YOU'RE WALKING TO YOUR FUCKING DEATH, SHITTY HAIR!!

1/2

[machismost]

Aw man I made a mistake

Meant to type BEST friend!

2/2

[machismost]

Yo is Death gonna open the gate for me this time or do I have to climb?

adorkable. stop that.

[blastedass]

[Damn right he's your BEST and don't fucking forget it!]

You expect your elder to serve you, kid?


[yeah but, isn't kirishima also...]

but he loves u bestie

[machismost]

I'm older than you here blastybrat! AND I'm your guest.

And I have your present.

still gonna blow your damn ass up for this!

[blastedass]

That doesn't fucking count!

[He'd refused to believe it until Kirishima gave him some indisputable proof. And then sulked about it for a good few hours. Bastard.]

God dammit! I said don't get anything!

[Shit, he's touched... pissed, but touched.]

worth it

[machismost]

[ You sulked because, what, he 'won' getting to 18 first? ]

Did you? Aw man I guess that's what you meant by hair for brains...

[ Convenient. ]

I don't think I can take it back. You'll see what I mean later.

[blastedass]

[YES! He was the oldest kid in class and loved it! Then Kirishima showed up older than him, first to 18 and he was PISSED!]

No, it means you're fucking stubborn, Shitty Hair.

[Heard him and ignored him completely.]

What? The hell'd you get?!

[Now he's wary!]

[machismost]

[ Poor Bakugou. He's still an old man in Kirishima's heart. And sometimes you just have to ignore crabby old men. While he can accept not having a big blowout party, no way Eijiro wasn't going to get his friend a gift. ]

Open the gate and find out! I'm here!

[blastedass]

[DOES AN OLD MAN DO POP WHEELIES ON HIS BAD ASS MOTORCYCLE HE BUILT HIMSELF?! NO HE FUCKING DOESN'T!!

And despite himself, Bakugou knows Kirishima's like this. So... scowling at the phone and accepting it's bound to happen.

Before pushing off said couch and slumping on over to the door. It unlocks and Bakugou heads outside, rubbing the side of his head in annoyance, his usual black-decked casuals clashing with his light skin and the sunlight outside. It's warm now. Spring's in full go.

And there's his bestie, on the other side of the gate waiting to be let in.]

Fucking jump it...

[Growling as he comes over and unlocks the gate. Surreptitiously looking for present...]

Hey.

[machismost]

[ It could be argued that is exactly what mid-life crisis men do, so maybe not the best example.

Anyway yes, Kirishima is out here dressed for spring in a tank top under a light, short-sleeved open shirt. Completing the ensemble are some cargo shorts and his Krooks ( after Krookidile, you see - the Pokemon world had some interesting brand similarities ). Some say you're never really dressed without a smile and of course he's got a big, toothy one for his friend.

The present in question is easy to spot and appears to be in wide, but relatively thin box tucked under one of Kirishima's arms. ]

Hey! Happy Birthday!

[ Kirishima does not offer the aforementioned present just yet despite using it as a carrot to get Katsuki to leave his house. ]

Lock up, let's go get somethin' to eat!

[ Look, his ploys are very simple... but sometimes they work. ]

[blastedass]

[Drop dead! He's not having a mid-life crisis either! He runs a schedule and that's that! It keeps him fit and healthy, so screw off the teasing, Shitty Hair.

God those red shoes of his are fucking garish. Bakugou scowls down at them for a few seconds before pulling the gate open and letting Kirishima in. At least the gardens and vegetable patches are all coming up nice again after the winter. Izuku did a good job keeping them well during the cold months. So plenty for Kirishima to look at while Bakugou checks him out.

He'd be lying if he said he didn't look for those dragon ears and tail. It'd... been a lingering thing after their adventures in that shitty alternate universe. He can't tell if it's him that's looking or the devil side.

Anyways, Kirishima looks nice and sporty and casual like normal.

