Prompt: "Just pretend to be my date"
When Aizawa mentioned class 1a was to attend the ceremony where the top ten heroes were announced, Bakugou panicked. Maybe it was because Denki and Shinsou had just gotten together, but Bakugou's lack of a partner had been weighing on him heavily. And while Aizawa hadn't said bringing a date was necessary, he had heavily implied it. To make matters worse, he had attempted to come out to his mom a couple of nights ago, and she was just not having it.
The solution to bakugou's problem? Get a boyfriend. He could take him to the ceremony, quit being a pathetic, lonely single extra, and make out with him to spite his mother. Bakugou didn't particularly have someone he wanted to date, though. Yes, he hated being single, but no one he knew seemed particularly up his alley. The ceremony was next week, though, and he was pressed for time. Bakugou swore he wouldn't be the only one to the ceremony without a date. How pathetic would that be? Instead, Bakugou vowed to get a boyfriend, even if he was a fake one. There was really only one candidate. Denki was going with Shinsou, Mina with Sero, and Jiro with Momo. That left one member of the so-called bakusquad: kirishima.
The blond growled in frustration as he knocked for the third time. Kirishima was clearly in his dorm, Bakugou could hear the bad singing from just outside. Shitty-hair clearly had his headphones in, so Bakugou pounded the door even louder.
"Shitty hair! Open the damn door!" Bakugou screeched. Fucking finally, he thoughed when the awful singing stopped. Kirishima opened the door, and Bakugou pushed his way in. No way in hell was he going to confess in the hallway.
"Bakubro! What's up?" Kirishima asked, taking his headphones off and putting them away.
"Shitty hair. I- You know the hero ceremony coming up?" Bakugou winced at the stutter. He hadn't been this nervous in a while, and even though it was just fake dating, he still feared rejection.
"Hell yeah I do! You got a date yet?" Kirishima asked, flopping onto his bed.
"I don't. Yet. That's why I'm here, actually." Bakugou sighed before continuing. "My mom is being a fucking bitch about the whole gay thing, and we both need dates for the ceremony" Bakugou carefully left out the part where he felt way too lonely and way too single. "So... We date each other. Well, we pretend to. Then we both have dates to the ceremony, and maybe my mom will take my sexuality seriously."
Slowly, Kirishima nodded. He was blushing like he wanted to say something more, but wasn't sure how to put it into words. "So... we would pretend to date? In front of all our friends and stuff, and especially in front of your mom?"
"Yeah. We can work out the fine details later. But like... Would you be cool with that?"
"I guess so." Kirishima paused, but then continued enthusiastically. "Nothings manlier than dating your homies, right?"
Bakugou wasn't sure what to say to that.
"... sure..."
----(time skip bc bree doesn't know how to write good transitions)----
The bakusquad had taken the news about the new couple surprisingly well. Concerningly well, actually.
"So... Shitty hair and I are dating." Bakugou said, awkwardly holding hands with the boy in question.
"Fucking Finally!" Mina screached.
"Thank god." Sero murmured, running a hand through Mina's hair.
