Chapter Text
Bakugou tried so, so hard to ignore Dunce Face and Deku.
Thankfully, even if he saw that fucking hand kiss on the game center, they weren’t as lovey-dovey as Deku had been with Round Face.
Did they still hold hands? Unfortunately yes. Did they feed each as much as Round Face and Deku? Not really.
Of course, he didn’t expect it to be the same – he didn’t want to expect anything at that point – but it was still refreshing to see them shyer with each other. Gone was the confidence Deku seemed to had with Round Face, Dunce Face was the one who initiated most of the holding hands and such.
Other than not showing too much PDA though, they were a couple for sure. You could see it in their actions towards each other. Even the simplest things made sense when you knew the content of it. Such as Kaminari giving Deku a chicken from his own plate and Deku offering to study together with Kaminari.
Yes, him not knowing how in the hell this happened in this short span of days was frustrating, but he had to force himself to not think it too much for the sake of his sanity.
Maybe he failed at not noticing them through the three days they were together, but it was not the worst part.
The worst part was that nobody was talking about it. No one was questioning how in the hell Round Face and Deku broke up and how Deku was with the Pikachu the next fucking day.
Okay, so maybe everyone respected their lives or some shit like that, he could accept that. But after they attached themselves to Katsuki like some sort of bug that he couldn’t get rid of, he got to know them more or less. He knew for sure that his little friend group couldn’t shut their mouths up if someone, much more from their circle, got into a relationship. Everyone aside, at least Ashido wouldn’t shut up about it.
Now, everyone was turning a blind eye to it. It was fucking strange. No one even mentioned a thing when Dunce Face started to eat with Deku on lunch. The topic of Kaminari came now and then but it was never about the relationship. Even Pikachu himself didn’t bring it up the few times he decided to talk to them for a few minutes before returning to Deku. And no one teased him. There was no way they wouldn’t tease him over this. Something was definitely strange.
On Friday, even Katsuki couldn’t ignore the elephant in the room, which apparently only he felt, and decided to ask about it during lunchtime.
They were talking about unimportant things, as always, when he decided to put his plan to action.
“Hey. Why. Why the fuck Dunce Face is not eating here?”
He half expected them to finally break and laugh, then explain everything in this mess, but no such thing happened.
It was Kirishima who spoke up after some silence.
“Oh, he is eating with Midoriya.”
Katsuki hated asking but he had to get some answers to be able to function as a human.
“…Why.”
There was no way they couldn’t have known this fact, but because they didn’t even breathe the word of it, Katsuki was wondering if they even knew they were going out.
Sero put his arms behind his head and leaned back in his chair.
“Why, you ask. Obviously because he is gonna eat with his lover.”
This answered his question.
“…Why.”
“Why what?”
Even as Kirishima asked that, Katsuki sensed something in his tone that he couldn’t decipher.
The humiliation of asking the next question was too much; so he asked in the best way he knew.
He slammed his hands to the table.
“Why is he going out with fucking Deku?!”
Even while he was breathing heavily from the frustration he felt, Katsuki was glad to ask that damn question.
It was Ashido, who was uncharacteristically quiet this whole time, who answered.
“Why do you think two people will go out? Even you should know this, Bakugou. But I didn’t know you were this interested in Kaminari and Midoriya! I knew you cared!”
Ashido, unfortunately, dodged the sandwich Katsuki aimed at her dumb face.
He didn’t ask any more questions.
After the lunch, his pride wouldn’t allow Katsuki to ask more about this topic. After seeing them quite happy these past few days, he simply decided to accept this weird shit as reality and move on.
Until Saturday.
Until Ashido turned his already wobbly World upside down.
He had plans to train after eating during the weekend when he heard it.
“Midoriya-kuuun!~ Let’s go to our date already!”
**********************************************************
This was it. This was the last straw. Bakugou was gonna fucking lose it.
He was about to go do himself some spicy ramen for lunch, he didn’t wanna go through this again.
“A-Ah, Ashido-san! I’m just gonna grab my bag from my room then we’ll be good to go!”
Seeing Raccoon Eyes standing in the middle of their common room with a damn picnic bag on her arm was what made him come to the decision he wished he didn’t have to do but was also gonna be damned if he let this go on more than it had to be.
He was gonna go with them even if it was the last damn thing he did in his life.
He quickly abandoned his lunch plan – with some reluctance- and made his way to his room while texting a certain someone.
Shitty Hair definitely would’ve been the better option but Bakugou had a plan that wouldn’t work unless he had a specific someone with him.
He needed one of Deku’s ex-lovers. Round Face was too much trouble to be worth and she wasn’t in his shitty group of extras who wouldn’t leave him alone.
So Sparky was it.
“ You better be at the entrance in 3 minutes ready to go or you’ll be having a nice blasting to your stupid face next time I catch you.”
Sparky was there in 2.
He really, really didn’t want to do this.
