The next day after their morning patrol Bakugo angrily stomped inside the Todoroki Agency with an equally upset Kirishima. "Stupid good for nothing wanna be heroes."

"Normally I wouldn't agree-but this really hurts." Kaminari painfully winced limping next to Kirishima who was helping him walk.

"Sorry man." Kirishima apologetically said as he repositioned his hold on his friend. During their patrol they came across a few new heroes who had their hands full battling a villain who could shoot spikes out of his arms and legs.

Normally this wouldn't be too bad to deal with but after watching the guy taking the quirk enhancing drug that still flitted the black market, the villain turned out being more problematic than they initially thought. It didn't help that the heroes on the scene were fresh out of school and instead of waiting for backup, decided to take matters into their own hands.

By the time Bakugo, Kirishima, Kaminari and Sero had arrived they were busier trying to keep the new heroes as well as the nearby civilians from harm rather than handling the villain himself.

"At least we managed to bring him down before anyone else got hurt." Kirishima eyed Kaminaris bandaged leg which was the result of one of the spikes.

"Yeah, but not without a price." Kaminari's pout only made Bakugo roll his eyes as he quickened his steps.

"Quite your whining already. It was one measly spike!" He barked back as they approached the double doors to their locker room. "Besides didn't those medics say you'd be good to go soon?" he asked as he held the door open for them.

"I sure hope so. This really hurts." Groaning Kaminari blissfully smiled when Kirishima carefully helped him sit down on one of the nearby benches. "I wonder how Sero's doing."

"He told us he'd be back here after speaking to the other agency that were responsible for the newbies."

"Tch." Walking over to his locker Bakugo unlocked it before getting ready for another workout at the gym.

Scrolling through his phone Kaminari sheepishly grinned when he received another text message from Jiro.

Kyoka: I'm on my way. Think you can hold on until I get there babe?

"My girl loves me." He quickly began typing back while Bakugo rolled his eyes. "Hey you think I can convince her to-" Furrowing his brows he stopped mid-sentence when he instantly received another message before he managed to send his own.

Kyoka: And before you even think about it. No, I'm not wearing one of those sleazy nurses' outfits Denki.

"Oh man…" Dropping his shoulders in defeat he only pouted at his screen while erasing his previous message and starting a new one.

Denki: Are you sure? It'll help me feel better

Glancing over at his friend Kirishima only snorted as he removed his red gear-shaped shoulder pads. "Don't worry man, you can just hang out with Bakubro and I in the meantime." He said knowing that the girls were getting ready to go visit Urarakas mother for the weekend.

"Quite calling me that Shitty hair."

"I will when you stop calling me Shitty hair." Kirishima pointed out which just made Bakugo shoot him a nasty glare. Chuckling Kirishima turned to see Kaminari once again smiling at his phone. "But you know what's crazy? In a way I envy him."

"Tch you sure are crazy. Did you get hit in the head again?"

"Nah dude I'm serious." Kirishima smiled as he stared into his locker. "Must be nice to come home to someone you know."

"What are you talking about? I have to come home and look at your ugly face all the time and trust me, that's not something you want."

"Ok that hurt, but I'm going to be a bigger man and let that slide." Kirishima thoughtfully frowned when his mind drifted off to a certain pink girl. "It's just…"

"Oh fuck me…" Bakugo groaned in annoyance debating on whether it was worth banging his head against his locker and black out if it meant getting him out of this conversation.

"What?" Snapping his head in Bakugos direction Kirishima only confusingly blinked back. "What?"

"You're doing that shit again!"

"What thing?"

"You know, that shit where you start talking about the damn past and want to start talking about our damn feelings-"

"Hey I do not do that." Kirishimas frown deepened in offense. "And talking about your feelings is as manly as they come."

"-and then you get all down talking about damn Raccoon eyes." He finished off as if Kirishima hadn't been talking at all. "It's nauseating and quite frankly makes me want to punch you in the face so you have something else to complain about."

"Harsh dude."

"Hate to say it but you do man. Not that I agree with Bakugo wanting to punch you or anything." Kaminari put his phone away after letting Jiro know he was going to stay a little longer. "I guess I'm the lucky one right now huh." Proudly grinning he just realized that out of their little group he was the only one with a girlfriend.

