Who: Bakugou and Kirishima
What: there's a surprise waiting for Bakugou and his Pokémon can't wait
When: Eh aboutish nowish?
Where: around Goldenrod

[ Shopping. That's where it's at. Since they're buckled down in Goldenrod during the winter months, both Bakugou and Kirishima have been able to save back. They're both working jobs and that means they can actually afford better meals and an actual place to stay. That's what they're out and about for at the moment. Honestly, Katsuki can take care of this by himself and would really prefer to. Why, you ask?

Because the redhead gets stupidly distracted. Here they are in the department store and the idiot has run off. Unsurprisingly, it's by the TMs. Okay, the blonde can understand the interest in them. It would be nice to be able to teach their Pokémon different kinds of moves. The problem is they're pretty expensive over all? Katsuki knows they can afford one or two, but it's probably hard for someone as overeager as Kirishima to be reasonable. ]

Oi. What happened to "let me help you pick out meat" huh?

Holy crap, you guys, I was seriously startin' to freak out!

[ Though he's relieved and excited, he's also briefly confused by all the excitement. Surely at least Machoke and Typh have been around when one of Kirishima's compounding number of adoptees hatched? Or Bakugou's Froakie?

Oh, is this maybe the first time a lot of them have been out of their balls together outside of camp? It had taken a bit to get enough money to get out of the hotel rooms and into this space, meaning a great deal weren't witnesses to Kirishima desperately ruining a hotel bathroom to get his surprise Magikarp into some water. ]

Is this the first time some of you get to watch the egg hatch?

[ He looks around at their congregated Pokemon, smile growing into a wider grin by the moment until he's beaming expectantly at the blonde. Come to think of it, this is the first time they've been together when one of their eggs hatched. ]

Well? C'mon, Bakugou! Or are you gonna keep 'em waiting with a last-minute guess?

[ It's probably a combination of everyone finally being out of their balls and wanting to know what Bakugou is getting. Kirishima never said what the gift was for or what was inside.

So the blonde huffs as Kirishima makes a bigger deal out of it than what he would have. Katsuki just meanders over and takes the egg out of its case. ]

I ain't gonna keep them waiting. The alarm is kind of annoying. [ Bakugou snorts. ] Actually surprised that you can contain yourself.

[ He sits on the floor, putting the egg in his lap. Okay now what. ]

[ Kirishima doesn't really get why the gift has to be for anything. Bakugou's his friend and he saw an opportunity to give him something cool! At least he thought it was pretty interesting, a Pokemon with so much potential to change. What would it become under Bakugou's training?

The redhead doesn't hesitate to move over and plop right down across from his friend, crossing his legs and leaning eagerly forward with his hands against his ankles. His lower lip catches a moment between his sharp teeth in anticipation and an attempt to stay calm.

The wattage on his smile dims to something more slight as he looks between the blonde and the egg. In a truly impressive display of restraint from such an excitable teen, Kirishima murmurs lowly. ]

Try sayin' something to it? You're gonna be its trainer and all.

[ That's because Kirishima is just too good of a guy. Always looking for that silver lining. Seeing the good things instead of the bad. So naturally he doesn't think much of just getting random gifts for friends. Katsuki is the sort of guy that needs a reason for it.

He looks up at the redhead all the same. Katuski can tell how excited Kirishima is and how much the other is holding back. The blonde then glances around the room and sees all of the critters trying to find a comfortable place to be. Typh doesn't seem to care as she slips behind Katsuki and stretches out, curling around her trainer. Bakugou's used to it and leans back against her. ]

Say something to it? Like get the fuck out so you can see the world?

[ He gives a little chuckle at that. ]

Sure man, whatever works.

[ Kirishima takes a glance down at the egg before he leans in, tilting his head so that his ear is almost right up against the shell and his cherry spikes are close enough to tickle at the blonde's fingers. For a moment, he's silent, keening his senses in an attempt to hear any activity in the egg. ]

[ Kirishima gets the flattest look for that... ]

Are you really that stupid.

