Kiribaku

Chapter 6 (What about the cafe?)

Bakugou POV

"Hey...man. I was wondering if you wanted to go to the city festival with some of our classmates and me." He practically mumbled.

I was taken aback. He was inviting me to hang out with him and his friends. Outside of school.

Did they even know if Shitty Hair was inviting me to tag along. Probably not, he's just a really nice dude. Whoever else he was going with probably didn't even want me to go with since it was most likely people from our class. I shook out of my thoughts and spoke, "I don't like being in big groups or crowds." I lied.

His face seemed to fall for a second before another smile took its place. "Then we can just hang out by ourselves man." He proposed while shifting his eyes away from me to look at the floor instead.

His response took me by surprise. Would he really ditch his friends to hang out with me. No. He was just being his usual nice self. "You don't have to ditch them for me ya know." I protested.

Kirishima POV

He was getting the wrong idea. "No, I know, but if you're not good in crowded places then we could just hang out," I started to panic. He hadn't said yes or no yet. "That is, if you wanted to."

He seemed to just stare at me for a few seconds. It was as if he was studying my expressions, with his eyes scrunched. He turned back to the view of the city before stuffing his hands in his pockets. "Fine. I'll go Shitty Hair." He grunted.

His word played over and over again in my mind. Slowly a smile forced itself onto my face. "Cool. I work tomorrow morning but we can just meet up somewhere and then head out from there." I suggested with a nervous grin.

"Sounds fine Shitty Hair." Was his only response before backing away from the city to sit down next to me.

I decided to change the subject to something more lighthearted. For the rest of lunch we talked about heroes and our classes before it was time to head back to class.

I was currently at work, just waiting until my shift was over so Bakugou and I could head to the festival.

I had told Mina after lunch that Bakugou and I were going to hang out together at the festival instead of in a group like originally planned. In exchange, we agreed that I would come over to Sero's house during the weekend to play some video games and watch some movies.

I still had about ten minutes left in my shift before I was allowed to leave. I absentmindedly cleaned counters and equipment off when I hear the sound of the door bell ring. Thinking that it was my coworker showing up for his shift, I stay in the back room that held the tools. The sound of rapid tapping of the service bell fills the store.

"Hey, Shitty Hair. Ya here?"

The nickname gave away who was calling for me. But I thought that I was going to meet him at a cafe.

I walk out into main area where I see Bakugou standing nonchalantly. He was wearing black, ripped jeans and loose navy blue shirt. The dark colors made his pale skin and light ashy hair stand out more than usual. His fingers were fiddling with a flower petal before his eyes spotted me. "Hey, I thought we were going to meet up at the cafe?" I question.

He shuffled away from the counter to brush past different displays of flowers. "Ya, but it's easier this way," was his only explanation, "You almost done with your damn shift?"

I eye him for a moment or two before looking at my watch. I see that it is now two minutes past the end of my shift. "Yep, I'm done. Let me go change and clock out." I announce while walking to the back room. Over my shoulder I can hear a faint 'whatever' come from Bakugou.

Bakugou POV

Shitty Hair walks out from the back of the store after a few minutes of waiting. He was wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a red long sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up. It was simple but looked good on him. To ignore the fact that I had been staring I grumble out something quick, "Took you time"

He returns my remarks with a shy smile. "Sorry about that. Ya ready to go?" He laughed as he brushed by my shoulder as a way to say 'let's get going'.

"Whatever, Hair for Brains."

Author's Note:

Okay this is a short chapter but I recently became busy with playing soccer, so from now on I'll not make long chapters that are almost 2000 words, but smaller chapters, I will also post more frequently. I'll try two chapters a week instead of one.

Sorry for posting that irrelevant picture at the top. It just made me laugh my ass off.
