Late that night, Sero is awoken by Bakugou's stern voice, as he drags Sero downstairs. He needed help baking the cake, as he hated being alone downstairs without someone with hin, even if he didn't admit it.

"He's your fiance, so your helping." 

Sero nods, letting out a yawn. It was three in the morning. Why Bakugou needed so much time was beyond Sero but he played along. 

"Hand me the wisk and the bowl. Let's bake this cake."

"Is that a new version of Lets get this bread?"

"Fuck outta my kitchen."

"Sorry dude." Sero laughs, complying with Bakugou's request. Within the next few hours, Sero watches Bakugou bake, his expression becoming more and more relaxed the longer he stayed in the kitchen. He even started humming. Sero could see why Kirishima liked him. 

He had a plesant aura about him when he wasn't scowling. Bakugou made three different sized cakes, rolling out different colored fondent. Once each layer was covered in the sweet coating, he begins to frost the cake in white frosting.

"I asked Denki what his favorite show was and he said Scream Queens so i'm making that my theme." Bakugou explains, pulling out his food dye and food alcohol. Once the cake was finished decorated, Sero was allowed to look at it. It was three teared with smooth white frosting and red blood splatters on the cake with designer logo's painted around it.

Bakugou hides the cake in his baking fridge, which was located in the basement. How Kirishima found that and bought it for Bakugou was a mystery to Sero who just went along with what Bakugou ordered him to do. After doing the dishes, Mina was woken up by kirishima, who gave everyone a job to do.

Mina did ballons, Kirishima did table cloths and moving the furnature while Bakugou and Sero put streamers all down the halls and railings. Ballons were tied to various gifts everyone bought him. Bakugou left halfway to start breakfast, which he orders Sero to bring to Denki so Kirishima and Mina could finish the makeshift dance floor.

Sero was quick to agree, bouncing upstairs, a grin on his face. He was so lucky that Denki and his friends got along. If not, it would be so awkward. 

Denki was peacefully asleep on the bed, softly snoring and drooling on his pillow, which made Sero stiffle a laugh.

"Denki, wake up." The blond twitches, his eyes slowly opening as he sits up, yawning widely.

"What's up?"

"Happy birthday. Bakugou made you breakfast, i just delivered." Denki's eyes brightened, his wide smile growing.

"Smells nice." Denki says, taking the try after kissing Sero's cheek. He eats his food while Sero takes a shower and gets dressed. Once Denki finishes getting ready, Sero gets a text from Mina, saying that everything was ready.

"Let's go downstairs." Sero says, tossing his phone on the bed. Denki raises an eyebrow but follows Sero down the stairs, getting excited once he sees the ballons and streamers.

"Happy birthday!" the group yells, tackl hugging Denki who squeals, falling back onto Sero. Even Bakugou let out some laughs and gave a hug.

"Surpirsed?!" Mina asks, taking Denki's hand as she shows him around the decorated house.

"Yes! Who planned this?"

"We all did! Bakugou bought the stuff for the cake, Sero and i got the decorations and Kirishima helped set up everything." Mina explains. Denki laughs as Kirishima places a birthday boy pin on Denki's shirt.

"We have some people coming over later too. Izuku and his friends and Sero's boss wanted to come." Bakugou says, straightneing up one of the streamers. Denki hugs him tight, making Bakugou's eyes widen.

"You guys are the best!"

"Hell yeah i am!" Bakugou smirks, flicking Denki's nose. The group puts on some music, beginning to dance around as they further readied the party for guests. 

"Hey Denki, Sero has more ballons in your guys room, in the vanity drawer. Wanna grab them?" Mina asks, pulling a ballon off the helium tank, her voice slighty higer which made her giggle.

"Hurry up." Bakugou says, his voice extremely high due to the helium. After everyone started howling with laugher, Denki made his way upstairs, still giggling. He found the ballons easy, but Sero's ringtone made him jump. Why he had to have the song from Holloween as his ringtone was beyond Denki, but it always scared him everytime he heard it. 

"Hello?"

"Denki? Happy birthday!" His mothers voice calls out from the speaker. Denki freezes, his blood running cold. How did his mom manage to call him? It only took a seconf before he realized that this wasnt his phone, with his friends numbers and his stupidly girly wallpaper. It was Sero's phone, with the black case and multiple different game logo's painted on it. 

"Why are you calling me?" Denki asks, trying to sound angry. His mom's soft sigh could be heard. When she spoke it was careful and hushed.

"How are you doing? Is your...friend taking care of you?"

"You mean my finace? Yes, Sero is taking very good care of me, along with my new friends. One's who actually care for me." Denki says, his chest welling up with pride. His mom let out a gasp, her voice raising.

"You are way to young to get married! This is impossible! I forbid it!"

"Mom, be honest. If Sero was a girl, would you be as mad at me as you are now?" Denki's mom went silent but Denki knew the answer.

"Why can't you just let me be happy?" Denki says, his voice beginning to take on the whiney tone that told him he was going to cry. He didn't want to ruin his birthday, but he couldn't stop the tears. His body shook with nerves as he forced himself to calm down.

"Hunny, don't cry, it's fine. Why won't you come home?" she asks, sparking Denki's temper.

"Because i can't even have a crush, or live the rest of my short life without you looking at me like i'm the worlds dissapointment! And you know whats even sadder? If i didn't have Sero, i'd be there all alone, taking those looks and the hatred you give me, like i deserve it. I'd life my life, or the last three years of it, miserable. I'm happy here mom! And if you can't see that, then i don't want to talk to you! Ever!" Denki hung up, tossing Sero's phone on the bed, before storming out. He wipes his tears, stomping up to Sero, who looked confused. 

Denki pulled him into a deep kiss, holding Sero close by his shirt, which was bunched in Denki's hands. They kissed until they ran out of oxygen, separating with only a thin strong of saliva separating them.

"You ok Denki?" Sero pants.

"Never better."
