TW: Cursing
"Great practice, guys," I said as I helped Kyoka wind up her jack cable.
She shrugged as she set her guitar into her case. "I guess, but I butchered that solo." I handed her the cable. "Thanks."
"No problem. And, hey, don't worry about the solo we've got, what, a month, 'til our next show." I brushed off.
Ashido looked at Kiri from her seat. "Eiji, you didn't tell me you guys had a show in a month! I'm so going!"
Ashido and Kiri had just started dating and Kiri asked if she could come watch our practices and we all agreed, well most of us did. Bakugo said more of "Tch, whatever, leave me the fuck alone." I've noticed he has been acting a little moody lately, and I can't help but wonder if somethings wrong.
Like most days I stayed behind and helped Bakugo pack up his drums. We worked together quietly and we were almost done before he spoke. "Hey, Y/N?"
I looked up at him as I held the kick pedal in my hand. "Yeah?"
"My parents are having this gala thing and my mom is forcing me to go. I was wondering if you would go with me. I asked Shitty, Hair but since he met that new chick he's been busy all the fucking time." He had an annoyed look on his face as he avoided making eye contact with me.
I smiled at him. "Sure, I'd love to go. I just need to know when and the dress code."
His eyes met mine before he spoke. "Yeah, it's this Friday at 7:00. Black tie. I'll pick you up from your place."
"Ok, I'll see you then." I helped him finish loading up his car before we both left for our houses.

Earlier in the week I had gone shopping for a dress for the gala and picked out this beautiful long, deep red dress that happened to fit me perfectly.
I quickly threw on the dress and hurried over to my bathroom. I put on my makeup and did my hair. Once I was done I heard a knock on my apartment door. I answered it quickly.
"Just in time. I just finished getting ready." I smiled at the blond that was staring at me. "You good, Bakugo?"
He seemed to come back to reality. "Uh, yeah... You look... wow..." He mumbled, and I barely heard him.
I locked my apartment door. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that."
He rolled his eyes gaining his usual attitude. "I said that you don't look as bad as you normally do."
"Thank you? I think that was a complement." I looked at his outfit and noticed he wore a button-up of the same shade as my dress. "Oh, hey, we're matching! Also, you look great. I don't think I've ever seen you dressed up like this. It's nice."
He scoffed, "Yeah, whatever. Just get in the car."
I climbed in on the passengers side of his car. "Sweet ride."
"It's not like you haven't seen it before."
I looked at him as he drove. "Yeah, but I've never been in it."
He didn't say anything after that. I didn't say anything either as we drove. At some point I saw a little couples spa place.
"Kiri's pretty lucky." I said, unthinking.
He replied quickly, "How?"
I sighed and turned my head to face him. "It seems like he's got a pretty good relationship with Ashido. It must be pretty nice to be in a relationship... What about you, Bakugo? Have you met anyone?"
