I wouldn't worry about that. You're part of the surprise. Let me put a little ribbon on those spikes of yours.
But really, I didn't say it would be just me, but I didn't say you'd be there, either. I said I had plans for him. It's vague enough he should expect more than just some solo date, since he knows me well.
[Someone's gonna have to do something about Esikko's damn self-worth, but only one person's able to actually make a chance... and it's no one outside Esikko.]
( ...But Bakugo helps more than he realizes, even without trying.
Something about this message, for example, is so charming that it's embarrassing... And Esikko doesn't know why. He feels encouraged, maybe inspired, but it's so vulnerable that he actually doesn't know how to reply.
Maybe he doesn't have to, though. It shows that he's read it, and he'll remember it. Sure, he'll hold on that tight. )

Date: 12/9/25 00:12 (UTC)Hmph. Good. Didn't think you'd fuck it up. I've got the ingredients for soba when we need them.
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 00:17 (UTC)Soba is like naengmyeon, right? It's going to be even more delicious made fresh. As long as you're in charge, anyway. You'll have to keep us in line.
( There's going to be buckwheat flour everywhere. )

Date: 12/9/25 00:21 (UTC)Aa. Noodles.
I'm not making the noodles from scratch! We'd never get it done in an evening!
[Those things take time to combine, press, cut, and dry! No, these will be packaged.] Text

Date: 12/9/25 00:31 (UTC)How should I know that? Well, as long as they're good quality, it's fine.
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 00:37 (UTC)Sides, he knows Esikko would start throwing flour, or Dabi would smack a white hand on someone, and a flour war would break out. Hmph.]
I'm not gonna serve you two shitty quality. You'll be drooling by the time it's served up.
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 01:03 (UTC)I'll be counting on you, then.
I can handle decorations.
( He doesn't know Christmas, but that's not the focus of it, anyway. Reds and golds and greens and whites, classy and pretty. He can manage that. )
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 03:23 (UTC)What decorations?
[*blink blink*]
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 03:26 (UTC)Nothing extravagant. Just, you know, some ribbons, some greenery.
( He's so rich boy, okay. )
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 03:47 (UTC)[He doesn't trust Esikko's "nothing extravagant" promise.]
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 03:54 (UTC)But it has to look good when I take a picture of us.

no subject
Date: 12/9/25 04:13 (UTC)[He'll let Esikko do some decorations.
Some.]
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 04:32 (UTC)Thanks.
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 05:02 (UTC)[Just a heads up. He'll do those in private for each person. Not someone else's business.]
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 05:05 (UTC)Oh, you mean like giving each other gifts there? That's embarrassing. There's no way I would in front of others.
( At least he agrees it's private!! And has no idea people do that in groups sometimes. )
But you're going to get me something on my own, right~?
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 05:16 (UTC)[He wanted to tell him ahead of time in case Esikko thought it was a tradition or something and ended up embarrassing himself a whole different way.]
Haa? You're not supposed to ask!
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 05:35 (UTC)Oh, really? Oops, forget I asked then~
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 05:45 (UTC)he's getting esikko a gift, shut up]DON'T JUST TELL ME TO FORGET IT!!
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 06:03 (UTC)Of course, before this place, I didn't give them, either. I quite enjoy it, now.
no subject
Date: 12/9/25 06:47 (UTC)no subject
Date: 12/9/25 06:58 (UTC)Maybe.
But I'll be holding on selfishly, anyway.
