Chapter Text
“97...98…99…100!”
Kirishima collapsed flat after finishing the one hundred pushups that Kaminari had dared him to do.
“Wow. Honestly I didn’t think you would do it! You looked so beat from your actual workout. Nice job bro!” Kaminari said, smiling from his chair.
“Yeah thanks. Your turn,” Kirishima mumbled into the gym floor.
“Bro? You see these twig arms? I am not doing one hundred pushups,” Kami chuckled.
“Then why do you come to the gym with me? You don’t do anything while you’re here,” Kirishima groaned and stood up, walking over to Kaminari.
“It gets me a break from my boss. He’s so on my ass for no reason,” Kami says as he passes Kiri’s water bottle to him, “But he’s super into working out so if I tell him the reason I can’t stay late ids because I’m going to the gym, he doesn’t have a problem with it! Win win!”
Kirishima rolls his eyes. As he does, he catches sight of someone walking into the gym. It was about 6:30 at night, this is when most people were leaving. However, this man just walked in without a care in the world. He showed his gym pass to the receptionist and immediately walked over to lift weights. Kiri watched him from across the gym. The way his muscles flexed. How the sweatier he got, the darker his blonde hair got. The same scowl he wore when he walked into the gym was the same face he wore while lifting weights. He drowned the world out with the headphones he put in. He didn’t notice Kirishima drooling over him, and apparently, neither did Kirishima until Kaminari stepped in his line of view.
“Bro?? Did you listen to a word I just said?” Kami asked.
“Huh?” Kiri looks at him finally.
“Dude…” Kami says before turning around to see what Kiri was looking at. He turns back around, an excited expression on his face.
“Bro you were totally checking out the hot blonde over there weren’t you? Kiri, I thank you for hiring me as your matchmaker. I am glad to accept and overcome this obstacle with you. Now, let’s get you a date with the angry man over there. Not my type, but hey, everyone is different,” Kami draped his arm over Kiri’s shoulders and stared at the mysterious man in a black tank top with Kiri.
“...I was not checking him out,” Kiri mumbled, before tearing his eyes away and dropping back on the floor to work out more.
“Kiri, my man, my bro, my platonic husband, it took you a whole twenty five seconds to even react to what I was saying. You were so thinking about pinning him to a wall-”
“Was not!!” Kiri interrupted.
“Was too!” Kami said as he threw Kirishima’s sweaty towel at him.
“I know you suddenly have the energy and motivation to stay here and workout, but I do not. I’m done for the day so let’s go home,” Kami said as he grabs his things.
“For the last time, you didn’t even do anything all day ” Kirishima complained as he packed his stuff into his duffel bag and followed Kaminari to the reception desk. As Kaminari was signing them out, he took one last glance at the blonde boy. For a split second, Kirishima could swear they made eye contact. Whatever it was, was bombarded by Kaminari dragging Kirishima out of the gym.
The blonde watched them leave the gym once the redhead turned away.
He was kinda,, hot? What the fuck? Bakugo thought to himself before he returned to working out. Suddenly his phone pinged, a text.
Deku: kacchan kacchan kacchan kacchan kacchan we’re moving in today
Boom boy: How is that related to me?
Deku: i-
Deku: first of all, rude. second, you are coming over for a housewarming party when we are done unpacking.
Boom boy: Okay but why
Deku: because my lovely husband is off filming on some exotic island for his new movie probably surrounded by a ton of people trying to flirt with him so your presence at my new apartment is mandatory thanks <3
Boom boy: Well isn’t this half and half’s last movie before he quits? Deku, you nerd. He is literally quitting to be with you and in a month he’ll be moved in with you. He’s paying for your apartment with eyebags until he buys a house for the two of you. Stop being needy smh
Deku: stop being salty because you don’t have a boyfriend
Boom boy: Don’t turn this around on me-
Deku: besides you know i don’t want to bother him. it's best he finishes the movie and comes home. also you shouldn't be talking because when i move out you're moving in wtf-
Boom boy: You don’t need to remind me. Eyebags isn’t my first choice but not much can be done when you’re getting evicted.
