Chapter 3 Mcdonalds Part One
"Hey strange man, you wanna get some McDonalds?" Kaminari asked Cas, already knowing that most of the others would agree.
"McDonalds?" Cas frowned. "Is that a person? You eat people?"
"Oh no, don't tell me…" Sero began.
"Wait, have you NEVER HAD MCDONALDS?!" Kaminari screeched, grabbing Castiel's shoulders and shaking him back and forth violently. "YOU UNCULTURED SWINE!"
Cas shuffled out of the boy's grip and said, "I have never had McDonalds. I don't have to eat food. I don't do it often."
"Kami calm down-" Kirishima started, still leaning on Bakugou's shoulder. Bakugou by this point had given up, and was ignoring everyone, scrolling through his phone.
"NO KIRI, THIS IS NOT OKAY! I DON"T CARE IF HE EATS FOOD OR NOT, GET THIS MAN SOME MICKEY Ds!" He cried out, already grasping Castiel's arm and pulling his to the nearest McDonalds.
"I don't understand," Cas said, completely lost. "What is a McDonalds? And Mickey Dees?" He looked down at Kaminari's hand grasping his arm, not sure how to react.
"Oh, you'll love it. Whenever you do eat food, what do you eat? Just askin' for reference." He chirped.
"Red meat mostly. My vessel loves red meat."
"A burger it is!" Kaminari cheered, not at all affected by Castiel's strange choice of words.
"DELICIOUS NUGGIES AND FRIES HERE WE COME!" Mina shouted, running up to catch up with her yellow- haired friend, the others trailing closely behind.
"HEY WAIT, I NEVER AGREED TO THIS!" Bakugou screeched as he was pulled away by Kirishima.
"So like, you don't eat?" Sero gasped, catching up with Kaminari's electric speeds.
Castiel shook his head. "Only a couple times, one when a demon, named Famine, made everyone around him hungry for something. My vessel loves red meat so I became hungry for that."
"Uhh, okayy..?" Sero responded, not expecting that as an answer.
"Hey angel dude, have you ever had chocolate milk?" Kaminari asked Cas as they paused at a crosswalk.
"I thought cows made milk, not chocolate milk." What have humans done to the poor cows? Cas wondered.
"Actually, I'm pretty sure Mina said that chocolate milk comes from brown cows, not just any cows!" Kaminari chimed as they continued down the road to the other sidewalk across from them.
Cas frowned and pondered on this thought. "Did humans change the genetics of cows? I've never heard of a chocolate milk making cow."
"I have no idea what that means, but okay!"
"And here I was thinking he couldn't get any stupider." Bakugou remarked, annoyance dripping from his voice, still being reluctantly dragged by Kirishima.
After crossing a few more sidewalks, and passing by lots of pedestrians, they stopped in front of a square building with a red roof and yellow walls. Bright lights shone through the large glass window panes which coated the walls, and promising smells wafted out of the building each time someone went in or out.
"Well, here it is!" Kaminari sighed, looking up at the colorful structure, his eyes shining in the semi- darkness.
"It looks like somewhere Dean would go," Castiel observed. "Dean loves this kind of food."
"Well then he has good taste!" Mina quipped joyfully, already imagining her overly detailed order in her head.
"C'moon, lets go inside already!" Kaminari urged, bouncing on the balls of his feet.
"Okay, okay!" Sero laughed and Kaminari led them inside. He snaked his way over to the end of the line and stood impatiently at the surprisingly large amount of people also waiting their turn.
"Ughh, this place is literally never busy-"
"'Cause it's trash." Bakugou deadpanned.
"Shush, small one."
Soon it was almost their turn, Kaminari craned his head around the couple standing in front of him for the fiftieth time and noticed something he hadn't initially seen. He wheeled back around towards his friends, yellow hair whipping in his face, grabbing the arm of the nearest person he saw, which happened to be Kirishima. He forcefully shook Kirishima's arm, a look of pure ecstasy engraved into his features.
"Woah, what- what?" Kirishima insisted, pulling his arm back and rubbing it. Kaminari simply pointed at their cashier and giggled like a maniac. Kirishima looked, confused.
"What is it- oh...oh no.."
The couple in front of them finally completed their order, waddling quickly to find a table. The group quickly replaced the place where they stood and Kirishima turned to the rest of the group and whispered something.
"Wait wha- ahh… I see." Sero said, looking in front of Kaminari.
Cas frowned in confusion. "What is going on?"
Mina chuckled menacingly. "Oh, you'll see." She said imposingly.
"Please don't do it!" Kirishima begged Kaminari, but Kaminari seemed deaf to his request.
"I swear, he does this every time," Sero face palmed, but amused.
