Chapter Text
Bakugou was at work again today and Kirishima was coming soon once he got word that his favorite person that made coffee was there. He had intended to keep it secret for a while longer but hearing the person you love idolize someone who, even if it was him, he had no idea and it made him...for a lack of better words, jealous. Essentially, Kirishima was talking about someone he hadn’t even met despite the person being in front of his eyes everyday.
He did tell Kirishima he worked at a coffee shop but he refused to tell him which one because it would only lead him closer to his secret and he didn’t need distractions while he work. Kirishima saying “If I knew where you worked I’d probably do my work there-Ouch!” and Bakugou hitting his fist on his head as he muttered with a blush,”as if I’d need distractions idiot.”
However, his jealous ways were getting to him and today was his breaking point.
Kirishima: His coffee is the only thing that gets me up every morning
Bakugou: wow...not like its the 348th time you’ve said that
Kirishima: what...you jealous??
Bakugou: why would I be?
Kirishima: hmm hmmm
Kirishima: whatever you say….what did the geologist villain say when he got caught by the scooby doo gang?
Bakugou: its too early...please.
Kirishima: And I would have gotten away with it if it wasnt for you PEBBLING kids!
Bakugou: when will you run out of jokes for the love of god
Kirishima: geology is always on my mind
Bakugou rolled his eyes and put his phone back in his pocket. What an idiot. How many jokes could he possibly have?? He had to run out right?? He sighed as he started to prepare coffee for the next person.
Ten minutes had passed until he got an order from Midoriya,”Order for Kirishima!”
Bakugou smirked. Now was his time. He couldn’t wait to revel in the glory he would receive from Kirishima knowing that it was him all along.
He prepared the coffee and he the cup on his hands as he got ready to write the words on table. Thinking about it for a couple of seconds, Bakugou put the marker on the cup and wrote the words he was thinking down. When he walked out, even Midoriya was surprised, but he said nothing. Bakugou couldn’t tell if it was out of pure shock or that he knew what was going to happen.
Kirishima was on his phone, oblivious to anything else around him. Bakugou walked to him and set down his cup,”heres your order.”
“Thanks bro”, Kirishima said as he moved his hand, eyes still on his phone, picking up the cup till something clicked. That wasn’t Midoriya. He set down his phone and his eyes widened as he sawthe person in front of him. He slowly set down back his coffee as he tried to formulate a sentence,”you? The-uh, coffee-”, his hand kept pointing between Bakugou and the coffee before Bakugou decided to speak for him.
“Yes, I was the person that always made your coffee, I work here.”, he said, arms crossed.
Kirishima finally opened his mouth,”IT WAS YOU?”, and pointed at Bakugou. Bakugou’s eyes went wide and he placed his hands down,”hey, could you be any louder?” “well YEA YOURE-mfdjf”, Bakugou moved forward and placed his hands over his mouth.
He whispered as his eyes centered on Kirishima’s,”listen to me closely, take the coffee, read whats on the cup, and go to class, okay?” Kirishima nodded and Bakugou slowly backed away as he eyed him.
Kirishima picked up the coffee and quickly flipped the cup. He read the words,”I get off at one.” As he opened the door to leave, he turned his head back and saw Bakugou staring. Kirishima smiled and waved at him. He saw Bakugou freeze as he did and he turned, which was probably because he was blushing. Kirishima was way too used to it, and waved back at Kirishima as he left his sight of view.
Kirishima walked to the nearest bench and set everything down as he talked to himself,”I cant believe Bakugou was the same person all along oh my rocks”,he stayed quiet for a second and then continued to talk,”this is fate! But why didn’t he tell me-but then again this is Bakugou we’re talking about but STILL we’re d-d-d…” Kirishima went silent as his face went red. Yes, they had only been dating for a week but...it wasn’t like much changed. Or maybe that was the point. Or was it?
Kirishima shook his head. He was overthinking it too much. “I get off at one” he repeated in his head. It must mean that he wanted him to come there, of course. They were probably just going to head straight to Bakugou’s house….but he hadn’t been there since that time.