Deku: maybe if you didn’t act like a little bitch to everyone, you wouldn’t be in this predicament
Boom boy: Don’t expect a gift at your shitty housewarming whatever
Deku: don’t like being called a bitch?
Boom boy: Bye
Bakugo silenced his phone and put on music. He plugged his headphones in and resumed lifting weights. From time to time, his mind wondering off to the nameless redhead with dumb hair.
Kami closed the door to the gym behind them and walked off to the car, with Kiri in tow.
“Okay lovebird time for you to drive us home,” Kami said as he threw their stuff in the backseat of Kiri’s car.
“Dude, it’s about time you get a license. I’m sick of being your chauffeur. Especially when you go on those blind dates and they end badly. Suddenly I’m picking you up at one in the morning and you’re covered in bruises. You should stop that too by the way. Just let me set you up with someone already,” Kirishima nagged as he started the car and drove away from the gym.
“Yeah, yeah. What are you, my dad?” Kami crossed his arms in the passenger seat.
“No, I’m your best friend. And there is a reason for that,” Kiri smiles.
“Best friends you say? Well I still can’t tell to this day if you are hiding murder behind that smile of yours,” Kami laughed.
“I don’t think you want to know,” Kiri joked back as they drove back to their shared apartment. As they pulled up, they saw the moving van.
“Oh hey, the new neighbors must be here today,” Kami said, looking out the window. Kiri parked the car in their designated parking spot. They technically have two, but Kami doesn’t have a car.
“I hope they’re nice, the last ones sucked. And they are right next door and I don’t want to listen to people fucking again,” Kiri sighed as he opened the door and climbed out of the car, grabbing his stuff on the way. They started to walk into the apartment complex when they heard yelling.
“ Shinsou I swear if you don’t- ” The green haired boy stopped talking when he saw Kirishima and Kaminari.
“Ha. Saved,” The purple haired boy sticks his tongue out at the shorter. He looks at Kami.
“Thanks, I owe ya one,” He says and winks before running off. The green haired boy goes to stop him, but it’s too late, he’s already in the elevator.
“Uh- Hi I’m Kirishima! Your neighbor!” Kiri says and sticks his hand out. The boy accepts it.
“I’m Midoriya. Sorry about that. He won’t let me have the room I want. Which I guess is fair since I chose last time. And I'm not staying here full time like he is” He sighs and lets go of Kiri’s hand after shaking it. Midoriya turns his hand to Kami, who was still staring at the elevator. He suddenly turns around, grabs Kiri by the collar, and starts banging his head into his chest.
“Kiriohmygodhewassohotdidyouseehim?? Dude his hair and his clothes and ohmygodhewinkedatme… and I stood there like an idiot,” Kaminari whined into Kirishima’s shoulder. Midoriya burst into laughter and so did Kirishima.
“Oh my god-” Kirishima wheezed, “Dude did you even listen to a word Midoriya said?”
“Who?” Kami let go of Kiri and raised an eyebrow. Only then did he notice the short green haired boy next to them.
“Hi I’m Kaminari!” He said and waved.
“Hi. Do you want Shinsou’s number?” Midoriya asked, getting to the point.
“Ohmygodyesplease” Kami responded.
“Great. Now I can be relieved of my job dragging him out of the house to meet people,” Midoriya said and pulled out his phone. He passed it to Kaminari.
“Here, copy his number and give me yours,” Midoriya said.
“Oh! Here, take my number too! In case you ever need anything and Kami isn’t home,” Kiri passed his phone to Midoriya, who messaged himself from his phone.
“Thanks,” Midoriya said and smiled, “Kami make sure to get him out as much as possible. Please, I’m begging. I can’t take any more of his horny single ass,” Midoriya joked. Kami let out a chuckle.
“So are you dating someone?” Kiri asked.
