grow as we go
A/n: this is my first fic/drabble, so feedback is welcome! I was listening to this song when I got the idea for this and Iâm not sure if it was going for more sad or hopeful, but this is gonna be more on the sad side.
Pairing: Uraraka/Deku, Uraraka/Bakugou (platonic) Genre: Angst
                           ~~~
Quickly walking to the door and slamming it out of anger, Uraraka huffed as she turned towards the fridge. Making her way over to it, she opened it and stuck her head in the cool air, letting the air cool off her face, along with her temper. After a while, she grabbed a water and turned around, set on going to the guest room to lay down only to stop at the sight of a very familiar box.
Uraraka sat in the middle of the floor next to the box, staring around at her half empty apartment. Putting on a playlist, she started going through the miscellaneous things from their UA days that he had left behind. Several pictures of one of them that the other had taken, them with their friends, and about double that of them together.
You say thereâs so much you donât know You need to go and find yourself You say youâd rather be alone âCause you think you wonât find it tied to someone else
She paused as the song started to play, torn between changing it and listening it out to cry her eyes out to. Reaching for her phone, Urarakaâs gazed landed on the small pink stuffed mochi looking plush that he had won for her at one of the festivals.
Ooh, who said itâs true That the growing only happens on your own? They donât know me and you
Tears welled up in her eyes as she redirected her hand to pick up the plushie. Bringing it close to her, she hugged it and let the tears fall remembering every detail of that day.
How cute she looked in the new yukata that she had allowed herself to splurge on, and how he wore one that matched hers.
Spending most of the day with their peers and friends, then once night fell, everyone split off on their own or into groups. They had decided to try and make a little date out of it, at least until they had to meet up for the fireworks display where the who class had decided to watch from.
How he had been so proud to win this very plushie for her, and how he had kissed her cheek as he gave it to her, saying it reminded him of how sweet she was.
I donât think you have to leave If to change is what you need You can change right next to me When youâre high, Iâll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow And weâll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go
You wonât be the only one I am unfinished, Iâve got so much left to learn I donât know how this river runs But Iâd like the company through every twist and turn
The scene changed to their graduation. Him standing in front of everyone of 3-A making a small speech before the ceremony. They all couldnât wait to work together and grow to be better Pros. Together.
The Ceremony was a high point for all of them. They were finally done with the school part, on to the real work until. Sure, they had their internships since their first year, but this is where it would all really count. They had made names for themselves, now to show that it wasnât the wrong choice to train them.
Time for them to work towards making their own agencies.
You donât ever have to leave If to change is what you need You can change right next to me When youâre high, Iâll take the lows You can ebb and I can flow And weâll take it slow And grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go Grow as we go
It wasnât a few months after graduation that they had moved in together. Starting the next chapter of their lives together. Moving all of their stuff from the dorms and their parentâs houses was a chore in and of itself, but they were too excited at the prospect of having a little home together.
Home. It sounded so nice to the both of them.
They would be at separate agencies, but this place was all theirs and they couldnât wait to see what waited for them in the future.
I donât know who weâll become I canât promise itâs not written in the stars But I believe that when itâs done That we grew up together
Then there was the day he told her he was leaving for America. It broke her heart, and she begged him not to go.
Of course, he wanted her to come with him, but she couldnât. She couldnât take the same risk with her career that he could, not when she was trying so hard to help out her parents.
They fought over it, for weeks before the day he was set to leave. Today.
âTell me you donât wanna leave.â She begged him one last time.
Picking up his last box, the love of her life turned to face her. Staring down at his old red sneakers, his voice was hoarse as he replied, âAs much as I would love to Ochako, I canât do it anymore,â he sighed, âMy plane with All Might leaves soon, do you want to come with me to see me off?â
Getting angry with him, she yelled at him, âIf you donât want to stay, I donât want to see you off.â She turned her back to him as soon as she finished.
She heard him sigh before he ended the conversation, âIf thatâs how itâs going to be then fine. But I do love you Ochako, please donât doubt that.â
Turning around to yell at him some more, she found he was already goneâŚ.
 It was only about 20 minutes later when Bakugou had come to check on her. He knew that Deku left today, and after he and Pink Cheeks had started training and being friends since the beginning of their second year, he knew he had to be the one to help her through this. He had knocked on the door twice before pulling out the key that they had forced him to take.
Walking in, he saw the pictures from UA scattered about, along with Uraraka crying. Hearing the song that she had playing, his face softened a tiny bit. Walking over, he picked up her phone and turned the song off. Setting the phone back beside her, he knelt down before putting his hand on her head.
âOi, Pink Cheeks.â
Uraraka finally looked up from the pictures, only for more tears to gather in her eyes. âWas I not good enough for him to stay, Tsuki?â
Rolling his eyes at the awful nickname she always called him, he comforted her, âNo, Cheeks. Deku is just a shitty nerd who doesnât know whatâs good for him.â
âThen why wouldnât he stay for me?â
âCause the nerd thinks he has to do exactly the same as All Might. Now come on, Frogger and Icy-hot are waiting at my place. They have ice cream and your favorite shitty horror movies waiting for you.â
âHow did they know?â
âCause Deku told me weeks ago what was going on, and I knew you would need someone there for you.â
Uraraka tackled Bakugou in a hug, âyouâre the best friend, you know that right?â
âYeah, Yeah, now get the hell off, we gotta get going.â
