FLASHBACK.

July 8th, 00:20.
The bar next to the hotel.

"Oh shut up... that girl had so many problems that it was me who found her mentally unstable..." Bakugou rolled his eyes. Their faces were already colored and the bottle of sake had already lost half of its content.

"I always wondered..." Camie took another sip and laughed again, "...if your date with Himiko Toga was her like: *oh, I would love to drain Izuku Midoriya's blood and drink it*, and you like: *really? I would rather blow him to pieces and grin while I do it. Let's be friends!*" she lost it at the thought of that scene.

"You can laugh all you want. But nobody puts Deku in his proper place but me..." he acidly replied, finally grabbing the bottle at his third attempt.

"That's touching..." Camie teased as he served her another.

"You know... I was actually there when he confessed to the Round Face..." Bakugou's expression was something between amusement and cringe.

 "Picture this: we are outnumbered in the middle of a fight, the rest doing what they can with their extras' Quirks, I am blowing everything I can to the point I'm literally running out of sweat and the reinforces I didn't ask for are taking their time. Uraraka is hurt. Not so badly hurt, but for Deku must be like she's actually dying. Surprise, surprise, he is not focusing and that leads to some of his bones broken, like when he was an idiotic amateur, instead of just an idiot. When we are finally surrounded and with no way out due to hundreds of robots' shooting bringing the building to pieces, I am not worried at all, because a true hero always wins in the end. But Deku goes to the Round Face, he comforts her, he says we are going to be OK and I-don't-give-a-fuck-so-I-don't- remember-what... and what does the asshole do?" Bakugou asked as he took Camie's curious face in his hands in order to mimic the moment.

"No way! He tells Uraraka he...?" Camie found it a bit funny but also truly heart warming.

"I mean, REALLY!?" Bakugou nodded and let her face go. "By then, she was probably the only member of Class 1A who didn't know about his feelings towards her. He had hours, days and months to grow a pair... and he chooses that precise moment!? And not only that: when I am still trying to believe my ears..."

"Midoriya asks Uraraka to be his girlfriend!!" Camie's eyes and mouth wide opened.

"LIKE THAT!! NO WONDER WHY THE ROUND FACE SAID YES IN TEARS!!" Bakugou screamed, giving a clap and rubbing his forehead. "I was so shocked I forgot to kill him! People think I am a jerk, but they don't know how hard it is to be surrounded by a whole class of morons everyday!!"

"People in love tend to act that way. Even heroes. Don't you remember when you tried to get me a plushie from the claw machine?" asked Camie between laughs. Bakugou almost spitted the sake when he remembered. They were at an amusement park and he was doing his best to behave smoothly. But after four failed attempts Bakugou run out of coins, frowned, took a deep breath and told her to stay back. He yelled "SHINEEEEE!" at the machine and blasted the glass with his Quirk, and then he took all the plushies he could hold in his arms for her.

"That claw machine was shit and you know it!" Bakugou growled. "I just took what I had paid for! Nothing to do with that lame and bad timing declaration!"

"And in that situation... wouldn't you have done the same Midoriya did?" as soon as she had made the question Camie wondered what was that for. She had definitely drunk enough...

"Listen, Camie... if you had been there with me, I wouldn't have let any villain or piece of walking garbage to lay a finger on you in the first place..." he left his glass aside and stood as still as he could while talking. "And if... that... had happened... to you..." he couldn't get sleepy now, "...the city wouldn't be big enough for them to escape from my explosions..."
