It was a starutday. The sun began its descent, casting a warm orange glow over the bustling city as you, Katsuki, and Izuku stepped onto the crowded metro platform. It had been a long day of training, and you were all eager to head home and relax. And since you all lived in the same nieborhood, you decided to accompany each other.

As you waited for your train, you leaned against a pillar, glancing at the digital display indicating the arrival time. Bakugo stood next to you, his arms crossed and a faint scowl on his face, while Midoriya fidgeted with his backpack, his trademark nervous energy present.

Bakugou and Midoriya weren't exactly the best of friends, and the tension was clearly strating to thicken. What would mina do in this situation?

You turned to the duo, a playful glint in your eyes. "Hey, guys, how about we play a game to pass the time? It'll make the journey more fun."

Bakugo scoffed. He knew you all too well, and he knew what you were trying to do. His gaze slightly softened at your cheerful expression, and he couldn't refuse the idea. "A game? Don't you get bored of me beating you at everything?"

You slaped his arm. "Do you always have a stick up your ass?" You asked the blond, then smiled mischievously. "How about we take turns telling funny stories or sharing embarrassing moments? The goal is to make each other laugh."

Midoriya's eyes lit up, his usual excitement bubbling to the surface. "I like that idea! It'll lighten the mood after a tough day."

Bakugo grumbled but couldn't hide a hint of a smile. "Fine, I'm in. But don't expect me to laugh at your shitty stories."

With the game agreed upon, the three of you boarded the train as it arrived, finding an empty section to yourselves. As the doors closed and the train started moving, you kicked off the storytelling session.

"Alright, I'll start. So, a week ago I thought i saw Denki from behind. Without thinking, I snuck up behind him and gave him a playful pinch on the ass. Turns out, it wasn't my friend, but a complete stranger! I was so embarrassed I had to explain everything to him so he wouldn't press charges!"

Midoriya burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. "That's hilarious! I can just imagine the look of shock on the stranger's face!"

Bakugo couldn't help but smirk, finding it hard to resist the contagious laughter. "Alright, fine. Here's mine. Back in middle school, I was so determined to impress my teacher that I tried to show off my quirk by creating an explosion. But instead of a controlled blast, I accidentally blew up my desk! The whole classroom was in chaos."

You and Midoriya erupted in laughter, unable to contain your amusement at the image of a young Bakugo, "Shit! I actually remember that you turned supper red!"

"I DID NOT, IDIOT!"

Midoriya wiped away tears of laughter before sharing his own tale. "Okay, so in elementary school, I had this really big crush on this girl. One day, I decided to impress her by showing off the fact that i could ride a bike, but I ended up crashing into a tree! It was so embarrassing, but at least she had a good laugh."

Bakugo and you joined Midoriya in laughter, your stories weaving a tapestry of shared amusement.

As the train continued on its path, the three of you took turns, sharing stories that ranged from hilarious mishaps to endearing moments of clumsiness. The echoes of your laughter filled the metro car, drawing curious glances from other passengers.

Time seemed to fly by as you immersed yourselves in the joy of the game. You couldn't deny that the stories created a bond, deepening your friendship in the process.

As the train approached your stop, then you exchanged satisfied smiles. It had been a simple but memorable journey. "See you next week, izuku!" You said as he separated paths, and you and bakugou continued walking.

You couldn't help but remember last night holding him close and grinding-- It's a good thing you didn't remember the rest. You'd probably bury yourself from embarrassment

"The hell are you dreaming about?" He scoffed, looking down at you.

You glanced up, surprised his relaxed expression. "Oh, I was just remembering last night."

Bakugou tensed up and internally panicked. "And uh, what exactly do you remember?"

You pulled the best thinking face you could curiosity piqued, and you had to know what the blonde was hiding. "Absolutely everything! Why do you ask?"

Bakugou sighed, his fiery demeanour momentarily softened. "No, you don't. You were wasted."

Your eyes widened in surprise. "DID WE?" You sighed and fidgeted with your finger for a second before continuing, "I was saving it for the right time."

"What're you rambling about?"

"Did we.. uh, sleep together?" You asked, and bakugou's eyes widened, and smirk spread across his face.

"You had your pretty hands all over me, but don't worry, i wouldn't ruin you while you're drunk." He wishpered in your ear, and you froze further.

"I what? Was I trying to--"

Bakugou nodded, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. "I can't blame you now, can i?" He was teasing you at this point. But the opposite was true that night he couldn't keep his hands to himself, and he even told you he loved you, but did it count when you can't remember?

You studied his profile, and you were embarrassed and needed to change the topic as fast as possible. "Remember this shitty park?" You ask as you glanced at the playground to your right.

Bakugou chuckled bitterly. "Yeah, when we used to play here, I was such a short-tempered brat. Always trying to prove myself. Always angry."

You smiled softly, reminiscing about those memories. "You still are! But you were passionate, even as a kid. Determined to be the best, just like you are now."

Bakugou's gaze met yours, a mixture of emotions flickering in his eyes. "You were there too, always by my side. You didn't take any of my crap. Kept me in check."

You laughed, remembering the childhood squabbles. "We were quite the pair. I remember that time we got into trouble for setting off firecrackers in the park."

Bakugou grinned, a rare sight. "Oh yeah, we had everyone running for cover. We were two fearless brats."

Your expression turned wistful. "Sometimes I miss those carefree days. Before we became students at UA, before the weight of our dreams bore down on us."

Bakugou's voice softened. "Yeah, life was simpler back then. But i still wouldn't change anything. Well, except..." he cut himself off.

Silence settled between you, punctuated only by the rustling leaves and distant sounds of children in the background. "Expect that fight we had. I never had the chance to apologise for."

Finally, you spoke, breaking the stillness. "It's fine, I'm glad we've been through all those ups and downs. We've grown together and faced challenges together. But hey, we're still close, and we still care for each other!"

Bakugou's eyes softened, a flicker of appreciation shining through. The weight had finally been lifted from off his shoulders, knowing he had your forgiveness. "Yeah, I guess you're not so bad after all."

You playfully nudged him. "And you're not so bad yourself, Explosion boy."

As the sun began to set, casting an orange glow over your surroundings, you and Bakugou walked in comfortable silence, sharing a moment of understanding and gratitude for the bond you had forged through the years.

In that moment, both of you realized that your shared childhood, with all its triumphs and tribulations, had laid the foundation for a friendship that would withstand the test of time. And as you watched the sky turn from golden to pink, you two knew your journey together was far from over.
