Katsuki's pov

"So? You're telling me? That he really fucking electrocuted himself by putting scissors in the damn outlet?" The redhead nodded as I looked at my hands, dumbfounded. "And he was how old?"

"Twenty two."

"And how old is he now?"

He snorted out a laugh as he sipped on his virgin mojito. "Twenty six."

"Oh my god he sounds so stupid."

He laughed out loud and I smiled. "Yeah, he can be dumb sometimes, but you gotta love Denki." I nodded and rubbed my temples slightly, getting a headache from the loud music. He grabbed one of my hands as I set them on the bar and I looked over to see him smiling softly. "You uh-...wanna get out of here? It's almost eleven." I checked the time and considered it. He seemed like a nice guy, and we were both sober.

"Yeah, one sec." I hopped up and headed over to where Mina was talking to the guy and girl from earlier. "Pinky." She looked over and held a finger up to tell them she'd be back in a minute. Walking over she placed her hands on her hips.

"Everything okay?"

I nodded and pulled her close, getting close to her ear. "You gonna be okay on your own?"

She pulled back with a smile on her face as she darted her eyes around. "Who is it!?"

I shushed her and pointed to Eijiro. "Him. Now, do you have your pepper spray?" She nodded as she looked The redhead up and down.

"Damn...you lucky Bitch."

I grabbed her chin gently and made her look at me. "Do you remember the key trick?"

She groaned and nodded as best she could. "Yes, Katsuki, I'm not five."

I sighed and released her chin, crossing my arms. "I know. I just don't want you getting hurt."

She smiled softly and patted my arm. "I'll be fine. Now go with your hunk of meat! Don't call me until after lunch tomorrow because I'm gonna get fucked up tonight."

I chuckled as she turned and sighed. "Okay, Mina, call Kyoka if you need anything!" I shook my head as she shot me a thumbs up and made my way back to Eijiro.

"Hi," He smiled.

"Hey. I'm ready."

He nodded and took my hand. "After you." I smiled and he started following me to the door.

"Mi'lady."

I laughed as he opened the passenger door to a truck and I climbed in. He shut the door and walked to the other side, buckling up and starting the engine. "Didn't your parents ever teach you about getting in a strangers car?"

"Yeah, but they said creepy guys. Not hot guys from the bar." He flashed me a smile as we pulled out of the parking lot and I raised a brow. "Didn't you drink?"

He shrugged. "No alcohol. I had only just gotten there when I came to your rescue." I hummed and leaned back against the leather seats as I took in the nice interior of the truck.

"I love your car. It's so clean."

He started laughing and glanced at me. "That's so random."
