Kirishima can't stop smiling. What's more, firmly believes that his smile, at this very moment, can rival that of the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland.
His number of followers on TikTok is only growing and that has his heart happy and content.
It all started with videos, dumb videos that he couldn't help but record with Mina, Sero and Kaminari when discovered the app.
He and Kaminari are the perfect duo. There is no video that with the blond is not a hit.
His favorite, without a doubt, is the one where everyone in the Bakusquad was sleeping after a marathon of movies and game nights.
Kirishima was the first to wake up and when saw the drool sliding down Kaminari's open mouth, he knew he had to record that TikTok saw recently.
After pushing sleep away completely, took his cell phone and opened the app. He swiped through the filters until found the one was looking for and when he did, a big, mischievous smile crossed his face.
He got up, after settling Bakugou on the futon because the blond had fallen asleep on his chest, and pressed record. Immediately the audio began to play over his cell phone.
"Get up, you're a warrior! You can against sleep! Get up!" he shook Kaminari's body to wake him up while laughing at the top of his lungs at the blond's startle.
"I swear, it wasn't me Aizawa sensei, it was Sero" replied the other half asleep and for getting up in exaltation, his feet got tangled with the blankets and fell face first to the floor.
"Brother" Kirishima went over to help him, after making sure the video will be saved, guilty of having made his friend hurt himself.
"Kiri" Kaminari complained as he let himself be arrested back to the bed.
"It's all right bro, go back to sleep." Kaminari didn't need to be told twice as her eyes closed again.
But, just as he gets comments, overwhelmingly positive because a lot of people like what does; bad comments make their way in as well.
There was one really bad one that almost made him delete his account, but everyone in the squadron, even Bakugou (who up to that point didn't have an account because "I'm not going to waste my time watching shit") helped him denounce it and make him close his account for good.
Bakugou even started using the app to give him a like or to insult whoever dares to bother him.
When thinks of Bakugou a warm and cute feeling comes over his heart. He knows he is in love with his best brother and even though believes 70% that his feelings are reciprocated, he doesn't want to risk anything yet.
He didn't want to scare his best friend.
A new challenge on TikTok catches his attention and immediately he knows, he must record it with Bakugou.
So that's what he does, after making sure his hair is well combed, marches towards the blond's room. He doesn't even knock on the door before entering because it is already a habit to interrupt in this way.
Bakugou diverts his gaze from the book he is reading to pay attention to him.
"Hey bro!" he approaches the blond's bed as the blond makes room for him to lie down.
Even though came with all the conviction in the world, he doesn't know how to say it because there's a 99.9% chance that the blond will refuse, but who doesn't bet doesn't win right?
"Bakubro" he says testing the waters.
"What the fuck do you want hair for brains?"
Fine. Take a breath. It's now or never
"Shoot a TikTok video with me."
The blond immediately lowers his book "Don't get me involved in that shit."
"Ohh come on, please!" he begs as he clasps his hands together and shoots that look that knows, has an effect on the boy.
"Not the puppy dog eyes" Bakugou says as he sees him "That's cheating".
"Please" he repeats again as he flutters his eyelashes.
Why the hell should he be so soft when redhead asks like that?
"You know why" both his heart and brain whisper.
"Fuck" he curses as he waves his hands in the air "Alright, damn it."
Kirishima smiles broadly and without missing his chance, quickly gets up and pulls the other with him.
"Just kiss me when you hear the word lucky" he indicates as he holds his cell phone tightly and swipes through the multiple filters until finds the right one.
"That's fucking it" Bakugou asks him distrustfully because he's seen the dances or challenges they do on that platform.
Kirishima avoids laughing at the sight of his friend's annoyed face and nods in response.
"Okay, let's do it" Kirishima with a big smile points his cell phone at them.
The song starts to play and anticipation settles in Bakugou's chest. He's going to kiss Kirishima, that's all he can think about. His lips will be on that skin that many nights he dreams of caressing, adoring.
He has to force himself to pay attention when the redhead presses record.
If I ever looked at you it was because you were LUCKY.
Bakugou hears the word and quickly brings his lips to Kirishima's cheek.
His heart is beating like crazy and he's afraid his hands will start throwing sparks because of how sweaty they are.
He's about to do it when the redhead pushes him away and with steps forward continues singing the stupid song, which now that he hears it makes his face turn red and his hands start to sparkle.
He imagined me an easy girl. I wondered: "and this guy, what does he do? He looked me in the eyes, he wanted to kiss me. I cut him off at once, I sent him for a walk. He apologized to me, very desperate and I shouted at him: "Get lost, asshole. He said: "Give me another chance, he just had to start crying.
Kirishima's laughter does nothing to appease him and when the redhead finally looks back at him, his mouth is faster than his brain.
"Run hair for brains!"
Everyone in the common room flinches as they hear Bakugou's explosions and curses. But they immediately calm down when they hear a second voice, it's much more cheerful and giggly.
"I'm sorry Bakubro. Don't kill me" the redhead laughs at the top of his lungs, already with his skin hardened as he escapes from the blond.
"Die!"
Everyone goes back to their activities after listening to Kirishima.
IIIIIIII
Two days pass before Bakugou speaks to him again.
The knock on his door is loud enough to wake him up and after glancing at his watch and cursing whoever is disturbing him so early, he gets out of bed.
"Hey, hey!" says Kirishima disoriented upon seeing the blond at his door. "Bakubro" greets trying to disguise his yawn.
Bakugou's scowl doesn't even faze him as he begins to nod off standing up, leaning his weight on the door.
"5 minutes shitty hair" threatens the blond "I'll wait for you downstairs".
The 5 minutes turns into 10 and, is in 15 when can finally process the blond's words.
