smiling in satisfaction as she realized everything was almost ready.

"Everything okay?" Kaminari asked, from below, holding the ladder steady so she wouldn't fall.

"Yes, now stop looking up my skirt," [Name] rolled her eyes, stepping down. The room was decorated in orange, black, and green streamers. A giant banner was displayed at the front of the UA common room.

"Is that really okay? What if he gets mad?" Midoriya said nervously, pointing out how the banner said 'Baku-hoe' (and not Bakugo).

"Then we say it's a typo!" [Name] grinned. She then turned her attention to Kirishima and Ochaco, who were carefully carrying a life-size piece of cardboard.

"We just put the finishing touches on it!" Ochaco grinned, as she and Kirishima set the cutout down. Everyone gathered around and widened their eyes, because it actually turned out nice.

Every student in class 1-a had been assigned one specific square on the cutout to personalize. For example, Ochaco got a region on Bakugo's face, so she drew a blush and wholesome heart emojis around it.

[Name], of course, got his ass, and what a great friend she was, because she made it phat.

"It's perfect! He's going to love it!" Kirishima laughed, high-fiving [Name] for thinking of the idea.

"Why is he double caked up though?" Todoroki questioned, cocking his head while staring at cardboard Bakugo's a$$.

"Speaking of cake, Mineta, have you gotten the cake from the bakery yet?" Midoriya asked.

"I tried, but the lady said I had to be older than 10, and then I said I was 16 and took out my debit card and so she called the police on me for tax fraud. My court hearing is tomorrow..."

"E," Mina said, because let's be honest. Mineta doesn't deserve an F.

Midoriya turned to [Name] to see her nervously pulling at her hair. He knew how important it was to her to get this day perfect, although he would never understand why, because it was Bakugo of all people.

Whatever it was, he didn't want to see her stressed.

"It's okay, [Name]! Don't worry! You and I will get the cake, and we'll leave Mina, Tsuyu, Ochaco, and Kaminari in charge of decorations while everyone else can get Paintball ready! Please don't get stressed!" He said assuringly, pulling the girl aside by her arm gently.

"Okay, okay.. Sounds good. What about Bakugo? It's almost 5:00, and he comes home from training at 5:30... " [Name] said, checking her phone.

"Don't worry, if we need more time, one of us can go hang out with Bakugo to distract him." Midoriya nodded. "Anything to make sure he doesn't come back to the dorms."

"It's beautiful!" [Name] wiped away a tear as she stared at the cake in her hands. It was a large, multiple tier cake. The layers were alternating colors of green, orange, and black. The frosted glaze on top was beautiful and glittery.

The cake itself was a rather specific flavor; it was a cozy and wholesome spice cake that reminded [Name] of a warm, autumn day.

Different, edible decorations of Bakugo's favorite heroes were perched around the sides of the cake tiers.

At the top, a large, fondant grenade stood in front of a godly picture of Bakugo fortnite dancing in the corner of a hospital.

"I got the balloons!" Deku grinned, walking out behind [Name]. The balloons were also adorable and hero-based.

"Um, did you have to get an Eraserhead one? It's gonna feel like he's watching my every move..." [Name] shuddered, looking up at the chibi-like Aizawa balloon, and then sneezed violently.

"Bruh, bless you." Izuku said.

"Shit!" [Name] cursed upon seeing a puff of fluffy, blonde hair emerging down the street.

The [h/c] haired girl shoved Izuku into an alleyway (😔). She then handed him the cake quickly.

"I'll take care of him, okay? Just make sure everyone is ready by like, 6:00." [Name] said quickly, and then walked away.

_

"What the fuck?" Bakugo wrinkled his nose as he saw [Name] walk out of a random ass alleyway.

[Name] smiled at the blonde, but took notice that Bakugo's eyes looked red, bloodshot, and puffy.

"Bakugo...." [Name] glared at him, leaning in. Bakugo furrowed his eyebrows and leaned back, blushing furiously.

Is this it? Is this the moment where we finally fucking kiss?

[Name] then snorted and poked Bakugo's chest.

