a numbers game

Fandom: BNHA

Pairing: Kiribaku

(AO3)

Bakugou knows his personality and general rage-filled disposition towards everything, in general, isn’t winning him any favours, but the texts have made him contemplate just how shitty he must’ve been in a past life to deserve a fate like this.

Because no one - and Bakugou knows such assholes as Monoma - but no one deserves to be on the receiving end of unsolicited dick pics. From random numbers. At all times of the day. For the last 3ish months.

“I am going to throw my phone out the fucking window, I swear on all that is good and pure, fucking bull-“

“More dick pics?” Camie interrupts with a wide grin, plucking the phone out of Bakugou’s hand.

“What the fuck else?” Bakugou snaps, trying to pull his phone back in vain. Camie holds it just out of reach, eyeing the disgusting penis with a critical stare.

"Hmm,” she says, passing the phone back to him before taking a sip of her terrible grass juice that smells like a badly mowed golf course, “the lighting is bad and he hasn’t done like, any grooming at all. 3/10.”

“You’re being generous,” Bakugou huffs, deleting the picture immediately and swallowing the still raging urge to fling his phone at the nearest wall. “It’s unsolicited. And his fingernails are fucking filthy. -100/10.”

Camie rolls her eyes. “You’re being dramatic again Kitkat.”

Bakugou counts to 10 in his head, tries to find that last shred of patience he knows is somewhere deep in his dark pit of a soul and breathes out in a rush.

“I need to fucking figure this out before I actually lose it and track down one of these fuckers and choke the life out of them.”

Because here’s the thing- Bakugou has been receiving dick pics and dirty text messages like hi bby want sex? and imma dick you down gud boo – he’s positively swooning, what a lovely way to be wooed – and he has no idea how to stop it. Yes, he could cancel his number and get a new one, but all of his bank details are linked to this one. He’s had it since he first got a phone in middle school, and now all of his documents are attached to the damn thing. The very idea of going to the banks and the DMV and every other stupid establishment to get it changed makes him grimace hard enough that he decides to bear with it.

Except, every time he receives one of these horrible pictures, his urge to blow up the phone, nay, the entire world, simmers at dangerous levels.

“Cool it kitkat,” Camie croons, giving his forearm a squeeze, “you’re making your homicidal face. That cannot be good for wrinkles.”

“Like I give a fuck,” Bakugou grunts, flinging his phone away carelessly and watching it skitter around on the kitchen counter before halting dangerously close to the edge. “I just want it to stop.”

Camie puts her atrocity for a drink down and pulls the fridge open, rummaging around as she says, “I have a theory about all this.” She pulls out a jar of jalapenos and places it in front of Bakugou. The blonde yanks a fork out of the admittedly cute utensil bucket in the middle of their counter before snapping the lid off and spearing a good 3 pieces in one go. He chews on them slowly and directs a raised brow at Camie.

“Well,” she muses, picking her drink back up, “as a woman that receives a LOT of numbers from guys and gals and non-binary folks alike-“ Bakugou makes it a point to roll his eyes hard enough to knock his head back; Camie’s laughter is loud and boisterous “- I have a tactic for when I don’t know how to say no and don’t want to give my digits.”

Bakugou has another forkful of jalapenos in his mouth when he narrows his eyes at her.

Camie shrugs, “I usually change the very last digit of my number. Works like a charm. I never meet the person again, and they can’t contact me. Win-win.”

“Win-win my ass,” Bakugou seethes. “Do I look like I’m winning right now? I am this fucking close to killing someone, because of stupid tactics like yours.”

Camie finishes the last of her drink, and speaks around her straw, “You say that, but do you know how many people, and especially dudes, don’t take no for an answer? The only reason I give out any digits at all is when I can’t guarantee my safety. I know it’s not like, the perfect solution or anything, but I’m giving you facts right now.”

And Bakugou does, in fact, know that. He’s met those pushy assholes- people that don’t back down, people that don’t take no at face value, people that push and prod and get up in his space. It pisses him off to absolutely no end.

“Whatever,” he concedes. He spears another forkful of jalapenos before grumbling, “So, what the fuck do I do?”

Camie grins, minx like. “Why don’t you text the number one ahead and one behind your own and ask? I mean, in the best-case scenario you figure it out and get it all to stop, in the worst case, you get to yell at like random people. Isn’t that your second favourite pastime, right after yelling at that pigeon outside our balcony, the one with an agenda?”

“Don’t talk about that fucking pigeon,” Bakugou fumes, “fucking piece of shit bird and those dark, robotic eyes. Something is up with that; you can’t convince me otherwise.” He mulls over the rest of her suggestion before relenting, “Well, I guess I could spare a moment to yell at the fucking extras giving out my number to perverts with no manners and gross penises.”

“I find it so funny when you say the word manners,” Camie says as she walks to her room, “It’s almost like you know what it means!”

She isn’t even looking at him, but she manages to dodge the jalapeno that sails at her head. It hits the wall with a sick squelch, and when Bakugou hears Camie’s door shut, he drops his head on the counter with a loud, resounding thunk and muffles a scream into the marble.

He forgets to send out those texts, and when he receives yet another picture, not three days later, of someone holding their disgusting penis in their hand, like it’s an accomplishment or some shit, he sends out a text message to two different numbers typed with shaky, sweaty fingers.

>> xxx-xxx-xxx6 , xxx-xxx-xxx4

I don’t know who the fuck you are, and you don’t know me, but it’s possible that one of you assholes gives out my number to random people who, in turn, send me fucking dick pics. It’s been over 3 fucking months, so knock it the actual fuck off. And in case it isn’t you, fuck you anyway.

Bakugou wakes up from a restless sleep to sunlight sloping in through the blinds of his room, a dry mouth, and three new text messages from an unknown number.

Because his brain takes time to boot up in the mornings, he foregoes the phone entirely and makes his way to the kitchen in search of caffeine. Camie is always up before him, and he gratefully pours himself a mug of her insanely strong black coffee, the kind to palpitate your heart and make you vibrate in your seat. She calls it jet fuel, Inasa calls it death, Todoroki just blinks.

When he’s half a mug down, he finally retrieves his phone from his room and takes a seat in the balcony, surrounded by plants of all kinds. The sun is bright but not harsh, and he takes a second to enjoy it before opening his messages.

He doesn’t even recall sending the messages last night, and for a moment he’s enraged at the idea that someone sent him even more dick pics, but there’s no photos waiting for him, just three messages.

xxx-xxx-xxx4 omg omg OMG I didn’t think anyone actually used this number im sorry D:

xxx-xxx-xxx4 no really im so so sorry holy shit I was just following this idea that my friend gave me cause im terrible at turning people down but I didn’t realize they were messaging an actual other person OMG

xxx-xxx-xxx4 ofc I wont be giving your number out anymore im just so sorry bro, god, this is so damn UNMANLY of me

At least the person has the decency to sound apologetic. Not that it tempers Bakugou in any way, shape or form, but he takes note of it somewhere in the distant recesses of his mind.

Bakugou you better not give it out anymore fuckmunch. I should sue your ass for putting me under so much psychological distress.

The guy replies startlingly quickly. Bakugou opens the message with a quirked brow.

xxx-xxx-xxx4 shit can you actually do that?

Bakugou has no idea, but the key to selling anything is confidence, and he’s got enough to spare.

Bakugou try me

xxx-xxx-xxx4 IM REALLY REALLY SORRY OK TRULY D:

xxx-xxx-xxx4 and not just cuz you might sue me or anything, it was a terrible move on my part :’(

xxx-xxx-xxx4 can I make it up to you somehow??

Bakugou huffs, deflating a little. He’s angry yes, positively incensed for the most part, but the guy sounds genuinely sorry, and he’s finding it increasingly difficult to stay mad at someone that’s just being so damn decent and taking full responsibility.

Bakugou I don’t fucking know.

Bakugou just stop giving out my no.

Bakugou I swear to god if I get ONE MORE NUDE

Bakugou I will find you

xxx-xxx-xxx4 you don’t have to find me ill come to you

xxx-xxx-xxx4 cuz ill def deserve it at that point

xxx-xxx-xxx4 anyway, im sorry again. really ☹

xxx-xxx-xxx4 I gotta get some sleep, so tell me later about how I can make it up to you!!!!

xxx-xxx-xxx4 goodnight

Bakugou checks the clock at the top left corner of his phone screen. It reads 8:31am.

What the fuck does this guy do for work anyway? And does Bakugou care?

He decides no, he doesn’t, because he’s really too busy to care about anything, especially assholes that hand out his number to horny strangers because they’re too chickenshit to say no.

He nods at his own conclusion, downs the rest of his death-in-a-cup, and walks back inside, ready to start another long day of work. Bakugou gives himself an hour before he puts this all behind him, fully forgotten and finally taken care of.

Why the fuck haven’t I blocked this fucker yet, is the first thing Bakugou thinks when he gets more texts from them.

xxx-xxx-xxx4 heyyo!!!!

xxx-xxx-xxx4 did you think of anything????? How can I make it up to you??

Bakugou stop texting me, that’ll be a great start

xxx-xxx-xxx4 I will as soon as u tell me how to make it up to you!!!

Bakugou stop texting me dammit

Bakugou isn’t a naïve person, but he somehow convinces himself that this will be the end of things.

It is, predictably, not the end of things.

xxx-xxx-xxx4 I just realized I didn’t give u my name

Bakugou no

xxx-xxx-xxx4 I’ll get it out of you eventually

Bakugou try me

Bakugou fucker

If Bakugou finds himself smiling at the end of the exchange, well, that’s his business.

“So, you finally figured out who was responsible for the penis pictures?” Todoroki deadpans around his cosmo.

“That’s wonderful Bakugou!” Inasa booms, slamming his beer down on the counter with gusto. Bakugou throws a spoon at him.

“Shut it Baldy,” he grunts, going back to chopping veggies. “And yes, I did, but now this fucker won’t stop texting me, insisting on making it up to me or some shit.”

“And this is a bad thing?” Todoroki summarizes slowly. Bakugou turns around in time to see him mouth why to Inasa before taking another generous sip of his drink. Inasa shrugs his stupidly large shoulders before asking, “Why is that a bad thing?”

Bakugou throws another spoon at him. “Because, I texted them so I could stop people from texting me. Now this person’s volunteering information to me about being a bartender and shit and constantly apologizing and it’s fucking annoying.”

“You know what’s interesting?” Camie muses, stirring her bloody mary with a long ass celery stick. “You’re getting all these text messages from this bartender, and you can like, so easily block this one number and be done with it, but you like, keeping responding. And keep, you know, not blocking.”

He can’t see it, but he knows Todoroki is nodding, the fucker.

“That is a good observation!” Inasa booms again, and Bakugou has to resist the urge to fling his entire cutlery set at the man’s thick skull. “Do you like this person Bakugou?”

“What’s there to like, I don’t even fucking know him!”

“Well,” Camie starts, takes a bite out of the celery stick, continues, “he’s well-mannered. Clearly good looking, because you got a LOT of penis pictures these past three months, and that also leads us to believe the business is doing really well, if so many patrons come in begging for a number. All good things, don’t you think?”

“I hate you,” Bakugou says, stirring the curry with barely repressed rage. “I hate all of you. I hate humanity. Fuck people.”

“Or fuck this person in specific,” Camie says gleefully. “You haven’t gotten laid in like 8 months boo, you need to get some.”

“You’re the actual fucking worst.”

“In all seriousness,” Todoroki interrupts, putting his empty glass down delicately, “why haven’t you blocked the number? It seems like an easy enough solution.” The asshole has the audacity to sound genuinely curious, if not slightly amused.

Bakugou hates everything.

“I don’t, I don’t fucking know, ok?” He finally admits through clenched teeth. The blonde kills the heat and places the curry on the counter while Camie brings out the rice and some pickled vegetables from the fridge. She pulls out a beer and twists the cap off before handing it to Bakugou, who snatches it away and takes a quick swig before continuing, “He’s actually kinda nice to me, I guess. And I like watching him be so sorry about all those penises. I may have also mentioned suing him for psychological distress.” Bakugou catches Todoroki’s gaze. “Can I do that?”

Todoroki hums, “You can try, but I don’t think you’ve got that solid a case. Plus, haven’t you deleted virtually all the evidence?”

Bakugou grips the neck of his beer bottle harder. “I fucking hate everything.”

Bakugou …………………………………

Bakugou except ruby

bartender asshole :D :D :D :D :D

Kirishima, it turns out, is a ray of fucking sunshine. Bakugou has a distinct feeling that looking at him directly would be a blinding experience.

Not that he knows who to look for though; he has no idea what this guy looks like. He guesses that he’s buff, with all the times he tells Bakugou about the gym showers running out of hot water and beating his best weights doing bench presses, but he knows nothing else.

He does know that he’s sweet as fuck, making it impossible for Bakugou to stay mad at him. He doesn’t blink at Bakugou’s cussing, and he sends him cute pictures of Ruby.

There is a part of him, small but steadily growing, that wants to meet this stupidly nice bartender.

Bakugou hates everything.

“Just to recap,” Kaminari says with an incredulous look in his eyes, “this guy cusses like a sailor, is constantly insulting you, never initiates conversation, and you still like him?”

Kirishima’s answering grin is bashful. “I mean, when you put it like that it sounds not so great, but he’s really not that bad! He’s super funny and confident, and he LOVES Ruby. Plus, I don’t like him like that, I just think he’s cool.” Kirishima picks up another glass from the washer and starts carefully drying it with his dishcloth before saying, “And, you know, I did put him through a lot by giving out his number. His behaviour is kinda warranted if you ask me.”

“I mean, in the beginning maybe, but haven’t you guys been texting for over a week now?”

“Denki, are you forgetting that giving out another number was your idea?” Kirishima mutters, narrowing his eyes at his best friend. “I’m in this mess because of you.”

Kaminari suddenly seems to find the glass in his hand a lot more interesting. Kirishima’s laugh echoes around the empty bar.

‘What’s so funny?” Ashido muses, bringing a crate of bottled beer behind the counter.

“Kirishima is going gaga over angry dick pic man.”

“I’m not going gaga, what the heck-“

“I think it’s cute,” Ashido says with a big smile. “It’s been so long since I’ve seen you actually be interested in somebody; it’s really cute!”

“I don’t like him like that,” Kirishima stresses, though his cheeks are a little warm. He can blame that on the lack of air conditioning, he thinks.

“We talking about angry dick pic man?” Sero asks with a shit-eating grin. “10 bucks say he’s actually a middle-aged guy with a cheese fetish.”

“That’s so random-“

“You’re on!” Ashido yells, slapping her hand into Sero’s. “I think he’ll be a hottie.”

“He hasn’t even said he’ll come,” Kirishima says, eyes downcast.

“He’ll come,” the three chorus, going about doing their tasks. Kirishima shakes his head fondly and finishes up with the glasses. Just as he’s put all the shot glasses away, he feels his phone vibrate.

Bakubro just finished a massive project

Bakubro could use a drink this weekend

Bakubro know any good spots?

Kirishima’s face breaks into the biggest smile as he rushes to answer.

Kirishima I know a bar that serves free drinks with your name on it!!!!

Bakubro way to toot your own fucking horn damn

Kirishima :DDDDD

Bakubro ugh

Bakubro fine.

Bakubro Friday night at 8

Kirishima looks up from the screen and calls out, “Denki!”

“Yeah?”

“Switch shifts with me, I’ll do Friday.”

“Um, ok, why though?”

Kirishima doesn’t respond, just goes back to texting, his heart thudding in his ribcage.

Kirishima YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Kirishima cant wait :D

Bakubro I’m bringing my stupid friends btw

Kirishima wait

Kirishima you have friends???????

Bakubro I am going to end you

Bakubro you know what? Fuck you im not coming

Kirishima need to weaken your guard somehow

Kirishima pls tell me it worked

Bakubro ugh

Bakubro ill be there

Bakubro reserve a table for 4

Bakubro your stupid bar better be worth it

Kirishima I promise it will be!!!!

Kirishima whoops in joy, slipping his phone back into his pocket. He looks up to see three sets of eyes looking at him with varying degrees of amusement.

“You get a really mushy look on your face when you’re texting him, it’s almost gross,” Sero points out with a laugh.

“Hush you,” Ashido admonishes, whipping her dishcloth at him. She walks over to Kirishima and gives him a big hug. “I think it’s very, very precious.”

“What did he say?”

“He’s coming this Friday!” Kirishima beams, holding Ashido closer against his side.

The three giggle.

“10 bucks say Kirishima messes up the drinks at least once.”

“HEY!”

Ashido squeezes around his middle. “Hon, I love you, but I’m not dumb enough to go against that.”

“HEY!”

They end up laughing and fibbing at each other for the rest of the prep time, and Kirishima feels his heart absolutely soar.

Friday brings with it crunch time, running lines and lines of code, having a mini-breakdown because the stupid text block keeps floating around on the webpage like it’s in outer fucking space, being forced into one of Camie’s ridiculous vlogs and having an existential crisis about what to wear on a non-date get-together with the guy that ruined Bakugou’s life for close to three months.

Camie spends most of the day laughing at him. Bakugou throws more condiments at her.

“Fucking help me at least, you useless wench,” Bakugou growls, shifting to clothes as he throws a pair of jeans at her. Camie dances out of the way and doubles over, laughing till she tears up from the force of it all.

“I can’t, I just can’t,” she wheezes. “Did you just say wench? What era are you from babe?”

“FUCK OFF,” he roars, leaping towards her. Camie shrieks and ducks away, making a beeline towards his closet.

“Ok, ok, let’s get you dressed! What kinda look are you trying for?”

“Fuck if I know,” he grouses, feeling oddly out of his depth. He wants to look good, but he has no idea for what.

That’s a lie, he knows why. He just won’t admit it.

“Well, why don’t we pick something simple but flattering? Plus, if it's in your style, you’re bound to be more comfy.” Camie pulls out a pair of black jeans that are ripped at the knees, a black fitted round-neck tee shirt, and some black boots. While he’s changing, Camie pulls out a silver chain, some bands for his wrists and a collection of rings.

“Do you want me to do your eyes?” she offers, holding up some mascara and an eye pencil. Bakugou shrugs and sits on the edge of his bed. Camie’s smile is soft as she stands between his thighs, gently but efficiently applying his make-up. When she’s done, he walks over to the mirror to look at himself, and he has to admit- he looks good. Always one to take care of his body and his figure, Bakugou is lean muscle packed into a 5’10” body. His blonde hair is as messy as ever, but the combination of his make-up, the accessories and his clothes give him an edgy look like no other. Camie throws a dark fitted jacket at him before sauntering over to her own room.

He continues to reply to some work emails when his phone buzzes.

dumbass cant wait to see you!!!

dumbass just ask for me at the bar

dumbass or I might be the one to greet you!! :D :D

Bakugou I know dumbass

Bakugou what, are you nervous or some shit?

dumbass I mean, kinda????

dumbass it’s our first time meeting afterall

dumbass I don’t even know wat you look like!!!!

Bakugou blonde wearing all black

dumbass redhead wearing a shirt with the riot logo!

Bakugou whatever

Bakugou ill be there at 8

Dumbass cant wait <33333

Bakugou dumbass

Bakugou scoffs, his own nerves calming at the thought that he’s not the only one that’s a bit out of sorts. It’s nice to know that sunshine Kirishima is jittery about all this.

Also, interesting to know that he’s a redhead. Bakugou can’t quite imagine it, but in a few minutes, he won't need to.

