“Come on people let’s get this party STARTED!” you screamed from your spot on the counter. Hearing your name get called in the mix of excitement gets your attention and you turn to Iida who is already spewing school rule nonsense "Please, I advise you to get off the kitchen counter right now! This is school property and you are disrespecting it by sitting up there.” You look at Iida with a straight face before finally a laugh is pulled out of you, echoing in the kitchen. “Oh come on Iida loosen up a bit! Here-” you handed him a freshly poured cup out of the bowl next to you, “have some punch and go get in the circle, and tell Mina I’ll be there in a sec, I just have to get one last thing.”
Surprisingly enough he listened to you, taking a drink of the punch, wrenching backwards at the taste, and taking another while he walked to the living room. 'I'm such a bad influence' the thought comes to your mind but it just makes you laugh to yourself ,you're almost graduating having him drink a little was the least problematic thing that happened on these grounds.
After calming down a little, there was already punch in your system making you a little hysterical. You hopped off the counter, walking to the cabinet on the other side and grabbing the bottle of Tequila. Yesterday there was two but one went to the punch. You opened it grabbing a few cups and walked to the Circle. “Ok, who wants some heaven” you shook the bottle lightly looking over the group. A few hands were raised, belonging to the people you expect the most Denki, Kirishima, Mina, and Jiro, and one hand you don't expect, Todoroki.
You looked at Sero, “none for you spider-man?” Sero looked at you, his eyes were squinted and red “No mi cariño...I’m set for the night” and he gives you a gentle smile. The moment is cut short when Bakugou rolls up (as best he can really) the manga in his hands and hits him on the head. “Dumbass, you shouldn’t be smoking in the dorms.” “Yeah and we shouldn't have alcohol either but look what you're doing."
Bakugou made a tch noise and crossed his arms turning to talk to Kirishima, you laughed at the interaction, quite a common one for the group. Eventually you put the cups on the coffee table, poured the drinks out, handing them to the people who wanted one. There was only a bit left in the bottle so you decided to keep it for yourself, tipping the bottle to your mouth and taking a swig of the clear liquid. It burned your throat while it went down before you started coughing, hitting at your chest. Mina was looking at you laughing her ass off as you slowly choked.
Bakugou got up from his seat and hit you hard on the back which made you stop, and though you were thankful the alcohol made you turned to him and pushing him backward. “Don’t hit me” voice stern towards him as the part of your back stung, sore from the sparing earlier that day. “well sorry for helping you, I’ll make sure to let you choke next time, dumb bitch” Bakugou turned around and proceed to sit back down which was useless. You just looked at him as shear rage rushed through you, you and Bakugou didn't really get along when the alcohol was out. “OH I’M THE BITCH, PLEASE LETS SHOW THE CLASS WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR FREE TIME KATSUKI!” You were glaring at him while Mina held you from the waist and Kirishima had his arm over Bakugous chest keeping him to the couch.
“CAN WE NOT FIGHT!'' And the voices that filled the room silenced themselves and looked at who said it. Who knew Todoroki would yell. You "calmed down" by taking another drink of the Tequila and sitting in the circle next to Midorya. “You shouldn’t be drinking, it’s not good for you.” you looked at Midorya and let out a smile. “That’s the point” you took the last swig and put the bottle in the middle of the circle
“Alright, who’s going first!” your voice is loud to cut through the music “can you please be more quiet.” Iida was staring at you with determined eyes “Iida get more punch and shut up, now come on who’s going first!” Mina raised her hand then placed it on the body of the bottle giving it a good turn. It did a few rounds and started to slow down spinning slower and slower than stopping on Uraraka. The two girls got up and walked over to the nearest broom closet laughing a bit before stepping in. You looked at this already knowing about their situationship, though some of the others didn't.
Smiling your hand is the next on the bottle giving it a big spin. “Yo Sero, when we're done here you should let me join your smoke sesh” Sero let out a laugh, “You've drank quite a bit already, maybe if you calm down a little I'll let you join Denki and me later” you flash him a smile and tried to calm down enough to see who the bottle landed on, looking up you saw it was Denki.
You had been too focused on what Sero was suggesting to think that it would land on one of your best friends. When you locked eyes with Denki you felt your face start burning, hoping the others weren't paying enough attention to you to see. You were slowly getting up from your seat before you see Denki's hand in-front of you, offering you help up off the hardwood flood. When you took it, he smiled so brightly, like he'd been waiting to drag you into that extra closet for years. Just like you'd been waiting for the right time to say something.
He quickly closed the door behind him, the two of you smushed together in the small space. “H-hey.” your voice was a little shaky, and the shallow breaths you took warmed the air. Denki's face moved a little to look at you, a smile growing on the few features you could see in the shadowed room. “Hey" he gave a little chuckle, "cant believe I’m stuck in a closet with a cutie like you.” Denki took your hand in his pulling it to his lips, giving it a small peck. It's the same flirting he done with you for years, but recently it's felt more impactful.
