I shook out my hair, kicking Nessie's kickstand down and letting her lean on it. I chained her to the bicycle rack and tucked my helmet under my arm.

It had been a relatively long day. First with Daichi and his stunt, then the call with Yaoyorozu (which Daichi insisted on being in the room for).

I was still upset about what he did. He was going to impersonate a government officer, which is against the law! All for a stupid bet with Chiharu. He had always been competitive, even when it came to stuff like this that doesn't really matter.

He took it to far, and as a friend I can't do much except tell him what he did wrong and how to fix it. But as his boss however... I could do lots of things.

Thinking about this some more, I exited the parking garage to go to the lobby of my building.

"(L/N) thank god!" I heard someone yell, making me look up. "Thank god you're here!"

"Sero?" I asked as the hero approached me, leaning down on his knees and breathing heavily.

"Score, we caught her!" I heard someone else say from behind the tape hero.

Denki?

"Why are you two in front of my building? Were you guys just waiting for me?" I asked in confusion as Denki slowed down to stand in front of me.

They were both exhausted, anyone could see that from the way their chests heaved with each breath and the way their skin lightly shone with sweat.

The men didn't answer, instead they kept panting and leaning on their knees. At one point, Sero did try to answer me, but then failed as he ran out of breath too quick.

"Are you ok?" I asked, the new question seemed more important.

"Can we—" Denki started, standing up straight again, "can we explain in your— oh geez, your apartment?"

I gave him a questioning look.

"Please," Sero pleaded, chest rising and falling still as he looked up at me from his crouched position.

"Yeah," I said, taking a few steps towards the door to my building, "sure. Follow me."

The ran up to me, following behind me as I pulled open the front door.

"Shit, (L/N), go go!" Sero muttered, pushing Denki and I through the door faster. He ushered us through the lobby, towards the elevators that rested in the back.

"Wait, Sero, I need to pick up my mail—"

"Later, please, our lives depend on hiding in your apartment right now!" Denki exclaimed, turning around and whipping behind me to help Sero push me into an elevator.

"Ok, ok, fine, but you both owe me an explanation when we get to my apartment." I sigh, feeling like some sort of anime protagonist with really weird friends. "Let's take the stairs, elevator traffic is bad this time of day."

I whip around as I spoke, catching a wrist of each of the men as I turned. I led them to the stairs and released their wrists as I pushed the door open, taking them two steps at a time.

After a few flights of stairs I looked back, both heroes slowly trailing after me up the stairs.

"How high up is your apartment?" Denki asked as he put his hand on my shoulder and leaned on me for support.

"I'm on the fourteenth floor and this is only the seventh, so let's go." I stated, pushing him off me as I flew up the next flight.

"The seventh?!" Denki exclaimed, yelling slightly as Sero shoved him into a wall and ran past him, barreling up the stairs behind me.

"Hey!"

(/)/(/)/(/)/(/)/(/)/(/)/(/)/(/)/(/)/(/)/(/)/(/)

"Wow..." Sero's word trailed off as he looked around my apartment, nursing the glass of water in his hands. He would pull his arms into his sides whenever he passed something too closely, making sure not to run into anything.

"You have a Funko of me!" Denki exclaims. "Sero look, our Funko Pops are right next to each other!"

Sero stumbled over his own feet trying to cross my living room to stand next to his friend.

"Oh my god, we're bros even in Funko form." Sero muttered.

"Hell yeah!" They yelled in unison, high-fiving.

"Alright you guys, what the hell were you running from?" I asked, tired from my long work day.

"Katsuki."

How do they just talk in sync like that?

"Why was Bakugo chasing you?" I asked, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"We may or may not have—"

"You did—" Sero interjected.

"You helped!"

"Did not!"

"Guys!" I yelled over them both.

"Right, Denki took Katsuki's—"

"I know you assholes are in there!" Bakugo suddenly yelled, banging on my door.

"Shit!"

Seriously, are they psychically connected somehow?

"(Y/N), I know they're in there, open the door!"

