A/N: I had this cute headcanon the Tokage would get Sero to watch How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World because I can so see that happening. Since it's canon that Tokage Setsuna likes dinosaurs, I think that she would like dragons, too. Like Yukidaze here on AO3 said in the Kamijirou discord, dragons are to dinosaur lovers as unicorns are to horse lovers.
Credit for this one shot also goes to Eeveelutions11 here on AO3 as we both discussed this headcanon after I brought it up in the Kamijirou discord.
(This story is 3 years old as I published this on AO3 on 4/26/20. The notes at the beginning and end are from then and not now.)
I don't own anything My Hero Academia related.
It was a Sunday afternoon, and all of the students at U.A. High school were spending their day off chilling and relaxing before diving into another week of school. Sero Hanta, one of U.A's first year hero course students, was sitting in the common area of his dormitory. His plans for the day consisted of watching movies with a very special friend of his. After five more minutes he heard the doorbell ring.
"Coming." Sero called out as he walked towards the front door. He opened the door and saw Tokage Setsuna excitedly jumping up and down with a big smile on her face. Before he could get a word out, Tokage wrapped her arms around him in a big hug.
"Hiya cutie!" Tokage exclaimed into his chest.
"Hello to you, too." Sero said smiling, wrapping his arms around her.
"Oh my gosh I haven't seen you in forever. Tokage said once she released him from the hug.
"Sets, it's only been four days." Sero chuckled, "Plus you have seen me." He added.
"Only when we passed by each other in the halls and during lunch." Tokage chuckled, "You know what I mean." She added.
"Yeah I do." Sero said, leading her inside and closing the door behind her.
Ever since the Joint Training Exercise, Sero and Tokage have become really close friends. They had similar interests, got each other's sense of humor, and just had fun with each other (Mina shipped them immediately). Along the way a crush formed between them, but neither of them were brave enough to confess to the other. So they liked each other, but they weren't exactly a couple (except they are….Mina said so). Plus their companionship was another bridge that brought Class 1-A and 1-B together (much to Kendou and TetsuTetsu's delight and Monoma's annoyance).
The two walked over to the common area and sat down on one of the sofas.
"So what movies did you bring?" Sero asked.
Tokage went through her bag and pulled out three DVDs.
"The How To Train Your Dragon trilogy?" Sero said.
"Yeah!" Tokage said, nodding her head excitedly.
"Oh cool. I haven't seen the first two in so long so I don't remember exactly what happens." Sero said, "And I actually never saw the third one." He added.
Tokage gasped and stared at him in shock, "You…you haven't seen Hidden World?" She asked.
"Nope." Sero said.
There was a moment of silence before Tokage finally spoke again.
"Well then it's a good thing I brought these movies today!" Tokage exclaimed, making her way over to the TV and DVD player, "We must fix this immediately!" She added.
Sero just watched as she turned on the TV and DVD player with a very amused look on his face.
"You must really love these movies." Sero chuckled.
"This is my favorite movie trilogy!" Tokage said excitedly, "And I'm really happy I get to watch them with you!" She added.
Sero smiled his signature smile in response. Suddenly Tokage paused her movements and turned to look at Sero.
"Please tell me you know about the TV series." Tokage said.
"Oh yeah I definitely know about the TV series." Sero said, "I just never got a chance to watch it." He added.
"Ok so we're going to fix that, too." Tokage said, "But on another day, because today we have movies to watch." She added and turned her attention back to the TV and DVD player.
Sero watched her as excitement just shined through her and gave a soft smile.
"I really like her." He thought to himself.
Sero and Tokage spent the next 6-7 hours watching the HTTYD trilogy, and more people joined them along the way. They were watching the climax of the first movie when Kaminari and Jirou, Midoriya and Uraraka, Momo and Todoroki, Kirishima and Ashido, and Kendou and TetsuTetsu all filed into the common area of the Class 1-A dormitory after their group outing. Once they all saw what the two of their friends were watching on the TV they immediately joined them, effectively making their movie date into a group activity. Not that Tokage minded though, as she welcomed sharing her love for the movie trilogy with anyone who shared that love. And if Tokage was fine with it, Sero was fine with it.
The group of friends continued watching the movie trilogy without any problems. Until they got to the end of The Hidden World, as that was when Bakugou entered the scene. He spent most of the day just chilling in his room and he decided to go downstairs to make a sandwich. He was not expecting to see
"What are you extras crying about?" Bakugou asked.
