CHAPTER FOURTY-EIGHT

THE NEXT TWO weeks of school were hectic, your lives being completely hijacked by hero-training and finals. There wasn't much free-time with all of the assigned work you were given, leaving you and Bakugo little to no time to hangout. You were a bit disappointed, looking forward to what Bakugo had in mine to make it official. It's not like you were in a rush, though. You wanted the moment to be special.

Due to the limited amount of free-time, a few of your classmates decided to host a game-night/sleepover. You begged Bakugo to join you, knowing he wasn't the social type. He eventually caved in, wanting to make you happy. When you arrived to the common room, you noticed the rearranging of the couches, with dozens of blankets placed in-between for everyone to sleep. Sero and Denki were discussing on the best possible way to create a fort, while Yaoyorozu and Todoroki played cards.

"(Y/n), Bakugo, welcome!!" Mina shouted from the kitchen, waving as she smiled. She was accompanied by Satou and Uraraka, who were shoving a tray of cookies into the oven. They were covered with flour, and would have to shower before they slept in the bed-couch-fort.

"Baku-bro, what's up?!" Kirishima yelled from the couch, his eyes glued to the television screen. He was playing a round of Super Smash Bros with Jiro, who was beating him senseless. Midoriya sat beside them, waiting to play next. Hagakure and Asui were scrolling on their phones, not paying much attention to the chaos around them.

You made your way to the couch with Bakugo. As you took a seat, you noticed Yaoyorozu and Todoroki interlocking their pinkies. You smirked, knowing exactly where their relationship was headed. Joining you on the couch was Mina and Uraraka, who sat beside you.

"So, I've got a party game for us." Mina announced, holding up a bowl of folded sticky-notes and shaking its contents. "We're going to play... Seven Minutes in Heaven!! You can either enter the storage closet with whoever's on the paper for seven minutes, or take a shot. Whatever you choose to do in those seven minutes is up to you." As if on cue, Uraraka pulled a bottle of alcohol from behind her back.

"Don't tell Iida." She giggled. "If you want to play, come sit in the circle." You exchanged looks with Bakugo, before shrugging, joining the circle of students on the floor. To start the game off, Mina placed the bowl onto Uraraka's lap.

"You're first." Mina grinned suspiciously. You were the only person that seemed to notice Mina slip a sticky-note into Uraraka's hand behind her back, and you knew exactly who was on that paper. Uraraka dumped her hand into the bowl, pretending to pull out the same exact note Mina handed her.

She opened the paper, before blushing. "I got Deku." Midoriya, who sat in-between Jiro and Kirisihima, instantly turned red. He pointed to himself in disbelief, to which Uraraka nodded. She stood up, taking his hand and leading him to the closet. Denki, Kirishima, and Sero cheered as they shut the door, locking it behind them.

"Become a man, Deku!!" Denki cheered, proud of his friend for entered with the girl he liked. "I want to go next!!" Snatching the bowl from the middle of the circle, Denki fished for a sticky note.

He opened it, his eyes growing wide. "I got Jiro, cool. So, where are we supposed to go?!" Jiro sighed, standing up from where she sat.

"Let's just go into the pantry." She said, to which he obliged. Smiling in satisfaction, Mina grabbed the bowl from the middle. Everything's going as planned, she thought. Before the next person could go, Uraraka and Midoriya made their way back from the closet, taking a seat at the circle. Midoriya was completely red, his mouth and neck stained with Uraraka's lipgloss. She whistled awkwardly, twirling her hair as she avoided everyone's gaze.

"Nice one, Deku." Bakugo laughed, catching Midoriya by surprise. "Who knew you'd get the balls to ever kiss a girl in this lifetime." You nudged him, urging him to be nice.

"Alright, my turn." Mina announced, she dug her hand into the bowl, mixing the paper before pulling out a singular note. She unfolded it, holding it up for everyone to see.

