Bakugou should have fucking expected his stupid ass classmates to pull some bullshit around Christmas time again. Last year they had a creepy-ass plastic Santa they would hide around in various parts of the dorms and this year it’s fucking mistletoe . The Santa was the creepiest fucking thing to exist and he remembers the scream he heard from Kirishima’s room after the bootleg Pikachu hid it in the showers. Yes, the scream was heard throughout the entire dorm and shitty hair didn’t live it down until this Christmas. This year there was a gross looking plant that made people kiss and almost everyone has fallen victim to it. He’d been careful to not walk under any of it so far, but he should have expected that they would try and make him suffer in some way.
More precautions. He should have taken more precautions against them. However, he didn’t expect them to still be at this godforsaken shit on December 31 but fuck him he guesses. He and Shinsou were watching a stupid fucking video on Shinsou’s phone when raccoon eyes came up behind them with the shitty plant. They were supposed to be celebrating the new year in the common room and as usual, he was dragged into this mess even though he should be in bed by now since it was ten at night.
He was going to murder her. Ashido Mina was a dead woman and with the smug face she wore, she knew it too. She was a woman ready to die in order to embarrass him. Why? Because she had somehow found out he may have feelings...of...love towards the purple haired freak. She may have seen his search history which may or may not have been filled with shit like: why the fuck does my stomach feel fuzzy, how do you tell when you like someone, why do I wanna kiss his stupid fucking face, how do I know if someone likes me . Now he was paying for those searches dearly.
Kissing Shinsou is something that he has definitely thought about on more than one occasion. Not that they would ever kiss, until now he guesses because everyone was in the goddamn common room expecting them to kiss. It’s not a big goddamn deal right? It’s just a kiss, he can handle it, maybe. Still, a fucking mistletoe kiss was a little ridiculous.
“You guys are fucking ridiculous, it’s not Christmas anymore you absolute morons.” He stated glaring at the pink skinned girl. Ashido had the fucking audacity to argue with him.
“Aw but you can still honor the tradition, right Bakubaby?” She said and he’s never wanted to murder anyone so bad before because she knew exactly what she was doing.
A reply to her was on the tip of his tongue but someone grabbed his face and suddenly there was pressure against his lips. It happened way too fast for him to really process anything until it was over but Shinsou had kissed him. Well, if you could even call it a kiss, it was more like a peck but Shinsou’s lips still touched his own. He’ll count it.
He felt his face heat up slightly at the realization because this is not at all how he ever imagined kissing Shinsou. Being a perfectionist, it would have had to be planned out ahead of time. Something romantic as hell but not cliche. He was a little pissed that their first and most likely only kiss was one under a mistletoe. How fucking cheesy is that? What kind of stupid Hallmark movie trope was that?
“There, no yelling involved and the tradition is honored.” Shinsou said like he didn’t just kiss someone. How in the hell could he be so nonchalant about that? The act apparently appeased everyone who had been a spectator as everyone went back to their own business. Ashido was pouting slightly like she had expected something more than that but went back to terrorize other people nonetheless.
“What?” Shinsou questioned. Dammit, he must have been caught staring. Letting his eyes flicker quickly over Shinsou’s lips he hesitated a response.
“Nothing…” He murmured and he returned his attention to Shinsou’s phone and the video playing.
The feeling of purple eyes lingered on him for a minute. Fuck. Did he give himself away somehow? Was he acting too weird about the kiss? He should just forget about. Not like it meant anything to Shinsou like it did to him. Besides, it was just a prank by Ashido anyway. They managed to finish the video and then Kaminari had pulled Shinsou away to go do something idiotic most likely, he didn’t know he wasn’t really paying attention to what sparky bastard was saying.
There is only about an hour until the new year and as much as he tolerates his classmates he was too tired to deal with their shit anymore. He stood up and slipped his phone into his pocket. Everyone was too busy paying attention to the card game that had started in the middle of the floor to really notice he was leaving. That was a good thing though considering his idiots would beg him to stay and celebrate with them. He was just too drained from training and then studying all day, not too mention his mental exhaustion after that mistletoe kiss.
“Heading to bed?” Someone asked and he turned to see Todoroki standing behind him, a bowl full of mikans in his hands. He simply replies with a grunt and walks past the two-toned boy.
Surprisingly no one takes notice of him leaving. Good. Maybe he can actually sleep before the new year comes instead of staying awake to bid this last a year a shitty goodbye. He somehow managed to get to the bathroom and back without having Kirishima or Kaminari come to look for him and that made him suspicious. When he got back to his room and changed into something to sleep in it was almost midnight.
There are only about ten minutes left and he is kind of pissed he couldn’t sleep sooner. Should he just stay up until midnight? At this point, it would be stupid not to. He sat on his bed just scrolling through his phone until he heard a knock on his door. Grumbling to himself he reluctantly got up.
“It’s too late for this bullshit.” He said as he opened the door to see Shinsou. “There’s only like two minutes before the new year shouldn’t you be celebrating with the other idiots?”
“It’s almost like you want me to catch their stupidity in the new year.” Shinsou said with a grin on his face.
“Like you don’t already have it.” He replied and Shinsou laughed.
“Listen about earlier with the mistletoe…” Shinsou started but was cut off by loud cheering downstairs. That must mean that the new year finally started. He let out an annoyed sigh and heard Shinsou do the same. What was he going to say about what happened earlier? Shinsou looked pretty fucking irritated at the interruption so he had no idea where this conversation was going to go.
Then he felt a familiar touch on his face. Shinsou had cupped his face and titled it up slightly before pressing their lips together. This time it wasn’t just a quick peck. Instead, Shinsou had just pressed their lips together. It was awkward and stiff and he could tell the other really wasn’t really experienced in this kind of kissing. Shinsou pulled away and quickly removed his hands from his face.
“Happy new year.” Shinsou said as he started to make more distance between them.
He didn’t think as he pulled Shinsou down for another kiss. This time since he was leading it was a little less awkward. Thankfully Shinsou followed his lead and he’s really thankful Shinsou is a fast learner. He let his hands find their way to purple hair and Shinsou pulls him closer by his waist.
They were so focused on each other that they didn’t even realize their morons had come upstairs to play games in Kirishima’s room and were taking pictures of them until someone forgot to turn off their sound. The sound of a camera shutter is what startled them so bad that they basically jumped away from each other.
“Kami! You interrupted them you whore!” Ashido yelled and he felt his face get red. How fucking long were they standing there taking crappy pictures?
“Do the walk of shame fucker!” Sero exclaimed and he saw Shinsou cover his face with one hand.
Without thinking he grabbed Shinsou by the collar and yanked him inside his dorm. It seemed like the best option to just get them out of the idiot’s sight but now he was regretting pulling so hard. Sometimes he forgets that the other is taller than him by a few inches and they almost tumble to the floor but thankfully his bed is relatively close to the door so they just land on that. Unfortunately, this means that he is now pinned to the bed. He can hear the hollers from his friends outside and he wants to die.
“I guess you might as well fucking sleep here.” He said.
“I can live with that.” Shinsou replied.
He felt a soft kiss on his lips before Shinsou wrapped his arms around his waist. They were still somewhat in the awkward position from when they fell but at this point, he was too tired to care.
