Pandora's Gift

Chapter 20

It had not taken the group long before plates were empty and stomachs were full. Bakugou and Sakaki had bickered almost the entire meal about something or anything. It had started with the wasabi and at some point had evolved to them bickering about who could make a better dinner. Even though both parties were fully aware that Bakugou would win. But Sakaki wasn't one to back down, especially when challenged by an alpha. It was so bad at first Sasara thought the woman completely hated alpha's and in some ways she did.

Sakaki hated the way most alpha's had treated her growing up, and at first she had been too shy and weak to do much about it. But as she gained strength and courage she got better about standing up to alpha's and now even someone as aggressive as Bakugou no longer had her cowering in corners. Though arguing with her own instincts was not usually fun she still refused to bend to the will of an alpha. And of course even with friends she refused to back down to the simplest of challenges.

Of course as the waiter dropped off the bill on the table Sakaki was not going to just let the guys pay for her meal. That started an entirely new war between the blonde man and dark haired woman who wanted to pay for her own meal and Sasara's and Hatori's.

"Just let me pay for Sasara and my meal!" The blonde seemed down right pissed that the woman wouldn't just accept a free meal. Which in turn had her even more pissed off.

"No now put your fucking wallet away!" Bakugou barked. There was nothing worse than watching the two get into a screaming match that had the entire restaurant watching and the poor wait staff standing around unsure how to approach the pro hero's arguing in the dining area since both of them refused to back down.

In the end Kirishima scooped up the bill and paid as both parties turned to glare at him as soon as they heard the waiter thank Kirishima and wished him a good night. Sakaki was pouting with her arms crossed over her chest, unhappy with Kirishima having bought everyone's meals. She wanted nothing more than to rip the man a new ass for doing that. He should have known better than to pay for her meal. Although it was completely meant to be nice she was still pouting unhappy.

"You didn't have to do that Kirishima," the dark haired woman was grumbling under her breath.

"Well I had to think of a way to end your arguing somehow," he was completely teasing her as he flashed the woman a toothy smile which in turn had her blushing at the fact she had made a scene so bad that Kirishima had to step in like that.

"Sorry about that," she mumbled, now embarrassed about her actions over the bill for the food.

"Shun you're too stubborn for your own good," Her best friend giggled softly as she grabbed her son's hand and started leading her son out of the restaurant. Which had all three hero's following the silver haired woman and her son as they left the restaurant.

"I can't help it," the woman mumbled back at her friend. Which in turn had Sasara smiling happily at her friend.

"Well it's getting late. Hatori still needs a bath before bed. Thank you again Kirishima for the meal," Sasara said as the group stepped out onto the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. She was looking down at Hatori when Sakaki quickly dug her elbow into the red heads side when he didn't instantly reply to the silver haired woman. He nearly grunted at the pain of her sharp elbow jabbing into his ribs. Well if he hadn't been such a big baby she wouldn't have had to dig her elbow into his ribs. But clearly the man needed some help forcing his brain to function.

"Oh uhm it wasn't a problem. Uhm it is late. You shouldn't walk home alone, let me walk you home. After all it wouldn't be very manly of a hero letting a woman and young kid walk home alone," Kirishima seemed to struggle to get his words out, nearly tongue tied, his face nearly matching his hair colour as a large hand moved up to nervously rub the back of his neck.