"You sure about that?" Bakugo raised a pointed brow at Kaminaris leg. "I really have half a mind to ask Mr. Aizawa what the hell they're doing over there." He shuddered at the thought of their old teachers menacing glare. "Those fuckin extras shouldn't even have graduated."

"Ok man I will admit that they weren't on their best game today…"

"No shit."

"But remember we all started off as rookies."

"Who the hell you're talking about? We were awesome compared to these newbies and had plenty of experience under our belts before we even finished our first year."

"Exactly." Kirishima raises his hands. "We had the experience they didn't have. Now don't get me wrong I'm glad that they didn't have to go through all the things we had to, and since crime has been going down the only time they actually do get to be out on the field is when they're doing their work studies."

"Yeah. Hey, do you think they'll ask any of us to be a part of their work studies this year?"

"Fuck no!"

"Not sure…" Rubbing his chin Kirishima couldn't help but think it would be cool to finally pass down his knowledge to someone else the way Fat Gum did with him. "I wouldn't mind though."

"Speak for yourself." Bakugo scoffed. "I don't have time to hold some extras hand on the job. If they can't cut it, then good riddance."

"You would say that." Chuckling Kirishima turned his head at the sound of another message coming through Kaminaris phone. "Just like I know I'm not the only one wishing to be greeted by a friendly face once I get home."

"Screw you rocks for brains I'm a joy to come home to!"

"Na-huh…"

Raising his middle finger Bakugo flicked his eyes between Kaminari and Kirishima before turning and scowling into his locker. Removing his silver dog tag necklace from around his neck he carefully placed it inside his locker for save keeping before his workout. "You'll never see me whipped or put on a leash for anyone." He scoffed.

Raising a knowing brow, Kirishima had to fight the smug smile from crossing his face. "Right."

Smiling Jiro quickly put her phone in her pocket before making sure her car keys were in her jean pocket. "I better hurry, there's no telling what other things he'll get into with those guys around." She chuckled before turning to Uraraka.

"Don't even worry about it. We'll be fine. I just hope Kaminaris ok." Uraraka smiled.

"I'm sure he is." Jiro tried not to worry knowing that Kaminari was ok and making things sound worse than they really were, but despite that she still wanted to be there for him.

"Poor Kaminari." Mina frowned before her face lit up. "If you want you can borrow my-"

"No." Jiro quickly cut her off as she walked over towards Mina's apartment door. "There's no way I'm ever wearing something like that."

Innocently shrugging her shoulders Mina's lip twitched into a small smile already knowing the answer to her question before she even had to ask again. "Ok, but if you change your mind my closet's wide open for you."

Gripping the doorknob as she opened the door Jiro could already feel the blush creeping up her face before she even turned. "Ok, I guess it won't hurt to look."

Mischievously wiggling her brows Mina watched the way Jiro briskly speed walked over to her bedroom. "Take whatever you need babe. You know where they are."

Shaking her head Uraraka gave a silent giggle from her position on her couch with a sleeping Kiseki in her arms after passing out from one of his milk comas with a small tinge of a smile on his lips.

"Hey at least she's having some fun. Look at us. Where are our wounded men?" Mina begrudgingly slouched down until her head rested on Uraraka's shoulder. "I'll tell you what, I could really use one of those hugs that turn into sex."

When they saw movement behind them, they turned their head enough to see Jiro's beet red face as she quickly walked past them and out the door with some clothes sticking out of her purse. "See ya."

"Bye!"

"Happy humping! Just don't hurt that boy anymore then he already is!" Mina laughed when they saw her briefly stop before giving them both amused looks.

"I won't promise anything."

Gasping they both tried to keep their laughter down for Kisekis sake as Jiro exited Mina's apartment,

"Go Jiro."

Carefully getting to her feet Uraraka gently placed her baby down in his car seat before fixing her shirt and frowning down at the droll spot on it. "Eww Kiseki…"

"He did seem comfortable." Mina grinned while getting to her feet and stretching her arms out as she walked into the kitchen. Since it was Saturday, they tried to enjoy their off day as much as they could which was one of the reasons they offered to accompany Uraraks to her mom's today. "I don't get how the guys managed to make it into work today with how hammered everyone was. I mean I know I was feeling good."

Uraraka accepted the glass of water Mina offered her before taking a much-needed drink. When she felt the uncharacteristic silence drag on, she stared at her friend who was already leaning her chin in her hands studying her. "What?"

