Chapter 24 

"I am not being fucking blindfolded."

Bakugo stubbornly crossed his arms and plopped on a cushion.

"Ah, come on blasty! It'll be fun. Besides. We have to humor each other on date night. It's sacred." He snorted at my newly minted rule.

"Yeah, yeah. I was just complaining. I'm not gonna back out, squish."

I squealed and sat down at the head of the table. Shinsou sat across from Bakugo and placed his elbows on the table to get our attention.

"This is how it works. One person will be blindfolded at a time. The other two will decide on what to feed them. The person to successfully guess the four dishes they are served will be the winner. Winner gets to ask the losers for one favor."

My eyes narrowed, not sure if I liked the stakes. This could honestly go in so many directions.

Several workers walked in. They had covered platters and my curiosity was killing me. They placed the dishes down and walked out. Our original waiter came in and dropped off a pitcher of tea and water.

"Okay, before we start this, we should lay down some ground rules. Shinsou, since this is your date, why don't you decide."

He nodded and then gave me a mischievous smirk.

"Are you sure you want me setting the rules? You are outnumbered two to one. How about I make this a little fairer. You can veto and set one rule." I turned to Bakugo to see him giving me a similar look.

"Okay. Bring it. I don't have to remind either of you just how competitive I am!"

We played rock paper scissors to determine the order of participation. Of course, I had to go first. Shinsou knelt behind me and pulled out a black blindfold. The last thing I saw before my eyes were covered was a slow smirk gracing both of their lips.

"Don't you get any ideas! I am trusting you with this... I don't like having my sight cut off." The atmosphere changed slightly at my quiet admission.

"Do we need to just let you hold your eyes closed? I wouldn't want to accidentally trigger you." Shinsou's hands ran down my arms, relaxing me with his touch.

"No. I want to do this. If I can't face my fears with you, then I'll never overcome them. We're in this together." I placed my hands over his, smiling slowly.

"Just because you're fucking hot doesn't mean we're going easy on you. I don't lose." I heard a dish open and several smells overloaded my senses.

"Alright, remember, four dishes to guess." I nodded and opened my mouth when I was told to.

Chewing slowly, I scrunched up my brow a thought for a moment.

"Smoked Salmon glazed with... honey? Do I have to be super specific?" A napkin brushed against my lips and I smiled.

"No, that works. You'll get to see the dishes once your turn is over."

"Open up," Bakugo whispered in my ear. I shivered and opened my mouth to say something snarky.

"Listen here-"

He cut me off by shoving something in my mouth. I swiped at him and he caught my arm, snickering. His hold was gentle, letting me know I wasn't actually restrained.
