"Come on kaachan~ anyone who is anyone is doing it! I did it!" Kaminari whined

The smaller man had been following Bakugou for the last couple of blocks and people were starting to stare. It wasn't often tat Charge Bolt was on this side of town, and he was following Ground Zero
Around, acting buddy-buddy with the aloof number 4 hero. Kaminari put his hand on Bakugou's shoulder and was quickly shoved away.

"The answer is no" he hissed, shooting a glare towards a group of gossiping teenagers taking pictures "I said no and I mean no, now get out of here"
"Kacchan~" Kaminari made a point of talking even louder, the group of teens giggled "it's not a big deal, just answer a few questions! They're funny too!"

"I don't do shit like that"

"I did it!"

"I don't give a shit about you!"

"Midoriya did it!"

Bakugou's eyebrow twitched
"Fuck that shitty nerd, he's beneath me."

Kaminari ran around and stopped in front of Bakugou, wearing a dark and smug look.

"Kirishima is going to do it"

Shit. Bakugou stopped, his composure faltered for a split second but Kaminari noticed immediately.
A knowing smirk tugged at the smaller man's mouth and he put his hands on his hips.

"But you know Kirishima, he likes things like that... And people who do stuff like that, buuut I guess it wouldn't bother you that Midoriya is doing stuff that Kirishima likes. Would it?"
Kaminari spun around in his heel and crossed his hands behind his head. "I guess I'll just have to call Kirishima and tell him that you're not coming. Man he's gonna be so dissapoi-"

"I'll do it." Bakugou growled behind him.

"Whaaaat? Why the sudden change of heart?"
Kaminari teased, turning back to watch Bakugou squirm. The bigger man's face was slightly pink and he avoided eye contact. He hated when Kaminari did this, the shitty extra had figured out halfway through high school that if he mentioned Kirishima, Bakugou would usually cave.
Kaminari teased him about it constantly. It's gotten worse in the last few years. He liked that the number 4 hero could be so easily swayed by a crush.

Kaminari smiled a slimy grin and grabbed his phone "I'll let him know you're coming. The filming will happen next week."
"Fuck off..."

"Love you too, Kaachan." Kaminari said, sending Bakugou the details and then turning back to him with a more serious expression "You know you can tell him you like him, right?"

"I don't like him" Bakugou grumbled, hitting him with his shoulder as he passed
Kaminari sighed and put his phone away "what ever you say man... Good luck next week, keep a level head."

"I always have a level head"

"Right Kaachan~"

"Die!"

"You better pick up sparky, you're about to fucking die" Bakugou hissed, dialing Kaminari for the 5th time.

Bakugou had been under the impression that he would be doing a joint interview with Kirishima. Something professional with a stage and lights... Not in some random office
Answering questions alone for some stupid web series.

"Th-thank you for being here, Mr. Zero" some computer nerd stammered as he attached a small microphone to his chest with trembling fingers "when Charge Bolt t-told me you had agreed to come I was s-surprised"

"Whatever"
They gave him a basic rundown of how the filming would go then sat him down, alone, in front of a white sheet.

"I'm Ground Zero and today I'm going to answer the most commonly web searched questions about me..." Bakugou grumbled.

He had to repeat the line a couple more times.
Then he was handed a poster board designed like a search browser with his hero name in the search bar. Underneath was a list of questions with everything but the first word covered.

Maybe Bakugou should have watched one of these videos before agreeing to be in one...
"Why does Ground Zero smell sweet?" Bakugou read, his eyebrows knitted together "Smell sweet? What the fuck?"

He looked up at the camera crew and they motioned for him to keep talking.

"It's a side effect of my quirk. I produce nitroglycerin like sweat from my palms.
It smells sweet, I guess. I don't notice it."

He shifted uncomfortably. The chair was too tall and the lights were too bright. Kirishima was better with this kind of thing than he was... No wonder the stupid red head agreed to this.

Bakugou received the next question and his
Scowl deepened. He could hear one of the crew members stifle a laugh.

"Why are Ground Zero's boobs so big?" He red through gritted teeth.

"First they are /not/ boobs. My chest is big because I have a lot of muscle. How many people seriously asked this?"
"It -uh- was the second most commonly searched question, Mr. Zero..."

"You're fucking kidding me." Bakugou pinched the bridge of his nose and took a couple of deep breaths before moving to the next question. "What does Ground Zero smell like?... Why are these creeps obsessed
With how I smell?"

He looked at the rest of the crew and they just shrugged and Bakugou sighed.

"It's my quirk that makes me smell like this, I can't do anything about it." He groaned, there were only a few more questions and then he could leave and while the questions were
Weird so far nothing has really upset him. Bakugou peeled back the next question.

"Is Ground Zero fucking Red Riot?"

The poster he was holding caught fire.

"Whoa!" The crew started to scramble, someone took the poster away from Bakugou and another put it out.
"What kind of question is that?" Bakugou yelled, hoping his face wasn't too red "and why 'fucking'? What? I- fuck my sex life none of your damn business!"

He heard murmers amongst the crew as a replacement poster was placed into his hands "but no. I am /not/ fucking Red Riot.
Get your damn minds out of the gutter."
📸📸📸

The video went viral quickly... Or more specifically the 10 second clip of Bakugou lighting the poster on fire and him saying "get your damn minds out of the gutter" became memes and webt viral. Bakugou was humiliated. He couldn't get on any social media without seeing
His own damn face. He hated it and Kaminari was no help.

"Your video was awesome dude!" The blond said, Bakugou could hear his smile through the phone.

"I hate you"

"Come on bro don't be like that! Kirishima and I just watched it, it's hilarious!"
Kirishima watch it?

"The questions were weird..."

