Pandora's Gift

Chapter 6

The next day was nearly the same as the last though this time Sakaki felt like she came prepared for the morning coffee cups in hand. She may have called the lovely secretary she had met on her first day walking into the agency and bribed her with the choice of a coffee in exchange for telling the woman how Dynamite and Red Riot liked their coffee.

Should she have been surprised that Bakugou liked his coffee black? Some days she wondered if the man had any taste buds left or if he simply had burned them all off. Kirishima on the other hand was a much more reasonable person. He likes his coffee rather sweet which she was surprised about for a second but maybe that's where all that sweet energy came from?

She sat in the middle not feeling the need to load her coffee with enough sugar to nearly melt one's teeth but she needed some sweetener as she could drink black coffee. It was almost funny to see another perfect example of how the two men were completely opposite from one another. It almost made her chuckle as she left the bribe on the front desk before walking to the elevator and heading up to the joint office.

"Good morning boys," she said after tapping on the door lightly with her boot, giving the guys barely three seconds before she was strolling into the room. Both men were sitting at their desks, both in full gear and uniform. Though it seemed they were trying to get some work before getting busy with their mornings. As always Kirishima greeted her with his million dollar sharped tooth grin. Which had the woman returning a wide grin as well. While Bakugou didn't even glance up from his papers before him.

"Good morning Sakaki," Kirishima greeted her warmly while Bakugou remained silent. Walking up she was quick to pull his coffee out of the cup holder in her hand.

"Good Morning Kirishima, Bakugou. I brought some caffeine for us," she said with a light chuckle as she handed over his coffee which he gave her a soft thanks before he took a sip. She could see his shoulders visibly relax.

"Geez Kirishima, how have your teeth not rotted away drinking such sweet coffee?" She asked, unable to help the playful question as she watched the redhead laugh as she moved over to place Bakugou's coffee on his desk. Of course he didn't say thanks but he did reach out and take a sip of the coffee carefully almost as I'd he was scared it may be something else. Once he realized it was how he liked it he took another sip.

"I brush my teeth afterwards. Gotta keep the pearly whites, well pearly white," he said with a chuckle at her teasing. She had turned to face Kirishima as she leaned against Bakugou's desk.

"Hey dumbass get the fuck off my desk!" Was the growl that came from Bakugou. Which had the woman rolling her eyes at him before she pushed off the desk and walked over to Kirishima's only to do the same thing at his desk that she had done at Bakugou's desk.

"So the plans the same today as yesterday correct?" She asked, glancing over at the red head.

"Yes. Though it sounds like tomorrow we will try changing things around. You and Bakugou will be doing patrols tomorrow and I'll be staking out with a side kick," the red head answered. Though this had the woman's eyes light up.

"Yes about damn time. I hate stake outs," she said, being a little too excited though the thought of doing the patrol with Bakugou did not sound fun she still would much rather spend the day on her feet walking and doing something. She didn't have the attention span and patience to sit for half a day just watching people come and go from a warehouse. Though it sucked that she had to spend this day sitting on her ass all day. But she could take out her pent up energy tomorrow on whatever criminals she could encounter. She really hoped something would happen tomorrow.

"Calm down dumb ass. Today we are still working the stake out," was the growl from Bakugou.

"I'm gonna be excited for a patrol as much as I want. And I'm not stupid I know I am still stuck sitting beside your boring ass all day," she growled back. Kirishima almost sighed at the way the two fought like cats and dogs. And yet Bakugou was still being rather tame, for the time being at least.