"Would you look at that, it's Kirishima." She smirked, eyeing Kirishima. The red-head stood up, blushing as he took Mina's hand and was led to the storage closet. Before anyone could take the bowl, Sero snatched it from where Mina sat, pulling out a paper.

He unfolded it, standing up as he read it aloud. "Hagakure." She flinched, surprised to hear her name. Sitting for a moment, she ultimately decided to take a drink.

"Aw, come on..." Sero muttered in disappointment, slumping back down onto the floor. Denki and Jiro then returned, taking a seat in the circle. Their hair was disheveled, and their lips glossed with saliva. Jiro looked away in embarrassment.

"Whoever's next, just go already!!" Taking the bowl from Sero, Hagakure pulled out a piece of paper. She unfolded it, before smiling.

"I got Satou!!" As his name was called, he was approaching the group with the tray of cookies. Hagakure quickly stood up, leading Satou back to the kitchen and into the pantry. Sero scoffed in disbelief. As the group waited for Mina and Kirishima to return, you all decided to take a food break. One thing was for sure: Satou sure knew how to bake. After a while, they returned.

"Alright," Mina panted, plopping down next to Bakugo. "Whose next?!" Kirishima took a seat beside her, scratching his neck awkwardly. They were covered in sweat, and their hair was a mess. Your eyes widened, not realizing how into Kirishima that Mina must've been. She whispered, saying something that only Bakugo heard.

"I'll be back." Bakugo spoke up, standing and making his way down the hallway. You waved as he walked away, hoping you didn't have your named pulled by anyone other than him.

"I'll go." Todoroki offered, seeing that nobody else wanted to go. Todoroki tossed a few of the sticky-notes around before pulling one out.

He unfolded it, "I got Yaoyorozu." She blushed, before standing up alongside him. They made their way to the closet, Yaoyorozu slightly brushing her hand against his. It was silent, before Mina shoved the bowl into your lap.

"You didn't get to go." She winked, placing a sticky-note beside your lap without anyone noticing. You laughed, sneakily grabbing the paper before you reached into the bowl. "Pulling out a note", you opened it up and read aloud.

"Bakugo." You shrugged, standing up. "I'll go find him, I guess." Making your way down the hall, you made your way to Bakugo's room, assuming he was there. Knocking, you entered his unlocked room, spotting him seated at the edge of his bed. He was fiddling with his thumbs, looking up as soon as you entered.

"You know Mina and her schemes." You chuckled, earning an amused smile from Bakugo. You decided to approach him, standing directly in front of him. You ran your hand through his hair, analyzing his features carefully. He glanced over your appearance, before placing a hand against your lower back and pulling you closer. The deafening silence seemed to communicate exactly what the both of you wanted.

"Get on my lap." He muttered, tugging you by the waistband. Wordlessly, you obliged, doing as you were told. You placed a hand against his chest as the other caressed his cheek, eventually locking your lips with his. Placing a hand behind your head, he pulled you deeper into the kiss. He gently grazed his tongue over your lips before sliding it into your mouth. As you kissed, his hands traveled to your ass, squeezing tightly. You arched your back, letting out a moan in response, to which he loved.

Both of you wrestled tongues for what seemed like forever, your kisses growing sloppier as the time passed. Eventually, the two of you were running out of air, leaving you no choice but to pull away. You both huffed as you locked eyes, a string of saliva still attached to both of your lips.

"Oh—" Spinning your head around, you spotted Kirishima who had accidentally walked in on the two of you. He immediately covered his eyes, turning to walk away, only to run into the door-frame. You gasped, pushing away from Bakugo and fixing your appearance. Clearing your throat, you exchanged awkward glances between Bakugo and Kirishima, who was rubbing the bump on his forehead.

"...... I just came to find you both. It's been like twenty minutes." With that, he ran down the hallway and back to the common room. Avoiding Bakugo's stare, you gestured for him follow, making your way back to your classmates.
