Point of Impact ?Katsuki Bakugo?

CHAPTER FIVE

Jirou waited exactly ten seconds after Aurelia sat down before elbowing her lightly in the ribs.

“So,” she said, voice deceptively casual, “how’s our favorite emotional buzzsaw doing?”

Aurelia didn’t look up. “Perfectly calm.”

“Uh-huh,” Mina said, popping a piece of gum she hadn’t had five minutes ago. “That why Bakugo looks like he’s about to explode and you’re fingering your star necklace like it personally offended you?”

Aurelia adjusted her grip on the stylus in her hand, eyes on her tablet. “I’m studying.”

Jirou smirked. “You’re deflecting.”

“I’m ignoring,” Aurelia said evenly, “which, in this context, is a mark of growth.”

Mina snorted. “Well, get ready to devolve, my love, because I have the best distraction incoming.”

Aurelia raised an eyebrow.

Mina leaned in, grin too wide. “You’re formally invited to The Party.”

Aurelia blinked. “That’s… aggressively vague.”

“Kirishima and Tetsutetsu’s birthday blowout,” Jirou clarified, pulling up her own tab to flash the invite on the screen:
“TETSU × KIRI: TURNING 19, LIFTING HEAVY, DRINKING STUPID.”
Hosted by: Kaminari & Mina. Chaos Guaranteed. Dress Code: None. Supervision: Ha.

Aurelia snorted. “You named it like it’s a WWE pay-per-view.”

Mina beamed. “Thank you!”

“Alcohol?”

“Legal and lethal,” Jirou said, tapping the side of her tab like she’d just dropped a weapon on the table.

“No supervision?”

“Present but irrelevant,” Mina chirped. “Aizawa gave us the ‘don’t die, don’t film anything that gets leaked to the press, don’t let Kaminari blow anything up’ speech and left.”

Aurelia finally smiled, small but real. “...Chaos encouraged?”

Mina threw her hands in the air. “Do you even have to ask?”

Aurelia leaned back in her chair. “Then I’m in.”

Jirou raised an eyebrow. “Even if there’s a high risk of party games that destroy reputations and moral dignity?”

Aurelia shrugged. “I have nothing to be ashamed of. And I never lose at Truth or Dare.”

Mina clapped her hands, eyes sparkling. “Oh, you have to play. There’s already a lineup for Never Have I Ever, and Kaminari made a chart for Seven Minutes in Heaven.”

Aurelia arched a brow. “He made a chart?”

“He’s an idiot,” Jirou said fondly.

“He’s an organized idiot,” Mina corrected.

"Why an I an idiot?" Kaminari asked as he joined the girls with Kirishima and Bakugo at his side.

Jirou and Mina ignored him.

Jirou turned to Aurelia. “You gonna wear something tactical, or are you finally gonna show up in something that doesn’t have utility straps?”

"Here," Aurelia unlocked her phone  and opened the photo gallery, handing it to Mina. "Take your pick."

Mina practically yanked the phone out of Aurelia’s hand like it was a live grenade.
Her eyes went wide.

“Oh my god,” she breathed, tapping through the photo gallery with lightning speed. “You’ve been hiding these?”