His stomach roils with anticipation, and Bakugou hates every single thing.

Camie pops out of her room at half-past 7 in a maroon romper that cuts above her mid-thigh, hair done in a loose bun, makeup absolutely perfect. Her heels put her at a height taller than Bakugou, but he’s gotten used to being the shortest in their stupid posse. Doesn’t piss him off any less though.

She gets a phone call just as she pushes a tube of lip gloss into her purse.

“We are downstairs!” Inasa’s voice rings through her speaker, stupidly loud.

“Can it, baldy,” Bakugou grunts with a roll of his eyes, “we’ll be there in a sec.”

“See ya!”

Before Bakugou can usher Camie out the door, she pushes her clutch into his hands and walks over to the kitchen cabinet, pulling out two shot glasses and a bottle of tequila.

“Wha-“

“Liquid courage, my dude,” she says, pouring two generous shots and pushing one at Bakugou. She picks her own glass up and gives him a devilish smirk, “Bottoms up bitch!”

Bakugou picks the glass up with a resigned sigh but smirks back equally devilish. They cheers, smack the glasses against the counter and drain them smoothly. Camie puts the glasses in the sink, places a smacking kiss on Bakugou’s cheek and laughs brightly as she dances out of the way of his rage.

They finally load up in Inasa’s range rover, Todoroki plays classical Japanese music over the speakers and Bakugou regrets everything.

Riot is apparently something of a beloved establishment in its neighbourhood, and Bakugou growls when he sees how long the line leading to the bar is.

“Holy moly, that’s a lot of people!” Camie points out helpfully as she disembarks from the car.

Todoroki straightens his two-tone denim jacket and runs a hand through his hair as he says, “We have a reservation, so I think it’ll be fine?”

“Yes, I agree with you Todoroki,” Inasa beams, locking the car behind him as they walk towards the building. The outside is made of exposed brick and neon lights, and the RIOT sign is a deep red colour, eye-catching and beautiful.

They bypass the people in the line and walk up to the bouncer, who eyes them warily. He’s built like an absolute tank, broad and block-like, and his silver hair shines in the artificial light.

“Can I help you?”

“Bakugou, table for 4,” Camie says cheerily. The bouncer looks immediately enamoured with her before his eyes go wide.

“Wait, Eijirou’s Bakugou?”

Bakugou’s ears burn at that.

“I’m not fucking anybody’s!” he snaps. The bouncer immediately looks at him, and his face breaks into an even wider grin.

“Well, I’ll be damned! Can I see some ID real quick?”

Bakugou cusses colourfully under his breath but pulls out his license, and after a quick check, the bouncer, whose name is Tetsutetsu, steps aside to let them in.

“Have a good time!” he says happily, almost too happily. Bakugou feels his hackles rise.

“What the fuck?”

“It appears that Kirishima talks about you at least as much as you talk about him,” Todoroki observes, walking next to Bakugou.

“I don’t talk about him, fuck you!”

Todoroki’s delicately raised brow makes him want to punch something. Or someone. Preferably both.

“Fuck you all,” he reiterates before stomping inside.

Now, Bakugou is a relatively creative soul – his job kinda demands it – so it’s not his fault that he’s actually quite captivated by the interiors of this stupidly popular bar co-owned by a stupidly nice person.

The inside has exposed brick as well, and most of the furniture seems to be retro. There are large pipes and barrels behind the bar, made of what seems to be pure copper. Black marble covers the bar tops, and the lights are a mix of neon and muted whites, bright enough to see but still bathing the room in an alluring aura. There’s music thumping through the speakers, loud enough to dispel any silence but still at a bearable volume.

“Swanky,” Camie whistles, taking it all in.

Bakugou nods begrudgingly before setting his eyes on the bar.

“I’ll go get us a fucking table,” he mutters before walking over, hands digging deep into his pant pockets. He sees a lanky black-haired guy and a girl with tan skin and pink hair behind the bar, talking animatedly with the patrons as they serve them drinks at a dizzying pace.

When he finally gets a spot at the counter, the pink-haired girl finishes up with a customer and bounds over to him.

“Hi,” she greets, smile wide and happy, “haven’t seen you around before! What can I get you?”

“Kirishima,” Bakugou says because apparently, his brain to mouth filter has decided to abandon him in his time of need. The girl tilts her head in confusion and Bakugou feels the life drain out of him.

“I’m sorry?”

“I’m fuckin here because of dumbass Kirishima,” Bakugou barely grits out, fingers digging into his palms painfully. “The name is Bakugou, table for 4?”

He sees it all in slow-mo- the way her mouth goes slack, the way her eyes light up like firecrackers on New Year’s, and then the way her smile becomes positively blinding. He hates her already.

“Holy shit,” she breathes, “of course! So glad you’re here! Oye, Sero?”

“What?” the black-haired guy says without looking, topping up a perfectly poured glass of beer.

“You owe me 10 bucks.”

This gets his attention- he hands the drink off and looks at her, “Why would I-“

The girl just gestures at Bakugou and winks, “It’s him.”

Sero – or plain face, Bakugou’s brain helpfully supplies – immediately looks at him, his eyes widening. “Shit, seriously? Aw, man.” His smile becomes mischievous. “I’ll get Kirishima.” He opens the door behind the bar and disappears.

“What the fuck was that?” Bakugou snaps, beyond irritated to be so out of the loop.

“Nothing, nothing,” Pinky sings, raising her hands in a placating gesture. “Kirishima will show your party to your table. Do you want anything in the meantime?”

“… a beer,” Bakugou concedes because he’s not dumb enough to not get a drink before he sees Kirishima if he can help it.

“Coming right up!”

He waits at the bar, watching as his group of dumbasses ooh and ahh at the place, looking delighted. A bottle of cold beer hits the counter with a satisfying thunk, bringing his attention back to the bartop.

“Enjoy!” Pinky still has a stupid smile on her face but before Bakugou can say anything, the door behind her is thrown open and plain face steps out.

“The restocking can wait, literally the only thing you’ve talked about for the last 3 days is finally happening.”

The guy following him is all tanned skin and thick muscles under a fitted deep red tee shirt. His hair is a bright unnatural red, pulled into a high pony with a few strands still framing his face. His eyes are a softer red than Bakugou’s own, his cheeks sharp and high, and when his eyes meet Bakugou’s, a zip of electricity races down his spine and along his limbs till he can feel it in his toes.

When the man makes his way over, Bakugou also notes how damn tall he is- easily around 6’4”. His smile is shy, and he smells like sandalwood.

“Bakugou, hi,” he breathes, hesitantly holding his hand out. Bakugou takes it in a daze, still amazed by just how stupidly beautiful this stupidly kind bar owner is.

“Heyyo, you disappeared fam, how’s it going?”

Bakugou hates everything.

He reluctantly slips his hand out of Kirishima’s warm, firm grip and turns to Camie with venomous eyes. “I literally just met him Cam, shut the fuck up.” He turns back to Kirishima, “Can you show us to our table?”

Kirishima shakes his head once before his smile turns blinding, and Bakugou finds himself fighting the urge to shield his eyes. “Of course,” he says in a voice that’s deep and warm and honey-like, “right this way!”

Bakugou snags his beer off the counter and takes a quick swig before Camie steals it and takes a few sips of her own. He growls at her but otherwise behaves, watching Kirishima’s back as he leads them through throngs of people engaged in cheerful conversation.

“Ok, well, he’s hot,” Cam says around the lip of the bottle. “Total beefcake. Whaddya think, boo?”

“I think you should fuck off,” Bakugou hisses, his face burning.

“If you wanted to go on a date, you probably shouldn’t have invited us,” Todoroki says, taking the offered bottle from Camie.

Before Bakugou can explode in their faces, Kirishima stops and turns around. “Here ya go!” He gestures to a table behind him, tucked into a more private corner of the bar. It’s large and cushy, and when Bakugou gets in after Camie, he’s surprised at how soft the material is.

“So?” Kirishima says, eyes trained on Bakugou.

“Fuckin what?” Bakugou snaps, voice lacking any heat.

Kirishima laughs, head thrown back to reveal a long, thick neck and Bakugou is so damn weak.

“Aren’t you going to introduce me to your friends?”

Bakugou clicks his tongue before gesturing at each of them, “Camie, marketing expert by day, YouTube beauty vlogger by night, pain in my ass always. Todoroki, environmental lawyer and a soba obsessed weirdo. Inasa, physiotherapist and resident dumbass.”

Kirishima gives them all a wave before saying, “Kirishima, co-owner of Riot and the reason why Bakugou saw more unwarranted penises than strictly necessary in a lifetime.”

“Asshole,” Bakugou grumbles, earning him another laugh and a bashful hand ruffling the back of Kirishima’s head.

“Still so sorry about that man,” Kirishima offers, “everything’s definitely on the house for you all! Speaking of ordering-“ Kirishima moves on to explain their ordering system-

“You can scan the code with your camera app,” the redhead says, pointing at the barcode on the centrepiece of their table, “and it pulls up our bar and food menu. Just enter your order and your table number,” he points at the large digits on the side that glows a bright 15 back at them.

Inasa pulls his phone out to order. Before he leaves, Kirishima says, “Can I get your drink order before I go?”

Camie asks for a LIIT, Inasa gets a Soju bomb and Todoroki starts off with his usual- a cosmo.

“You good on that beer?” Kirishima asks Bakugou warmly, his eyes dancing with mirth.

“I’m fine,” he grumbles, sliding lower into his seat. “Maybe get me another, your choice?”

“Coming right up,” Kirishima beams before stepping away, and Bakugou’s heart splutters around his chest at the sight of sharp white teeth and cheek-aching grins.

“He’s so cute!” Camie squeals, stealing the last of his beer. “And he’s totes into you too.”

“I have to agree, he’s very attractive,” Todoroki says impassively.

“Certified hottie,” Inasa rounds up, flashing his own biceps for some reason.

Bakugou is so done, and they’ve been here all 5 minutes.

“Kirishim- Kirishima, the beer is overflowing,” Ashido says, pushing him away and taking over. “God, you’re so gone for him, it’s almost embarrassing.”

Kirishima snaps out of his stupor and moves to take the glass back. Ashido hip checks him away.

“You’re being a little stupid, go help Satou with plating and take the food to lover boy’s table.”

“He has a name, you know,” Kirishima mumbles, but Ashido simply laughs, and Kirishima feels his neck and ears go warm.

Because who let Bakugou walk into his bar looking like that? Looking so damn gorgeous in his all-black get up and his perfect eye make-up and that fierce scowl?

Kirishima’s heart had pretty much stopped at the sight of him, and it was yet to regain its usual rhythm.

The redhead rests his forehead against the wall and mumbles, “I’m so screwed.”

“We know buddy,” Sero says, patting his back sympathetically, “we know.”

For all that Bakugou hates outings and people and outings in places filled with people, he finds himself having a moderately good time.

Because the food is delicious if lacking a little heat, the alcohol is mixed perfectly and the music is fantastic, filtering through old rock classics with some alt stuff mixed in.

And then there’s Kirishima- tending the bar with ease, laughing along with his co-workers, and sending Bakugou wide, happy smiles that sets his entire face on fire.

“This place is awesome,” Camie whoops, banging another shot glass on the table before knocking it back with ease. Todoroki joins her, his impassive face not so much as twitching at the taste of strong tequila before he bites into a lime. Inasa is already beer drunk, cheeks dusky as he hums along to the music.

“Insufferable,” Bakugou mumbles around his 4th-ish beer. He likes to keep up his grumpy act till his last shred of dignity melts away cause of the alcohol, and he’s probably pretty hit already because he lets Camie pull him into her side with her arm around his shoulder, his nose suddenly privy to the scent of her mellow perfume.

“I love you guys,” Camie beams, picking up her beer and waving it in front of her. Todoroki and Inasa clink their drinks against it, and Bakugou silently waves his own bottle around before downing it.

“You guys good on- oh my god, are you Camie? THE Camie?”

It’s Pinky at their table and her eyes are so comically wide that Bakugou can’t help his snort of laughter. He feels Camie straighten up, but her arm around him stays, holding him close.

“Define THE Camie,” she says with a smile in her voice.

“The beauty blogger that I’ve only been following for the last 3 years, holy shit I love your videos.” And then suddenly, her eyes narrow on Bakugou before she snaps her fingers. “NO WONDER YOU LOOK FAMILIAR! You’re the angry blonde in all her videos!”

“Haan? You wanna go pinky?” Bakugou growls, moving to stand up. Camie keeps him firmly by her side, her laughter shaking them both.

“That’s us!” Camie says. Bakugou finally fights his way out of her grip and throws her a withering look, or his drunken attempt at one anyway. She winks, and he fake gags. “I don’t get recognized in public all that often LOL, this is fun.”

“Did you just say LOL in a verbal fucking conversation?”

“What do you mean you don’t get recognized; you literally have like 3.2million subscribers.”

Camie ignores Bakugou and shrugs at Pinky. “I guess my primary demographic aint here fam. Speaking of which,” she thrusts her hand out, “what’s your name?”

“Ashido Mina,” she says, taking her hand firmly. Camie introduces her to the others, and Bakugou looks back at the bar, disappointed to see that he can’t find Kirishima.

“Can I top you guys off?” Kirishima says, suddenly right next to their table, effectively startling the shit outta Bakugou.

Camie chirps an affirmative, Todoroki asks for a water and checks to see if Inasa’s breathing as the big olf continues to sleep, curled up in the corner of the booth.

“And you Bakubro?”

“Don’t call me that,” Bakugou frowns before adding, “I should probably stop, I’m already kinda tipsy.”

“Lightweight,” Camie teases.

Bakugou gives her the stink eye. “Woman, the one time I tried keeping up with you, I ended up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning and you didn’t have so much as a hangover, so fuck off.”

“Seriously?” Kirishima says, eyes wide.

“That’s amazing,” Ashido murmurs, her smile crooked and dangerous.

Bakugou. Hates. Everything.

“He had no lasting liver damage, we’re all fine,” Camie reassures before diving into a conversation with Mina about beauty hacks and good mascara brands and global warming.

Kirishima leans close to Bakugou, bathing him in that warm sandalwood scent. “How about I get you some water and one last beer? A Hefeweizen?”

Bakugou turns to look at him, and his breath hitches in his throat when he notices how close they are, when he sees just how red Kirishima’s eyes are, how the heat seems to radiate off his skin. He exhales in a rush and looks away, answering with a jerky nod.

Kirishima gives his shoulder a friendly squeeze – he’s so warm, his hand is fucking huge – before walking to the bar and picking their stuff up.

When pinky finally meanders away from their table to serve other customers, Camie leans her head on Bakugou’s shoulder and says, “We’ll leave soon, ok?”

Bakugou nods again, leaning some of his weight back into her. Todoroki catches his eye and flashes him a warm, tipsy smile, and if he returns it with one of his own, well, he’s drunk out of his skull and has approximately no fucks to give.

Long after putting Bakugou and his posse in a cab, before which they insisted on paying pretty much the entire tab since they ate and drank a LOT, Kirishima and the rest are cleaning up when Ashido whips him with her cleaning rag.

Kirishima looks at her with betrayed eyes, “Wha-“

“Ei, you better text him again.”

“About what?” Kirishima says glumly. “I did what I said I would do, and I promised to leave him alone after that.”

“Boy please,” Ashido scoffs, roughly wiping down one of the tables, “ya’ll made such gooey eyes at each other all night, plus I’m pretty sure he paid the entire tab just so you could keep up whatever façade you guys have going on to cover up the fact that you have INSANE chemistry with one another.”

“Yeah, the tension was palpable bro,” Sero chimes in, throwing an arm around his waist. “I think you should text him too. He seemed really amusing, and his whole group was a riot.”

Kirishima rolls his eyes at the pun but smiles at them, feeling a new burst of energy in his limbs.

“You guys are absolutely right! Worst case, he blocks me. At least I won’t have any regrets.”

“Yeah boy, get it with that optimism.”

Bakugou wakes up to a slight headache, a mouth that tastes like ash, and a profound sadness that settles atop his sternum, weighing him down and pressing him into his mattress.

He sees the glass of water on his bedside table with ibuprofen placed neatly next to it and downs them both without so much as a second thought. As his brain slowly comes back online, he takes a moment to finally navigate his messy feelings and comes to a crushing realization-

Kirishima doesn’t have to text him anymore.

The redhead had said that he’d leave him alone after making it up to him, and yes, it was Bakugou’s standoffish nature that got them into that situation in the first place. And yes, Bakugou had paid the tab mostly because it was too high a bill to be footed by the bar and Bakugou made bank, but also because a small, minuscule part of him hoped that the gesture would make Kirishima insist on another outing or something to ‘make it up to him'.

The blonde doesn’t even bother to acknowledge the fact that he forgave Kirishima almost two days into texting him.

He almost avoids his phone out of fear alone and makes it through a whole cup of coffee and 3 chapters into a novel recommended by Deku before finally picking up his phone to check for emails and notifications.

He expects none from Kirishima.

So, of course, there are 3 from the redhead.

Bakugou’s heart leaps to his throat and he can’t seem to unlock his phone quite fast enough.

fuck he’s cute hi Bakugou, thank you for coming last night!!!

fuck he’s cute it was actually really cool 2 finally meet you. U didn’t have to pay the tab tho :’D

fuck he’s cute bt since u did, I still owe u. can we figure it out later??? Also, what did you think of the place???

Bakugou dumbass

Bakugou you’ve got a swanky place, I’ll give you that. Food was fucking good too. could be spicier.

Bakugou you got cam completely hooked

Bakugou and yeah, you better make it up to me later. Asshole.

Kirishima replies a few hours later, just as Bakugou finishes up a yoga routine that stretches out his back in the best way possible.

fuck he’s cute :D :D :D :D :D

fuck he’s cute can’t wait

fuck he’s cute <image attached>

fuck he’s cute ruby says hi

It’s a selfie this time, not a picture of just the kitty. Bakugou can appreciate how cute the mutt is, but for once, he has no attention to spare her. Not when Kirishima’s eyes are crinkling around the edges from how hard he smiles up at the camera, not when he’s wearing a tank top with relaxed arm holes, showing off bulging muscles and hints of ink, and not when just the mere thought of him makes Bakugou’s stomach flop around uncontrollably.

He barely manages to reply coherently.

Bakugou the only bright spot in this shitty world

He presses his phone to his forehead and quietly contemplates just how gay he is. Camie pets his head on the way to the kitchen.

It takes Bakugou some time to get used to waking up to Good Morning texts and a stream of random thoughts from Kirishima all day. The flutter in his stomach disappears a few weeks into talking to the redhead, instead replaced by a bone-deep warmth that always manages to make him feel a little better.

dumbass Kirishima <image attached> [it’s a gym selfie; Kirishima is crouching in front of the mirror shirtless, hair pulled into a bun atop his head. He’s glistening with sweat, and he’s got a more serious look on his face. He’s not actively flexing any muscle, but the pose makes his thighs, calves and biceps bulge. One hand holds the phone, the other is resting on his bent knee]

“So, let me get this straight- you guys gym together at least once a week, you talk every day, your stomach flutters at the mere thought of him and Cam swears he’s making googly eyes at you all the time, and you still haven’t asked each other out yet?”

Bakugou flips his phone off, “Fuck off Deku, don’t be a little shit.”

Midoriya’s face morphs into an amused smile on the other end of their facetime call, “Are you being bashful Kacchan? That’s adorable.”

“I’m hanging up.”

