Bakugou hated waiting, he hated how Shinsou would tease him without revealing his feelings. He often paired up with him in training and sat next to him in the group's study sessions. Often lingering touches when he can. Shinsou also loved teasing him by getting soo close to his face, being a hairs width away from his lips. This frustrates Bakugou as he could soo easily lean forward and take that step to get their lips to touch.
The first time this had happened was a few days after Valentines day, after the class had settled down after the week had passed. Shinsou entered the near empty class and walked straight over to Bakugous’ desk where the spikey blond was sitting. He sat on his desk and started talking to him, slowly leaning closer to the blond. The blond noticed but took it as a challenge and had a small sliver of hope that the purple haired insomniac would fail in his promise already and just kiss him. But his hopes shattered as the other male stopped leaning forward and the blond could feel his breath on his lips and skin. He then heard the chattering of students walking into the class, and watched as Shinsou huffed and smirked as he sat up straight and began staring out of the window.
The same could be said for training, whenever they were either paired up or facing each other Shinsou touched him far longer than normally tolerated by the blonde. When they were paired for a rescue type training exercise Shinsou grabbed Bakugous’ wrist and dragged him into an abandoned building to ‘make their plans’. Even in class, in group projects, he was often subjected to subtle touches on his wrists and the feeling of the purple haired males thumb running over his wrist and sometimes his knuckles drove him crazy. Study sessions were even harder when it was just the two of them, Bakugou just could not concentrate and often messed up on getting the answers.
The day came for Bakugou to receive Shinsous’ answer, White Day. Shinsou had told him it would have to be after they finished with school. Being in their 3rd and last year they were able to go out in the field in groups of 3. Bakugou was paired up with Todoroki and Shinsou. He had gotten into his hero outfit and was with Shinsou waiting on Todoroki to fill up his ‘four peepees’, as Shinsou had started calling them when he heard the story.
It didn’t take long for Todoroki to come out, nodding to the two. “Right loser let’s go. We are the last ones to leave!” Bakugou said, dragging Shinsou away. Todoroki tilted his head at the two confused.
They soon arrived at the shopping district, as they were only allowed patrols for the time being. The teachers and other Pro Heroes had learned that it was foolish to get them and future students on the battlefield and on dangerous missions at a young age, so now they were just stuck with patrolling the small time Pros route. Bakugou was very annoyed but Aizawa pulled him to the side and explained everything to him. How he had been wanting to make these changes for a long time and with what happened to Bakugou he managed to achieve it.
-Time Skip-
Their patrol went fairly quiet, the only things that happened were a mugging, a child manifesting his quirk and people asking for directions. “Man that sucked!” Bakugou complained as they were peeling their costumes off. “” Shinsou chuckled as he listened to Bakugous rant. He checked his phone and sent a message as he smirked. He walked up to Bakugou and grabbed his hand.
“Have you forgotten what day it is?” he questioned as he tilted his head to the side. Once Bakugou stopped his rant he looked into his eyes, smirking. That’s all Shinsou needed to know that he hadn’t. He smiled and finished getting dressed “finish getting dressed, I’m taking you somewhere.”
Shinsou didn't have to wait long for Bakugou to show up outside the changing rooms. “Alright Mind Freak, where now?” Bakugou asked, hoping to get a hint of what the purple haired male. Shinsou shook his head and tapped his nose twice. ‘Me to know you to find out’ it meant. He huffed and carried on walking slightly behind the other male, seeing as he didn’t know where to go.
They soon left the school grounds and headed to the park, at this point Bakugou had an idea of what was going on but kept quiet. Shinsou brought him to a space under a cherry blossom tree, which Bakugou found had a blanket underneath as well as a basket. Shinsou guided Bakugou to sit on the blanket and sat next to him getting the basket. He smiled “I knew it would be a picnic once I saw the park. What about the ducks?” he questioned teasingly.
To the question Shinsou chuckled “I know you’ll protect me from them. After all you’re going to be the number one hero right?” he teased back.Bakugou chuckled and motioned for him to get the stuff out the basket. Shinsou nodded and took out tupperware containers filled with food. “I know you like spicy so I made 2 lots of each food, spicy and normal.” he said as he set them out after opening them, placing the spicier foods near Bakugou so they wouldn’t get confused.
They had finished their main when Shinsou brought out dessert, it was a coffee flavoured cheesecake. Shinsou had watched Bakugou drink coffee many times to know how he likes it. As Shinsou was going to grab the knife Bakugou also went to grab it, their hands touching halfway. They both looked at each other “gonna tell me how you feel?” Bakugou smirked as he picked the knife up and moved it over to his side.
Shinsou chuckled “alright then,” he said as he took a breath.Taking the blonds hand in his he started fidgeting, “You were one of the only ones that wasn’t scared of my quirk, you didn’t treat me differently. You didn’t call me a ‘villain in the making’ like other students, you didn’t question my strength and ability. You treated me like a normal person which was a breath of fresh air. Over the last month I’ve been thinking about my feelings towards you.” He said as he looked over at the blond.
Bakugou nodded, signaling that Shinsou could continue and that he understood. Shinsou exhaled deeply before starting again, “I think I love you too. Unlike you I like to halfass things but this is important to me” he finished. Bakugou looked him in the eyes and smiled slightly. Shinsou smiled back and chuckled. He moved his hands to cup Bakugous face, before bringing him closer and kissing him gently.
Bakugou smiled into the kiss and leaned forward, pressing his lips firmer on the purple haired males. When they pulled back Bakugou hands were on Shinsous waist. “That’s the answer I was waiting for.” Bakugou said as he pulled him closer, linking his fingers behind Shinsous back. Shinsou smiled and moved his hands round the back of Bakugous neck. Shinsou guided Bakugous head against his chest as they continued to hug, leaving Bakugou in a weird position, so he decided to move so he was lying on Shinsous chest.
After they finished with their picnic date they packed up and headed back to the dorms, where they found the others in the common room deciding who should cook that day. When they heard the door go they looked over at the two, now holding hands, and smiled. Kirishima and Kaminari ran over “Bakubro! You have got to cook for us! Please man!” They pleaded.
Bakugou shook his head “no way, I’m not going to cook if I’m not eating it.” He replied.
The two noticed their hands and Kaminari practically squealed “Oh my god! I never knew Bakugou would ever be able to date anyone! I thought he’d have to take a mirror to prom!” This got the others attention and they began rushing over.
Shinsou saw how agitated Bakugou was getting and leaned into him “you go and cook them food and I’ll deal with these guys ok?” He asked. Bakugou looked over at him and nodded before releasing their hands and walking into the kitchen. “Alright guys, Bakugous gonna cook, BUT on the condition that you guys don’t ask us anything.” This got everyone looking at him. “This is the only time I’ll answer questions on our relationship, so make it count”
It took an hour for Bakugou to finish his classmates' food while Shinsou was getting bombarded with questions. Bakugou called them into the kitchen to get their food while he went out to the common room and grabbed Shinsous hand. Shinsou looked at him as Bakugou started dragging him upstairs.
