I'm sorry this chapter is so short and badly written.

When Katsuki wakes up on Friday and remembers it's his birthday, he immediately checks his phone, hoping Mom had wished him a happy birthday (which she didn't... no suprise). He did have a message from his dad, though, like always. Obviously, Katsuki has favourites. His asshole of a mum doesn't stand a chance in bettering his father.

Old Man

Happy Birthday, buddy 🎉

Katsuki smiles. His dad always makes an effort with him and he appreciates it. it makes him feel loved.

Bakugou

Thx or whatever

That's enough to fuel him for the day. He knows that the class is going to throw him a party. they're too kind.

He walks into the common room, the class huddled around the table, whispering to each other. Others are nodding at whatever they're saying. Bakugou rolls his eyes.

"Hey, Kacchan," Midoriya calls out, accentuating his 'name'. The class all turn around and act normal. Leaning against the furniture and whistling.

Bakugou snickers at their stupidity. They are not the best at keeping secrets.

"Happy birthday, bro," Denki says and swings and arm around Bakugou who's boiling the kettle to Todoroki's dismay.

"Don't touch me." He pushes Denki off him.

"We hope you have a great day, babe," Mina says.

Katsuki has given up his efforts to bury that nickname into the ground. She was persistent with it.

"It's just my birthday, it's not important."

"What do you mean? It's an entire day dedicated to you! Isn't that great?" Mina cheers.

Bakugou grabs the hissing kettle and pours himself a cup of black tea and grabs a slice of toast from the pile made every morning.

He slumps into his designated table, the rest of his 'group' following.

"You're ruining my morning. Leave," he orders.

But like flies, they stick to him like glue. "Are you going to train after school?" Sero asks, his phone out.

"I missed out on training yesterday so of course I am."

These dimwits can be so dense sometimes.

Sero types something in his phone and some of the other students look at him and nod.

The day went by as normal. He ignored all of Aizawa's efforts to talk to him and worked extra hard in training to make up for yesterday. After class had ended, the extras dashed off back to the dorms.

So secretive.

Bakugou wasn't looking forward to a party. He wanted to train then sleep, hoping that the extra training would burn him out enough. He makes his way to the gym and dumps his stuff on one of the benches. He begins some stretches.

"Is that the kid from Kamino?"

"I think so."

"I can't believe Allmight lost his powers in order to save this kid."

Katsuki cuts his stretches short and begins running on the treadmill. Even once the kids leave, he pushes his earphones deeper in and turns the volume up of his music and increase the speed on the machine.

Kirishima knows he has to be quick. Bakugou would be there at any minute. They finish laying the snacks on the tables. Midoriya and Uraraka blow up the final orange balloons, pasting them in the bunches around the room. A pastel banner reading happy birthday hangs from the ceiling (Kirishima couldn't find anything else).

"Guys, he's coming!" Hagakure calls out from halfway out the door. She's the spy, telling them when Bakugou arrives.

"How do you think he's going to react?" Denki whispers to Kirishima.

"I don't think he'll react very well, to be honest."

"He's nearly here," Hagakure updates and runs inside the building.

"Kirishima, get the lights!" He runs for them, flicking them off. Everyone hides as the watch the entrance. Kirishima's hand on the light switches.

"Surprise!" everyone jumps up as he turns the lights back on.

Bakugou flinches and scowls. "What the hell is this?" he shouts.

"Deku said it was your birthday and we wanted to celebrate it."

"Damn you, nerd," he criticises.

"Come on, bro. It'll be fun!"

"I told you," Eijiro tells Denki, nudging him.

"Fine, whatever. But none of those stupid party hats."

Midoriya hides the stack of party hats behind his back.

The night was fun. Jirou was in charge of music and her taste was impeccable. They'd made an area dedicated for dancing where Midoriya and his friends spent a lot of the night. Denki and Sero played lots of Mario Cart and Super Smash Bro's. Apart from the occasional spilt drink, the night went better than Kirishima could have ever imagined. The only thing that concerned him was how Bakugou didn't dare touch the junk food, only opting to have a small slice of cake, too. The cake had been made by Sato and decorated by Mina. She'd drawn a black explosion with an orange outline and written messily, 'Happy Birthday Bakubabe <3'.

And Eijiro was excited but scared for the following day where Bakugou would go with him to overcome his fear.
