He couldn't believe this. She was neck in neck with him, in fucking rock climbing. This was supposed to be his thing and here she was being able to keep up with him.
"This your first time rock climbing?"
"This is my first time climbing on natural cliff. I ascending various rock walls for training purposes."
"What do you think about climbing a real cliff?"
"It's a lot more difficult without easy to spot grips but I think I got a good bearing on it…"
"Yeah, you're pretty damn good."
"Wow, praise from the self proclaimed "cliff master" himself. I feel honoured."
"What do you mean "self proclaimed"?"
Yaoyorozu chuckled before rapidly climbing up to the summit of the rocky cliff. She wasn't going to let her boyfriend beat her at this. She knew that if she just tied him than that would destroy his ego and it was always fun to mess with him. The thing is that while her boyfriend had quite the ego, he wasn't all talk. He backed up every braggadocious boast that came out of his mouth and if you really looked at his feats you would think that he downplays his skills when he brags.
They both reached the top at the same time. She was panting hard, not since her quirk training at the training camp had Yaoyorozu felt so utterly exhausted. She looked over at her boyfriend and he seemed to be taking the workout they just went through better than she did. He was sweating yes, but she looked like she was dying while he looked like he just finished a brisk run.
The truth as that bakugou was just as exhausted but he made a point to not show it. Showing any weakness wasn't his style. He briefly wondered if there would come a time when Bakugou could trust himself enough to show Yaoyorozu his true feelings but he shook off those thoughts. He shouldn't get his hopes up now, they've been on two dates and while he had enjoyed them he didn't what the future would bring. Still, deep down he hoped that maybe this could last.
"You did pretty good out there Ponytail."
"Thanks...but I don't think...I'm as used to this as you are" she could barely speak between huffs of breath.
Bakugou tossed her a bottle of water "Here, drink this. I know you can't live without tea but this should do."
Yaoyorozu gave him a sarcastic laugh before scarfing down the drink with much less dignity than she should have. Bakugou took the time to laugh at her undignified actions before picking his bag up. "Come on princess, we still have to walk down to the base. We just finished the hard part."
"I really enjoyed my time with you today." she said almost demurely. The blonde still hasn't gotten used to seeing Yaoyorozu not be a strong leader and he had to fight the urge to smile warmly everytime she talked to him.
"Yeah, I thought it was pretty cool too…"
Iida volunteered to clean up the classroom after class over constantly. After the second time he had done so, Aizawa confronted him about it.
"You know you're not getting any extra credit for this, right?"
"Oh, I'm well aware. This is my duty as the class President."
Aizawa made a face that looked like someone just kicked his cat and left the classroom after talking to his student.
After that conversation, the speedster was able to work peacefully while everyone else was out and about.
Today was different. He was confronted by a certain hotheaded young man after class.
"Alright, we're even."
Iida's face scrunched up in confusion as he was arranging a stack of papers "I'm sorry, what?"
"We're even. You don't owe me anymore. Thanks for setting me up Ponytail in a fucking weird roundabout way."
Iida sighed wistfully "Do you really think I did that because I felt like you "owed" you?"
"Uh...yeah?"
"That's a shame then. I help you ask her out because Yaoyorozu is a good friend of mine and I felt like you were good enough for her. I also would like to think you and I are friends as well. After all, isn't that the reason why you helped me court Camie? If you didn't trust me than you wouldn't have assisted me in getting close to her."
Bakugou thought for a long time. He had thought that he helped Camie find a boyfriend because she kept annoying him with her complaints of still being single. But if really just wanted her to shut up than he could have set her up with any guy who was interested in an attractive woman. But he didn't want any perverted freak like that grape bitch around her so he actually was quite captious with who he helped appeal to her.
He choose Four eyes because he knew that despite his annoying tendencies, the guy was a good person above all else. Fuck, he actually cared about those two.
"Yeah...I guess you're right. We are friends…"
"That's good to hear. So, have planned another outing together yet?"
"Nah, I actually don't know what to do next Saturday."
"Might I suggest a double date with Camie and I? She's been adamant about meeting the girlfriend of her "BakuBro" and I think it would be fun as well."
Bakugou lamenting about telling her about his dating life but the more he thought about, the more he was keen on that idea. He didn't want to tell everyone about their relationship and he trusted those two to not gossip to everyone. The fact that he actually trusted Camie with that info actually frightened him. Besides, Yaoyorozu kept bugging him with questions about Iida's girlfriend and it would be hilarious to see her reaction to Camie.
"That actually sounds like a good idea."
