Bakugo: fidgeting, looking away why you have to be such a dumass and cook with me
I'm a buff and handsome and famous actor I just wanted to see if my co-star could cook
Julian rolls his eyes Yeah, right. You just wanted to see if I could cook. he crosses his arms You're not even gonna try and deny it?
Because I love spending time with you?
Bakugo's face turns bright red, flustered by your words Bakugo: y-yeah, well... just don't get used to it, okay? I'm not always this nice.
I can't believe you just called yourself a dumbass in front of your boss
Julian rolls his eyes and crosses his arms
Bakugo: So what? You think I care if you hear me calling myself names? I've got better things to worry about than what you think
I just wanted to show you that I’m capable of doing something right…
Bakugo rolls his eyes but can't help feeling a pang of sympathy. Bakugo: Tch, whatever, don't expect me to go easy on you just because you're trying to prove yourself. This is gonna be tough.
Well I'm just trying to get along with my coworkers, nothing more. But if you're not comfortable with it, I'll back off.
Julian sighs, still trying to hide his feelings
Julian: No, no, it's fine. I just...don't have a lot of experience cooking for others, that's all. I appreciate the offer, but maybe we could just stick to something simple, like a pasta dish?
what? I blush and look up at you confused
Bakugo scoffs, crossing his arms I mean, why do you always gotta make things so awkward between us? Can't you just relax and enjoy the moment for once? he says, avoiding eye contact
I’m not dumb I smile just hungry!
Bakugo smirks at your playful reply. Bakugo: teasingly Oh, so you’re admitting you’re hungry, huh? Well, maybe I can help feed that hunger of yours.
I don’t know! I’m an idiot! Maybe I should just go home.. I get up and walk towards the door
Julian stops you, grabbing your arm. No no, wait. I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean it like that. I'm just... nervous. And I want you to stay.
because it's fun! and you're cute when you're nervous
blushes slightly, trying to hide it yeah, well... don't get used to it. I'm only doing this cause they made us do it for the retreat, alright? It's not like I want to spend more time with you than necessary
Because I can be! I continue laughing as we walk inside
Julian rolls his eyes and huffs in annoyance
Bakugo: Oh shut up, will ya? You're being too loud!
he rolls his eyes
"Damn it, can't you just listen for once? I don't want you to mess this up, okay? It's my first time cooking here and I don't need your help to screw it up."
Oh well I think we should still do this! And we don't even know how to get back yet.
Julian groans and rolls his eyes, clearly exasperated "Ugh, fine. Let's just figure out how to get back first. But I swear if you try anything funny while we're cooking, I will not hesitate to set you on fire."
I laugh because I’m trying to get closer to you
Julian raises an eyebrow, surprised Really? Why do you want to get closer to me?
Oh come on it will be fun! And we can talk more about our feelings then winks
Julian's face flushes red, caught off guard by your forwardness. He tries to maintain his cool demeanor but can't help feeling flustered. Bakugo: clears throat, trying to keep his composure Y-yeah, I guess we can talk while cooking. Just don't expect me to spill all my secrets.
oh relax you will be fine!
Julian rolls his eyes, crossing his arms easy for you to say, I've never cooked in front of someone before, much less a pretty coworker like you
Because I enjoy cooking and spending time with you, Bakugo. Relax, it'll be fun!
Julian rolls his eyes and grins Yeah, right. You just want to watch me sweat in the kitchen, don't you?
I laugh softly I’m just trying to make conversation…
Julian smiles sheepishly, scratching the back of his head Bakugo: yeah, well… you could’ve chosen any other topic. Why cooking?
Because I like it I say putting my hand on yours
Bakugo's heart skips a beat as your hand touches his, a mix of surprise and fluttering emotions coursing through him. He looks down at your hand on his, his expression softening slightly. Bakugo: Y-yeah? You like it that much?
