Bakugou thinks for a moment, “After having someone to compete with you for so long, I guess it felt weird to keep going without that. And I had other shit that needed my attention, so not much time to think about the tests.” Bakugou sighs, heaviness in the space between his breath and words, “Anyway, I was just… stuck for a few years. Forgot who I was and what I wanted. Forgot the dream that I was so fucking ready to give everything up for.” 

Bakugou’s steps morph closer, crossing more into Kirishima’s space until their stepping in line with each other. Hands brush as they walk, lingering for seconds too long. Every now and then, Kirishima feels a pinky hook onto his own, and Kirishima can’t remember if they’re hooked for hours or seconds, but either way, it makes his cheeks flare red.

“So what… snapped you out of it?” Kirishima asks, trying to focus on words and not hands.
Bakugou looks to around, ensuring no one is in earshot, “If you ever tell Deku this, I will kill you on the spot.” He waits for Kirishima to give him a nod, then continues, “He sort of gave me this dumb speech about how I was staying stagnant, and it finally whipped my ass into gear to start looking into the tests again. And fuck, I forgot how expensive they were. So it was either take to the streets or get a second job. And luckily Uraraka could help me get a second job because even after all this time… I really fucking want this. And I know I’m good enough to get it.”

“Following your dreams and living without regrets…” Kirishima says, more to himself but Bakugou hums an acknowledgement. “Dude. That is so…

“Manly?” Bakugou smiles, almost a laugh.

“Noble…” Kirishima whispers, “Do you know how incredible you are Bakugou?”
The blonde stops at those words, and Kirishima follows. They stare at each other for what feels like hours, red iris’s sparkling in the moonlight.

Kirishima can see hints of pink at the tips of Bakugou’s ears and the apples of his cheeks, and the moment he realizes he’s been too focus on the hues of his face, he feels the man’s forehead pressed up against his own.

Hands slip down, grasping both of Kirishima’s, holding them tight like they might dart away.

“I don’t think you know what you’re saying, Kirishima,” Bakugou’s breath is warm and hits the redheads lips like honey. “I don’t think you know what you’re doing to me.”

Kirishima look up to meet Bakugou’s eyes, “Why don’t you show me then?”Bakugou lifts his head, bringing their noses closer. Kirishima feels his hand trace along the back of his neck, thumb pressing along the structure of his jaw. Kirishima’s breath trembles as Bakugou gets closer and closer, anticipating the taste of his lips on his tongue. 

And then he pulls back. 

“Goodnight Kirishima…” Bakugou gives his hand one more squeeze before he’s walking off into the darkness of night. 

Kirishima looks up to find himself at his apartment building–alone. Part of him wonders what the blonde meant (about anything he had said that night honestly), another part wonders if Kirishima really was just too drunk to catch it.

He sighs and walks inside to hopefully immediately crash into his bed.

Another day. He’ll try again another day.

“Thanks for coming by,” Uraraka says, giving Kirishima a hug. “You’re not walking home alone, right?”

“I got him cheeks,” Bakugou grunts before Kirishima can reply.

She gives them both a knowing look, more directed at Kirishima than anything, “Well get home safely.”

Bakugou starts walking after that, ready to go.

“Thanks for dinner,” Kirishima waves to the couple as he catches up to his friend. “That was so fun! Your friends are great!”

“I’m not telling them you said that,” Bakugou says, a slight curve in his lip.
“I really like Midoriya! It’s nice to see him outside the bar where he can just let loose a little bit.” Kirishima smiles, looking up at the stars. “It’s really cool how close you two are. And it’s nice to know someone else can tease you like I do and not die.”

“No, I let you get away with way more shit than the nerd.”

Kirishima can’t help the warm feeling that bubbles up in his stomach at that.

“And I’m only telling you that because you’re piss drunk and won’t remember in the morning.”

“I’m really not that bad!” Kirishima knocks into the blonde. “There’s been way worse. The last time I got dumped, my friends took me out and I got kicked out of like three bars for puking in their bathrooms.”

“Gross,” Bakugou laughs.
“So can I ask what’s the story with you and Midoriya?”

“What do you wanna know?”

Kirishima thinks for a second before asking, “How’d you meet?”

“Neighbors. Same schools. Our moms were annoying best friends who thought having kids the same age meant their kids would be best friends too.”

“I mean, they were right, right?”

Bakugou is silent for a minute, the sound of footsteps accented in the summer night. “I didn’t like him. For a long time. But we were always around each other. And he always followed me around. And anything I would do, he would do. Even the sommelier shit, and it pissed me off all the time.” 