AHAH! He sees you, you fucking present!]

Yeah yeah, don't wake the fucking neighborhood.

[Bakugou blinks when the entire moment 180s from coming over to going out.]

You just got here!

[machismost]

[ No ears or tail today! And the only horns are the ones he made with his hair gel. He's not afflicted with Malachite's instability curse, so his 'time of the month' is at least another five days away, if it comes at all. His first few months here, it hadn't, at least not physically. One could reason the amped up playfulness is his amethyst at work, but it could just as easily be excitement to reunite with his friend on his special day.

He blinks and tilts his head at the protest in turn. ]

You don't have any plans with Midoriya tonight?

[ Regardless of how privvy he is or isn't to Bakugou's relationship with Midoriya, he'd assumed he might have to share his friend's time today with at least his housemate. Here he was just trying to be thoughtful - maybe he shouldn't be worried after all. ]

[blastedass]

[Bakugou doesn't really expect people to follow the "normal" schedule of the month, just assumes there's a chance that "time of the month" will happen generally around the period. He's had one or two months where it didn't happen to him at all, so that's another option. Fucking chaotic here sometimes... Whether Bakugou is more in favor of the transformations or the ruby's emotional surges, he hasn't figured that out for himself either. Not something he likes to think about.

The blonde runs his hand through his hair, blowing out a frustrated breath.]

Deku already got me all morning. Made breakfast and everything. So damn proud of himself for it too. Wasn't bad either. Since I didn't want a damn party, he said he's leaving the rest of today open for you, Half-n-Half, whoever else.

[Because Izuku's always the self-sacrificing type and doesn't want to monopolize Bakugou's time from his other friends (even if he likely secretly wants to). That's just how Izuku is. And the blonde's a stubborn idiot who doesn't want a party so has to do time divide between his other friends.

Bakugou snorts and rolls his eyes with a wry smile.]

Said he'll save the rest for tomorrow.

[Bakugou's gonna be hanging with Izuku all day tomorrow as well, so Kirishima's got nothing to worry about.]

[machismost]

Oh! Awesome! By the way...

[ He dips his chin and lowers his voice a little, as if they could possibly be overheard. ]

Thanks for teachin' Todoroki the right way to make eggs. He's improved a lot. If you want him to come out with us later, I can let him know?

[ He also got breakfast in bed a month ago, but Bakugou doesn't need to know that. It's his day. Back to a normal volume: ]

But yeah, ok! What d'you wanna do for now, birthday boy?

[blastedass]

[Bakugou leans his head away when Kirishima leans in closer, more out of instinct than actual aversion. Got a suspecting look on his face too... at least until the redhead speaks and then the blonde goes all smug-faced grin.]

Told you I'd put a stop to that shit. [The victory is his. Though his express warps to disgust after.] Fucker was breaking eggs in his fist. Why the fuck didn't you said something?! You wanna get your throat lacerated on egg shells?

[WHAP! Right on the head for being a stupid idiot!]

Dunno. That's up to him. Think he was hinting at doing something solo.

[Sulking because his not!friends want to spend time with him and obviously that's a "problem" for Mr. Antisocial.]

Fu-? ME?! You're the one that just told me to get ready and go!

[machismost]

I didn't want him to feel discouraged. It was already really nice he was making me breakfast, you know? What room did I have to complain if it was just somethin' as small as an eggshell or two? I could take that.

[ He was being polite, in other words, which is exactly what Katsuki told Todoroki when Todoroki asked why anyone would 'lie' about his abilities in the kitchen. In other words, Bakugou knew his friend perfectly. Kirishima has sharp teeth, an iron stomach, and the drive to encourage his friends through their hobbies. He assuredly would have told Todoroki if his cooking was awful but... it was just good enough at the time he could stomach his productions. Thank god for Bakugou. ]

BECAUSE I THOUGHT you and Midoriya were gonna do something later! But now that's not the case. We got more time than I thought! I'll contact Todoroki.