"HaVE YOu BeEn SMoKing WeEd? I mean I KNOW that it's 4/20, but-"

"NO, YOU IDIOT!" Bakugo roared, huffing and walking away, his heart hurting slightly at the fact that she didn't notice.

"Where are ya going?" [Name] drawled, walking behind him. She tried her best to stay happy and unsuspicious, but she could tell that Bakugo had been upset and shed a few tears earlier.

However, she knew that if she pointed it out, he would be angry with her. [Name]'s chest hurt badly as she tried to fight the urge to hug him and tell him, 'happy birthday, none of us forgot.' but she knew it would ruin the surprise, so she kept calm.

"To the dorms," Bakugo huffed. "So I can eat and sleep."

"Oh nooo you don't!" [Name]'s soft hands grabbed his shoulders and turned him around.

"Hey, what the hell-"

"Come on, I'm taking you somewhere special." [Name] winked. Bakugo blushed and stared at the [h/c] haired girl for a few seconds as the two walked along, [Name]'s arm linked in Bakugo's.

Does she remember? Whatever, I don't care. It's not like those stupid extras are my friends, anyways. B̶e̶s̶i̶d̶e̶s̶,̶ ̶I̶'̶v̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶e̶n̶ ̶1̶5̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶3̶ ̶f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶s̶.̶ ̶

The two finally arrived on a large cliff that overlooked the city. The sky's colors were in between sunset and darkness, and the city below was busy and bright. [Name] sat down and signaled Bakugo to sit down, patting the spot next to her, aiming to waste time so that everyone could get ready.

Surprisingly, the boy obliged, sitting down. There were a few seconds of silence, as the two teens stared at the city, until Bakugo spoke.

"[Name], not that I care," Bakugo huffed. "But we've seriously been friends since childhood, how could you not kn-"

"BAKUGO! How about we play a game called, um, let's sit here in silence forever!" [Name] sweat nervously, trying to change the subject.

"This is stupid." Bakugo grumbled, but obliged and sat behind the [h/c] haired girl, casually braiding flowers into her hair.

He was slightly confused as to why the odd, [h/c] haired girl that he had come to love so much was dragging him to a random place just to be silent, but he didn't mind, as long as he was near her.

Maybe the fact that nobody remembered won't matter, because I really just wanted to spend time with [Name] today...

[Name] suddenly sneezed violently again, which lightly activated her plasma quirk on her palms, as she almost fell off the cliff.

"Oof," the girl snorted, as Bakugo widened his eyes and grabbed her by the waist.

"OOF?! YOU ALMOST FELL TO YOUR DEATH AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?!" Bakugo's jaw dropped.

As [Name] laughed, Bakugo examined the girl. She had dark bags under her eyes, her [s/c] nose was slightly redder than usual, and she looked fatigued.

"Come on." Bakugo said gruffly, pulling the girl to her feet.

"What?" [Name] panicked. "No, I think we should sit here in awkward silence for some more tim-"

"No, you obviously need rest, so I'm taking you back to the dorms." Bakugo stated, and before [Name] had time to protest, the boy was stubbornly walking back towards UA.

[Name] frantically texted Izuku, but he wasn't replying. She could only pray that everything was ready before the two walked into the UA common room.

"..."

"WHY THE FUCK IS IT SO FUCKING DARK?!" Bakugo roared, trying to feel his way around the common room for the light. Finally, he found it, switched it on, and...

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BAKUGO (hoe)!!!" Multiple screams from the small common room yelled, as people jumped out from various spaces behind sofas and counters.

[Name] breathed a sigh of relief as everything seemed to be in order. The cake was displayed in the front, the last of the decorations were put up neatly, and the large Bakugo cardboard cutout was wrapped so that he couldn't see it yet.

Bakugo nearly pissed his pants in surprise, because well, it was a surprise to him, as he thought everyone forgot about his birthday. Shocked, he could only stand there as his classmates crowded around him and gave him hugs and wished him.

"Who the fuck did this?" Bakugo said, breathless. Kirishima grinned and gestured towards [Name].

