Bakugo and Mina had continued their little study date, and the progress Mina had showed over these two weeks had been very noticeable. She was answering ancient Japanese history correctly, getting math done and showing her work, and even got a lot of science that stumped her earlier mostly right. She wasn't as well versed in their studies as Bakugo was, but the point she was at now was no doubt better than a good portion of their class.

As the two went on studying, a sudden and deep growl echoed from Bakugo's stomach.

"...When the fuck is dinner Ashido?" He asked in an irritated tone as his brow furrowed.

Mina groaned and crossed her arms, she was getting impatient with dinner as well if she was being honest. "My family is probably just waiting on my mom to get home before we eat, she really wanted to meet you too ya know? So, just be patient please Baku?"

Bakugo threw his head back lightly and let out a quick groan. "You know if I was the one doing the fucking cooking it'd be done by now AND i'd have a plate set aside for your mom! Who cares about waiting up on someone if you're starving?"

Mina pouted some and began to scoot closer to the blonde. She poked his side lightly and then asked in a pitiful voice that was clearly trying to get to him,"You'd wait for me though right Bakuuu~ if I really wanted to eat with you? Even if you were starving right?"

Bakugo lowered his head back down and locked onto her eyes; he had an annoyed look to his face at first, but then looked more awkward as he seemed to think it over.

He let out a sigh and returned to his normal facial expression of a cold glare, "Of course I'd wait for you if that's what you wanted from me, but that doesn't mean I still don't think all this waiting is annoying as hell!"

Mina shut her eyes as she smiled, letting out a soft giggle,"Hehe, I know I know, I wanna eat too but just don't think about it, kay? I dunno if there's anything else we can study anymore, but we can just talk if ya want! Bout anything!"

"Anything huh?" Bakugo reclined back some and crossed his arms, thinking over something to talk with Mina about.

"...Ashido, you know some of my bigger hobbies already, but you haven't really mentioned too many of yours. What the fuck do you like to do in your free time anyway besides dancing?"

"ppffffttt!" mina let out a quick unexpected laugh at how he asked that question. "Okay well, you know dancing is totally my main thing, but im also pretty into video games and retro movies too! Like, aaaa! I LOVE Aliens but you already knew that too, hehe~" Mina giggled lightly and smiled warmly as she gushed about her interests.

Bakugo nodded and kept a straight face, asking calmly, "So, you'd say dancing is still your main thing right? LIke me and rock climbing?"

"Totally!"

"Alright, i'll have to remember that." Bakugo then nervously let a small gulp escaped as a faint blush appeared over his cheeks, "Maybe, I can take you dancing sometime. After i figure out how to do it myself."

Mina then let out a quick excited little gasp and hugged onto him quickly, "Oh that'd be awesome! i'd LOVE it if we could go someplace and just have like, a whole night of just dancing together!"

Mina then quickly pulled out of the hug before Bakugo could try to awkwardly hug her back, a large smile still on her face. "Ya know Baku, you're getting better at this!"

Katsuki rose an eyebrow and in an annoyed tone spat out, "Better at what?"

"Better at doing nice little boyfriend stuff on the fly! It needs work but I think you're making real progress! it kinda got my heart racing a bit! Hehe, do it again!"

"Wha-I can't just do that shit on command! I was just asking some questions and thinking up plans for the fucking future!" Bakugo snapped as his face kept a light, barely visible shade of red to it.

Mina giggled some at his lost composure, and then quickly turned her head to her door as it came open. Awai stood there and just sort of stared at the two of them.

"What do you want Awai?" Mina asked in an annoyed tone, the kid had a bad habit of just disrespecting her personal space.

"Mom's home, stop being gross together and come eat." Mina let out a quick sigh then seemed to perk right up, getting up rather fast and grabbing Bakugo's hand in the process.

"Come on! I'm starved dude!" She pulled him up with her and was practically dragging him along behind her.

Bakugo scowled and struggled to get his footing right as she dashed out of her room,"At least me fucking walk Ashido!"

"Hmph." Mina pouted and let go of his hand, "Fine mister grumpy pants, excuse me for thinking you wanted to hold hands with your girlfriend."

Bakugo then rolled his eyes and aggressively grabbed her hand, leading the way down the stairs himself as they made their way for dinner,"I just don't wanna fucking trip while I'm being dragged around Ashido."

Mina then cheerily responded with,"Noted~" as they made their way to the table.

Mister Ashido had gone and prepared Bakugo's favorite dish like Mina promised her parents would, her mother, now finally home from work, sat at one end of the table with her husband at the other. She had a very light shade of pink skin, and a set of black eyes like her daughter, lacked any horns though, but she did have a similar fluffy hair like Mina, just more tamed.

