miracle romance (bakugou x reader love story)

ramen

With how nice the day was going, running into any of your classmates was not on your mind, yet here stands Kirishima, aka Bakugou's best friend who looks like he isn't aware you and he would be out today. Now, you're looking at Bakugou for what he thinks of saying to him.

"What."

He might be too unbothered.

Kirishima pangs with a confused face, "I thought...," his eyes dance over to you and you shift on your feet. This isn't what it looks like, you want to say. "Uh, well, we just got here if you want to join us."

Your gaze slowly travels up to Bakugou, who doesn't look happy. Did you take him away from plans?

His red-hot glare is on you in a heartbeat, "Might as well since your dumbass didn't think to eat."

"It's okay, I'm not that hungry," you try to wave the offer off, not wanting to feel any more of a burden than what's creeping on but he's ignoring you after your stomach betrays you with an embarrassing growl.

"Let's go," he barks. You have no choice but to follow, guiltily staring at his closed-off posture, tensed shoulders slouched in, hands in his pockets.

It's not very full, and the modern ramen shop looks cute to you. Sleek, black tables, cool art hanging on the dark mahogany walls.

You follow Kirishima to a large booth along the windowed wall of the restaurant, only now realizing he must've come here with the others but you're surprised to see the only other person from your class is Sero.

The other three sitting together on one side are faces you only ever see in passing from the classroom next door. A silver-haired guy sitting at the end beside Kendou and next to her is Tokage. You didn't even know they were friends like that to be outside of school together.

There's only space for six, one last seat left after Kirishima.

"Bakugou," the boy greets, leaning over to catch you behind Bakugou's arm and you move forward slightly after noticing you'd been inadvertently hiding behind him, "and hey, I don't think we've met before. I'm Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu."

His last name is also his first name? Why is that kind of funny?

You try to mimic his friendly tone, "I'm L/N," and turn to others with a stiff feeling smile. I probably look stupid.

But Tokage leans forward with a smile, "I know. Scared you at the test of courage." Fuck, that's embarrassing. At least she remembers me.

Kendou notices your plastic bag, "You out shopping?"

You nod, "Mhm."

"And you...?" Sero's finger is questioning Bakugou.

"WE'RE HERE TO EAT!"

If Sero's raised brow means he's curious as to why you're there too, he doesn't question it further, and you're relieved. At the very least, Kaminari isn't here. You know he'd have a few jokes to say about you and Bakugou being alone together. You don't want to be subject to that sort of blatant teasing in front of the serious blond.

"You two go ahead and sit," Kirishima looks around the space, "I'll pull up a chair-"

"We'll be over there," Bakugou's grumpiness is still extending as he begins walking off, calling for you, "Nails!"

You stumble a bit mentally, not sure where he's going away from the group but you're following him anyway. When he sits down at a table for two on the other side of the restaurant, you slide in and whisper, "Were you supposed to be with them today?"