“NOOOOO,” Midoriya bemoans dramatically. “I can’t believe I’m missing all this.”

“Yeah, well, who the fuck told you to teach kids English halfway across the world dumbass?”

“I miss you too Kacchan,” Midoriya beams, making a heart with his hands.

“I truly loathe you.”

“Whatever helps you sleep at night.” Midoriya puts a few papers away before sighing. “So?”

“So what?”

“So, are you going to make a move? How do you plan on doing it?”

“I don’t,” Bakugou ruffles his hair and ducks his head to hide his rapidly warming cheeks, “I’m not asking him out Deku, fuck that.”

“Why not?” the asshole whines, eyes wide and innocent. “You deserve happiness Kacchan. Plus, he seems like a really nice guy.” Midoriya leans forward and adds in a whisper, “I’ve heard he has a fantastic butt.”

Bakugou rolls his eyes and flips him off again, “Fuck off, you can’t say that without actually meeting him.”

“I’ll be back before then. You guys better be dating already when I get there.”

“Stop telling me what to do, shitty Deku!”

“Never Kacchan, that’s what you do for the people you love.”

“Ugh, how are you so gross when you’re so far away, I hate you.”

Midoriya’s laugh sounds tinny over the phone speaker, lacking its usual body and warmth. Bakugou huffs again before picking his novel back up to read.

“Hi Zuku,” Camie calls out from over Bakugou’s shoulder. “You need to come back soon and help me with Kitkat, he refuses to make the first move!”

“Butt out of my fucking love life, you freaks!”

“Can’t butt out of something that doesn’t exist Kats,” Camie deadpans.

Bakugou feels extremely justified in flinging a stress ball right at her. The kitchen fills up with raucous laughter, from his phone and from the person standing in front of him, and Bakugou thinks that adding a deeper, warmer laugh to the mix, coming from a specific redhead might not be the worst thing in the world.

Kiri bakugouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Bakugou what?

Bakugou just fuck you

Eijirou <3 <3 <3

Bakugou wakes up one morning, approximately 5 months after meeting Kirishima for the first time, with a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.

His work goes smoothly. The coffee tastes potent and fresh, his body feels fine, his plants are thriving, Camie is busy with her own deadlines and therefore not bugging him, even the sun is mellow and warm; the perfect weather.

The pit in his stomach worsens with every hour.

It doesn’t help that all of his messages to Kirishima have gone unanswered; he hasn’t even been online all day. In the months that they’ve communicated, he’s never gone a day without texting the man, and now it’s like he fell off the face of the Earth.

When it gets closer to 6 in the evening, Bakugou decides to call if Kirishima doesn’t get in touch himself. Because the pit in his stomach is making him nauseous, and he needs to know if the redhead is ok if only for the sake of his own damn health.

He gets a call from an unknown number at 5:20 in the evening. The pit in his stomach becomes a yawning chasm as he picks up the call.

“Hello?”

“Bakugou, it’s Ashido, from the bar.”

Bakugou pulls in a deep breath. “Where is Kirishima?”

“Um, there was an incident last night, at Riot.” She sighs deeply before continuing, “Kiri got jumped in the alley outside by a bunch of really drunk homophobic assholes that saw him turn down some guy’s number. He actually fought them off for the most part, but he’s sustained a broken nose and some fractured ribs. We’re at the hospital right now.”

Bakugou sinks to the ground, his stomach plummeting with him. “Are you fucking serious right now? Fuck-“

“I’ll text you the hospital details, ok? I’m sorry we didn’t call sooner, between talking to his moms and the hospital folks, it slipped my mind.”

“I’ll be there,” Bakugou says, standing up on shaky feet and stumbling back to his room. “Just don’t leave him alone.”

“Never in a million years.”

They hang up and Bakugou changes, hails a cab, and gets to the hospital in a complete daze.

His affection for the redhead, brimming and spilling from every crevice, makes itself evident when he lays eyes on him in the hospital bed and feels a surge of protectiveness. He wants to kill the people that did this, he wants to gather Kirishima in his arms and hold him tight, he wants to crawl into bed with him and talk about stupid shit and see him smile again.

“He’s pretty high on pain meds right now,” Ashido says from somewhere behind him, pointing to his IV lines, “so he’s been saying really funny stuff. The doctors did a full evaluation and said he should recover completely in 5ish weeks.”

Bakugou nods and swallows thickly. Ashido squeezes his arm before leaving the hospital room, shutting the door behind her softly.

Kirishima hasn’t seen him yet, so Bakugou approaches his bed carefully before placing a hand on the guardrail. The noise pulls Kirishima’s attention towards him, and Bakugou’s gut tightens when those large, warm eyes go completely soft at the sight of him.

“Kassaki~” Kirishima slurs, his smile large and dopey.

“You absolute dumbass,” Bakugou chokes out, his hand moving from the rail to grip Kirishima’s tightly. Kirishima’s fingers twine with his own with practised ease and his smile turns gooey.

“Hi Kats, you look beautiful today.”

Bakugou half-laughs, half-sobs and rubs his eyes fiercely. Kirishima’s face is a bit bruised, and there’s a huge bandage on his nose, but he doesn’t look nearly as bad as Bakugou had first feared. The pit in his stomach finally calms, slowly loosening until he can breathe normally again.

“Shut up Eiji,” Bakugou grumbles, sitting down on the chair beside the bed. He leaves his hand in Kirishima’s.

“Ok,” Kirishima agrees easily. It takes 10 seconds for him to break the silence again.

“Hey Kats?”

“What?”

“Are we dating?”

Bakugou startles at that, eyes snapping over to Kirishima’s. He doesn’t look accusatory or hurt or weirded out or anything- merely curious.

“No, we’re not.”

“Oh.” Kirishima frowns, “Why not?”

Bakugou huffs out a small laugh, “Because we’re both idiots.”

“Oh,” the redhead says, then nods. “That kinda tracks.”

“HEY!”

Kirishima’s smile becomes dopey again, eyes crinkling in the most endearing way.

“I really like you Kats. You’re so smart and funny and you always smell like fabric softener, and you’re just like. Really pretty.”

Bakugou feels his face heat up completely, his grip on Kirishima’s hand tightening.

“Just rest, you dumbass,” Bakugou says weakly, his entire body too hot for comfort. He watches Kirishima’s smile become something warm and loving in a way that hits his heart, and he doesn’t let go of the redhead’s hand, right up until the end of visiting hours.

When he exits the hospital alongside Ashido, he feels the last of his energy drain.

“I cant believe we didn’t get to him sooner,” Ashido mumbles, rubbing at her eyes fiercely. “The bar was noisy, and he just wanted to dump out some trash. Hanta noticed he was gone a while before we went out back and found him punching the last dude.”

Bakugou purses his lips. Truth be told, he cant believe Kirishima had gotten so badly hurt so close to his own bar, and he’s pissed as fuck that the idiot brigade had even let it happen, but the sincerity in Ashido’s voice tugs at his chest painfully.

“I’m sure he’ll forgive you.” Bakugou laughs humorlessly. “He’ll probably say there’s nothing to forgive in the first place.”

Ashido’s laugh is hollow, “That’s our Eijirou.” She looks at Bakugou again. “You coming tomorrow?”

He flashes her his best sneer. “You best believe I’m going to come by every single fucking day till he’s discharged.”

Ashido’s smile becomes a little more genuine, a little more well-rounded.

“I’m really glad he has you.” Her voice goes all soft and gross as she continues, “You mean a LOT to him, in case you didn’t already know.”

“Fuck off,” Bakugou mumbles, before waving her off and walking away.

Because he does know.

He also knows he’s falling madly in love with him, and that he’s completely and utterly screwed.

And he finds that he really doesn’t mind all that much. Some people, he rationalizes, are worth the horrible butterflies and the too hot too cold feelings down the back of his spine.

Some people, he realizes, are worth loving with everything you’ve got.

It takes Kirishima five weeks of house arrest to recover completely. Bakugou spends every weekday and a few of the weekends with him, staying over more often than not. He fusses over the redhead, forces him to take his medication on time, and cooks him everything under the sun.

“You’re spoiling me,” the redhead whines when Bakugou serves him what smells like the best mapo tofu he’s ever going to have.

The blonde grins triumphantly, “You’re damn right I am.”

They bicker and banter constantly, but they also curl up and marathon old bond movies at night. Kirishima goes over the bar’s paperwork while Bakugou works off his couch, and they take turns making the coffee. Ruby falls in love with Bakugou and curls up on his chest every chance she gets, and Bakugou laughs at Kirishima’s look of betrayal. The redhead’s couch is ridiculously comfortable, and he leaves his memory foam pillow with the blonde.

“You refuse to take my bed,” he grumbles, “so you damn well better accept my stupid pillow.”

Bakugou’s neck thanks the redhead profusely.

It’s new and weird, living with someone for the first time. Kirishima’s posse are in and out through the day, and Camie comes by just as often, bringing a change of clothes and gossip with her. Todoroki drops in with some high-quality tequila sometimes and Inasa brings his infectious energy, and through all of this, Kirishima remains in high spirits, even if he goes a little stir crazy sometimes.

It’s new and it’s weird, going from casual touches to more loving ones, more comforting ones. It becomes commonplace for Bakugou to rest his head between Kirishima’s shoulder blades on the days that he has a bad time at work. It’s normal for Kirishima to place his head on Bakugou’s lap while they watch shark documentaries. It’s easy for them to bump knees and press their calves together while enjoying their morning coffee.

It’s new and it’s weird and it’s amazing.

Because Bakugou finds himself falling in love with the little things. The way Kirishima sticks his tongue out when he’s smashing the PS5 controller during an especially intense game of Mario party, the way he makes the coffee with a sleepy smile on his face, the way he hums off-key to a song that’s stuck in his head, the way he can understand Bakugou- can differentiate between his frustrated fuck, his bashful fuck, his angry fuck, his sleepy fuck.

And how he accepts it all without so much as a hitch in his step.

Bakugou watches himself fall in love, slowly, and then all at once.

“How is it that he lived with you for almost 5 weeks and you STILL didn’t ask him out? Or kiss him stupid? Or something?”

Sero has a finger pinching the bridge of his nose, the other flexing loosely in front of his chest as he tries to fathom the stupidity of two people that could not be more into each other if they tried.

“I, I uh-“ Kirishima hangs his head, “I have no excuse.” He sighs deeply. “I was scared he’d give me a pity answer cause I was injured and everything.”

Ashido looks over her shoulder with incredulous eyes. “Are you kidding me?”

“What?”

“Eiji, I know you love us so like, if any of us were hurt like this you’d take care of us till we were better too. But do you think someone like BAKUGOU would practically move into someone’s house to make sure they were ok if he wasn’t nuts about them? Really?”

Kirishima’s face flushes, and he waves her away. “I don’t want to read into it. He’s just a really, really, really good guy. And what we have is good, it’s great! We’re bros. Pals. Friends. It’s all good.”

Ashido continues to stare at him for another moment before throwing her hands up and yelling, “BOYS!” She stomps into the kitchen to help Satou with prep for the day.

They continue to stock up the bar, Kirishima assigned to prepping limes and the ice machine, when the door opens and someone steps in.

“Sorry, we’re not op- Bakugou?”

And there stands the blonde with the biggest bouquet of flowers – chrysanthemums and sunflowers – that Kirishima has ever seen. The redhead distantly hears the sound of a door close behind him, and suddenly they’re alone, the tension positively stifling.

“Bakugo-“

“Go on a date with me.”

Kirishima sucks in a startled breath, his heart hammering in his chest.

“Go on a date. With me,” Bakugou repeats, his neck and ears tinging the loveliest shade of red. “The romantic kind. Where we dress up and get food and drinks and fight over the bill and walk each other to the door and get super awkward before we kiss. All that shit.”

Kirishima isn’t sure how it happens- one moment he’s on this side of the bar, the next, he’s jumping across and gathering Bakugou into a tight embrace, mindful of his newly healed ribs but still unwilling to release the blonde until Bakugou returns his hug, burying his face into Kirishima’s chest.

“Is that a yes?” Bakugou mumbles when they finally pull away, his hands fisted in Kirishima’s shirt.

“In every possible language out there,” Kirishima answers, ducking down to softly kiss Bakugou on the cheek. He laughs as the blonde cusses and shoves him away and laughs even harder when Bakugou’s own smile covers his entire face, bright and open and oh so breathtaking.

That smile is Kirishima’s and Kirishima’s alone.

Eiji hiiiiiiiiiiii

Bakugou I swear to god Ei

What’s a Carnival w/o a Kiss?

Nishinoya, Tendou, Kuroo, and Bokuto visit you at your kissing booth.

Fem reader

Choose your character ending!!

Your best friends name is Mina bc I’m watching MHA and needed a name.

Not edited.

When they approved your VBC kissing booth you were shocked. You thought for sure it would be denied but apparently they thought it would be fun. “What’s the harm in a kiss?” The principle had said while following it up by stating if anyone was truly uncomfortable they didn't have to participate, it was the person’s choice to participate in the kissing booth.

You spent the day preparing the booth and painting it for the carnival tomorrow. You were nervous about it even though the kissing booth was your idea. You only suggested it becasue you thought it would be a great way to raise money since everyone on the girls and boys teams were well know. Plus you thought you could get out of it. nope, if your best friend Mina was participating there was no way she would let you out of it since she knew if you were really uncomfortable with it you wouldnt have thought of the idea yourself. “Too bad so sad” she said while you poured. The girls team would be the ones in the booth Saturday morning and the boys in the booth in the afternoon. Your time was scheduled for noon and youd be in there for fifteen minutes.

You werent just nervous because you had to kiss people, but what if no one wanted to kiss you? What if the entire fifteen minutes you had no one would show up? Just lines and lines for Mina who was right after you. You would feel so embarrassed and it might wreck your self esteem. You sigh and wipe off a bit of paint where you spilled and fixed your other mistakes.

“This looks amazing y/n!” (Noya/tendou/kuroo/Bo) said as he came over to you and you laughed softly “really? Thanks. It isnt hard though it’s just two colors” he laughs and picks up the paint brush with red on the end and placed a bit on your nose and you gasp, your cheeks flushing “doesnt mean you arent good at it!” he says and you smile softly. Somehow just his presence seemed to calm you down “thank you” you said softly and he nods with a grin. you take the white and paint a stripe down his cheek and then giggle as he gasps in shock.

Somehow in the paint fight ended up with him holding your hands above your head and painting doodles on your face while you chuckled and stared up at him. He was so pretty, you didnt get much time to appreciate his looks but you thanked whatever gods were above for this chance

“Hey! Save it for the booth!” His Coach calls out and you feel your face flush as he just laughs above you and rolls off you “sorry coach!” he replies and you avoid eye contact, too embarrassed for being caught goofing off.

“The booth is going to be amazing tomorrow” he says and helps you wash your brushes. “I hope so” you whisper softly, your anxieties coming back. When you’re done you walk him to the gym door so he can head to practice “Hey” he says softly and you look up at him “i’ll see you at the booth tomorrow, okay?” he says with a grin and it makes your stomach flop and your heart race. Your cheeks feel warm as you smile back at him “i’ll-” you clear your throat so you can sound more confident and then grin “i’ll be looking forward to it”

You couldnt sleep, nervous for the kissing booth but now you were nervous because you knew at least ONE person would be there in your line. You didnt even care if you had no other people who wanted to kiss you because you knew your crush was going to be there. At least you hoped that was what he meant.

That morning you made sure you wore your favorite outfit and put on a little perfume, you did your hair your favorite way so you could have more confidence in yourself and at the end of getting ready you felt actually really good about yourself. You looked in the mirror and smiled, maybe today would be the day you would kiss your crush.

Mina shaked your shoulders and squealed “are you ready?!” she said and pushed you towards the booth you had been abiding all day a long “nooooo” is his you respond and she just laughs. “Time to switch!” she sings and your Captain laughs at the boos that Mina get and she waves “sorry boys” she says and pats your shoulder as she exits the booth “good luck” she says and you smile and swallow hard. “Now it’s time for y/n!” Mina sings and you walk through the booth, pausing for a moment when you hear whistles and cheers which was the opposite of what you were expecting. You take a seat on the stool and feel your cheeks flush as the first boy steps up and hands you a red ticket and then presses his lips to yours for a second.

After five minutes kissing didnt even feel like kissing anymore. You lost count of the people who wanted to kiss you but after a few more minutes the line ends and you get a break. You look at your phone to check how much time you have left. 4 minutes to go. You felt your heart begin to shrink when you thought he wouldn’t come. You were distracted by a text from Mina you didnt notice someone approaching until he spoke.

Nishinoya

“Is this booth open?” he asks with a chuckle and your eyes snap up as a smile spreads across your lips “i thought you werent gonna make it” you say with a lilt in your voice and he laughs “how could i miss this? I get to kiss the most beautiful girl not to mention my long time crush” you feel your cheeks flush “i've been waiting for you all day, not to mention i won you this!” he pulls up a small teddy bear and your eyes widen with a chuckle “really! That’s so sweet Noya!” he gets a little nervous now, he confessed his feelings and you didn't say anything about it yet. He feels his face flush as he fumbles with his ticket in his hands. “So.. uh.. Yeah” he says and rocks on his toes as he looks at his ticket. You laugh and hold out your left hand for the ticket with a small smile. He grins as his cheeks dust darker pink as he places the piece of paper gently in your palm. You hop off the stool and lean across the booth to cup his cheek “i’ve been waiting all day for you” you whisper and then you press your lips to his.