"Hi mom!" mina happily ran over and hugged her, while she just returned a tired half hug to her daughter.

"Hello dear, I see you're happy as usual." She then released from their embrace and spotted Bakugo. "And, you're the boyfriend Bakugo right?"

"Bakugo just plopped down in the closest chair he could find and responded with an annoyed,"Yeah." Before looking at the food prepared for them. He noticed less peppers than he would add in, and not as much sauce as he would add himself either. He groaned under his breath and grabbed his bowl, "Ya got any more of the sauce you used for this?" He said in a rather abrupt manner to Mister Ashido.

Mina's father let out a quick sigh at how rude he continued to be and passed Bakugo the bottle, "It's hot now Bakugo, so be careful not to burn yourself."

"I'll be fine." he retorted back without hesitation before dousing his meal in the spicy sauce.

Mina then sat next to the boy, her brother sitting across from them. "Hey, uh Bakugo don't cha think it looks great? It was my dad's first time making it so I hope ya like it!"

Bakugo, simply shrugged.

"I haven't exactly had a bite yet, so I hope so too Ashido."

Misses Ashido then sighed,"You know, Bakugo...calling my daughter by our family name might be confusing with us all around."

Mina then perked up, she knew what she meant. "Oh! Right! Dude, we're totally dating so we should totes go by our first names now! What do ya think," She then purred out with glee in a teasing manner as she leaned over and cuddled the boy slightly, "Katsukiiiiii~"

Bakugo's face began to blush madly at her affection and casual use of his first name. "Fi-fine! If that's what you wanna do, then alright...Mina." It felt weird to him using someone's first name, he, honestly hadn't since he was in elementary school. It was something he'd have to get used to.

Mina giggled some and turned her attention to her food, enjoying the much more milder spice her dad's recipe had over the hell on earth bowl of noodle's misses bakugo had made. She enjoyed it a lot more frankly, she could actually eat this without going through over six glasses of water. "Hmmmm, this is so good dad!"

Mister Ashido smiled warmly at his daughter's enjoyment of his cooking, "Oh, thank you honey! Awai, Ochi, what do you think of it?"

Mina's mother finished her bite before speaking, a soft smile on her face, "You did very well dear. It's delicious."

Awai slurped up two more bites before plopping a third into his mouth and speaking with it full of the food, "Ish great dad!" He responded before getting back to eating.

Mister Ashido smiled warmly at all the praise is family had given him, before turning to Bakugo who had dumped more of the spicy sauce into his bowl and went about eating like he was starved for food as he angrily wolfed down his meal. "I take it you like it too Bakugo?"

Bakugo then quickly swallowed, grabbed a napkin and wiped his face clean before looking toward his girlfriend's father, telling him very bluntly, "It's good but I could have made it better."

Everyone at the table stopped momentarily. Mina nervously let out an awkward laugh and waved off what he said, "Katsuki just takes a lot of pride in his cooking skills! He's not TRYING to be rude, sorry!"

"Why are you apologizing for me?" Bakugo blurted out, "He asked what I thought and I gave my answer, i didn't say it was shit or anything i said it was good!"

Misses Ashido groaned and rubbed the temple of her head in a stressed manner, "It's, alright Bakugo but PLEASE watch your language around Awai, he's already forming some nasty habbits as it is. He doesn't need to hear more people using foul language around him."

Mister Ashido groaned in annoyance at Bakugo's continued rude behavior and went back to eating.

Katsuki sighed and then looked to Mina, before looking back to her mother, "Right, sorry about that. I'll...try to watch what say around the squirt."

Mina let out a soft sigh of relief, glad to see he was keeping to his word of at least trying to be nice and respectful toward her family. It, must have been hard for him since she had never seen him act respectful to anyone really. When she thought of it, she may have actually been one of the people he respected the most in all honesty.

The rest of the meal was rather tame, no arguments happened and it was mostly just small talk as one of the Ashido parents would occasionally ask a personal question for Bakugo. Like, why he wanted to be a hero, what he thought of UA and such.

As they all chatted casually best they could, Awai managed to finish his food before anyone. He remained at the table and looked Bakugo dead on and asked, "Why are you so angry?"

Bakugo quickly shot a gaze towards the kid, "Excuse me?"

"I said, why are you so angry? You were angry like the whole time at the sports festival when we watched it on TV."

Mina quickly interrupted before anyone could speak again, "He just takes a lot of things seriously! Like, he's just super determined, and-"

"Maybe i just don't have a high tolerance for annoying things. Like people not taking me seriously." Bakugo growled back to the child.

