Chapter 33

Bakugou Katsuki hated gathering. And this was just a small one before the big one tomorrow.

"How's Jiro? She hasn't been doing hero work the past month and she doesn't go dancing with me anymore." Mina whined to Kaminari.

Bakugou analyzed the situation a bit. He wasn't sure what it was Jiro and Kaminari were hiding and he didn't really care. Though he had also noticed the woman's absence.

"She just hasn't been feeling too well. I think the house hunting has been stressing her out. She's very specific in what she wants. I could do the apartment life honestly."

"So out of everyone at the reunion tomorrow only 3 of us have found a significant other. I'm gotta get myself man candy one day." Mina rested her feet on the coffee table. Which was only okay when Bakugou did it.

Seeing the action he walked over to the table and shoved her feet off and put a drink down.

"Get your feet off the fucking table. Here is a drink." He smiled through his teeth.

Kirishima snickered at the scene. "Your therapist needs a raise."

Katsuki sat on in the chair the furthest away from everyone. "Yeah, Izuku was just saying the same shirt earlier. And I'm not in therapy. He ain't even certified."

"Whatever you say Man. I think it's manly of you to own up to your problems." Eijiro noticed Bakugou's eye twitch at that, "It made a huge impact on the polls too. The top 30 is huge. You should do some more fan service though. Social Media or stay for the cameras more now that your act is coming together better."

Huffing at his friend, "I don't give a shit if people like me like that."

"No. But it's a common factor in all of the Top 10's lives. Even if they don't post it themselves they have an assistant or someone do it. The only other thing they have in common it that the Top 5 all have their own Hero Agency. Unless you plan to go to University and do that." Kaminari was smart. Not book smart but he was smart.

Katsuki watched his friend down his shot of sake. Something about what he had said made a light go off in his head. Tomorrow when he sees All Might he could discuss it with him.

"Enough serious talk let's pre-party before tomorrow's reunion. Because you're all my best friends." The already tipsy Mina wrapped her arm around Eijiro's shoulders and drank the rest of her drink.

"Agreed." Kaminari flicks his finger and the music gets louder.

When the elevator doors opened she was surprised to hear the loud music coming from her neighbors door.

He wasn't much of a people person even if the friends he had were. Then again I guess that explained the music.

The music was a bit louder when she made it into her apartment. She changed into pajamas and brought her take-out curry with her as she sit criss cross on her bed couch. Bored and alone she really couldn't help but tune in on the music that played against her wall.

Thinking back into the week the relationship with her neighbor had changed drastic. Could they become friends or would the fact that they slept together affect that? She hoped that it wouldn't. Bakugou and Izuku were close friends and she wouldn't want to be a part of ruining that.

The type of music wasn't consistent. At least the vibrations to the music kept changing. The band and vocals were muffled by the walls. Rin didn't want to admit that she had been curious about the apparent party next door but the curious cat was on the prowl.

She made her way to her balcony and tried to open it as quietly as she could. The rubber squeaking sounded a lot louder to Rin's ears then it really way. Tip toeing onto the cement she made her way into the cool breeze.

When she made it to the edge of her railing she tried to peek through his sliding doors but couldn't get a good view. Making the daring move she swung her legs over the rail and slide onto Bakugou's territory. The music was a lot clearer now that she was this close.

She knew the song. It was in English which wasn't uncommon in Japan. The music/idol industry worked different here. Just hearing the words and the beat to the song made her want to sing along. The song was nearing its end. Rin put her back against the wall and felt like a spy as she flattened and shimmed to the doors.

The song changed and although it was a different genre if had the same 'live young' theme.

Now the edge of the glass door touched her finger tips and she made the decision to peak into the room. She immediately recognized Kirishima and Denki. There was a pink woman, clearly drunk, holding a bottle of something.

"THIS one will be my last one." The pink woman announced loudly to the room.

"You said that three drinks ago." Kirishima told her. Rin hardly heard his voice but it was mostly due to reading lips that got her to understand what he was saying. While she was reading his lips she noticed that he must have had also been drinking. His face was flushed the 'Asian Red' that she had always heard about.

Rin noticed that she couldn't see Bakugou and that he must be in a different room. Which was confirmed when she watched him exit the bathroom and enter the main space. His face was also a bit flushed. Drinks were going all around apparently.

"We should play a game." The pink girl announced.

"I'm down. Plus I don't think I'll be letting lose again much after Jiro and I get our house." Denki announced.

'Denki had a woman?'

"What did you have in mind?" Kirishima.

"Hmm, How about Truth or Dare?" Pink.

"We're adults. That's a high school students game." Bakugou.

"To be fair that wasn't that long ago." Denki.

"Yeah. Come on. We will keep in PG13." Pink.

"We haven't played it since high school. Seems fitting for a high school reunion." Kirishima.

Rin put it together. They all did go to high school together. Perhaps the pink woman did too. If they were all meeting shouldn't there be more people and Izuku.

"Okay. Okay. Kaminari, Truth or Dare." The only woman in the room turned to the blonde.

"Hmmm, Truth."

"Are you planning to marry Jiro?" She popped a question.

Rin had a hard time see in through the window but did hear him faintly say that he would in the future.