“So, how are you guys close now?”
He’s quiet again, picking his words carefully, “We figured it out. Fought it out a bit actually. I figured out some of my shit. And I guess we’re good now. Friends or whatever. Realized I liked having the competition once I was over some of my own shit.”

“High honor,” Kirishima chuckles. “So Midoriya wants to be a sommelier too?”

“Not anymore. We passed the first two tests together a few years ago, and he sort of realized the bar was his dream.”

“So did you stop for Midoriya? What made you get back at it now?”

Midoriya: Please don’t say anything!

Midoriya: Are you seeing the smile on Kacchan’s face?

Chako💕 Oh I am not saying a word

Bakugou
Kirishima💪🏼: I have another question

Bakugou: Kirishima…

Kirishima💪🏼: I have to text you about this one! I swear!

Bakugou: Okay, what do you want?

Kirishima💪🏼: Are you okay with Midoriya having all these childhood pictures of you up?

Bakugou: Yeah, these ones are fine. I’m so fucking young in all of them ya know?

Bakugou: Plus the nerd wouldn’t have them up if he knew I didn’t like them. Besides, it’s not like he’s transitioned in any of them either

Bakugou: So, yeah, I don’t really give a shit
Kirishima💪🏼: Okay good! Cuz I think they’re really sweet!

Kirishima💪🏼: Obviously I like you a lot more now, but you were a pretty cute kid

Bakugou: I look like I’m going to bite someone’s head off in most of these

Kirishima💪🏼: Yeah…

Kirishima💪🏼: I like them though

Kirishima💪🏼: You look cute with braids

Bakugou: My mom forced me into them for years cus I was a monster who got my hair tangled in shit and then she’d have to fucking fix it

Bakugou: Came home once just covered in mud and she finally gave in and let me cut it short

Kirishima💪🏼: I like it better short

Bakugou: Yeah, me too

Bakugou: Whatever

Bakugou: Whats up?

Kirishima💪🏼: Midoriya asked me what kind of sake I wanted

Kirishima💪🏼: I don’t know sake AT ALL!

Kirishima💪🏼: I just told him to get me what he liked, but what if he pours me something like stupid expensive and I don’t like it and can’t finish it!

Bakugou: If you don’t like it, I’ll drink it for you

Kirishima💪🏼: You’re a life saver😭

Kirishima💪🏼: You know how I dress!

Bakugou: Kirishima, where is this going?

Kirishima💪🏼: [Picture of disaster shirt]
Bakugou: Oh that’s definitely a disaster

Kirishima💪🏼: ☹️

Bakugou: But also who fucking cares?

Bakugou: It’s not like I give a shit about what you wear. And Deku and round face absolutely don’t give care

Bakugou: It’s a shirt you obviously like so you should wear it

Bakugou: But yes, Mina is right. It’s fucking ugly

Kirishima💪🏼: Have I worn this shirt around you before?

Bakugou: Yeah? I think you wore it that first night at the bar

Kirishima💪🏼: Oh

Kirishima💪🏼: I guess I didn’t notice

Bakugou: Well, that’s why I’m here

Bakugou: Entitled fucks ruin everything

Kirishima💪🏼: I wanted to punch the wall

Kirishima💪🏼: Thank god I work at a gym and can literally hit a punching bag during my breaks

Bakugou: I’m so annoyed I wasn’t working today

Bakugou: I could’ve punched him for youKirishima💪🏼: I’m glad you weren’t there now😅

Kirishima💪🏼: It’s sweet though

Kirishima💪🏼: For you to care and stuff

Bakugou: Just tired of jerkoffs 

Kirishima💪🏼: Thanks anyway😊

Kirishima💪🏼: Well I’m excited!

Kirishima💪🏼: And we’ll hang just us again soon

Kirishima💪🏼: I know you’ve been picking up shifts like crazy, so maybe I should just come to the bar to annoy you
Bakugou: You can come if you promise not to pout when I have to help other customers

Kirishima💪🏼: Fine, but you can’t be mean to me

Bakugou: I’m never mean to you

Kirishima💪🏼: Stop lying😩

Midoriya
Midoriya: I really appreciate you agreeing to dinner! I know he probably plays cool about it, but I know Kacchan’s happy too.

Kirishima💪🏼: Of course! Thank you for inviting me!

Midoriya: It’s just so nice to see him getting close to someone. I think you make him really happy Kirishima.

Kirishima💪🏼: That means a lot to me

Kirishima💪🏼: I want him to be happy. Like more than anything, I just want him to be happy
Midoriya: He deserves to finally be happy

Midoriya: It’s not my place to tell you his…

Midoriya: Everything

Midoriya: But he hasn’t let himself be happy for a very long time. He’s got his demons like everyone does. So please be patient with him. 