"So… Mina began which made Uraraka gulp. "I couldn't help but noticed you leaving with tall, dark and explosive last night…"

"Whatever you're thinking Mina, don't." she let her eyes wander off, she should have known that someone like Mina would notice her absence.

"What? I'm not thinking anything." Innocently blinking back Mina quickly shook her head before taking a sip from her own glass. "Just curious is all."

"Uh-huh…" Skeptically eyeing her, Uraraka began taking another gulp of her water when Mina's voice chimed in.

"So did you two boink?" Smiling, Mina quickly grabbed some napkins nearby when Uraraka began uncontrollably choking on her drink. "I'm taking that as a no?"

"No!" Feverishly shaking her head Uraraka continued to stare wide eyed at Minas genuine interested expression. "Why-why would you think that?"

"Well from what I could tell you two seem to get along quite well outside and you did leave with Bakugo." She made sure to empathize it to her. "When have you ever seen that boy leave with a girl?"

"I don't know to tell you the truth since we haven't been back long." Nervously rubbing the back of her head, Uraraka tried to shake off the nagging pain that question brought. "It's something I rather not think about."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Mina thoughtfully hummed knowing that she did have a point. "Still the unsolvable question does remain." When she saw Urarakas questioning gaze Mina grinned. "On whether he's any good in bed or not, geez Ochaco you can't tell me you've never thought about anyone in our class that way."

"W-well I wouldn't say never…" she began pressing her fingertips together, it was only when she saw the pink girls face instantly light up that she realized her mistake.

"Really? Who?!"

"Shhh!"

"Sorry." Mina cringed as they both pivoted sideways to make sure Kiseki was still asleep. "Well damn Ochaco your breastmilk sure does a number." Mina quickly covered her mouth when she felt another loud laugh coming up at Urarakas expression. "No girl but seriously WHO?"

"I-I-I don't really remember."

Dramatically gasping Mina clutched her hands to her chest. "You lie! To me!"

"No, I'm not." Nervously stepping back she felt Minas scrutinizing eyes trying to bury themselves deep in her mind. "I-it was such a long time ago, and a lot's happened since then that I really don't remember." Cringing Uraraka only hoped her friend would believe it. 'There's no way she'll believe that! I need to get better at this!'

Tilting her chin up Mina regarded her for a minute before nodding. "That's true."

"Yeah, you see. Long time ago." Breathing a sigh of relief she awkwardly giggled. 'No it hasn't! It's only been a freaking year!'

"I bet you his personality makes up for it in the sack." Mina thoughtfully said, tapping her finger to her cheek. "Not that Bakugo's my type. I prefer them tall, muscular with a full set of red hair."

Minas comment and laughter also made Uraraka smile in return. And it wasn't only because of what she had said but because that brought back memories Uraraka wouldn't mind reliving again knowing for a fact that statement about Bakugo to be beyond true. As the heat traveled to her face, she had to place her hands on her cheeks to try and keep those thoughts at bay. 'You have no idea….'

"You know from what I heard is that our boy's single." Mina sing songed enjoying the way Urarakas eyes widened in surprise. "But I could be wrong who knows. That boy got more girls after him than I have shoes. So that's saying something."

Smiling, Uraraka looked back at her sleeping baby. "Yeah, I guess so."

"Alright enough talking about everyone's sex life including Bakubros who seems to have more of a love life then both of us combined." Mina gave a small pout as they exited the kitchen. "Let's live this weekend vigorously and go visit your mom!"

"Well, when you make it sound like that…" Uraraka giggled as she followed her.

"I know! At this rate my V card will grow back in no time!" Mina playfully grabbed her by the shoulder. "I didn't even think that was possible!"

"Um I don't think that's quite how it works…"

"How would you know you're right there with me!" Mina dropped her mouth open when Urarakas eyes grew right before they busted out laughing. "Oh babe at least we'll both die as reborn virgins."

"Mina shh!"

Grunting Kirishima watches as Bakugo lies back down as he helps him unrack the bar before he once again benches the heavy weight. It was obvious his grumpy friend hadn't drank at all last night, which now that he thought about it was probably the right move since he was still dealing with his hangover.

"Dude I'm tired."

"From what? Standing? And the fuck you sweating for?! You haven't even done your regular workout idiot."

"Sorry bro, still not feeling 100 today."

"Same here." Sero said next to Kaminari as he held his head down with a wet towel.

