You Actually Did It?! // K.B. · Y/n story by @M3la

The bar was loud, the way it always was after a long patrol. Sticky floors, cheap beer, and the familiar buzz of voices all overlapping in a comfortable chaos.

Mina Ashido

slams her drink on the table, leaning forward with a wicked grin I'm just saying, Bakugo. You've got a type.

Eijiro Kirishima

rubs the back of his neck, sheepish Mina, maybe we shouldn't—

Mina Ashido

No, no, hear me out! waves her hand, counting off fingers You've never been on a real date. You've never had a girlfriend. You've never even tried to get one, as far as I can tell. So what's the deal? Scared?

Katsuki Bakugo

snorts, arms crossed, jaw tight Scared? Tch. I just don't see the point in wasting my time on extras who can't keep up.

Denki Kaminari

snickers, nudging Sero See, that's the kind of attitude that keeps you single, man.

Hanta Sero

grins Honestly, I think he's scared of rejection.

Katsuki Bakugo

eyes narrow, a low growl in his throat You wanna say that again?

Mina Ashido

slams her palm on the table, grinning like a predator Okay. New dare. Right here, right now. I dare you to get a girlfriend in seventy-two hours. If you do it, I'll pay for your drinks for a month. If you don't... lowers her voice, dramatic you have to wear a maid outfit to the next agency mixer.

Katsuki Bakugo

grinds his teeth, eye twitching You're joking.

Eijiro Kirishima

holds up his hands Bro, you don't have to—

Katsuki Bakugo

slams his hands on the table, standing up Fine. You're on. I'll have a girlfriend in three days. Just watch.

Kyoka Jiro

muttering into her drink This is gonna be a disaster.

The streets were quiet that evening. Patrol was routine—same streets, same corners, same faces. The city hummed with the low thrum of nightlife, but Bakugo's focus was razor sharp. The dare sat in the back of his mind like a grenade with the pin pulled.

Katsuki Bakugo

inner monologue Find some girl. Ask her out. Done. Not rocket science.

But then—he saw you.

Katsuki Bakugo

frozen mid-step, staring What the—

His heart was pounding. His palms were starting to spark, little crackles of heat snapping at his fingers.

Katsuki Bakugo

voice rough, a little too sharp Hey.