Midoriya: He’s really really great under all that anger

Kirishima💪🏼: Yeah, I know

Kirishima💪🏼: I think that’s why I like him so much

Midoriya: That’s so nice to hear

Midoriya: Anyway! See you in a few weeks! We’re making Donburi!

Kirishima💪🏼: It’s very cute!

Kirishima💪🏼: And very manly that they invited me over
Bakugou: It’s annoying is what it is

Bakugou: I don’t know why they care so much

Kirishima💪🏼: Well…

Kirishima💪🏼: They might have mentioned that they knew about my feelings I guess

Bakugou:...

Bakugou: I’m going to fucking kill them!

Kirishima💪🏼: Please don’t!

Kirishima💪🏼: Wait

Kirishima💪🏼: Bakugou told you all that?

Midoriya: Of course! He cares about you! He doesn’t want to mess this up

Kirishima💪🏼: Well… I care about him too

Kirishima💪🏼: Soooo

Kirishima💪🏼: Was this all just to confirm how I feel or something?

Uraraka: Izuku…

Midoriya: Oh right! Sorry sorry sorry

Midoriya: We were wondering if you’d want to come over to our house for dinner in a few weeks. Kacchan agreed to let us invite you as long as we weren’t pushy or anything.

Uraraka: I think his exact words were “Better not pull any of that emotional shit like you do on me. He’s actually going to feel bad if you try that on him.”Uraraka: Even when he’s being nice, it sounds like a threat…

Kirishima💪🏼: That’s really really sweet you guys!

Kirishima💪🏼: I would love to come over for dinner!

Kirishima💪🏼: Thank you for the invite! I’m so excited!

Uraraka: Awesome! We’ll send details once we can align schedules a little bit.

Uraraka: Oh and Todoroki, you’re welcome to come as well.

Todoroki: That is very kind, but I think I will be busy with another commitment

Todoroki: Hopefully

Uraraka: 👀

Midoriya: 👀

Kirishima💪🏼: 👀

Kacchan’s Matchmakers
Midoriya: KIRISHIMA

Midoriya: Do you like kacchan?!?!?

Uraraka: I SWEAR I didn’t tell him Kiri!

Uraraka: But he did request for your number😭

Uraraka: I had no clue this is what he’d do with it?

Midoriya: I KNEW there was something between you two!

Midoriya: I knew it I knew I knew it!

Kirishima💪🏼: Woah!

Kirishima💪🏼: Uh… Hi guys😅

Kirishima💪🏼: Why…

Kirishima💪🏼: Why is Todoroki here?

Todoroki: Because I am Bakugou’s best friendKirishima💪🏼: Right…

Kirishima💪🏼: Um… yeah, I like Bakugou

Kirishima💪🏼: That isn’t like. A problem is it?

Uraraka: No!

Midoriya: Never!

Midoriya: Like the exact opposite of a problem

Kirishima💪🏼: Oh well! That’s good! 

Kirishima💪🏼: This is a bit…

Kirishima💪🏼: intimidating

Todoroki: Understandable

Kirishima💪🏼: So if Uraraka didn’t tell you, how’d you find out?
Midoriya: Well I’ve had my suspicions for a little while now. It’s very rare that Kacchan mentions anyone else besides the three of us to me and even more rare that he invites people over to the bar.
 
Midoriya: And yes, of course I was hoping there was something more between you guys, but I didn’t want to pry either. It’s not my place, and Kacchan would probably throttle me if I had intervened earlier. 

Uraraka: Honey

Midoriya: But Kacchan had maybe mentioned to me the other day that you and him had a talk about something and I jokingly was like “because you liiiike him?” and then he got weirdly silent and I made him tell me everything

Todoroki: Midoriya

Midoriya: He probably didn’t tell me everything honestly. You know how Kacchan is…

Midoriya: But I know that you told him you like him😆

Summary:

Kaminari has completely come to terms with the fact that Kirishima and Mina are dating. Sure, they don’t act like a typical couple. Sure, they seem to be in love with other people. Sure, they’ve never kissed in front of him, but he’s accepted it all by now. So when he hears some risqué activities happening in two separate rooms with two separate people, he’s a bit… distraught.

“That’s… Are you sure?”

“Positive,” Kirishima smiles. He knows Bakugou can’t see it, but he means it nonetheless. 

“Thanks Shitty Hair,” And although Kirishima can’t see it, he can hear the smile on Bakugou’s lips too.

“So you wanna talk about going over to your parents?”

Bakugou groans, “Fucking hag needed help building this fucking bookshelf she bought, and since it was my day off, she thought it was perfect timing to go down and visit.”

Kirishima laughs, “Did you at least get it done?”

