[It's a particularly cold day in the winter (because i love winter scenarios shut up) and school was closed because of the weekend. Some of the students are out practicing their Quirks in the snow, since as a hero you need to prepare for anything, but others are laying around in their dorm with a bag of chips bored out of their mind because they're sure that the snow wouldn't effect their Quirk poorly either way. Denki went out to check up on his usual group of friends-- but most of them were outside practicing, playing in the snow, hanging with other people or bedridden with the flu and pissed about it (guess who that is), so it's just him today. Just him...
He's not actually sure what Kirishima was up to right now, though. He knows he went out training a few hours ago but surely he'd be finishing up by now right? With that line of thinking, he picks up his cellphone and sends the red-head a couple of LINE messages.]
hey hey, kirishima bakugo's bedridden from the flu today... can you believe it? Σ(･口･) the look on his face was priceless when i told him midoriya was outside practicing his shoot style against snowmen wwww he even tried to get out of bed but because of his fever he could barely sit up... poor guy. i almost feel bad for him
wanna come with me to the store to buy something to cheer him up? we could stop by the hamburger place in the food court for lunch! ☆
[For Kirishima, the cold weather was invigorating. Like hell would he be staying indoors when he could be taking full advantage of being able to run around as much as he wanted without having to worry as much about getting overheated. So that's exactly what he'd done, initially, went out for a run around the block through drifts of snow that hadn't quite been stomped completely out of existence by salarymen going to work early. He knew Bakugou was sick, but he hadn't exactly been very...receptive to his sympathy, and he knew when to best leave him alone anyway.
He'd been about to head back to the dorms when his phone screams at him from his pocket (whatever his text tone is it is very heavy and honestly alarming, like the DUGGADUHHH screech of a guitar riff or something) and sees that Kaminari had texted him.]
hell yeah dude! probably shouldnt bring him food or anything like that though needs something he can handle being sick and all
you shoulda come running with me btw its a good day for it but its cool we can run on the way to the marketplace instead o7
[Oh! He answered pretty quickly! He must have guessed right about Kirishima finishing up for the day.. he's amazing.
Though you know what's not amazing? Kirishima mentioning running on the way to the store. He wanted to take the weekend to, y'know, relax? It's not like they don't spend every single day at school exercizing or training in one way or another....]
running in the snow? are you serious? i don't want to catch the flu like bakugo! he could barely even croak out the word "dumbass"! i don't want to be like that!!!!!
if you want to run around some more you can just meet me at the mall, 'kay? ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )
cmon dont be a baby kaminari! i havent even seen you out in the snow yet! and here i thought youd be one of the first out there once it really started comin down
[Then again, how quick he is to forget that Kaminari...is a lazy boy...but he and Kirishima are in the same low-grades boat so really the only thing they don't fully have in common is their perspectives on a good work ethic.]
itll be faster though i guess if i just head on that way...im halfway there as it is text me when u get there if u dont see me, ill hang around the entrance
[That boy... it's not like Denki's lazy he just wants a break................. just let him Rest.........
Okay he might be a little lazy sometimes and this might definitely be one of those times, but he's actually relieved that Kirishima was just going to meet him at the entrance rather than try to get him to run with him there. Maybe if it was a clear spring day he'd be more inclined, but because it's cold he has to wear layers and he doesn't want to be drenched in sweat while walking around the mall. What if he meets a cute girl there? Who'd want to go on a date with a stinky sweat boy????
Either way he gets changed into something fashionable yet practical, topping it off with earmuffs and heads off towards the mall excitedly. Despite the snow, it's bright and sunny out and a really nice day for a walk and the mall luckily wasn't too far away. It takes about fourty five minutes for him to arrive, and he spots Kirishima's bright red hair immediately and whistles to get his attention as he approaches him.]
Hey! How'd that run go for 'ya? Your legs ought to be killing you by now, dude.
[Kirishima had actually been here for a good bit before Kaminari arrives, but it's mostly because 1) he was nearly here already and 2) he just...ran the whole way, whereas Kaminari clearly took his time walking. Either way though he raises an arm in greeting, and right away he might notice that Kirishima isn't wearing clothing as thick as he is. In fact, it almost looks not thick enough for snowy weather...at best he's wearing a knit turtleneck and long sweatpants, but no earmuffs or a scarf or anything.]