“I’m married to Shoto Todoroki,” Midoriya said proudly.
“The famous young CEO and actor? Yeah right,” Kiri scoffed and smiled. Midoriya pulled his phone back and started tapping on it. A moment later he passes the phone back to Kiri, a picture on the screen. It’s Todoroki and Midoriya standing at an altar with white suits on, smiling.
“Wait? For real?” Kiri’s facial expression is beyond shocked
Midoriya pulls his phone back and starts tapping again. He passes it back with the search result page for Todoroki Shoto. He points to the words:
Spouse: Midoriya Izuku
He taps his own name. A bunch of pictures of him flood the screen as well as movies he’s been in.
“Oh shit, wow,” Kiri sighs. Kami just stands there, jaw on the floor.
“It’s fine. Most people don’t believe me anyways. I used to be an actor like Sho, but after my dad died, I quit,” Midoriya says and puts his phone away.
“I'm sorry to hear that,” Kami says after collecting himself.
“It’s fine,” Midoriya says. Kirishima shifts his position. He breaks the silence again.
“Do you guys want help unpacking? We aren’t doing anything,” Kiri offers.
“No it’s okay. We are almost done! Thanks for the offer though!” Midoriya smiles and walks away, “See you later!”
“Bye!” Kami and Kiri say in unison. They turn to go to the elevator and go back up to their apartment. Once inside, Kami collapses on the couch.
“Kiri-”
“Nope. You have your gay panic on the couch. I’m taking a shower,” Kiri says and walks away.
“MEAN!” Kami shouts from the living room as Kiri enters the bathroom.
“You know you love me!” Kiri shouts back, and steps into the shower.
“What do you want for dinner?” Kami asks from his spot on the couch.
“Italian?” Kiri responds.
“Okay, dude, listen. I know you are trying to be more versed in the ways of a chef. But you nearly blew up our kitchen. So I don’t really think you should be saying italian. If you want pasta, just say pasta,” Kami sighed as he dialed the takeout place.
“And you say I’m mean-” Kiri jokes.
“Perks of going through an existential crisis 25/8- Oh hello? Hi, yes, I’d like to place an order”
“Alfredo,” Kiri whispers to Kami.
“Okay. One chicken alfredo. The one that comes with the side salad? Yes. One order of breadsticks, and one cheesy broccoli mac n’ cheese…. Yes that’s all, thank you!” Kami says and hangs up the phone.
“When will it be ready?” Kiri asks, so he knows when to go pick it up.
“Like 20 minutes. Anyways, we can use this time to talk about the hot guy from the gym-”
“Nope!” Kiri shoots up out of his seat and runs to his room.
“Rude!” Kami shouts after him.
---
This is so stupid. I hate everything. I’m quitting this dumbass job. Kirishima thinks as he walks into his bosses office.
“I quit,” He says.
“I- wait why?” His boss asks.
“Well quite frankly I hate this job with every fiber in my body. Why am I in my late 20s and still working at a convenience store? Well I asked myself that everyday for the past year. So, toodles,” Kiri said and walked out. He turns back around and pokes his head through the doorway.
“Uhm, about the paperwork I need to quit, I’ll come back later for that,” Kiri says.
“Okay. I mean I don’t blame you for quitting. I’ll just forward you the documents. It was nice working with you,” His boss sighs and returns to his paperwork at his desk. Kirishima leaves for real.
Kirishima walked down the sidewalk after thinking about what he just did.
Well shit. I’m jobless. Guess I better text Kami since we now have no source of income…
Gym rat: So I quit my job
Freeloader: dude,,, i don't have a job either what are we gonna do
Gym rat: Well maybe if you got a job like I suggest f i v e months ago, we wouldn’t be in this situation
Freeloader: that's what sugar daddies are for
Gym rat: So suddenly Shinsou doesn’t exist?
Freeloader: listen, he’s a sugar daddy for those looks. I m e a n. I would love to be thrown into a wall by him thanks<3
Gym rat: TMI… Anyways, what should I do?
