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?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ 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!

A heart?

[ Katsuki might be lifting the Eevee up a little bit so he can take a look at this tail that is stupidly big for such a small baby body. Well yeah. Kind of does look like a heart.

Then he turns her so he's looking at her with a scowl on his features. ]

A girl. Guess that make sense with how soft she already is.

[ And Bakugou gets another lick to the nose. ]

[ Kirishima wrinkles his nose, bemused. ]

I think babies are supposed to be soft.

[ In both senses of the word. ]

You don't think you were?

You know what I mean.

[ Yeah there are some advantages to having a creature that can literally evolve into just about any type Katsuki should want. However it is cute and fluffy. Cute and fluffy. No doubt Kirishima had done that on purpose too. ]

And no, I don't think I was.

Okay, man. You just came out of the gate fighting. A baby firecracker.

[ The smirk that's tugging at Kirishima's face probably betrays he has doubts. Somehow he can't really see Bakugou being anything but a fluffy chick of a baby... maybe a particularly angry one, but still.

He reaches out to give one of the tiny backpaws a light squeeze, thumb running over the Eevee's toepads and fingers rubbing into the velveteen fur briefly before he makes to start picking up eggshells. ]

Got any ideas for a name?

[ He totally had been a baby firecracker. From the start. No way Bakugou could have been anything less thank you!

The Eevee squeals a little in laughter as her paws are teased. Typh might be raising her head a bit to sniff and lick at the brown furball. The bigger Pokémon is just the affectionate sort as well. ]

Not really. I don't think "Fluff" really works.

[ Then it's a good thing Bakugou can't read his mind, isn't it?

Kirishima gives a soft chuckle as the Typholsion noses in. ]

Get 'er, Typh.

[ He teases, though he lightly blocks Machoke's reaching hand with his forearm, playing it off like part of cleaning up. No need to crowd the baby... ]

Yeah, you've been giving some pretty... [ Tame is the first word that comes to mind, but Kirishima knows better than to say it. ] Short nicknames out lately, huh?

Tch. If Machoke wants to get in a pet, let him. Everyone's gonna be fawning over the newbie the next couple of days anyway. She should get used to the attention.

[ Once the lick fest is over, Bakugou sets the thing down. The Eevee has pretty much already decided that Katsuki is her person. Totally going to settle herself on that lap. ]

You got a problem with my nicknames? Here I thought they were nicer than the ones I gave you.

[ Kirishima gives a debating look to Machoke and their ring of spectators. "Gently", is his murmur out of the corner of his mouth as he eases out of Machoke's way.

To Bakugou: ]

Nah, not a problem! Just kinda surprised is all...

[ Machoke trails his fingers gently through the Eevee's ruff of fluff. The ruffle to her fur at her head is a bit rougher, enough to make her long ears flop around. ]

Like you said, it's nice.

They don't annoy me half as much as what you do.

[ Okay so maybe that's not entirely true. Then again, Kirishima probably knows this already doesn't he? Bakugou huffs and watches the nameless Eevee enjoy herself with the pettings. Affectionate thing, this one. ]

Now I'm surprised that muscles here knows how to be gentle.

[ The slight, red - yes, he's still dying those too - brows bounce up at that. ]

Wow...

[ But then his face splits into a grin. ]

So you really like 'em, huh?

[ He leans back, resting against his Dragonair's coils much like the blonde is doing with his Typhlosion. Machoke snorts at Bakugou, possibly directly down into the teen's face/hair, but then seems content with as much petting as he's given. He steps and half-climbs over the Dragonair as a bit of lowing comes from the living room. ]

Yeah, I guess you're both surprising me lately.

[ Katuski shoots a flat glare at Kirishima for the comment. What does he mean "you really like 'em?" They're just like any pet when you come down to it, right?

He doesn't even seem bothered by Machoke's snort. ]

Not sure I really care for this attitude.
