Deku felt he had a new and powerful confidence. His days of being single were now officially over.
He was gonna ask out Kuri, Reiko's sister! And nothing was stopping him, not even—KACCHAN?
"Get outta the way stupid nerd," Bakugo growled. "I got business with Kuri."
"Not anymore you don't." Deku curled his fingers into a fist and punched Bakugo out the window. "DELAWARE SMASH!"
Kuri stood, stunned, in the doorway.
"Cmon Kuri." Deku said, eyes daring her to refuse. "We're going out. You're mine now."
"W-What?" She stammered. "After that? You've got to be kidding."
Deku grabbed her wrist. "You're either my girlfriend, or your my enemy." He gestured to Bakugo. "You saw what happened to my enemy. And you…are nowhere near as tough as he is."
Kuri bit back a sharp retort. This was not her Deku. It was best to play along until she could undo the curse that hung onto him like a great, black, vice.