No way, this ain't really even enough to work up a good sweat.
[Kaminari has to remember that Kirishima doesn't stop for many things, not even the cold of winter. After all, he and Tetsutetsu literally punched each other into submission during the sport's festival, ater all.]
What about you? I mean, you still walked here, I was almost expecting you to just grab a bus.
[Ah, to that, Denki taps his forehead smugly in response.]
It's the perfect day for a walk, Kirishima. Plus, I'm a hero-hopeful! If I can't handle a walk across town then how will I be able to rush to the scene?
[He snaps his fingers and points, towards the entrance of the mall with his other hand placed on his hip.]
Our good comrade is in need of cheering up and I'm in need of a 'burg so you can kind of say that this is just as urgent as an emergency!
[He rubs the back of his neck, following the line of Kaminari's sight to where he's pointing before gesturing vaguely for him to walk along with him.]
Be thinkin' of something that might be good for him by the way...I was trying to come up with ideas on the way here but I'm drawing blanks. Bakugou's not really all that easy to shop for, yaknow?
Plus, we can't make him feel weaker than he already does. Then it'll be like we're pitying him instead of trying to make him feel better and that'll just make it worse.
[Of course Denki follows right alongside of him, his hands shoved into the pockets of his jeans as he thinks. He'd been thinking on the way to the mall himself but Kirishima's right... he's extremely hard to shop for.]
Think he'd get pissed if we got him a heated blanket? Would that make you feel like you're being pitied I mean.. everyone knows he does poorly in the cold, anyway.
He's probably freezing his ass off in the dorms more than people usually would, even ignoring that he's sick right now.
I dunno...guy tends to run pretty hot when he ain't sick as it is.
[Odd that you know that.]
Guess it wouldn't hurt to check 'em out though. Might be worth seein' if we can find some sports drinks too. He'd probably like that, I don't think we have any around the dorms right now.
Okay fine...let's get some while we're here anyway.
[Thanks for fuckin' callin him out you're a real pal!!
Kirishima purses his lips though, folding his hands at the back of his head as they walk into the mall proper. It's pretty crowded since it's so cold out, full of people trying to get in from the chill of the outside.]
A game might not be a bad idea though...assuming he's not too sick to actually play it.
The Switch game? Yeah. [Is this too Meta, this might be too Meta] He ain't got a Switch though...but I wouldn't mind lettin' him borrow mine to play if we end up gettin' that game.
[Kirishima sighs, immediately feeling guilty for snapping at him. Kaminari is just trying to help...and he can't help it if he's a little dumb, he just Is.]
Nah, it's fine...I mean, I wouldn't...mind buying him one at all if I had the money. But maybe that would be too much just for him being sick and all.
[He says that but it's not like they're actually going to buy the Switch at this point. He. May or May Not have enough for one on his own because he looks like a rich boy with bad taste so until proven otherwise thats my hc but he also doesn't want to drop 30,000 yen on something like that...]
[Kirishima stares at Kaminari for a second like he's grown a second head before he finally starts to walk again, expecting him to just follow.]
Wouldn't it make more sense to get him somethin' like that...yaknow, on Christmas? Nothin' sayin' we can't actually get him the game now...but then we could pitch together and surprise him with his own Switch on Christmas. Right?
[He'd probably enlist the help of Sero and some of the others because that is just So Much Money, but.]
[Denki excitedly follows after Kirishima, a wide grin spread on his face as he falls into step beside him.]
He'll probably be annoyed that we got him a game he can't play without your permission, so the look on his face when he opens that on Christmas is gonna be great! I can probably add another game with the Switch too, but he has to buy the rest on his own.

[Think Denki, what do you like when you're sick...]
Hmmmm.... oh! How 'bout a new game? Since he's stuck in bed all day, he's probably bored out of his mind!

I-I said he could borrow mine! That's gonna be a ton of money, ain't it?
