kaminari couldn't stop laughing.
bakugou had invited him to his room for their usual study sessions. they both knew the studying didn't last long and always ended with them being a romantic. they were on the ground, their homework long forgotten as bakugou placed kisses all over kaminari's face while tickling his sides.
"kat— katsuki, stop!" kaminari tried to push himself off the stronger boy's lap but bakugou kept a firm grip on him.
"not until you apologize."
"i— i am very very s—sorry for teasing you in public!!" kaminari continued laughing loudly, he was sure bakugou's floormates could hear him.
"you are forgiven." bakugou stopped tickling him although the kisses on his face did not stop.
"now you're just being a nuisance." kaminari chuckled, caressing bakugou's cheeks. bakugou stopped to get a good look at kaminari's red face. he couldn't stop smiling, he was smiling so much that his cheek bones started hurting.
"those are such big words for a dunce." bakugou joked, pulling the other boy closer. kaminari gently punched his chest with a pout. bakugou leaned in a placed a kiss on the corner of his mouth. kaminari's face turned reddened more than it was.
kaminari bent down and placed his lips with bakugou's. no matter how many times they kissed, bakugou could never stop melting into kaminari ever single time. he gripped on to his hoodie that his lover was wearing to pull him impossibly closer.
kaminari's mere being recked bakugou bad. so bad that he was sure he didn't know what to do without him. he became so dependent on him that life without him seemed so obsolete.
when kaminari pulled away in desperate need of oxygen, bakugou kept his eyes closed, reminiscing the kiss. kaminari chuckled again, making bakugou open his eyes.
"what's so funny?" bakugou tilted his head in confusion.
"sometimes i truly wonder if this is real because there is no way in hell that i just ruined the bakugou katsuki."
"who said you ruined me?" bakugou playfully rolled his eyes.
kaminari went down to his neck, bakugou hitched his breath. kaminari's soft lips started sucking on his neck as he looked bakugou directly in the eye. the ash blond heated up, red going from his ears to his neck. kaminari smirked at the reaction, removing his lips to avoid making a bruise.
"see! ruined." he grinned. bakugou covered his face with his hands, avoiding kaminari's insufferable teasing grin. "aww babe! i wanna see your beautiful face." kaminari prying his hands off his face.
"i'm breaking this off." bakugou buried his face in kaminari's shoulder.
"well sadly you can't."
they went back and fourth, kaminari teasing and bakugou cursing him back.
"i've gotta go." kaminari said but made no effort to tear away from bakugou. his forehead on bakugou's, their breath intermingling with the other.
i love you. i love you. i love you. was all that was going through bakugou's mind. he thought it was a little stupid that they haven't said it yet even though they both knew they felt the same.
"bye katsuki." kaminari sluggishly got off bakugou, it felt as if he was being forced to. bakugou snatched his hand, pulling him back.
"stay the night?"
"finally. i thought you would never ask." kaminari attached himself back on bakugou, his legs tightly wrapping around bakugou's hips.
"you could have just asked. you've stayed over before."
"with our friends. it's never just been just the two of us.." kaminari trailed off.
bakugou and kaminari hadn't disclosed the status of their relationship with anyone yet, it was still new and fragile. they didn't want to feel the pressure of being an out queer couple at the moment.
(bakugou wanted kaminari all to himself also.)
.
kaminari could confirm that waking up next to bakugou was the best. his calm sleepy face, his messy spiky hair, his arms around kaminari's middle, it was all he could ever want. that wasn't even the best part, the sweet burnt caramel smell surrounded him, intoxicating his thoughts.
kaminari wasn't sure if it was healthy to already start think of their future together. he was just so in love with the male that he couldn't even fathom a future where they weren't together.
bakugou groaned, his eyes slowly opening. the red eyes kaminari was obsessed with stared back at his golden ones.
"morning." kaminari blushed at bakugou's deeper raspy voice. "why yer so red?"
"n— nothing!"
bakugou hummed, pulling kaminari closer to him. kaminari nuzzled bakugou's neck, making himself comfortable. they stay like that till a knock on the door made them instantly pull apart.
"bakugou? you in there?" kirishima spoke from the other side.
"shit." bakugou mumbled under his breath.
"what is it?" kaminari whispered.
"i promised shitty hair that we would go for an early morning run." bakugou whispered back.