[ Whipping out his phone with that box still tucked under his arm. ]

It's your day, dude! What do you wanna do? I was hopin' we'd go out and eat and get a drink or somethin' to celebrate you being officially legal back home, but I'm up for whatever!

[blastedass]

That wasn't a damn eggshell or two, and he fucking flambed the top of it. [Bakugou juts his lower jaw in annoyance, teeth gritting slightly.] You don't have to berate him to give him some pointers, you know!

[Big difference between being polite and wanting to offer some words of improvement. You think their teachers corrected them during class out of some sense of vindictive motive? No! It's to help them get better.

Yeah but sharp teeth and iron stomach still have a fleshy gullet and esophagus between them. Whatever, both of them can now benefit from getting some egg-related improvements thrown at Shoto's cooking skills!]

Oy. If you're gonna bring Half-n-Half along for dinner, I'm gonna message Deku or he'll give me hell for it.

[That pout is insane... Bakugou has no problem going out to lunch with Kirishima and doing whatever with him, but a dinner between friends should include all of them, even if he's loath to deal with the idea of a "party" his boyfriend's probably going to try and turn it into.

And he kind of might want to just... do something alone with Kirishima. He doesn't get to see his bestie as often these days as he did back home.]

That's fine. [Lunch, drinks, all that. But thinking about what else to do...] They got a rock-climbing wall at the arcade, and I know there's a sports game going on at The Coliseum.

[machismost]

I know... But...

[ Kirishima is stalwart and too sweet. Bakugou already has recognized and fixed the problem for him by giving Todoroki an education on how to make the eggs. Does he need to say anything else?

Sure! Let's get together if you wanna.

[ Kirishima's all for getting their classmates together for dinner. He just knows Deku's been having a time of it lately. He's been waiting for a cue from Midoriya to let him know it's ok to reach back out, not wanting to intrude on his process for what's been happening lately back in their world. He cares about Deku, but he lives with Todoroki and Bakugou's too close to him not to bother.

Anyway, he's texting Todoroki to ask if he wants to come out and celebrate tonight since it seems like Bakugou set some time aside for him anyway. ]

I work at that arcade, so I know. If you're talkin' about the one in the Sapphire District, anyway. Ichiban.

[ Kirishima smirks. ]

I can get us in at a discount. What's the deal at the Colseum?

[blastedass]

Next time, tell him. You can cook with him and he'll fucking love it.

[Instead of letting Shoto get away with his sucky cooking skills. Granted he's got plenty of basics down in theory, but his execution of them is fucked up. Kirishima can not only get better food, but also get Shoto feeling proud of himself and enjoy some co-cooking with his friend. Win win situation for both of them.

All for the low low price of not keeping his damn kind-hearted mouth shut!]

Worry about that after we're done with you and me.

[Izuku's been improving, slowly. January took a lot out of him, both from where he came from in their world and all that rouge business, and then the fucking weather and all that shit in the freezing month making things even worse on him. But he's recovering. They should be able to enjoy a dinner with the four of them tonight. Bakugou'll put up with it for their sakes. In exchange for not having a damn party thrown at the house. How's that?

Bastards... He's gonna shoot a text to Izuku as well, who's out in the gym going through some training exercises. Make him multitask.]

Uh-huh. One of the high scores on the DDR machine. [Not THE highest score, unfortunately. Some freak who does almost nothing but keeps the top spot.] Something like a basketball game? That's not the name of the sport, but it's playing at 3.

[machismost]

Trust me, dude, I've tried. He likes to cook by himself or I cook for him. We have a hard time working together right now in the kitchen.

