Later that day, as they all gathered in the common area after class, Kirishima decided it was time to confront their feelings head-on. "Mina," he said boldly, "we've been thinking… Maybe we could all hang out together? Just the three of us?" Bakugo shot him a glare that could burn through steel but stayed silent for now. Mina's eyes sparkled with interest. "Like a date?" she asked playfully. Kirishima nodded enthusiastically while Bakugo rolled his eyes but felt an odd flutter in his stomach at the thought. "Sure! Let's do it!" Mina exclaimed, oblivious to the tension crackling between the boys. As they made plans for their outing that weekend, both boys felt an electric thrill course through them—an uncharted territory filled with potential love and heated competition.
