Title: The Morning After
Mina Ashido, Bakugo Katsuki, and Eijiro Kirishima had always shared an unshakeable bond since their high school days at U.A. They had pushed each other to become the heroes they were today, but now as college students, their passions had branched out beyond hero training. Mina was immersed in a vibrant dance program, Kirishima thrived on the baseball team, and Bakugo committed himself to wrestling, fueling his fiery spirit. Their camaraderie grew ever stronger as they juggled academics, sports, and the unmistakable thrill of youth.
One fateful weekend, Mina invited her friends over to her dorm for a night of fun, laughter, and truth or dare. As the three of them settled in with drinks and snacks, the mood quickly lightened. The music thumped in the background, and as they began to sip on their drinks, the games rolled into playful banter.
"Alright, I'll go first!" Mina declared, eyes sparkling with mischief. She aimed the first question at Kirishima. "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare!" he exclaimed, bursting with confidence.
"I dare you to chug your drink! The whole thing!" she challenged, laughing as he obliged, tilting back the bottle before slamming it down.
The game continued, laughter echoing through the room, their spirits lifted by the alcohol. It was all in good fun until the rules shifted, and the game morphed into "Strip Truth or Dare." The thought made Mina giggle, the cheeky edge adding to the excitement.
It started innocently enough. Kirishima was dared to wear a silly hat for the next round, and Bakugo was forced to share a secret. When it became Mina's turn again, she grinned mischievously. "Bakugo, truth or dare?"
"Truth," he said, crossing his arms defensively.
"Who's your crush?" she blurted out, and for a brief moment, the room went silent. Bakugo's face flushed a deep pink, a storm gathering in his fiery eyes.
"Pass," he replied curtly, but the challenge hung heavy in the air.
"Then you have to strip!" Mina announced, laughter bubbling from her lips.
"I swear, you're all idiots… Fine!" Bakugo growled, pulling off his shirt. Kirishima cheered as Mina clapped, their voices a blur of merry energy fueled by the drinks.
The game continued, and as the booze flowed, more clothes came off, unraveling their inhibitions. Soon, they were all left in varying degrees of undress: Mina in a red bra and matching thong, Kirishima in his undershirt and boxers, and Bakugo sporting only his boxers and an undershirt that hugged his muscular frame.
"What a wild night!" Kirishima giggled, his face flushed from both alcohol and the atmosphere, his head spinning in delight.
As the clock struck three in the morning, amidst the chaotic giggles and teasing dares, confessions began to spill out. With every truth revealed, strange feelings surfaced, and what started as random dares became heartful confessions.
"I've always thought you two were… well, amazing," Bakugo stumbled through his words, a rare glint of vulnerability shining in his eyes. "Like, really amazing."
"Shut up, you jerk! We're amazing together!" Mina shot back, her voice teetering between jest and sincerity.
Kirishima was buoyed by the sincerity, leaning in. "What about being more than just friends? Maybe a poly relationship?"
The words hung in the air, electrifying. Mina and Bakugo exchanged shocked glances, their minds racing, but there was also a comforting warmth in the moment. Slowly, they began to discuss the boundaries and feelings that had silenced them for so long.
But as the night progressed, sleep overtook them, the alcohol luring them into a deep slumber, unaware of what the morning would bring.
When sunlight finally seeped into the room, the trio stirred, groaning as their hangovers set in. They blinked at one another, eyes wide and panic setting in as they realized they were sprawled together in nothing but their underwear.
"Guys! What happened?" Mina squeaked, sitting upright, her heart pounding.
"Relax, we just passed out. Nothing happened," Bakugo chuckled, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth, his confidence shining through despite the awkwardness.
"About last night…" Kirishima began, scratching the back of his head, still trying to piece together the events.
"Yes! The confessions!" Mina choked out, suddenly aware of the intensity of their previous conversations.
Bakugo's gaze darted between the two of them as he muttered, "So, are we actually thinking of trying this…?"
Kirishima nodded seriously. "I think we should at least talk about it more. We all care about each other too much to let this go."
Mina, still nursing her headache, added, "Yeah, boundaries and stuff. But I really like the idea… you guys are not just my best friends, you're everything to me."
As they discussed their feelings over breakfast—a brunch of greasy food perfect for hangovers—the laughter and chatter filled the room again, lightening the earlier tension.
By the time they finished, they had set established boundaries and begun their steps into a new kind of relationship, where friendship and love intertwined seamlessly. The sun streamed through the windows, marking not just a new day but the beginning of something deeper and wonderfully complicated.
As the three of them prepared to face the day, they couldn't help but be filled with excitement. Because they were no longer just friends—they were something more, ready to embark on a journey together, whatever it might bring.