[ Rather, he figured he'd be scolded for saying something like that to what would be considered a "baby."

Of course the redhead is going to kind of pay for shoving his face so close to the egg. With a sudden burst, a furry paw breaks out of the shell! ...Unfortunately right against Kirishima's cheek. ]

[ Sure, he could have chastised Bakugou, but he also figures swear words are so commonplace to the guy now it's just a part of his natural vernacular more than a conscious choice. And besides that? It's not like a brand new Pokemon knows what's course in their language and what isn't - at least he doesn't think so - and it isn't like a toddler that's going to scream 'fuck' in public. Perhaps if they'd had a baby Chatot or similar creature, he'd feel differently, but...

Nope, Bakugou's not going to get scolded for his filthy mouth.

Rather, Kirishima gives a surprised and delighted gasp as that paw slaps him in the face. He doesn't even fully pull away, just looks up at the blonde excitedly with his cheek growing as red as his hair. ]

It worked!

[ Still a stage-whisper level. Truly stunning. ]

Ha...

[ Why did that work? Actually it's a little funny that a furry appendage smacked his best friend here but come on... ]

If you're gonna kick this Shitty Hair in the face you gotta try harder than that.

[ Apparently that's also going to be motivation. Sort of. Katsuki might take it that way as there is another crack of the egg. Though this time it's more towards the blonde. ]

The other direction.

[ Kirishima, ever the good sport, turns the other cheek towards the egg. Hey, if it's what gets the baby out... ]

Yeah, c'mon! Show us what you got!

[ Okay, here comes the volume. An immediate wave of heat starts to wash over his own back as he feels some of his own Pokemon leaning over him. Naginata, his Dragonair, has butted her snout under Kirishima's arm, nearly lancing his forearm on her horn. ]

[ Hopefully that cut won't be bleeding too bad? Katsuki is about to say something about it when another leg pops out! Then a fourth. It's basically an egg with four legs about ready to run around. ]

Now hold on a minute!

[ Katsuki picks up the egg! ]

Don't go running around yet! You'll bump into shit!

[ Oh no... that's so cute. Eijiro's wounds will heal, it's fine. He's more focused on the moment. ]

It's armored! Don't we want the shell off?

[ But even as he says it, Kirishima isn't quite managing to suppress a smile. His bro's really protective where it counts, huh? ]

[ The thing inside the egg actually makes a bit of a cry. It wiggles a bit to get it's legs inside the egg again. Once it does, Katsuki sets it back down...

THEN IT JUST BURSTS FORTH...

On it's back somehow with it's tail bigger than it is! ]

What....

[ Kirishima gives a little shout of surprise and approval as the egg just explodes with fur and oh god, can his heart handle the fact it looks like more than half the contents was a poof of brown fluff? His Pokemon give their own various cries and grumbles.

But the redhead ends up looking at Katsuki, encouraging. ]

Say hi or somethin', man...

[ Katsuki is just kind of looking at the Eevee. The Eevee is looking up at him. Seems like it is a pretty awkward moment for them both. ]

The hell am I supposed to -

[ But the Eevee takes matters into its own hands. It rolls over... Puts its paws on Katsuki's chest... AND LICKS THE BLONDE'S FACE. ]

[ Tears sting threateningly at the corners of the redhead's eyes as the baby Eevee just immediately takes to the blonde and licks his face; this is so much and his heart is full. Kirishima's arms reach out to helpfully try and grasp Bakugou's forearms and guide them towards holding the baby a little more securely. ]

Heey... [ Kirishima's 'baby voice' isn't the cooing sort of pitchy thing, more like a soft rasp. ] Welcome to the world, l'il one.

[ So help him, he is going to make you pet the fucking Eevee, Bakugou. ]

[ And Kirishima is lucky that he is who he is. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to touch Katsuki at all. The only reason that the blonde doesn't smack the other away, really. So his arms go around the thing and apparently that's what it seems to want.

