Todoroki's POV

"Alrighty, we can all have 20 tokens each!" Kirishima hands us both a little cup of coins, and heads straight to the punching bag. "Hey guys what if we do this! I promise I won't use my quirk! Let's just see who can hit the hardest." He puts two coins in as the bag drops. "Alright.... Lets do this." He takes a step back also pulling his arm back with him. "Andddd now!" He says before swinging his arm hitting it smack dead in the middle. Wow, he actually might have just got the new record. "You cheated." Bakugou growls coming closer to him. "I swear I didn't!" He tries to defend himself, but looks to me for help. "I was watching the entire time Bakugou he's just really strong." I say as the little angry boy just rolls his eyes. I love it when he pouts like this. I don't know why, but seeing him soft is just to cute. "Well to bad I guess I'll just have to show you how weak you really are." He puts a couple coins in as the bag falls down. "Watch and learn losers." He laughs under his breath as we swings toward it. His punch lands hard in the middld of it, but unfortunately it didn't pass the new highscore. "What the hell I must have punched it so hard it broke." He mutters walking away from it. I know it's my turn next, but there's no way ain't could be stronger then either one of them. I mean I usually don't even use physical strength, I'm mostly distance. Putting a couple coins in I watch as the bag drops. All you have to do is punch it, and then we can move on. I step back a little, and bring my fist around pretty hard. Probably not my best, but it's just a game anyway. "See I told you the stupid game is broke now cause he's definitely stronger then I am." Bakugou mutters moving on to the next game. "Look at this! I'm awesome at shooting games." Bakugou picks up a toy gun and puts four coins in. "It's two players so whoever wins can play again with the other." He says looking at the both of us. "Here... Uh you can go first.." Kirishima offers stepping back. I grab the gun, and wait for the zombies to appear on the screen. "Alright you got to shoot their heads okay or they won't die.." He says already kill three of them. I start to follow his lead as dialog starts to happen. Basically it's like every other zombie game where it was a disease, and now it's spread everywhere. After playing a bit I died so of course that means I lost. "Alright Kiri go up there and show him up!" I tease as he takes my gun. He puts in four tokens in this time, and the gane begins again. "Damn it Bakugou how do you know where they're going to pop up!" Kirishima pouts as he dies within a minute. Bakugou starts to laugh mockingly as I shoot him a death stare. "Its only becauss he goes on instinct I swear." I laugh as the air hockey catches my eye. "You said something about air hockey right?" Bakugou nudges me towards it. "Yeah, actually I'm the best." I smile already putting coins in it. "Shitty hair you go first." He says as Kirishima steps up. "I think it goes up to 7.." I say hitting the puck. Surprising enough Kirishima isn't actually too bad. The only thing is he doesn't know the trick shots like I do. I easily pocket the puck in the goal after a few minutes of hitting it back and forth until at last the game is over. "I told, I'm the best." I smile playfully. Bakugou makes a discomfort noise as he pushes Kirishima out of the way. "Lets see you try to beat me.." He growls hitting the puck. We go back and forth trying to make the trick shots. Damn, okay so he might be good after all. "Game point! Whoever gets this wins!" Kirishima says as a pretends to reff. "Who will be our next air hockey king? We have the reining champion, the one and only, the legend himself.... Icy Hot!" He says pointing to me. "Then over on the left we have the meanest, roughest, angriest blonde in the worlddd.... Explosion boy!" He bursts into laughter as Bakugou gives him a death glare. I can't help bjt to laugh myself as Kirishima nearly falls to the ground. "HA bitch! I won now I reign as champion!" He sneaks a wink to me as I try to hold down a blush. Why does he have to do these things in public? "Alright where to next?" Bakugou yawns as we walk out of the arcade. "Hmm what if we walked around the city? Maybe just relaxed..." Kirishima offered nervously. He seems like he feels awkward which I guess would make sense. "That sounds bo-" "like a great idea!" I shoot Bakugou a sharp look. All we have to do is keep him occupied till tonight. We start to walk as a buzz in my pocket nearly makes me jump. "I forgot that was on..." I mutter pulling out my phone. "Change of plans todo we need you to keep him all night..." Sero texts. I try to keep my expression normal, but are you serious? How ling does it take to set up a surprise? "Fine." I reply before shoving my phone back into my pocket. We walk around a few blocks before finally we made it to an empty street. "Maybe we should just head back to the dorms." Bakugou sighs as we all turn around. Shit, how am I suppose to tell him that Kiri has to stay the night? "Hey Kiri stay the night with us." I say randomly hoping that it wasn't to rushed. Both of the other boys stop with confusion written allxover their face. "Um why the fuck?" Bakugou starts as Kirishima nods his head in agreement. "I'm with Bakugou on this one like I didn't even think you really liked me?" He says nervously scratching his head. "Well I want  to get to know you more, and if you don't stay over to hangout then how am I suppose to do that?" I say as he shows a little grin. "I guess you're right, let me text Denki and tell him. I hope he doesn't get mad, he shouldn't, but with him Its hard to tell...." He rambles on while texting. I wish I could tell him that he wouldnt get mad because he's the one that told us, but then that would just ruin the surprise. "It's fine shitty hair just stay over." Bakugou mutters holding the door open to the school. We go