Accidental Valentine's Dinner
WHO: Open log for one and all
WHAT: Raidou is making you all dinner.
WHERE: Base cafeteria and commons
WHEN: Evening of Feb. 14th
WARNINGS: N/A
Everyone could use something nice after that kaiju fight, and what better than a real meal? It won't be easy to cook for so many people, but Raidou is willing to try. He makes sure to get permission to use the kitchen and the commons space, and recruits a few friends to help get it all together.
It's not an easy feat to get all the ingredients together, especially in the aftermath of a kaiju attack, so it won't be the most resplendent meal the Outsiders ever had. But if nothing else, he can make the broth and noodles for some ramen, and get as many vegetables together as he can to fill it out. It takes him several days to make what he hopes is enough, and hopefully no one raiding the fridges will take any of it in the meanwhile. He's not the world's greatest cook, but this surprisingly domestic devil summoner is good enough to make something delicious. It's not like Narumi was ever doing any of the cooking back home, so someone had to do it.
Early on Wednesday, everyone would have gotten a text saying that dinner will be at 1900 hours in the common area, and he comes straight home from school to work on putting it all together. Anyone is welcome to help cook or set the tables, and once it's ready, people can line up to get a bowl of their own to take. People are also welcome to bring their own food or drink if they have any they want contribute. Who's got dessert?
After dinner entertainment will be provided by Yuji Itadori, who has managed to find a small projector to use on the commons wall. All the tables and chairs will get rearranged to cram everyone in. Get close, okay? The first feature will be a comedy, and the second will be a horror movie.
OOC: Happy Valentine's Day, Outsiders. Raidou only just learned today what that is, whoops. If your character doesn't have any hot dates planned in a city recently smashed by monsters and tsunamis, then drop in a top-level comment, have a seat and enjoy some soup and some team bonding. Check up on your teammates after their first big battle.

[No one questions Yuji's ability to handle the pain (outside of the 'wtf' moment when seeing it). It's more his insane willingness to pile said pain on that drives those close to him up the damn wall! Bakugo's not one to talk too much, as Yuji already saw the guy working through his own injury during the kaiju fight, enough to call him out on it when the blonde bitched at Yuji for not wanting to wait. There's logic in both taking and sharing, emotions in the two as well. But balance is the issue in all things. Something heroes can fall afoul of as well.
Bakugo struggles with his own conflicting feelings as well. Yuji is far more willing to be open and with his friends and teammates than the blonde is. And even if he grouches at Yuji for shouldering his pain silently and not speaking about his suffering, Bakugo would rather die than show someone else the barest hint of weakness or vulnerability. He trusts his teammates to back him up in a battle if it's required, though levies his own high expectations on them as price of that trust, but off the battlefield? It's like pulling teeth or running into a spiky brick wall. Opening up to others is not only difficult; it's something Bakugo avoids.
Even if some people manage to wriggle past his thorny exterior easier than others, despite his own attempts to snarl at them. It's one reason why he's standing here beside the sorcerer, showing him how to improve his chopping skills. Just don't expect him to admit anything beyond not wanting to be late on the meal.
Bakugo senses Yuji's hesitation when he said those words. Yuji doesn't know it, but Bakugo has seen people die. One of them was his own teacher. Though Bakugo likewise doesn't know all Yuji's gone through, he still makes that kind of promise. Just because you fail once doesn't mean you can't get up and step forward with the same goal. Compromising with yourself will only weaken your step. I won't let them die. I won't lose my pace. I won't fail. I won't fail. Even if he fails. I won't. Fucking. Fail! Who wants to hear a hero say "I'll try not to let anyone here die, but shit happens, just in case."? Ugh...]
Hmph. Aa. I'll pick you up any time you stumble. [And kick his ass whenever Yuji needs it. They're here to help. And dammit if he's not going to do it to the best of his abilities. Without going fucking nuts in the process.]