But dammit if he was gonna chicken out. It was just shitty Deku and all the other extras, for fuck’s sake.
So after dragging a confused Kaminari alongside him while following Ashido and Deku who were holding hands while occasionally giggling, they arrived at a park not that far away from their dorms.
As fucking expected of stupid rom-coms, the best tree on the little hill was empty and of course they chose there.
Deku put his bag down and took out a picnic blanket to set up their disgusting little picnic date.
Only after they both finally settled down to eat and sat a little too close that Bakugou sprinted to action.
He dragged a confused and tired from being physically thrown around Kaminari with him and went into the lovers’ peripheral vision.
Ashido was the first to notice them stopped in the middle of pouring Deku a coke into the plastic cup he held.
After her pause Deku’s attention also turned towards Bakugou and Kaminari.
“Ah, Bakugou! And Kaminari! What are you guys doing here?!”
Her absurd loud voice made Deku flinch but after the shit he was putting him in Bakugou didn’t feel the littlest bit sorry for the fucker.
Bakugou let go of Dunce Face and simply crossed his arms and looked away. No way in hell he was gonna ask to join their stupid date. He would let Kaminari handle that.
“Ashidoo Bakugou is so cruel, can you believe he dragged me he- AH!”
After being punched in the side by Bakugou, Kaminari just held his side pitifully for a few seconds.
“Ah, Kaminari-kun, are you okay??”
A concerned Deku spoke up for the first time since Bakugou and Kaminari appeared.
“Damn it Bakugou, what the hell!! ”
After receiving Bakugou’s deathly glare along with him blasting a few explosions from his hands, Dunce Face finally shut his mouth up but continued to glare at Bakugou.
Bakugou did feel a little bad. But only a little, god damn it! It was Pikachu’s fault for not holding his damn tongue.
“ A~Ah. I have no idea what’s going on but whatever. This was supposed to be our date but... I guess you can just join us for now. Would that be okay with you Midoriya-kun?”
He seemed a little hesitant to accept it right away because maybe he was still a little shit and feared Bakugou or whatever. Bakugou didn’t give a shit. He didn’t, goddammit.
It was all because he didn’t get to eat today and had to deal with this stupid shit that his mood dropped. There was no other reason whatsoever.
But eventually Deku answered.
“Sure, I’m okay with it! Please join us.”
He even smiled. Shit. Shit. What’s that stupid smile? Shit.
Bakugou ignored how for some reason his heart decided to beat a little faster and just went to sit next to Raccoon Eyes because there was no way in hell he was sitting next to fucking Deku.
Sparky sat next to Deku and Bakugou finally remembered the whole reason he had to go through this stupid shit.
He began to observe the three next to him without being too obvious.
While Deku gave Sparky his coke they were so normal it was mind-boggling. Deku went through this before with Round Face but it was still so out of character for these extras to act like nothing happened in the past few days that it still shocked Bakugou.
They were talking just like before everything happened and like they weren’t lovers just yesterday. There was no tension, no hesitation, no averted eyes, nothing. Now mind you, Bakugou didn’t care about useless things like romance and all that, he was only focused on being the number one hero. But he knew this was just not normal. No people that broke up yesterday acted like this.
“Here, open up Midoriya~ I wanna feed you!”
Deku seemed a little embarrassed to do it next to Bakugou and Kaminari but he eventually opened his mouth for Ashido to feed him.
“Aww, I wish I had a girlfriend to feed me too~ You’re so lucky Midoriya.”
Deku blushed a little bit still smiled sheepishly.
“Forget it, forget it. You won’t find anyone as amazing as me or Midoriya. Look how cute he is while blushing, I could just eat him up!!”
With that, Ashido threw himself to Deku to hug him and nuzzled her face to his head.
Deku didn’t have any coke in his hand but Bakugou wished he had so both of them could be splashed with it because Bakugou was about to pour the whole bottle over their heads.
He had seen enough. He was going home to eat and then train so he could leave these losers and their pathetic lives behind his back quicker.
While Deku was flustered and was waving his hands around Bakugou got up.
“I’m going back to dorms.”
Three of them stopped in track and turned to him but he was already walking away.
“Ah, wait, Kacchan!!”
He was already out of the park.
**********************************************************
So, his experiment was successful. Pikachu did indeed act like they never had a thing and Raccoon Eyes even said you’ll never find anyone like Deku. Considering they broke up yesterday, that would’ve been a cruel thing to say to someone but Pikachu didn’t seem affected at all. Same with Deku. Something was wrong and Bakugou was sure this time it had nothing to do with them pranking him.
And not because he cared for them, but because of his peace of mind he was gonna get to the bottom of this. No matter what.
**********************************************************
Wednesday came around and Bakugou wasn’t even surprised to hear those cursed words from Yaoyorozu’s mouth.
“Midoriya-san, my driver is waiting for us at the gates. Shall we go on to our date?”
