Work Text:
Midoriya gulped, standing outside of Kirishima's dorm room. He was nervous, trying to build up courage to open the door. He knew he shouldn't be nervous. He knew Kirishima liked him back, even if it was just as friends, otherwise why would he agree to go to the movies with him... alone... on a date. Well he didn't exactly say it was a date to Kirishima but in his mind it was a date.
He was dying on the inside.
Just knock on the door. Just do it!
He took a deep breath and rapped against the door.
Oh my god why did I do that, this is gonna go wrong why why why why.
"Hey Midoriya! I'm just getting my wallet and giving my phone a boost in charge. Wonder if Kaminari is in the lounge to get him to super boost it?" Kirishima started wondering before shaking his head. "Sorry, come in. I won't be too long."
Midoriya shakily stepped into the room, Kirishima shutting it behind him before going to his desk and grabbing his stuff.
"Man I'm so excited for this. I was looking at the movie listings earlier and there are so many good choices, I don't even know what we should pick! What do you think?"
"I-um-uh I'm not sure? I-it does all look g-good so I-I have no idea."
"Midoriya? Are you alright?"
"I-I guess I'm just really nervous. I really want this to g-go well."
"I doubt me saying you shouldn't be nervous will take away your nerves but you don't have to be. It would take a lot for this to go wrong, and a lot more for me to even consider disliking you because I like you a lot."
"K-Kirishima..."
"Anyways," Kirishima started, cheeks flushing slightly, "shall we get headed? I really wanna get some snacks before we get in."
"Y-yeah let's go."
Kirishima scooped up his jacket, wallet inside and walked to the door, Midoriya following closely behind him. The pair walked through the dorm building towards the exit, walking past a few of their classmates.
"You guys going out?" Sero asked from his spot on the couch, glancing away from the tv.
"Yeah, we're going to the movies." Kirishima answered.
"Guys why didn't you invite anyone else? Rude!" Hagakure asked, fake offence in her voice.
"I-uh... I didn't think about that I-I-I..."
Kaminari nudged Hagakure with his elbow. "It isn't like that." He murmured to the invisible girl who made a sound of realisation. "Get it you two!" Kaminari shouted in support.
Kirishima chuckled, Midoriya screamed internally.
"Enjoy your date you two!" Ashido cheered out to them, thumbs up towards the pair.
Midoriya was sure he was at least making some sort of sound because he didn't think his internal screaming could become any louder.
"We will!" Kirishima called back, causing Midoriya to jolt. Kirishima acknowledged it was a date?! Surely he didn't realise what Ashido had said, he probably misheard her or something.
*Bzzt*
Uraraka: Kaminari just texted me
Uraraka: well done deku! Go get your man ;) ;)
Uraraka: tell me the deets after ur date
Midoriya wanted to Midoridie.
Eventually, after a few more teases from the others, they got out of the dorm building and walked along the pavements towards the nearest movie theatre.
Once they got to the theatre, they looked at the listings.
"What do you think? Comedy? Action? Horror?"
"I-I'm not a big fan of horror. I'm sure if we watched a movie like that I would be screaming, I'd probably accidentally break your hand from gripping it." Midoriya said, chuckling at the end. "It's kinda pathetic really."
"There's no shame in being scared of a horror movie. And I'd be there to protect you. I would totally not be objected if you wanted to hold my hand or hide using me."
"T-that's reassuring but I'd still rather skip it."
"Understandable." Kirishima nodded, looking at the other movie options. "There is a hero movie?"
"Which hero is it about?"
"I think it's about Endeavour? Maybe Todoroki will have a character in it!"
"Ew, we're skipping that movie. I refuse to watch a movie that has Endeavour as the main focus."
"Wow, that's some pent up hatred there. I don't really get it but I'll be willing to listen to your reasons?"
"It's... not my place to talk." Midoriya answered truthfully. "How about the comedy one? I've seen reviews about it and they're all saying it's really funny."
"Sure! I'm always a slut for comedy movies, almost as much as I am for musicals."
"K-Kirishima!"
"Whoops, sorry!"
"I-its ok. And I agree, musicals are great. Shame there isn't one playing at the moment."
"Next time." Kirishima said before stepping forward. "Two tickets please?"
"Of course, that's ¥1739."
Kirishima handed the money over while Midoriya was screaming in his mind (Next time?!?!) before getting in line for the snacks.
"K-Kirishima you didn't have to pay for the tickets. I invited you out so I should have paid."
"I don't mind. If you're desperate to pay, you can buy the snacks?"
"F-fine. What do you want?"
"Sweet popcorn and lemonade."
Midoriya nodded, stepping forwards.
"Can I get uhhhh two sweet popcorns? And a lemonade and a cola?"
"Sizes?"
"I'm good with regular."
"Regular, for all of it."
"Ok, that's ¥2533."
Midoriya handed over the money.
"You almost memed there. I'm sure the meme-team felt it." Kirishima said, poking him.
"Oh I know, it was hard not to say the meme cause I just had Uraraka screeching in my mind going 'boneless pizza get the boneless pizza'." Midoriya answered, grabbing the food once it was ready.
"That was a good Uraraka impression, I'd say almost as good as your All Might impression," Kirishima said, nodding in approval as he took the receipt, "Yeesh, talk about overpriced." He remarked, looking at the receipt in his hand.