Your lips softly rest against his for a moment before you’re pulling back “no, wait” he says softly and cups your cheeks, pulling them back to his own. His tongue touches your bottom lip and you meet it with your own, deepening the kiss and humming in happiness as your lips move together

“Hello?!” the boy behind him asks annoyed and you pull apart with blushing cheeks “sorry guys y/n’s time is over!” Mina says from behind you. You dont know when she appeared but you felt embarrassed anyway. You wave to the long line of guys that had appeared and they all looked mad as Nishinoy just looked like he was in heaven as he walked around the side of the booth to meet you at the back. “Hi” you say shyly and he smiles “hi beautiful” he says you blush “I really like you, Yuu” you whisper with a shy laugh and he takes your hand, lacing your fingers together. “I would hope so! You kissed me like it!” you laugh and rock your shoulder into his playfully “wanna go get some cotton candy?” he asks and you laugh “yes! That sounds amazing. Then maybe we could ride the ferris wheel”

Tendou

“Helloooo” he says happily while waving his ticket slowly in front of your phone “aren’t phones against the rules?” you laugh and roll your eyes “you’re here” you say softly and he smiles and runs a hand through his hair “here i am!” he says with a laugh that shows his anxiety. You take his ticket and then reach up and run your hands through his hair “can i tell you something?” you ask, grateful there isn’t anyone behind him right now. He nods, his ruby eyes shining as they stare into yours “I’ve been waiting for you Satori” you say and laugh shyly and he cups your cheeks, pressing his lips against yours softly. Its soft and sweet and when you pull back he’s pulling your lips back to his again and again, quickly peppering kisses against your lips as you chuckle. “Tendou?” he kisses you and hums in response “maybe” kiss kiss “we should” more kisses “tendou!” mina shouts and he pulls back to look behind you as he still holds your face “take her away, her time is over” tendou shouts for joy and hops through the booth window, taking your hand and leading you away as you chuckle “lets get some lunch and talk about how much you love me” he says and you laugh “sounds good to me” you respond and squeeze his hand. He looks to you with a gasp before his face turns into a grin “and obviously i’ll talk about how much i love you back. It wont just be about me” you laugh “i know, i could tell how much you liked me from those kisses”

Kuroo

“Hey there cutie” he says and you laugh as you shove your phone in your pocket. He always had a way of taking away all your anxiety. You smile up at him as he hands you a red ticket. “Glad you could finally make it Tetsu” you joke as you take his ticket, placing it in the basket with all the others. “I told you id be here” he said with a smile as he leaned his elbows on the booth and smiled at you now he was your height. “And here i thought you were just waiting to kiss all the girls” he hums and reaches out to tuck your hair behind your ear “nah, i only wanna kiss you. I mean, why would i want to kiss anyone else when i have you?” you hop off the stool and lean closer “and how are you sure you even have me?” you whisper and he cups your cheek softly “you have no idea how bad I am hoping” he says, his eyes showing how much vulnerability he is hiding with his teasing “same here” you whisper as he cups your cheeks and presses his lips to yours. The kiss ends sooner than you hoped but the way he is smiling melts your heart “are you done here yet?” he asks with a chuckle and mina behind you yells out “yes! She is! Go on!” she ushers you out of the booth. He holds his hand out to you and you take it with a smile, lacing your fingers together “I guess you were right” you say and he laughs “about what?’ he asks and you squeeze his hand as a blush dusts your cheeks “you have me”

Bokuto

“Hey!” he shouts and you look up at him “no hey hey hey?” you ask as you stand from the stool and smile. He laughs and scratches behind his head “i’m just a little nervous” he says with a shy laugh “hey” you say softly and he meets your eye with his cheeks blushing “I was really hoping you’d come” you say softly, your heart racing. “Really?” he asks and leans forward, placing his ticket on the booth edge and you laugh with a nod. You raise your hand and use your finger to tell him to come closer which he does with a smile and you cup his cheek with one hand while leaning into his opposite ear “i really, really like you Kou” you whisper and he hums in excitement “i like you too!” he says and you laugh “maybe i should kiss you now” he says and you nod as you feel yourself get twice as nervous. He cups your cheeks “so beautiful” he whispers before he presses his lips to yours. You hum at the same time and then chuckle as you kiss him deeper. He pulls back and you chuckle as you wipe his bottom lip with your thumb. Mina taps your shoulder “you’re done hun, now go get your man” she says and you laugh as you make your way around to Bo who excitedly takes your hand “do you wanna maybe turn this into a date?” he asks and you smile with a nod “I’d love that Kou”

~ending~

You spend the whole day with him and watch the sunset form the Ferris wheel, stopping right at the top for you guys. “Wait” you say and turn to him “weren’t you supposed to be in the kissing booth too?” You ask and he chuckles softly “yeah I ditched. I don’t want to kiss anyone else but you” you smile, your cheeks flushing and heart dancing at his words “well if I knew that in the beginning” you say with a laugh and he cups your cheek “you only wanna kiss me too?” He asks softly, his eyes drifting to your lips as you nod. “Then maybe you should be my girl” he says and you laugh “yeah maybe I should” you say just before his lips press against yours for the umpteenth time already today, sending warm fuzzies to your heart and spawned more butterflies you were sure to fly out and into his mouth.

Take Me Home (4/5)

Andy Barber x Reader (Post!Defending Jacob)

Summary: After the unfortunate events of the trial and after, a depressed Andy Barber decides to call it quits and start a mundane life far away from Newton. He decides it is best to have a fresh start away from prying eyes and alone, but he never thought his caring neighbor (and her son) would change all of that.

Chapter Warnings: MAJOR D.J. SPOILERS (BOOK Ending), Reminiscing the Loss of a loved one.

Andy soon came to realise that walking out on you was never ever really a solution. In reality he knew with his current state, without you he was doomed.

He needed you because he has no one. He needed you because it was his chance at something new; something no one would understand.

He needs you because in between all those shenanigans in these few months, he was falling hard for you.

But he did what he had to that day because he just wanted some space. In his head it seemed to be fine, but alas it hurt like a bitch.

On the other hand, Nikolai had no idea what was going on. It only took him minutes to fall in love with his new room. The lights, the colour of the room made him so jubilant, later on only to see you a bit unhappy. You were able to deflect from your son’s questions, but how on earth were you going to tell him that Andy won’t be meeting him anymore.

It hurt. So hard. All you needed was one conversation with him to settle things away but he wanted his space and so you half heartedly respected it.

Nikolai on the other hand was hitting a real low seeing you unhappy the whole day sporting stuffy red eyes. Like any other kid, Nikolai jumped to the conclusion that their mother is crying because she got a boo-boo or lost her favourite toy.

But that little brain of his pieced it slowly once he realised Andy never visited them for any of the dinner nights.

“Mommy pwese don’t cwy” his nimble fingers wiping your fat tears rolling down your cheek.

“I know peaches. I’m trying so hard to get Andy back okay. I’m sorry for crying around you like this baby.”

“B-but Wandi pwomised he neva gonna hurt you mommi…”

“Oh Niko,” you wiped the cookie crumbs around his tiny lips, “Your little brain won’t get it. It’s okay.”

“No. Not owkay. Wandi hurt you. Wandi bad. I don’t wike Wandi cahr now.”

You couldn’t help but surpass a giggle. “Niko. Andy is never bad. Never. He is just feeling sad and lonely. We just need to tell him we have him and love him okay?”

Love? Too soon. Maybe it’s more than like but it was too late to change it for your son and for yourself. You always saw how Niko’s eyes sparkled whenever Andy was around; he was soon accepting him to be a member of the household.

“Owkay,” he dug his head to your neck, “I wike Wandi and his cahr.”

–

The following week were hard for you and him. From sharing couches to kisses, now the only thing you both shared were small talks.

Yes. Small Talk. Or texts rather.

Andy told you he finally found a therapist to speak to and slowly expressed his wish to still visit Nikolai till you both figured out what was happening between you two.

Why did this have to get so complicated?

You on the other hand replied he was free to do so because to be real, the little kid missed him too. So, the next day he asked you for permission if he could take Nikolai on a car drive.

You had no idea what would go on in his head at times. From seeing Andy’s perspective, he was denied of the choice of telling you his story. It was his fucked-up childhood, his story that he wanted to tell you. Not a pity tatter-tale gossip story that was to be heard from your characterless, ex-husband.

Andy later in the evening sent a message that he was ready, and you saw the man your heart so longed for.

His eyes were back to being sunken, those blue irises not having the guts to meet yours. His hair was ruffled like he just woke up from a nap. Looking at him made you realise how much your hands were twitching to just hug him. You were reminded of the first night you spent at his house; that blue sweater he gave you while you two made out on his couch for the first time was now worn by him.

You walked towards him as you held Nikolai’s convertible baby seat to be fixed in his car and he was kind enough to open the door for you.

Andy on the other hand knew he had to- no, wanted to strike a conversation with you; but didn’t know what to say.

Hey long time huh?

Y/N. Hey, how are you?

Hey listen…

Nope nothing came out of his mouth while you fixed the seat.

He took in your appearance too; that ray of sunshine that beamed from your smile was non-existent; replaced with a forlorn look that he hated to see on you. The past few days were definitely much harsher on you than it was for him. Andy knew he couldn’t get any more foolish. He had to get back to what you two had before.

He needed it.

“Have we gone back to square one? Because of what? My ex-husband?”

Andy came out of his tiny reverie and focussed back on you. He didn’t pay attention, but he did realise you said something bitter that meant to sting him.

“Honey listen-”

“Oh, don’t you honey me Andy. How could you? How could you be so- so-“ you tried so hard to not break into a stream of tears.

How could you be so hateful to yourself Andy? Did you not trust me?

“How could you just desert me like that? D-did you think I was going to throw away my second chance at life for something you father did? Did you want to throw away your second chance at life because of your father who has no role in our lives right now?”

He sighed dejectedly, disappointed with himself. Hearing your voice break wrecked him, “I know Y/N. I was an asshole that day, leaving you without an explanation.” He found himself taking steps towards you and cupping your cheek, tilting his forehead onto yours, “I am so sorry hon- Y/N. I am sorry.”

You bit your lip and looked up at him, his eyes still closed; now content that he and you could just touch each other after a very long time.

Any other situation, you wouldn’t let a man walkover you so easily after fucking up. But this was Andy. The man who made you believe in second chances. You gave him a first chance already, and now it was again your turn to give him one more.

“You weren’t an asshole Andy,” you held on to his hands, “Its just, I don’t know…”

“I know you know exactly what you want to say Y/N. Just say it.”

You could hear Nikolai running around his circles with his unicorn plush doll behind you, “I was angry when you left, but at the same time I tried to understand your point of view, your emotions and your feelings about this whole situation. But I think or- or I know that I didn’t deserve to be ghosted like that Andy, because I liked you for you, not what your father did, especially when we had something so good going on.”

He removed his hand from your cheeks and looked down like a disappointed child. He knew he was at fault and so he didn’t say anything; head hung in shame looking at the little, carefree boy that he loved so dearly.

“It’s only had if you want it to be,”

“What do you mean?”

You saw a glint of that eagerness that Andy always had with you before, “I told that we had something good going on? It’s only had if you want it to be…“

Andy took some time to find his words. Again. It was the second time he fucked up so bad and here you were, taking him back even after he exploded like a mine. Was this woman for real?

“Of course, I want this honey. I always want us. You’re always so good to me.”

He reached out to graze your cheeks, but he was blocked by your squealing son.

“Cahr Wandi! Can we gooo?”

You were surprised that you weren’t interrupted by your son sooner, but nevertheless your son’s new founded patience was found to be a blessing in disguise.

The cutest sight unfurled before you as Andy made grabby hands at your son, only for the latter to be scooped into Andy’s arms like a cocoon.

“Come on Y/N, join us wont you? For a drive?”

You shook your head, “I think I’ll pass.”

“Y/N. I want to really make it up to you. Like real time. Please come with us?”

“I know Andy, but who will make dinner if I come along with you boys?”

Andy slowly grinned at your implications. He never ceased to be impressed by your gracious generosity and the small acts of kindness.

“I’m not mad, not as much as I was before I promise,” you dared to but tiptoed to place a kiss on his cheek, “We can talk over dinner today.” You saw how his cheek sported a cherry red tint, slowly creeping up till his ear. A teenager in a old man’s body.

“Peaches,” you turned to your son right now jumped into Andy’s arms, nuzzling his face in that soft sweater, “Be good and behave okay peaches? Don’t trouble Wandi- I mean Andy for anything on the way okay?”

Everything drowned inside a chorus of laughter when Andy realised how you had called his name. Niko had no idea what the humour was for but joined the chorus when he found his two most favourite people in the world giggling.

Were you forgoing all that pent-up sadness that this man gave you this week? Yes. Yes you were.

And you would soon realise that it was the best decision you made.

Hours passed by and the boys came back home. Nikolai was gleefully pulling onto Andy’s beard and curiously asking him when he was going to get a ‘bweard’ like him and heard both the boys animatedly inhaling; the smell of aromatic food that stirring their tummies.

“MOMMY IS MAKING PAWSTAHH!”

Andy was so confused. You always made the best Italian food for your child.

“Let’s just say after that episode we had with Chad, I was cooking boring greens and ordering takeout for the little one and me. I lost the will to cook. Thought I’ll revive the poor kid’s taste buds.”

It was always these small gestures that pulled you towards Andy; like this one. He tugged you by your shoulders and placed a soft kiss on your forehead and then cupped your cheeks so lovingly.

“Sorry Momma bear.”

“Shhh. It’s okay grumpy cat,” you winked.

Dinner on the other hand did go relatively smooth than you expected it to. Andy explained himself, his feelings and what he felt that day when he left you and tried his level best to process your emotional state that day.

The baked pasta was licked clean by your two boys and you while Andy also spoke about his past few days with his therapist, who seemed to help him more than he possibly could ever think of. Over a glass of wine, Andy held your hand promising you that he wouldn’t do any more foolish stunts that ended up hurting all of us in the process.

But as you and Andy were doing and drying the dishes, you felt that he was holding back something.

“You’re doing that thing.”

“What thing.”

“That thing you used to do when I used to pick movies that you don’t like.”

His grin could make your whole body mushy and soft like a teenager having their first crush “So? Is that my fault honey?” he feigned hurt, glad that he could now call you back with his favourite sweet name.

“Nah,” you playfully tapped his shoulder. “You give me that look so prominently so that I understand that you want something from me, or you want me to do something for you.”

Andy looked so lost and you knew something was biting his thoughts because he enjoyed doing domestic chores with you; his favourite being you washing the dishes and him drying them out and keeping them inside the cupboards. He didn’t reply until the last wine glass was kept inside the cabinet

“It’s just-” hesitated Andy. You waited patiently for him to find his words.

“It’s about Jacob.”

“Oh.”

For a startling few seconds, you held your breath; thinking about Andy’s son was something wrecked your thoughts and heart every single time.

“My therapist says that I haven’t, you know, fully processed Jacob’s death. Like I’m holding on to something. But parents don’t, right? They can’t move on from their child’s death right? It’s practically impossible.”

You weren’t sure what to say but you nodded, gripping on to his arm and gesturing to sit with you to the couch where little Niko dozed off with two of his stuffed dolls clenched in his hand.

“But she did say one statement that made sense to me, I don’t know. It made sense about how we can’t forget our children who are no longer with us but we can learn to accept the fact that they are no longer with us.”

Oh bub, how much have you been through? “Do you agree with this Andy?” You asked him to keep yourself strong during this conversation for him, and you did.

“Of course, yeah. Maybe. But the thing is I think I haven’t accepted it honey.”

You took both of his hands and squeezed reassuringly, “I have no idea what you are going through bub but I’m glad you are talking to me about this. Take your time; its going to be hard, but I’m right here okay? Whatever you need, I’ll do within my best ability.”

He hummed, but still hesitant.

“Andy its okay, tell me. Talk to me bub.”

He squeezed your palms even more tightly, turning towards you completely. “C-can I ask you a favour? I mean you can say no, I will understand.”

I’m ready to give you all the happiness in the world to you bubba. “Anything for you Andy? Tell me now.”

He didn’t meet your gaze, but instead shifting his focus to trace your knuckles, “My therapist told me to visit Jacob’s grave whenever I was ready, to mourn him, to accept he is no longer with me and you know…talk to him I guess. To process my emotions. And um…Oh god I am a bubbling mess Y/N.”

“Hey its okay baby take your time. There is no pressure.”

“I can’t do this alone honey…I need you there with me. Can you come with me to the graveyard?”

How could you ever say no to this solemn situation?

“Of course, honey. Absolutely anything you need.”

And what seemed like after ages, Andy Barber enveloped you into his signature bear hug. Both of you left a huge sigh of breath, relief washing over that both of you were slowly getting back on track.

Until you heard a rugged whimpers from the little boy beside Andy.

You didn’t want to tell Andy about this, but Nikolai’s nightmares were back and the little boy was finding it difficult to sleep at night. The new nursery still did not work for him, so he ended up sleeping on top of your chest; your heartbeat probably soothing him to sleep.

But Andy the experienced father he was, quickly scooped him into his arms and started cradling him, rocking him side by side with his arms protecting him, humming a familiar soft tune that seemed to calm you in the process too. You saw how Niko’s head was cushioned between Andy’s pecs and muscles, slowly relaxing and nuzzling into his touch.

Niko’s scrunched up face was now back to a peaceful baby lost in slumber.

Andy met your gaze and blinked at you with a smile and it conveyed so much than you think.

We got this baby. We all gonna get through this.

–

The decision to take Nikolai along with you and Andy was refuted by the latter saying that a young boy like him shouldn’t be visiting such desolate place.

“Children are the embodiment of new birth, new life. And graveyards, quite opposite.”

But you knew secretly he also didn’t was your son to see him in such a vulnerable position. You were grateful for the fact that the rough patch between you and Andy was solved; for the little boy saw Andy as his new father figure with Chad gone away with a new girlfriend.

Talking about Chad, he did not make efforts to meet his son; and you didn’t bother contacting him. Better off without him you wondered.

The drive to Jacob’s grave was a couple of hours away and ride in itself was a quiet one. Andy and you were informally dressed in dull colours, hearts dull too. You knew it was a big step for Andy and you were going to support him till he thinks he is over it. Car windows were rolled down, the fresh air making efforts to refresh you both.

You could also see Andy’s urge to interlink his hands with you while your drove and you did; Gripping onto his palm or occasionally rubbing his shoulders or thighs throughout the ride would help him calm down and relax his creased forehead.

When you both got down from the car it was so hard to read Andy’s thoughts. He came over to you and interlinked your palms and made way to the place where his son was buried.

Jacob’s grave was flowerless when arrived. Andy soon fixed that after leaving a wreath of Jacob’s most favourite flowers, daisies.

A graveyard, a place of death, sprouting trees filled with life here and there. The irony of life.

You didn’t know the boy but the aura of the graveyard, the impersonal feeling towards the dead even though you have no idea who they were beneath the stones made you heart sink. It then came to your senses.

The boy was just fourteen.

Both of you sat down near his grave, not caring about the grass and mud staining your clothes. He finally took away his palms from yours.

Andy spoke some kind words, rekindling memories of his son’s favourite pastime, his favourite stories and one of his embarrassing yet kind-hearted moments. He sought an apology on behalf of his mother, trying to make Jacob understand that his mother loved him so much, that it unfortunately ended tragically.

Another thought popped into your head, how couples these days separate over trivial matters, over materialistic matters, and infidelity. But Andy? He separated because his wife- No no. You didn’t want to complete that thought.

But after a while passed and you decided give Andy some needed space. He was probably going to be anxious, but it was for the best.

“Andy, you feel a bit better?” you whispered.

“You can say probably.”

Here we go. “I’m going to leave you two alone okay?”

“What? Honey. If I can’t-”

“You can Andy. He is your son, remember that. So, don’t hold back. I know you wanted me to be here with you and I did and I’m so proud of you, bubba,” you stroked his hair. “But unintentionally you may be holding back on expressing because I’m here and that’s normal.”

Why are you so good to me?

“I’m just going to be near the parking lot okay? I’m not going anywhere,” you reassured him with a peck on his cheek and made your way back.

You shed your tears while you sat inside his car, thinking about the little boy. It was difficult thinking of losing a loved one that you gave birth to. He was too young. Too fucking young.

Oh, this cruel world, how you hated it so immensely right now.

Half hour passed by and you saw Andy making his way towards the car. It was so strange to think of this, but he didn’t look red eye rimmed like you; he looked the same with much more solemnity. He didn’t cry and that slightly bothered you. Maybe you had to accept the fact that different people process emotions differently.

He got into the car and took in your red eyes. He knew you had cried. Seeing you like that made his pull your lips onto his for just a chaste kiss, the first time you two felt each other’s lips after an eon. All he breathed into your lips was that we are going to be okay and drove back home with no word exchanged. For the upcoming hours, the fresh air offered you comfort, drying out those spilt tears along with the lingering touch of his palms; interlinked like their souls.

After coming back, you took advantage of Andy’s silence and maneuvered him to your home. He seated himself on the couch pulling out his phone and wallet from his pants and placed it on the coffee table.; trying to steal a quick nap while you picked up Nikolai from your neighbour Mr. Arthur.

Andy sleeping gave you an immense sense of peace, but for the little boy in your hands; not so much.

“WANDI!!!!”

He groggily woke up thanks to Nikolai running towards him, lying on his chest like he does with you. “Hey buddy.”