"Ok, what did you two do?" I whispered to the heroes who stood, frozen and staring at the door in fear.

"We may or may not have—"

"Denki took pictures of him while he was sleeping." Sero whispered to me, pulling Denki's phone from his back pocket, making the later gasp slightly.

"You touched my ass." Denki whispered in shook as Sero punched in the code to his phone.

"And? Not like I haven't before." I choked slightly, trying to hold back my laughter. Sero flipped the phone around to me, showing me a picture of Bakugo, his covers pulled up to nose.

His hair lay limp on his pillow, one of his hands set in front of him, clutching the side of his pillow.

"Open the door!"

"Patience is a virtue Bakugo!" I yelled back, looking at the picture. "This picture is a problem why?"

"Why?" Denki asked. "Why? It's a big deal because I don't think Katsuki's ever let anyone see him asleep, much less take a picture!" The man waved his arms around, almost whacking Sero in the head before he dodged.

I've seen Bakugo asleep. He's slept right next to me before.

"Ah. I see. And you got this picture—"

"(Y/N)!"

"Virtue Bakugo, patience is a virtue!" I yelled, throwing my head back to address the man at my door. "Anyway, you got this picture how?"

"Screw virtues!"

"Screw you! Anyways, continue."

"We were supposed to all hang out at Katsuki's place today for group movie night but when we got there early, he was asleep on the couch." Sero explained, putting Denki's phone back into his pocket.

Paying no mind, Denki continued the story.

"He just looked so peaceful, so I snapped a picture." Denki shrugged, looking at me with a half-smile.

"Stupid head over here had his ringer on and the volume all the way up for whatever reason and the camera going off woke Katsuki up." Sero explained again, flinging his arm around his friends shoulders.

"It's not my fault he's a light sleeper!" Denki whisper shouted at his friend.

"I can hear you!" I groaned in response to Bakugo's words, walking over to my door.

"Wait—"

"What do you want?" I asked, leaning against the door frame and looking at Bakugo.

"The idiots are in you apartment aren't they?" He asked, flexing and un-flexing his hands.

"I have no clue what you're talking about."

"I can see Denki behind you!"

I looked back and sure enough Denki was there, frozen in fear at the sight of his friend.

"That's not Denki."

"It's not?"

"Nope."

"Then who the fuck is it?!"

"Ah ah ah Bakugo, not who, but what. It's a statue. Home decor if you will."

"Yeah right!" He yelled, tired of my shit. "It's Lightening Bolt, I see him right there! Elbows is right beside him!"

"That is simply not true. Now, why don't we sit, have a glass of water and talk about this adorable picture I was recently shown."

Bakugo's eye twitched, making me want to laugh.

"Did he show you?" He muttered angrily. The tips of his ears were turning red and I could tell he was about to blow.

"It's not like I haven't seen you asleep before Bakugo." I muttered so only he could hear. "It's not my fault I find the picture of you asleep incredibly adorable, and it's also not Denki and Sero's fault you have such a short fuse. Now, can you come in and have a glass of water with us like a civilized adult?"

"You're a civilized adult," Bakugo muttered, nodding his head.

"Yes, yes I am and I highly recommend being one."

(Y/N)'s neighbors rn: 👁👄👁

Fun Fact: Denki pulled Sero out the door of Bakugo's place the second he woke up, even though there was no reason for Sero to run.

ITS THE SKIPPING AN UPDATE WITHOUT TELLING YOU GUYS FOR ME🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️sorry about that by the way

Between the election and this girl (who keeps confusing me?? like I can't tell if IM being an ass, or she's being really clingy. I would talk to my mom about it but I can't because I'm closeted :/), I've been kinda stressed and so I didn't finish the chapter in time, and blah blah blah, but! I told myself that you guys would be ok with me skipping an update and finally finished it after six days.

Reminder: It's ok to take a step back sometimes. If you're feeling stressed, step away for a little bit. Regroup, calm down, and come back later. If people don't understand that you're stressed out, then screw them. Take some time off for you. I love you all💞💞

Over and out.
