The apartment buzzed with energy on game night. Mina and Kirishima shared the coziest room, but the living room was the real heart of their home—especially when food and games were involved.

The table overflowed with takeout: orange chicken, fried rice, noodles, dumplings, yakitori, spicy beef, gyoza, karaage, egg rolls, crab rangoons, and tempura. Katsuki had insisted on adding grilled salmon and roasted vegetables. “You idiots need something healthy,” he muttered.

“Like salmon’s gonna save us from all this fried stuff,” Kaminari laughed, reaching for an egg roll.

“Touch that before we’re ready, and you’ll need saving,” Katsuki growled, swatting Kaminari’s hand away.

“Chill, man! There’s enough to feed a small army,” Kirishima said, piling karaage onto his plate with a grin.

“Yeah, because Katsuki orders like we’re starving,” Mina teased, sneaking a mochi ice cream.

“Shut it, Pinky,” Katsuki snapped, though the smirk on his face gave him away.

Once everyone had their plates loaded, they settled in to eat. Laughter filled the room as they swapped stories: Kirishima recounted stopping a runaway bus, Kaminari exaggerated a “perfectly planned” rescue that sounded more like luck, and Mina mocked Katsuki for yelling at a reporter.

“She deserved it,” Katsuki grumbled around a mouthful of rice.

“No one deserves you, dude,” Sero quipped, earning a roar of laughter from the group.

When the food was gone, they cleared the table for “Hero’s Gauntlet.” Mina shuffled the cards with a gleam in her eye. “Get ready to lose, boys.”

“We’ll see about that,” Katsuki challenged, cracking his knuckles.

“Careful, Bakugo,” Kaminari teased. “Don’t blow up the game board.”

The competition was fierce. Katsuki played ruthlessly, Kirishima cheered for everyone, Kaminari made reckless moves, Sero trash-talked nonstop, and {{user}} played smart. But in the end, Mina pulled off a surprising last-minute win.