to the dorm, and now we're just chilling on the beds. "I don't want to intrude or anything so if you guys want me to leave it's fine...." Kiri says nervously looking at the two of us. I mean would I like to be alone with Bakugou? Of course, but I could never be that selfish to Denki and not help. Plus, for once he's actually being a good boyfriend that Kirishima deserves. "So why are you all buddy buddy with the girls now?" Bakugou glares at him from across the room. His face starts to blush, but he holds it down. "I-I um uh, you see..." He tries to find the right words to say. Now both me and Bakugou are interested waiting for his answer. "I had a girls night the other night, and let them do my hair.... And m-makeup...." His face is now a bright pink as he looks to the ground. I guess he is embarrassed because he's all about manliness? I mean he shouldn't be embarrassed by that if he liked it because that's all that matters. "And then we started talking... About boys.. It was weird, but now they consider me one of the girls. We even have our own group chat!" He smiles a little towards the end. Honestly, I think that's really good for him. At least he kniws he will have lots of friends to depend on in the future. "You better not have said anything about me and Todo- I mean Icy Hot.." He growls clinching his fist. "Oh no no I only talked about me and Denki! The girls have no clue about you guys! At least they never mentioned it. However.... They did talk about you!" He points to me with a little sly smirk on his face. I rise an eyebrow with interest before saying "continue?" His smirk forms a big toothy grin as he starts. "Well the girls have a scale for boys. I don't know who the lowest of the low is, my guess is Mineta of course, but I do know who the top issss...." He pauses glancing at Bakugou to make sure it was okay. "It's you Todo! They all in agreement think you are the most good looking in the class! Of course they don't know about your current relationship, but it's true that they really like you." I start to smile more to myself at his words. Huh, I'm actually liked? I figured the would like Midoriya more because of his softness, and how talkative he is. Maybe even Kirishima because how strong he is, but also has a soft chivalrous spot. "No shit, you think I would date someone ugly? Only the best..." His hand quickly brushes over mine as I shoot him a glare. I didn't want to talk about any relationship stuff to make Kiri awkward considering he is Bakugou's ex. "You guys are so good together I wish you would come out. Which I understand why you wouldn't. It's a pretty big risk with parents and all that stuff." His puts his hand on his belly as it starts to growl. "You guys wanna go grab something to eat? I didn't realize how late it was when we got back to the school." "Yeah I'm pretty hungry myself..." I admit while getting up. "Come on Bakugou you need to eat toi before you get grumpy." I say as he sighs. "I don't get grumpy." He mutters as we gead to the cafeteria. I know I owe him big time for all of this, it must be so awkward for him. Especially how the two of us get along so well. Which towards the beginning I wasn't to fond of Kirishima, but now I realize how cool he actually is. We grab our food quickly, and sit at a little table near the exit. "I'm tired.. Classes kicked my ass today." Bakugou yawns rubbing his eyes. "I didn't think I would live to see anyone kick your ass." Kirishima laughs as I chuckle. Bakugou's body is probably just wore out from the other night. "Alright let's head back.." He says stretching before he gets up. We all three throw our trash away before going back to the dorm. "Hey Kiri you can sleep on ky bed, and I can share with Bakugou." I offer with a slight smile. He smiles back, and nods. "Sounds good to me!" He throws a thumbs up. It is now 8:45, and Bakugou is already almost fast asleep. "Dang he really must be wore out." Kiri says looking at him. I pat Bakugou's back softly as he begins to snore. "Hey... Can we talk?" He says patting the bed in front of him. A little nervous I get up, but I sit where he motioned. "I know.... I know about what happened with you and Denki.." He begins to look at the ground not keeping any eye contact me. My throat feels like it's swelled up, and my heart is about to burst out of my chest. How in the hell did he find out? "It's okay I'm not mad at you.. Denki told me the whole thing. We talked it over, and he apologized to me for doing that to you. I just want to let you know you don't have to be nice to me because you feel bad. I know we hardly ever talk so you don't have to start if you don't want to.." His tone changed more serious, and now his eyes are directed to me. "Honestly I do find you pretty chill to hang with, and I'm not doing this out of pity. I would never humiliate you like that. Do I feel bad, yes, but that was because I didn't think you knew." I start. I was hoping this day would have never came, but here we are. "Well thank you for not pitying me... It's just I know he apologized to me But he didn't even apologize to you or to Bakugou. Plus, he's been sneaking around with Sero here lately, and I don't knkw how to feel about it." He sighs leaning himself back against the wall. I figured he would be a little suspicious about what's going on, but I thought he would trust Sero more then to think they were cheating. Then again it's probably not Sero that he is worried about. "I think that you're just scared something might happen again, but I have faith in Sero." I smile giving his arm a little pat. "We got school in the morning though so we should probably get to bed." I yawn standing up to go to Bakugou's bed. "Yeah I guess you're right." He says before getting under the blankets. I crawl up beside Bakugou throwing my arm over him to hold him to my chest. "Goodnight baby I love you..." I whisper before burying my face in his soft blonde spikes.
