Chapter Text
Bakugou has a secret
It's something hes been hiding for years.
Great Explosion Murder God dynamight plays Stardew Valley.
Not just that, but he plays it off a grimy old tablet he got when he was 11 because he can't dare to risk losing access to his saves which hes spent years building. He also just doesn't want to download it on his phone since he knows for a fact that half of his idiot friends steal it constantly.
(Shout-out to Mina and Denki)
One day, katsuki made the mistake of playing this game in the comfort of his own dorm. Big mistake.
You see, there's a skull sized hole in the wall separating bakugou and his best friend, kirishimas, room. It's a little lower than six feet from the ground, and is the result of the redhead trying to do a cartwheel in a furniture filled 12 ft by 12 ft room.
Its placed over bakugous headboard. Bakugou was playing stardew valley on his bed, sitting in a way where if someone on the other side decided to stick their head through the hole, they could perfectly see the screen.
"Hey Bakubro!"
He froze, slowly turning his head up to eventually make eye contact.
"My Mom plays that game someti-"
An explosion aimed straight for the hole in the wall knocks the redhead back into his own room.It didn't last long, because red spikes quickly poked back in again, but the blondes tablet has been turned off now.
"Get. OUT."
"Veronica, open the door please! Veronica open the door!"
Kirishimas quick to begin serenading his friend In the newest musical that Jirou taught him.
"BAKUBROOO" He starts belting another song.
"WITH YOUR GOLDEN HAIRRR"
"I swear to almight, please shut your mouth!" Bakugou yells at he desperately tries to use paper laying on his bedside table to force Eijirou out, all while he's still singing. Eventually the voice stops.
Silence. Bakugou reluctantly takes the paper away.
They stare at each other, bakugo crouched looking through the hole while standing on his bed.
"Can I play the game with you?"
The blonde takes a few seconds to think. As little as the gesture seems, it seems strangely intimate to him.
"Sure."
With that, bakugou walks out of his room and towards the communal class 1A kitchen. He needs a snack.
The Next Day
Kirishima is sitting down on one of the common room couches. It was a long school day, and there's a TV there he can watch. Hes scrolling through Netflix, trying to find something good for his, according to bakugou, 'Short attention span'
Speaking of the devil, bakugou walks in. Almost everyone's gone out shopping or visiting family on Friday, so its the first person to walking in a solid half hour.
Looking over at his friend, Kirishima notices something. Bakugous carrying that exact same tablet, cracked screen and all. I smile appears on the redheads face, and he waves at the ruby eyes boy a meter or so away from him.
"Come sit!" He says excitedly, that classic Eijirou charm visible. Bakugou does just that, pulling a soft blue blanket kept on top of the couch over him.
Kirishima didn't say anything if bakugou scooted q bit closer in this process.
After a few to many seconds of him looking at his friend, he turns to looking at the tablet. Right now, the owner is opening up the familiar app, and clicking on his most recent save. It loads after a little, and bakugou silently starts playing. Kirishima leans in closer, they're shoulders brushing gently. Bakugous eyes dart to the other, but soon go back to walking through the town in his precious game, talking to various NPCs.
"Which ones your favorite?" Kirishima asks, peaking over the blondes shoulder to look at the pixelated characters.
"Dunno. Probably Alex or something." Bakugou murmurs. "Mines the homeless guy!" Eijirou shares, maybe a little too loud, but bakugou is unfased. He continues playing the game, now watering crops.
A ding is heard from the redheads phone, currently discarded on the table next to the couch. He grabs it, reading the notification.
"You have one message from 'Class 1A Groupchat!"
Kirishima clicks on it, going to the groupchat.

Bakugou looks at kirishimas phone.
"What'd they send?"
He asks, a slight annoyance in his voice.
"I dont know. Im scared by minas reaction though!"
Eijirou jokes, clicking on the link. They both look at the screen, waiting for it to load.
"Uhh." kirishima says, looking at the post him and Katsuki at staring wide eyed at.