Their tired cashier with purple hair began the usual. "Hello, welcome to McDonald's, how may I-" he began in a dry monotone voice, before he looked up. "Ah. It's you." He said, as if he had met these people before. Kaminari propped his elbow on the counter, shaking the hair out of his eyes in an attempt to look flattering, but he failed.
"Darn right it is." He said, blinking rapidly.
"I know you!" Kaminari began innocently, looking up at the cashier with wide eyes. "You're the man of my dreams!"
"Really? 'Cause this feels like a nightmare." The salty cashier replied with a straight face.
Kaminari's friends began to chortle, and Mina had gotten her phone out to record everything.
"This is another kid in our class," She said quietly to Cas. "His name is Shinsou."
Cas squinted. These children had odd senses of humor. Why are they giggling so much? "What is Kaminari doing?" Cas asked.
"Whatever it is he's trying to do, he's failing miserably." Bakugou face palmed.
"Where have you been all my life?" The hopeless romantic continued, unfazed by the latter's previous remarks.
"I've been living mine." He said without a moment's hesitation. Kaminari's stomach grumbled, asking him to hurry up with the food.
"Aye dunceface, you gonna order?" Bakugou shouted.
"Oh, right! Sorry.." He smiled meekly. "I'll hav-"
"Ah, save it. You come here so often I already know." Shinsou rolled his eyes and started to list Kaminari's usual order, Kaminari nodding along to his words.
"Yeah, then add a burger and a chocolate milk for our new friend." Kaminari said casually, pointing his thumb behind his shoulder at Cas. Cas squinted and inspected their… "friend". This place is so odd, he thought.
"Mkay," Kaminari began, facing the five others once more. "You all can find a table and I'll stay and wait for our food to be ready!" He said perkily, already going to stand near the little window where they call order numbers.
The rest of them were left to scour out a decent table that didn't have crumbs and dry soda all over the seats. They sent Sero to embark on such a journey, while the rest of them went to grab napkins, straws and sauces.
"Ooo, angel dude, have you ever seen a straw?" Kirishima asked Cas, showcasing a few of the paper-wrapped tubes in his hands.
Castiel stared at the contraption. "I believe I have," he said. "You use them to drink. But how would you drink out of them without openings?"
"That's cool," said Sero, who had already returned from looking for a table, having overheard their conversation. "But have you ever seen this?" He asked, plucking one of the straws from Kirishima, who was confused trying to figure out what Cas was referring to. Sero ripped the very end of the paper wrapping off of the straw, placing it to his lips. He aimed it at Kirishima then blew, causing the paper to go flying and hitting Kirishima right on the center of his forehead, knocking him out of his daze with a start.
Cas paused for a few seconds. He then grabbed a straw, ripped the top off, and blew the wrapping off at Kirishima as well. He looked at Sero and asked "Did I do it right?"
Kirishima gasped, looking at Cas and rubbing his head while Sero laughed wildly.
"Yes," The black-haired boy snickered. "You did it perfectly!"
"Hey, what the-" Kirishima spluttered. "Well, you know what, two can play at that game!" He said, pulling a straw out of his own hand.
Castiel squinted his blue eyes in confusion. "Isn't that the normal way to open a straw? Or is it a 'game'?"
"No my good sir," Sero said sagely. "That is exactly how you do it. Please continue, and someday you'll be as good as me." Sero said, suddenly whipping out three other straws he had stolen from Kirishima while he was distracted, the ends of the paper already ripped off. He blew them all at the same time, causing three paper strips to pelt his red-head friend at the same time. He then turned on his heel, casually shimmying over to the table he had claimed, leaving Kirishima to try and regain his balance with a very confused Cas at his side.
Once Kirishima had found his footing, and swore he would get his revenge, he collected all of the napkins and now-unwrapped straws, ever so kindly leaving the wrappers littered on the sticky floors. His eye scanned the small restaurant before they found the table where his friends were already gathered. He signaled for Castiel to follow as he approached the table. Cas stood at the edge of the table, not sure what he was supposed to do. Sero looked at him, then the table.
"Have you never seen a chair before?" He asked incredulously.
"Of course I've seen a chair," Cas said. "I'm just not sure what chair I should sit in."
"Oh, well-" Sero began before being interrupted by Kaminari loudly slamming two paper bags on the table. He pulled out the chair that sat at the end of the table, no others around it.
"Please, take a seat,'' he said, gesturing to the metal structure with his hand. "Today is a very important day. I can't believe that you never eaten Mcdonalds!" He said, muttering the end of his sentence to himself in shock.
Just as Castiel was about to sit, his phone rang. "Excuse me for a second," he said. He looked to see who it was.
"How dare they interrupt such a fine ceremony!" Kaminari exclaimed, but let him answer the phone nonetheless.
"Sam?"
