice, and it takes every speck of her self control not to immediately leap right back into arguing with her mouth full. For one, it'd prove him right, and second, she doesn't want to waste good food.
It makes for a singularly strained silence as she stares back at him with brows furrowed - very much wanting to swallow the bait hook, line, and sinker.

Once both food and the intent behind the poke to her ego is sufficiently processed, the expected riposte isn't far behind. ]


See? This is what I mean! [ She finally ekes out, flicking a finger back and forth between them in an excitable 'us, right here, right now' gesture (and pointedly wiping her mouth on a napkin this time). That little pause was just enough for Uraraka's annoyance to transmute into determined optimism on the spot, like some convoluted magic trick.
Inspiration through challenge. Is this what Kirishima feels like all the time? ]
Talk big all you want, we both know I already almost beat you once. Next time you won't be so lucky.

[ Hey, she can talk smack too. Tit for tat. ]

If you say so.

[ Score one for Uraraka!

It's unlikely she'll ever get the chance to argue with him in a relaxed setting like this again - let alone actually make a legitimate point in the process - so she refrains from pushing her luck, no matter how tempting it might be to press the advantage. That doesn't stop her from s l o w l y raising one eyebrow at him though, clearly not to be smug or anything. Not even a little bit! The bland smile on her face says as much.

Uraraka resumes nibbling on the katsu and rice (angry chewing excluded) in neat bites, pulling her notebook over with the pads of her fingertips to review the staggering amount of legible study material she's scribbled inside courtesy of Bakugou's Plus Ultra Study Regimen™. It's a shame he's such a hellion, really... with results like these, she would be tempted to ask him for help again in the future.

But that's neither here nor there.

Between scrolling on his phone and reviewing her notes, the quiet activity makes for a surprisingly peaceful dinner, broken only by the rattling of chopsticks on takeout containers or the riffling of paper. Only after she's fished up the very last grains of rice and crumbs of chicken that Uraraka lifts her head from her cheek to turn her attention to her classmate. ]


You know, I always wondered... what would you have done if I'd managed to make contact with my quirk?

It's finally time! ❤️

[ Ochako comes from a world of Quirks, a world of Heroes and Villains where people have literal superpowers, so maybe she shouldn’t be surprised at the situation she’s found herself in. Later, she’ll look back on her reaction with embarrassment, wishing she’d been a just a little cooler and taken it all in stride, but…

Being transported to a different world? That’s way beyond the realm of any Quirk she knows about!

On top of that, this is the worst time she could possibly be taken. Right before a war is about to start… she’s scared, for everyone back home, but the note had told her that time back home was frozen, so… at the very least, her fear hasn’t turned into panic just yet.

…Assuming she can believe any of this. Anyway, she was worried she’d be all alone here, but when she notices Bakugou… ]


Bakugou-kun? [ She calls out his name in surprise, wide eyes blinking once as she notices him approaching her. Is everyone else here, too? ]

[ For a moment, Ochako is still too stunned to speak. Especially considering Bakugou seems more... shocked...? Than she would've expected. Not that it wouldn't surprise him to see her, of course... maybe she's overthinking it?

But she breaks the silence just as quickly, suddenly flooding him with a barrage of questions as she turns to face him fully. ]


Is that you, Bakugou-kun? Are you okay? I just woke up here, and I don't know where we are... do you have any idea what's going on? Where are the others?

[ ...Okay, so maybe that's a few too many questions to ask him at once, but she's overwhelmed, okay! ]