Regardless of the countless thoughts that were floating through his mind, Kirishima couldn’t help but smile at the fact that Bakugou was the person that made his favorite coffee. As if he couldn’t love him more. Kirishima picked up the coffee and took a sip. His coffee tasted great and it was weird, but he somehow felt that, now, this coffee was made specially for him. It always has been, but knowing that it was Bakugou, it tasted like the coffee was made of love.
Kirishima was basking in loving thoughts until his mind clicked and he checked his watch. Shit. It was five minutes till class. He got up and started to walk as fast as he could with a coffee in his hand. This is what he gets for having Bakugou on his mind. Its been more frequent lately, as if he didn’t think about Bakugou alot before,but now it was even worse.
All he could think about was the kiss.
Bakugou walked inside and put his hand on his heart. That was a close one. He didn’t know why it was so hard to invite Kirishima over..especially since that time. Even when Kirishima left that night, his heart wouldn’t stop beating for nearly an hour. His mind controlled his body, it all happened too fast and now they were….he couldn’t say the word. Bakugou shook his head and slapped his cheeks. He didn’t have time to be thinking about that idiot.
But he did.
It was never this bad, but he had messed up on two orders. Accidentally putting the wrong names and catching the two as they went out to tell them what he had done. Luckily, they were nice about it.
After his shift ended, he was grateful as he could ever be. When he walked out, he saw Kirishima sitting on a nearby table. He waved and smiled,”Bakugouuuuu, over here!” “I can see that idiot!”, Bakugou shouted back.
Bakugou walked over, his hands in his pocket and looked at him,”come on.” He turned around and Kirishima only smiled as he stood up and followed behind Bakugou.
The two walked in a silence for about about a block until Bakugou was crashing under pressure. It was never this quiet. Kirishima was usually talkative, saying a dumb joke, or asking Bakugou questions, so why was he so quiet now?
Bakugou glanced over and his eyes locked with Kirishima, only for him to look away from Bakugou as soon as he did and...was his face red? Bakugou looked in front of him as his heart rate started to speed up.
Keep it calm and cool Bakugou.
“Kiri-”
“AHHH,o-oh, yea”
Before Bakugou could say anything, Kirishima got spooked just by the sound of his voice next to his ear. Nice one Kirishima. He didn’t know what had gotten into him but all he could think about was going back to Bakugou’s place and what would happen. Would they kiss again? How could such a simple label on a person’s relationship change it that much when they were completely fine before.
He saw Bakugou squint his eyes at him and then turned his head as he continued to walk. Was he not going to say anything about the outburst? Kirishima was kind of glad he didn’t but what was Bakugou thinking?
Ten painstakingly minutes later, they had arrived at Bakugou’s house.
Kirishima walked in, took off his shoes, and started to look around his house like he it was his first time visiting.
“Would you like some water?”,he heard Bakugou say. He turned to him and Kirishima shook his head in agreement slowly. Bakugou kicked off his shoes and headed towards the kitchen, Kirishima following right after him.
He sat down at the table and watched as Bakugou took two cups and filled it with water. Bakugou looked up and spoke,”are you gonna quit staring at me?” Kirishima flinched and put his hands in the air,”uh,well..” he directed his eyes away from Bakugou as he tried to find the words.
Bakugou sighed and walked over with the two glasses, setting them down on the table and sitting across from Kirishima. He slid one to Kirishima and closed his eyes as he spoke.
“Im not very good at this thing”,he heard Bakugou say and Kirishima looked up. Bakugou had his head down, both of his hands grasping the cup.
Ah.
Bakugou was probably just as nervous as he was. His heart was probably beating just as fast as his would now. He thought Bakugou was much more calmer than he was….but maybe he was faking it after all.
Suddenly, a wave of relief seemed to wash over Kirishima’s body.
He smiled and he looked at Bakugou as he spoke,”Im really happy you were the one who made my coffee.” Bakugou looked up at him, his eyebrows scrunching in confusion,”what?” Kirishima laughed nervously,”I mean, its fate, isn’t it? That the person who made the coffee I liked the most hes my boyfriend now.” Seconds later Kirishima was bonked on the head by Bakugou.
Dont say that so easily!”
