《Pandora's Gift》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Sakaki was still tense as they left her apartment and made their way out of the older building. She completely expected at least one of the two men to say something. She wasn't an idiot, she knew their noses worked, they had to be able to smell her all over the apartment and the fact that she was an omega. And yet neither said anything. Which surprised her. Sure Kirishima was a gentleman and she never expected him to say a word. But Bakugou was another story, the man was an asshole. This would have given him the perfect thing to hold above her head and use against her. And yet the blonde just shoved his hands into his pants pockets and didn't say a word as the trio walked and Kirishima was once again happy to gossip about their friends and classmates and what had been happening in the last few years.
It was oddly soothing being able to talk so freely with Kirishima as she ignored the angry dog that was tailing them with his hands stuffed in his pockets and his angry scowl on his face. But even he seemed able to behave himself simply looking like he didn't care and wasn't listening even though he actually was listening to his two coworkers.
It wasn't till they reached a rather familiar little cozy restaurant that the three walked in. Well it was familiar for Bakugou and Kirishima as they had enjoyed the little hidden peace of heaven they had found. Sakaki hadn't even noticed the little place tucked away along the busy street. Almost made her feel bad she had lived in the area for so long and she had never noticed the little place.
The three were greeted by an older gentleman who was quick to lead them to a little corner booth as Bakugou sat across from her and Kirishima beside her. Now she was boxed in, a wall on one side, Kirishima on the other and Bakugou in front of her. She would have had to flip backwards out of the chair to get away from them if anything happened.
They were friends, or at least Kirishima was. So why did her skin crawl at the thought that she was caged in between the men and the wall? Now she was just being weird and she knew it but still it felt odd being stuck between the two.
It was easy to tell the two had eaten here a time or two as Bakugou didn't even touch his menu as he was glaring holes into the wall beside them, Kirishima glanced at his though still seemed to know what he was going to get.
"Do you know what you're gonna get?" Kirishima asked with a wide toothy grin on his face.
"Yeah, I'm gonna go with a miso ramen," she said after thinking over the question for a split second before she answered. To which Kirishima gave a simple nod that smile never left his lips. Did his face ever get sore smiling so much? Then again the man always was a bundle of sunshine it seemed.
A waiter quickly took their orders and of course Bakugou went with the spiciest option. She didn't even get a chance to look over and see what Kirishima had ordered as their dishes were quickly brought out. A bonus of the place being so empty at the current late hour.
"Jeez Bakugou what the hell did you order? My eyes are watering from over here," Sakaki said, unable to help the dramatic expression and tone as she teased Bakugou for his love of extremely spicy food. It made her think of one night in the UA dorms where Kaminari had stolen a bite of Bakugou's homemade ramen and the poor kid downed 3 glasses of water and nearly had smoke coming from his ears before Momo corrected him that he needed to drink milk to help the burning not water.

"Oh shut up. You're not the one eating it so don't bitch," he growled at her which just had her laughing at him. He never did take teasing well and his outbursts were often entertaining at least.
"She's got a point Bakugou that bowl smells hella spicy from even across the table," Kirishima said joining with with a low hearty chuckle as he watched his friend proceed to then grab a large mouthful of the noodles before slurping them up as he scowled at the two people sitting across from him. This just had Sakaki giggling softly in her own hand as if that may somehow save her from being noticed, before she turned her attention to her own bowl happily starting to eat her meal.
So much for being mature adults, it truly felt like for a moment she was sitting among her classmates back in the UA dorms listening to friends chat and tease each other. Usually she would have watched Mina tease Bakugou while either Denki, Sero or Kirishima would join in. It felt nice knowing she was the one joining in for once.
Kirishima was more than happy to engage in a little small talk in between mouthfuls after Bakugou had scolded him once for talking with his mouthful. The duo was rather interesting to watch. Kirishima was so outgoing and kind while Bakugou sat back simply listening, not saying anything unless he really felt the need to. And often it was with an outburst of anger.
It had her wondering as to when was the last time she went out for dinner? Often she just ate a quick meal at home alone. She had a small handful of non hero friends she had gained since leaving UA but her hero job often made it hard to hang out with them since she worked a lot longer hours than they did. So it was nice sitting there even if Bakugou didn't really interact with her, his presence was still oddly soothing.
Both guys were nice to be with even as the dishes were emptied, glasses empty and ice melting in them. She almost wanted to ask if they wanted to get drinks maybe somewhere else. But then again she was going to be working with the two men a lot for the next bit and she imagined the angry pomeranian would very quickly get sick of her. So she didn't want to press her luck and was happy to end the evening on a good note as the three slowly got up from their seats. Sakaki reached into her back pocket to pull out her money and pay but Kirishima was quick to put a stop to that.