“Yes! It’s fucking infuriating ‘cause my old man easily could’ve done it after work, but no, she had to bother me to do it because it was so fucking urgent.”

“Sounds like maybe she just wanted an excuse to see you, man.”“She wanted an excuse to nag and pry at my life and pretend it could all be made better with shitty food,” Bakugou’s words are harsh, but Kirishima can tell he doesn’t mean it. Something tells him that maybe the blonde’s whole ‘actions speak louder than words’ thing might’ve been an inherited trait.

“Yeah because shitty food your mom makes is so much better than shitty food you make at home?” Kirishima teases because he knows he can get a reaction.

“Fuck you! My cooking is way better than my moms, asshole!”

“Dude, you’re so cute,” Kirishima says, before realizing what he’s said, “Oh shit. Sorry, I shouldn’t say that kind of stuff. I’m sure-”

“No no, it’s okay,” Bakugou interrupts, “You can- You can say it if you want. You’re not making me uncomfortable or whatever.”“So you’re okay with… whatever this is.”

“I’m okay with- whatever this is,” He says, soft and tender. “As long as you’re okay.”

“Yeah,” Kirishima’s cheeks heat, “I’m okay.”

“Good,” There’s a warmth in Bakugou’s voice.

And Kirishima can’t help but match it, finding something buzzing in the core of his heart, “Yeah. Good.”

They talk more. About whatever their minds can come up with. They talk so long, Kirishima finds himself lulled, closing his eyes as he hears the sounds of tires racing off in the distance.

Kirishima stares at the light illuminating from his phone. He bites his lip as he waits, hoping it wasn’t just his imagination.

The screen suddenly flashes and vibrates with Bakugou’s name and profile picture. Thank god for phone syncing, or else he would never have that pretty picture of Bakugou to begin with. 

He answers, “Hey..”

There’s a breath before Bakugou speaks, “Hey.”

They sit in silence for a minute, Kirishima staring at the sliver of light peeking through the curtains of his dark room. He hears a few honks over the phone and finally decides to break the silence. “Are you driving right now?”

“Yeah, I… um… My mom was hounding me to come over, but I really wanted to talk to you today, and by the time I would’ve gotten home it would’ve been too late, so I figured I’d call now while I still...” Bakugou mulls over his words for a moment. “While you’re still awake,” he says instead.
“That’s okay man. I can talk.”

“Good. Um… and sorry. For not talking about this shit for so long. I wasn’t trying to… I just needed… I didn’t mean to- Fuck… um.”

“Dude,” Kirishima smiles into the phone, “It’s cool. We’re good.”

“...Good,” Bakugou sighs, pausing his words again. 

“So…”

“So…” Bakugou says at the same time. They both chuckle a little bit. The air is thick, but not heavy. It finally feels like they can talk. “So, you like me.”

“Yes.”

“Romantically.”

“Yeah.”“Okay… I’m honestly shit with feelings. And I know that’s kind of a fucked up thing to say, but I am. And I just don’t know how I feel. Because I do like you, Kirishima, but I just don’t know what I want or what that means yet.”

Kirishima’s eyebrows scrunch, “But you like me?”

“I do. Like… I… I don’t think I’ve ever gotten this fucking close with someone so fast. It’d be stupid to pretend you’re not important to me.”

His heart flutters, “You’re important to me too, man.”

“So… I… fuck… I don’t really know what I want, but I don’t want us to not be good I guess.”

“I don’t want that either,” Kirishima bites the inside of his cheek, “You don’t have to know right now. We can just take it one day at a time. I’m good just doing what we have been doing, and if you want more, that’s great, and if you don’t, that’s fine, man. I can wait for you.”

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Hey any update Kiri?

Kirishima💪🏼: Mmm… not really

Kirishima💪🏼: Our shifts haven’t really lined up well

Kirishima💪🏼: I caught him for a second a few days ago and he just waved at me, but we didn’t talk or anything

Kirishima💪🏼: And I don’t want to be like pushy about it and it’s probably better to just wait for him to come to me since I already put my feelings out there, but this is killing me…

Sero ✌🏽: He’s probably busy

Kaminari⚡️⚡️: Okay, but too busy to at least check in with Kiri?

Sero ✌🏽: Not helping Kami
Kaminari⚡️⚡️: Sorry Sorry!

Kaminari⚡️⚡️: I just hate seeing him so down…

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Do you need us to come over with some ice cream Kiri?

Kirishima💪🏼: I don’t know yet

Kirishima💪🏼: Maybe I’m still just in denial

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: And that’s completely okay honey

Kirishima💪🏼: I TOLD BAKUGOU I LIKED HIM!!