"on a sunday!?" kaminari accidently said louder than expected.
"shh!"
"bakubro? is someone in there with you?" kirishima knocked again.
"i'll be there in 10 minutes, shitty hair." bakugou yelled out.
"we'll meet in the commons area." kirishima finally left, letting kaminari let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"i have to go." bakugou told him in a hushed tone.
"i heard."
bakugou stole a quick kiss from kaminari before sitting up. kaminari tried to lure him back for more however bakugou had more willpower than he thought. he pouted, looking at his boyfriend's every move.
"are you going to watch me get undressed, blondie?" bakugou smirked, removing his shirt. "pretty perverted if i say so myself."
kaminari heated up as he speedily buried his face in his pillow. "you're such a tease." kaminari had seen bakugou shirtless before yet this felt different in a way.
"you can look up now, pikachu."
kaminari peek to see bakugou dressed in his usual black tank top and sports shorts. he smiled, laying his cheek on his arm, silently watching his lover. i love you so fucking much. kaminari thought, it was on the tip of his tongue however he didn't say anything.
"i'm off. i'll see you later?" kaminari nodded.
bakugou stole one more kiss then left kaminari alone. kaminari sighed, turning to lay on his back.
gosh, how i love him so.
.
bakugou might as well kill kirishima for spoiling his perfect morning. he would have loved to soak up morning kaminari whole, kiss him and talk about anything and everything till they were forced out of bed. nonetheless, he was a good friend that kept his promises so he couldn't exactly say no to kirishima and he would so definitely ask why he was unable to join.
"bakubro, finally!" kirishima greeted.
"let's just get this over with." bakugou filled a bottle with water, leaving kirishima sitted on the couch.
"damn dude, you in a hurry or something?" bakugou scoffed at the question.
after their 30 minute run, they took a water break. the two friends were sitting on a bench, it was early to be awake on a sunday so there was no one around.
"i hope i'm not being rude or crossing the line but are you in a relationship?" kirishima asked.
bakugou froze, him and kaminari promised to keep their relationship a secret because of all the stress that came with being public. they discussed to keep it for just them till after high school and finally tell their friends.
"why do you ask?" bakugou finally replied, setting for more neutral answer.
"i may be incorrect but i heard another voice in your dorm so i thought— actually you know what it was stupid!" kirishima dismissed his thoughts which, bakugou was grateful for. he wasn’t sure how to steer the conversation away from it without lying to his friend.
"you're damn right, shitty hair." bakugou stood up. "now let's leave, i think i've had enough for today." that was a lie, he wanted to see kaminari. hoping he was still in his room.
kirishima followed him back to the dorms, engaging in useless banter.
when bakugou arrived back to his room after he finished taking a shower, there was no way he would allow kaminari to cuddle his sweaty self. he entered his room in a towel around his waist, finding kaminari passed out on his bed. he changed into his over worn black t-shirt with a white skull and a pair of black sweatpants. finally entering bed to cuddle his blonde boyfriend.
kaminari buried his face in bakugou's chest with a small smile on his face. bakugou caught it, pushing kaminari away. "were you fucking awake the whole time?" kaminari burst into laughter.
"don't worry, kacchan, i did not look at you changing." kaminari placed a hand on his heart like he swore, but it only made bakugou doubt him more.
"you fucker." bakugou turned his back to him.
"nooo! kacchan, i promise i didn't! please cuddle me, babe?!" kaminari shaking him to give him attention.
"ugh!" bakugou turned around and was attacked by kaminari quickly attaching himself to him. bakugou sighed, letting his arms roam around his lover’s back. kaminari hummed, letting bakugou know he was content with the touch.
.
"has anyone noticed kami and bakugou acting more touchy lately?" mina questioned. she was at the common room, talking to her friends when she realised bakugou and kaminari weren't with them.
"not really, kaminari is a very clingy person." sero said, not looking up from his game of uno with todoroki.
"his not wrong." todoroki mumbles in agreement.
"although i can see where mina is coming from. kacchan doesn't really like physical touch." midoriya was sitted on the couch with uraraka's head on his lap.
"now that you mention it, he never pushes kaminari away when he gets touchy." uraraka said, running her fingers through midoriya's scars.
"maybe he's too tired to dodge them." kirishima shrugged.
