Let Me Ruin You

Chapter 31

On Tuesday, as I walked to the library to my tutoring class with Shinsou and Bakugou after class, I called Draken. 

I needed to ask him about the party, and gave him a hands up about my hero friends being there. 

I dialed his number and after two rings, he picked up.

-Hello?- Draken said. 

-Hey, what's up?- I answered as I walked to the library. 

-What happened, is everything ok?- he asked me, worried. 

-Yes...? Why?- I answered.

-Oh... I don't know, you never call me... I thought you might be in trouble.- he said, and paused for a second. -So, is everything ok?- 

-Yes, yes. Don't worry!- I said, and laughed a little. -How are you?- 

-Fine, I'm patrolling with Mitsuya and his division.- he said. 

-Great! Are you busy? I need to ask you something, but I can call you later if you...- I began to say, but Draken quickly cut me off. 

-Nono, it's been a calm day. What do you want to ask me?- he said. 

-Oh, so... It's a bit of a long story, but basically I wanted to know when are you guys playing at the bar? Friday or Saturday night?- I asked, as I opened the library door.

I could see Bakugou at our usual table, waiting. We made eye contact and I pointed at my phone. I started to walk towards him.

-Friday, why? That doesn't seem like a long story.- answered me Draken, curious. 

-Well, yes. That's not the long part... The long part of the story involves Hanma inviting some of my classmates to the gig...- I said, sitting down at the table in front of Bakugou.

I covered the mic of my phone and whispered to Bakugou.

-Sorry, one sec!- I quietly said to Bakugou.

He nodded, and I kept talking to Draken in front of him.

-How did Hanma ended up inviting your U.A. classmates to the bar?- Draken asked me. 

-He slept here last weekend, and the next morning we had breakfast with some of my classmates... Again, it's a long story.- I tried to explain to him.

There was a sudden silence.

-Draken? Are you there?- I asked. 

-Did you hook up with Hanma?- Draken asked. He sounded a little angry. 

-What?! No!- I said. -He was just too drunk to drive home, so he slept here. Nothing else.-

Bakugou rolled his eyes and then pointed at his wrist. Basically telling me to hurry up.

-Oh... Sorry, I shouldn't have asked you that. It's none of my business.- Draken said. 

-It's okey, don't worry. But for the record, I am not dating Hanma.- I said to Draken, looking at Bakugou who was staring down at his notes. 

-Alright, that's good...- Draken said, and I swear I could hear him smile. 

-That's good? What do you mean?- I teased him.

Bakugou looked at me again.

-No, no! I didn't mean "that's good"! I'm just glad you are not dating him!- he correct himself, talking very quickly. -Wait, no! I meant that that's good to know...- 

-Why?- I continued to tease him. 

-He's just... I don't know...- Draken said. -I just think you can do better than him.- 

-Really? Like who?- I said. 

-So are your classmates coming to the bar on Friday?- said Draken, changing the subject quickly. 

I chuckled a little. 

I would love to keep teasing him, but Bakugou looks like he wants to kill me right now. I should hurry up.

-Yes, that's why I called you. To give you a heads-up about it.- I said to him. -Don't worry, they would not cause any problems.- 

-That's fine. And if they do, I'm sure we can beat them up.- Draken said, and I laughed. 

-No one is beating up no one!- I said to him, and Bakugou raised an eyebrow at me. -I have to go, Bakugou is getting angry. I'm suppose to be studying.- 

-You showed up late and on your phone!- Bakugou shouted at me. 

-Ok, I'll see you on Friday. Bye!- said Draken to me, and we hung up.

I looked at Bakugou and pointed at an empty chair.

-Shinsou is not even here!- I said to him, putting away my phone. 

-He's not coming today, he's helping Denki with his geometry homework.- he said. 

-He ditched us for Denki again... I swear, if they don't start dating soon, I'm gonna kill both of them!- I said, taking out my books from my bag. 

 

-So who was that? Your boyfriend?- asked me Bakugou, not looking at me. 

-Yes.- I said, with a very serious face.

He looked at me with eyes wide open.

-I'm kidding!- I couldn't contain my laugh. -It was Draken, I was just asking him about the gig!- 

-He didn't seem very happy about that Hanma sleeping here... For what I heard you say, he seemed jealous.- he said. 

-Are you jealous?- I teased him. 

-Why would I be jealous?!- he said. 

-I'm just joking! Jeez, what's up your ass today?- I said, and he rolled his eyes. 

-So when is the party?- he asked me. 

-Friday. I'll let Mina know later, she's been asking me non-stop.- I told him. -You are coming, right?- 

-From what I heard, someone has to make sure your Toman friends don't beat this guys up.- he said. 

-Again, no one is beating no one!-