"SSSHHHHHHHHHH!" Was the response he got from everyone sitting around the TV.
Bakugou had to suppress the growl coming up his throat. He then walked closer and saw what they were watching.
"You guys are watching that stupid How To Train Your Dragon movie?" Bakugou asked.
"HEY!" Tokage exclaimed indignantly, turning to face Bakugou and pointed at him. Sero put his hand on her leg to calm her down while pausing the movie. It worked only a little bit.
"How To Train Your Dragon is not stupid! It is a brilliant masterpiece!" Tokage said, "And don't you judge our crying! The dragons are leaving, you don't know our pain!" She added. Sero nodded his head in agreement.
"Yeah, back off Bakugou!" Uraraka exclaimed.
"Yeah you would cry, too if you watched these movies." Kaminari said.
"Please like I'd waste my time watching those movies." Bakugou said, crossing his arms, "And I wouldn't cry." He added.
"I bet you would." Kaminari said.
"Well I bet I wouldn't." Bakugou said.
"You totally would." Kaminari said.
"No I wouldn't." Bakugou said.
"Yes you would." Kaminari said.
"No I wouldn't." Bakugou said.
"Yes you would." Kaminari said.
"No I wouldn't." Bakugou said.
"Alright listen here fuckers!" Tokage said, grabbing the attention of both boys, "Can you two just agree to disagree?! Kaminari we still have to finish the movie because an important scene is coming up! Bakugou can you just do whatever you planned on doing when you came down here and leave us alone?! We don't need your negativity!" She added.
Everyone else who was watching the movie looked a Bakugou in agreeance.
"Whatever." Bakugou said, rolling his eyes, and started making his way over to the kitchen. The others went back to watching the movie.
As Bakugou moved around the kitchen making his sandwich, he couldn't help but think back to what Kaminari said to him. He could so watch the HTTYD trilogy without crying. It was like Kaminari was challenging him, and he wasn't one to back down from a challenge. However, he also didn't want to waste his time watching those stupid movies, so he wasn't going to do it. Even if he was curious about those movies, he was not going to let that get the best of him.
He would not watch those movies.
Curiosity ended up getting the best of Bakugou. That and his desire to not back down from a challenge.
He ended up watching the HTTYD trilogy to see what all the hubbub was about and to prove that he could watch it without crying. He failed, especially when he got to the ending of The Hidden World. The only problem was that he decided to watch them the following Sunday, which was the day the class 1-A and 1-B decided to spend the day together.
That and the fact that he forgot to lock his door even when he knows his classmates like to up and walk into each other's rooms.
"Hey Bakugou." Sero said as he walked into Bakugou's room, "Tokage and I are going to that pizza place three blocks from here to get us all pizza. What do you-!" He paused when he saw the scene before him.
Bakugou was furiously wiping his eyes and behind him his laptop played the ending credits of a movie. A movie that was very familiar to him. A movie that he just so happened to have watched last week.
A smirk formed on Sero's face, "Why Bakugou….you watched How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World?" He asked.
"Get out!" Bakugou exclaimed.
"Hey Sero, what's taking so long?" Tokage asked, walking into the room and taking a hold of Sero's arm, "Everyone is getting impatient and want their pizza so we have to go soo-!" She stops once she sees what going on.
"Ooooooooohhhh." Tokage said, "Oooooohohohohoooooooooooooo!" She added.
"He actually watched Hidden World Sets." Sero said.
"Not just Hidden World Sero." Tokage said, "I think he watched all three." She added.
"You know what? I think you're right." Sero said, smirking at Bakugou's reaction.
"I'LL KICK BOTH YOUR ASSES!" Bakugou yelled, resulting in Sero and Tokage doubling over with laughter.
"Will you two just get out?!" Bakugou exclaimed.
"Sure." Tokage laughed, wiping a tear from her eye, "We'll leave Bakugou." She added.
"After you tell us what kind of pizza you want" Sero said.
"I don't care." Bakugou said, "Now get out!" He added.
"Okay! Come one Sero let's go!" Tokage said, pulling Sero out of the rom by his arm.
Bakugou just sat there listening to the two chat animatedly with each other as they walked down the hall. He then put a hand up to his face and rubbed his eyes.
