-Bakugo's pov-

November 30th, Thursday - 3:01 pm

Bakugo and the others walked through the mall, leaving Spencer’s behind after finding nothing useful.

He was already annoyed and ready to call this whole thing off.

“Alright,” Bakugo muttered, shoving his hands into his pockets. “Where to next?”

Denki looked around, tapping his chin dramatically. “We could—”

“Somewhere normal,” Bakugo cut in, glaring.

Sero chuckled, nudging Kirishima. “How about an actual department store? Maybe something basic but nice?”

Kirishima hummed in thought before gesturing ahead. “JCPenney?”

They all stopped in front of the entrance, the store stretching out before them with racks of clothes, accessories, and home goods.

“Finally,” Bakugo muttered, already stepping inside. “Somewhere that doesn’t look like a damn Halloween store.”

The group stepped into JCPenney, the atmosphere immediately shifting from the chaotic energy of Spencer’s to something more… tolerable.

The store was well-lit, organized, and—most importantly—devoid of anything Denki could suggest that would get him punched.

“Alright,” Kirishima said, scanning the store. “We’re looking for something Mitsuki would like, right?”

Bakugo rolled his eyes. “No shit.”

Denki, already distracted, was eyeing a rack of fuzzy slippers. “What about these?”

He held up a pair of bright pink, fur-covered house shoes that were shaped like llamas. “Stylish and comfortable. Total mom vibes.”

Bakugo just stared at him. “Do you want me to kill you?”

Denki snickered and put them back.

Sero sighed. “We should probably stick to something practical. Maybe jewelry? Clothes?”

Kirishima nodded. “Yeah, something classy. Something that says ‘Hey, I actually put effort into this gift’ and not ‘I grabbed the first thing I saw.’”

Bakugo grunted in agreement and started walking towards the women’s clothing section, the others following behind.

“We should find something soon,” he muttered. “I’m not spending all day here.”

As they browsed through the women’s clothing section, Kirishima’s eyes lit up when he spotted something.