"I know but they don't let you take your own snacks so what can you do." Midoriya shrugged, handing Kirishima his drink and food. "Let's get our seats, ok?"
"Sure."
They exited the theatre two hours later.
"So... that movie..."
"It was... how could words describe it?"
"God the humour was terrible." Kirishima complained, groaning. "And I know for a fact I used to love jokes like that."
"The meme team has ruined our sense of humour."
"Honestly, I agree. Because of them I once saw a picture of an egg with the word 'suspicious' or something on it and I died of laughter. Comedy movie that everyone else was laughing at? Nothing, not even a grin."
Midoriya started to giggle. "God I remember that image. It's usually stuff like that that makes me start to giggle randomly."
"That makes your random laughs in class make so much sense!"
The pair laughed together as they walked away from the theatre, hands brushing past one another as they headed back towards the dorms.
They entered the lounge, Ashido and Sero battling against each other in a heated race of Mario Kart on rainbow road.
"Having fun there?" Kirishima asked, popping his head between the two, shocking them. They jumped, causing their characters to drive off the side of the track.
""NOOO!""
Kirishima cackled, somewhat evilly, before heading back to Midoriya. They went back up to Kirishima's room.
"I-I'm sorry the movie sucked, I really wanted it to go well and it probably went terribly."
"You know, we could watch a movie in my dorm room. Something we both know is good."
"Y-you want to do that?"
"Yeah, I want to spend more time with you Midoriya."
Midoriya blushed before smiling, entering Kirishima's room.
"Sit on the bed, I'll pull some musicals out."
"You have some?"
"Of course!" He said, pulling some DVDs from a shelf beside the bed. "I have Grease, Moulin Rouge, Rocky Horror, Les Mis and, of course, the holy grail of all musicals, the High School Musical trilogy. I have others as well if you want."
"N-no, they sound great! Awesome!"
"Cool, let's start with Rocky Horror Show. You gotta love that one, despite the insanity."
"I agree. It's a lot of fun to watch, and to dance to."
"Then it's settled!" Kirishima popped open the DVD box and slid the disc into the tv and jumped onto the bed. He grabbed the remote and pressed play, movie starting.
"It's just a jump to the left. A little step to the riiiiight~" the actors sang out as they danced the time warp.
"Kirishima we have to do it too, otherwise it's not right." Midoriya said matter-of-factly, standing up and starting to dance along to the song.
Kirishima laughed as Midoriya started to boogie to the song.
"But it's the pelvic thrust. They really drive you insaaaaane~"
Kirishima was ashamed of the blush on his face as Midoriya danced the moves. He finally gave in and joined Midoriya in dancing, giggling along. Once the song ended, they collapsed onto the bed, panting as they tried to get their breath back.
"It's always so tiring but man it's fun." Midoriya said, pushing himself up to a sitting position.
"It was extra fun doing it with you."
At some point, Midoriya had started leaning against Kirishima. He didn't mean to do it, but once it started, he couldn't bring himself to move again and Kirishima didn't seem to complain, so he stayed there.
"The movie's done Midoriya... what do you wanna watch next?"
"How about Grease?" He suggested.
"Can do." He said, but didn't move. "Midoriya... can you move a little? I don't mind cuddling but I need to put the DVD in."
"Oh! I'm sorry!" Midoriya said, sitting up straight and letting Kirishima move to put Grease into the tv.
The movie started and Kirishima returned to his spot, but Midoriya stayed still. Kirishima smiled softly before wrapping his arm around Midoriya's shoulder, pulling him into him.
"I really didn't mind the cuddling ya know? It's nice." Kirishima said, cheeks pink.
"O-ok."
It was halfway through the movie and Midoriya was trying to work up the courage to ask Kirishima out, properly.
"You ok? You're kinda stiff."
"I-I'm fine..."
"You sure?"
"C-can I ask you something?"
"Sure dude go ahead."
"W-will you be the Danny to my Sandy?" Midoriya asked quietly, barely above a whisper.
"Huh?"
"O-or the Janet to my Brad... how about the Christian to my Satine? God why am I suddenly blanking right now? I can't think of any others."
"... Are you asking me to be your boyfriend through musical couples? Because if you are I totally dig that."
"Y-yeah I a-am... so uh..."
"Yes, I'll be your musical love interest." Kirishima nodded with a smile. Relief filled Midoriya's being at the revelation.
"T-then... can I kiss you?"
"If I'm being honest, I've been waiting for you to ask that all night."
Midoriya grinned before slowly leaning forwards, Kirishima closing the distance. It was a small, quick kiss but it felt like an eternity to them.
They pulled away, eyes half lidded.
"That was nice."
"We should definitely do it again sometime."
"Definitely."
The movie ended and a wave of tiredness swept over him.
"I'm going to head back to my dorm now, I had a great time with you Kirishima."
"Same. I'm looking forward for our next date, which I'm sure it will be just as great as this one."
"Goodnight." Midoriya said.
"Goodnight Midoriya." Kirishima nodded, leaning forward slightly and pressing a kiss to Midoriya's forehead. "Sweet dreams Sandy."
"Sweet dreams Danny."
Once Midoriya got back to his room, he proceeded to screech into his pillow because holy hell that actually happened he has a boyfriend and they kissed holy shit.