"That's the point dude, that's why it's funny!" Bakugou heard some one talking in the background, probably Kiri. "I had someone ask me if I use my quirk during sex! Kiri and I are trying to predict what questions he'll get!"
"I still hate you."

"Kiri's video will come out next week, you'll watch it right?"

Bakugou hung up on him, but a week later he was sitting on his couch, pulling out his laptop to watch Kirishima's "interview".
📸📸📸

Kirishima closed the laptop after he had finished watching Bakugou's video, smiling weakly as Kaminari recovered from laughing his ass off.

"Blasty made the sign catch fire!" Kaminari wheezed "I gotta call him oh my god... Dude what's wrong?"

He shook Kiri's shoulder
And the bigger man tried to grin. He was never good at hiding his emotions.

"Why'd you make Bakugou do that? He was clearly uncomfortable"

Kaminari frowned "Come on it was funny!"

"It wasn't funny, dude..." Kiri stood up and walked to his kitchen "he looked embarrassed"
"His questions weren't any worse than mine! Or Midoriya's!" Kaminari argued, opening the laptop again "and you died laughing at Midoriya's. There's always at least one sex question."

Kirishima grumbled something and pulled out a beer.

"You didn't like way he answered it..."
Kaminari realized and Kirishima winced "it's /not/ like that"

"Have you guys fucked? No way!"

"/NO/" Kiri was as red as his hair "n-no he doesn't like me like that, bro... It's just he didn't have to sound so repulsed by the idea..."

Kaminari laughed until he realized that
The red head was serious.

"Dude you're joking. Bakugou wasn't acting that way because he's grossed out by the idea of fucking you, he's embarrassed because he likes you and they exposed him like that"

"Of course you'd say that..."

"Dude I'll call him hold up"

"Don't!"
The phone call was brief, Kirishima hovered close to try to hear what they were saying.

"Ask him about the question!" He whined "Come on dude!"

Kaminari waved him away "kiri's video is coming out next week you'll watch it right?... Oh, he hung up..."

"Kaminari!"
"What? He hung up!"

"You didn't ask him!"

"He hung up on me! Just say that you like him in your video"

Kirishima jaw dropped "i-i-i can't do /that/!"

"Yeah you can"

"I can't even tell him in person I like him!"

Kaminari shrugged "sounds like a personal problem"
📸📸📸

Kirishima was nervous but excited when he arrived for his interview. Kaminari agreed to go with him for support, but the he red head didn't need it. As soon as started talking to everyone Kirishima was able to relax and go with the flow, he was a people person.
They tapped the little microphone to one of his arm gears and he sat down on the little chair. It creaked under his weight.

"Hi guys! I'm the Pro Hero Red Riot and I'm gonna answer some questions for you all!" He flashed one of his blinding smiles and banged his hardened fists
Kirishima was handed the little poster just like Bakugou had been and revealed the first question, there was a split second of unease before he reading the question a loud.

"What is red riot's work out routine" Kirishima said relieved.

He went into his workout regime in
Great detail, even demonstrating a couple of exercises. Kirishima happily answered the next few questions, they were all super sweet. He was starting to wonder why he had been worried in the first place. He was joking and laughing with the crew, telling long dramatic stories
To answer the questions.

"Ok ok guys one last question" Kirishima announced with a wide shark tooth grin. He pulled the tab and started reading without a second thought.

"How big is Red Riot's Co-" he choked on the last word, his face burning as he cleared his throat.
He glanced at the crew and they motioned to him to continue. Kaminari was snickering but giving him a thumbs up.

"H-how big is Red Riot c-cock" Kirishima stammered "well *cough* um"

The red head squirmed and twiddled his thumbs "What am I supposed to say here?"
Kaminari snickered and popped in to the set next to him, wrapping his arm around Kirishima's shoudlers.

"Let's just say he's porn star average"
📸📸📸

Red Riot gets a lot of attention after the video gets released and he gets booked for photoshoots. They're lewd shoots for male lingerie lines and Kirishima is embarrassed because he knows they only want him for his big sick and popularity, but the shoots actually
Help his confidence a lot. He asks if he can bring his friends when the new line comes out and the photographers enthusiastically tell Kiri to bring as many of his friends as he wants.

Kirishima stares at his phone for about 5 solid minutes, hovering over Bakugou's contact.
He could call him, he wanted to call him. Bakugou would probably say hell no, but what if he didn't? They could do this together...

Kirishima calls Kaminari.
"So you want to invite Bakugou but you're calling... Me?" Kaminari asked over the phone.

"Kaminari, come on be serious!"

"If you want to be almost naked in a room with Bakugou just ask him, Kirishima, he'll say yes."

"Kami..."

"Fuck you big baby" Kaminari says exasperated
"Don't do anything I'll take care of it. Send me the details."

"You'll be there?"

"Yeah dude, I'll bring the squad."

📸📸📸
"You want me to do /what/?" Bakugou hissed, his voice laced with venom.

"I don't want you to do anything, Kirishima wants you to" Kaminari groaned, refilling Bakugou's sake cup "he doesn't want to ask you because he's worried you'd do this"

"Bullshit" he downed the sake
"Last time I agree we to do something for you I got /fucked/"

"Dude you're over reacting" denki refilled his cup again and quietly ordered another round "this time it's a photoshoot, you've done plenty before"

"I do not shoot porn"

"It's not porn!"

They continued back
And forth while Kaminari snuck Bakugou more drinks until the larger man was slurring his words.

"So *hic* You promise is just underwear? No nudes?"

"Yeah dude, the whole squad will be there"

"I don't *hic* give a fuuuck about you extras. Kiri *hic* shima?"

"He'll be there"
"Then I'm fucking doing it and that's final"

Kaminari smiled at his phone and saved the recording "perfect see you there"
