Work Text:
Again, once again you are drunk.
Your alcoholic state was nothing new, when you and your group of best friends went out to a party you always drink alcohol to loosen up more. But ever since you became aware of your amorous feelings for a certain tall, blond-haired, red-eyed, smirking boy, your alcohol consumption increased dramatically.
It wasn't fair that he was so attractive, you literally must overexert yourself so that your eyes don't follow him at every turn. At this very moment, you don't even try not to look at him, you just can't resist the temptation to watch him dance in that white shirt that suits him so well and highlights his tan. In addition, Bakugo was wearing dark blue shorts with espadrilles. A beach style that makes you drool.
Three days ago, you and your friends arrived in Cancun to celebrate your college graduation. After 6 years of hard work, you all could now call yourselves engineers.
During all those years you saved money to be able to pay for the trip that consisted of seven nights in a four-star all-inclusive hotel, with excursions to nearby beaches and five nights of parties in different nightclubs located in the city.
Today's nightclub is quite particular, it is called La Vaquita and its decoration is full of cow figures hanging from the ceiling and a particular white print with black spots all over the walls. The music is good, a mix of reggaeton and electronic music playing loudly through the speakers inciting your body to move. Luckily for you, the place has great ventilation as it wasn't completely enclosed, so you can breathe well even with the number of bodies crammed on the dance floor.
You take your eyes off Bakugou and see how Kaminari is trying to converse with a pretty girl who only speaks Spanish, he is failing, but at least they are dancing together. A little farther away from you, Kirishima and Sero are lining up to buy more exotic drinks sold around the place. Behind Bakugou, Mina is dancing with a boy she met the day before at the party and matched up with again today, so basically you find yourself dancing alone with your biggest crush so far, but you guys are just friends. Every time your thoughts prompt you to fulfill your desires, you repeat that phrase to yourself, so you don't throw away years of friendship.
You've only known each other since college, but when you study a career as difficult as yours, you're bound to spend most of your day with your friends in class. In addition, every day you studied together at Mina's house until late at night, and some days you even slept together in Mina's living room. So much time together forced you to get to know him more and more, which made you like him more and more. His temperament wasn´t entirely friendly, but when it came to you, his friends, he was very different.
You noticed over time, Bakugou laughs more when he talks to you, takes your opinions into account, helps you study and understand textbooks, pays attention to your tastes, and remembers them, and likes to joke with you. On nights at nightclubs like this, he always dances with you, not all night, but he does. It's those actions that lead you to love him and fantasize that maybe, just maybe he might reciprocate your feelings. But that's when you put a stop to it because these are such mundane actions that anyone can have with a close friend. You think you're just filling yourself with false hope.
The music changes and starts playing bachata, immediately the atmosphere of the joint becomes charged with something sexy as if the sexual tension of all the people present is building up in the air. You are not an expert in Latin music, but thanks to many videos on TikTok you know how you should dance. With your eyes slightly unfocused you start moving your hips to the rhythm of the music, trying to repeat the steps you saw repeatedly in the videos.
You close your eyes to feel even more the song seeping into your bones, and when your eyes open again, they connect with Bakugou's eyes. You catch him watching you dance, it's not the first time. Repeatedly you already caught him watching you. Bakugou smiles and holds out his hand for you to take. You gladly take it as you continue dancing, he spins you around once in your place and then you are facing him. Your hands rest on his big shoulders and he gently places them on your waist. You both sway to the music trying to follow the other couples dancing around.
<Y si te invito una copa y me acerco a tu boca
Si te robo un besito
A ver, ¿te enojas conmigo?>
You don't understand Spanish well, but you recognize the word boca and besito that you learned from your online classes. You know the lyrics talk about "misbehaving", you feel it in the rhythm and in the behavior of the other people, as they all start kissing.
Your hands travel higher and intertwine on the back of Bakugou's neck, he responds by pulling your body closer to him. You are completely glued to each other as you dance, his mouth is at the level of your left ear, and you can hear him humming.