Awai then let out a "hm." while keeping a very straight face at the blonde. It was clear to katsuki now at this point that Mina's little brother didn't care if he got on people's nerves. No wonder he was getting into so many fights at school, and acting like this without a quirk yet to back himself up. The kid was stupid for sure, but at least he was gutsy.

Mina cleared her throat and gave Awai an annoyed look, "Awai! Please don't bug him okay? You always try to get on my friend's nerves, so please be a bit nicer? For me, kay?"

"Okay."

Mina let out a thankful breath of air, glad the two hot headed boys didn't start some sort of petty argument at the dinner table over Awai trying to poke at Katsuki's nerves. It was admittedly harder than she thought for Bakugo to keep himself calm. Mina believed if the two of them weren't going out he probably wouldn't have been trying as hard as he was to stay as polite as he was being. And by all means he was still coming off as rather rude, but it was far better than the alternative of how he'd probably act a month ago.

He was trying though, and Mina appreciated it.

Katsuki stood by Mina's doorway with his stuff all gathered up, ready to leave. "I, had a good time Ashi-...Mina." He told her awkwardly.

Mina nodded her head quickly, "Yeah totally! I think we're both gonna do awesome on our midterms! Thanks so much for all the tutoring, for real!" She smiled brightly, and Bakugo felt his stomach heat up and feel all fluttery again like she had made him do before.

"Yeah, welcome." He then cleared his throat and looked over to her parents, "Um, thank you for letting me come over and help Mina study, and for feeding me."

Misses Ashido let out a soft yawn and waved at the boy, "No problem Bakugo...you're free to come over anytime, as long as we're given a heads up from Mina first of course."

"I'm not gonna bring people home without telling you mom! I haven't done that since eighth grade!" mina then pouted at her mom's little reminder of how she'd constantly bring her middle school friends over after school without warning.

Mister Ashido then cleared his throat, "Well it's dark already so you should be going Bakugo. Don't want your parents to worry I bet."

Bakugo blew out some air and rolled his eyes, as if his parents would worry about him being out late. "Sure."

He then focused his attention onto Mina, reaching his arm out and awkwardly giving her a little half hug, "I'll, see you on Monday Mina." As he let go Mina quickly gave him a full embracing hug before placing a fast and soft smooch on his left cheek.

Bakugo's face quickly heated up as she surprised with that small little sign of affection in front of her family. She pulled away and had her own blush going on as well, as a unique purple covered her face. "So, yeah! See ya Monday Katsuki! Text me when you're home, okay?"

Bakugo cleared his throat and turned for the door to leave, "Yeah, as soon as i'm home I'll let you know. See ya." With that Bakugo left the Ashido household.

After he left, Mina turned toward her parents, a nervous smile on her face. "So, what do ya think about him?" She asked as she touched her index fingers together in a nervous habit.

Her mother let out a tired sigh and rubbed her forehead again in mild agitation, "He...seems dedicated at least. I can tell he cares for you, but his temper needs work. He never seemed as, horrible as he was at the sports festival. He came off like a rabid animal back then."

Mina nodded and then turned to her father, "And you dad? What did ya think?"

Mister Ashido groaned and stuffed his hands in his pockets as he looked away momentarily,"If I'm being honest...i wish you brought another boy or girl home as your first romance."

"Honey!" His wife spat at him.

"What? I'm telling her what I think!" He turned back toward Mina, who had a disappointed look in her eyes. "Sweetie, he just, he made a horrible first impression. I won't forbid you from seeing him or anything, but he has a lot of improvements he needs to make before I can say I approve."

Mina looked down to the floor, a bit saddened to hear that but not too surprised. "Okay, I'll, help him best I can. He's been listening to me so far, and he really was trying to be nicer than he's been in the past." She looked back up with an unsure face, "But I think ya know, with more time and me of us hanging out he'll only get better and better about this kinda stuff!"

"Okay sweetie, I'll take your word for it. I just hope he can make you happy." He replied before taking his hands out of his pockets.

Misses Ashido then smiled softly and rubbed her daughter's hair, "Also, i'm very happy to see how hard he's gotten you to study. I haven't seen you open a single book until you two started hanging out, so i think you're both having a good effect on each other."

Mina smiled brightly and then pumped a fist up before exclaiming, "Fuck yeah!" And then froze up.

Mister Ashido groaned and in a deadpanned tone told her, "Mina, you know i don't like-"

"Honey it just slipped, I'm sure she's just used to Bakugo saying it."

"Sorry! Sorry!" She clapped her hands together to show she was sorry and an embarassed blush formed over her face. Bakugo really was rubbing off on her like she rubbing off on him.
