The Bet

It was a Friday night in the dorms after a particularly long week at school. Class 1A sat around in the common area, playing Truth or Dare. Or, that's how it had started. Now, the rules weren't being followed as strictly, and many of the students were having separate, side conversations. Overall, they were just having a good, relaxing time. That was, until Kaminari asked Bakugo, "Truth or Dare?" Of course, most of them were expecting the answer to be Dare. What they weren't prepared for was the explosive boy choosing Truth.

"Truth." He hadn't even given it a second thought. He was tired from the week he had had, and wasn't thinking that this was going to be much of anything. He had nothing to hide from his classmates, he already knew he was the best at everything. That was no secret. Then why did he find himself struggling with answering Kaminari's question.

"Okay, man. Truth: Do you like anybody in the class?" Everybody got quiet, eyeing Bakugo, almost afraid to hear the answer. Come to think of it, none of class 1A had ever seen Bakugo act bashful or affectionate towards anybody, much less admit he had romantic feelings for them. They also realized they had assumed that Bakugo was straight, but what if he wasn't? There were so many unanswered questions stemming from the fact that most of them had just assumed Bakugo would end up alone forever, seeing as he didn't show anybody any kind of extra attention.

"Dare." Was the response he gave. There was a chorus of "Ooooooooh's" and "Noooooo, you can't change!" that pissed Bakugo off. He decided not to answer at all, got up, and stalked off to his room for the night. He didn't owe them any answers.

As soon as he was gone, the class began quietly murmuring to themselves about Bakugo.

"Nah, don't do my man like that!" Kaminari exclaimed towards Ashido.

"I'm just saying!" She defended herself. The rest of the class was now curious as to what had been said.

"It would make sense if he were gay. Most all boys our age are all over us girls! He doesn't pay any attention to us at all. It's honestly a bit insulting." Ashido said, crossing her arms over her chest in defiance.

"There is no way a man like him is gay!" Kirishima exclaimed.

"Au contraire, then why is he never drooling over all of the gorgeous ladies here whenever they're in their delicious hero costumes...?" Mineta drooled at just the thought.

"Let's make a bet, then! This is completely voluntary to participate in, but Bakugo can't know about it, whether you're in it or not!" Kaminari decided. The rest of the class hesitated, waiting for an explanation.

"It's simply. We each take turns flirting with him. He obviously likes somebody in the class, but we don't know who! We each get a day in which we lay it on him, however we see fit. The rest of the class will observe, and we will take note of how he reacts! But he can't know we're doing this. Everybody has to be in agreeance here before we dismiss!" Kaminari sounded like he meant business. There were a few nods, and a few who said they would rather not try their luck with flirting with Bakugo.

In the end, they were split into two groups. Midoriya, Kaminari, Kirishima, Sero, Ashido, Uraraka, Jiro, Todoroki, Hagakure, Aoyama and Yaoyorozu all decided they would take a chance at flirting with Bakugo. On the flip side, Asui, Iida, Ojiro, Koda, Sato, Shoji, Tokoyami, and Mineta all decided to only be observers.

"So, are we betting on who we think it is?" Sero asked. There was some mumbling, but Kaminari finally held his hands up for order.

"Of course!" He grinned devilishly. There was a lot of discussion, but finally, there were three betting pools. One pool for the people betting on the fact that Bakugo was obviously straight. One pool for the people betting on the fact that Bakugo was obviously gay. Then Ashido had her own betting pool. She had a theory that Bakugo had a thing for Kirishima only. She was so confident in this that she told the entire class that she would take them out for ramen if she was wrong. If she was right, all the money they bet into their perspective pools went to her.

The one thing they were in agreeance on, however, was that Bakugo could never find out what they were up to. Certain, inevitable death awaited them if the explosive boy found out, and none of them wanted to die.

A/N: After this chapter, each chapter will be in the P.O.V of the person attempting to flirt with Bakugo, and occasionally Bakugo's P.O.V (maybe, depending on how the story flows from here.)
