Stolen Time

Kiribaku. 7-minutes in heaven drabble

'This was such a bad idea!' Bakugou chastised himself internally. What in the world had possessed him to say yes to playing this ridiculous game?! He groans, fuck he knew the answer and it was a secret he was trying to keep! But the whole class had agreed to play out of boredom, so it was harder to say no without being a total ass.

His buddies had still been shocked that he'd agreed to play, and worst of all was the look on Kirishima's face. Was it a mix of delight and horror all rolled into one? What the hell was up with that reaction?! Now Bakugou was panicking inside, but no way he was gonna show them he was sweating it.

As they gathered in a circle around the bottle, Bakugou wills himself to keep it cool.

"Okay you guys should know the rules, right?" Mina questions the group. "Each person spins the bottle, then whoever it points to, you two will go to the…" she looks around for an appropriate place, "hmm, I guess the Rec Room since no one's using it. All the lights are kept off while you're in there, and we'll count down the time. What you do in there is your business. Everyone got it?"

When everyone nods, Mina pulls out a small bag that held each of their names and randomly pulls one out. "Let's see who the first victim is," she grins as she unfurls the piece of paper. "And that person is Kirishima! Spin the bottle Kiri!"

The boy gulps and crawls over to the middle of the circle. Kirishima closes his eyes, 'please not…' he gives the bottle a hard spin before scrambling back to his place.

Some of the group leans forward in anticipation while others just continue in side-conversations. For Kirishima, the seconds felt like he was in some kind of trap just waiting to be squeezed to death. 'Please don't… Please don't…'

It was Bakugou who gasps first, and all eyes turn to him the moment it stopped with the bottle pointing in his direction.

'Dear god!' Kirishima groans. It was the one person he didn't want it to land on. He looks up to see a pissed off look on Bakugou's face. Kiri gulps. "L-Look Baku, man if you don't wanna do it…"

"Who said I didn't shitty hair!" Bakugou jumps to his feet. "I said I'll play this stupid game so let's just get this shit over with."

Kirishima scrambles to his feet, following after Bakugou who marched… yes, marched into the Rec room as if it were a battle waiting for them. Someone, possibly Kaminari snickered, "it was nice knowing ya Eijiro." Those bastards! But when he reached the room and closed the door, he wondered, was it the end?

"Well, turn off the lights!" Bakugou barks out the order and Kirishima quickly complies. Just great, it really was pitch black in here and he didn't really remember the layout. He hears and a thud and Kiri say oww, well at least he wasn't the first to look like the idiot.

"Just stay still a minute." Bakugou lights up a small flame in his hand and sees his buddy still close to the door. "Don't move." He walks over and when he's close enough without any more obstacles, puts out his fire.

Kirishima reaches out towards Bakugou, his hands glancing off his buddys chest. "S-sorry, didn't want ya to hit the wall."

"S'okay, Eijiro…"

"Did you just call me by first name?!"

"What?! No, I said Kiri."

"No, I clearly heard what you said Bakugou. Dude, you've been acting a little weird lately."

"I've not, I just got… things on my mind. You got a problem with that?!"

"No."

Someone outside yells they've got 4 more minutes.

"Baku we can just stand here and talk till the time runs out. Oh, that reminds me, I got the new BabyMetal album if you wanna listen. Their song Distortion is pretty good but I kinda like Starlight…"

"Could you shut up?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Sorry, guess you just wanted to relax my bad."

Thank goodness for the dark because if Kirushima could see his friend right now… Bakugou was fidgeting, turning red, and he was sure the AC was broken cause it was getting really warm in there.

"2 minutes!" Mina's voice rings through the wall.

"Look, I just… it's not that I wanna relax, okay, I'm just fucking nervous right now."

"Nervous?" Kirishima was confused. He didn't think he'd ever seen Bakugou nervous, not even at a fight. So, what about this was so bad? "Do you wanna talk about it?"

"I don't wanna fucking talk! I wanna…"

"Wanna what?" Kirishima finds Bakugou's shoulder and places his hand on it. "I'm your best bud, you can talk to me if something is bothering you. So, what is it?"

'I wanna jump out the window' "I can't say it."

"30 seconds!"

"That's fine man, whenever you need it." He squeezes Bakugou's shoulder.

"Time!"

"Come on," Kiri punches his friend's chest, "let's go."

"Wait," Bakugou grabs his friend's arm.

"But times up…"

"I-I'll show you."

"How, when we can't see… Omph!"

The door opens from the outside and quickly flies shut leaving the two men back in darkness. They were too wrapped up to pay attention. But Kaminari, the one who had the misfortune of checking on them is in shock. He braces his back against the door, his face all red.

"Well, where are they?" Mina calls out. "Did they run away?"

"They're kissing!"
