Not A Bad Idea

Part Two of my Second Two-Part Chapter: Part Two: The Return

"What I don't get is that we need to get a battery power Nerf gun?" Shouto asked as he unloaded the last of the grocery bags.

"What I don't get is why we got two air mattresses?" Bakugou mocked as put all the reusable bags Todoroki bought that day under the sink.

"You'll find out later, now we gotta get upstairs," Shouto said as he went up the stairs with two bottles of lemonade. "We have a podcast to run."

"What's the first topic?"

"Creepy Christmas songs," Shouto answered. "I found quite a few."

"Baby, it's cold outside, is about a man attempting to convince a lady to stay," Todoroki explained. "Even him using some form of date-rape drug in her drink, and constantly defecting all the questions she has."

Bakugou let out a low whistle at that. "Where do you find these?"

"Pinterest," Todoroki says with full honesty.

"You heard it here first folks," Bakugou said, grabbing the mic's stand to bring it closer to his face. "Ace is a Pinterest mom."

"I'd rather be the mysteriously rich, divorced, wine aunt," Shouto snarked back.

"You do radiate wine aunt energy," Katsuki agreed as he moved back the mic. "But let's go back to the song, kids sing that talent shows. Fucking talent shows, is there not a blacklist for songs and topics?"

"Kids could just lie you know," Shouto sent Bakugou a knowing smirk. "They're pretty good at it."

"More flour!" Todoroki yelled at Bakugou who just put in six cups. "Trust me, but the other two cups."

"It'll be too dense you fuckin' dimwit," Katsuki explained as he flicked flour at Shouto's face. "It'll feel like Play-dough."

Todoroki grabbed the other's wrist and moved it out of his face. "My kitchen, my rules."

"Alright, Gordon Ramsey, cool it," Bakugou raised his hands in surrender. "I'll add more, don't get your panties in a twist."

"These cookies will be delectable, just you wait," Shouto said as got back to mixing the add-ins. "You want me to play some music, hearing you struggle with the measurements is kinda boring."

"Asshole," Katsuki mumbled as he added another cup of flour. "You're gonna play a song anyway."

"You know me too well," Shouto hummed as he got on his phone and pressed a song on his playlist. "You might know this one."

The sounds of birds in the forest start out and Katsuki shoots Shouto a look over his shoulder, then the sound of almost a choir joined in getting louder and louder. Abruptly, that stopped for the sake of a piano, and Bakugou had to remember from his vast knowledge (mostly Sero and Mina's input) of songs to find out what Shouto picked.

"Coldplay! You liste- of course you listen to Coldplay," Bakugou sighed.

"Oh, angels sent from up above; you know you make my world light up," Todoroki sang instead of replying. "When I was down, when I was hurt; you came to lift me up."

"Life is a drink, so love's a drug; oh now I think I'm miles up," Katsuki couldn't lie, Hymn for the Weekend was a good sing-along. "When I was hurt, withered, dried up; you came to a flood," Bakugou sang as he dumped the last of the flour into the bowl, he even pushed up his sleeves since there was no way the spoon wouldn't break.