"We all helped, but it was all her idea!" Kirishima grinned. Bakugo then turned towards [Name] and glared at her, a dark aura surrounding him. He stomped up to the [h/c] girl.

"KACCHAN, NO, NOT THE KIDS!!!" Midoriya shrieked, but Kirishima held him back.

"Oh shid, please don't vore my cheeks-"

Bakugo grit his teeth and hugged the girl tightly, engulfing her with warmth. [Name] blinked in shock and then closed her eyes, hugging him back tightly.

"The sexual tension is high," Iida whispered intelligently.

The party went perfectly. Everyone went outside in the large field behind the dorms to play paintball, and Bakugo totally nae-naed on everyone's asses. Mineta kept shooting up paintballs girls skirts, until Shinsou used his quirk to command Mineta to shoot himself in the peepee region.

[Name] played for a couple rounds, but then sat out the last round, as she felt slightly fatigued.

"You okay?" Kirishima worriedly said, slinging his gun over his chest, sitting beside [Name]. The girl nodded, smiling lightly.

"Yeah! I guess I just stayed up too late planning this for him. I'm just a little tired. I wanted it to be perfect, you know? He deserves it." [Name] smiled, staring at the blonde devil boy, who was happily laughing and shooting Midoriya continuously.

"Yeah. I understand," Kirishima said quietly, staring at [Name] for a couple seconds. He then turned his attention towards Bakugo and grinned a little. "You two seem close."

"We've really come a long way from the beginning of the year," [Name] smiled, remembering how hostile Bakugo was during her childhood and at the start of the year, and how she had somehow managed to bring out his soft side over the time.

"Hey guys, I think it's time for cake!" Ochaco clapped her hands together.

"Well damn, my dummy thicc dumptruck is right here, 😳," [Name] jumped up, walking inside.

As everyone took off their paintball gear, [Name] revealed the cake, which caused many people to gasp in awe.

"It looks stupid," Bakugo grumbled, but crossed his arms and blushed slightly.

"He loves it, everyone!" [Name] announced, causing everyone to cheer and Bakugo to grumble some insults, as usual, but it was true. Nobody had ever gone this all out for him.

[Name] got the cake ready with the help of Todoroki, (although his daddy issues™ were activated as he used his fire to light the candle), and then the lights were turned off, and everyone sang for Bakugo.

The boy awkwardly stood in the front, the flickering candlelight reflected in his eyes, which looked slightly watery, but happy. His face was, of course, his usual resting bitch face, but anyone who knew the boy could tell he was happy.

And as he blew the candle out, the room was plunged into a pitch dark for a couple of seconds, before Todoroki turned the lights back on. Then, the cake was distributed. Bakugo obviously called dibs on the piece which had All Might on it.

[Name] awkwardly found herself eating the Aizawa piece. At least she wasn't feasting on Endeavor's phatass, like poor Midoriya.

Finally, the cardboard Bakugo was revealed.

"WHO MADE MY ASS AND CHEST SO BIG?!" Bakugo roared.

"Uh, totally not me." [Name] whispered, hiding in the back of the crowd, wincing as her head pounded from Bakugo's loud voice.

Finally, as night was falling, everyone had gotten slightly tired. Bakugo and some of the boys lay in the common area, talking and playing with Aizawa's cats, who were rented out for the occasion (or rather stolen from his room by [Name]).

By now, Bakugo had also received his gifts, which he said 'weren't necessary' but almost exploded when he saw the limited edition All Might figurine [Name] had given to him.

"Everyone, let's get together for one last picture before we leave!" [Name] said happily, grabbing a camera. Everyone gathered together, and Bakugo (not without some grumbles) stood in the center, a sour look on his face.

"[Name], go, I'll take the picture since I'm not a part of 1-a," Shinsou muttered, grabbing the camera.

The girl nodded and ran back towards the crowd, wiggling in next to Bakugo. As he put his warm arm around her shoulder, Shinsou's nose wrinkled.

"Bakugo, try not to look constipated. Smile."