"Shit" he hurries to change quickly. He grabs a hair tie and with a half tied shoe runs towards the elevator.
He jumps in place when the doors open into the living room and his heart stops when Bakugou's gaze meets his.
"You're still here" swallows nervously.
"As if I could leave you" the blond inwardly thinks, but instead he just clicks his tongue and folds his arms as he walks towards the door.
Their morning run is perfect, no inconvenience. Just the two of them, shoulder to shoulder as Kirishima tells him about the 1000 views on his video.
Now, they are both heading back to the dorms to get ready for school.
Bakugou is about to enter his room when…
"Bakubro" Kirishima calls out to him.
"What it’s shitty hair?" he turns around and doesn't expect Kirishima to be so close to him.
His breath hitches in his chest and his eyes widen when he sees the tilt of the redhead's face.
"What the sh..."
He can't continue when a pair of lips land on his flushed cheek. If his heart was beating at an alarming rate before, now he should definitely go to Recovery Girl to make sure he's not having a fucking heart attack.
This idiot wants to kill him or what
"Thank you" Kirishima whispers, also blushing, but not backing out of his personal space, even though his breaths are mingling together "You know, for shooting that video with me..."
His thoughts begin to run rampant.
"Tell him! Tell him! Tell him! " is all he can hear from his brain.
"Kiri" his breath catches in his chest.
He can do it. He can pour out here and now his fucking feelings. He...
"Yes" Kirishima holds his gaze steady.
...no. He can't do it. Not with Kirishima looking at him like that.
"I" he starts to stammer "I... I’m" "I have to....".
He takes a deep breath to encourage himself. He's not a fucking coward
"Listen good, shitty hair because that's the only time I'll say it" Kirishima looks at him in surprise, but doesn't interrupt. "I like you" a great weight is lifted from his shoulders and heart. "My fucking thoughts always end up coming back to you and.... for some unknown reason when you're with me everything is fucking bright and red around me" he blushes, but doesn't stop, not until he says it all.
"You try terribly not to upset me. But nothing you do; I could never, ever get angry enough and..." swallows sage before continuing "when the nightmares wake you up and you come to my room sad and scared, I just want to hold you until you go back to sleep..."
Kirishima smiles at him. An open, giant smile. One that warms and explodes his heart
"...But you bastard stopped doing that, stopped coming to me for comfort and I fucking hurt when heard your sobs on the other side, so much so that I had to ask you for a fucking explanation."
"I don't want to disturb your peace Bakubro. I always talked too much after a nightmare and you need sleep."
"Shitty hair, you're so dumb you don't realize that my nights are more peaceful with all those crazy fucking things you tell me before bed."
Kirishima's heart can't take any more and fearlessly his hands go to the blond's thin waist to pull him closer to him. "That's a confession Bakubro."
"No, you idiot. I just go around and spill my fucking feelings on anyone. Of course, it's a confession! God, I can't believe I like someone so dumb li.... !
He can't continue speaking when rough, wet lips impact against yours. His brain, for the second time, short-circuits and all he can do, is melt over those strong arms holding him.
"I love you too" Kirishima says as he breaks away from him. All smiling and glowing.
If the sun had a face it would definitely be this idiot's.
He forcefully grabs him by the collar of his shirt and stamps, again, his lips with his opposite one. Satisfaction runs through his body when it is Kirishima's turn to melt against him.
He opens his mouth to give way to the redhead's tongue and a moan escapes his lips when sharp teeth bite his lower lip.
His restlessly hands begin to glow with small explosions that tries to stop, but to no avail as his tongue meets his opposite. The heat, taste and wetness of Kirishima's mouth makes him moan loudly.
No longer worrying, latches onto the other's neck and allows himself to enjoy. He would never hurt Kirishima with his explosions. He is her rock, her shield, her horse that never backs down.
Their quirks are made to be and work together.
In retaliation, his body is pushed towards the door and the redhead's hands on his waist envelop him completely. Their chests touch, their breaths intermingle, their hearts go to the same beat.
"Too much, too much" his brain warns him. He needs oxygen if he is not to pass out.
With willpower puts his hand on his opponent's strong chest to pull them apart.
"You can't kiss me like that" Kirishima says while kissing Bakugou's cheeks as he is separated from his lips "moan like that" he caresses his nose with the blond's until he slides to his ear "and don't expect consequences Katsuki."
"Eijiro" he whimpers.
God, the idiot knows how to leave him speechless!
Kirishima goes to kiss him again, but his brain (already on oxygen again) warns him that the others are about to wake up soon and if he doesn't hurry he won't be able to have breakfast before going to class.
"Stop right there shitty hair!" his hand goes back up to put distance between the two of them. "We should get ready to go to class."
"But baby..." he has to overlook Kirishima's affectionate nickname and big, bright, stupid, cute puppy dog eyes if he wants to be on time.
"5 minutes for you to get your shit so we can go to the shower" he warns already with his back turned, turning his door handle to get inside and get a little away from the ball of sunshine in front him and now boyfriend?
Kirishima smiles big as he pumps his fists "Yes. Then we can shower together."
"Ahhh!"
The members of class 1-A coming out of their rooms, ready to start a new day and heading towards the kitchen to prepare themselves something to eat, they hear Bakugou's explosions and Kirishima's uncontrolled laughter again as they both head towards the showers.
"Die hair for brains."
They will never understand how Kirishima can find Bakugou's wild attitude funny.

“The video has 10,000 plays and 5,000 likes Good job bro!" Kaminari congratulates him.
Kirishima smiles.
Not only did his number of followers on TikTok grow with Bakugou's help.
Because he finally has a boyfriend to record those couple videos with!
But he's happy to be celebrating a year with his favorite person.
