Thanks so much for all the support on this book, guys! I love you all 💕 

In this chapter, we see Todoroki and Bakugou have their BACHELOR PARTYYY!

sorry.

ANYWAY

QOTD: What's your favorite cultural food? (Indian, Japanese, etc)

Mine's Chinese, mmm. I'm actually half Chinese!

On to the story!

"What do you think Izuku's doing right now?" Todoroki asked as they sped along the highway. 

"Tch. With that car they picked him up with, they're probably having their hair done, or shopping, or manicures~" Bakugou mocked. 

They had been picked up in a black limo blasting rap music at full volume. Now the rest of the  self-proclaimed "Bakusquad"(minus Sero, the only one besides Todoroki and Kirishima with a license to drive) were watching Mina and Kaminari scream-sing stupid karaoke songs.

"I wiinnn!" Mina shouted after her score was tallied.

"No fair..." Kaminari pouted.

Sero pulled up in front of a dark building. It was night, around 8 o clock. 

Neon signs lit it up. "Jesus Christ, did you actually fucking take us to a strip club?" Bakugou groaned, internally panicking.

"Nah, man, it's just a bar." Kirishima climbed out, followed by the rest. 

"You're too uptight! It's a karaoke bar, get loose! Relax a bit!" Kaminari finger gunned cringily.

"Please never do that again." Bakugou grumped. "I hate karaoke."

"Babe, you hate everything. Give it a try." Todoroki joked.

"I don't hate you or Izuku." Bakugou showed a rare soft moment before walking inside. 

Todoroki smiled softly, then followed.

Loud music blared, people were dancing and there was a six-people-long wait for the karaoke. A short-haired blonde girl with space buns was singing on stage. She had a high but good voice.

hMmM

Kaminari led them to the bar counter, where they all grabbed seats.

"What will ya'll be havin' today?" The bartender, a smiling woman with a slight Southern accent who looked to be in her thirties, asked.

"Four shots of the hardest stuff you got." Kaminari elbowed Sero and they both snickered.

"A margarita, please." Todoroki answered.

"I'll have a Bud Light." Bakugou huffed.

"A martini, please!" Mina giggled.

"I don't really drink. Besides, somebody's gotta drive us back." Kirishima apologized. 

A true good boi

The bartender nodded, then bustled to the back to mix the drinks.

They chatted for a bit until their beverages came, watching the karaoke stage, which now was occupied by a black-haired man that seemed to have several purple scars all over his body.

hMMmmM

"Here you go!" The bartender handed the drinks over, passing Mina.

"Oh, yeah!" Sero grabbed two shots of a colorless, strong-smelling liquid. 

Kaminari grabbed the other two. They both grinned impishly.

"Mina, record!" The yellow-haired boy yelled. 

Mina grabbed her phone and gave a thumbs-up. Bakugou rolled his eyes.

"Don't come whining to me when you have a fucking intense hangover." He warned.

Both boys downed their glasses, one after the other. Mina watched intently, smirking.

"Wait for it." She whispered to Todoroki.

"What?" Todoroki asked.

"I slipped a really powerful laxative in there. Combined with the alcohol, that'll be..." She made an explosion motion with her hands and the dual-haired boy paled noticeably.

"Uh, you sure that was a good idea?" He leaned away from the two.

Sero and Kaminari swayed. Bakugou was starting to get worried. "Um, you fuckers good?"

In unison, they jumped out of their seats. 

Mina snickered.

"MINAAAAA!" Sero bellowed, and the pink-haired girl busted out laughing. 

The two boys raced to the bathroom, screaming.

Mina ended the recording, smugly smiling. "That'll teach them not to swap my shampoo  with superglue." 

"Are the, er, effects, permanent?" Todoroki cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Nah, they'll be back in"-Mina checked her watch-"six minutes and twenty-seven seconds." 

Bakugou and Kirishima winced on Kaminari and Sero's behalf.

"Anyway," Mina continued, sipping her drink, "I'm gonna get in line for the karaoke!"

"We'll cheer you on, Mina!" Kirishima smiled brightly.

Mina skipped away towards the line. There were three people until her turn.