[ It's kind of a race every morning in the Kirishima/Todoroki household and most days Kirishima lets Todoroki win. He kind of loves doing his stretches and wandering right down into breakfast most mornings. It used to be to crunchy eggs, but thanks to Bakugou, it's been decent-to-good eggs. Some days Kirishima gets down there first and makes actually good breakfast. He's not a great cook, but Kirishima has breakfast and pan-fried dishes down pat. Maybe one day he'll toss his friends away from the kitchen and show them as much instead of letting them cook for him. ]

That your wish? You wanna top the score at the DDR or basketball machine in Ichiban?

[ He's amused, but he's not actually goading this time. ]

We could do that for sure, maybe more. I've got a lot of coins saved up.

[blastedass]

Really.

[Somehow he finds that hard to believe. The two seem pretty close and get along well. Bakugou eyes him, not sure he's gonna go with it... but Kirishima's a sucky liar. Makes him wonder just what kind of agreement they've got worked out as far as cooking goes. Bakugou does most of the cooking, but Izuku's free to help him with the prep while he's controlling the dinner process. Not that Izuku's a bad cook when he runs the show. Still, they both know who's the better of them, so Izuku usually handles the dishes. Which ends up being Blackwhip training. Fucker...]

Oy. Getting shit confused, Shitty Hair. I'm talking about a "basketball game" at the Crystal Colosseum. Going to see a sports game.

[The big ass fucking arena that plays host to a variety of events, from concerts, stage plays, and carnivals to sporting and gaming attractions.]

And I'd rather go rock climbing with you than dick around on the DDR.

[machismost]

[ Kirishima is a sucky liar so Bakugou can understand he's being sincere about what he says, as Kirishima almost always is. Todoroki really has improved and he beats Kirishima to making breakfast most days. beyond that? Hard to say. Kirishima just assumes Bakugou does the breakfast most days in his own household just because he's usually up so early, when he cares to. He now thinks of Bakugou when his morning eggs don't have shells in them. Anyway.

Oh! Tonight?

[ Kirishima's certainly curious. He likes sports games even if he isn't a consistent fan of anything in particular beyond Quirk competitions, especially in Noctium. This is the first real game he's heard of. ]

Oh man, though, let's do it! I'm up for showin' you my skills at any other place than your rock wall! Unless you've got some sorta thing that randomzes it? Wouldn't be fair to compete against you on your home turf!

[blastedass]

[That's a fault and a perk for Kirishima. One of the reasons Bakugou trusts him as much as he does, and feels comfortable around him. Even if his eternal optimism and friendliness can sometimes piss him off. And yeah, he's right in assuming Bakugou's up first. He keeps to his routine and schedule, though occasionally Izuku'll be up with him cause he couldn't sleep or because he wants to go running with the blonde in the cool of the morning. Depends.

Least they don't have shells in their eggs.]

Uh-huh.

[He smirks at the mention of his "home turf" when it comes to the rock walls.]

What, you work there and don't take advantage of trying the shit out? Lame.

[Bakugou occasionally catches some competitions or games at the coliseum, watching it from home or going to the place with a companion. Rare. But it's not bad at all and he can get swept up in the competitiveness. Not that he had much interest in them at home due to Quirks, but here... shit happens.]

Whatever you think you can give me a decent challenge at, bring it the fuck on, Shitty Hair.

[machismost]

[ Kirishima doesn't hold softness against Bakugou, really. If he addresses it, he praises it, if he even mentions it at all. Sure, he's gonna tease his friend about going to bed early, but here he is, reveling in the afternoon and his friend's regard. He's not expecting lunch but he's definitely happy to step beyond his friend's gate into luch time. ]

Tsh. You think so? I got a place to set the record straight, dude. Don't think I don't have resources.

[ If you don't think he's been living his gregarious life thinking about his stupidly introverted friend, you'd be dumb. Of course Kirishima's been thinking about cool things he and Bakugou could do besides simply beating each other's asses in training (which was always a reliable and beloved option, to be fair). ]

But right now, let's go in. I like the green around here! Man, I'm so stoked for spring! I hope it's gonna be as good as winter was fucked up when I got here.