Katsuki himself is a little bit baffled because that only seems to encourage the Eevee to to lick him even more. ]

Okay! Okay you can stop! Just -

[ Nope. That little tongue is getting him right on the mouth and everything. ]

[ The redhead can't help a quiet little laugh, giving the Eevee a gentle ruffle between the ears before he moves to stand. ]

Hold on, I'm gonna grab some chow so you can feed 'em.

[ He leaves the room and Bakugou to his affectionate fate for a moment, returning later with a bag of the baby chow he'd been feeding his own little collection - the calfs have been surprisingly quiet, either resting beneath the press of Machoke's hand or rolling in place in Mochi's case.

Kirishima makes to set the opened bag of food next to Katsuki. ]

On your left.

[ Meanwhile Katsuki is just sitting there. By the time that Kirishima gets back, he's got a grumpy, yet resigned expression. It's like he's accepted his fate with and overly affectionate baby now trying to climb on his shoulder to better get at the blonde's face. ]

Couldn't get here fast enough...

[ But the baby Eevee seems to understand what is going on when the food is set down. With a startled cry, it tumbles off of Katsuki's shoulder. Before he can get to the food, the Eevee is shoving its face in the bag. ]

Someone's greedy.

[ The fact Bakugou hasn't tried to pawn the baby off to the half-dozen Pokemon in the room or kicked up a real fuss makes Kirishima suspect... he must like it. Or kind of fucking love it. Now whether his friend is aware of that? That's another matter.

In any case, Kirishima feels encouraged. So far this is a best case scenario.

He laughs again as the Eevee nearly upends itself getting into the food. ]

Hey, it did just spend all that energy busting out of the shell!

Not sure how to tell if it's a boy or girl since Eevees don't seem to have any color variations between the two.

[ His smile stretches a bit. ]

Well? Did I surprise ya?

[ He probably isn't remotely aware. Katsuki huffs and goes to pick up the little Eevee out of the bag - though it's making the cutest little growly eating noises. The tail is rapidly swishing back and forth. ]

No excuses for bad manners...

[ Katsuki puts the critter into his lap more firmly. He'll take the food in his hand and allow the Eevee to eat. ]

Check and see if there's another way to tell?

[ A huff and maybe he looks off to the side. ]

The hell you getting me something this fluffy for.

[ The little growls of protest remind Kirishima a bit of himself. When he's starving, he's voracious. Bakugou's good enough to bring the bag as opposed to testing just how hangry the baby gets.

At the command, Kirishima pats his Dragonair. ]

Hey Nagi, can you bring me the 'Dex? It's in my bag.

[ She perks and hums before slithering out of the room. She was singularly taking up most of the door before. ]

It's an Eevee! The Evolution Pokemon. You can give 'em just about any type of evolution stone and they'll evolve into whatever type you want from that. I mean there's other types - Dark, Psychic, and Fairy - I don't know how you get those as well but man, I figured they could be kind of a pitch-hitter for your team?

Anyway, what's wrong with being fluffy right now? It's a BABY, man!

[ He watches the Dragonair leave and come back. By then he's on another small handful of food. That's all this greedy little thing is going to get right now. No sense in making it sick.

Katsuki is about to say something about there being something wrong with HIM getting something else fluffy, but he looks down at the Eevee and actually decides against it. Whatever. It's definitely not timid and the idea had been a good one, right? ]

Guess that would depend on what I wanted to evolve it into.

Yeah. You can figure that out whenever. It obviously likes you, so I don't think there's gonna be a big worry whenever you do decide what you need it to be.

[ Nagi comes back in to deliver his PokeDex, and Kirishima points it before reading the information. ]

Show me the tail?

[ Grab that floof, Bakugou. ]

[ It's true... But maybe that's because Katsuki is the first thing that it has seen? The blonde doesn't know how it works.

Without another word he picks the now-full baby up. It swishes its tail happily once more.

More round shapes on the white/cream portion of the tail as it were. ]

[ The redhead gives a couple of glances between the 'Dex and the swishing tail. ]

Huh... it really does kinda look like a heart!

According to this, she's a girl!
