by the end of the day, mina was a lot happier and was really excited about the movie night with her class. she'd texted everyone individually to be there by 7, and y/n was excited too. she'd never watched a movie with anyone other than her family so a big group of people, even if she didnt know most of them, was exciting.

she was in her dorm getting ready for it, fixing her makeup and deciding what to wear, when her phone lit up with a text from bakugou.

bakugou (mina's friend)

despite the small shred of disappointment she'd felt when bakugou had said he wasnt going, she decided to move on. no point getting upset when all her friends would be there, minus izuku because he'd refused to be in a room with sero after he'd spilled coffee over a project he was working on.

rushing out of her dorm, now running slightly late, she legged it through the halls and ran straight into kaminari, who also happened to be running late.

"kami! oh my god, sorry. i havent seen you in ages!" she gushed.

kaminari smiled, nodding in agreement. "i know! it dont see enough of you anymore," he laughed, walking with her to the class A common room.

y/n sighed and nodded. "i know i know. i got really caught up in studying for a few weeks, so i didnt see much of anyone, really. it woukd be easier if i had your number," she laughs.

kaminari shakes his head, laughing. "absolutely not. if i had your number i'd never shut up. you're the only one that doesnt tell me to be quiet when i'm telling the same stories for the millionth time. you'd be sick of me in days."

"i wouldnt, but okay." she smiles, having gone round in circles about this before.

as they approached the door of the common room, kaminari spotted bakugou walking towards it from the other direction. "hey look! its bakugou," he says excitedly.

bakugou scowls when he sees y/n and kaminari, groaning under his breath.

as they all reach the door, y/n smile at him. "hey, thought you werent coming."

"i said i didnt think i would. but i'm leaving in 40 minutes." he says roughly.

"of course," she laughs.

"hey, no! why dont you stay for the whole thing! i know youre strict about what time you sleep but surely it's okay just this once?" he asks, hoping his friend will stay for the film.

"not a fucking chance," bakugou snaps, walking in first.

surprisingly, no one was sitting on the couch except mina. when the light filters in through the door she turns around and smiles. "hey! i saved you guys some seats!"

walking over, the three of them take a seat on the couch, bakugou sitting on the far right, y/n next to him, and denki sitting on the other end of the couch, wedged between the arm rest and mina.

the movie, which jiro had picked, was about a group of university students going through life with all the trauma they'd had from growing up. some of the characters were awful and terrible people, but they were all really well written and jiro had said she thought the actors did a really good job portraying each persons faults.

kirishima found the film on a streaming platform and put it on, excited to see for himself what his classmate had spoken so highly of.

twenty minutes into the film, bakugou was growing restless next to y/n, checking his watch every five minutes and sighing.

she looked over at him and frowned. "whats wrong?"

he grunted quietly, waving her off. "what makes you think something's wrong?"

"you keep checking the time and you look like you cant wait to get out of here." she says, examining his demeanour with a skeptical eye.

"its almost eight," he murmurs, allowing himself to sink into the couch slightly.

"in thirty minutes," she acknowledges, nodding her head. "well...i said you could leave, so if you want to i won't stop you."

he nods, standing up from the couch and turning for the door. except before he can take more than a few steps, kirishima notices from a chair on the left of the room.

"bro, where are you going? stay for the film!" he whispers, smiling.

bakugou scrapes a hand down over his face and shakes his head.

"bakugou—" he tries again but before he can say anything else, y/n cuts him off.

"kirishima," she says softly, shaking her head.

kirishima nods and lets him leave, though he's disappointed his friend is leaving so early.

the rest of the film flies by and by the end of it everyone is actually impressed by the film, murmurs of how good it was lingering in the group.

she didnt hear from bakugou for the rest of the night and heads to bed when everyone dispersed and went to their dorms.

tonight, she thought, was a good night.
