Liability ~ Bakugo X OC

Drunken Touches Aren't Yours

"Tamiko was there?" Yuki stared at the video footage from the fight with Botan.

    Deku had successfully taken Botan down and he was locked up for questioning. That is, he was locked up until he swallowed a cracked tooth laced in some sort of venom and died in the middle of the night.

    "We've requested assistance from Deku, Endeavor, and Dynamight's research teams." Togashi ran a hand through his black hair. "This is looking like a job above our pay grade, Tanaka."

    Yuki nodded while watching the footage. It zipped slowly through frame by frame. "Now what?"

    "We wait till the pros get back to us. They'll let us know before making any moves."

    Yuki stood outside the Dynamighty. She pulled her scarf tighter around her neck and wondered if Bakugo was up in that penthouse staring down at her. The other night, she'd waited until he fell asleep again before leaving the hospital. He'd checked out the next day under a promise of house rest for at least two weeks.

    Her flight was in a few days. To America. It'd be their first Christmas since they met that they hadn't spent together. Yuki shoved her hands in her pockets and kept walking down the block.

    "Pebble!"

    Kirishima stood in front of her in his hero getup—he wore a black long-sleeved thermal during winter time—and grinned down at her. "Want to come in? I just finished patrol. We can get something to eat."

    "Sure." No, she wanted to say.

    They walked together and the assistant at the front desk smiled at Yuki. "Katsuki wanted me to tell him if you showed up."

    "Please don't, Aiko," Yuki said. "I'm just waiting on Eijirou."

    Aiko nodded and typed on her computer. "You're on the Tada case, right?"

    Yuki smiled and pulled out her phone. "I'm off duty right now. Can't talk about it."

    Kirishima ran out from the stairwell in a red flannel and jeans. Aiko blushed and Kirishima winked at her when he slid his company card in the check-out box. "Ready?"

    Yuki and Kirishima strolled down the block and stopped at a sushi bar. They laughed together till the sun set. Yuki poured Kirishima a small glass of sake and he returned the favor. The sky hailed down on the street, so Yuki and Kirishima decided to order another round of sake while they waited for it to temper down.

    "Kaminari? He's not that stupid! He'd use protection."

    Kirishima shook his head. "That's what Mina said!"

    Yuki giggled and downed another shot. She rested her head against Kirishima's arm. "Man, I haven't seen him in so long. If that's true, the next time I see him he'll probably be carrying a diaper bag around!"

    "Watch it be twins!"

    They burst out laughing. She honestly thought Uraraka and Midoriya would've been the first with kids, not playboy Kaminari. Yuki sunk another shot and hiccuped. Her cheeks burned and her eyes were incredibly blurry. When she tried for another, Kirishima pulled it from her hands.

    "It looks pretty safe out there."

    Kirishima walked Yuki home. She stumbled and couldn't press the button on the elevator, so he did it for her. He also entered the code to her apartment and made sure she got inside safe.

    "Ei?"

    "Yeah?"

    "Please don't leave."

    Kirishima took a deep breath. His hand hovered over the doorknob and red creeped up the back of his neck and ears. He shook his head.

    "Oh come on," Yuki hiccuped, "I know you want to stay."

Kirishima spun and towered over Yuki. His alcoholic breath tickled her skin when he peered at her lips. Yuki gulped and leaned into him.

It wasn't like kissing Bakugo, Yuki realized. Kirishima's lips weren't scratchy and they weren't hungry enough to be Bakugo's. Her heart pounded loud in her ears, but there was one big problem with it.

It wasn't hers.

When Kirishima broke the kiss, a giant grin plastered across his face. That is, until he saw the puzzled brows scrunching together on Yuki's forehead. And then Yuki's gut hopped out and took a stroll on the ground.

"Ei—"

"It's okay," he whispered. "I'll call in the morning, okay?"

    Before she could say anything, he was out the door.
