Collision; a BakuDeku story

Chapter 5

Midoriya was starting to get a bit worried.
Usually Bakugo would get home around 6 PM and the clock was already close to 8 PM.

Midoriya kept checking the news to make sure that Bakugo wasn't injured and ended up at the hospital but so far there was nothing. And calling wasn't the safest option since Bakugo told him to directly contact him only in case of an emergency that involved potential death.

In his distressful housewife mode Midoriya ended up making Bakugo's favorite meal just in case he had a bad day. Though, in Bakugo's case, every other day was a bad day.

He ignored the flutter of his heart when he heard the door being unlocked and without thinking he headed towards them, a goofy smile on his face.

"You're finally back, I was starting to get a little worr-" the smile from his face dropped when he saw that Bakugo had an irritated expression on his face and that he wasn't alone "-ied."

It was one thing to see the Number Three in public and another in private while he stood awkwardly in the hallway.

"Oh wow something smells amazing!"
Akuma's voice came from the back.

*      *      *      *      *

"Think you can do that? "

"Yeah, I have some people in mind that could be useful." Midoriya answered Akuma while finishing his bowl.

Good thing he ended up making so much food because Bakugo and the two extra guests had worked up an appetite.

Turns out that before all the details of Bakugo's and Todoroki's team up mission were settled both of them needed to get out on the field.
So they all ended up meeting at Bakugo's place since he was practically starving and not even a snickers bar would help in that situation.

The overall dinner atmosphere was quite nice, most of the talking was done by Midoriya and Akuma, with Todoroki chirping in here and there. Bakugo would just make cocky remarks when his mouth wasn't stuffed with food.

Midoriya glanced at Japan's Number Three Hero; turns out that the long haired man that sat opposite of him wasn't as cold as people made him to be, he was just a bit socially awkward but surprisingly down to earth. Though his presence still made Midoriya's old fanboy heart skip a beat.

"You guys want seconds? " Midoriya asked them all once he noticed that they finished their shares.

He couldn't help not to chuckle when all three silently handed him the empty bowls, Bakugo still chewing his share.

"This is really good," Todoroki commented while preparing to take a bite out of the cold soba "I can't remember the last time I had a homemade meal."

"You're not home often? " Midoriya asked him while refilling Akuma's bowl.

"Not as of recently, Hero duties and interviews have been piling up."

Bakugo couldn't help not to sneer at that.
"I'm surprised you can keep up."

"I'm surprised you actually have a close friend." Todoroki fired back, though his tone suggested that he meant it as a simple statement.

"He's not a friend and we're not close."
Bakugo let out a low grouch when the tip of Akuma's heel made contact with his knee.

"Seriously? " Midoriya raised an eyebrow as he handed Bakugo his bowl "I make you dinner and this is the thanks I get."
