we can do the tango just for two

# BAKUGOU KATSUKI

he's more of a cook than a baker, but if you want to bake then he'll do it for you

he'll pretend he's having a bad time until you suggest doing it yourself and he stops you from doing whatever you're doing and takes over himself

"that's not how you whisk it!" "it is, katsuki" "let me show you how it's really done" "i know what i'm doing!"

he doesn't mean to do that but he does and he'd be lying if he said he feels guilty. he doesn't

the amount of times this boy has ended up making a mess of the kitchen from trying to fight you for the bowl

when he's reluctantly offering some to his classmates he'll claim he showed you how to do it

showed you how to do it my ass

if anyone has something to say that isn't along the lines of "this is so good!" he's going straight for their throat

"it's a bit floury-" "THE HELL DID YOU SAY?"

bakugou is your no.1 protector

# HADO NEJIRE

a natural baker

she's been baking all her life and it always tastes incredible

you'd always called yourself a good baker until you did it with nejire

cupcake master

you mention baking and she's pulling out a list of recipes longer than you could imagine that she's been wanting to try

when you bake together she lets you do a lot of the work

she doesn't mind having to kneed the dough and will always do it for you

"it'll get your hands dirty" "it'll all be worth it in the end, y/n!"

when she offers some to her friends, she's saying that it was you who did all the work

she denies it when you say she's the one who did it

"y/n made it! i barely helped, they're a natural at this!" "actually, it was mostly nejire-" "don't be silly! take your credit!"

# TODOROKI SHOUTO

cluelessTM

he has no idea what he's meant to be doing but he still tries for you

you have to show him how to do everything

but he's a fast learner

in most cases

the halloween cookie fiasco is something that will never be forgotten

"um, y/n?" "shouto?" "they melted" "what" "they melted together like soup" "SOUP?"

he always reads the recipe over twice now to make sure he doesn't put in too much sugar

he never said makes the same mistake twice though !! that's always a good thing when it comes to bakers

he's pretty good at it, but not as good as his sister is

your eyes wander from his face down to your feet to see where you're stepping, then to the glass doors of the balcony mere feet away from the both of you. you face him once more and see his gaze hasn't left yours the whole time, his crown beginning to slant from the constant movements.

the song comes to an end yet eren doesn't release your hand, watching the people focus on preparing for the next dance. he uses this as your moment to get away, a soft whisper for you to follow him and leading you towards the balcony you had been admiring.

you mask your shock and fall into step with him, not allowing yourself an opportunity to falter with eren walking directly into your plan. you thank him as he holds the door open for you, eren watching you approach the edge and rest your hands on the railing.

he allows the door to close behind him and he takes two steps so he's at your side, letting his hands dangle over the other side of the railing and resting his weight onto his forearms. eren basks in the moonlight and looks over the view of paradis, the water gleaming in the horizon past the buildings. the stars twinkle above you both and the only sound you can hear is the music inside, muffled by the closed balcony doors.

"this is where you're planning to do it, right?" eren asks, breaking the silence fallen over the two of you. he can see you stare at him in feigned confusion from the corner of his eyes, but he continues to stare ahead of himself. "don't look so surprised. did you think i wouldn't catch on?"

you sigh, turning away from him. "i hoped."

eren slowly nods his head, adjusting the crown he wears. he clears his throat and straightens his back, hitting both palms roughly against the railing and staring directly at you. "then do it, get it over with. what method are you planning to use?"

your jaw drops at his words, appearing careless that he's speaking to you about how you're going to kill him. "eren." you try to say something else and scan his face to get a read on his expression, but nothing happens.

"you were probably planning on pushing me over the railing when you were certain no one was looking and then calling for help, yes? that's quite a smart plan, y/n, i admire you."

the way he speaks so calmly about his own murder unsettles you, as if he's the assassin on the balcony. you swallow hard and give a small nod to tell him he's right in his guess, pursing your lips together.

"let's get this over with, then."

you gasp as he pushes himself to sit up on the railing, swinging his legs over. eren keeps himself in spot by clutching the metal beneath him with his hands, refusing to let himself fall yet.

"push me."

you stay still, wrapping your head around what's happening. "what?"

eren nods. "you heard me, finish the job," he insists, still waiting for you to make your move.

minutes pass and he's still in place on the railings with a smirk tugging at his lips, a result of your stillness. eren climbs back over onto the balcony and stands tall by your side. you refuse to make eye contact with him like he's trying to get you to.

"if you're marley's best, then i'm sure we'll have no issue with the upcoming invasion. seems commander arlert was concerned for no reason at all," he comments, fixing his suit. you finally look at him as he confirms what marley had been worried about, jaw clenching. "an easy win."

"you won't have an opportunity to attack us," you seeth, nails digging into the palms of your hands in irritation.

he smiles, realising how he's gotten under your skin. "i think i will, y/n. because if you're the best killer marley's got and you're on my land, i believe they've lost their chances of winning."

you bite your cheek, attempting to think of a way to continue with the reason you're here now that what could have been your sole opportunity has been lost. you face away from his stare, looking to the ocean. "i'll go back."

"and tell them you couldn't kill me?" he asks, raising an eyebrow at your attempt. "why couldn't you kill me, y/n?"

he doesn't get a response to his question as no words form on your tongue, eyebrows furrowing as you try to come up with an answer.

why couldn't you kill him?

"maybe you've grown to like me."

to this you scoff, rolling your eyes. you look over your shoulder to him, eyebrow quirked up. "oh, please. as if i could have feelings for somebody like you, yeager."

eren fights back his grin and wanders back towards the door, pulling them both wide open so the two of you can return indoors. he waits for you to walk past him so he can lean over your shoulder, hand on the small of your back.