Freeloader: just work at the gym? isn’t that a thing?
Gym rat: And what would I even do there?
Freeloader: personal trainer?
Gym rat: Wow I swear you are smarter than people give you credit for
Freeloader: rolflmao no
Gym rat: Anyways I could be a personal trainer??
Freeloader: why are you saying it like a question my man just do it
Gym rat: I walked into that one didn’t I
Freeloader: yeah you did
Kirishima sighs and puts his phone away. He makes his way towards the gym, where he was subconsciously walking anyways. He spots the gym receptionist outside the gym.
“Hey! I have a question!” Kiri says loudly and jogs over to her before she walks into the gym.
“Sure, what’s up?” She stops and asks.
“Can I be a personal trainer here?” Kiri asks once he catches up.
“Sure! There’s a few things you need to fill out to use our gym for your workspace, but aside from that, things like your pay are up to you,” She says and opens the door for them.The two walk into the gym together. The lady hands him all the paperwork he needs to fill out to work there. As he’s writing, he catches the blonde boy doing sit-ups in the same corner he was in last time.
“Oh! Do you know Bakugo? He just joined recently!” The receptionist says.
“Oh… I’ve seen him around like once. He seems pretty dedicated to working out!” Kiri smiles.
“Maybe he’ll be one of your customers!” She says and smiles.
“Maybe,” Kiri says and returns to paperwork.
“Well I look forward to being your co-worker of sorts!” She says and smiles at him.
“Yeah, me too!” Kiri smiles back. The blond walks over, catching their attention.
“Am I allowed to use the stuff in that room?” He says. His voice is deep, it makes Kirishima’s heart flutter.
“Sure thing!” The receptionist says. Bakugo walks away.
“Well he could have at least said thanks… but he’s hot so whatever,” The receptionist says.
“He is, isn’t he,” Kiri sighs and passes the paper to her.
“I-you, what?” She stutters.
The pink haired girl blinks before it registers.
“Oh! So is there anyone else you think is hot?” She leans on the desk.
“Mm, I think the guy with black hair back there is pretty cute, no?” She looks at Kiri.
“Nah, not really my type,” Kiri looks around the gym.
“Perfect! I want to ask him out. I’m Mina by the way,” She smiles.
“Kirishima, nice to actually meet you,” He says, smiling back at her.
“Same here!” Mina says. Kirishima looks back in Bakugo’s direction. Mina smirks.
“So you gonna ask him out? Or ask him to be your client? Or both~?” Mina pokes Kiri in the shoulder.
“Neither, he looks straight,” Kiri sighs and puts his head on the desk.
“If you ask me, he has bottom energy. Your gaydar is broken my man,” Mina pats him on the back.
“Most likely. I think you would get along splendidly with Kami. You two are way too similar. It's scary,” Kiri says as he stands back up.
“Maybe we can all hang out sometime!” Mina smiles.
“Maybe,” Kiri starts to walk out the door.
“See ya later!” Mina calls after him.
“Later!” Kiri yells behind him.
Bakugo watches him leave again.
Stupid stupid stupid. I know I can use the room oh my god. But I was able to get closer to him what the fuck he’s cute. His hair is stupid but he’s cute. Why can’t I start a conversation with him? Oh right, my impaired social skills and my constantly angry face. This fucking sucks. Shitty nerd was half right… I retract that statement. Bakugo’s head floods with thoughts, most of them about Kirishima. He walks into the room and closes the door behind him. He presses his back against it and sighs as he sits down.
What to do, what to do…
As Kirishima walked, he remembered he forgot to give Mina his number. Just as if his mind was being read, he received a text.
???: Hey! It’s Mina! I got your number from the paperwork, hope you don't mind :)
Gym rat: It’s cool. Want me to add you to a gc with Kami too?
Kiri saved Mina's contact as Mina.
Mina: Sure!
