Knots in First Year | Bakugo x Deku

Chapter 15

Katsuki panicked at the familiar sight of two of his classmates ahead of Izuku. Luckily the blonde was hidden in the large crowd quite far behind Izuku, so he tried his best to hide himself while keeping distance from the arcade. He hobbled into the NSFW store next to the arcade and went to the very back, hiding himself behind a small wall in the middle of the store. He didn't realize what kind of store it was until after grabbing his phone from his pocket and looking up around him, noticing magazines and posters of naked women around him. He honestly wasn't that shocked, if anything he was disgusted. He let out a 'Tch' before hurrying to text Izuku where he went.

At the same time Katsuki panicked, Izuku ran into the two girls while he just wasn't paying attention. He screamed at them immediately in surprise.

    "UR- URARAKA? T-TSU? WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?" Izuku screamed at them.

    "Wow Deku, are you okay? You seem jumpy! Are you here alone?" Uraraka asked, squinting. Izuku absolutely panicked and whipped his head around behind him to see if Katsuki was behind him, and to his surprise he was gone. Vanished. He got a tad worried that he had lost him in the crowd and his heart dropped. So much anxiety was flowing through Izuku.

    "Y-Yes I am!" Izuku said nervously, scratching the back of his neck.

    "Do you wanna hang out with us? We were gonna go down the block to the fashion strip next." Tsu added.

    "Oh-heh no it's okay, really! I'm just- going somewhere- alone-" Izuku said, shaking. Right then, Izuku's phone buzzed.

Kacchan: I'm not far behind you, hiding. Make the extras leave!

Izuku was relieved to see the text from Katsuki.

    "OKAY WELL I GOTTA GO SORRY GUYS I'LL SEE YOU LATER!" Izuku yelled as he ran into the arcade behind them and up the stairs to the second floor to hide. Uraraka and Tsu didn't even see where he went, they just stared forward in shock at Izuku yelling at them. They eventually both let out a small giggle before heading to the fashion strip, Izuku spying on them from one of the windows on the second floor. As soon as he lost sight of the two girls plus scanned for anyone else from UA, he texted Katsuki.

Deku: They're gone, everyone's gone. I'm on the second floor!

Katsuki's heart finally slowed down as he left the unholy shop. He picked up speed going into the arcade and up the stairs as he raced to the green-haired boy to continue their date. As soon as Katsuki was about to unknowingly pass Izuku, the crouched boy grabbed the blonde's arm and tugged him down to his level. Katsuki realized who it was and smiled. The two just laughed at each other for a second.

    "That was close wasn't it?" Izuku laughed out as Katsuki was still panting. Katsuki rubbed the boy's head endearingly in response. "Ready to continue our date?"

Katsuki blushed at the boy's question before standing up and lending him his hand. As he tugged Izuku back up, they went back down to the first floor to try the claw machines.

As 30 minutes went by on the first floor, Izuku won a small stuffy duck keychain which he put in his pocket to stay safe. Katsuki, however, was raging at the machines and calling them rigged pieces of garbage. Izuku laughed every time. Who knew Katsuki would even hate losing to a claw machine. The boys were eventually done with the first floor so they went up the tight staircase to the second floor to play competitive games.

As anyone could guess, after about an hour on this floor, Katsuki won most of these. He got the new highest score in the DrumMania V5 game, as well as scored a spot in the leaderboard of GuitarFreaks V5. Izuku only beat him at Mario Kart and Tekken 6 which Katsuki was still pissed about nonetheless. Right before the boys made their way up to the third floor, Izuku stopped the blonde grabbing his wrist. A Purikura photo booth.
