Bakugo's POV:

Kirishima's mom drives all of us to the mall. It is a Tuesday so she doesn't have work today. She wants us to go the Festival up in Aomori on Friday, because it is the last day and they are going to have fireworks. I am excited about it, especially since we have kind of gotten into the same routine, but if it goes well I am going to ask Kirishima something, who knows maybe Summer Vacation can be even better than it already is.

We get out of the car and I close the door.

His mom, who had insisted that I don't bring my wallet, carries a purse with her as me and Kirishima walk side by side behind her. "Alright boys! So the people at the festival are going to be dressed up in all kinds of stuff! I don't think either of you will want to wear that stuff...if you do that is fine, but I know a place where there is some more traditional clothing that you guys can wear! Follow me!"

Me and Kirishima nod at each other and continue walking. We walk past a bunch of stores and a lot of them have some cool stuff in the window, but we keep walking. There isn't really anything festival orientated because we are pretty far south of it, but I figure that whatever store she is taking us to has festival stuff.

"Hey Bakugo, what do you think you are going to get? I think I want something black! I was thinking something red but then I figured that black would look better because it contrasts my hair." Kirishima turns as he walks so he is facing me.

"Uhh, I am not sure. I guess I will see what they have."

His mom turns and I hear a little scream from her, "OOOOO, BOYS! It is right up here come on!" She starts walking faster and Kirishima does so too. I sigh, but not louder enough for either of them to hear me, before walking a little faster, but still behind both of them. I don't know how I haven't gone deaf with both of these two screaming all of the time.

They get to the store first and walk in. I look around once I get there and it looks like a clothing store except most of it are kimonos and they are all kind of...flamboyant to say the least. I don't think I would wear anything in here.

"OOOO!" I hear coming from the side of the entrance. I turn and see Kirishima's mom pulling on a kimono with Kirishima right next to him, "This would be really cool! What do you think, Eijiro!?!"

"I don't know momma. I was thinking more of something subtle and black."

"Okay! What about you Katsuki!?!" She turns to look at me, thankfully I caught up to them before either of them noticed.

"It looks nice." The kimono she is holding is bright red with gold flowers on it, it's a boy's kimono but it looks like it should be a girl's, "But I don't really think it is for me. Not to be pushy, but do you think that I could get something other than a kimono?"

A smile comes to his mom's face as she lets go of the kimono, "OF COURSE HONEY! We will get you whatever you want!"

"If that's what you are looking for, then you should be looking closer to the back." All three of us turn to the side to see a blonde girl standing there. Her name tag and statement implying she is a worker.

Kirishima's mom steps forward, "Oh okay! Thank you so much!"

The blonde turns and we follow her to the back of the store, where it seems like a different place compared to up front.

Kirishima's voice rings throughout the store, "Wow! This looks awesome!" I turn to where he is standing and he is looking at a mannequin with a white sash above his hip line and black pants. "Momma can we get this?"

I look to Kirishima's mom, who is standing next to the blonde worker, "Hmmm! Well aren't you going to be cold honey!?!"

"No, it's the middle of Summer. I will be fine! Besides it looks super cool." Kirishima smiles, forcing his eyes to close. I turn to look back at his mom.
