Chapter Text
Ochako goes to an apartment to get the files that Katsuki forgot and take them back to the office.
She is prim and proper from head to toe, with all the make up for her to be dolled up and pretty. Why all the trouble just to get some files? Well there is more to it than that. Today she will be a judge. She wanted to see her boss's boyfriend of 10 years that the man rarely talks about but never denies of.
She needs to see with her own eyes this secretive man that got her love interest’s attention for 10 whole years.
Surely this person must be very handsome if he got Katsuki's heart somehow. So Ochako came prepared. If she is going to meet a handsome rival she needs to be beautiful as well.
She rings the doorbell once. It took almost a minute for her to hear footsteps coming, making her think that maybe no one is at home. That would be a shame and waste of time but the door does open in a swift motion, making her step back.
"Sorry sorry I kinda nodded off." The shy voice greeted her as the person handed her the envelope.
"Here. I hope Kacchan didn't get into trouble without it. I told him I'd deliver it myself but he said don't bother. Seriously that guy." There was a small laughter as the man adjusted his oversized glasses that hide his eyes on his freckled nose and cheeks
Ochako takes the envelope from a man with the most messy green hair that looks like an overgrown bush. The large sweatshirt he wore, with the words AT HOME on it, looks about to eat him alive and even had Cheeto dust and crumbs. He is wearing baggy pajamas and are those red crocs?!
"Ah yes. Why bother." Ochako repeats. Her smile is wide on her glossy lips and once she is done with her scrutiny she almost cackles but it would be unbecoming and she is still in front of this - thing.
No wonder her boss didn't want him coming to the office to deliver the files and send Ochako instead.
The green bush of a person seems to have stiffened a bit but his composure didn't change, a very awkward one.
"So yes, thank you. I will be sure to tell Katsuki-kun that I have gotten the files." She slightly bows out of respect and turns to leave. It was a while before she heard the door closed behind her, telling her that the so-called boyfriend of her boss had gone back in the apartment.
Ochako hails a taxi when she reaches the road. Once she got inside her smile wouldn't leave her face.
"So that was it? Pfft. I can do better than 'that'."
She lets herself giggle a bit this time. She feels too giddy to stop herself. She lets out her phone, unable to stop herself once again. She just had to call her friend about everything.
"Hello Mina." She says to other person on the line.
"Yeah I finally saw the illusive boyfriend and let me tell you he is so uglllyyyy."
The files on her lap felt heavy even though they were just a few pages, after all they do carry the weight on how she can finally get what she wanted.
----
Ochako is always well dressed. Always the calm and composed one with a bit of a cute side. She could get anything she wanted just by a pout of her pink glossy lips and a bat of her eyelashes.
In the office, every man would easily do her will, be it filling some documents that she was supposed to do or make a report that was one hour before due.
She is cute and she uses it to her own good. Pretty privilege is such a thing.
Everyman would fight for attention, everyone except,
"Uraraka! Where are the documents?"
Bakugou Katsuki, her boss.
Her boss, who is 6ft tall with big powerful arms, prominent pectorals and broad shoulders that go down a slim waist. His three piece suit could never cover those godly proportions.
Golden blonde hair sits on his head and those red eyes could burn your soul.
He is the reason Ochako applied at this firm. How could she not after seeing the man's picture in a business magazine. It was even just a stolen picture but he was hot as hell!
This man is her goal!
"Well?" Irritability, he asked her straight on.
"Ah yes sir, here it is." She handed over the brown envelope and gave her best smile that was sure to sure her right dimple.
Katsuki takes the envelope, looks at her up and down, most probably noticing how much cuter she looks today with her hair and make up done.
It gave her insides the tingles knowing that he is finally noticing her.
"Tsk."
She heard him click his tongue and walk back into his office without even thanking her. Ochako could have sworn she saw him roll his eyes.
When his office door closed when he went inside, Ochako shook in frustration.
Katsuki never showed interest in her even from the start. When she asks around she finds out her boss is already taken and not by a woman but by a man at that and they have been together for 10 years.
Katsuki doesn't even deny it yet he never talks about this boyfriend either. She became so curious about the elusive boyfriend as to how beautiful he must be to captivate her boss. She really wanted to see what he looked like.
Earlier she finally did and what a let down. No wonder he never talks about him.
That guy must have been handsome when they were younger or maybe Katsuki is just still confused.
She just needs to push a little bit more and she can get what she wants.
"I'm not giving up."
She marches back to her cubicle to go back to work and think of new ways to get her boss's attention.
Days have passed to no avail. In fact Katsuki seems to get even more irritable everytime she comes by or maybe it's just her imagination because for sure she didn't do anything wrong to him unless that nerdy slob told Katsuki something wrong about her.
