Kirishima hid his face behind his book as he didn’t want Bakugou to see him smirking at the way his eyebrow twitched at Izuku’s loud, concentrated muttering. Everyone in class 1A and B had gotten used to his babbling over time and could successfully sound out Midoriya when he was thinking out loud, except Bakugou. And it amused Kirishima to no end.
“Shut the fuck up!”
“Listen hear you little freak…”
“Deku, would you fucking quit it!”
“Izuku, I swear if you don’t stop with that creepy mumbling…”
As Bakugou and Midorya’s relationship got better, Katsuki’s chiding had become softer and softer. His trademark scowl never went away and he could still come up with some creative nicknames for Midoriya, but Bakgou had stopped calling him Deku and swearing blindly at him.
“Midoriya’s concentrating hard, ne?” Kirishima whispered to Bakugou. The fiery boy was too busy chewing on his pencil to respond, desperately trying to distract himself from the noise as he was making an honest effort to be kinder to Izuku and didn’t want to risk getting banned from the school library before finals. Bakugou already had a second strike for screaming and flinging Mineta across the library, he didn’t want to get on the librarian’s bad side as she already had it in for him. “Gotta admit, all that mumbling is kind of cute~”
“If he doesn’t stop I’m gonna scream.” Bakugou grunted.
“Hey, I thought you guys were pals now? Perhaps even more?” Kirishima wiggled his eyebrows, before Bakugou smushed his book against his face.
“That doesn’t mean I enjoy that muttering, if only there was a way to stop him without the library wench fucking-” Bakugou paused – evil thoughts churning in his head with a toothy smirk and a twinkle in his eye.
Bakugou slowly turned around to where Izuku was sitting, right behind him where he was quietly churning out ideas on how he should solve the equation he was stuck on. Angel Face and Megane were with him, whispering to one another as they discussed Much Ado About Nothing for their English Literature exam like neither of them was crushing on the other. Icy Hot was sat far enough away from Izuku to keep Bakugou happy and was comparing notes with that Momo chick – who for some reason who hadn’t created a super weapon to keep Mineta away from her and that always bugged and confused Katuski.
Nonetheless, Katsuki only had time to focus on one thing now.
“Oh Izuku…” Katsuki whispered quietly in his ear. “Come here.”
The poor sweet innocent boy turned around, completely trusting his childhood friend against his better judgement.
“Kacchan, you’re better at math than I am, can you please-”
Izuku never saw it coming. When Katsuki gently cupped the back of his head and pulled him close in public, he thought he was a goner and had done something to piss off Bakugou, but about a second later he would learn that Katsuki wasn’t pulling him into another fight, but rather the opposite.
Everyone in the library fell silent when they heard the loud smacking of Katsuki’s lips against Izuku’s, Izuku’s surprised ‘mmph!’ before he groaned and started returning the kiss with enthusiasm. Kirishima dropped his book at the sight of his friends making out in public with earnest, Mineta started running out of the library screaming at the sight of two boys flushed against one another and Iida decided that this was the time to escape from reality and faint on the floor because there was no way that one of his best friends was seriously making out with his shitty childhood friend who was honestly beneath him.
Everyone else was frozen in shock.
“OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.” Ochako screamed so loud that villains hiding in the darkest, deepest caves could probably hear her. “BAKUGOU IS THE BOY IZUKU HAS BEEN SNEAKING OFF TO SEE EVERY NIGHT? BAKUGOU?”
“Oh my gosh!” Momo squealed behind her hands, matching Ochako’s horror and embarrassment. “What kind of parallel universe have I fallen into?”
“We should check if Izuku has brain damage.” Todoroki said, genuinely concerned for his friend’s wellbeing but unable to look away from the kissing, which hadn’t stopped.
“Screw you all, Bakugou-kun has been in a better mood for weeks and now we know why!” Denki, being the good friend he was, got up on the table and hollered: “YEAH BAKUGOU, GET IT!”
Cutting the festivities short though, was the sound of a pair of black, Gucci high heel shoes clacking their way down the library hall. The students scrambled back to their seats, Denki nearly falling on his behind as he jumped off the table and Todoroki being the bro he was tried to seat an unconscious Iida back into his seat before things went down.
“Ochako Uraraka!” The Librarian Hero known as Ms Library appeared, her black spectacles sitting neatly on her nose and her pointer pointing at Ochako with disapproval: “This is a library! And libraries are for studying! Not screaming!”
“But, Ms-”
“No buts Uraraka-san! Heroes don’t make excuses, they make things happen!” Ms Library said.
“But Bakugou is making out with Izuku here in the middle of this library! Look! It’s-” Ochako’s eyes nearly burst out of her head when she saw a stuttering, blushing Izuku with no Bakugou sucking his face. Kirishima’s mouth dropped at the way Katsuki was cooly sitting there, reading his book with a happy smirk on his face that was the only proof Ochako had to back up her claims. “No! Ms Library they were making out just now! Bakugou is the bad guy here!”
“While I find Bakugou’s foul language and loud mouth unpleasant and obnoxious, I think that’s a highly unlikely story Uraraka-san! Maybe you should be studying for your science test instead of reading literature, I think you need a break from these racy novels!”
“It’s a play and Much Ado About Nothing is not racy!”
“Hohohoho, child.” Ms Library smirked. “Wait until you get to the good part! But for now, go back to your dorms and study there until your library suspension has been lifted. You know the rules and the rules are iron clad in MY library! For knowledge is power!”
The pointer turned into a whip and Ms Library broke a vase to emphasise her point.
“I will clean that up later.”
Kirishima gave Ochako a sympathetic smile as she grabbed her books and left the library, swearing revenge against Bakugou under her breath. Bakugou just sat there snickering ‘one down, two to go’ as he gave a snide smirk to his other supposed love rival – a grossed out Todoroki.
“You know that wasn’t very nice Bakugou – Ochako needs to study for her finals too.” Kirishima whispered to Bakugou, as class 1A and B started quietly conversing amongst themselves as soon as Ms Library was out of sight.
“Oh calm down, I’ll help her with her Math test.” Bakugou said. “In exchange for alone time with the nerd of course.”
“And how does Izuku feel about all this?” Kirishima quirked an eyebrow.
“I promised the nerd that if he stopped muttering while we’re studying, that there would be more where that came from.” Bakugou grinned “I don’t know about you, but I don’t hear anymore muttering.”
“You are the worst.”