Sero ✌🏽: WHAT?!?!?

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Well you’re alive so does that mean he kissed you?

Kaminari⚡️⚡️: You like Bakugou?

Kirishima💪🏼: It was an accident!

Kirishima💪🏼: Fuck I didn’t mean to say it!

Kirishima💪🏼: But then I said it and now

Kirishima💪🏼: Shit

Sero ✌🏽: Kiri

Sero ✌🏽: You need to tell us EXACTLY what happened

Sero ✌🏽: What exactly did you say and what exactly did Bakugou say

Kirishima💪🏼: Yeah, okay

Kirishima💪🏼: Fuck, so I was hanging by the cafe on my break, and me and Bakugou were talking. And I had asked him about something a few days ago, so he was showing me something to do with that. And he was smiling and laughing, and he just looked so relaxed and happy, and I accidentally just said “Dude I like you so much”

Kirishima💪🏼: And then he kinda just stared at me. And not like a bad stare, just shocked I guess. And he asked me to say it again, so I was like “I… um like you. Like a lot man. Like romantically.” And he kinda just blinked at me for a minute.

Kirishima💪🏼: And then of course, cus the universe hates me, his phone started ringing and he told me that we can talk later. So I left him alone cuz he was obviously busy and we still haven’t talked bc I’ve been busy and he’s been busy and I just feel like I just got rejected
Kaminari⚡️⚡️: Phew…

Kaminari⚡️⚡️: That’s a lot man

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Kiri I’m so sorry

Sero ✌🏽: Wait, so he didn’t actually reject you?

Kirishima💪🏼: Technically no

Kirishima💪🏼: But if he liked me back, I’d assume he’d be… like, excited that I told him I liked him?

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: He might’ve just not processed it to be honest

Kaminari⚡️⚡️: Or maybe he doesn’t know how he feels yet

Sero ✌🏽: I think Bakugou seems like someone who would need some time to think on this stuff

Sero ✌🏽: Maybe focus on the fact that he didn’t say no
Kaminari⚡️⚡️: Yeah man, you really haven’t been rejected even if it sort of feels like it

Kirishima💪🏼: I just want to still be his friend even if he does reject me

Sero ✌🏽: He definitely values you as a friend, man

Sero ✌🏽: Trust me on that

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Give him some time babe! And if it ends up falling though, we’ll be here to catch you

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: We love you!

Kirishima💪🏼: Okay

Kirishima💪🏼: Thank you guys

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: What do you want🫩

Kirishima💪🏼: I was running late to work today and I got to the front desk to find this!

[picture of coffee]
Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Someone left their coffee on the desk?

Kirishima💪🏼: NO!

Kirishima💪🏼: It’s a freshly made iced lavender latte from Bakugou!

Kirishima💪🏼: He even left me a note!

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: No

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Way

Kirishima💪🏼: WAY!

Kirishima💪🏼: Don’t be late again. Dunce face tried to talk to me before you got here. -B

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: That’s so sweet! 

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: I think… 

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: In his own Bakugou way
Kirishima💪🏼: Definitely sweet!

Kirishima💪🏼: Mina, I don’t know what to do

Kirishima💪🏼: I like him soooo much!

Kirishima💪🏼: Every time we talk or text, all of my feelings just get stronger!

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Maybe you should tell him?

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Like ask him out?

Kirishima💪🏼: I don’t want to make him feel weird or something

Kirishima💪🏼: Or uncomfortable

Kirishima💪🏼: I really like talking to him

Kirishima💪🏼: I don’t want to mess that up
Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Do you think he’d say no?

Kirishima💪🏼: Honestly, I never know with Bakugou

Kirishima💪🏼: He could kiss me on the spot or try to murder me with a barbell weight

Kirishima💪🏼: I just don’t know

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: I think you might have better chances than you think

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: But I also don’t know him as well as you do

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: I guess, just know I’m in your corner no matter what

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: But it might be nice to just get these feelings off your chest

Mina💕💗♥️💓💘💝: Food for thought

Kirishima💪🏼: Hey can I ask you something?

Bakugou: Sure?

Kirishima💪🏼: Okay, so I was maybe texting Uraraka the other day, and I was just wondering some stuff about you, and I didn’t really mean to snoop, I just wanted to learn more about you, and she told me you were trying to save up for a sommelier exam. 

Kirishima💪🏼: And, honestly, I did not know what that was, so I had to do some research. But it sounds really fucking cool! And like. Since we’re friends, I wanted to ask 

Kirishima💪🏼: like…

Kirishima💪🏼: Why do you want to do that?

Kirishima💪🏼: …

Kirishima💪🏼: You know what?

