User blog:Pandas113/Story to Give Kaminari Some Love!

Checkmate
Kaminari stared at the board in front of him, Bakugou sitting across from him. “Remember, if you lose,” Bakugou started, smirking like a cocky asshole. “you have to be my servant for a week.”

“And if I win, you have to be nice to everyone in class for a week.”

A chess board sat between them, each piece in its starting place. Kaminari had been fed up with Bakugou’s attitude and wanted to take him down a few pegs. The explosive teen didn’t react too well to the snarky remark and somehow they ended up here. Their classmates surrounded them, all of them rooting for Bakugou. Kaminari wasn’t known for his intellect or strategy.

“Well, princesses first. Make your move,” Bakugou chortled. Kaminari just shrugged. He moved the pawn in front of his king two spaces forward. Bakugou raised his eyebrow and moved his pawn in front of his bishop two spaces forward to meet him. ‘Maybe I can make him nervous about my confrontation.’ Bakugou thought. Kaminari didn’t take the bluff. He captured Bakugou’s pawn, moving it off to the side.

Jiro laughed. “I swear, if Kaminari wins this…”

Sero took a seat. “If Kaminari’s any good, then we’ll be here for a while. I don’t expect Bakugou to give him an easy win.”

Deku hummed, watching Kaminari’s face. The electric-blonde didn’t seem put off or nervous. What was he..?

Bakugou brought up another pawn to meet his, being right next to it. He already had a strategy in mind, and since Kaminari was inexperienced, it wouldn’t be hard to pull off.

Kaminari picked up his queen, grinning.

“Kacchan, that’s checkmate,” Deku snorted, his hand over his mouth. Kaminari had placed his queen on the block against the wall, h5, making a clear diagonal checkmate. His king couldn’t move.

Bakugou looked at Kaminari in shock who was rubbing the back of his neck. “What the actual fuck?”

He dropped his hand. “I’m not as stupid as you think. To be honest, your confidence to win clouded your sense of awareness in the game. You didn’t expect anything from me that would even come close to threatening your king for another two turns, right? I used to play chess when I was a kid. I never really got out, so that was a fun alternative.”

Todoroki raised his eyebrows. “Only three turns?”

“Be nice, Bakugo! You have to do it for a week, so consider today a practice run,” he winked, standing up. “Anyone want to come get some ice cream with me?”

A few people went with him, mostly nervous that Bakugou was going to explode.