"Truth or Dare?" She leaned in more than she comfortably should have. She saw the Bakugou was asked.

"Dare."

"I dare you to call the last person you had sex with and tell them they smell beautiful."

The words admediatly made Rin's face heat up and then nerves strike her heart. It's been a week since they had sex but was she still the last person he did it with? If she was the last person she needed to make sure to get out of the area.

Opting to completely forget the spy style layout of my body and just get off of the balcony as fast I could.

'Oh Shit. Oh Shit.' The only thing she could think of as she started to stumble over her feet. The phone in Bakugou's apartment started to ring. Just a few seconds following hers started to ring as she started to raise her leg over the railing.

"Was that coming from outside?" A voice. There was no time to figure out who. Rin wasn't about to be caught as a peeping tom.

Her phones vibrations continued strongly in her pocket. With her leg bent over the rail it resulted in the worse way. Rin watched as her phones ringing got quieter and soon fell silent as it hit the pavement 7 floors below.

"Fuck." She whispered to herself as she sat half over the rail looking down at what just happened.

"Maybe that's karma for spying." Rin's head whipped over to see Kirishima and Bakugou standing on the balcony.

Bakugou want to say something snarky about her peeping but couldn't because he had done that same almost 2 months ago.

"Hey long time no see. Do you wanna join us?" Eijiro always the toothy smile.

Still frozen in shock Rin started to stumble over her words. Trying to deny being outside and not wanting to ruin the party. She stumbled over her excuses.

It was clear to Bakugou what had happened and it was painful to watch the woman trip over her words while straddling between the two balconies.

"Just get your ass in here." He striked.

Rin noticed that he didn't ask as much as he demanded. Her current position had her feel that it wasn't the time to fight it. She opted to just nod her head in agreement. Kirishima was the first to move as he shifted over to her and gave her a hand as she worked her legs the one side.

"Thank You." It came out as a whisper because she was still embarrassed about the situation.

When the guys guided her into the apartment she was greeted with Denki.

"Ahh. It's you. Last time I saw you you were half way down Bakugou's throat."

Katsuki clopped down on Denki's shoulder and a painful vibration sprung through his body.

"Nothing happened Pikachu. Rin ended up puking her guts out." Not a lie. "And before you assume shit she was answering a call from that damn Deku."

Everyone watched as Bakugou had his mini outburst. Rin was pretty sure that beside herself Kirishima was the only other person that knew the truth. During her times with Bakugou she had realized that they were really close.

"It was Izuku confirming coffee on Sunday. That's all." Rin needed to at least confirm the lie, "Who would I have been on the phone with?" She thought to add some structure to the story.

"He thought that you an Bakugou were fucking." The pink girl laughed. Although Rin could appreciate the bluntness she wasn't sure how to respond. Though the best option was her usually teasing manner.

"Me and Bakugou? I'm not sure he could handle me." The smirk plastered on her face. It was kind of like her and her neighbor would always have this inside joke.

The comment got the other woman to laugh, "I like you. You can call me Mina. We're just having our own little class reunion before tomorrow's big one."

"Oh, You're having a class reunion?" She sat on the armchair while both the boys also took their seats. Rin had never been inside Bakugou's apartment and never knew what to expect. It was very well kept except for the beer bottle and glasses on the table currently.

The living room had a couch and 2 armchairs and a facing each other in a U-like formation. Very similar to Izuku's apartment set up. But he also noticed that there was a computer desk with a small bookshelf next to it filled with books.

They weren't novels but appeared to be more non-fiction textbooks. There were a few mangas in between and with a bit more focus she saw that it was in Alphabetical order. The best that he could do with the mixed title names in both Romaji and English.

"Yep. Didn't Izuku invite you. I know that some of the other people invited other heroes and friends. I think Tenya is bringing his girlfriend. But then again Asui might mistake your relationship and it would only bring more tension." Denki started to open another bottle of beer.

"No one in the class should have dated back in high school. It only starts drama." Mina turned her attention to Denki, "Besides you and Jiro. Ya'll are perfect. Deku and Froppy are not."

Katsuki watched as Rin fidgeted in the chair. Kaminari needed to learn to shut his mouth but how was he supposed to know that shit was going down with Rin and Izuku.

"Izuku didn't invite me. Probably so his ex wouldn't assume anything. Not that it would have mattered if I went with him. We're only friends." She reached for the bottle of Sake and instead of pouring a glass for herself she drank from the bottle.

Choosing trashy versus classy. Even though the dry burn of the liquid helped with the whirlpool of Izuku thoughts it posed a new issue. People picked up on the action.

Before any more questions could be asked Katsuki thought to help his ex-fucketeer. "That's why I invited her and she'll be coming with us."

Kirishima Eijiro knew there was a reason he was best friends with the Bakugou. It was because even though he could be a real explosive asshole and not give a shit; he was still a good person. He'd do anything for someone he was close to. Whatever had gone down with Rin and Bakugou had been a building stone for their friendship.

To help with the charade Eijiro added in, "That's an awesome idea Bro. We did work with Rin at the charity event and coming as OUR friend would raise no issues."

"Still sucks that it has to be that way." Mina chimed in.

Not being able to let it go Rin finally asked because apparently Izuku wasn't going to tell her. "So, What exactly happened between them?"