“You home yaay!” Probably meant that he was excited to see the man in house like the usual dinner nights. Nikolai calling him and telling he was home pricked him and at the same time felt so right. As cliché as it sounds, he always has heard this quote where Home is never a place with four walls to cover your head; home is where the heart is.

His heart was with you and Nikolai.

After eating Andy, and you began to do your dish washing routine, this time he washing the dishes. He was slow, but that was alright, you had all the time in the world.

Niko on the other hand was singing all the rhymes he learnt from daycare in different pitches, earning a chuckle from the both of you here and there. He was also carelessly playing with Andy’s phone and wallet, both of you seeing that the little boy had dropped all the contents of the wallet on to the floor. Once they were done Andy picked up the falling things patiently without chiding the little one like any other adult would.

He picked up his Dollar bills, receipts and then a forgotten thin strip of a photo roll.

It was him and Jacob.

The roll had four pictures of him and his son posing for the silliest pictures, the first three with their tongues sticking out in the goofiest angle possible. The last one however was so pure; Andy giving a forehead kiss to Jacob because he was so proud of his son, remembering he had bagged the highest grade in English that term in school.

Minutes pass and he didn’t notice his waterworks brimming. A blink and they would fall down.

And they did, when he heard Nikolai nudging him by the thigh. “Why you cwyin Wandi?”

That startled you enough to stop whatever it was you were doing and went to see what was happening.

Oh bubba.

You sat near Andy, touching his thigh for comfort while your son got closer to the photo that was in Andy’s slightly quaking hands.

“Who that Wandi?”

“Th-thats my son buddy. His name was Jacob.”

“Can he play with me Wandi?”

Everything just pricked. The boy’s innocent questions and Andy’s realisation of his emotions. This was too much to bear.

“No buddy he can’t-“

A hand around his shoulder, it was you. When he looked up his eyes were blurry from the tears that were falling. He was so upset he didn’t even realise you were next to him. It was you. Only you.

It was then you realised it finally that it hit Andrew that his son was dead.

“You don’t have to answer that Andy. He’s just a kid. It’s okay.”

The little one feeling that he had said something wrong hugged his arms with his little arms. “I’m sowwy Wandi. Don’t cwy.”

“I’m not buddy, I-I’m not.” He reassured the kid, and falsely assuring himself too.

“Wandi, I’m feelin sleepy…” “Yeah, let’s get you to bed buddy,” he cooed with his quivering voice.

“Andy I’ll take him-” But he refused to and took the child. You took a few minutes to pull yourself together after witnessing Andy so vulnerable. Even in these moments, he took care of your son. When you reached the nursery, Andy was whispering a lullaby to a dozed off Niko for a good ten minutes. He even spoke to the little boy, telling him that the measly Audi car painting he did in the room was going to protect him and his nightmares; and the boy believed because Andy said so.

Few minutes later and Andy didn’t refuse to hold back.

“I held Jacob like Nikolai, put him to sleep like Nikolai. My sweet precious baby, my innocent child Jacob. He didn’t do anything and he is away from me Y/N. Far far away-”

Andy let out a loud whimpering cry, the sound swallowed when he buried his head into your neck and your tears began streaming, him sobbing uncontrollably the next minute.

Andy and your tears began streaming; you pulled yourself together soon but Andy? He was weeping uncontrollably. You only could take him in your arms and offer him comfort. No words could heal his wounds instantly. He buried his face into your neck, his safe place, which made you remember the initial days with Andy when he lent a shoulder when you cried. Now it was your turn.

You whispered in ears how it was best not to do this near Niko and maneuvered Andy to your room. He held onto your arms as you took him to your room. You urged Andy to talk to you if the visit to the grave was still bothering him. He sought recluse in your safe place again, lying down on the bed, head tucked in your neck.

“Andy you can tell me anything. I promise it won’t affect whatever is between us.”

It was too twisted, he was distraught. He ranted about Laurie and how she unravelled into killing her own son. He slipped some details of how Laurie always kept bringing up past incidents of his son to prove that Jacob was the possible killer. He kept blaming himself that he was too weary with Laurie and that he should’ve seen her actions. Your whole body pricked; he was crying as he said all this.

You couldn’t imagine Nikolai and yourself in that situation. It brought tears to you eyes but wiped them off before he could see it. You let him talk as much as he wanted to, calming and soothing Andy in the process, running your fingers through his hair gently. You comforted him as much as you could and kept reminding yourself that this was the first time he came to his senses and realised he was crying out for his dead son; and so you were patient.

“My own wife murdered him Y/N. My Jacob. If I had been more attentive”

“Shhhhh Andy,” you cooed into his ear “Your circumstances were horrible. Don’t blame yourself bubba, none of this was your fault okay? Jacob’s death was out of your hands, it was an unfortunate accident Andy.“

Andy could stay all day in your embrace, his head on your gentle shoulders while your soft hair caresses made him doze off to sleep.

But his head felt like it was going to explode and he couldn’t let you see that.

“I’m going back home honey. I think I need to be alone tonight. I- I am not abandoning you okay, I promise, I’ll be okay tomorrow.”

“Andy are you sure? Stay with me, I don’t want to leave you alone.”

“I- I think I need to be alone for sometime you know? Please don’t be upset.”

“I’m never ever upset okay? As long as you are sure bubba; whatever you think is best for you okay? This house is always open to you.”

Kisses on the cheek were exchanged before he left your home. But you stayed awake, in the hopes he’ll be back because deep down you knew, he needed you.

You would give him space, and why not?

He was your home.

–

Andy soon realised he couldn’t. Staying alone was the worst decision he made.

Yes he did get the desired space he absolutely needed for like an hour and he did try to cease his crying, but his heart, oh his heart was pounding like nobody’s business. Anxious. Alone. Not cared for.

The walls of his room closed around him, his breathing becoming rugged, the laughter of his dead son echoing in his head. But he remembered he was cared for. By you. He had only you now.

He wanted, needed your soothing embraces, your kind words, your optimism, your affection. Everything.

He just wanted you now.

He had to forget. It was a bit past midnight, but it was you. His reliable rock; soon to become the love of his life. He had to forget what he was going though and in a moment of desperation, he texted you. His thought was confirmed, you would always be there for him.

—

Last and Final Part 5 on its way :)

Head First

Angry, confused, and bitter Trinity grew hate for the man that left her with this seed. She tried to get rid of it 4 months ago, thinking life would be back to normal. She would work out a lil bit, lose the weight and go slap Shawn back to his senses. But it didn't happen that way. In fact, she had met a new man. Long dreds, shining gold teeth, tattoos everywhere, and gave her more dope then she can handle. When they first met she got fucked up at a party. Trying to forget about Shawn. Trying to self abort the baby. The internet said drinking and partying can terminate pregnancy. But this baby was worse than the roach that wouldn't die. So when she met Junior, at the party and realized he was actually an enemy of Shawns, she decided to spill the beans on how grimey he is. See, back in the day Shawn fucked Juniors ol lady. She had twins. And he never got over it. He was always down to hurt Shawn in some sort of way if he could. But Shawn was not to be played with. You really got to catch him sleeping. And he never sleeps. Knowing how careful she had to be to get Shawn back, she told Junior he got her friend pregnant, and she wants to fight her to make Shawn mad. "Nah man." Junior said. "That's dumb. One thing he care about is his kids. Give her this sack." he said as he threw it at her. "If she still pregnant and he know about it that mean he gon let her have it. But give her this sack and I bet she wont birth shit. Dat nigga gon boo hoo cry booyyy I cant wait to see his ass hurtin ol puss ass." he grinned. She had never done drugs. But this could end it all. And get revenge on Shawn. "This shit aint gon have me, I just need to get this situated and im off this shit." she told herself as she smoked the dope in her car. The high hit her so hard she passed out and woke up to Junior knocking on her window. "AYE! TAKE YO DRUNK ASS HOME MAN ITS 6AM!" Lowkey ashamed she got it together and rolled the window down. "My bad man. Aye I think I lost that sack gimme one more man my bad that Ciroc is on me." Junior knew the look that high gave people. He had gained a customer. He smirked and said "Mhm here. I'll fuck witcha." He walked away rapping to himself, knowing she would be back. And just like clock work, she was. Every other day. She couldn't help herself. It felt like the perfect escape. Before she knew it the end of the year was approaching. By this time shes almost 9 months along, and made a fool of herself every time she attempted to talk to Shawn. The holidays were approaching, so she decided to spend some time with the only people who would love her, even when she didn't love herself. "You know I be missing you why you only come when its food?" her daddy pinched her cheek. She laughed and kissed his bald head. He adored her. A preacher that could make hell shake but would cry when they got whoopins. He had a heart of pure gold. "Make sure you wash your hands and change your shirt before you help with this food. Why you got on them big ol clothes anyway I thought you were out of that tomboy stage...?" her mother teased. She had always been a chubby girl that could rock boy clothes and still be cute. Trying not to do anything that signaled her dishonesty she replied "mama you know I like TLC this how Lisa Left Eye dresses." laughing and doing a twist of her hips. "Mhm. Ya look more like Lisa Left & Lost It but okay. Yall think im dumb." she mumbled. That was it. Mama knew. And she knew mama knew. But aint no way she was gon admit it. Not around the other family members anyway. She and her sister Melodie were close and they always had been. She began to worry about how she would react knowing there is a whole baby being hidden. They told each other everything. But this one Trinity had to deal with on her own. She was determined not to say a word. She hadn't even gone to the doctor the entire pregnancy. She had a plan. All she had to do is wait it out. The time was near. She felt it in the pressure her lower belly was experiencing. The sharp pains in her back. It was close. And she was ready. She tried to quickly walk away so mama wouldn't see the shame on her face, but Uncle Leroy caught it. "She pregnant! And out of wedlock at that! Told yall she should have came to that shut in service we woulda been praying that lust demon right on out of her!" he blurted out. Overwhelmed with rage and embarrassment from his statement putting her on blast she shouted back "SHUT UP! THIS WHY I DONT COME WHEN YALL ARE HERE! MIND YO BUSINESS! AINT YOU ON WIFE NUMBER 3? YOU ALWAYS BEING JUDGEMENTAL AND RUNNING YO MOUTH! I CANT STA.." "HUSH GIRL!" Mama interrupted. She knew how Trinity felt about some of the family. And she understood. But disrespect she could not condone. "Go sit on my bed baby. Rest ya nerve, hea?" she softly spoke before she kissed her forehead. Already too embarrassed she picked up her purse and walked out. "Where you going? Its Thanksgiving you not gon stay?" her mom yelled from the screen door with her hands on her hips. "No mama im sorry. Happy Thanksgiving. Tell Melodie I love her." she said trying not to cry. Putting the car in reverse she thought about her plan one more time, reminding herself that she has every reason to follow through. She drove 4 hours back to the apartment she shared with a friend and laid down. She felt so uncomfortable. But tried to fall asleep anyway. Thinking she had to pee, she jumped up heading to the bathroom. "EEEW What the fuck why cant I hold my pee?!!" The liquid was running out of her faster than her feet could run to the toilet. Finally she got in the bathroom, slipping on the wet spots she was making with her trail. She sat on the toilet breathing hard, dizzy, and feeling like she had to take the biggest shit. "I aint had cheese in months I know im not constipated, this shit hurts what the fuck?" Within her next breath a contraction hit, and she became aware of what was happening. Eyes growing big and knees starting to shake, she wiped as much of the liquid as she could. She ran to her closet and pulled out her dirty clothes bin. Behind it was her bag, packed with an extra change of clothes for her after she delivered. She put the bag in the passenger seat and drove to the hospital. She sat in the parking lot for a few minutes, trying to get her mind right before going in. "Lets go Trinity. You got the plan figured out." She thought to herself. Taking one more deep breath as the contraction passed, she got out and walked into the emergency department. A blue eyed blonde haired lady grabbed her hand and said " I know that look you're in labor. Come on I just cleaned out this room. We need to take vitals and get you hooked up on a monitor. How ya feeling?" Starting to wobble from all the pain Trinity mumbled "Im fine." In reality she was far from fine. It felt like the baby was right on the verge of coming out. "Ms. I have a question." She stammered. "When I have this baby how long will it take to get parents to pick it up? You can give me the papers now & by the time it comes out a mama and daddy should be here right?" she almost smilied thinking this was the perfect solution. That was her plan. Just give it to somebody. Its always commercials about people wanting kids. It was a no brainer. Laughter snapped her out of her happy place she had briefly found. "No honey. Bless your heart. That takes time. You should have began that process when you found out about the baby." she continued laughing. "Unless theres a case of accidental death, looks like you're stuck with this one! My assistant will check on you soon, then we will see about managing your pain with an epidural. Sit tight." she closed the door. Hearing those words took Trinity from panic to desperation. Now she had no idea what to do. She played it cool until the nurse walked out. "Ok think bitch THINK!" she said out loud as she leaned back on the bed. "This slow hoe saying accidental death what the hell lady?! Be for real! That's not an option." she smacked her teeth. A pain hit her belly and she put her hand down on her butt. "What the...am I shitting on myself?! OUUUCCHHHH! OH MY GOD AAAH!" She laid back and reached further down and realized....that's hair...The baby was there. And it was coming out. "Oooooh ssshhhiiiit. Ooooooh shhiittt! Shit! Ssshhiiiit! Ok. Chill Trin." She laid quiet, thinking of a new plan. "Knock, Knoooock" A nurse came in. " Just making sure you doing ok. We cant have you pushing out the baby alone we want both of you to make it okay sweetie? I will be back soon." The smiling nurse walked back out. "We want both of you to make it." Those words were ringing in Trinity's head like monkeys with symbols. "I got it." she said. She put her phone in her purse and put her bible in the bottom of it. She couldn't look at it knowing what she was about to do. She looked around the room once more, and laid down. Spreading her legs open she held on to each side of the bed, shut her eyes tight and began to push. She heard what sounded like water balloons hitting the floor. Growing fearful that her time was ticking and the nurses would catch her, she bit down on the sheet and let out a scream while pushing her absolute hardest. Feeling like her heart would explode, and her whole body shaking, finally she felt the release. The baby was out. And falling to the floor. Head First.

i'm a lucky girl. My parents are rich, i lived in a mansion, im a straight A student, i'm captain of the cheer team, all the boys want me, even though i'm taken by none other than Zach Dempsey, every girl wants to look and be like me. I have everything! My family loves me, my parents are still together, and it looks like i'm gonna follow in Jay and Jordan, my older brothers, footsteps, and go to Stanford. I mean my dad already told me i was going to get accepted. But i don't know. I just don't feel like i belong on this planet. In this universe. In this lifetime. I have everything but i'm depressed. I want to die. I’m never really happy. And it's not like i can just tell my parents, they'd tell me i was wrong and that i'm ok and that i have no reason to be depressed. And i can't tell zach, id scare him off. So here i am dealing with this alone. Anyways i guess ill stop being a big suck and go to sleep

~~~~End Journal Entry~~~~

Text:

Loverboy: Good morning babe! I hope you slept well and had great dreams. i just wanted to let you know that i can't wait to see you today and i love you so much. And i miss you too! Even though i saw you yesterday lol I love you Y/N! Y/N: awe thanks boo! I love you and miss you too and i can't wait to see you too!! :* Loverboy: Wanna ride together? Or do you wanna meet at school? Y/N: IDK i think my Rolls-Royce Phantom Serenity beats your audi! Lol lol lol :P Loverboy: so you can pick me up then, little miss perfect ;) Y/N: me and my perfect car will pick up my perfect boyfriend in 5 minutes :)

You left your house, got in your car, plugged your aux cord into your phone and blasted “crossroads” by I Prevail as you headed to zachs. He was outside waiting for you.

“Well good morning handsome” you said as zach sat down

“Well good morning beautiful” zach replied hugging you and kissing your lips.

You drove to school listening to your music, holding zachs hand.

You got to school, got out your car when justin and and bryce walked up to you guys.

“Wow your parents let you take this to school??” Bryce asked looking at your car

“There's not much my parents wont let me do” you said with a smile on your face, deep down you hated it. The fact that you could get away with murder and your parents would still think of you as a saint.

“That car looks like it cost a lot” justin exclaimed looking at the car.

“Roughly 1 million dollars” you replied, hating the fact that you knew he came from nothing and here you are driving a million dollar car.

“What kind of car is that?” Scott asked as he walked up to you guys, with jeff.

“It's a Rolls-Royce Phantom Serenity. Not lets stop gawking over Y/N car and go” zach answered taking your hand leading everyone to the school.

Everyone said Hi and Good morning to you, like always, as you walked into school. You secretly hated it, but whatever, that comes with being the “Happy Popular girl” that you were! You headed to your locker, grabbed your books and headed to your first class.You were happy that it was friday because that meant half day. Only half a day to deal with all these dumbasses, you had to call your peers. Some days you were impressed that you managed to keep your anger and hatred and depression under lock and key as well as you did.

Finally the bell rang signaling it was home time.

Text:

Loverboy: Hey beautiful, got practice so i'll catch a ride with one of the guys. I love you. And i'll see you tonight or tomorrow. Y/N: Have fun i love you

You drove home, not sure what you were feeling. You wanted the emptiness and confusion you felt inside of you to go away. You hated it. You got home and went to your room.

