do a figure eight for me (closed)

WHO: Bakugo and Raidou
WHAT: Ice skating after hours
WHERE: Shinjuku Shrine
WHEN: Day after that Synder swipe
WARNINGS: None at present. It's not like it's a date or anything...

[No one would ever peg Bakugo for being someone who wanted to bond with others. So that raises the question how he found himself here. In the cold of the evening air, the setting sun's base dipped into the horizon as golden glows make shadows through the trees beside the Shinjuku Shrine. His breath ghosts white in the air, accenting the warmth inside beneath the wrap of his scarf and jacket. Thirty minutes after 1700, enough time for Raidou to get off work and make his way to the frozen rink.

... Why the fuck did a simple mingle have to be covered in a damn dating app? Because it was February? He knows better than to think it was an accident by Synthia. That AI did it on purpose, forcing confessions of interest and setting up dates between people just for the cost of interaction. Bakugo's never been on a damn date before. He's never been interested enough to go for one, and anyone else has been too intimidated by him to express interest. The only experience he has in these things came from the random chick flick his mother occasionally made him watch with her when he was younger.

But if it's with Raidou... Just a casual date, someone told him. Was it? Who the hell knows. Raidou's not someone Bakugo distinctly dislikes. He gets along with the guy, despite the severe clash in their personalities, and he's been actively involved in helping the summoner a few times. Bakugo's the one who expressed surprise and interest in Raidou knowing how to ice skate in the first place... before that quick joust of who asks.

Waiting outside the rink, Bakugo watches the few people lingering upon the frozen surface, not surprised a few came from the shrine itself. It would be a good way to enjoy the peace of the nearby area, quiet as those in the shrine carried about their serene duties. Though that doesn't stop his eyes from glancing around, searching for Raidou and half expecting the guy to just appear behind him.]

1100. So we can show up an hour before close.

[He thinks for a moment.]

... Loser has to cook the winner dinner.

[Both of them seemed pretty handy in the kitchen, right?]

[That raised eyebrow earns him one in return.]

So you're assuming I'll win again?

[How magnanimous, Tanpopo.]

You're free to pick something else. Otherwise... [He thinks it over for a moment.] I could really go for some good tuna lately. [He's going to make him really pay for it if he loses!]

[Fair's fair. Raidou nods, and then sticks out a hand to shake on it.]

Deal.