"Hey now don't do that. Put your wallet away. This is my treat. After all I'm the one who wanted to go out for dinner," Kirishima said quickly as he spotted her wallet in her hand.
"Are you sure? I don't mind paying for my own meal," she said softly, as she hesitated as she stood there fully ready and willing to pay for her own meal.
"You got cotton in your ears dumb ass? Your money is no good here," was the bark that came from the scowling blonde. Sakaki scrunched up her nose a little at the insult and not being allowed to pay for her meal. And yet another part of her was far too pleasantly happy to know neither man would let her pay and they both were happy to cover her meal.
"Fine but I'm getting the next meal," she said with a huff even though she could tell by the look both men shot her that she was not going to be allowed to pay for the next meal either. And yet why did it warm her heart so much to feel like there was going to be a next time, that this was not the last time she was going to eat with both or either of the men.

So she gave in as she huffed softly to herself and stuffed her wallet back into her back pocket. After all, it wouldn't do her any good arguing with both men over something as simple as buying her supper. And she had long since learned you never wanted to pick a fight with Bakugou. Kirishima would be one thing but Bakugou was another. Once the meals were paid for, the three headed out of the restaurant.
"Well thank you both again for the food. It was good even though I'm pretty sure Bakugou's made my nose water from across the table," she said trying to bite back the urge to laugh as he turned on her and proceeded to tell her she had no good taste in food. Kirishima was trying not to either knowing he didn't want his friend's violent attitude turned on him next. But that didn't truly stop the soft shake of his shoulders.
"It was our pleasure. You know every second weekend we all get together. We game and eat a little junk food, often some booze is involved too. Mina, Sero, Denki, sometimes Hitoshi when Denki can force him out, Jirou tries to make it but her schedule seems the worst to work with weekend get-togethers. It's a hell of a lot of fun. I bet everyone would love to see you again. You should come join us," she should have seen that coming. He also used to invite her to the same get-togethers the group would have when they lived in the dorm. Seems their gaming weekend get-togethers were still going strong even eight years later.
"I see you guys haven't changed much. Does Bakugou still melt the controllers?" She asked, smirking playfully, not completely agreeing or disagreeing. But she couldn't help but tease the blonde remembering how Denki and Kirishima used to horse controllers for their consoles because Bakugou would get so worked up he would melt the plastic controllers.
"He's not as bad at it anymore," Kirishima said with a chuckle as Bakugou yelled at both of them to shut the fuck to which only made both parties laugh even harder.
"Sure I'll join one weekend. But I better head home, it's getting late," she said, realizing all three were just standing around outside the restaurant.
"Let us walk you home. After all, what men would we be if we let a young woman walk home alone in the middle of the night?" He questioned flashing her that million dollar smile he always had. It just melted her heart and she could not deny him.
"You know I'm a pro hero. Someone would have to be stupid to try and mug me," she said lightly before she started to walk towards her home expecting the two to tail after her anyways.
"Just shut up and let us walk you home dumb ass," was the growl that came from Bakugou which actually surprised both her and Kirishima.
"Oh wow Bakugou can be a gentleman?" Sakaki didn't even hide the surprise in her voice but also a slight teasing tone as she burst out laughing as he turned to scowl at the woman who was walking ahead of him. Laughing she threw a wide grin over her shoulder at the two men who were walking behind her. She didn't even notice the light blush that covered both men's cheeks.
With her long dark hair left loose it was free to flow around her face as she looked back laughing over her shoulder. Her bangs swept over her eyes a little before she pushed the hair out of her eyes. Dark brown eyes shimmered playfully as she looked over her shoulder at both men.
The fact that the blonde man had remained quiet was a surprise to his red headed friend who once he was able to pull his attention away from the woman turned to watch his friend's reaction. Kirishima had to bite back the urge to laugh, his friend was smitten and he knew it. Though the fact that the blonde would probably never admit it was annoying for the red head to deal with.
The walk back had grown a little silent as both men let the woman lead the way back to her little apartment. Kirishima would glance at his friend to watch his friends eyes not even hiding the fact he was watching the woman's ass as she walked. Then again even Kirishima couldn't deny Sakaki had a near perfect figure eight figure. A dainty waist with nice wide hips. Good birthing hips if Kirishima could say so himself. And if he thought so then it was most likely Bakugou would think the same. The duo shared a lot of similar tastes in women so it felt rare when the blonde and redhead didn't both find a woman attractive. Though Bakugou would probably never admit it out loud, Kirishima knew the man found a strong independent woman more appealing than a woman who just tossed herself at him. Though Kirishima liked his woman a bit more bubbly and happy than he figured the blonde would like. It was probably the biggest difference in their taste in women.
