Getting into the hot stuff here, finally!

Bakugou leaned back in his chair, the nerd had been sleeping since he had finished the programming project the night before. Katsuki had put him to bed one last time, packed up his stuff and reluctantly gone back to his own place. Just those three days, even with Deku being a little crazy, had been really nice, he had enjoyed being a part of his life.

He stared at the blinking display. He was getting nothing done. He flicked off the monitor. He could hear the staff cleaning up, escorting the last patrons out of the bar. It had been a packed Saturday night with a line out on the sidewalk. Green curls invaded his thoughts. He wanted to see him again, but it was late and he was probably still recuperating.

There was a loud door slamming in the hall and a pounding on the stairs. Mina stopped breathlessly in the doorway, her head popping into the office. "It's on!" She laughed, dragging the very nerd he was thinking about helplessly behind her. Green eyes wide as he yelled at Mina to slow down, she pulled him down the stairs.

"Oi be careful with him!" Katsuki ran to the doorway.

"Deku?" He called. The nerd turned as Mina stopped to yell at Kiri. He gave the blonde a thumbs up and smiled.

'We could use some fun after last week'

"Count me in," he yelled as moved to his desk and opened the drawer. He pulled up the false bottom and grabbed two rolls of money. Turning behind his desk he looked at the rack of pool sticks. Running his hand over a few he reached up to the top one. "I think I am going to want you tonight." He pulled down a black maple stained pool cue with white, red and black Pacific Northwest style orcas inlaid along the handle. He held the stick in his hand, balanced perfectly.

Downstairs Izuku stumbled behind Mina as she pulled him through the restaurant to a small hallway in the back. A large opening revealed several small round tables being set up by Shinso and Sero. Kirishima followed behind them carrying pitchers of beer.

"You okay Midobro?" Kiri asked as he handed him a glass of beer.

Izuku flushed lightly, "I feel great Kiri, I slept over 18 hours, I was actually trying to figure out what to do tonight." He looked at everyone, "So what are we doing tonight?"

"Game Night!" Everyone yelled, laughing.

Looking around Izuku saw two dart boards on the far wall. Another large doorway led to a dark room on the other side.

Bakugou walked through the large doorway with Denki. He was wearing his usual bar attire of tight fit jeans and an unbelievably tight black and orange bar shirt.

Midoriya's mouth felt dry. This man sucked the wind out his lungs whenever he saw him. He had been able to cobble together a few memories and one that stood out vividly was a well-built Kacchan giving him a shower.

Katsuki held a shoebox filled with money in one hand and a pool stick in the other. "Alright this is what we have, everyone has been tipped out and you all decided on the minimum take between you. The rest," he grinned and winked at the nerd standing in the middle of the room, "is up for grabs"

"It's mine tonight," Shinso called, pointing at everyone.

"Bullshit," Mina laughed. "I have my eye on a new designer bag" she sniffed the money, "come to mama."

"Game night?" Izuku asked, confused.

"Midobro! Welcome to game night," Kiri grabbed him in a shoulder hug.