Kirishima💪🏼: That was actually probably overstepping. You don’t need to explain your choices. I just think it’s cool, but if it’s like personal or something, it’s not a big deal
Bakugou: Oh my god, Kirishima

Bakugou: Stop freaking out so I can tell you

Bakugou: I’m not as fast as a typer as you are

Kirishima💪🏼: Oh right!

Kirishima💪🏼: Sorry!

Bakugou: I’ve just always wanted to be the best at what I do. And I fucking love creating tastes and smells and aromas and giving people a fucking unique experience. And I’m fucking good at it too.

Bakugou: And I feel like I’ve been stuck at fucking One For All for forever.

Bakugou: And I don’t know

Bakugou: I guess some things have settled a little bit and, maybe Izuku got on my ass a little bit about trying for the tests again. But the more you do, the more expensive they get. So it was either take to the streets or get a second job. And luckily Uraraka could help me get a second job.
Kirishima💪🏼: That is

Kirishima💪🏼: So manly dude

Kirishima💪🏼: Wow! You’re really something man

Bakugou: I just want to be the best. And the best are Master Sommeliers

Kirishima💪🏼: I’m rooting for you

Kirishima💪🏼: You’re so dedicated 

Kirishima💪🏼: I can’t think of anyone more deserving 

Bakugou: Thanks

Bakugou: I’m fucking tired of plain face and half and half dancing around each other

Bakugou: What is their deal?

Bakugou: They’re both stupid obvious about how they feel, what the fuck is wrong with them?

Kirishima💪🏼: Dude, I know!

Kirishima💪🏼: I don’t talk much with Todoroki, but Sero is so into him, it’s insane!

Kirishima💪🏼: That’s why we were at One For All that first time actually

Kirishima💪🏼: Sero needed to blow off some steam about Todoroki
Bakugou: Oh I know

Bakugou: Asshole vents to me when he’s not with you

Kirishima💪🏼: No way?!? Really?

Bakugou: Yeah

Bakugou: And he’s got it bad.

Bakugou: But it’s not like half and half is any better

Bakugou: Actually he’s way more annoying

Kirishima💪🏼: Bro? How are you close with Todoroki? 

Kirishima💪🏼: You’ve been here for like a month!
Bakugou: We are not close. He just enjoys bothering me

Bakugou: Deku, Round face, and him are all friends. They like do brunch and shit every couple of weeks. He comes to the bar sometimes to talk to Deku and ends up just bitching at me 90% of the time. 

Bakugou: Fucker keeps saying we’re friends

Kirishima💪🏼: It sounds like you are friends

Bakugou: We are not friends

Kirishima💪🏼: Friends talk to each other about their crushes!
Bakugou: Shut up or else I’m going to stop telling people we’re friends and just say your some leech that won’t stop following me

Kirishima💪🏼: WAIT

Kirishima💪🏼: You tell people we’re FRIENDS??!?

Kirishima💪🏼: Like FRIENDS friends!?

Kirishima💪🏼: Dude!!! I’m going to cry!!!

Bakugou: Fuck off

Bakugou: I’m not worried about Sero, I’m worried about idiots 1 and 2

Kirishima💪🏼: They will be suuuper well behaved!
Bakugou: They better because Izuku will be there tomorrow, and he fucking owns the bar

Kirishima💪🏼: Wait…

Kirishima💪🏼: Like Uraraka’s Izuku, right?

Kirishima💪🏼: That’s the same person?

Bakugou: Yeah, same muttering nerd

Kirishima💪🏼: Oh that’s so exciting! I can’t wait to meet him!

Bakugou: Don’t be. Camie’s been talking you up and he might just give you a sign and tell you to stand outside and flirt with strangers

Kirishima💪🏼: That is sweet…

Kirishima💪🏼: But I do not want to do that😂

Bakugou: Did you give your number to other bartenders last night?

Kirishima💪🏼: Nope! Just the angry, blonde one

Bakugou: Then you have your fucking answer

Kirishima💪🏼: So can I ask why you texted me in the middle of the night?

Bakugou: I’m a bartender, shitty hair… 

Bakugou: How late do you think bars stay open?

Bakugou: They don’t close just cause your early ass isn’t in them
Kirishima💪🏼: Okay, first off! I am usually a late night bar goer, but I have to be at the gym at open!

Kirishima💪🏼: And second off, I did completely forget that you probably had a late night😅

Kirishima💪🏼: So why aren’t you asleep?

Bakugou: Cause some nosy red head keeps bothering me about friendship or something

Kirishima💪🏼: Oh shoot! Did I wake you up?

Bakugou: No, I was awake.