Your face started blushing and there was still a part of you that didn't want him to see the affect he has. You pulled your hand back. “When did this type of flirting start?” Maybe it was your drunken state that finally showed you the way that his eyes looked at you with a want, desire. Maybe it was his drunken state that allowed him to lower his walls enough to let you see.
"I told myself I wouldn't do anything stupid if I actually got to this point." His eyes passed over your before he spoke again. "I wasn't sure for a while how I felt, I mean I knew you were pretty" his arm went behind his head sheepishly. "It was a few months ago, I was smoking with Sero on his balcony, I couldn't tell you what we were talking about, stupid stuff I'm sure." You weren't really sure where this was going, but it was starting to sound like the confession you'd been waiting for.
"Anyways that's not the important part, that's when the knock came at the door. Sero got up to see who it was, and from my spot on the balcony I could only see him holding someone, but her crying is what got me instantly to my feet." And you know where the story is going because, it was you who knocked on Sero's door, slightly drunk in your standards. Crying your eyes out after Bakugou had slapped you.
"We haven't talked about it since so I honestly wasn't sure if you were too drunk that night to remember or not, I mean Sero couldn't pull your flask away while you were crying. But I remember it so vividly after we got you to stop crying you wanted to watch the stars, and you pulled the two of us slowly downstairs and outside. And at the time all I wanted to do was make you feel better, and kick Bakugou's ass" he says the last part quitely but you caught it and laugh, but he's right, you don't really remember this part of the night.
"I'm a little nervous to hear what I'm gonna do next, should I be embarrassed?" My words cause a belly laugh to leave him. "Oh no, well I didn't think it was embarrassing." His smile seems cuter than before, and you realize its because it's different from the ones before, he looked nervous for the first time. "Well we're just outside the dorms, looking at the stars for 'bout an hour I think, Sero was so out of it he fell asleep on the grass, so you're talking to me instead of us. Then you stopped looking at the sky even though that's why we were out there, you looked at me instead."
His hands grab at yours, softly. His thumbs rubbing against your skin, the motion making that part on the back of your hand burn. "And the rest of that night you just looked at me. Like the sky didn't matter. After that I haven't been able to see you the same, so yeah. You could say the flirting started a little after that. When I was able to look you in the eyes again without instantly going red."
"I think you still need to work on that part, I can see it now and its pretty dark in here." You tease him because you don't know what to say. When did you start feeling the way you did for him. Was it really that morning after waking up in your bed completely confused as to how you got there, a hangover taking over your senses. Yet placed on your bedside was a bottle of water, a package of ibuprofen, and a note that simply said "Feel better."
"That was you who left me that note?" And all the time that you've honestly thought it was Sero, that's who's dorm room you went to after all. And everything started to click, why he was so awkward, the inside jokes being said between the two boys when you weren't close enough to hear. "Is that okay?" He looked more worried than nervous now but you reassured him, tightening your grip on his hands before letting go "I think it's more than okay, I'm just shocked at everything I'm realizing. That was months ago" you took a second to wipe the sweat that's gathered on your scalp, pushing it back into your hair, and wiping your hands off on your pants.
"I wasn't sure how you and Bakugou were doing and I figured you'd need some time after what he did, so I just did what I could from my position as your friend." Gentle arms embraced you, pulling you into him. "And I'm so sorry I couldn't do more to help you. You did not deserve what Bakugou did."
"Denki?" Your voice it muffled by his chest but its audible and he looks down into your eyes, "yes?" You think of asking but decide the surprise might be worth the reaction. Puling your head away from him, you look up a little, and place your lips on his. You're right about it being worth it as the slight currant of electricity flowed through you, and when you pull away the two of you are giggling to each other. "What does this change?" You had put off dating a while when you finally broke up with Bakugou so this wasn't how you expected things to turn.
Before he can can say anything back there's a bang at the door, followed by the slight drunk voice of Kirishima. "Hey guyys. I think they wanted me to tell you the time was up. It's beeen a bit since we've seen ya so come on out and play the game more" but the thought of playing the game now felt ridiculous, but the two of you made you're way back to the group. The bright light of the living room blinding you.
You sat back down next to Midorya who was now sporting his own cup of the punch but engaging in a conversation about All Might with Bakugou who seemed to actually be listening. The bottle spun, and Ojiro was standing up with Hagakure's floating pajama set. You notice now how Momo and Todoroki are gone, you're guessing in their own closet. You steal a glance at Denki for the first time since you'd left, and his golden yellow eyes meet yours. A blush is forming on his cheeks and most likely yours as well.
The night goes long, you found yourself back in the closet later with a drunk Iida spewing the slight rage he has for the way corrupt hero's have hurt the system but you enjoyed seeing this side cause it was honestly nice to see him loosen up, even if it was a little awkward being so close.
At some point in the circle the others are yawning and calling it a night. You get up yourself, as the sleep starts making your eyes close on their own as if weight had been added. Saying goodnight to those around you catch Denki's attention and find him also turning in for the night, him catching up to you as you climbed the staircase. "I was thinking, tomorrow maybe the two of us could go get something to drink and figure..stuff out?" His pearly white teeth shinning despite the dim lighting.
"I'd love to…meet me at my dorm around 3?"
