I hate Bakugo Katsuki. I'm not sure when exactly it started but I could never forget how. He always made fun of how I didn't have a quirk before I got one, and when I did get my quirk he still made fun of me for being weak. The one time it bothered me was when... well that's not important. He was a stupid, bratty kid who thought he was better than everyone else, but did anything really change?

No one knew why we had this rivalry, but they knew that if we had the chance to push each other off the roof we probably would. In middle  school he was trying to go to UA, but so was I. We both managed to make it in, along with Midoriya Izuku, and when he found out he lost it. At UA our rivalry only grew more and more. When we had the chance to fight each other we would, when we were in class we would argue, we'd find something to get at each other about at least three times a day.

So why is it that Bakugo's standing in front of me asking him to date me?

"Listen," He started. "I know we hate each other but you're the only person I know that'll agree." I raised my brow in suspicion, my arms crossed and all my weight on my right leg.

"So let me get this straight." I clapped my hands and pointed them towards the male. "You want me to help you get with Uraraka by fake dating me? That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard come from you, and that's saying something! Considering stupid is all that comes out of your big mouth-"

"Hey! I'm not asking for sass I'm asking for help! Just one week is all I'm asking for. You're Uraraka's best friend which means you know a lot about what she likes, what she doesn't, whatever whatever. You're my best chance at this. We go out on dates, hold hands, whatever couples do for a week. Plus it'll help get the old hag off my back for a while." Bakugo clicked his tongue and looked away quickly before looking back at me. "So do we have a deal?"

"Why do you wanna 'date' me if you're wanting to date Uraraka? Why can't you just ask her out?" I asked. It was very confusing. Dating someone else to be able to get with another is stupid, and it's for cowards (no I'm not just saying this because it's Bakugo... sorta).

"Because I wanna do it in a way she'll like and it might make her jealous!" Bakugo yelled.

"I think you're the real jealous one here. I see how you look at her when she's talking to Midorya. I mean it's kind of obvious-"

"Shut up! Now are you helping me or not?" I'm not sure why he was acting like it was some big secret. Whenever he looked at her his eyes would soften and he wouldn't ever yell as loud as he normally did whenever he talked to her. Sometimes he'd even smile. Well at least the best smile Bakugo could do.

The terms were simple enough, and I was actually debating doing it. Who knows, maybe I'll find something I can use against pop rocks over here. But helping him out with nothing guaranteed for me? No way! "What's in it for me?"

Bakugo groaned loudly and slid his hand down his face before crossing his arms again. "Well what do you want?"

"Buy my lunches for the week and say I'm the best hero that ever lived."

"I'll buy your lunches but I'm not saying that second part!"

"Yes you are!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Absolutely not! I'd rather kiss Deku!"

"Then I won't help you!"

"Fine! I'll say it after you help me. Deal?"

"Mmmmm fine. Deal."

We shook hands and with that, the best and worst lie I've ever been a part of commenced.