Kirishima's assumptions were not wrong. Bakugou would never admit it but he did find the woman walking ahead of him attractive. Her ass was nice and round, wide hips made it look like her waist was tiny. Even the way her hips swayed as she walked was nearly hypnotic. It wasn't till her head would glance back over her shoulder that both men's eyes would dart away not wanting to be spotted watching her ass as she walked.
"What's the plan for tomorrow?" She decided to talk about work as it felt awkward just walking in silence with the two men a few steps behind her. The street where nearly so as she asked her question she turns to face them while walking backwards. Bakugou scowled at her for the childish antics though it was also because he couldn't blatantly watch her ass now.
"Same as today I'll be doing patrols and you two will be staking out that warehouse," Kirishima answered her question. And both men proceeded to watch the woman pout as she didn't like that idea.
"Ugh but stake outs are so boring," she whined softly.
"Oh you'll live. Stop complaining," snapped Bakugou as he growled at her.
"But I'm used to fighting villains, helping little old ladies. I'm not made to sit on my ass all day," she whined like she had earlier while they were getting back to the agency after the hours spent watching the warehouse.
"Miroku kept you busy huh?" Kirishima asked quickly, trying to change the subject as he watched Bakugou quickly growing irritated as they walked.
"Yes. We trained every morning. Then we would go out and patrol for ten hours. Do a bit of paperwork. Not a lot of paperwork is done, Miruko tends to ditch that on her sidekicks. Often we would train some more before heading home," she answered honestly. Really it was a surprise she wasn't burnt out with all the work that Miruko put her through. But that's what kept her getting up in the morning nice and early, and working her ass off. Miruko was amazing to work with and it really didn't feel like she was even working most days.
"Oh wow Miruko really puts you through the ringer every day," Kirishima said, surprised to hear she worked so hard. Yet she wasn't a top ranking pro but she still worked so hard. It almost made the red head feel guilty he was sitting in a top ten position.
"Yeah but I wouldn't ask for it any other way. Working for Miruko is just amazing," Sakaki answered before she turned back around facing the correct way as she spotted her apartment building come into view.
"I bet. Almost makes me jealous," Kirishima said with an innocent wide smile as he ran his fingers through his spiked red hair. Sakaki chuckled lightly as she listened to the man say he was jealous of her working for Miruko.
"Yeah but you're a top ten pro. You have nothing to be jealous of," she said with a light chuckle as she slowed down as she started to approach her front door.
"Well this is my place. Thanks again for supper," she said, flashing both men a wide grin. Kirishima was quick to return a wide smile while Bakugou just scuffed at her.
"Good night," she said with a wave as she turned and walked in through the main lobby of her apartment.
"Good night," Kirishima was the only one to give her a reply before the door closed behind her.
Sakaki smiled happily to herself as she took the stairs, flying up them with a feeling like she still had fair to much energy for the given hour in the evening. Hopefully running up her stairs would help burn a little of that energy she felt, or it was going to give her cramps from running right after eating but she wasn't too worried. It was only a few stairs and she needed an outlet for the energy.
Once she reached her apartment door she was a little out of breath but not bad. After all she was used to taking the stairs only ever using the elevator when she was hurt or too exhausted. Stepping into her home she took a deep breath before sliding her shoes off and changing them for some slippers before making her way into her little home. It wasn't hard to notice that both men's scents still lingered around her doorway. But by the time she reached her bedroom their scents were just lingering thoughts in her mind.
Once in her bedroom she happily stripped out of her clothes more than happy to toss on a large baggy t-shirt and some little shorts before she crawled into her bed happily welcoming the mountain of pillows and blankets. She grabbed one of her softest pillows pulling it into her chest as she cuddled with it. She had actually had fun with the two former classmates. Oddly enough even Bakugou had been fun to be around. Sure he was still explosive but he wasn't a done right ass hat about anything, after all he only got explosive when she teased him. So her poking the bear really shouldn't count towards him being an ass.
She couldn't remember the blonde being so easy to get along with when they were in school. What changed? Had the blonde simply simmered down at least a little? Maybe, no that had to be it he just simply wasn't as bad as he once was that had to be it. But still it made her wonder as she curled up cuddling the pillow as her eyes drifted shut and she welcomed an early night. After all it wasn't often she got to bed before midnight.