-
(New Groupchat created by ‘Gym rat’)
(‘Gym rat’ added ‘Freeloader’ and ‘Mina)
(‘Mina’ changed their contact to ‘Pinky’)
Freeloader: who’s pinky??
Gym rat: The receptionist at the gym. We became friends
Freeloader: ah the one with pink hair,, it makes sense now
Pinky: Sup!
Freeloader: hey
Gym rat: Anyways,,, we should all hang out
Freeloader: i’m down
Pinky: When and where?
Gym rat: The restaurant across the street from the gym at 7?
Freeloader: sure i’m not busy
Gym rat: You never are-
Pinky: Lol
Pinky: I’m free at too
Gym rat: Cool, see you guys there
Kirishima put his phone away and sat down at the park bench after his jog. He put in his headphones and let the music overtake his thoughts. Soon enough, he fell asleep.
Hey.. Isn’t that? Is he asleep? He walked over to the red-haired boy sleeping on the bench peacefully. He leaned over, viewing the sleeping boy, and poked his cheek.
“Yo. Wake up,” Bakugo said as he continued to poke the sleeping redhead. Kirishima started to stir. He opened his eyes.
“It’s not good to sleep in an open space,” He said. Kirishima sat up and looked at him groggily.
“What’s the worst that could happen?” Kirishima said. His eyes widened.
“Wait? Bakugo? What are you doing here?” Kiri asked.
“You know who I am?” Bakugo gave him a questioning glance.
“I- well I was talking with the receptionist, Mina, and we were talking about how hot you were and she told me your name and… I’m shutting up now,” Kirishima rambled, his eyes wide and his face as red as his hair. Bakugo let out a chuckle, muffled by his hand before it turned into laughter. Kirishima smiled at the sight.
“I’m going to pretend that happened,” Kiri said as he buried his face into his hands and turned away, back to face the pond in the park. Bakugo finished laughing and sighed. He sat down next to him on the bench.
“So why are you here?” Kirishima asked. Bakugo raised an eyebrow.
“Hey don’t get salty with me. I was on a jog and I found your dumbass sleeping on a bench. I recognized you from the gym so I figured I’d wake you up before you get robbed or arrested,” Bakugo smirked.
“Why would I get arrested?” Kiri looked at him, bewildered.
“You look homeless. Homeless people aren’t allowed to loiter in the park. There’s a sign over there,” Bakugo pointed behind him, his gaze never leaving Kirishima.
“Okay first off, rude. My sense of style is amazing-” Kirishima was interrupted.
“You look like someone who would wear crocs,” Bakugo deadpanned.
“Just because you’re right doesn’t mean-”
“Do you like hawaiian shirt patterns?” Bakugo smirked.
“... Listen here-”
“I’m listening,” Bakugo’s smirk widened. Kirishima blinked at him before bursting into a fit of laughter.
Heat rose to Bakugo’s face.
What the fuck since when has talking to someone been this smooth? And why doesn’t he think I’m an asshole yet? I know I’ve gotten better since high school but still- Bakugo thought as Kirishima calmed down
“You are… something else,” Kirishima smiled at him. Bakugo raised an eyebrow.
“The fuck is that supposed to mean?” He asked.
“Oh nothing bad! I’ve just never met anyone like you. My roommate is… energetic? We get along great but he’s also a freeloader and as much as I love him I’m gonna kick him out if he doesn’t get a job. Mina seems chill. The new neighbors also seem like chaos. My circle of friends is very small despite my personality. Even so, I’ve never met anyone like you. I like it,” Kirishima sighed and looked out at the pond, “Talking with you is easy,”
“... It is, isn’t it,” Bakugo turned to watch the ducks swim around the pond with Kirishima. The atmosphere was relaxed.
“Want to finish our jog together?” Kirishima asked.
“When I don’t even know your name?” Bakugo grinned. The color drained from Kirishima’s face.
“Oh my god-” He said as Bakugo laughed again. Kirishima blushed.