"it's just that bakugou has been acting more happy lately, it may be because of something else though he has been ditching us lately." mina laid her head on kirishima's chest, letting out an exhausted breath.
"so you're suggesting that they're together?" midoriya questioned.
"i don't know, it's just like— i don't know!" mina groaned. "if they were they do know we would be happy for them, right?!"
"babe, some people like to keep things private. i mean we shouldn't butt in. i felt bad when i asked bakugou about the voice i heard in his room in the morning, he didn’t want to talk about it." kirishima mentioned.
"you heard a voice in his room?! and you didn't tell me?"
"it's bakugou's business and he doesn't owe us any explanation to why he would like to keep it private. denki's too if they're together. all we can do is be patient till they tell us, for now we keep quiet."
"i agree with kirishima. kacchan would tell us if he wanted to, we just have to allow that he would prefer to keep his relationship a secret." midoriya replied. uraraka nodded her head, in support of her partner. everyone else seemed to argee as well.
"fine! i guess i was feel a bit left out but you're right. it's not our job to meddle." mina played with her hair, dropping her allegations.
"good, now do you wanna play monopoly?" sero asked with a tedious smile, pulling the board from their games basket. everyone immediately joined him and todoroki around the coffee table to play, others like tsuyu and ojiro joined also.
.
"haven't you realized that our friends have started giving us more space?" kaminari asked bakugou one day after extensively taking note of their friends slight change in behaviour.
"kinda. i have a feeling those extras caught on."
bakugou and kaminari were taking a walk on the school track. they weren't holding hands to kaminari's dismay however they were walking close which was a little better.
"it may not be that bad.." kaminari looked at his boyfriend. "we don't necessarily have to tell them now but we could be more free around them— if you want of course!" kaminari observed bakugou, trying to see any sign of discomfort.
"sure." he grabbed kaminari's hand, putting them in his pocket. kaminari chuckled, taking a quick look around before placing a peck on bakugou's cheek. kaminari loved seeing the blush on bakugou's face, it made him feel complete.
"i love you." kaminari said out of the blue.
bakugou didn't say anything for a few second making kaminari doubt himself. he was about to taking back before bakugou spoke. "i love you too, sparky."
kaminari turned his face away, a sappy smile present on his lips. I wanna kiss him. kaminari thought, looking back at bakugou who was as red as him.
bakugou stopped, pulling kaminari through their linked hands. he bent down to kiss kaminari on the lips. kaminari quickly kissed him back, not bothering about who may be watching them. when they pulled away they just smiled at each other, their foreheads touching.
.
1 year later—
midoriya and uraraka were hosting a reunion party at their shared apartment. it had been a couple of months since they graduated and began the work of pro heroes. it seemed to be fairing them all well.
bakugou and kaminari had also decided to finally announce their relationship to their friends even though they were pretty sure they already knew.
kaminari started clanking on his glass with a fork to get everyone's attention. they all turned to their friend, jirou lowering the volume of the music. "my dearest friends, we have something to tell you." kaminari teased, pointing at bakugou. mina looked at kirishima, jumping up and down in excitement. she and some others already had an idea of what they were going to be told.
"me and our resident hot head—" everyone burst into laughter, bakugou threatened blowing the whole place up if they didn't shut their traps. "where was i?"
"you and our resident hot head!" mina shouted out to remind him.
"oh yes, thank you pinky." he winked at her and she giggled in return. "so as i was say—" bakugou pushed him away from their make believe stage.
"we're dating." bakugou simply stated.
"hey! i was going to do that!?"
"you were taking too damn long, sparky." bakugou snarled.
"babe!!" kaminari pouted.
they later realized their class was laughing, they turned to see them looking at them with knowing looks. "what's so funny?" bakugou's eyebrows pinched together.
"mina was right, kacchan. you two are perfect for each other." midoriya smiled.
"congrats, you two." sero wrapped his arms around bakugou and kaminari's shoulders. "i wouldn't like to ruin the moment or whatever but all knew."
"we had a feeling." kaminari replied.
"so how long had you two been together?" uraraka asked.
"since the middle of our third year so not that long ago." kaminari answered.
their friends didn't ask anymore questioned they were uncomfortable answering and congratulated them. the graduated class went back to their party, leaving bakugou and kaminari alone.
the couple sent the rest of the party dancing with their friends and each other, able to mingle freely.