"Why don't you go sing, Bakubro?" Kirishima nudged the blonde boy.

"Fuck no." Bakugou sipped his beer.

"Aww, come on, please?" He begged.

"No." Bakugou said with an air of finality.

"It might be fun, babe," Todoroki nudged.

Bakugou glared at Todoroki, and the taller boy stared back. Kirishima glanced uncomfortably between the two.

Finally, Bakugou broke his gaze, and his ears turned red. 

"F-Fine. But you will regret this later."

Shoto just grinned.

Bakugou went off into the line, to Mina's surprised excitement.

At that moment, Hanta and Denki came back.

"Ughhhh, I'm never trusting Mina again," Kaminari groaned, holding his stomach.

"Yeah..."

"Look, she's about to sing!" Kirishima exclaimed.

Mina ran onstage to whoops and whistles from the Bakusquad and even a grudging clap from Bakugou.

She burst into a rousing rendition of "Kill this Love" by Blackpink. The pink-haired girl even burst into a couple of moves from the music video to whoops from the enthusiastic crowd.

Okay but I lOve that song

AND I KNOW IT'S K-POP AND THERE'S ENGLISH AND THIS STORY IS SET IN JAPAN

but idc 

I FEEL LIKE MINA WOULD BE SUCH A BLINK

The audience was on their feet, singing along and clapping, the Bakusquad was cheering their hearts out, and Katsuki was actually smiling proudly.

She ended her song to whoops and cheers. Flouncing offstage, and high-fiving strangers, she sat back down with a squeal.

"That was so much fun!" She settled in. "Ready for Blonde Beauty to sing?" She nudged Kaminari, and he snickered, apparently forgiving her for her prank.

Kirishima had his camera ready. "This is gonna be good."

"Have you ever heard him sing?" Todoroki asked. He hadn't.

"Once, and I cried." The red-haired man answered, pressing record.

Bakugou made eye contact with Todoroki, smiling softly, and then the music started.

"What would I do without your smart mouth, drawing me in, and you kicking me out," Katsuki's smooth, heart-pulling baritone soared over the crowd.

A hush fell over the room as they listened to this beautiful voice.

"My head's under water, but I'm breathing fine, you're crazy and I'm out of my mind," Bakugou sang on. 

"'Cause all of me, loves all of you,"

"Love your curves and your edges,"

"All your perfect imperfections,"

Todoroki was breathless. He never felt luckier than he did in that moment to have met Katsuki Bakugou.

"Give your all to me, I'll give my all to you,"

"You're my end and my beginning, even when I lose I'm winning," The spiky-haired blonde sang his heart out.

He sang beautifully for the rest of the song. When the final notes petered out, there was a stunned silence, and then a resounding, thunderous, round of applause.

Bakugou slouched back off stage, heading for his seat.

"That was amazing, Bakubro!" Kirishima wiped tears from his eyes.

Kaminari and Sero were full-on weeping loudly, and Mina just looked like she would burst with pride.

Todoroki just stared. His heart felt like it would burst out of his chest.

"Tch. Whatever." Bakugou waved his hand in front of his fiancé's face. 

"Shoto? Babe? You okay?" He asked nervously.

Todoroki made his decision. He stood up, grabbed the surprised boy, dipped him, and kissed him soundly. 

He then set the spiky-haired boy back on his feet. "I had to do that."

Then he sat back down, leaving Bakugou red as a cherry and gasping like a fish.

"Uh-I-" Katsuki sat down dizzily to Mina's intense fangirling. 

They chatted for a while longer, ordering more drinks, with Kirishima thankfully staying sober.

They also sent the video of Bakugou to Midoriya, who sent back a picture of his incredibly flustered face, which Todoroki and Bakugou both had a good chuckle at.

Finally, they hopped back in the limo to go home to the waiting Izuku.

Ask Bakugou nodded off in the back of the car, he whispered sleepily,

"Hey, Icy-Hot?"

"Yes?" Todoroki answered.

"I love you." Katsuki fell asleep with a smile on his face.

"I love you too."

HoO-eEee this was a LONG-ASS chapter