Bakugou: Just couldn’t sleep

Kirishima💪🏼: Oh no☹️
Bakugou: Yeah, well what can you do

Kirishima💪🏼: It’s dumb, but the warm glass of milk trick actually helps for me

Bakugou: yeah maybe I’ll try it

Kirishima💪🏼: You work today? 

Bakugou: Luckily no

Kirishima💪🏼: Good

Kirishima💪🏼: I mean, it’d be cool to say hi

Kirishima💪🏼: But hopefully you can sleep

Bakugou: Yeah
Kirishima💪🏼: Well I gotta get ready for work, but let me know if you need anything😊

Bakugou: Yep

Bakugou: And Camie says you should come by the bar more

Bakugou: Says you’ll attract more customers or some shit

Kirishima💪🏼: I would love to come by more!

Kirishima💪🏼: Maybe I’ll do a proper late night this weekend😉

Bakugou: Don’t expect free shit. I don’t do that

Kirishima💪🏼: I would never

Kirishima💪🏼: How would you know?

Sero ✌🏽: From what I’ve seen, he’s pretty honest

Sero ✌🏽: I think if he had a problem with you, he’d tell ya

Sero ✌🏽: I saw him run a customer out of the bar once because he apparently worked with Camie at some point and was a creep to her.

Sero ✌🏽: If he’s still having flirty banter with you, I don’t think you need to worry too much yet
Kirishima💪🏼: I wouldn’t say it was flirty

“Sure,” Bakugou turns to him, “What kind of alcohol you like Red?”

“Uh… I like… shochu?”

He thinks. “You like spice in your drinks?”

Kirishima smiles, “Yeah, I love a good spicy drink!”

“Okay, give me a second,” Bakugou goes off to the liquor and starts pouring two concoctions with mesmerizing ease.

As they watch, Kirishima feels a nudge at his legs and looks to see Sero staring at him. He gives him a look, eyes flickering from him to Bakugou, and raises an eyebrow. Kirishima nods, and Sero understands.

“Welp, I’ll be right back. I need to piss.” And then Sero is gone, and it’s just Kirishima and Bakugou.The blonde sets the drinks down in front of Kirishima, and waits as Kirishima tries his. It’s a mango spice drink mixed with shochu, topped with a jalapeno slice and rimmed with tajin salt.

He takes a drink, “Holy fuck, that’s so good!”

Bakugou smirks–he fucking smirks. “I know. Closing out?”

“Yeah, I’ve got an early shift tomorrow.” Bakugou moves to press a few buttons on the register and Kirishima chews on his lip. “Hey, I’m sorry for bothering you earlier today.”

Bakugou raises an eyebrow, “You weren’t bothering me. When did I say you were bothering me?”

“N-no, I just assumed since you were busy and you asked me why I kept talking to you.”

“I asked because I was wondering why you keep talking to me,” he says bluntly.“Oh…” Kirishima thinks for a minute, “Well, I think you seem cool dude. And I… wanna get to know and be your friend and stuff.”

“Okay.”

Okay, what does okay mean?

Bakugou slides the check over to Kirishima, and there’s intention in the motion. Their eyes connect for seconds too long, like Bakugou is daring Kirishima to take a step forward. He leaves to chat with the other customers. Sero comes back, and starts sipping on his drink and just before they leave, Kirishima decides to be brave.

On the bottom of the receipt, he leaves a message:

If you ever need me to make you that coffee, let me know ;) xxx-xxx-xxxx

Kirishima and Sero arrive and are eagerly greeted by a giggling girl with long, dark blonde hair and puckered lips. She welcomes them in and is happy to get them situated. She seems to recognize Sero and decides they both should get a beer on the house. 

She laughs at their protests and says, “It’s like totally cool guys! This is a new drink anyway, so we need taste testers like, pronto!”

She gives them the drinks, and leaves them for a moment to themselves. 

The bar they’re in is a small snack bar, narrow like an alley way. There’s one other couple on the other side, some soft music playing above them, one bartender (the girl who welcomed them).
“So why’d you need to go out?” Kirishima starts off.

“It’s Todoroki,” Sero slumps, “Dude, it’s bad. I like him so much, but I genuinely can’t tell what’s going on in his head. Some days, I think he’s receptive to my flirting and other days, I feel like I’m being creepy.”

“And I’m guessing today was…?”

“Yep. We somehow got on the topic of sleep, and I said ‘I bet you look pretty cute when you sleep,’ and he asked how he would know if he actually is, since he’s asleep.”

“Well, if it helps, I also made a fool of myself in front of my crush today. Told me I was bothering him and to leave him alone.” Kirishima pouts

“To being lovesick fools,” Sero says, lifting his glass and clinking with Kirishima as they down their drinks in one go. “You idiots actually going to buy anything now that you're finished with the free shit?” A deep familiar interrupts

Kirishima looks up to see Bakugou behind the bar. “Wh- What happened to-”

“Camie isn’t the only one who works here dumbass.” 