~~~~Journal Entry~~~~

Friday April 14, 2017

I'm so hurt. I don't even know why. I just wanna die. I think, i think i might actually try and kill myself. I'm over feeling lost and alone. And empty. The emptiness is driving me insane. Literally. I'm going crazy over how empty i feel. I love my family and i love zach, but i just can't seem to shake this loneliness away. The fact that everyone likes me drives me insane. I hate the fact that they all like me, and they think i'm some saint. I'm not a saint. I hate being known as the smiley happy girl. Urg here i am ranting again. Feels like im doing this a lot lately. Ranting about everything. About my life. My oh so perfect life.

~~~~End Journal Entry~~~~

You sat on your bed looking at your journal crying. “Why do i feel like this all the time? WHY?” you thought to yourself. You laid down, and cried yourself to sleep! You were woken up by your mother's voice.

“ hey Y/N how was school?”

“Oh hey mom.” you said sitting up. “ school was ok. Whats up?”

“Your father and i are leaving, for a few weeks. A business trip”

“When do you leave?”

“Right away. Im sorry it's last minute. But your father is waiting for me in the car. We love you, be good, and your brothers are just a phone call away, if you need anything.”

Your mom walked out your room, not even looking back. You didn't want to be alone this weekend, not with the mindset you had, but didn't want to pester zach to come over. So you called your oldest brother, Jordan.

“Hey what's up sis, you're on speaker” jordan said

“Hey monster” jay said. He had always called you that.

“Hey guys. I was wondering what you were up to this weekend?”

“Partying” your brothers said in unison.

“Would you be willing to come home?” you asked

“Why?” Jay asked

“Because mom and dad left and their gone for who knows how long. And i just dont want to be alone.”

“Call up zach” Jordan said

“Please guys”

“No way man! You'll be fine! It's not the first time you've been alone and it won't be the last. We dealt with it and you can too.” Jay said almost annoyed

“Ya but you had each other and me! Im ALONE.. Please”

“Y/N stop. You'll be fine! We aren't coming!” Jay replied

“Jordan” you said, before being cut off by Jay

“Bye Y/N” and jay hung up.

You started crying. You hated everything right now. Your parents always being gone, your brothers for being assholes, everyone for thinking you were oh so perfect. You were done waiting for life to be better. You were done waiting for your thoughts to get better. You were gonna fix everything. You went to your bathroom and ran a bath. You went to your parents room and found your dad's razor blades. You walked back to your room, crying. You sat in the tub, fully dressed, holding the razor blade in your hand. You were crying, and didn't hear the door of the bathroom open.

“Y/N what the fuck???” zach yelled

He ran up to you and took the razor blade out of your hand.

“Why? Why would you do this?” zach asked crying

“Why why are you here?” you asked

“Jordan called me. Said you called him and and were practically begging them to come home and he wanted me to come check on you because he was worried.” Zach answered. “And now i see why”

“I'm sorry” you said as zach helped you out the tub.

“Babe, come here” zach said pulling you into a hug.

“I'm so sorry. I'm just.. I'm just so sad. All the damn time. And i hate it. I want to make everything just go away.” you cried

“I love you so much Y/N and im always here for you. Why didn't you tell me any of this?” zach asked you

“I don't know how to. I didn't want to bring you down. I’m fucked up ok?”

“No no NO Y/N you're not. You just need help. And i'm gonna help you get it. When you're ready.” Zach told you, getting you some dry pjs.

He helped you get dressed and led you to your bed.

“Zach i promise, i won't ever do it again.” you said laying down in bed, zach climbing in behind you holding you close.

“I love you Y/N, Never forget that” zach kissed your head, and you both fell asleep.

NYE Rooftop Party @ The Hilton

@kylaeaston @quentin-destjeor @notahero-justahiro @princessarisa @aleenabradley @lane-taylor @markchoisucks @js-paige @emersonxrydel

NYE ROOFTOP PARTY

--------

SADIE: After spending all day setting up her suite for the party with Kyla and Emerson she finally had a chance to get ready. Putting on her red glittery dress and doing her hair she helped the other girls do their make up and get ready as well. Finally it was party time and she couldn’t wait for everyone to arrive even though they were all staying on the same hotel on the same floor.

SADIE: “I’m so excited for tonight” she said excitedly to the other girls while they waited for people to show up

KYLA: Smoothing down her black dress that had a deep v on the chest and a slit that went up to her hip on the right side with thigh high stockings. With Sadie’s help her make up was on point and waited for the gang to show up seeing how dolled up the girls got. She was excited to see what Quentin though of her black velvet dress “Oh me too!!! It’s going to be the best night ever” she said to Sadie

SADIE: “It is and you look beautiful as always” she smiled kissing her cheek

HIRO: Hiro walked in with Arisa. "I am excited for the year to finally end."

EMERSON: Looking at her green silk dress that was spaghetti strapped and a very low cut in the back with a slit up the left hip she smiled at both girls. “I love you both” she said excitedly

ARISA: “I am too but this year brought us together finally at least.” She said as she walked in gasping at the decorations

HIRO: "You're right about that."

KYLA: “You all look so beautiful” she said to Sadie, Emerson and Arisa. “Hiro you look handsome”

ARISA: Kissing his cheek sweetly “Thank you for everything”

HIRO: "Kyla you always look amazing, so there's nothing new there." He said before turning to Arisa and kissing her. "It's nothing. I love you."

SADIE: “Everyone is going to look so dapper and on point I can’t wait. You look very handsome Hiro and Arisa that dress is amazing” she smiled

ALEENA: Aleena walked in with Mark in tow. "I'm can't wait to find out what New Years is like with people you like."

SADIE: "Hi" she smiled excitedly as Aleena and Mark came into the room. "You both looks so good" she hugged them

ALEENA: "Thank you." She said hugging Sadie back.

MARK: "I told you I'd be here." He said to Sadie, hugging her back.

JACK: Walks into Sadie's room with Elliot and gives Sadie a hug before Elliot kissed her. Grabbing a bottle for himself he sat on the couch.

KYLA: Looking out the hotel windo at the NYC skyline

HIRO: Hiro goes with Kyla. "It's nice, huh? I've never seen it before."

SADIE: "I'm so glad you guys came. Tonight is going to be so much fun" she replied to them both before hugging Jack and kissing her boyfriend. "This is Elliot, my boyfriend" she introduced him to those who didn't know him

EMERSON: Smiles at Jack and Elliot

ALEENA: "And this is Mark my ex boyfriend which sounds weirder than it is." She said after Sadie.

SADIE: "Oooh, are you two on a date?" she asked

KYLA: “Yeah, I always hated this place for reasons you know and now. It’s not so bad. Quentin took me to all of our old spots and it made them more special. I don’t know if I’d ever live here again though. And I’m glad you get to experience NY. With us” she said smiling at Hiro

QUENTIN: Walks into the party casually late with Lane trailing right behind them. It usually took him a bit longer to get ready when dressing up but, it was new years and it was tradition so, he wanted to looked nice. "Hey, sorry I'm running late" he smiled at Sadie, giving her a kiss on the cheek before hugging everyone else leaving Kyla for last and hugging her a bit extra

ALEENA: "No, he just moved back so we're reconnecting." She laughed.

LANE: Walks into the party behind Quentin and smiles at Sadie while his brother hugged her.

HIRO: "Yeah, I know. Because you're making good memories with your friends. Maybe one day. I am too. I hope one day you guys will come experience Kyoto with me."

SADIE: "Oh, that's sweet" she smiled at Aleena as she hugged Quentin. "It's ok but, it better not happen again" she teased him before bringing her attention back to the girl. "It's always nice when you can stay friends after a break up"

KYLA: “You look so handsome” she said to Quentin smiling up at him in their hug “I’d love to go to Kyoto one day, what about you?” She asked Quentin

MARK: "We didn't break up break up, I just moved."

QUENTIN: "Thank you" he grinned kissing her cheek. "You look stunning as always" he whispered into her ear before nodding to the question. "Oh yeah, definitely. I've always wanted to visit Japan"

HIRO: "Always as in since I moved here." He joked.

SADIE: "Oh, so you two are basically still together?" she asked wiggling her eyebrows

QUENTIN: "No, jackass" he laughed. "I've always wanted to go since I was like twelve but, I went to London instead"

KYLA: When he whispered in her ear she shivered “Thank you” She smile. “We should make a trip to go this spring break then” she said laughing at Hiro and Quentin

MARK: "We'll see." He said, while Aleena just blushed.

LANE: Grabs a bottle of patron and a wine glass and pours himself a drink before making his way to where the music was set up

HIRO: "You missed out, man. London is nothing compared to Japan. We should."

SADIE: "Well, she is a hot item so be careful" she joked complimenting how nice Aleena looked

QUENTIN: "I'm sure I did. I was twelve though and I stole Milo's credit card so I just went on the first available flight. It was pretty exciting considering" he nodded

JACK: drinks from his bottle and bobs his head to the music Lane put on

KYLA: “I’m so down to go this spring break if we are all available”

QUENTIN: "hell yeah, we should do it"

EMERSON: Walks over to Jack “Hey there handsome you look sharp tonight” she said smiling and kissing his cheek

JACK: "Thanks, you look pretty gorgeous yourself" he smiled patting the spot next to him for her to sit

KYLA: “Really” She said excitedly smiling a full on dimpled smile. “I’ll get some info and we can sit down and plan it together. Hiro and Arisa will know the best places to stay”

ALEENA: "I'm not used to getting so many compliments. I mean you're right, but still."

HIRO: "To stay? I don't know about that, but to go, definitely. We can even take a day trip to Osaka."

EMERSON: “Thank you” She said smiling drinking some champagne as she sat next to him kind of closer than she probably should have but didn’t care. “I’ve missed you, you know..”

KYLA: “Ok well we can figure that out when the time comes” she smiled at Hiro. “Either way we will have a blast together” Kyla nodded her head as she took a sip of her champagne

HIRO: "Exactly. It'll be great as long as we're all there."

QUENTIN: "Yes really, I think it would be fun"

ALEENA: Aleena walked up to Lane. "Hey there, stranger."

SADIE: "You better get used to it because you look gorgeous"

KYLA: “I can’t wait”

HIRO: "But just us. No extras."

KYLA: “Like everyone in this room or just the four of us?”

JACK: Smiling at her as she sat down he draped his arm behind her on the couch. "So, you got any new year resolutions, this year?"

LANE: "Hey beautiful" he smiled looking up at Aleena

HIRO: "The four of us."

QUENTIN: "I'm cool with that. Anyone I'd want there is here anyway"

EMERSON: “Just going to continue to do what I want” she smiled at him “What about you?”

HIRO: "Or all of us."

KYLA: “I feel the same way”

JACK: "Same, it's what I always do anyway" he laughed

ALEENA: "So many compliments. I'm starting to think you guys have ulterior motives.'

QUENTIN: "I'm cool with just the four of us" he smiled correcting what he meant to say

EMERSON: “Right, why change when you’re ok with who you are” she laughed with him.

LANE: "You already know you are beautiful, stop" he grinned

JACK: "Well, mostly ok anyway" he laughed with her

SADIE: Grabs Elliot and dances with him to the music.

EMERSON: “Yeah, I would change a few things..” she smiled biting her bottom lip

HIRO: "You guys should start making a list of things to do and I'll tell you what sucks and what doesn't."

ALEENA: "Doesn't mean you shouldn't tell me more often." She teased.

JACK: "I would too if I could but, something just need time to change on their own"

KYLA: “I’m going to get some more Champagne would you like any?” She asked Hiro and Quentin

QUENTIN: "Ha, I'm not sure that would work out to well in our favor" he laughed

EMERSON: “Like what?” She asked “if you don’t mind me asking”

LANE: "I'll tell you everyday, how's that?" he grinned. He picked up his drink and finished it off before pouring himself some more. "Would you like a drink?" he asked leaning over the turn table toward her.

HIRO: "Sure. Why not." He said to Kyla.

JACK: "I don't know, just stuff" he shrugged. "I'm a little too drunk to think of everything right now" he laughed

QUENTIN: "Sure, thanks boo thang" he teased patting her butt as she walked off

ALEENA: "I wont object to that. Yes please."

LANE: Grabbing an extra glass he poured some patron from his bottle into it and held it out to Aleena but, closer to him than her. "What do I get in return?" he teased.

KYLA: Laughs as Quentin patted her butt coming back with four bottles of champagne with four flutes and handed Arisa, Hiro and Quentin one and started to pour the champagne filling the flutes. After filling hers she held hers up for a cheers “To us and to our future. May it be bright and filled with love”

QUENTIN: "I'll cheers to that" he smiled holding up his drink to cheers

ALEENA: "Nothing. You're doing it out of the kindness of your heart." She teased.

EMERSON: “Ok, well I’ll bug you about it another time.” She smiled laughing softly.

ARISA: “Me too” she smiled as she held hers up as well

LANE: "Oh, I do that? You sure I'm that nice?" he teased, coming around the table and leaning back against it in front of her

JACK: "Sounds good to me"

HIRO: "Gambai."

ALEENA: "What do you want in return?

EMERSON: “You need to come over and visit me sometime.”

KYLA: Clinking her glass to theirs she takes a drink

QUENTIN: "A la votre" he smiled clicking his glass to everyone elses and taking a drink

LANE: "Maybe just a New Years kiss.." he suggested with a grin

ARISA: Drinks her champagne smiling at the three of them

HIRO: "It sound more pretentious in French."

QUENTIN: "Everything sounds pretentious in French" he laughed

KYLA: “I love when he speaks French” She smiled

ALEENA: "If you get me drunk enough, I'll consider it." She winked at him.

HIRO: "Of course you do, Kyla."

LANE: "Fair enough" he chuckled handing her the glass

QUENTIN: "I wonder how you say it in croatian?" he asked looking over to Lane and then shook his head deciding not to bother him at the moment

ALEENA: She took the glass and took a drink. "Are you ready to kick in the new year?"

HIRO: "Yeah, he can't hear you.'

LANE: "Oh hell yeah. I am going to be so wasted by the end of the night. How about you?" he asked crossing one arm over his chest and bringing his glass up to his lips with the other hand

QUENTIN: "I have a feeling he is going to be mostly unreachable all night" he laughed

JACK: "yeah? maybe you should come visit me sometime"

KYLA: “That’s what happens” she said laughing softly looking over at Lane and Aleena smiling seeing what she knows so well as she sips her champagne

EMERSON: “I didn’t know if that invitation still stood”

QUENTIN: Smiling at Kyla he nodded. "I think we should get those drops out soon. We need to get crazy tonight"

JACK: "Of course it does. It always does" he smiled

ALEENA: "I plan to be just as waisted. I'm excited. There's so much to look forward to. Hiro and Ari's wedding, the fashion show, my best friend is here. I'm just happy."

HIRO: "Drops?"

KYLA: Smiling at him biting the tip of her tongue nodding her head. Reaching behind Quentin she grabbed her clutch and pulled them out. “They’re marijuana eye drops and they’re amazing. Want some?” She asked Arisa and Hiro as she opened them offering to put them in Quentin’s eyes. “One or two drops?” She asked him

ARISA: “I’m down to try them”

EMERSON: “How about tonight?”

HIRO: "Sure. Why not."

LANE: "Good, then wasted we shall get" he smiled. "Yeah, there is a lot of good things happening this coming year. It's gonna be tight"

QUENTIN: "Two please" he smiled, tilting his head back so she could put them into his eyes

JACK: "Of course... anytime" he repeated

ALEENA: "We shall. You're gonna cheer me on, right?" She joked.

LANE: 'Of course. What else are friends for?" he grinned

KYLA: “As you wish” she said as she put two drops in each eye with her body pressed against his to reach. Handing them to him so he could do hers as she wiped the drops that escaped with her fingers

EMERSON: “You ok?”

QUENTIN: 'Thank you" he smiled, licking his lips as he took the drops from her and put one in each of her eyes. "You'll be seeing stars" he teased

JACK: "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

ALEENA: "Good. Do you guys have anything that isn't champagne?"

LANE: "Well, when I grabbed this bottle it looked like they had an entire bar selection over there. You wanna go check it out?"

KYLA: “Mmm my favorite” she smiled kissing his chin and cheek. Turning around but still close to Quentin she held out the drops for Hiro so he could do Arisa’s “just one since it’s your first time”

ALEENA: "You should've started with that. Lets go!"

EMERSON: “Just checking” she laughed shrugging

HIRO: Hiro put one for Arisa and gave it to her so she could put some in his

LANE: "Ha, maybe but, I like distracting you" he teased. He stood up from the table he was leaned against and led her to the bar area

JACK: "Are you ok?" he asked in return with a smile

ARISA: Put one drop in each of his eyes. “Surprisingly these don’t sting”

EMERSON: “I am, thanks for asking” she said laughing

QUENTIN: "Should we dance?" he asked placing his hands on her hips

JACK: "Good, well I'm glad we got that cleared up" he teased before taking another drink

KYLA: “I’d love to” she said looking over her shoulder at him licking her lips

EMERSON: “Yeah it’s always nice to get the small stuff out of the way” she smirked as she took a drink.

ALEENA: "Distracting me from the booze we both want?"

QUENTIN: Pulling her by her hips to the middle of the floor her he kept his eyes locked on hers. "I'm gonna rock your world" he teased before dipping her back and pulling her close to him closing any space between them as he brought her back up

JACK: "Definitely, I feel that" he grinned

LANE: "Nah, just in general" he laughed. When they reached the bar he pointed at all the bottles "Pick your poison, princess"

KYLA: Gasping as he brought their bodies together licking her lips smiling as he dipped her. “You promise” she asked smirking. “I know I’m ready for you to” She said biting her bottom lip as she rolled her body against his causing her right leg to slip from the slit in her dress.

EMERSON: “You know you’re the last person I’ve been with” she said out of no where

QUENTIN: "Oh yeah, you have no idea" he grinned pulling his bottom lip between his teeth as he swayed with her

JACK: "No way..." he said a bit shocked

KYLA: Wrapping her left arm around his neck as she moved with him she whispered in his ear. “You going to break me?” She asked with her lips against his ear smirking at the memory of when he told her that

ALEENA: "Cherry vodka please."

EMERSON: “”I swear” she said

QUENTIN: Nodding his head as she whispered into his ear he licked his lips. 'Yeah, but don't worry. I'll put you back together and do it all over again multiple times"

LANE: "Cherry?" he asked a bit surprised by her choice. He went behind the bar and grabbed the bottle for her. "Glass or not glass, your highness?" he grinned.

ALEENA: "You don't like cherries? Whichever."

JACK: "You shouldn't do that" he laughed. Moving his arm from the back of the couch to wrap across her shoulders. "So.. I like this dress"

KYLA: “Do we have to wait until after midnight?” She moaned into his ear “It’s been way too long” she said as she looked into his eyes as her fingers ran through his hair

EMERSON: “I promise” she corrected herself smiling as she leaned into him. “Thank you, not too revealing?”

LANE: "Oh, no.. I do" he smiled handing her the bottle. "I just expected you to chose differently." He grabbed a bottle of vanilla vodka and came back out from behind the bar. "I bet these would be amazing mixed"

QUENTIN: "Be patient" he grinned devilishly as he pressed his body against hers. "We can't be rude to our friends now can we?"

JACK: "Nah, it's perfect. I really like the color" he smiled pressing his lips together

ALEENA: "Maybe next time you can just give me what you think I want and I'll see how well you know me. You're the expert, mix em."

LANE: "I'll except that challenge.. and you could do the same for me" he smiled grabbing two wine glasses and placing them onto the bar. He held his hand out for her bottle and once she handed it to him he poured a little of each vodka into both glasses. Handing her one of the glasses he clicked his to hers "Živjeli"

KYLA: Biting her bottom lip pressing her body against his as well “I’ll be patient but I’m holding you to that promise.” She smirked as she rolled her hips into his “No, you’re right. But know I’m really ready right now” kissing him softly on the lips

EMERSON: “Yeah, I like this color as well” she winked as she took a drink

ALEENA: "Me? Sure, I'll take that bet. Whatever you just said." She said and took a drink.

