the following days passed by excruciatingly slowly, while you excitedly waited for saturday to come around sooner. finally the day the group was waiting for had arrived.

you stepped off the train, stepping onto the bustling platform with a big group of murmuring behind you, making you hurry up the stairs to the entrance of the station.

looking around and seeing the entrance approaching, making you release a sigh. who knew walking up stairs was so exhausting.

walking out of the entrance you were immediately bombarded with a crowd walking up and down the street.

fuck.

once again you tried to look for the group you were meant to meet up with but the attempt failed, until your eyes landed on a certain hot pink girl standing higher than the crowd with her hands around her eyes like binoculars.

you smiled and pushed pass the crowd, muttering 'sorry' when accidentally hitting someone's shoulder. finally getting to the group you panted a bit before speaking. "hey- ow mina!"

she jumped down from her spot and clung onto you with a hug, her warmth kept the smile on your face, a faint smell of acid underneath the sweet perfume she was wearing.

"finally! can we go to the arcade now? they have air-con there." denki groaned on a nearby bench while fanning himself with his hand. sweat beads forming, running down his forehead and quickly wiping it off with the back of his hand.

"y/n! it's so great to finally meet you," kirishima shouted making some people turn their heads for a moment. you chuckled nervously at the elders that were staring at the interaction with looks of disgust.

"oh my gosh! you really do live up to the expectation of manliness" his appearance didn't surprise you since he posted many pictures of himself working out on his page and story, which did at times make you get secondhand embarrassment. you did an awkward run towards him and gave him a hug, to which he returned.

"ok let's go" sero said, currently trying to fan denki who seemed to have sweat a lot more. you quickly looked around to see the person you were ready to embarrass.

"wait! i have something to do. bakugou, as promised i will be doing the stanky leg." you smiled mischievously at him, placing your bag on the floor next to mina. he groaned and face palmed watching you get ready. you started to dance, gaining even more judgment from the elders next to you.

"get it y/n!" mina clapped, getting you all hyped up. bakugou cracked a knuckle and sighed, getting down into position and doing the same action you were. the remaining 4 stared in shock but decided to cheer for him too.

the two of you stopped. you laughed along with mina and kirishima, who were complementing how well you did as you explained how you were trying to perfect it during the week. you looked up to bakugou who was being made fun of by sero and denki. "i didn't think you would do it?"

"it would be embarrassing if you just did it..." bakugou said with a blank face. in actuality he was also practicing throughout the week to be prepared for that moment, so then you wouldn't look as dumb.

"well, nice to meet you bakugou" you smiled at him, sticking your hand out for a fist bump to which he lightly smacked your hand away and 'tched'. he grabbed your bag and threw it at you making you take a few steps back and wobbling a bit before carrying it properly.

"does this mean we can go now?" denki gasped, everyone nodded as he quickly sped off towards the arcade with the rest following behind him.

bright neon lights illuminated your face, games lighting up and showing small previews of the game repeating itself. loud music from each game overlapping each other.

but there was one game that stood brightly pushed up against a wall, dance dance revolution. everyone's eyes seemed to have locked onto the machine as a competitive tension started to spread through the air.

everyone threw their bags next to the machine, kirishima held a piece of paper while denki started sticking up bad photos of us on the wall.

"welcome to abby lee miller's starting line up. today is a big day to prove your worth as a dancer." kirishima stated while walking around us.

"today's first competitors for the title of 'the best dancer' are...sero and mina!" kirishima announced, the two competitors stared at each other and stretching to get ready. kirishima stuck the paper next to the pictures revealing who was going against who.

mina stepped onto the machine with sero, giving a coin for the game to start. "what difficulty?" mina asked while searching through the songs.

"you're pretty good so make it the second hardest. i still wanna give you a chance" sero said, mina stomped on the arrow confirming the song choice and the duo got ready. the game started and both were doing well, the lead constantly changing. in the end sero one, but only just.

"congrats sero!" you cheered and gave him a high-five. a loud fake cough got all of your attention. denki stood besides the photos. "hello dancers, today at the bottom of the pyramid is...mina. you didn't make the cut" he said, grabbing the picture of mina and placing it on the floor face down.

"what?! denki i could beat you in this game" mina whined, not liking the title of being at the bottom of the pyramid. denki shrugged and looked at the next opponents.

"alrighty, me and y/n are next! just so you know i will win." denki teased, poking your shoulder and stepping onto the machine with a coin in his hands.

