Imagine falling over in front of Bakugou.

Maybe you’re out at a bar, or at a hero gala or something with Bakugou and you’re off with Mina grabbing a drink— so as you’re walking back to the table Bakugou is chilling at with the guys and as you’re walking down a few steps you miss your footing (or it’s your heels) and you end up falling down hard and fast.

Mina’s palm around your arm isn’t quick enough to lessen the impact, and you can already feel the embarrassment coursing through you, heat floods your cheeks as you pout over your drink which is now spilt all over the floor.

But of course, even though he’s nowhere near you Bakugou manages to see everything. It’s like his body goes straight into protective mode as he’s standing up from his seat and taking long, swift strides towards you.

Mina’s trying to lift you up by your arm, as another guy who was nearby when it happened tries to help, but Bakugou is quicker.

Taking charge of the situation and lifting you up with ease, strong arms wrap around you as he keeps his hands on your arms. Bending his knees slightly to meet your gaze as he checks that you’re alright, “You okay, baby? Yeah? Promise?”

And once he’s sure that you’re okay he’s slinging his arm around your shoulders to press a kiss against your forehead.

“Dumbass.” He murmurs softly, trying to conceal just how worried he was for you when it was the clumsiest fall.

#I rewatched the love island clip where Molly-Mae falls over #and Tommy doesn’t hesitate he’s there in 0.2 seconds #and he’s checking if she’s okay #and Maura is just like ‘I can’t believe you spilt that drink’ like the queen she is😂😭#but like the care and worry in his eyes PLEASE #bakujo #soft bakugou

Last night they were acting Moliere in Fourteenth Street; Dickens was being played through the auspices of Nigel Playfair. Further uptown, George M. Cohan was unveiling the latest George M. Cohan musical comedy. But Broadway, being eternally curious, turned out in greatest numbers at the Biltmore Theater in Forty-Seventh Street, where the result of Mae West's latest encounter with the drama was being performed. This was the exhibit—play is not precisely the word—with a vaudeville background, whose preliminary trip through the Bronx and Queens had been followed by rumors that here was something that might arouse the police to action.

So began the review by an unnamed theater critic for the Times on October 2, 1928. It appeared, not in the arts section, but following a front-page story about the police ... taking action.

The play was Pleasure Man, a reworking by Mae West of her earlier play The Drag. It dealt not with vaudeville, as the critic said, but burlesque, and finished with a lavish drag ball.

Cops were stationed at all theater exits and just as the play was ending, reserves surrounded the front. When the cast tried to leave, they were arrested—56 in all, including West, who also acted in the show.

Of course this attracted audience members (some in evening dress, the Times noted) from other theaters nearby. The presence of cabs and other cars waiting to pick up theater-goers and actors added to the chaos.

Flashlights exploded as news photographers tried to capture the actors being led into paddy wagons. The police had to make five trips to get everyone to the station house on 47th St., where they were charged with indecency.

By 2:30 in the morning, Actors Equity posted bail. West's was $500, which may have been more than the others because she was doubly guilty, having written the play as well as acted in it. The producer, director, and theater staff were not arrested.

For some reason, the cops let the next day's matinee start, but raided it halfway through and arrested everyone once more. They had their own theatrical flair.

The trial wasn't held until April of 1930, and resulted in a hung jury. By that time West was a star, having triumphed in another play of her own called Diamond Lil. The next year she went to Hollywood.
