Katsuki <3: Hang out with me today.

Aeri blinked at the unexpected text. It was 8 AM and she'd woken up less than 15 minutes ago, still in her pyjamas with messy hair and an unwashed face.

When and where? |sent

She shot out of bed immediately, running to her bathroom to wash her face, phone in hand as she waited for his reply. She hoped he wouldn't say something ridiculous like 8:30 AM—it would take her about half an hour to even pick an outfit.

Katsuki <3: 10 AM. Shibuya. I'll meet you by the train station.

She could work with 10 AM and funnily enough, Shibuya was the only place she knew how to get to by herself so she wouldn't have to bother her dad about driving her. She hurriedly washed away the sleep from her eyes, brushed her teeth and cleaned her healing stitches before switching to her closet.

Aeri picked out a short-sleeved vintage beige zip-up crop top and a pair of baggy 501 Levi's jeans, figuring Bakugou would appreciate her not dressing so fancy for once. She couldn't resist finishing off with a Gucci belt and a pair of white Steve Madden heels.

Her dad walked in just as she exited her closet, smiling tiredly with a spatula in his hand. "Why are you dressed so early?" He asked.

"Going to Shibuya," Aeri replied, sitting down on her vanity stool.

"With?" Aizawa quirked an eyebrow suspiciously.

"Bakugou."

"Hmm... okay. Breakfast is ready." As much as Aizawa didn't want to admit it, he trusted Bakugou with his daughter, no matter how angry and volatile he was.

🗡️🗡️🗡️

Aeri smiled when she saw Bakugou waiting for her a few feet away, scrolling through his phone aimlessly. Aeri snuck up beside him and ran her hand over his muscled shoulder. His head whipped up so fast that he almost dropped his phone but his angry expression turned soft when he saw Aeri grinning at him.

"You're late," He said, pocketing his phone and reaching down to grab her hand.

"Am not, I'm three minutes early!" Aeri argued, interlocking their fingers with her bag hanging off her other arm. Bakugou rolled his eyes and began to pull her down one of the packed streets, Aeri followed along without protesting. "Where are we going?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Taking you to the movies," He replied shortly. "You said you'd never been to one before."

Aeri gasped excitedly. "Really?" She tightened her grip on his hand.

Bakugou nodded, peering at her from the corner of his eye. "I've never seen you wearing jeans before." He lifted their linked hands and used them to spin her around so he could get the full view of her outfit. He'd never expected jeans and heels to look so good together.

"I only own two pairs of jeans, wore them today 'cause I didn't wanna dress too fancy." She told him, enjoying the attention he was giving her.

"You look good in jeans." He admitted quietly, dropping her hand and pulling her to the other side of him as a car drove by, sliding an arm around her waist and resting his palm on her hip.

"I will buy all the jeans in the world and wear them every day just for you," Aeri said seriously. Bakugou rolled his eyes.

"Too far." He replied. He made a left turn and the movie theatre came into view. He led Aeri inside but scowled when he saw a familiar mop of bright yellow hair.
