Exploding Through Dimensions

Chapter 21: Not Even Close

"Oi watch it!"

"I...I..." Gaping like a fish out of water—which oddly enough was her destination in the first place—her eyes instantly darted down the exposed skin of his chest without permission making her stomach nervously flip flop.

His lips are wet, his skin and hair still dripping from the water which told her that he'd just left. The ripples of his muscles across his chest and abs made her begin to swallow hard of thirst as her own mouth parted with a silent gasp. 'Oh...'

As her traitorous eyes continued to wander further into dangerous territory, she could see the scar that still lingered on his chest from the war not long ago, and his biceps flexing as he continued to clutch the simple white towel snuggly wrapped around his waist while his other hand remained firmly on her arm to continue to hold her steady after she nearly crashed against him.

Her eyes stayed on the towel longer than it should as it disappeared below his abdomen.

Swallowing down hard she felt her mind wondering for the briefest of seconds. If she asked...would he let her run her tongue along those delicious ridges-—'Wait, what am I doing?!'

"Oi."

When she forced her eyes back up to his face she was startled to see him already watching her closely, his eyes growing with mere shock when realization finally sunk in.

Busted.

Was Ochaco Uraraka checking him out?!

"What the-" Snapping his mouth shut with a snap he swiftly removed his hand from her arm like she might combust any minute from how red her face grew. He was just about to ask what the hell she'd been thinking when she nearly ran into him until his eyes fixated on the sad excuse of a towel that she still held clutched to her chest with dear life. 'Holy shit!'

Was she naked?!

He knew that was a stupid question on his part considering he had just left the springs himself and with one look on the flush on her cheeks told him all he needed to know.

The temping pink on her lips that still remained parted in shock, and the curve of her body had him standing shock still in fear that any sudden moves would make the situation worse. 'Shit...'

Just as quickly the sudden need to see what her skin might feel like made his fingers involuntary twitch before forcing his gaze upwards to try and be respectful enough—or wise enough in this case—to keep his eyes on something over her shoulder. Forcing any of these thoughts as far away from his mind as he could.

Repeatedly opening his mouth he tried to come up with anything to say that'll make this situation any less uncomfortable, but it seemed that he suddenly forget how to complete any coherent thoughts or words in this case since his stupid mind and body were in sync to try and work together to screw him over right now!

"I'm sorry!" she squeaked before rushing past him in an impressive speed after she felt like she was about to pass out from embarrassment. 'Please tell me that didn't just happen?!'

Her heart was racing and feeling like she had run a mile because of what had just happened. She never had these kinds of thoughts about anyone before, even in the off chance that she came across any of the guys at school...these were things she never even considered even with Deku—which she knew was odd given how well build everyone was.

But Bakugo was always different. Any time the ash blond made his presence known with very little clothing she always found herself having to turn avert her eyes, bashful and embarrassed—which is what she probably should have done now. And now she understood why, but it was never to this extent.
