'Just Another Love Story'

Chapter 37

"We have been to 6 stores and you're shopped out?" He watches as Tenya takes a seat at one of the benches in the mall, putting down the 2 bags he has beside him.

"Well, it was actually 5.5, you entered that one store by yourself as I stood outside."

"5, 6, it doesn't matter." Akamine takes a seat beside him, putting down his 4 bags that he was holding in a single hand. "But how have had enough already?"

"I'm not really much of a shopper, I tend to save more than spending." Tenya lools at Akamine. "Why, are you supposedly shopped out too?"

"Nope, got to get one more thing, but you need to stay here and watch my stuff." Akamine gets up, leaving the bags behind.

"Why can't I go with you? It's nothing to be ashamed of if you don't want me seeing."

"No, it's literally like right over there. " he points out a store not too far away, but far enough and at the right angle for Tenya to be unable to see the name of it. "There is no need for you to get up to walk over there, and I can handle myself."

"I would have more of a problem if it was someone else telling me this." Tenya brings the 4 bags closer to him. "I trust you, go ahead."

"I was definitly not asking for permission, by the way." Akamine walks away, heading into the place that he was not telling of.

As he sat there, he was silently just sort of looking around. Something then caught his attention, leading him to just stare in confusion. He couldn't really tell who the people were or even their gender but he could tell they were kissing each other deeply in the middle of a busy mall.

"What in the world?" He whispers to himself, like why couldn't those people pick somewhere else to do that sort of affectionate thing?

He had no idea he was staring directly at 2 people in his class, the 2 people no one would really expect to be doing that thing (more of one than the other). Tenya had no idea that he was directly staring at Katsuki Bakugo and Ejiro Kirishima kissing in the mall.

"Here you go." He focused on what was put in front of him from behind, which happened to be a cup. Then, out of nowhere, a straw is violently poked in.

"What is this?" He takes the cup into his hands, looking at Akamine with concern. "Ut won't poison me, right?"

"If it would poison you then why is it in the mall?" Akamine takes a seat back where he was on the bench. "Also, it's boba tea."

"Oh, if you say so then."

Tenya took a sip, but in that sip contained a nice boba ball that full on went down his throat without warning. Next thing he knew, he was in a coughing fit from it.

"Oh my gosh!" Akamine took the cup out of Tenya's hands so he could at least do something (not sure what exactly), panicked a bit. "Do you not know how to drink things? It is a basic human thing!"

It took a good minute before he stopped, clearly alarmed from it but also trying to figure out his normal breathing.

"Do you still want it?" Akamine stared at him, questioning if the deadly boba should be disposed of.

"I would rather not." Akamine sipped his, looking for somewhere to get rid of the other very choke hazardig one.

There was an extended silence between them, Tenya clearly drained from both the mall and the boba tea while Akamine straight up has had enough of being at the loud obnoxious place.

"You good now?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Did you despose of the boba?"

"Yes, now, we should probably head to the meeting spot." Looking at the time, it was nearing time to get out of there.

Both made there way over, silently walking as all they could hear was everyone else but them. Yet, as they were walking Tenya had a really stupid idea.

"Iida, what are you-" Akamine watched as Tenya took a sip, stunned completely. "It's a bit-"

Tenya knew the mistake he made once it kicked in, because for some odd reason he could not explain, it had a sour punch to it. That sour punch led to it again, the coughing fit of boba tea.

"Iida!" It was a pain to watch this happen, again, for the second time in a row. "Breathe!"

Akamine knew that he should make a simple note to himself, to never let Tenya Iida drink boba iunless you want him to possibly die from basically choking on it.

Because of that horrific scene, they were the last ones to show up at the meeting point. Of course they didn't mention the death boba because it is 100 percent stupid to say a cup of literal deliciousness can make you 15 minutes late.

Tenya could not believe after 2 coughing fits, he wasn't even remotely close to even be awake anymore, he was so drained. After the second one, Akamine had to literally buy him a bottle of water because he apparently looked like *beep* which then led to them sitting around for 10 minutes.

On the way back, Akamine's phone rang, showing a number of the man he hated. Yet, the boy still answered it anyway, despite not wanting to.

"What do you want you pain in the *beep* *beep*?"

"Let your friends know I want them next week."

"I'm sorry, what?" Akamine had no idea what his father was asking of him.

"Bakugo and Todoroki, tell them that if they both really do want to work with me, they must show up at the agency next week."

"Have you ever heard of education?" Akamine questions, Tenya giving him really weird looks. "They kind of go to school you know."

"Don't worry about that, you're going to be here anyway with them if they do decided to show up."

"But I don't want to go." He states clearly, sipping is boba in anger.

"I'll do double pay the entire week you are here."

Akamine would work for hours if it meant double pay, no one is for sure why he likes it but he does.

"Well then, I hope to see you Sunday." He does not hope to see that man's face, but Sunday, the beginning of a new week, he'll more likely be working.

He hung up right after, not even bothering to say a goodbye.

You know those moments when you are just breathing and then you just breath in and you randomly start to basically choke on air?
It's my inspiration for this chapter.
