"Bakugou, Kirishima! I'm so glad you both are here!" Yaoyorozu greeted them with a warm smile.

"Yeah, it took some convincing—this guy's as stubborn as ever," Kirishima said with a grin, nudging Katsuki playfully, making Yaoyorozu laugh.

Katsuki let out a tch.

"At long last, you two have arrived!" Mina yelled as she ran towards them.

"Oh man, is that alcohol I smell? Hold on—did Iida actually approve this?" Kirishima asked, wrinkling his nose.

"Yeah, but it wasn't easy to talk him into it!"

Katsuki scowled, "Are you gonna let us in or what? I'm not here to stand around."

"Oh, right! COME ON IN, TIME TO HAVE SOME FUUUUN!!"

"HELL YEAH!!" Kirishima shouted, grabbing Katsuki by the arm and pulling him inside.

LED lights were hung where the walls met the ceiling and were slowly changing colors. Happy music played perfumes and the aroma of fine dining mingled. Everything was pulled over to the side, near the food tables, to make room for dancing in the center of the room.

Despite the fact that it appeared to be a high-class event, no one took it as such. They were all teenagers out to have fun, so there were plenty of fraternal fist bumps and sudden barks of laughter, as well as a few rowdy friends.

There was a pile of boxes and bottles containing different alcoholic drinks, one of which had already been opened and there numerous red cups on the kitchen counters.

Kaminari opened a strange bottle labeled simply VODKA and poured it into Izuku's cup. Izuku had never tasted anything that so badly that burned his throat. After a few sips, he decided he didn't like how it made him feel and poured it down the drain, which everyone witnessed and laughed at.

Katsuki tried everything to find the right moment to talk with Izuku, but nothing seemed to work because everyone kept pulling the nerd to congratulate and talk to him.

Izuku threw his hands in the air with an excited whoop after a few rounds of uno and other party games, Katsuki frowned from the kitchen.

"I think he had several drinks," Sero laughed, handing him another cup.

Katsuki's gaze never left Izuku, and when he finally saw him alone in a corner, looking bothered, he seized the opportunity and walked towards him.

"Hey, shit nerd!" Katsuki could feel his throat itch.

As Izuku turned to face him, Katsuki's face flushed. Izuku's face was flushed as well. Is he drunk?

"H-hey, Kacchan!"

Here goes nothing.

"Come with me, let's talk." Katsuki claims. "Outside."

Izuku appears surprised; this was the first time Katsuki approached him and demanded to talk to him after he began ignoring him for weeks.

"S-sure!"

Before leaving, Katsuki glance at Kirishima, who is giving him a smile and a thumbs up, assuring him that everything will be fine.

When Katsuki looks at Izuku, his heart skips another beat. As a raging heat spread across his chest, he felt his heart explode into flames.

Perhaps it was because he had a few drinks, or perhaps it was because the smell of grass filled the air and was soothing in some ways.

Or the quietness of the night that created a tranquil atmosphere.