“Kirishima Eijirou,” He said shyly.
“Bakugo Katsuki,” The blond responded, “But I guess you already knew that stalker,” He teased.
“I am not-” Before Kirishima could finish, Bakugo was already up and running.
“Hey!” Kiri yelled as he raced to catch up with him.
Kirishima arrived home and flopped on his bed.
I should probably shower… He thought as he heard a knock on his door. Kirishima groaned and got up. He walked over to the door and opened it, exhausted from today’s run with Bakugo.
“Yes?” Kiri asked as the door opened.
“Hey!”
“Oh, hi Midoriya!” Kiri smiled.
“Shin and I are throwing a small housewarming party tomorrow at eight and we were hoping you and Kaminari would come,” Midoriya says and smiles.
“Of course!” Kiri responds.
“Are you okay? You look exhausted,” Midoriya says.
“Yeah, I’m all good. Just got back from a lengthy run with Bakugo,”
Interesting…
“Bakugo? Who’s that?” Midoriya asked.
“He’s someone I met at my gym. I ran into him at the park,” Kiri explains.
“What do you think of him?” Midoriya questioned.
“He’s so hot oh my god-” Kirishima coughed, “Uh, he’s easy to talk to and nice?”
Midoriya choked on air.
“Nice?? Are we talking about the same Bakugo?” Midoriya asked as he caught his breath.
Shit-
“You know him?” Kirishima raised an eyebrow.
“Uh- Kacchan is my best friend? My mom and his mom are best friends so we naturally became friends. He won’t admit it, but he loves me. But seriously, this is Katsuki Bakugo we are talking about… and you describe him as nice?” Midoriya looks at Kiri like he has two heads.
“Well he swears a lot but yeah,” Kiri scratched the back of his neck and looked away.
“Wow, I can’t believe someone other than me tolerates him. Anyways, be over tomorrow at eight I have to go water my fish see you later!” Midoriya says and rushes next door.
“Okay?” Kiri says and goes to take a shower.
Time to play matchmaker… Midoriya thinks and whips out his phone.
Broccoli: did you know your roommate has a crush on my best friend??
Calamari: blonde angry boy?
Broccoli: MANS TRIED TO DESCRIBE HIM AS NICE
Calamari: HE LOOKED LIKE HE WAS TRAINING TO COMMIT MURDER BUT FREAKING KIRI WAS LOOKING AT HIM THROUGH HEART SHAPED LENSES
Broccoli: wanna play matchmaker?
Calamari: hell yes
Broccoli: well as you know i invited you and kirishima over for a housewarming thing. kacchan will be there too
Calamari: ill bring drinks
Broccoli: truth or dare, seven minutes and heaven, or never have i ever
Calamari: a l l
Broccoli: marry shinsou so we can be inlaws thanks i love you <3
Calamari: love you too brother in law<3
Midoriya puts his phone away and sprints into Shinsou’s room to explain.
“Kaminari and I have a plan-”
Kirishima walked to the gym. He spent the entire previous night researching how to flirt. He was totally prepared to see Bakugo’s beautiful face this early in the morning. He walked into the gym, and to his dismay, the blonde was not there. So he walked over to the benchpress and began working out. He got a few lifts in before he heard footsteps behind his head.
“You know you aren’t supposed to do this without someone to spot you right? Dumbass,”
Kirishima smiled at the increasingly familiar voice.
“Well good morning to you too Bakugo” Kiri responded.
“You’re lucky I’m here this early because I have somewhere to be tonight,” Bakugo sighed and put down his bag next to Kirishima’s.
“Funny, I’m here early because I have somewhere to be too,” Kiri says as he continues to lift.
“You come here often?” Bakugo asks.
“You know I do,” Kiri responds.
“How?” Bakugo looks at him as he stands above the redhead.
“You’ve been here every time I have this week,” Kiri smirks.
“Shittyhair, for all I know you could have been coming to see me,” Bakugo smirks back.
