Chapter 27

She woke up and couldn't help the pending groan. "Oh Shit, I fucked up."

"It's about time you're awake." Rin turned her head to see Bakugou playing CandyCrush on his phone. She started to look around for hers which he must have guess because he handed it to her.

Before letting go of the corner his devious smile was on display. "Send me your Ground Zero photos."

"Need some new material for your spank bank?"

"Yeah. You could say that. If we're not going to have sex then I'd like something to fucking get off to." He was trying to be playful but Rin felt it wasn't coming off right.

"I'll let you have them. But only if you promise me that we do have sex." Rin noticed the sceptical look on Bakugou's face, "Just sex. No strings attached."

He handed her the phone, "You want to be friends with benefits?"

"Yes. I believe friends can have sex without dating." She thought of Izuku, "Well, I think that some people can."

"Are you referring to Izuku?" He took the phone back and started to find the photos.

She heavy signed "Yeah, He basically said that he wants to do stuff with me but doesn't want to mess up our friendship. But personally his worrying about it is messing it up."

Rin observed Bakugou as he silently sent the photos to himself and how he added his name under to her phone as 'King Explosion Murderer'. "It's hard to navigate your phone since it's all in English."

"I know. That's why I don't bother with a passcode too." She took her phone back and looked into his eyes, "You never answered me about Izuku."

Katsuki sat up abruptly, "Fucking Nerd! That's just how he is. Send him a nude or some shit and maybe he will drop it. Just don't go fucking him."

Rin got off of the bed and went to the dresser.

"I thought you guys were best friends. But apparently it's much more complicated than that."

Bakugou started to put his pants on and grumble to himself, "Yeah. It's a work in progress." He turned to see her taking her shirt off and putting on another, "You don't have shame do you?"

The woman snickered while putting on a pair of sweats and a long sleeve.

"Why should I feel embarrassed and shameful showing my body to a man who just went down on it." This earned her a blush across Bakugou's face.

"I'm going to take my leave. I had no intentions on being here this damn long." He started to make way for the door.

Rin skidded to grab him arm, "Hey, I really do appreciate you being there for me last night. You're a great friend."

His face was blank and she had a hard time trying to read what he was thinking. "We're just neighbors."

Meanwhile Midoriya stepped out of the elevator and made his way down the hall to his destination. Halfway there he watched Rin's door open and close. Kacchan stood there shirtless and although they made eye contact they continued to walk on there ways.

"Walk of shame." Ikuzu couldn't keep the pity comment to himself.

"The fuck did you just say?" Bakugou turned.

Looking into his eyes with a straight face, "Enjoying your walk of shame?"

Katsuki realized that he was going to have to visit her anger management counselor that day. He had to inhale and as he did he felt his hands tremble wanted to blow something up.

"Nothing happened last night. I stayed the night while Rin puked her fucking brains out." Bakugou clenched his teeth as he thought of going down on her. He could withhold that information for now. "I got some on my shirt."

Midoriya suddenly felt guilty for accusing his friend for doing something bad. "Sorry. Can't blame me though. You were making out the last time I saw you."

"Yeah. And the last time I saw you you were also bringing someone home." Izuku felt his friend eye him inadvertently asking for an explanation.

"Nothing happened. I felt guilty and ended up sending her home."

His friend snorted, "Of course. If you don't start thinking of which brain you need to listen to you're going to lose that friendship in there." Midoriya watch as his childhood friend pointed to Rin's door.

"I know. I don't know what to do."

They stood there in silence.

"Pictures."

"What?" Izuku looked up at his friend.

"If you ask nicely and if it will help your friendship ask for pictures and do what you do."

Midoriya still looked confused. "Do I need to fucking spell it out for you? Try and sext the girl and masturbate. You wouldn't actually be fucking her."

'That's what I'm here for.'

Izuku's face grew beet red. "I-I don't know about that."

"Whatever. I was trying to fucking help." With that Kacchan when into his apartment leaving Midoriya alone.

Now that he was here he felt uncomfortable. He had dramatic intentions to barge in and yell at his friend. Just like she had when she found out about him being a hero.

After the conversation with his childhood friend though he felt that it would have been uncalled for. It was also a good excuse for him to back out. Although the dramatic scene played in his head he honestly knew he couldn't do it.

His phone buzzed.

Rin - I'm hungover and want coffee and donuts with my best friend.

That's all it took for Midoriya to get the courage to knock on the door. When she opened the door the strangest thing happened. He suddenly was extremely gleeful to see her smile. He didn't care about last night and he didn't care about anything else but to be with his friend.

"I'm sorry I've been a bad friend. We've had an intriguing start to our friendship. I don't want to ruin it. Instead let's see where it goes." He watched her smile change into something different. It was still a smile but it held her own personal unique touch to it.