QUENTIN: "Of course you are" he grinned. "I wouldn't expect anything less"

JACK: "it looks really good on you" he said, feeling as if he said that already but didnt't care

LANE: Smiling at her as she took a drink he reached his hand out for hers. "Wanna dance?'

ALEENA: "I would love to." She laughed and took his hand to go dance with him.

KYLA: “I don’t want this to end.. what we’ve been doing” she said honestly as she pressed her chest to his her heart beat beating fast

LANE: Taking her hand he led her to a clear space in the middle of the room and moved his hand from hers to her hip. Holding his glass in the other hand he pressed his wrist to her hip and pulled her close to him to sway back and fourth

EMERSON: “I’m glad you approve” she smiled as she rested her hand on his thigh. “I’m loving you in what you’re wearing”

QUENTIN: "me either" he agreed leaning in to kiss her slow and soft

JACK: "Yeah?" he chuckled lightly. "I just threw it together, nothing too fancy"

KYLA: Smiling at his response she kissed him back nice and slow. She didn’t know what that meant but she knew she was holding onto whatever it was. Wrapping her other arm around his neck humming into the kiss as she massaged his lips with hers thankful that her lipstick was smudge proof

EMERSON: “I really do. But honestly you look really good no matter what you wear” she said blushing

ALEENA: She slightly blushed when he got close to her and started swaying with him.

JACK: "Now you are just flirting with me" he chuckled

LANE: The more he swayed with her the more the room seemed to be spinning. He leaned down pressing his forehead to hers and smiled. "I am so drunk already, I probably shouldn't have drank before I came"

EMERSON: “I was flirting in the beginning as well” she arched a brow smiling. “I’ll stop if you want”

QUENTIN: Continuing to kiss her until the song that was playing ended he pulled away. "Let's get a drink, yeah?" he asked with a smile

ALEENA: "I didn't drink, but I also didn't eat so I'm already pretty tipsy."

JACK: "I know, I was just teasing" he grinned blushing a bit. "Oh no, please continue"

LANE: "Why didn't you eat? Sadie has snacks over there if you need something" he pulled her closer not really wanting her to go.

KYLA: “Absolutely” She said smiling as she moved to his side with her arm around his waist and walked with him to the champagne and takes a drink from the bottle and hands it to him

ALEENA: "Alcohol makes you gain weight and I didn't need to add to it. I don't feel very hungry right now actually." She said, wrapping her arms around his neck.

EMERSON: “You sure about that” she giggled blushing herself. “I’ve missed this.. and definitely missed you”

QUENTIN: Smiles at her as she takes a drink and then follows right behind her when she hands him the bottle. "So.. " he asked leaning against the bar to steady his tipsy body

LANE: "Fair" he nodded. When she wrapped her arms around his neck he started to sway with her more, his leg slightly bent between hers

KYLA: Giggles as she’s pulled with him as he leans against the bar smiling. “Yes, Romeo?” She asked wondering what he’d say. “Somebody is feeling very good right now”

JACK: "Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't say I was if I wasn't. I've missed you too"

EMERSON: “Good, I’m glad I get to flirt with you again” she winked kissing his cheek. “So, tell me something you want right now?”

QUENTIN: Grinning cheesily he nodded "Oh yeah" he agreed, pulling her to stand between his legs. "Do you have a new years resolution this year?"

ALEENA: "I think all this swaying is starting to make me dizzy." She said, starting to giggle.

JACK: "Right now?" he thought for a moment at the question. "Right now I would really like to kiss you" he said without second guessing

LANE: "yeah, me too but, it's kind of nice" he laughed a bit at her giggle. "We should go bug Kyla for some medical eye drops"

ALEENA: "Medical eye drops?"

KYLA: “I haven’t really thought about it. But I’ve been kind of working on not being too much..” she said biting her bottom lip. “And to continue to live every day as if it’s my last” she said as she ran her hands up his chest. “What about you?”

EMERSON: “Then what are you waiting for” she said leaning closer to him

LANE: "Yeah, it's like medical marijuana but in eye drop form"

QUENTIN: "I have a couple but, I'm still sorting them out" he nodded. "You are not too much, you are just.. you. and you are perfect" he smiled putting his hand on the side of her neck and pulling her to him to kiss her lips softly.

ALEENA: "I'm not sure if that's a good idea."

JACK: "Midnight?" he joked before leaning in closer to her and brushing his lips against hers. "Do you want me to kiss you?" he asked, his eyes looking down at her lips.

LANE: "Alright, you don't have to" he smiled, bringing his glass to his lips and taking a drink.

ALEENA: "I don't wanna be the lame one though. Fine, I'll do it."

KYLA: “I have no doubt that you’ll figure it out. You always do” she smiled at him as he said she was perfect and inhaled slowly. “Thank you” she whispered as she tilted her head towards his touch kissing him back softly. “I love tasting your lips” she whispered against his lips

LANE: "You're not lame. If you don't want to you don't have to, no pressure. I already did some earlier myself"

ALEENA: "Is it not like with edibles? You do more, you die?"

EMERSON: “It could be midnight... Or right this minute” she said licking her lips slowly. “I do want to kiss you” she whispered as she rubbed her lips to his.

QUENTIN: 'You sure your not just tasting the red wine?" he asked teasingly as he pulled gently on her bottom lip with his teeth.

JACK: Without saying anything else he pressed his lips to her and kissed her hard but slow. Placing his hand on her thigh as his arm around her shoulders tightened to keep her close

KYLA: Moaning as he pulled on her bottom lip not letting the lyric reference run past her “it could be just that but I do crave these lips, I need help” she whispered as she traced the tip of her tongue over his lips

EMERSON: Raising her leg moaning into the kiss, kissing him back just as hard and slow as her hand on his thigh goes up and her other hand makes a fist in his shirt

QUENTIN: "Yeah, I don't think they make rehabilitation for that sort of thing" he teased, moving his hands to her lower back and pulling her closer. "We should probably go to the roof, it's almost midnight" he said in a low tone

LANE: "Uhm... I don't know?" he laughed

KYLA: “Good cause this is a habit I’ll never kick” she teased back nodding her head feeling him as he pulled her closer. “And after midnight?” She smirked with an arched brow as her hands ran up and down his chest.

JACK: He left his hand slide slightly up under her dress but still on her thigh as he slipped his tongue into her mouth and tangled it with hers

ALEENA: "I'll take some, but if I die, you better be there to talk about how great I was."

QUENTIN: "After midnight we turn into pumpkins" he grinned

LANE: "If you die I die. I got you" he grinned backing away from her slightly as he found her hand with his again and led her toward the drops that were placed on the table

EMERSON: Sucking on his tongue as his tongue slipped into her mouth massaging his with hers moaning into the kiss as her hand slid up further just barely near his center

SADIE: Walks up to Arisa and Hiro and wraps her arms around Arisa from behind. "You two coming to watch the ball drop?"

ALEENA: "That's sounds like we're going into battle together and not getting high." She tilted her head back so he could put some in her eyes.

HIRO: "The what now?"

JACK: "Maybe we should skip this ball drop" he suggested between kisses

KYLA: “So we are both breakable now huh” she teased giggling softly “Let’s go baby” she said letting baby slip causing her to blush

ARISA: “Is that how America does New Years?”

EMERSON: “Mm yes please” she groaned into their kiss

LANE: "Same difference really" he laughed picking up the drops to put one in each eye. He watched her as she let her eyes adjust and then put another drop in each of his own eyes.

QUENTIN: "Everyone is breakable" he nodded with a smile, catching on to what she said and liking it

ALEENA: "How long does it take for these to kick in?"

SADIE: "The big shiny ball that comes down. We count down and it drops to ring in the new year" she smiled and slurred. "Come on" she grabbed her hat and coat and waited for everyone who was coming

LANE: "About five minutes. You'll be ok" he smiled at her. "You wanna go to the roof?"

HIRO: "And you guys say we're weird." He said, but followed her anyways.

KYLA: She walked to where her coat and slipped it on handing Quentin his her cheeks still flushed from their kissing. Putting her gloves on. “I’m ready.” She smiled

JACK: Standing up from the couch he pulled her with him. "Your room or mine?"

ARISA: Follow while putting her coat on

ALEENA: "Ask me again in fine minutes. Yeah, it's almost new years, I forgot.

SADIE: "I never said I wasn't weird" she giggled. "I like being weird" she stated proudly

EMERSON: “Who ever s is closest” she said out of breath

LANE: Laughing shaking his head he led her to the coats so that they could get ready

HIRO: "Fair enough."

JACK: "Alright, let's go then" he said lacing his fingers with hers and leading her out of the room

[[On the roof now]]

ALEENA: "It's freezing up here." She said, shivering.

QUENTIN: Leaning against the siding of the edge with his arms wrapped tightly around Kyla he waited for the count down to begin

KYLA: “Oh my god it’s so cold” she said snuggling into Quentin looking down at everyone the nuzzled her face into his neck breathing him in

LANE: "yeah it is. we might turn into eskimos" he joked wrapping his arms around her from behind to try and keep them bot warm

ARISA: “Oh wow” she said as they walked to the railing

ARISA: With hiro

SADIE: Snuggles into Elliot and begins counting down with everyone

ALEENA: "I'm from the tropics, I'm not meant to be cold."

HIRO: Hiro stands behind Arisa and looks over her shoulder at the city.

LANE: "Well, lucky for you I have enough body heat for the both of us"

KYLA: Counts down looking into Quentin’s eyes

ARISA: Leans into Hiro and turns around counting down

QUENTIN: Starts to count down with everyone once they get to 10"

ALEENA: "So lucky." She said snuggling up to him.

KYLA: “9”

SADIE: "8"

ALEENA: "7"

QUENTIN: "6"

ARISA: “5”

HIRO: "4"

KYLA: “3”

LANE: "2"

HIRO: "1"

QUENTIN: He yells Happy New Year as everyone cheers and the ball drops. He turns to Kyla and kisses her

ARISA: “Happy New Year” She cheered then kissed Hiro

HIRO: Hiro kissed her back, only pulling away to mumble a quick "Happy new year."

KYLA: Wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him back

SADIE: "Happy New Year" she smiles and falls into Elliot as he kisses her

LANE: Spinning Aleena around in his arms he kisses her

ALEENA: Aleena kisses him back. "You got your new years kiss."

LANE: "I did, I feel so lucky" he smiled before kissing her again

KYLA: “Would it be rude to leave now” she whispered giggling into the kiss

QUENTIN: "Maybe just a little" he laughed

ALEENA: "You are. Not everyone can say the most beautiful girl in the world was their new years kiss." She said before kissing him back.

LANE: Smiling against her lips he continued to kiss her bring his hands to the sides of her face

KYLA: “Well you’ll just have to swoop me up when you’re ready to leave” she smiling up at him caressing his cheek with her hand looking into his eyes inhaling sharply. “You’re amazing, you know that?”

QUENTIN: "Don't worry I will" he smiled down at her. "I'm not but, I'm glad you think so. You are pretty amazing yourself"

SADIE: "let's go back inside now it's freezing"

KYLA: “I know so” she assured him. “I’m glad you think so too” she laughed

QUENTIN: "Of course I think so, it's true" he said, walking with her still wrapped in his arms back into the hotel

KYLA: Walks back in with snuggled into him smiling shivering not only from how cold she was but by his touch alone.

ARISA: Walks in with Hiro shivering from how cold it was.

They’re all back into the room now except for Jack and Emerson they’re busy lol

ARISA: “I like how they celebrate New Years here. I cannot believe it’s 2018” she said as she took her coat off and sat on the couch drinking some champagne

HIRO: "I'm more of a festival guy, but this is fun too."

ARISA: “I like the festival too. I just think it’s fascinating how different cultures celebrate holidays”

HIRO: "You're right about that. So...What do we do now?"

ARISA: “I think we just continue to have fun. Unless you’re tired?”

KYLA: Walks into the room taking her coat and gloves off and goes by the fire warming up. Seeing Sadie and Elliot snuggled up on the couch she smiled.

HIRO: "Sleep is for the weak, but we can go have fun in bed."

ARISA: “That sounds like fun” she smiled blushing

HIRO: "Then lets get going and we'll see these losers in the morning. Afternoon. Night."

ARISA: “Ok, let’s go.” Standing up she waved goodbye hugging everyone goodnight. “Thank you so much for inviting us and showing us what it’s like to have a New Years Eve Party in the us” she said

KYLA: Hugs Hiro and Arisa goodnight. “You two are always invited”

LANE: "Come sit with me" he said in almost a whiny tone as he grabbed Aleena's hands and pulled her into the bedroom since the couch was already taken

HIRO: "We better be." He joked, hugging Kyla back before leaving.

ALEENA: "You're so needy. Where are you taking me?" She asked, laughing.

QUENTIN: "Happy New Year, man" he smiled at Hiro and hugged Arisa. "You two behave tonight" he teased

ARISA: “Thank you all again” she said as she left with Hiro

LANE: "Yeah, but you love me" he chuckled, sitting down onto the bed and pulling her down with him

ALEENA: "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means." She joked, moving to lie down on him.

KYLA: Walking up to Quentin she smiled the entire way to him with two champagne flutes for them to toast together. “To many more New Years together” she said as she clinked the glass to his taking a sip.

LANE: "I think it means exactly what I think it means" he grinned wrapping his arms around her when she laid down. "But, I do use it as a form of getting my way a lot" he laughed

QUENTIN: Taking the glass from her he clicked it against hers with a nod and took a drink. "Everyone seems to be winding down now" he said with a smile before taking another drink

KYLA: “I think they’re ready to celebrate alone” she said as she took another drink smiling. “I think Sadie and El lost their room” she said laughing

ALEENA: "You should stop doing it because you love me." She joked.

QUENTIN: "Ha, yeah I think so too. But, luckily the couch pulls into a bed too" he smiled watching her. "Are you ready to celebrate alone?"

KYLA: “Yeah that is a good thing” she nodded her head agreeing. Licking her lips “I’m definitely ready”

LANE: "Awww... What?" he laughed being a little over dramatic about her taking his line. "Fine but, only because you love me" he teased. He rolled onto his side so that she would be on her side beside him. Tucking a piece of loose hair behind her ear and smiling at her. 'You're the worst" he grinned

QUENTIN: "I mean, we could always just do it right here. Push everything off the counters and just go at it" he motioned his arms pretending as if he was going to push everything onto the floor

ALEENA: "That only works because I don't love you." She teased him back. "I'm the best and you know it."

KYLA: “Well” She said as if she was really thinking about it but couldn’t keep a straight face. “It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve done it wherever we wanted. Hmm” laughing not able to stay serious. “But then again I believe there was promises of over and over again. They might get jealous of how hot we are together”

LANE: "Well, you already know that my love for you only goes nine inches deep so, I mean It's fair I guess" he chuckled grinning like a fool. "Mhm.. the best of the worst"

QUENTIN: "Oh yeah.. we wouldn't want to make anyone jealous. Maybe it would be better if we just did it everywhere but on the counter" he teased pulling her closer to him

ALEENA: "Three inches. Don't flatter yourself." She teased. "And you're the worst of the worst, so it works."

KYLA: Laughing in his arms running her hands up and down his arms. “I mean there are ways they won’t be able to tell because I’m being a bad girl right now. But you do tend to make me scream so they’d get annoyed for sure” she sighed playfully

LANE: "Maybe you should flatter me instead, then I wouldn't have to flatter myself" he said raising his brow slightly. "Of course it works, it's you and me"

ALEENA: "I would, but I'm not a liar so I won't." She joked. "And we always work."

QUENTIN: "Ah, I think they can take it" he joked. "No but really, we should probably get back to our room soon. I think those two are about ready to get it on and annoy us" he nodded toward Sadie and Elliot.

LANE: "I appreciate that. There isn't much worse than a liar" he nodded. "Always" he repeated after her his voice getting a bit softer as he looked at her placing his hand on her hip

KYLA: “We can’t be annoyed by them that’d just be horrible” she teased kissing him softly. “By the way there is something new that you’ll get to see once you get me to our bed. I’m not telling you what it is but you’ll find it in no time” she said biting his bottom lip.

QUENTIN: "Oh yeah?" he asked a bit intrigued. "Am I going to like this something new?" he raised his brow in curiosity

ALEENA: "Always." She said before leaning in to kiss him and softly putting her hand on his cheek.

KYLA: “I hope so, because I know I do” she said as she kissed his neck. “You’ll probably feel it before you see it, and knowing you” she laughing softly against his neck “You’ll want to see what it looks like” kissing his neck. “Let’s go, baby” she whispered softly

LANE: He kissed her back soft and slow. Letting his hand fall to her lower back and pulling her closer to him closing any space between them.

QUENTIN: "Well, maybe you should just show it to me first then?" he suggested but, let it come out more as a demand. He tilted his head to the side giving her more access to his neck and smiled. "Alright" he nodded, ready to follow her anywhere.

Through the Night - Sledgefu

Gene wakes up and realizes Snaf can’t sleep so he takes the normal course of action. Improved & Edited 7/22/17

It was @ramimalekeyes‘ birthday almost a whole fucking month ago and I promised him a fic so here it is I hope you all enjoy it and I can’t believe I did this. I just love Kay that fucking #much tbh. It’s now just under 3k and nsfw

I don’t mind if you interact with this one if ur under 18 it’s not an insert.

Eugene stirred awake in bed as he felt movement beneath him. He groaned softly, feeling as if he hadn’t gotten enough sleep. He realized dimly that Merriell’s chest was rising slowly beneath him and then falling rapidly, and he assumed the other man was still asleep. He was about to drift back off himself when the faint smell of smoke hit his nostrils. He cracked his eyes open at this, testing the air again to make sure his mind wasn’t just playing tricks on him. Still he smelled it, the subtle scent of something burning. He groaned once more, pressing his forehead against the chest beneath him.

“Mer, you up?” he mumbled, rubbing his face against his lover’s bare skin.

“Yeah, m’up,” came the raspy reply. “Go back to sleep, Gene.”

“Some’in’s burnin’,” he elaborated, finally opening his eyes all the way to allow them to adjust to the dark. He glanced up at Merriell’s face and found the source of the smell - a lit cigarette in his hand. Merriell grinned at him, the light only illuminating part of his face.

“Whole house ain’t burnin’ down or nothin, I’m jus havin’ a smoke,” he said before bringing the cigarette to his lips and taking a long draw. The light flickered brighter when he did, and Eugene thought the bags under Merriell’s eyes were darker than normal. He frowned, which only made Merriell’s shit-eating grin grow wider.

“Those things’ll kill ya, you know that,” Eugene grimaced, and Merriell chuckled.

“Sure, and ya definitely not considerin’ reachin’ up here and takin’ a drag yaself.” Eugene scoffed, his hand already lifted from Merriell’s stomach, about to extend towards the smoke to grab it. Merriell handed it over, and Gene took a slow drag from it before handing it back.

“Go back to sleep then, ‘s early still,” Merriell offered, bringing his free hand up to run his fingers through Eugene’s hair. “I’m sure ya need ya beautyrest.”

“And you don’t?” Eugene teased, but Merriell didn’t say anything. He just looked away, taking another drag. He was quiet for a moment, and then looked back with another grin.

“Some of us don’t need ta sleep for our beauty,” he taunted, blowing smoke in Eugene’s direction. He laughed when Eugene grimaced, and ruffled his hair a bit.

“Oh? Ya don’t like that? Whata’ya gonna do about it, Sledge?” He let out a laugh that resonated in the quiet nighttime air as Eugene pushed against him, pulling himself up to be face to face with Merriell.