"No shit." Bakugo grunted as he pushed the bar up. "Told you morons not to get shit faced last night. What ever happened to taking it easy?"

"Hey it was your birthday." Kaminari pointed out which he knew was a bad argument in his case. While the goal was to have a good time, they had not planned for it to get like this.

It was only when he was done and sat back up that Bakugo asked. "What time did you guys leave anyways?" When he saw them exchange unsure looks, he only rolled his eyes. "You idiots don't even know."

"Now that you mention it… I did hear something interesting." Kaminari grinned up at the ceiling as he remained laying on one of the mats.

"Oh really?" Kirishima grinned when he saw Bakugo curse under his breath as he wipes his sweaty forehead with the hem of his shirt.

"Yup, heard it from a reliable source."

"If you got you're information from Racoon Eyes then it's as reliable as a blind guy crossing the street by himself." Shaking his head Bakugo had long stopped wondering when those two would ever stop gossiping to each other like back in UA.

"Well I have it on good authority that it may be true." Now slowly sitting up Kaminari only received a disbelieving grunt from him.

Rolling his neck and shoulders to work out the kinks, Bakugo could vaguely feel Kaminaris' eyes on him.

"So, what it is? What happened?" Sero's curiosity outweighed any other current headaches when he saw Kaminari's lip raise into a sly smile.

"I don't know, why don't you ask Kacchan over here."

"The fuck does this have to do with me?"

"Well…" Kaminari teasingly nudged him which only made Bakugo scowl deepen. "Word around the water cooler is that you and a certain someone left the bar together last night."

"What?" Snapping his head sideways Kirishima had trouble believing that his bro would leave with anyone at that.

"You didn't…" Sero gawked. "Dude!"

"Who? You mean Uraraka?" Bakugo frowned still not understanding what this was all about, but he was surprised that the news spread around like wildfire on a windy day. "Yeah we left together so what?"

"So it's true?!"

"Well, it's not like it was a secret that I wanted to get the hell out of there."

"With Uraraka?" Kaminari repeated as his mouth dropped open. "You left with Uraraka?"

"Uraraka from our class Uraraka?" Sero asked with widened eyes.

"Yeah…?" Raising a confused brow, Bakugo turned to see Kirishima just as equally baffled as the other two. "She was ok with leaving too."

"Niceeee." Both Kaminari and Sero approvingly grinned.

"So how was it?" Sero asked now fully awake. "I mean I didn't picture her with someone like you but still…"

"Oi and what the fuck does that mean?!" Bakugo iriitatingly asked, now leaning forward on his elbows.

"Nothing it's just that I didn't really picture her leaving with anyone really." Sero admitted as he tried to remember the last time he saw her last night.

"Well she did alright." Bakugo grit between his teeth growing furious that they had a hard time believing she would accept the offer to leave that place with him before he began thinking about their walk afterwards.

"So?"

"Dude not cool!" Kirishima disapprovingly stared at the two who were eagerly waiting for Bakugo's reply. There was no way this could be what they were all thinking. No way. He was about to tell them just that when Bakugos gruff voice broke through his thoughts.

"…it wasn't bad I guess."

Almost in sync they all turned to see him staring at something on the ground.

"Really?!"

"What happened?!"

"Yeah, I mean we just talked for a little. It wasn't anything to get worked up over." He muttered now keeping his gaze on his hands.

"Ohhh, I get it." Awkwardly rubbing his neck, it didn't take long for the red head to put two and two together. 'So nothing really did happen…'

"What the heck are you talking about man?! It's a huge deal!" Sero jumped up from his seat which made Bakugo snap his eyes towards their stunt expressions.

"Why?" he confusingly blinked. "She probably would've done that with anyone."

"Hey! Now I may not know everything about Uraraka, but I know she's better than that." Kaminari sternly pointed his finger. "And a little respect goes a long way dude."

"You're the ones asking for what happened!"

"Yeah, but this is Uraraka we're talking about. At least tell us you were respectful towards her."

"Um guys-" Kirishima tried to cut in but was instantly being showed aside.

"Respect? What the hell are you talking about? I just did what any of you assholes would've done."

"Hey now I'm not gonna lie and say I never tried to hit on her – multiple times- but I'm happily taken." Kaminari said receiving another message telling him his girlfriend was only a few minutes away.

