#here`s some soft angst uvu

[urabitea]

       THE DEAD OF NIGHT was normally the time when everything was at ease, where silence &. stillness put one`s thoughts at a calm plateau, regardless of the unknown &. mysterious nature of the darkness in nightfall. Both peace &. dread, simultaneously existing in the same body. Strangely enough, this was the time Ochako felt the most relaxed --- not surrounded by people ( though, a social butterfly like her finds that being around her friends was her own way to recharge ); but, basking under the moonlight beneath the stars. Alone. It brings her comfort. Like she can finally breathe, a time to unwind without the weight of gravity.

       Yet, tonight... there was no relief in being alone. Not even the comforting presence of the moon &. stars can put her at ease; they were merely balls of light that were too far away, away from her reach. Afflicted with racing thoughts without her friends to serve as a distraction, she was hit with an insomniac episode that kept her awake with no signs of reproach. Her back faced the living room space as she stared off outside the window, absent-minded, anywhere her eyes followed to the ground below. Lonely. Like she forgets that, sometimes, she shouldn`t always hold her breath &. actually breathe. Thoughts of failure, jealousy, inability to live up to expectations, feeling weak --- Ochako learned to carry that weight, but forgot to exhale.

       Both peace &. dread, simultaneously existing in the same body.

       Or, so she thought.

       It was already pretty late at night, &. Ochako was sure no one else was going to be awake at this hour. And why would they? The world ends by sunset, &. begins anew by sunrise. Besides, it was a school night! Everyone should be fast asleep right now, in their own beds, beneath the waves of their blankets, getting prepared for training &. other long-winding lectures scheduled in the morning. All the snores &. steady breathing that echoed throughout the hallway signified that there was no other living soul where she sat.

       So why, oh-why, was he in here?

       “Bakugou-kun?” There was no mistaking those heavy footsteps, always standing out as if he was deliberately making his grand entrance in the arena; she can just tell without having to turn around completely ( if the mess of blonde hair she caught from the corner of her eyes wasn`t already a stark indication of his unique presence ). The loud grunt that followed gave her enough indication that her assumption was spot-on. She can`t help but suddenly feel nervous, her hairs standing upright in shock, like she was caught in the act of doing something she was not supposed to do. “W - What are you still doing awake?” She stammered before holding her breath.