“Whata’ya gonna do?” he repeated, whispering his time, and Eugene pressed his lips hungrily against his. Merriell dug his fingers further into Gene’s hair, holding his cigarette off the bed so he didn’t burn either of them. Eugene parted Merriell’s lips with his tongue, slipping it into his mouth. He tasted like tobacco, ash, and a slew of spices Gene was slowly beginning to recognize by taste - bay leaf, cayenne, garlic. He savored them as Merriell rolled his tongue over his own lazily, taking his time in kissing him. Eugene tried to speed him up, tried to convince Merriell to work as hard as he was. But all Mer did was chuckle into Gene’s mouth, pulling back to look at him. Gene tried to follow him, but Merriell only pulled back more.

“Cummon now Eugene, is that all ya gonna do? Clamber all ova me like I’m some barely dressed broad in a navy bar? Shove ya tongue in my mouth so I can’t smoke?” Gene steamed at these words, and Merriell kept on grinning.

“I’m jus’ sayin’, Eugene,” Merriell drawled, taunting, “ya could stand to push the envelope a little.”

“You ain’t exactly the easiest puzzle to put together, Shelton,” Gene said back, exasperated, and Merriell chuckled again, ashing his cigarette over the edge of the bed.

“What, ya need me to spell it out for ya?” Merriell rolled his body towards Eugene’s pressing his erection against him. “See, I’m here thinkin’ you can put that mouth and tongue to a betta use.” Eugene cut eyes at him, and Merriell further goaded him.

“Hey now, I fought for this country. And I’m thinkin’ ya can spare a blowjob for a Marine in these desperate, tryin’ times.” Eugene rolled his eyes at him before reaching down to stroke him.

“I fought for this country too, Merriell,” he reminded him, but he ducked down Mer’s body anyway.

“Yeah yeah, semper fi and aaall that - ooooh,” Merriell let out a moan when Gene licked the head of his cock, music to his ears. Eugene teased him a little, licking him from the base to the head a few times before taking him into his mouth. Merriell hissed, keeping his grip on Gene’s hair tight. Eugene tried his damnedest to keep from gagging, a skill he was improving on the more he sucked dick. He made this easier by only taking a bit of Merriell at a time, something his partner both loved and resented. He felt Mer twitch in his mouth as he moved his lips closer to his hips, and by the time he had all of it in his mouth he could feel precum dribble down his throat.

“Yeah, take the whole thing, boo,” Merriell groaned, and Eugene looked up to see him staring back down, cigarette at his mouth.

“Ya always look so fuckin’ good with my cock in ya mouth,” he added, and Gene closed his eyes and hummed against him, enjoying the way Mer groaned for him again.

“Cummon now Gene, give me ya all here.” He tugged at Eugene’s hair gently, and Gene indulged him with a few bobs up and down on his cock. “Jus’ like tha boo, suck me good.” He ran his tongue over Merriell’s dick in his mouth, paying extra attention to the head, applying the extra pressure he knew he loved.

“Damn Eugene, ya jus’ get betta’ and betta’ at this every fuckin’ time now don’t ya?” Merriell praised him, tossing his head back. This spurred Gene to move more quickly, sucking harder and moving his tongue faster. The speed and the amount of saliva in his mouth resulted in the wet, sloppy sounds that the two of them loved, especially since they could be as loud as they wanted to.

“Aaaaah, there we fuckin’ go,” Merriell continued, his hips twitching under Eugene’s hands. “I bet ya like suckin’ this cock, don’t ya? Bet you like the way ma pecka fills up ya mouth and slides ova ya tongue.” Gene closed his eyes, again, trying to focus, but his own erection was becoming difficult to ignore, and Merriell wasn’t helping any. He must have noticed Gene slowing down, because he bucked his hips against him.

“Oh Eugene, keep on suckin’ me, cummon now,” he demanded, pulling him further down on his cock. “Ya know I love the way ya do it, and ya mouth jus’ feels so fuckin’ good, jus’ so fuckin’ good Gene, I wanna spill all ova it, right inside it, I want ya to fuckin’ swallow it, and-”

“My God Merriell, do you ever shut the fuck up?” Eugene asked, overpowering Merriell’s grip and pulling off his dick with a ‘pop.’ Merriell whined under him, giving him the evil eye.

“I was close and ya knew it,” Merriell grumbled, tugging on Eugene’s hair just because he could. As if to punctuate the point, Merriell’s cock twitched angrily. “And don’ act like ya don’ like the way I talk to ya when we fuck.”

“Your talk is fucking incessant, Merriell. You could go one minute without running your damn mouth, it won’t kill you.” Satisfied with his own point, Gene ducked back down to take Merriell into his mouth.

“How d’ya know it wont?” Mer asked, causing him to glance up to meet his eye. As soon as Eugene saw that shit-eating grin on Merriell’s face he stopped, drawing himself up to a kneeling position. Merriell stopped grinning the second he realized Gene wasn’t going to suck his cock anymore, but before he could protest, Eugene had already made his way up the bed, and was straddling his chest.

“Maybe this’ll get you to shut the fuck up for once,” Eugene said, stroking himself over Merriell’s face. He was harder than he thought he would be, the head of his cock swollen and red, which he knew looked irresistible. “Put that mouth of yours to good use for once.” Mer narrowed his eyes, obviously in objection at least in part, but parted his lips anyway. Gene leaned forward, pushing himself into Merriell’s mouth, groaning as he went. His mouth was warm and wet like always, and he relished the way his cock slid over Merriell’s tongue as it worked him into his mouth. He pressed until he was almost all the way in, before Mer would gag, and stayed there. Merriell looked up at him, expectant, but Gene didn’t offer him any help.

“Oh? I gotta work to suck you off but you can’t do the same?” he taunted, trying to keep his hips as still as possible. “Go on then, suck me.” With some hesitation Merriell started to move his head, taking Gene further into his mouth each time he came forward on him. Eugene let out a moan when Merriell pressed his nose against his stomach, and Gene could feel his cock touching the back of Mer’s throat. He felt Merriell exhale, his mouth vibrating around Eugene’s dick. He resisted the urge to buck his hips forward further, though he was nearly desperate to do so. He heard Merriell start to gag and tried to pull back, but Mer kept him there until he pulled his own head back, leaving Gene’s cock covered in spit.

“ ‘Sat good enough for ya, Eugene? Am I impressin’ ya?” he asked, bringing his hand up to stroke Gene’s cock.

“Hell yes,” Eugene groaned, and Merriell tutted at him.

“Now, now, can’t have my good little, God-fearin’ boy speakin’ like that,” he taunted before giving the head of Gene’s dick another lick.

“Why don’t you go back to when you were sucking my cock and not talking?” Eugene offered, and Merriell chuckled before stroking him again.

“I gotta betta idea - why don’t ya grab some oil and fuck the shit outta me?” Gene’s ears immediately perked at that, but he wasn’t quite sure he had gotten his fair share of head. He looked down at Merriell to protest and he watched his lips pulling back slowly, like they were a curtain drawing back on the main event. Eugene almost fell out of the bed scrambling to get some oil, and Merriell tossed aside his burnt out, forgotten cigarette. Gene returned to the bed with a small cannister of olive oil, kneeling between Merriell’s legs. He got his fingers slick before turning his attention to Mer, who reluctantly hoisted his legs up for easier access.

“Hurry it up now boo, before I get soft.” Eugene scoffed as he pushed a finger inside Merriell, probing.

“Keep talking like that and I’ll get soft first.” He thrusted his finger inside Mer before he could respond, making him hiss instead of talk. Merriell was tight, but he was always tight, and by now Eugene was well-versed in how to loosen him up. He waited until Merriell unclenched a bit around him, watched Merriell’s face as it unscrewed from the usual pained look, and then slowly began to flex his finger. Merriell tightened again, as expected, until he settled on this movement too. Slowly Gene worked him up to drawn out, shallow pumps until Merriell was feeling at least a little loose. Still, he continued for a couple more thrusts before Merriell found his voice again.

“Gimme another one Gene, I can take it,” he implored, and Eugene was happy to oblige him. The second finger slid in less easily, and Merriell groaned, his eyes squeezed shut. Gene wrapped his hand around Merriell’s dick and began to pump him, hoping to alleviate some of the pain. He followed the same pattern, working slowly up to thrusting until he felt Mer beginning to loosen up on him. Even so, to be sure, Gene continued to stretch him out until he was begging to be fucked. Merriell whined when Eugene pulled his fingers out of him,

“Sorry,” he apologized as he began to press into Merriell’s ass, making him groan in a mixture of pleasure and pain. Eugene always underestimated how tight Merriell really was when he fucked him at first, the pressure nearly unbearable as he fought Mer’s muscles. He pushed in one inch at a time, waiting until Merriell began to loosen up on him to go further. When he was buried as far as he could go he stilled, stroking Merriell’s cock slowly.

“Lemme know when,” he offered, watching Mer’s pained expression slowly relax.

“Start fuckin’ me Gene, or I’m neva gonna cum.” Was his response, and if Eugene hadn’t been so seized with lust he probably would have laughed. He knew Merriell wasn’t being completely honest, he could feel he wasn’t as loose as he should be. But he also knew that Mer liked a little pain, and Gene also knew he wasn’t going to be able to sit still forever. He pulled himself out of Mer slowly and pushed back in even slower, relishing in the pressure of Merriell’s walls squeezing him, and how tight he felt around him. Merriell nearly howled as Gene started to fuck him, the feeling clearly overwhelming him.

“Fuck me, Gene,” he growled, making it harder for Eugene to control himself. “Really give it to me, cummon.”

“Take it easy Mer, I’ll get there,” he promised, pumping his faster in his hand. Before long, after more than a few tentative, slow, and shallow thrusts, Merriell was starting to squirm against him, begging for more and more.

“Fuck me, Eugene,” he repeated, more demanding. “Fuck me like ya mean it, like I know ya wanna.” Gene picked up speed, thrusting into Merriell harder and harder each time. He got rougher, until Mer was punctuating each thrust with a raspy gasp, and he was gripping at the sheets beneath him

“Jesus Gene, fuck me!” he whined, bucking his hips involuntarily. “I need ya to make me cum Gene, I jus’ fuckin’ need it.”

“I’m gonna Mer, you know I’m gonna,” Eugene soothed, bringing his free hand up to Merriell’s face. He pushed Mer’s sweat-drenched curls out of his face, and Merriell looked up at him.

“You like watchin’ me take ya cock, Eugene?” he asked, and Gene felt heat rush to his groin. “I love watchin’ ya give it to me Gene, makin’ me yours.” Eugene pushed himself forward, half to kiss Merriell, and half to angle himself to thrust deeper. Mer whimpered into his mouth as Gene pounded into him, both their bodies slick with oil and sweat.

“Harder, Gene,” Merriell begged, a raspy whisper against his lips. Eugene made eye contact with him, and his cock twiched in Merriell’s ass when he was met with his signature intense stare. “Fuck me reaaaal good like I deserve ta be fucked.” Eugene picked up speed once more, a last burst of energy, Merriell’s whimpers turned to moans, and further dissolved into broken shouts as he tightened around Eugene’s cock.

“I’m cummin’ Gene,” Merriell gasped, and Eugene pressed a hungry kiss against his lips as he spilled in long stripes over his stomach and Gene’s hand. The feeling of Merriell cumming under him hastened Eugene’s orgasm; everything around him constricted so hard he thought he might burst, and he used his newly-freed hand to angle Mer further. He pushed him until everything but Merriell’s shoulders were off the bed, so he could thrust into him deeper. The cum on Merriell’s stomach started to dribble down to his chest, but he paid it no mind.

“God, fuck me Gene!” Merriell continued to repeat. “Fill me up with ya boo, I wanna feel ya cummin in me.” Eugene couldn’t have told Merriell to shut up if he wanted to, he was in too much of a haze. With a few more deep thrusts he reached release, throwing his head back to moan as he spilled inside of Merrriell. His cock throbbed and jumped as hard and as much as it could in such a tight space, and each small movement brought Eugene a new wave of pleasure.

Mer did the talking Gene wasn’t capable of, moaning himself as he felt him cumming, blabbering on about how fucking good it felt and how nothin aint ever felt so good before until Eugene could barely distinguish words from guttural noises he was making. He stayed inside Merriell until his haze cleared, letting Mer’s legs drop on either side of him. When he was able to move again he pulled out of Merriell, grabbing a discarded shirt on the floor to clean them both up. When he was finished he sprawled out on the bed, spent, and looked over to Merriell. Mer had already been looking back, but shook his head and chuckled.

“Now will ya go back to sleep?” he asked, and Eugene rolled towards him, tossing one of his legs over Mer’s body and pulling him towards him.

“I was just about to ask you the same thing,” he said, pulling Merriell’s head down under his chin. “If this is what I need to do to get you to sleep, I think I can manage it.” Merriell laughed softly, but for once, didn’t respond. Eugene wanted until he heard Mer begin to snore softly to drift off to sleep himself, hoping they could both remain out until morning.

Stain: "Yet full of revenge...Watch your mouth, because your age and your condition won't save you." Iida: "..." *grabs the blade* Stain: "?!" Iida: *pushes it away, as he stands* "...You fail to see me as a threat. That is your first mistake, criminal. I AM THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF THE HERO YOU ATTACKED! THE HERO AMONG HEROES! AND FOR HIM, I AM BRINGING YOUR CAMPAIGN OF MURDER TO AN END! THE LAST MINUTES YOU HAVE, ALL YOU WILL REMEMBER IS MY NAME!" Stain: "..." Death the Kid: Iida: "I AM INGENIUM!

Stain: *flipping over Iida* "Ingenium..." *slams his foot down onto Iida's shoulder--the spikes tearing through Iida's armor* Iida: "Gah!" Stain: *lands on Iida's head, slamming his foot down--then his sword into Iida's shoulder* Iida: "ARRRRGH!" Stain: "...You feign heroism...like the fake you are..." Iida: "Silence, evildoer!" Stain: "..." *small chuckle* Iida: "I SAID SHUT UP! The damage you did to his spinal cord...My brother will be crippled forever! He can never be a hero again!" Stain: "Then he was never a hero to begin with--" Iida: "I SAID SHUT UP! ...He is a great hero! He has saved so many! And what have you done, murderer?!" {Iida: *shiny eyes at dinner*} {Father Iida: "Excellent work, son!"} {tensei: aw, its nothing. ^^; } {Father Iida: "It's certainly no small feat, I'll tell you that! You're this young but already command so many sidekicks..."} {tensei: i wouldnt say that. im not able to do much by myself, and they're all there to support me. i owe them a lot. heroes have to bear the weight of that title, right? then if my job helps at least someone, then im doing good at it.} {Iida: "..." *small smile*} Iida: "My hero...has inspired my dreams! I'll kill you!" Stain: "And what of him?" *points to Native* native: *passed out* Iida: "..." Stain: "Your instinct was to attack me, not to save him? You wield power for yourself. Your greed blinds you...That is the furthest thing for a hero. That is why..." *kicks Iida's head to the side* Iida: "AH!" Stain: *removes the blade from Iida's shoulder...licks...* Iida: "?!" Stain: *holds it over his left eye* "You must die..." Iida: "!!!" ("My body...it's frozen...") Stain: "Be pleased that your offering will improve our society." Iida: "I said...shut up!" {Iida: "I am thoroughly impressed, brother!"} {tensei: you look up to me that much? guess that makes me a great hero or something. *smiles*} Iida: "Regardless what you say--you remain the criminal who hurt my brother!" Stain: *grins...* -something rushes in- Stain: "Huh--" -KAPOW- Iida: "...Midoriya?" izuku: iida! are you ok? Iida: "...Why are you here?" izuku: like the news reports said. 60% of the hero killers victims were found in alleys. i searched all over the back alleys looking for you! Iida: "...Not 'how'...Why?!" izuku: why? because we're friends, right? *smile* Iida: "...Do not interfere." izuku: ?? iida? Iida: "This has nothing to do with you!" izuku: what do you- Stain: *stares at Izuku* "...That's a cute line, kid..." *rubs his cheek* "But these fakes must die. And in a fight between you and me, the weaker will be eliminated..." *intense stare* izuku: *frozen* {All Might: "Villains with agenda...'ideals'...have a different kind of fire burning in their eyes..."} izuku:...*fist clench* Iida: "I said leave, Midoriya! This does not concern you!" izuku: whats a hero supposed to do when you say those kinds of things? its like what allmight said. giving help when its not asked for....thats what makes a true hero! Stain: "...Ahh..." *stands* izuku: *charges forwards* Stain: *swings his blade* izuku: *ducks down* Stain: *swings again* izuku: *jumps up* -5% DETROIT SMASH- Stain: *head knocked down* izuku: *lands* (i did it!) Stain: "..." *licks his blade* izuku: !!!! (w-what?! i-i cant move...did he graze me without feeling it....no...it's the blood!) Stain: "...So many heroes think they need power...Is that what you think, kid?" izuku: ...... Stain: "Obviously not. You wouldn't have relied on only your power, or mentioned All Might...You have something these fakers lack: focus. Observation. You tracked me. You exploited my blind spot. Your movements, your skill...You aren't one of these fools who just talks...You...are worth keeping alive." izuku: ?? Stain: "These others are not..." *lifts his sword, aiming again for Iida's eye* izuku: NO DONT- *FWOOSH* *The alley lights up in flames* Stain: *barely dodges* izuku: !!! ???: "I need more than a GPS coordinate, Izuku." izuku: todoroki! Todoroki: *on fire* "Took me far too long to recognize the coordinates you texted as being this location: you're too organized to send out meaningless numbers." Stain: "..." *runs at Todoroki* Todoroki: *ice foot slam at Stain's steps* Stain: *leaps to the right* Todoroki: *fire-stream at Stain, as his ice picks up Native and Izuku* izuku: woah! native:...nngh....nhuh? *The ice carries Native and Izuku to behind Todoroki* Todoroki: "You will not have them, Killer." Stain: "..." izuku: whatever happens, dont let him ingest your blood, he'll paralyze you! thats how he got us! Todoroki: "..." ("Hence the blades. Just keep my distance--") *SHUK!* izuku: !!! Todoroki: "!!!" *dodges knife thrown at him* Stain: *already in front of Todoroki* Todoroki: "!!!" *spots blood on his own cheek* ("He grazed me!") Stain: *tosses his sword up* Todoroki: "!!!" ("Got to dodge--but--") Stain: *tongue out--* Todoroki: *blasts fire off his shoulder, arm, and leg* Stain: *leaps back* Todoroki: ("He depends on simultaneous attacks...") Iida: "Leave...This is my fight...I inherited my brother's name! I--" Todoroki: *slams ice down to form a wall, blocking Stain*"...'Inherited'? Yeah. I know that. But you, 'Ingenium,' never made those faces...Murderous. Violent. Vengeful. I thought my family had a dark side..." Iida: "Wh-What are you--" izuku:...*finger twitch* !! Todoroki: "Stop obsessing. I know it's not healthy when--" *CRASH* Todoroki: "!!!" Stain: "...Obstruction is rarely good enough. This is poor strategy--" Todoroki: *backs up, charges up his flames* -STAB STAB STAB- Todoroki: *clutching an arm, with three knives now in it* -VREEEEEEN- izuku: *he grabbed him by the scarf* Todoroki: "!!! How did you--" izuku: i think the paralysis has a time limit! native: but he was the last one to get hit, i still cant move. Stain: "..." ("Damn O...") *lands* Todoroki: "Get back, Izuku!" *sends ice at the floor* "Dodge it!" izuku: *dodge* !! Stain: *dodges* Todoroki: "How are you moving, Izuku?" izuku: i managed to break free, but i was the last hit. maybe there is a time limit? or some alternative reason? Todoroki: "Whatever it is, that makes you are best shot..." izuku: right. i'll get his attention while you take up the rear. Todoroki: "We have to delay him until Endeavor and the other Pros arrive. Dodge." izuku: right! Todoroki: "Remember, protect them..." izuku: *he nods* Stain: "Appreciate the plan to go two against one, boys..." Todoroki: "..." {Todoroki: "Mother...I want to know..."} {yuki: ??} {Todoroki: "To control this fire...what should I do?"} {yuki: ...use your flames to protect people. i believe in you...} -...- {ochako: why your dad's agency? after all that he-} {Todoroki: "To learn to control my flames..."} {ochako: ...is that the only reason?} {Todoroki: "...Regardless what he has done, he has the experience of someone long in this profession. There is something I can learn from him."} {ochako: .....} {Todoroki: "I don't like it. But I want to try, to move beyond this hate...I don't want it to consume me."} {ochako:...then you give it your all!} {Todoroki: "..." *nods*} Todoroki: (" 'My power is my own,' right? Then it's time I prove it--by saving Iida and the others first.") Iida: *watching...* "...Stop..." Stain: *on all fours--slicing at Izuku's ankle* izuku: GAH! Iida: "Please, don't...I can't take it..." Todoroki: " 'Can't'? ...THEN STAND UP AND FIGHT! Be the hero you want to become! Remember who you are!"
