"You sure about this?" Izuku ask his best friend uncertain about their situation.

"Come on! It's about time that we do something new in our lives. And besides, you're the one saying we should take risks in our lives."

"Y'know, spice things up." The brunette nudge him lightly with a teasing smile.

"B-But this is—my first time doing this...!"

"It's gonna be fine. We're doing this together after all."

He want to oppose within every fiber of his body. But seeing how eager Ochako being right now, her tender smile lightening the tension, and offering a hand to know she gonna stay with him til the end.

But he suggested this in the first place. And he need initate this for the sake of his pride as a man and Ochako did her end on the promise, and now he need to do his.

He clasp his hand with her's. Shutting his eyes and gritting his teeth in preparation.

"L...Let's do this!"

Ochako did the same as she responded with determination.

"Yes!"

Both continue with their eyes closed and their clasped hands tighten as they did what they thought was impossible to do.

Two sounds of crunching echo the room simultaneously.

"AHHHHHH!" The girl was the first to let go as she use both of her hands to fan out the intense heat coming from her mouth. Tears glistening on the edge of her eyes.

Izuku is already clutching his stomach as quick and short breaths coming out of his lungs. Also on the verge of tears. And on the verge of throwing up.

Izuku wanted to try new things in order to grow fearless, calling Ochako, who known for taking risks, for anything suggestions. The brunette suggested to start out something small. For a good start was tasting food out of his comfort zone, spicy food.

And what other way to start off than the Ghost Pepper Challenge?

They both ran to the fridge to grab two milk cartons Izuku's mother bought yesterday. Both desperately trying to open their own dairy savior and struggling for their vision blurred with tears.

Once they successfully open the tabs. Both challenger were already halfway to finishing their drinks.

The freckle-faced boy finish first and was still panting. His hand on his knee and the other holding the empty carton.

"Nev...Never. AGAIN!"

She soon finished her own and instantly nodded with disgusted written on her face.

"A—AGREE."

Both tap their carton together in favor of never doing the Ghost Pepper Challenge again, before throwing the boxes away in the trash.


Short Drabble of a friendship goal. Hope you guys like this and I'm thinking of making more chapters with "Friendship Goals" writing prompts.

DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS AT HOME IF YOU'RE A FIRST TIMER WITH SPICY FOOD!
