"Hey babe," Bakugou greeted as he walked into Aeri's dorm room after his shower. Aeri was lying on her stomach on her bed, scrolling through her phone, hair still slightly damp from her own shower an hour ago. Bakugou walked over and placed a sharp slap on her ass, laughing when she yelped out in surprise.

Aeri huffed and moved her phone to the side, sitting up. "How was your shower?"

"It was like every other damn shower," Bakugou said, joining her on the bed. "How was your shower?" He moved closer, pressing a kiss to her lips. He leaned back. "Mango?"

"Correct, I bought a new one and thought I'd try it," Aeri pointed to the new stick of lip balm on the desk. "My shower was amazing, I washed my hair, did a full body exfoliation scrub and shaved my legs, see?" She draped her bare leg across his lap and he immediately moved a hand to stroke up her thigh.

He nodded and gripped her thigh, hoisting her into his lap and burying his face in her neck. "Smell good too."

"So do you," Aeri smiled, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and leaning down to press kisses to the side of his neck.

"Jeanist called me out for patrol tomorrow after school," Bakugou smirked, already feeling the excitement of getting to do actual hero work. He slipped his hands up under the back of her strappy pyjama top. "Fuckin' took him long enough."

"Are you excited? Gonna get your chance to show off." Aeri nipped at his collarbone, continuing her trail of kisses.

"Course I am, gonna show everyone that I'm the damn best," Bakugou said loudly.

"Damn right, you are," Aeri encouraged him, deciding to test the waters by sucking a small mark in a place it wouldn't be spotted by their classmates. Bakugou inhaled sharply and leaned his back against the wall, his pulse thundering through his body. She pulled back and smiled at the red mark on his collarbone that was already starting to bruise.

"What was that for?" Bakugou asked, breathless and red in the face. Aeri just shrugged, leaning down to press a light kiss to the mark she made. Bakugou slid his hands to either side of her ribcage, his thumbs ghosting the underside of her bare breasts. "You're fucking killin' me."

"What, big bad Bakugou can't handle a little hickey?" Aeri teased with a lopsided smile, taking hold of his elbows and pushing his hands up to where she knew he wanted to touch but was too scared to ask. Bakugou's eyes widened and he couldn't even bring himself to tease her back, not when he was quite literally groping her.

"Are you sure?" He managed to say, eyes drifting from where his hands lay to her golden eyes peering down at him with so much love. He hoped to god she couldn't feel how hard his heart was beating.

Aeri nodded. "I've told you before, haven't I? You can look at me and touch me because I trust you." Bakugou smiled softly but moved his hands away, instead sliding them around her waist and pulling her in for a hug.

"I guess I trust you too..." he spoke into her shoulder.

"You guess?"

"Shut up."

🗡️🗡️🗡️

"I'm bored!" Kaminari whined, sprawling himself over Kirishima and Jungwon who were sitting on the sofa in the common room.

"Ditto," Jungwon sighed, shifting slightly so Kaminari's elbow wasn't digging into her thigh.

Mina looked up from where she was sitting on the floor with Aeri, the golden-eyed girl painting Mina's nails her favourite shade of blue. "Why don't we play a game?" She smiled cheekily, obviously having some ideas.

"What sort of game?" Kirishima asked suspiciously.

"We each have a challenge for the rest of the day, if you fail, you have to do a dare of the group's choosing," Mina explained, blowing on her nails to make them dry faster.

"That's so fuckin' stupid." Bakugou snarled, shoving Sero, who leant over him to get his glass of water, away from him.

"I'm in," Aeri and Jungwon said at the same time.

"Me too, seems fun." Kaminari smiled. Kirishima, Sero and Jirou agreed too and they all looked over to Bakugou to see if he'd change his mind now that everyone else was playing.

"Stop fuckin' looking at me damn it!"

"Will you play?" Kirishima asked, his sharp teeth flashing when his lips pulled back into a smile. Bakugou looked reluctant to agree and he made eye contact with Aeri who was giving him a pleading look.

"Fine...but I'm not doing anything stupid."

"Who's assigning the challenges?" Jungwon asked, rubbing his hands together eagerly.

"We can put names into a hat and draw them out so everyone gets to choose someone's challenge?" Jirou suggested and everyone nodded. Sero rushed to get a bowl, paper and a pen whilst the rest of them began to think of the challenges they wanted their peers to do for the day.

Sero rushed back and Mina tore the paper into seven strips, jotting out each of their names onto the pieces before folding them up and depositing them into the bowl, shaking it up for good measure.

"Okay, I'm picking first! I thought of the game!" Mina shimmied her shoulders excitedly, sticking her hand in and digging around with her eyes closed before pulling out a piece of paper. She unfolded it and presented it to the group, chuckling sinisterly. "I got Aeri~" She sing-songed.

"Me next!" Kaminari shouted, scrambling off the two boys he was using as a bed and toward the bowl, picking up the strip of paper from the top. "Ooo, Bakugou, I got you!"

"Fuck you." Bakugou groaned. Kaminari was probably the worst of the bunch to have to give him a challenge.

After that, Aeri picked out Kaminari's name, Jungwon picked out Jirou's, Bakugou picked out Jungwon's, Jirou picked out Kirishima's, Sero picked out Mina's and Kirishima picked out Sero's.

"Okay, Aeri... your challenge is that you're not allowed to speak Japanese for the rest of the day. You're not allowed to write it either."

"Okay, easy," Aeri clapped her hands together, switching languages right away. "Jungwon will you tell Kaminari that he has to do the Irish jig every time someone says his name for me please?" Aeri smiled. Jungwon laughed and then turned to his blonde friend, relaying Aeri's message. Kaminari groaned but agreed and the group immediately started chanting his name which made him flush red and get up to start his challenge.

Aeri and Mina fell against each other in a pile of giggles at the sight. Kaminari cleared his throat and turned to Bakugou. "Kacchan isn't allowed within a two-foot radius of Aeri." He announced proudly.

"Hah? Do you want to die?" Bakugou stood, palms crackling.

"Will it really be that hard for you? There's only 5 hours until curfew." Kaminari raised a teasing eyebrow. Bakugou grumbled but backed down. He was competitive by nature and he wouldn't lose his challenge, even if it meant not being able to touch or talk to Aeri.

"Jungwon, you're not allowed to teleport or use your feet to travel. Find some other damn way to do it." Bakugou smirked and Jungwon huffed but nodded.

"Jirou's not allowed to do anything regarding music. No talking about it, no listening to it and no making it."

"Kirishima has to make everyone bow and call him the princess of 1A if they try to talk to him," Jirou smiled and Kirishima whined.

"Sero has to act like Spiderman and snatch at least 5 objects away from people using his tape."

"Mina is only allowed to communicate by playing charades. No speaking or writing."

"That's everyone isn't it?" Jungwon asked and everyone nodded. "Let's get playing then!"