<¿Qué dirías si esta noche te seduzco en mi coche?
Que se empañen los vidrios y la regla es que goces>
You and Bakugou begin to spin in place slowly and seductively, at some point your left leg is caught between his legs and his left leg between yours. You feel his grip gently descend to your hips as the song continues. After a few verses entirely in Spanish, you hear words in English.
<How 'bout if you and I, me and you
¿Bailamos bachata?
Y luego you and I, me and you
¿Terminamo' en la cama?
Me and you
You and I
Me and you
You and I >
You move away a little and look at him. Red and black hypnotize you, and your gaze travels to his full lips that you're dying to kiss and bite.
Now. The moment is perfect to kiss him. It doesn't matter if he rejects you and things get awkward, you can blame it on the three shots of tequila you had and wash your hands of any explanation.
You half-open your lips and approach him...
"Bakubro you have to try this!"
A drunken Kirishima and Sero approach you with two glasses of blue drink, completely oblivious to the moment they just interrupted. The presence of your friends completely breaks the spell between you, the song changes to a more upbeat and moving one and so your chance slips through your fingers.
Bakugo focuses entirely on Kirishima and his enthusiasm. "What the fuck?" exclaims Bakugou as he grabs the cup and closely examines its color.
"Just taste it!" insists Sero.
Bakugou takes a sip and then his frown is replaced by astonishment.
"It's good."
"Yn your turn" Sero holds out his glass towards you.
You deny it immediately, you already have enough tequila coursing through your veins, and you don't want to mix it with whatever that is. Your gaze travels to Bakugou and once again you catch him looking at you, but he immediately looks away and concentrates on his drink. That's exactly why you never tried anything with him, your heart can't take his rejection.
You snatch the glass from Sero and take a good sip, with your free hand you grab Sero's hand and turn him around to dance with him. After a few minutes, Kaminari joins you and you dance with them for the rest of the night.
The blue drinks, tequila shots plus the spins you made poor Kirishima do make him throw up on a table. Signal to go back to the hotel.
Mina tells them that <she wants to saty to dance more>, and after a few threats to Mina's companion to take her safely, Bakugou, Sero, Kaminari, and you leave the place with a very drunk Kirishima in tow.
In the cab, Kirishima goes on babbling about how beautiful Mina is and how he wants to form a future with her. You chuckle to yourself, you're not the only one with an unrequited crush in the group.
Once at the hotel all take Kirishima to his shared room with Bakugou and help them clean him up and put him to bed. Your shared room with Mina is on the same floor, so it only takes you a few steps to get to your room.
With your shoes off, you lie down on the bed, and everything suddenly spins in your head. Damn blue drink.
The moments of the night with Bakugou flash through your mind. The only thing you accomplished tonight was to make things uncomfortable and increase your desire for him. You fool. Silly
If you didn't succumb to the urge everything would be perfectly fine. You with your silly crush and Bakugou unsuspecting about your feelings.
Days like these, when your emotions were too much, make you despair.
How is it possible to love so much? Every time you think about your future, you see it there. You want Bakugou to be a part of your life on a much deeper level than just friendship. You see him as your boyfriend being introduced to your family, living with him in an apartment with a cute pet that you will adopt together. You see yourself married to him with children, talking about work, planning trips, and growing old together.
How did you develop such strong feelings for a person who doesn't love you back?
Overwhelmed by it all, you decide to take a shower to clear your head. Freshly showered and in your pajamas, you go down to the small 24-hour dining room for food. Junk food will help the hangover. You serve many fries on a plate and grab a cheeseburger, before taking a seat.
Quiet footsteps echo through the quiet dining room, focused on your food and thoughts you pay no attention to the newcomer. A few minutes later, the chair in front of you slides and you watch the owner of your feelings sit down. Neither of them speaks, they just go about their eating and although you started earlier, they finish their meal at the same time.
"How is Kiri?" you break the silence.
Bakugou twists his lips thoughtfully "A little better, I fed him water and he fell asleep."