"NO!" Bakugo hissed (like a horse girl).

"Bakugo, does All Might suck?" Shinsou asked.

"Wha- NO!" Bakugo said, and was then taken over by Shinsou's mind control.

"Smile, Bakugo." The purple haired boy smirked.

And so, the picture was taken, with Bakugo in the center, his eyes bright and happy, his cheeks slightly pink, as a genuine smile was plastered across his face.

"That's the last of it!" [Name] sighed, setting down stuff from the party (extra cake, Bakugo's gifts, etc.) in the ashy blonde haired boy's dorm room.

"Hey... You don't look so good." Bakugo grumbled.

"Oh I'm fine, I think I'm just tired..." [Name] mumbled. She then sat down on Bakugo's bed, (cue his blushes) and laid back.

"...Then stay here. I want to spend some time with... You." The boy said, between gags.

"Bet, let's play Minecraft!" [Name] grinned, grabbing the controls. The two played for hours, with Bakugo literally exploding multiple times as [Name] or some type of monster tried to kill him or blow him up.

"Bakugo... Oh my god... You're basically a creeper." [Name] said, turning towards him.

"NO I'M NOT!" Bakugo huffed, although little did both of them know that he would think about that for the rest of his life.

"I'm hungry," [Name] sighed, falling back on Bakugo's bed, the tv screen illuminating her desperate face.

"Let's go..." Bakugo said something quietly.

"What was that?" [Name] asked. Bakugo grabbed her and pulled her to her feet (semi-gently) and dragged her to the common kitchen, which was supposed to be closed for curfew but eh, who cares.

"I said let's go make some fucking cookies or some shit." He grumbled.

The two pressed cookie dough onto the sheets, but [Name] paused as she tried to open the oven, but failed.

"The ovens turn off after 10 pm," [Name] sighed. "I forgot."

"Move, you extra!" Bakugo grinned as he put his hand near the cookies, his hands powering up.

"BAKUGO NOOoooOO!" [Name] shrieked, but it was too late.

"Well... They're fucking done..." Bakugo said, staring at the completely black and burnt cookies, which were crumbling.

"They taste like nitroglycerin," [Name] shrugged, eating one, leaving Bakugo to wonder how the fuck she knew that that tasted like. He rolled his eyes and poked her forehead, and then widened his eyes, suddenly putting his entire hand on her forehead.

"Holy shit, you have a fever. Get your ass in bed, right now."

Bakugo picked her up, brought her to his room, and basically threw her on his bed.

'Oh fuck I forgot about that goddamn balloon.' The boy thought as he unnervingly stared at the disapproving looking Aizawa balloon, looming in the air, staring at the two of them.

"Damn, you really be having peepee hard time with my daughter while I'm watching." Balloon Aizawa telepathically said.

Bakugo blushed furiously, protesting that 'He wasn't doing anything indecent to her' before he realized he was talking to a goddamn balloon.

[Name] groaned and massaged her head, which was throbbing. Bakugo then force-fed her some medicine and put a cold towel on her head.

"Bakugo, you shouldn't have to take care of me on your birthday... I'm sorry, I just wanted everything to be perfect, so I tried to pretend I wasn't getting sick..." [Name] said sleepily, succumbing to the warmth of the blankets and of Bakugo next to her.

"Shut up, idiot. You shouldn't have overworked yourself just for me. Besides, I don't mind taking care of you," Bakugo said, and then quietly added a quiet "I would rather spend today with you anyways."

He looked to his side to see [Name], fast asleep, as the meds induced drowsiness. He picked up the stupid picture that Shinsou had taken at the party.

The boy then smiled, which was an odd feeling for him. Although he would never admit it, deep down inside, he was happy that his friends had remembered his birthday, and now felt stupid for being slightly upset over it earlier.

Setting the picture down, the ash-blonde blushed and hugged [Name] tightly, not caring that he would get sick, then felt a chill run up his spine. He knew that she would have to leave eventually, after curfew. But for now, he buried his face in her neck and protectively embraced her, his heart beating against her back.

Thank you, idiot.
