Mina and the 3-A girls are positvely shook.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" Mina yells, waving her arms to put a stop to the conversation. The rest of the class 3-A girls giggle like crazy, equally shocked at the news.

"Sato, you're telling me, Bakugou, grumpy-pants, explodo-boy, made Uraraka - our sweet, floaty-bunny Uraraka….a cake?"

"Yep."

"For her birthday?"

"Yep."

Mina shivers with excitement, already dreaming of what it all means.

The elevator dings behind them and the woman in question walks into the kitchen.

"Uraraka! When were you gonna tell me Bakugou made you a cake!? No calls, no texts, nothing in the group chat!? What gives? This is huge!"

"Oh! I don't know...I guess I was trying not to make a big deal. I was sick, so he kept me company." Uraraka smiles. "He made me soup, we ate the cake; which was delicious by the way - it was Strawberry Shortcake! Ugh! Mina, I would die for that cake!" her eyes roll back and Mina thinks that look has to be about more than a cake.

"Anywho, then we played games, and just talked all day. It was a great birthday." Uraraka says with a happy sigh.

Oh.

My.

God.

"WHAT?!" Mina screeches, not believing her ears. "Are you kidding me? Uraraka! You and Bakugou?! That's...that's…that's..."

"None of your fucking business, Pinky." Bakugou interrupts as he enters the kitchen from the elevators.

"You ready, Cheeks?" Bakugou says, eyes raking over Uraraka appreciatively.

"Absolutely!" she hops over to him, linking her arm in his.

Mina thinks she's on the verge of an aneurysm. This can't be real.

The girls share a collective look of intrigue.

"Wait, you got something right here," he says, gesturing vaguely at her head.

Uraraka starts feeling around on her face, but Mina doesn't see a damn thing. Her friend looks pristine.

"Oh! I checked in the mirror before I walked out, where at -"

To the amazement of all, Bakugou slowly leans down while Uraraka obliviously searches for the non-existent face marking. He captures her mouth with his, kissing repeatedly, possessively, like he needs to make sure they're all aware of what this is. He nuzzles his way up Uraraka's jaw to leave a peck, then nuzzles back to linger gently on her lips.

And they part.

Uraraka is a million times dazed, and Mina's heart flutters furiously by proxy.

It's positively, the most, romantic display Mina never thought she would witness from Bakugou, let alone Uraraka.

She's grinning like mad while Bakugou waits for Uraraka to snap out of it.

He's ignoring all of them when his face slips into a smile. An actual smile! And it's the most devilish grin in existence!

He knows exactly what he's doing, Mina thinks with a bit of pride in her friends.

Uraraka gives a little shiver, shaking it off, then steals Bakugou's hand. "Stop that. Somewhere out there is curry with our names on it!" she admonishes playfully, pulling him along. "Let's go!"

Bakugou follows, happily.

"Sato, I'll be ready for cupcakes when I get back! See you tonight everyone! " Uraraka shouts without looking back, seemingly uncaring that they are leaving everyone stunned.

They're barely out the door when Jirou breaks the silence. Letting loose an incredulous, "Holy shit," to mark the occasion.

"I know right?!" Mina responds, already impatient to hear all the details as they all start to speculate how it all came to be.

"Eh," Sato interrupts, "that's all old news. Wait till you hear him tell her something romantic." Sato shivers, momentarily caught up in a memory.

"It's weird." He adds, before he waves goodbye and walks toward the elevators. "Anywho, see you girls tonight."

The end.

I hope you liked it. XD I really struggled with this prompt, and I thought my person was going to hate it. Because I think everyone expects a one-shot and I wrote 18k XD. Even though I know lots of people write Hanahaki AU, I really tried to breathe something into it. Thank you to Karmahope, Oreoday and Bran for all their help - encouraging and bouncing ideas. And to the Camp Kacchako server. I love them! You should join us!
