MY HERO ACADEMIA SHORT STORIES

Bakugo Goes on a Date

Bakugo annoyedly pulled on the collar of the dress shirt Kirishima gave him, gritting his teeth in anger. It was the weekend, which meant Kaminari, Kirishima, Mina, and Sero had time to work together and plan something Bakugo knew for a fact he was going to hate.

At the moment, all he knew is he was forced to wear nice clothes and wait outside the entrance of the school campus for some mystery person. He wasn't sure what his friends would get out of this, but he could guess what it was they were up to. He huffed.

"Damn those idiots, why do they always have to force me to do stuff like this?" he muttered under his breath.

Suddenly, a pretty girl he recognized came running up to him from across the street. He was used to seeing her wear her hero costume, but today she was wearing a pretty knee-length dress. Bakugo growled, even more irritated than before. He could admit she was attractive, but she was by far the most annoying girl he ever met, even more annoying than the others.

"Camie," Bakugo snarled, crossing his arms.

"Hey there, prickly hair! Woah, you're looking real fresh today! That's totally poggers!" she happily exclaimed, smiling brightly at him, "You know I really wish I could've done this with Todoroki instead, but whatever! YOLO, right?"

"Speak English, moron! You're not even saying real words!" he shouted at her, already frustrated.

How was he supposed to interact with her when he couldn't even understand what she was saying half the time?

"Rude, aren't you gonna complement my outfit too?" Camie whined, crossing her own arms.

"What??" Bakugo was taken aback, almost offended by the remark.

Does she really think he's the type of person to complement people like her?

"Oh, right. You've probably never done this sort of thing before, have you?" Camie asked, shaking her head a little, "Funny, because you've got the looks going for ya. It must be because of your temper."

At this point Bakugo had no idea how to react, so he just grit his teeth and tried to keep himself from cussing her out. What did this girl want from him? What was she talking about? And why did his friends want him to meet her outside the school?

"Yo, I think we're supposed to go somewhere together for the day," Camie told him as if reading his mind, "Where do ya wanna go?"

Bakugo huffed. Go somewhere with her for the whole day? Yeah, right. Like that'll happen.

"In your dreams, I have things to do," he told her, turning to leave.

"One of your friends said you'd say that, they told me to tell you if you don't come with me, someone named 'Deku' or whatever is gonna follow you around all day," Camie told him matter-of-factly, "Come on, it'll be fun."

Bakugo froze in place, his blood boiling with rage. They really cornered him this time. Spend time with some weirdo girl he's only met a few times or spend time with wimpy, cry-baby Deku? Which is worse? He sighed heavily. The girl was only slightly more tolerable.

"Fine. Where are we going?" he muttered, turning back towards her.

"Well, if you're not gonna pick, then let's go to the mall!" Camie said, jumping up a little with excitement.

Bakugo rolled his eyes. The mall? He wasn't interested in shopping at all, but after thinking about it he decided he could look around for any additions to or inspiration for his gear.

"Whatever. Let's go."

He started off without her, marching down the street in the direction of the city. Camie rushed to catch up with him, and once she did, she made it her goal to get Bakugo to talk to her. She was aware of the type of person she was, and she was sure she'd be able to get him to fall for her charms somehow. She just had to figure out what he liked.
