Awkward Family Dinner

My bad, y'all. I spent the past two and a half weeks with my long-distance boyfriend. I did not bring my computer or even think about writing then. I didn't expect to be gone that long, or I would have warned y'all. Usually, I only see him on the weekends. I also did not see him all of October, so I was excited to spend so much time with him in his state.

Summary:

Something is bothering Bakugou, Kaminari can tell. It isn't hard to decipher Bakugou's many irritated facial expressions once you get close enough to him. Bakugou's scowl with a slight pout translates roughly to, "I have something to say, but I don't know how."

As Kaminari walks past, he bumps Bakugou's hip with his own, placing their dirty ice cream bowls in the sink. "What's up."

Bakugou rolls his eyes at the concern in his boyfriend's voice. He drums his fingers on the table, creating a beat that Kaminari bops his head to. "Nothing is up."

"Bullshit," Kaminari says. He slides the chair beside Bakugou out. Bakugou curls his lip, disgusted when Kaminari kicks his socked feet onto the table's surface. "I know that face." Kaminari wiggles his pointer finger in Bakugou's personal space. "That face means you want to talk, but you need encouragement. So, here you go. Here is your encouragement. Tell me."

"Alright, fine," Bakugou concedes. "I told my parents about us last night." He keeps his voice low. He doesn't see anyone in the kitchen or the connected common room, but anyone could be lurking anywhere when it comes to his class. He learned that the hard way.

Kaminari gasps. "I thought you didn't want to tell them so soon."

"I didn't. I left my phone in the kitchen while I went to the bathroom. Mom saw the picture of us that you picked for my lock screen and figured it out on her own. She asked me about you, and I wasn't going to lie."

"How did they take it?"

"Neither of them was surprised to hear I'm not straight. Dad admitted he's thought I was gay since middle school. It surprised him to find out I still like girls."

"What's the problem then?"

"They want to meet you," Bakugou grumbles.

Kaminari claps happily. "That's great!"

"It's not great."

"Why not? Do you not want your parents to meet me?"

"They've met you before, dumbass. Just never as my boyfriend."

"Even better. You already know your parents like me as a person. They won't have an issue with us dating."

"No, but they're going to be annoying."

Kaminari giggles. "Oh, Bakugou. Everyone's parents are annoying."

Bakugou shakes his head. "Not like mine."

"Do you really not want me to meet your parents as your boyfriend?" Kaminari's shoulders slump. They both agreed to keep their relationship on the down-low. They're not hiding it per se, but they aren't announcing it either. They have nosy classmates who like to be involved in every aspect of their friends' lives.