“Maybe I was?” Kiri flirts as he sets the weight back on the stand and sits up. He turns to face Bakugo just in time to see the small blush leave his face.
“Will you spot me?” Bakugo says as he coughs into his hand to hide his face. Kiri smiles at him.
“Sure!” Kiri stands up and Bakugo takes his place on the bench.
“Want me to change the weight?” Kiro asks, prepared to take off the weights at the end.
“No, it’s fine,” Bakugo said and lifted the bar. His arms were shaking as he lowered it to his chest.
“...”
“You… can’t lift it can you?” Kiri asked.
“Are you on drugs or something? What the fuck. How can you even lift this? I mean it explains why you're ao unnecessarily shredded and hot but like what the fuck,” Bakugo says as Kiri helps him lift the weight back onto the bar to rest.
“Oh? So you think I’m hot too?” Kiri teases.
“Never said that,” Bakugo says and walks off to grab his water bottle. Kiri notices his red ears as he watches him walk. Sure, Bakugo had muscle and looked extremely good with it, but he didn’t work as long and as hard as Kirishima yet. Bakugo walked back over.
“Want to be my partner for the rest of the day?” Kiri asked when Bakugo was close enough.
“Fine,” Bakugo agreed.
Bakugo walked back into his little apartment that he was moving out of in a little over a month. He threw his bag on the ground and went to take a shower.
Okay but it’s been like 2 two weeks since I’ve first seen him and he’s literally too good? He is so freaking perfect and here I am flirting with him I think? And he flirts back? But is he actually into me? Or into guys in general? Like he said I was hot but how in the hell. I can appreciate it when a girl is pretty but that doesn’t mean I’m straight. What if I’ve been reading this wrong the entire time? What if he is only jokingly flirting with me? What the fuck this is what a lack of friends gets me. Why doesn’t shitty nerd ever talk about him and half and half? Fucking hell I guess I’ll just have to ask him at the party.
Bakugo got out of the shower, continuing his train of thoughts about Kirishima. He got dressed and slicked his hair back. There was a little voice inside of his head telling him to look good. So he threw on some clothes he knew went well together and walked out the door. He made his way over to Midoriya’s building and got inside the elevator. He walked down the hall when he saw someone ahead of him. It was the yellow-haired guy that was with Kirishima. He was standing in the hall, yelling through a doorway.
“ If you don’t hurry up I’m leaving your ass here and I’m just gonna go make out with Toshi, ” He yelled into the room. Bakugo heard a familiar voice yell back.
“ They literally live next door what the fuck do you mean. Also, I’m making an effort to look nice whereas you are just wearing sweatpants!! ” Kirishima yelled back. He emerged from the doorway and stepped into the hall. He flattened his hair a little more and pulled it back into a low ponytail. It was the first time Bakugo had ever seen him with his hair down, and he looked really good. Bakugo slowly walked closer. Kirishima noticed the footsteps and turned to see Bakugo standing there.
“Bakugo?” Kiri asked. Kaminari raised his eyebrows in shock, then a sneaky look appeared on his face and he giggled.
“I’ll leave you two lovebirds alone~” Kami teased and slipped into Midoriya and Shinsou’s apartment. Kirishima closed the door to his own.
“What are you doing here?” Kiri asked.
“I should be asking you that,” Bakugo said as he walked closer. Even with his slightly elevated shoes, he still wasn’t taller than Kirishima. It’s not that he was short, Kirishima was just a giant.
“Uh well, my neighbor Midoriya is having a housewarming thing? And I was invited with Kaminari,” Kiri explained as he looked Bakugo up and down.
“Shitty nerd invited me too. Anyways, you like what you see?” Bakugo teased.
“Very much so,” Kiri smiled at him. A blush rose to Bakugo’s face before he brushed past Kiri and stood in front of Midoriya’s door.
“You don’t look so bad yourself. I like your hair down like that,” Bakugo said before opening the door and walking inside. Leaving it open for Kiri to follow.