"Those two just need to officially become a couple already." Bakugou thought to himself, "They basically act like one, so I don't know what's keeping them." He added.
He sat there for a few more moments to calm himself down before getting up and exiting his room. He decided to go down to the common area to hang out with Kirishima. He decided to take the stairs to get down faster. He wasn't far behind Sero and Tokage as he could still hear them talking even at the very top of the stairwell of the dormitory. He made his way down the stairs and let out sigh, thinking all of his troubles were over for the night.
That thought went out the window as soon as Sero and Tokage exited the stairwell into the common area.
"GUY'S BAKUGOU ENDED UP WATCHING THE HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON TRILOGY!" Tokage screamed, "AND HE WAS CRYING!" She added while laughing.
"HE WAS?!" Mina exclaimed.
"YOU BET YOUR ASS HE WAS!" Sero laughed.
"PLEASE TELL ME ONE OF YOU GOT IT ON TAPE!" Kaminari laughed.
"WE WISH!" Both Sero and Tokage laughed.
Bakugou then heard everyone else erupted in hysterical laughter. He shook with rage and a vein throbbed on his head.
"OH THAT DOES IT!" He thought to himself.
He raced down what was left of the stairs and burst through the door to the common room.
"I'LL KILL YOU BOTH!" Bakugou screamed.
Everyone turned their attention towards him and laughed even harder. The vein in Bakugou's head throbbed even more.
"Stop laughing!" Bakugou growled, "Stop laughing all of you!" He added.
He did not appreciate being laughed at by everyone in the two hero course classes. He then spotted the two culprits of this whole mess, them laughing the hardest out of everyone.
"YOU TWO!" Bakugou spat, pointing his finger at Sero and Tokage, "PREPARE TO DIE!" He added.
"You got to catch us first!" Tokage exclaimed. She then grabbed Sero's hand and they both proceeded to run out of the dormitory.
"GET BACK HERE!" Bakugou screamed, running after them.
"No need to feel embarrassed Bakugou." Kirishima chuckled, "We feel your pain." He added.
"YOU SHUT UP SHITTY HAIR!" Bakugou called back as he was already out the door.
That only brought the remaining members of class 1-A and 1-B into more hysterical laughter.
Bakugou didn't end up killing them, but he did chase them all the way to the pizza place three blocks away from campus. The three were now walking back to campus, each carrying five boxes of pizza. And somehow, through whatever miracle that was bestowed on them, Sero and Tokage were actually able to start a lengthy discussion with Bakugou about the HTTYD trilogy.
"Ok Bakugou, so out of all the three movies which one is your favorite?" Tokage asked.
Bakugou was silent for a moment before he finally spoke, "The second one." He grumbled.
"Oh my gosh!" Tokage exclaimed, "Me too!" She added, jumping slightly with excitement.
"Same." Sero said, nodding his head with his signature smile on his face.
"Not that I don't like all three of course, but the second one is just so EPIC!" Tokage said.
"Yeah I was on the edge of my seat for most of the movie." Sero said.
"And Toothless kicked ass, too." Bakugou said.
"He totally did!" Sero said.
"Sero we definitely have to plan the day were watch the TV series!" Tokage said.
"I agree! And sooner than later!" Sero said.
The two continued to walk, chatting excitedly about a possible day and time to binge the show when they noticed that Bakugou wasn't walking alongside them anymore. They stopped and looked behind them to find Bakugou frozen a few feet behind them.
"Uhhhhh Bakugou?" Tokage said.
"You okay man?" Sero asked.
"There's a TV series?" Bakugou asked quietly.
Sero and Tokage looked and each other and smirked.
"You see the twinkle in his eyes Sero?" Tokage asked.
"Yeah, he looks pretty excited." Sero said.
"What did you two say?" Bakugou growled, frowning at the two people in front of him.
"Oop, I think we struck a nerve." Tokage chuckled.
"Yeah because he knows what we're saying is true." Sero said, "Knowing Bakugou he just might go and search for the TV series as soon as we get back to the dorms." He added.
Bakugou was absolutely fuming.
"THAT'S IT!" Bakugou screamed, "I'LL KILL YOU BOTH! AND I MEAN IT THIS TIME!" He added, charging at the two, yelling more threats at them.
And for the rest of their way back to campus, Bakugou chased Sero and Tokage, with the latter two laughing hysterically the entire time.