You nod without adding anything else. Again, silence fills the space between you. You don't want to talk about what happened today, but you know Bakugou is a forward person and doesn't waste time beating around the bush, so you wait for him to speak.
His fingers start drumming the table, a habit he has when he wants to say something he's not sure about. "There...?" he begins.
"I was going to kiss you" you cut him off midway through his question.
Better get this over with quickly. You want him to reject you as quickly as possible to close cycles. It's been too many nights thinking about him, overthinking the interactions between you. Enough of the false hope you give yourself every day. For your peace of mind, it's better to set the record straight right now.
You wait for his answer patiently without taking your eyes off him. Bakugou nods as he forms a small pout with his mouth. He's going to reject you, you feel it, you know it, you're not meant to be together no matter how compatible your sun and rising signs are.
"I was going to kiss you too." Your breath hitches. Did you hear that right? You try to calm your heart thudding loudly through your rib cage.
"Why?"
Bakugou cocks his head in confusion.
"Why do you want to kiss me?" you insist "Because you were horny or because you like me?"
Bakugou laughs lightly before smiling at you "Both options are correct."
You bite your inner cheek to keep from smiling so broadly, but you fail. You both smile at each other until you explode with laughter. Your laughter is nervous because he is telling you that he reciprocates your feelings, maybe not with the same intensity, but he loves you as more than just a friend.
You waited so long for this moment that you're surprised you don't know how to react So now what? What are you supposed to say when your crush confesses he has feelings for you0?
"I'm relieved I didn't" you feel your heart sink.
"Huh?" "What I mean is" he pauses and then looks at you with the sincerest eyes you've ever seen "I didn't want our first kiss to be impulsive while we were drunk." You nod and he takes your hand on top of the table. "You're too important in my life and I want to make things right with you, I don't want to make you doubt my feelings, so I waited."
If only he knew that for a year and a few months now that his mere presence makes you doubt his feelings for you. You squeeze his hand.
"You too are too important to me, and I also like you very much."
"I know."
You squint at his answer and give him a dirty look. How long has he known? Weren't you good at dissimulation? Was he playing with you with all those interactions?
"I didn't say anything before because I wasn't sure, Mina told me today before we got to the nightclub."
That tattletale, she sure got tired of listening to your whining towards the blond. A loud yawn interrupts the train of thought. Now that you're satisfied, the tiredness of the night hits you. Bakugou stands up and pulls your arm to follow him. Holding hands, you ride the elevator up to your floor and Bakugou opens the door to your room.
"Sleep with me today."
Bakugou lies down and opens his arms for you to snuggle with him. You hug him and feel your body relax. You've wanted this for so long that it feels like a dream to be in this position with him.
Bakugou kisses you on the forehead and you lift your face to face each other. Your hand goes up to his right cheek and you run your thumb gently across his sharp cheekbone. His gaze is defiant, waiting for you to make the first move. You take his lower lip between your lips slowly, appreciating the sensation. Immediately he follows your kiss. It starts slow, patiently exploring your mouth for the first time, then the kiss intensifies. You open your mouth and Bakugou's tongue meets yours, dominant as all get out. He kisses you eagerly, just as you do. Feelings and desires are released from both of you after being locked together for so long. He sucks your lower lip hard and then begins to spread kisses along your jaw and the beginning of your neck. You expose more of your neck to give him more of a reach as you grip the hair at the nape of his neck tightly. A sigh of satisfaction escapes your mouth as he kisses you under your earlobe.
"Bakugou."
"From now on its Katsuki" his words fill your stomach with butterflies, it's so intimate to call him that way since he only allows it to a few people.
His hand starts to ascend underneath your pajamas, it goes to your breasts and
"Tequilaaa!" Kirishima's sleepy voice startles them both, they had completely forgotten that their friend was in the next bed.
Laughing, the two of you settle back to sleep. This time you're not hugging your pillow imagining it's Bakugou, this time he's there with you, reciprocating your feelings.
