“What happened next?”
Kaminari, Kirishima, Sero and Bakugou were currently gathered in the former’s bedroom, snacking on packets of Doritos and other junk food as they recounted stories from their work studies. Bakugou was acting like he wasn’t fully paying attention by idly scrolling through his social media feeds on his phone, but they all knew he was listening.
“Well, after that one of them ran off so Kaminari and I had to chase after them.” Sero said, inhaling a mouthful of food afterwards. “We ended up in a back alley and had the guy cornered.”
“Yeah, but then he saw that there was a way out.” Kaminari pointed out, clicking his fingers and pointing at Sero to punctuate his words.
“True. He climbed over the wire and almost escaped.”
“Uh oh.” Kirishima said, his eyes sparkling as he listened intently to the story. He was leant forward, elbows on the floor and face resting on his hands.
“Yeah! So then we had to climb over the bob wire!” Kaminari exclaimed, snickering as he remembered how Sero had gotten caught in it for a few seconds which had resulted in a large tear across the front of his hero suit. They’d ended up catching the guy a minute later, though, so it was worth it.
“Dude, did you just say bob wire?” Kirishima asked, the bright-eyed look replaced with one of confusion. Bakugou looked up from his phone, an unreadable expression on his face.
“Yeah, man. That spiky shit!”
Kirishima and Sero exchanged a dubious look, trying to tell if their blond friend was joking or if he was just that much of an idiot. Knowing Kaminari, it was the latter.
“You think it’s actually called bob wire? Like Robert wire?” Kirishima questioned, his breathing starting to become uneven as he erupted into laughter. “You think it’s called Robert wire?”
Kaminari tilted his head, looking between Kirishima and Sero, who was barely managing to contain his own laughter.
“Well, what the hell do you think it’s called?” He retaliated, crossing his arms as his lips puffed into a pout.
“It’s barb wire, you idiot!” Kirishima responded, almost wheezing now. “Like Barbara wire!”
“Oh my god,” Bakugou rolled his eyes, his face contorting into its usual irritated scowl. He slammed a hand down onto the ground, crushing an unopened bag of Doritos in the process. “It’s called barbed wire!”
Kirishima and Sero’s laughter ceased. Now all three of them look confused.
“Barbed wire! Because the wire has barbs! It is barbed!” Bakugou erupted, shoving his phone into his pocket and standing up.
“Ooooooh!”
All three of them had completely blank expressions, their mouths hanging open as they processed what he’d just said.
“Fucking Robert and Barbara wire,” Bakugou angrily mumbled as he swung open the door, a loud bang resounding across the entire floor as it hit the wall. “Fuck you guys!”