Kirishima held his head as he fake cried,”but its true. You know it took everything in me to just say that right? This whole week I’ve been nervous and all I keep thinking is..well...Us...and the fact we’re..dating..havent you?”
Bakugou’s face went beet red as he sat at the table and looked away from Kirishima. He crossed his arms and spoke,”w-well yea..”’
Kirishima looked as he saw Bakugou go red and sighed. Why was he so nervous in the first place when Bakugou was sitting in front of him like this? It was kind of...cute. Its rare to see Bakugou at a loss of words. Kirishima stood up and picked up his chair, moving it over in front of Bakugou’s eyesight and setting it down.
He sat down and spoke,”you know Bakugou, you can be cute sometimes.” Bakugou grit his teeth,”Dont call me cute.” Kirishima held his stomach and laughed. “You know Bakugou, out of all the people I know, you really rock my world.”
Bakugou stood up and turned around. “Get out of my house with your lame jokes.” He started to walk away but Kirishima smiled and hugged him from behind,”youre bluffing~” Bakugou locked his hands on Kirishima’s elbows and tried to get him off,”Im not! Let go you idiot! And get out!” Kirishima chuckled as he still held onto Bakugou. Bakugou was at least 10 times stronger than him, Kirishima would have been on the floor by now.
“NEVERRRR”, Kirishima shouted. “STOP SH-AH”, as Bakugou kept trying to pry him off, he stepped on something and he fell back...on the floor.
“Shit.”, Bakugou gritted through his teeth. Kirishima was on top of him and he lifted his face from Bakugou’s chest,”Bakugou are you...alright.” Kirishima’s voice wavered as he found that he was so close to Bakugou’s face, their noses almost touching.
Bakugou grit his teeth and rammed his head into Kirishima’s. “Ouch, Bakugou, I’m sorry”, Kirishima said, his face turning into a pout. He was planning to add on some fake crying till he saw the look in Bakugou’s face. He wasn’t mad, nor was he sad, he was...Kirishima couldn’t quite put a name on it yet.
“You idiot, watch where your going and stop being so dim-witted,its a miracle youre still alive today, I wont always be here you know, So dont go dying on me-jesus where am I even going with this”, Bakugou let his mouth ramble on till he realized what he was saying, his cheeks turning red and turning it away from Kirishima.
He was worried. Thats what it was. Bakugou was worried for him and Kirishima’s heart started to clench. Kirishima smiled and he started to lean down to give Bakugou a kiss on the cheek, but two hands smushed his face before he could. “uh-bakwuwo”,Kirishima tried to say.
“Im sick of you surprising all the damn time”, he said as he let up on Kirishima’s cheeks. Kirishima closed his eyes and giggled”isnt that the fun part?”. As soon as he finished saying that and opened his eyes,Bakugou moved towards him and placed his lips on Kirishima’s.
Kirishima was shocked for a second,his pupils dilating as he stared into Bakugou’s, closing his eyes to take it in. Bakugou’s hand were holding his cheeks gently and the kiss was so...blissful. He felt safe and he wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world right now.
When he pulled away, Bakugou hugged him and placed his head down, trying not to let Kirishima see the blush or how red his face was at the moment. He had already seen it though and he laughed,”Bakugou, you know, theres a lot of friction between us. I guess its my fault .”
“You little shit...really? Youre going to pull jokes now?”,Bakugou said, an irritated tone in his voice.
Kirishima was half-expecting a hit on the head but was pleasantly surprised when a hand fell on his hair and started to pet it. To tell the truth, Bakugou was going to hit him. but he stopped, releasing his fist. and his hand fell naturally on his head. For some reason, all he wanted to do in this moment and take it, holding Kirishima close to him. He may have been a bit too embarrassed to still say the four letter word, but he hoped, through his actions, Kirishima at least knew that much.
And he did.
Bakugou did something unexpected again and Kirishima’s heart started to race yet again. He smiled, gripping Bakugou’s shirt more and moving his face closer to Bakugou’s neck. Kirishima could tell from the way Bakugou was acting. He didn't need to say it but he knew.The feeling was great and he never wanted to leave.
"I love you too Bakugou."
