Who: Bakugou and Kirishima
What: Using that reward trip from the cooking contest
When: Feb 12-16
Where: Sevii


[ Winning second place in the contest the other month had been all right. Katsuki is ever the perfectionist so winning should have been his focus. His goal. However, second place when he looks at who actually won isn't bad. It's the reward that could have been better in his opinion. A five day trip to a resort? Eh... It's not something that Bakugou really cares about. Then again, to many others, it's probably just what they'd want during the cold months of winter. The truth is, he had nearly forgotten about it when Kirishim had started to whine about the cold and "why suffer more winter when they could go away for a couple of days?"

Because, really, who else would Bakugou take? After a couple of days of more begging, he actually caves. So they go ahead and do just that - head to the island resort in Sevii. The place itself is pretty great, so needless to say that he was expecting a pretty spacious room. And it is! It's just what you would expect from a place won in a contest. Except... There's only one bed. One bed. But you know what? Katsuki doesn't even care anymore. It is what it is.

But not today. Nope! Today is a beach trip. Katsuki's already changed and getting stuff together to head out, but there are some very rambunctious and hyper creatures running about his feet! ]

Oi, Shitty Hair! Come here and get these things under control!

[ It hadn't surprised Kirishima in the least that Bakugou had won a prize in the cooking competition ( and really, he thought if the blonde had bothered with a little more showmanship, his friend might have taken first place ). What had surprised him was the other boy's almost total indifference to the concept of a warm getaway. How many times had it been now that he'd seen Katsuki turtling into whatever he wore to combat the city's winter chill whenever they were out together? Kirishima didn't mind running around without a shirt in some of this weather and even he was over it!

So yeah, Eijiro might have done a little bullying and begging - for everyone's sake except their Ice-types - to get them to Sevii's Island #1. He didn't understand why he needed to convince Katsuki to go try to have fun, but he managed. They made it. As for the bed... well, so far as Kirishima was concerned, they'd been sleeping together ( that is, in separate sleeping bags and hotel beds ) for months. It wasn't going to be weird unless they made it weird. Right? Or maybe they'd settle who got it with a competition of some sort; they'd cross that bridge when they got to it.

Right now, Kirishima's coming free of the bathroom with a beach bag over one of his shoulders, having successfully wrangled up some of the free resort towels for their excursion. It was fine so long as they brought them back, surely. To no one's surprise, he's shirtless, but he's also barefoot and for once wearing his hair lax and back in a ponytail. His swim trunks are a burnt orange on the backside and a blue on the front, the hems of each leg resembling a pair of Gible devouring them - little fabric teeth included and all. ]

Alright, c'mon, you two. There's plenty of time for that out in the sun!

[ Without hesitation, he crouches down and scoops up Gauntlet, his Rockruff, mid-sprint after Bakugou's Eevee with a well-timed hand right under the belly. Being deaf, Gauntlet doesn't bark after his playmate as much as he gives a throaty little 'boof'. Kirishima sets him in the towel bag before chasing after the Eevee himself, still leaned over. Possibly Bakugou will rue this request as he might have another, much larger creature getting in his way now. ]

[ Is Kirishima really all that surprised that he needed to convince Bakugou to go off and do something "fun?" This guy might as well be a workaholic. Even here, he's constantly training or making plans when not trying to actually contribute to their travel expenses and future TM funds. It'd actually be nice to be able to eat well while on the road and be comfortable, yeah? Kirishima would benefit from not eating cheap ass food all the time!

He gives the other a scoff. Katsuki really loathes the redhead's lack of fashion sense. Of course he'd think that Gible-themed shorts are cool. Bakugou just has a pair of plain black shorts - coupled with a shirt and sandals because he's not a hobo trying to pass as a person. However it is a bit weird to see the hair tied back instead of up in its usual spikes. ]

Pipsqueaks are the easy ones. It's your Machoke.

[ The Eevee and Gauntlet aren't really a problem at all. Babies do just run around. But Machoke hasn't really matured at all since its evolution, unlike Typh. Mostly because the thing is by the door, already making a show of needing it opened. He is ready to go so why isn't anyone else? ]

He got them worked up in the first place.

[ If youth isn't for surviving on a bunch of cheap ass food, then what is it for? It'll be fine. The day for raking in badge money has to be on the horizon in spring, but for now? A little lull between grinding in Goldenrod and hitting the road ought to be good for morale.

Kirishima gives a glance towards Machoke, blindly trying to catch the Eevee with his other hand. He gives a soft little sigh to himself. While his Pokemon partner had grown, his maturity in some areas was somewhat lacking. As a fighter he had certainly become more disciplined, and when it came to being a protector for the little ones Kirishima had been pleasantly surprised to find out he seemed to be trustworthy. But Machoke could be entirely self-absorbed at other times, ignorant to how he might be inconveniencing others. If Eijiro had to guess, the Pokemon probably doesn't realize any help is needed and was satisfying his boredom by riling up the puppies ( kit? ). ]

What's left to do?

[ The redhead asks Bakugou, deciding to try to solve two problems rather than escalating things. He can already see Machoke flaring up a bit defensively as he catches the blonde's accusatory tone. ]

[ Since Kirishima is distracted, Bakugou scoops up Eevee up in his arms. He's already put most of his into balls so that he can readily carry them into the elevator. They won't all fit otherwise. ]

Put everyone you want to take away, obviously. They can't run loose in the hallways and in the elevator.

[ Come on, Red. Think. ]

[machismost]

Oh! I'm all set, then.

[ Kirishima pats where a belt is strung across his hips, easy to miss thanks to the garish Gible display. At least three Pokeballs are readily visible from this angle, riding over one of Kirishima's sides, and the others are hinted at. Even if it was going to be days that they were here at the resort, the redhead had picked his 'first string' with some care. Gauntlet and Machoke were two of his allowed six, of course. The others he had figured in between their age and type.

The redhead's free hand now delves into his bag, giving Gauntlet some scritches between the ears along the way. Katsuki has taken some responsibility for his Eeevee by now. ]

Pretty sure, anyway. Towels, sunblock, a couple toys... Am I missin' anything else?

[apshot]

[ Katsuki isn't wearing his belt for this. Honestly the rest of his are tucked into the bag that he has slung over his shoulder. Don't be misled - it is meticulously packed and all items specifically accounted for. The blonde doesn't miss a beat. ]

Don't think so. There's umbrellas set up down at the beach, right?

[ Because Bakugou intends on being just lazy and letting the kids play. Get it all out of their systems and make fools of themselves. He won't be engaging in any of that. ]
