Ochako loved music, and so did Katsuki. Unlike him, however, she had a tendency to hop from one genre to another. One moment, she is obsessed with classical hits. The next thing he knows, her current playlist playing on repeat is filled with mumble rap.

There was no telling what she was listening to and what she would consume next. She had no timeframe for each musical phase she was in, but Katsuki knew she would give her heart and soul to showing support to the artists she loved at the moment.

One time, Katsuki got home to his girlfriend lying in bed, seemingly spaced out yet there were tears streaming down her face. His initial reaction was to ask her what’s wrong, only to sigh in disbelief when she tells him how emotional she feels because of indie folk music.

Nothing should ever surprise him anymore. They’ve been together for years, so he could easily claim that he’s seen it all.

Almost all of it.

He asked the agency if he could take the afternoon off if only to help Ochako with the preparations needed today. It was her day off, which was perfect timing. His parents were set to go to France for a month-long fashion event,

and the old hag insisted that they had dinner together before they left. Ochako, who loved his parents dearly like her own, agreed. She was thrilled to be spending time with his folks, thus, he had no other choice but to help her out, even if it was against his will.

Even from afar, he could already hear the loud bass that was coming from the house he shared with his girlfriend. Oh cool, she was in her 𝑛𝑒𝑤𝑙𝑦-𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑎 𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑡𝑦𝑝𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑐 stage,

wherein she blasts every song of the current genre of choice as loud as she can.

When he unlocked the door, the sight of his girlfriend just made him chuckle.

She was oblivious to her surroundings, thanks mostly to the loud music blaring in their household. Ochako was in the middle of their living room, shaking her hips and waving her arms high in the air to the beat of the current song playing.

Her eyes were closed, totally in the zone.

He waited for the song to reach its end before he announced his presence.

“I guess you’re back to pop.”

“Katsuki! You scared me!” She gasped at the sudden (not really) intrusion. “Welcome home, by the way.”

“I’m back.” He took off his shoes, before approaching her and embracing her. His body melted into hers, all the fatigue from the day immediately disappearing.

“It’s not just pop, by the way.” She tried to explain, even when her voice was muffled against his chest. “It’s k-pop.”

𝑂ℎ. 𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡.

“Cool.” He didn’t need her to explain it further to him. Katsuki was already well aware of it.

“I really like this group in particular.” She said. “They’re really popular worldwide right now. Look, Mina even got me their lightstick since she also happened to be a fan!”

Ochako excitedly waved what looked like a magical girl wand and tried not to get nauseated with the blinking lights.

“That’s nice, Cheeks.” He nodded his head. “Have you started with meal prep?”

“Not yet.” She cheekily answered. Her eyes grew wide when the next song on her playlist started playing. “Oh! I love this song, and I know you will too! Dance with me, Katsuki!”

Ochako pulled on his hands so they were back to the middle of the room.

It wasn’t like someone was watching and would care if they didn’t, he scoffed, but he let himself be dragged anyway. She took hold of both his hands and started waving them in sync to the music, just like how she danced earlier

Her whole body was basically moving to the rhythm. Meanwhile, he just stood still, minus the random hand movements he was doing care of Ochako.

“C’mon, move your hips a little!” She shouted over the music, and with the minimal distance between them, he could hear her clearly.

Ochako looked expectedly at him, and even with the bopping she was doing, he took notice of how her sudden frown was becoming out of place.

He sighed. She should feel extremely lucky he was terribly in love with her.

Slowly, he moved his hips. It was just a small motion of his body, but knowing that in his own way, he was obliging her request. Her bright smile returned to her lips, and he felt his heart flutter at the beautiful sight.

If that was his reward for a tiny bit of embarrassment he would feel in the privacy of their home, then he would gladly endure.

It was just an added bonus that the song was 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑓 growing on him.

Ochako was still laughing when the song was finally over, and he couldn’t stop himself from smiling.

“Wow.” He felt a shudder run through his spine at the sudden voice of his old hag. “Never thought you’d get your hero name from a pop song, son.”

Katsuki froze on the spot and heaved a deep breath when Ochako burst into raucous laughter. So that’s why she said he’d probably love it.

Just like he thought of earlier, he will endure everything, but damn it, he really needs to make sure that door was locked at all times.