"Yeah, and she is really really hot." Sero admitted. "But we've known her for so long that it would feel messed up to take advantage of her like that." When another thought occurred to him, he turned to Kaminari as if Bakugo wasn't even in the room. "Do you think she was drunk? Maybe that's why she left with him?"

"Could be."

"Wait…we are still talking about walking her home, right?" Bakugo asked starring between their shocked expressions.

"I'm pretty sure they're not." Kirishima face palmed himself. It took Bakugo approximately five seconds to figure out what was going on around him before his face twisted in disgust.

"Ew what?! NO!" Getting to his feet he angrily glared at the two as a few sparks began popping in his palm. "WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU TWO?!"

"With us?! You're the one taking advantage of our sweet Uravity." Kaminari argued.

"I didn't!" he shouted taking a dangerous step forward only to be stopped by Kirishima. "I- nothing happened!" Calmly breathing through his nose, he tried to contain his anger unless he wanted to get another lecture from Todoroki for having to fix the gym. "Look you brainless shitheads, I wanted to leave and so did she. That's it!"

"Are you sure?"

"Listen Sparky I have no problem finishing off your other leg." Bakugo's menacing eyes turned white as he stared at a gulping Kaminari.

"So you really did walk her home huh…" Nervously rubbing his head Sero could understand Bakugo's anger towards them and was surprised that they were still in one piece. "Sorry about that man."

"Whatever." Grabbing his own towel Bakugo stomped his way out before heading for the showers. Whatever gave them the thought that he and Uraraka would have done anything was beyond him. Although the thought alone made him uneasy, and it wasn't the fact that this was Uraraka only but that after their brief walk the other night, he couldn't help but think about the way it felt to just hang out with her which wasn't necessarily all unpleasant.

He had worked hard all day to forget about it and was doing a decent job of it too until those nutjobs that called themselves his friends assumed something that wasn't and never would be true. "Idiots."

Waltzing into his office he irritatingly groaned when he saw his PR already waiting for him. Could this day get any worse? "Damn it! Last I checked this was my damn office."

"And last I checked you had my phone number." She frustratingly threw a magazine on his desk. "Did you read today's headlines?"

"Does it look like I read that garbage?" He bit back before glancing down. When his eyes landed on the picture plastered on the front of the magazine, he could see what she was referring to. "What is this?" Picking it up he frowned when his eyes instantly went to both Uraraka and Kiseki smiling as the three of them sat at the restaurant the other day eating.

"You tell me."

Reading the headline made his eyes narrow in on whoever published this. 'Is Dynamight hiding something? Out on a date with Uravity?'

"Gotta admit, those damn pests work fast." He mused out loud remembering when he saw a brief flash that day but didn't think anything of it at the time. "So what of it?" he asked, dropping it back down on his desk.

"I would take this seriously Dynamight. You don't want that bad publicity all over your growing career."

"Let them write what the hell they want. I don't care. That's not gonna impact me from doing my job and doing it damn well at that."

"Believe it or not this does impact how others see you."

"Look I don't have time for this." Pinching the bridge of his nose he regretting ever coming to his office in the first place. If the press was fishing for some non-exciting juicy gossip, then screw them. It didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was what was actually true. "Who wrote this?"

"Does it matter?" she asked. "This doesn't bother you?"

"No, it doesn't." he snapped back his stomach twisting with anger. Not for him but for Uraraka and her baby. "Why the hell would whatever they say impact how I do my job or if they assume shit, I couldn't care less." Leaning forward on his hands he jabbed his finger at the magazine on his desk. "But what I do have a fuckin problem with is why the hell involve her or her kid?! If they're going after me to try and find something, then I don't give two shits as long as it doesn't involve people close to me."

"Dynamight-"

"You see that's why I tell all those damn reporters to go to hell when they ask for damn interviews!"

"Sometimes that's necessary. But…since you don't want to do that…" Shrugging her shoulders she quickly pulled out her phone. "…all we have to do is damage control."

"Damage control?"

"Don't worry I'll take care of it." She waved off already dialing on her phone. "Luckily this was the only magazine with that story today, so we need to make sure it stays that way."

"What are you-" when he saw her raise her finger to silence him, he had half a mind to fire her ass despite her being one of the best PRs in the country.

"Yes, that's right make sure you book it…oh that's no problem he's more than happy to do it."

"Do what?" he said between clenched teeth.

Ending her phone call she only smiled at him. "Congratulations Dynamight, I just saved your career."
