AS we all walk into the arcade, i become slightly overwhelmed by the sheer noise and bright lights that shine throughout the room. i feel my body circling in awe of how many things are going on all at once.
the cheering of people winning prizes on one side of the room, the music that drapes over the room like a blanket, and the neon lights that flash from all the different games that crowd every square inch.
my eyes scan in every game that it can possibly intake until they land on the prize counter.
i feel my eyes go wide at the plush form of my ultimate favorite animal as a prize on the wall.
the cutest little otter plushy hangs at the top of the wall.
"uh miya? you okay in there?" a pink hand waves in front of my face and i blink a few times as i come back to reality.
"oh yeah i'm all good! where do you guys want to start?"
"i thought it might be best to split up into little groups and see who can win the most prizes! whoever wins the most gets to pick a punishment for the losing team. there will have to be one team of three though." everyone lights up at ashido's suggestion, as we all agree that would be a fun idea besides the stoic bakugou.
"there's no way kaminari and i are gonna lose, so who want's to join our team!"
"i can go wi-" before i can finish my sentence, i feel a hard tug on my bicep as heat radiates from the hand that has it's hold on me. the hold is strong but surprisingly gentle.
"i call the fast freak." bakugou's gruff comes out so matter of factly. i look up at him, his features glowing neon colors but are so serious. i look over at the rest of the group with an apologetic expression on my face, eiji's expression catching my attention.
his eyebrows twitch downwards then go back to normal as jirou and ashido begin to argue over who gets eiji, neither one of them wanting to be on the other team apparently.
i'm confused though. why would bakugou want me on his team?
"i only chose you to be on my team because you ate the same ramen i did earlier. nothing else got it?" he bends over so that he's at eye level with me and suddenly my nostrils are filled with the scent of vanilla and spices. i nod towards him and give him a determined smile.
"i'm gonna do my best." i give him the thumbs up eijiro normally gives towards me and he merely scoffs and turns back to the rest of the group, i do the same.
it looks like jirou ended up being with the two boys and ashido is smiling happily next to eiji. i watch as ashido reaches into the back pocket of her dark blue jeans and pulls out her phone, messing with it for a second before showing us an hour timer.
"okay everyone, i have an hour timer on here. so let's meet back in this spot in one hour to count the prizes!" everyone nods in agreement as she gives us a countdown from three. before i knew it, i'm being dragged deeper into the arcade in the opposite direction as the other teams.