"you say a lot of shit considering you only know tiktok dances." you made fun of him, remembering him sending you tiktok dances he did...badly. you stepped on the machine and chose the medium setting.

the game had started and the both of you were loudly stomping onto the machine and groaning when you didn't hit 'perfect' even though you swear you did.

in the end you won, denki collapsing onto the bar behind him and panting. "well done" he said weakly, trying to calm down his breathing. "you too" you say falling onto the carpeted floor and watched the final match, between bakugou and kirishima, before the semi finals.

bakugou won and stood proudly when denki took down the red hair's picture. the three winners of the matches stood in a triangle, playing rock paper scissors to see who would go against who and luckily for the group, you and bakugou were going against each other.

just as they had planned. mina grabbed her phone and set it up in a 'secret' area, which was really just between the bag, to record the moment and use it for inspiration for her next fanfic.

"the battle of the stanky leg, stank" you smirked, already choosing a song choice. "whatever cockroach, choose a difficult one." you selected a pretty difficult one and the dance had begun. it was a pretty easy start, simple steps but it slowly sped up making you and bakugou struggled a little but still managed to keep up.

the two of you stayed quiet, concentrating heavily on the game and your steps. your steps and stomps were coordinated, making you feel slightly worried that he was beating you so you stepped louder to try and get him to lose his focus. is this cheating? nah- if he fucks up, that's on him.

and fortunately your tactic worked, he missed a few steps. "can you step quieter cockroach!" he shouted, stomping more aggressively which then made you do the same. the game ended and you awaited the results.

"ha! i wo- what?!" bakugou stared in disbelief seeing that you had actually won. his smirk dropped as he watched you celebrate. "haha! i guess that makes me the better dancer out of the two of us" you smiled at him, this was your first time properly taking in his features.

not too shabby.

"what are you looking at dumbass?" he questioned you making you snap out of examining his face and clothes, trying to see what person he actually was. "how stupid you look. why are you wearing full black, i thought you were unique?"

"shut the fuck up, you look as stupid as you sound. wearing shitty clothes." bakugou insulted what you thought was a cute outfit. you scoffed at the pathetic attempt "you look like you stepped out of an mcr phase"

"sorry to break up this uhm...cute? thing happening but i need to earn my title." sero grabbed hold of you both with a competitive vibe as he stared at the machine. bakugou stepped off and shouted at denki for ripping up the picture of him.

sero chose the hardest difficulty, and fuck were you struggling. sero was in the lead by a lot and you were never able to catch up resulting him to be 'the best dance in existence of existence'.

"congratulations sero, you are at the top of the pyramid so here's your prize!" kirishima held out a paper crown and placed it on sero's head. he readjusted it before celebrating. everyone grabbed their bag and followed behind mina and denki to the food court.

you pulled a chair over to the table and sat next to denki. "oh i have uno by the way, if you want we can play a quick game?" kirishima suggested and everyone agreed, he pulled out the box containing the cards and started to shuffle them and dish them out.

the game lasted around 10 minutes, with you coming second place after placing a +4 on the pile making bakugou rage as he now had 26 cards and raged quit. mina asked everyone what they wanted and stood up.

"ok, i'll go order the food. sero and kiri can you help?" they nodded and stood up to head off to the counter. denki looked at them nervously before speaking.

"i need to...shit?" he ran towards the toilet, leaving an awkward silence between you and bakugou. the first time you two had been alone together.

"sorry for that +4, i hope you don't mind" you said trying to start a conversation, texting him was a lot easier than this. you fiddled with your fingers feeling anxious when he didn't reply, maybe he was purposely avoiding you.

"well i did mind, but i understand you gotta do what you gotta do to win." he huffed, slouching further back into his chair. "you know what i actually have a question." you stared at him again, further inspecting him. "what?"

"how does your hair stay like that?wait- oh my gosh are you like the gorilla glue girl?" you laughed at him as his face turned sour and turned to face you.

"shut up dumb cockroach, your shoelaces have been untied since leaving the arcade!" he pointed at you. you looked down to your feet and saw it was untied. "why didn't you tell me?"

"i wanted to see you fall and laugh at you" he chuckled at the thought of you falling face first in front of everyone. "you're really mean, did you know that?" you stated after tying your laces twice.

"does it look like i give a fuck?" he stated and sat up properly and ran his hand over the 26 cards in front of him and putting it on top of the pile in the centre of the table. "you also suck at games"

"shut the fuck up"
