Chapter Thirteen: Add a Little Bit of Spice

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Bakugo sighed as he clicked another link. The blue light of the computer screen aching his eyes, making them water. He wiped the tired tears away with the back of his hands as a yawn escaped his mouth.

Training was definitely a handful today.

Even though Y/N told him she wasn't on a stupid weight loss diet, but rather that she was fasting because it was Ramadan, he was yet again, at his desk feeding his ever growing curiosity on the faith.

His red eyes adjusted back onto the screen as he read another article about the importance of fasting in Islam.

Bakugo was still not sure what it was, Why would some starve themselves for religious matters? Isn't religion suppose to be something that helps people?

This reminded back to the time where he didn't understand why Muslims would pray five times a day. The act reminded him of how Japanese people would go to temples to show gratitude or wish for good prayers. But they obviously weren't the same thing.

Visiting a shrine or temple was the most religious thing Bakugo knew from his own family. It was the only religious thing he had experienced and he didn't really feel anything towards it but something about praying five times a day caught his interest.

Finally, Bakugo came to the conclusion that it probably interested him because the act of praying for a Muslim held a strong meaningfulness and it was something preciously important to them. And he respected that.

So if he respected that, why would Ramadan be any different? It must of had a valid meaning for millions of people to follow it.

Bakugo leaned back in his chair with another heavy sigh, his eyes trailed back to the screen. Skimming through the information about the core reasoning for fasting and why it was important.

Now reading those points, made it clear why his shitty classmates were so captivated by wanting to try fasting. Bakugo closed off the internet tab and shutdown the computer, he should probably go to sleep it was way past midnight.

3:00 AM

Bakugo got up from his chair and stretched out his limbs as a small yawn escaped his lips.

"Y/N! Should we set the table now?"

The loud question from the common room caught his attention, he remembered that Kirishima and Mina where both overly excited to try fasting tomorrow and invited all the whole class to join them for a 'midnight feast'.

After contemplating for a few moments, Bakugo gave in to his desire and made his way to the shared kitchen and dining room. The kitchen was occupied by Uraraka, Mina, Momo and Y/N. While Kirishima, Sero and Kaminari were trying to set the tables and some other classmates sitting on the sofa.