“Oh, hey Bakugou,” Sero says, interrupting Kirishima’s internal screaming. “This is my friend Kirishima.”

“Yeah, I know him.”

“Oh, you do?”

“Bakugou got that barista job at the gym.”

“Oh, sweet. Well can I get the usual, and can you make Kirishima one of your cool surprises? I wanted him to get a taste of your drinks first hand.”

K: Oh yeah, the trans guy bar? I'm down

S: Nono, there's a place called One For All and it's a similar vibe to Mock, but it's newer, and it's full trans staff instead of just trans men, and there's a bartender there who is a WIZARD with drinks! It's crazy! I think you'd like him!

M: Calm down!

M: What happened?

K: I went up to talk to him. I wanted to ask him about something Uraraka told me, but he immediately asked me why I keep talking to him. I didn’t know what to say, and he kinda just sho’d me off by telling me he was busy…

M: Oh… yeah that’s bad

K: I feel bad. I should’ve known I was being annoying.

K: So… I heard you helped Bakugou get the barista job. I was just wondering how you guys know each other?

U: Oh yeah! He’s actually my boyfriends friend first, but we’re pretty close too. Anyway, he’s trying to afford to take the next sommelier exam and needed a second job, so I told him about this one and maybe talked him up to Iida and momo😅

U: I know he seems rough around the edges, but he’s actually really nice when he isn’t being a piece of shit.

K: Oh…

K: That’s like, so manly!

K: Um… stupid question, but what is a sommelierU: It’s like someone who’s really good around alcohol. Like, knows what pairs best with what and can recommend good stuff even with vague preferences. Bakugou’s already passed 2 tests, and there are 4 tests in total and apparently passing all 4 is SUPER rare!

U: At least, that’s how Izuku tried to explain it to me

K: That is so cool

U: Why do you ask?

K: Oh… uh no reason

K: Just wondering I guessU: Interesting

U: Well, not that you asked, but

U: He’s single

U: And gay

U: Just in case that info is helpful

K: Am I that obvious?

U: Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone😉

M/K
K: Okay, so I have more data!

K: His name is Bakugou!

M: Is that all? I already knew that Kiri😭I’ve seen his name tag!

K: Was I the only one who didn’t see that?

M: Sounds like you were just lost in his eyes

K: I mean… maybe

M: Okay, so what happened?

K: So I wanted a coffee, so I just asked for a lavender iced latte, and at first I sort of thought he just didn’t remember me cause he didn’t seem like he did, so I was like, it’s under Kirishima by the way. And then he grabbed my receipt and said, I remember who you are Shitty Hair. Would be pretty hard to forgetM: OMG

K: I KNOW! But then I was like, oh that’s cool. I didn’t catch your name when I saw you last. And he was like, Well I didn’t throw it. So I laughed and said, I guess I have no choice but to just call you blasty.

M: Kiri!

K: And then he told me to shut the fuck up and it was kinda hot and scary at the same time. And he gave me my drink and pointed to his nametag (which I stupidly forgot existed) and it threw me off guard cuz I didn’t think he’d actually tell me, so I just said thanks… And then I just stood there. In SILENCE. For like 30 seconds!K: I’m so embarrassed!

M: Hmmm… I’m gonna be honest Kiri. I do not think he’s straight.

K: Even if he isn’t, he’d probably taken

M: Well Uraraka got him the job…

M: Might be worth an ask?

K: I don’t think I’m that desperate quite yet Mina

M/K an hour later
M: Earth to Kirishima! 

M: It’s been like an hour! You HAVE to tell me how it went!

K: Bad… I think? I don’t know

M: What happened?

K: I went up and introduced myself, told him I work front desk and if he needs anything let me know. And he was like

K: Okay if I need you to make a large iced americano with 5 shots decaf and almond milk, I’ll let you know

K: And I was like, well I worked as a barista for a year, so if you really needed me to I would, but I have a feeling your just being difficult

M: You SAID that!K: Not my finest moment!

K: But anyway, he kinda had a double take and leaned back and went, Okay Shitty Hair, maybe I’ll put that to the test. And I kind of got embarrassed and tried to tell him how his hair’s pretty similar to mine, but then someone came up to order something😭 So I just left

M: Honey…

M: He was totally flirting with you

K: But my hair☹️

K:...

K: You really think that’s what’s going on?

M: I think you should try talking to him again at some point. Maybe not today, but you definitely need more data.

K: This is already exhausting…

M: Most things worth doing are😉
