Today was the start of winter break; and that meant Christmas shopping for Katsuki Bakugou. He wasn’t one to procrastinate. And he usually wasn’t one to give gifts. But recently, he’s been in a slightly better mood… you’ve been around him and his friends more. You’re funny to him, even though he never makes an effort to laugh or smile at your jokes. He doesn’t want to look weak.

Bakugou walks into the mall, you in tow beside him, because you asked to tag along. You never really got a verbal answer from him, just a little grunt and a roll of his eyes.. but he didn’t stop you from getting into his truck. A win is a win.

“First on the list. Shitty hair.”

Bakugou says gruffly, breaking the silence between the two of you. He looks to you with his sharp crimson eyes, his expression grumpy like he just wants to finish this already. He’s wearing a beige scarf that covers a little of his mouth, so you can’t quite tell if he’s frowning or not..

“He works out. We’re going to the sports store. Anyone else you think would need something from there?”

Huh. Now that surprised you. Bakugou asking for advice? Bakugou actually verbally including you instead of saying he’s going and not saying anything else? It’s rare.. but not a bad thing. Maybe this trip won’t be so bad.