Rin opened the door wider to her apartment to let her friend in. She watched him walk to the bed, sit down and giving her his full attention.

"I'm going to assume that your night went really well then." She sat next to him.

Izuku looked around the apartment getting ready for the embarrassing tale. He ignored how his eyes zero'd in on a pair of male shoes scattered across the floor. He also ignored that Kacchan's black shirt was at the foot of the bed.

"Weelllll, I actually sent her home."

"You did? Oh my gosh. That's too embarrassing."

"I know. I tried to make it work but couldn't get into it." He trailed off.

"If it makes you feel better nothing happened here either. I ended up puking my guts out." Midoriya took notice in the blush the spread across her face.

"If you didn't get sick would you have slept with him."

She watched Izuku's serious eyes. Better than the jealous or angry ones she's gotten with the topic before. The look told her no games.

"Yes I would have. You just said that you wanted to make our friendship work. Ughhh." She tried to end it playfully.

Midoriya sat and thought for a moment, "I do want to make it work. If you do have sex with Bakugou I don't want to know. And honestly I'll get mad if I find out." He smirked for a moment. Just a moment.

"Hey, finish that thought." Rin nudged him.

"I was just thinking that if I ever found out you slept with him you'd have to make it up to me. Level the playing field." He smirked up at her.

"Izuku! You know you only ever just need to ask." She snickered.

"It's really that easy?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "The fact that you're my friend makes it easier. Just say the word and I'll be there to help." She winked at him.

"Good to know. Especially since I really want to keep what we have. Also, you did say Coffee and Donuts with your best friend right?"

Rin had really enjoyed her morning and into the afternoon with Izuku. They sat and talked at the shop for three hours before he had to leave for hero work.

"Oh yeah. That's your job now." She hadn't been able to hide the dropped smile.

"We're still going to see each other. I promise. Curry tonight?"

"You know it's my favorite." And with that he ran out to do his hero work.

To go home to an empty house wasn't on her things to do. Instead she ordered another drink and thought about the past 24 hours.

She'd got to officially meet Bakugou and their 'Where's Waldo?' Game is over. It made the appeal of Ground Zero less appealing.

The not knowing, teasing and flirtatious banter is what attracted her to him. The maybe what if's of him being Bakugou was sexy. But now that she knew it was him it was not the same.

What stood out to her the most during the night wasn't the feeling of his hands caressing her body but perhaps when he held her hair back while she was sick.

Then she went and offered to be friends with benefits. She'd only had 2 other friends with benefits and she felt like every dynamic would be different. With this case she didn't want to jump the gun and would wait till he made the first move.

She couldn't help the irony in the situation. When Izuku has said that he didn't want her to sleep with Bakugou she had the childlike behavior to want to do it anyways. Now he said he didn't care and she was doubting her choice to want to.

Of course the development with Izuku had changed within the 24 hours too. At the charity event she had found out he was a hero. Figuring out that added something new to the dynamic they had.

It felt like when Tori got a boyfriend and stopped spending time with her. She had wished they'd just break up and when they did Rin felt guilty for wishing that. Now that Izuku was a hero she secretly wished that he'd quit and come back to the office.

At the bar they had barely spent one on one time together but she learned a lot about his relationship with Bakugou and some of the other guys.

When he had kissed the random woman she was a bit mad about the situation. She knew she didn't hold any ownership over Izuku to be mad. And she had just kissed Kirishima. Either way it had upset her that he would kiss her and held such a distance with herself. Rin had been too drunk to notice the rest of the night.

Izuku informed her about the embarrassing story of bringing the woman home. He didn't feel comfortable to do anything with her. She wasn't anyone her knew before the night and his brains thoughts were louder then his heads. Which he had said the woman had kindly tried to help him with.

To which Rin had to snort, "Tried?"

She found herself snorting again thinking back at the memory. Izuku informed her the embarrassing fact that it felt like it took a lot for him to finish the job.

When she saw his discomfort talking about it she comforted him by saying it was better than being a quick shooter.

And then he got the hero call.

Rin's thought were interrupted conveniently by her own phone ringing.

Mr. Yagi

She answered, "Yeah?"

"I know it's your day off but as the Agency translator we need you. From what I remember French was on your resume right?"

"Yes. Is everything okay?" Her first thoughts went to Izuku and looked at her phone. It had been an hour since he left. Did he get hurt?

"Yes. Everyone is safe. But we need you on field work at the prison for interrogations."

AN: Wanted to make things a bit more clear at the end of the chapter. Hope the character development is coming along well for you guess as much as I feel it is. Thank you for all the reviews it keeps me pumped.
