(Completed) Press Play {Kiribaku YouTuber AU}

11

I'm sorry it's been forever! I got busy for a while, and then I got Writer's Block for a long time, but recently I felt like being productive and remembered I had a half finished draft of Press Play waiting to be finished, so I decided to get myself to work on it. Hopefully it turned out okay. I hope y'all still enjoy it!

Kirishima and Bakugo made it to the park where he'd promised to spend the afternoon with Kaminari, Sero, and Mina. Bakugo tried to hide it, but Kirishima could tell he was somewhat nervous, and not just because of the huge elephant between them.

In all honesty, Kirishima didn't know what to think about what had happened between the two of them the previous night. He was confused. Sure, he'd liked it well enough, but he'd never imagined his tastes went in that direction. He had no experience with that sort of thing, and if he was being totally honest with himself, it kind of scared him.

He tried not to think about it as he and Bakugo made their way over to where he could his hear his friends' voices. He put a huge grin on his face and waved to them. Mina shouted something and jumped up from where she'd been sitting on top of the picnic table.

"Kiri, you're finally here!" She exclaimed, throwing her arms around his neck and making him stumble backwards a few steps, directly into Bakugo.

Bakugo jumped back, and Kirishima immediately got the impression that he really did not want to be there. In an attempt to lighten his mood, he turned to introduce him to his friends. "Uh, guys, this is  Bakugo. Is it cool that he's here?"

"Sure!" Kaminari agreed enthusiastically. He was laying on his back with his head hanging over one side of the picnic table, and his face was slowly turning redder and redder. Sitting at the end of the table and right next to him was Sero. Mina had been sitting on top of Kaminari's legs, but had stopped to jump up and hug him.

"We don't mind!" Mina said cheerfully, stepping around him to hold out a hand to Bakugo. "Hi there! My name's Mina Ashido, but call me Mina."

Bakugo didn't shake her hand, and his expression remained a scowl, but he mumbled a greeting. Mina was only put off for a second at his standoffish attitude. She smiled and pointed back at the other two boys still seated. "And those two are Hanta Sero and Denki Kaminari. It's nice to meet you!"

"Sure," Bakugo grumbled, and they all sat down at the picnic table, Mina reclaiming her seat on top of Kaminari's legs. They hadn't decided to do anything in particular, they just agreed to meet up and hang out. Surprisingly enough, Bakugo seemed to fit right into their little group, despite the just how different he was from the rest of them. And not once was the subject of Bakugo's drama with YouTube brought up.

Before they knew it, two hours had passed, and Sero and Kaminari both had to leave for work. Kirishima suggested the rest of them go out to eat before parting ways, and they both agreed. So they all headed together to a small, 50's style diner around the corner, a favorite of Kirishima's friend group.

They got a booth near the back of the room, Mina on one side and Kirishima and Bakugo on the other. Bakugo pressed himself into the corner, scrolling through his phone while Kirishima and Mina talked, deciding what they wanted.

The waitress came over and took their drink orders, and finally Bakugo set down his phone. His scowl had deepened, and Kirishima assumed that he must have seen or read something online about his problem.

"Hey, Bakugo!" He called, getting the grumpy blond's attention.

"Yeah?"

"You know what you wanna eat yet, dude?"

Bakugo pursed his lips, and Kirishima saw his eyes flick briefly to Mina before returning to him. "Get whatever, I don't really care."

Kirishima frowned. He was worried about Bakugo, and not just because of the problems with his status. They needed to talk about what had happened between them the previous night, and they needed to do it soon. Except...Kirishima didn't want to talk about it. The mere thought of it scared him.

It wasn't that he thought Bakugo didn't like him in that way. As a matter of fact, he was sure that he did, considering he had been the one to initiate the kiss and all. But Kirishima was scared. He'd never been in a relationship before, let alone one with someone of the same gender as him. He didn't know what to do with himself.

Kirishima turned back to Mina, making a mental note to try and ask her for advice about it later. She had probably already caught onto the fact that there was something between them. It was Mina, after all, and she had always been crazy perceptive like that. He was sure that she could tell him something that would help.

When the waitress returned, Kirishima placed orders for him and Bakugo and Mina ordered for herself. Bakugo didn't eat much, and by the time they had finished eating and parted ways again, Bakugo still hadn't spoken a single word. He left first, only giving a small wave to Kirishima before walking off.

Kirishima watched him go with a frown until a sharp elbow to his side caught him off guard, making him yelp. Mina grinned at him, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"I think I know what's going on here. You like him!" She sang, jumping up and down with that big grin on her face.

"I-I...I'm, well...l-look, Mina, can we talk about this somewhere else? I-I don't really feel comfortable talking about this out in public."

Mina stopped jumping and nodded,grabbing Kirishima's hand and practically sprinting down the sidewalk. "Yes! Let's go back to my apartment, and you can tell me all about your new friend!"