She bites on her thumbs manicured nail in anger at the thought of it. That must be it. That slob must have told Katsuki how he was bullied by her during the visit.
Freaking liar! He made her ruin her nail. She'll have to get that fixed later.
Ochako centers herself and tries to calm down. This is just a minor drawback. A small inconvenience like this shouldn't deter her. She must show Katsuki that she is still a good person no matter the lies being spread about her.
"Alright let's do this." She encouraged herself and went off to do even better at her job, also known as asking her colleagues to do her work for her and showing it to Katsuki as if it was her own effort.
More days pass and her boss doesn't frown on seeing her anymore. Her plan is a success. She knows she can do anything as long as she sets her mind to it.
She feels mighty proud of herald that when it was break time after a group meeting with her boss around, she volunteered to buy him a cup of coffee from the coffee shop next building. She knows how much he likes the coffee there.
Katsuki looks impressed with her and even says thanks.
She could help but bat her lashes and smile up to her ears. There is a hop in her steps when she walks towards the hole in the wall coffee shop at the next building. Things are certainly going her way.
He gets inside and is greeted by the smell of freshly roasted coffee and sweet baked treats.
She went to the counter to make her order and waited just as the person stood beside her to make their order.
"Iced cafe mocha with four shots of espresso please."
Ochako knows that voice. She turns to her left instantly and sees a bush of untamed green.
It's the boyfriend and she cringes. His oversized glasses covered his eyes as always and this time he is wearing khaki cargo shorts, red sneakers that make him look like he has clown feet and a shirt that says 'shirt.'
"Oh hi." He says to her and smiled shyly.
"Hello." She greets back with her own perfectly practiced smile. It wasn't fake, she truly has something to smile about. Once again this proves that Katsuki just made a mistake and was just confused when he got into a relationship with this guy.
And what good man drinks iced coffee anyway. A real man drinks their coffee hot like Katsuki.
"We met again. It's like fate or something." It's natural for her to flirt even if this guy is gay. She will give him at least something to feel about a girl.
This man, who she knows is Midoriya Izuku just giggles.
"Maybe so." and says nothing more. He just waited for his order.
Awkward and unattractive. What a perfect combination.
"Double shot café americano for Katsuki-kun." The barista called out for her order and Ochako took it.
She saw the confused way Midoriya raised her eyebrow that made her smile even more.
"Oh yes, Katsuki wanted coffee. So I got him some. You know how he is with his mood if he doesn't get coffee at this place." She says to him in a tone that hinted how much she knew about Katsuki like the back of her hand to her boyfriend.
"Ah yeah, he can get a bit grumpy." Midoriya looks back at the cashier to wait for order again, this time there was a strange air around him and Ochako knew she got the reaction that she wanted.
She made him feel insecure.
The first step. Now for the second step.
"Midoriya-kun. I really do believe it's faith that got us together. I know we haven't known each other much and I shouldn't be the one to do this but since you are our boss's boyfriend…" She sweetens her tone to be very innocent and demure.
"... I was thinking you should join us in the annual cherry blossom viewing activity we have yearly this weekend." She announces, tilting her head a little bit to make her look more cute.
"It's an office get together but I know the HR and I'm sure he wouldn't mind having you over." She extends a hand to him to shake and agree with the offer, making sure he had no choice but to agree.
Midoriya stared at her with those glasses and sure enough he reached out to shake her hand.
"Sure." He replied and nodded.
"Great, see you this Saturday then. And oh don't tell Katsuki, let's surprise him!" She let go of his hand and winked at him before walking back to her office. Once again with a hope in her step because this Saturday is going to be so much fun.
She crosses the street with her mind floating.
—
Everyone is in good spirits while sitting on the picnic blanket. The cherry blossom petals have already scattered over almost everything and many more are falling down elegantly through the light breeze.
Some are already tipsy and all are full from the prepared food and drinks.
Ochako is with her female friends in their own picnic blanket a bit away from the rest but not too far. She sips on her beer as the girls gather around her.
"Are you sure the infamous boyfriend will come?" Mina asked her for how many times already and she keeps saying yes because nerds like that always keep their promise.
"So you say he isn't all that good looking like we thought he is?" Camie asked this time, looking dumbly curious.
"Yeah. He looked like he shops at thrift stores, and is a NEET. His hair is like a bird's nest and he looks just creepy. He probably just bums around Katsuki's apartment all day while watching TV. He probably lives off Katsuki's money. I feel so bad for our boss."
The girls all gasp in disgust and disbelief. This is just to prepare them for what they are about to see. The total mess that is their boss’s boyfriend who will probably try to dress nice but will ultimately fail.
She drinks down her beer before talking to them again.
"You'll see."
The loud chats of the people viewing the cherry blossoms suddenly come to a halt.
And everyone turned their heads as to what could be the reason.
"Oh… my… god…"
