Kirishima Eijirou was a good friend.
Everyone he knew shared the same opinion. The red head was just so sweet and loveable. He’d do anything for his friends !
“Maybe I should establish some limits.”
The boy was standing in front of the restaurant where he was supposed to meet his date. His blind date.
“It’ll be fun ! Besides, you definitely need someone, Kirishima. I can’t stand your single ass any longer.”
The red head sighed as he thought of his friend Ashido’s words and opened the door of the restaurant.
All he knew about his date was that he was a friend of Ashido's friend, Uraraka. He also knew that he had blonde hair.
The restaurant wasn’t crowed. It was 12.30, though.
The red head awkwardly walked along the tables in hopes to find his date. But all he saw were old men and women. Please, not a sugar daddy, he thought.
Suddenly, as he was about to pull out his phone to text his friend, he heard a rough, low voice.
“Oi. Red.”
The red head quickly looked up and scanned the room, looking for that low voice. He then spotted a spiky-haired blondie at the back of the restaurant, legs spread and arms crossed on his chest. He was wearing a black leather jacket and a black t-shirt with black cargo pants. He also had black Dr Martens.
Hot.
Kirishima smiled and walked to the table.
“Hey, man ! Are you Ashido’s friend’s friend ?”
The other boy raised a brow at him and scoffed.
“Pfft. Yeah. Uraraka’s ’friend’ or whatever.”
Kirishima nodded awkwardly and looked around. Should he sit ? He didn’t know how a blind date worked.
“What are you doing ? Take a damn seat or leave, if you don’t like what you see or whatever.” The blonde mumbled and looked out of the window.
Kirishima blinked and sat quickly. “Oh, no !! It’s not that, I swear ! It’s my first blind date, that’s all.” He smiled awkwardly, showing his shark teeth to his date. The latter stared without saying a word and looked down at the menu.
“Whatever. I’ve already picked what I wanted to eat. Since you were late.” He looked up at the other boy with eyes that basically said ’you made me wait. I didn’t like it.’
Kirishima blushed with embarrassment and rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
“Ah ! Sorry, man. I got lost in the subway !” he laughed and looked down at the menu. He was so hungry. He could eat anything.
He could feel eyes on him as he looked for what he wanted to eat. That guy was pretty weird.
Wait.
“Dude, I didn’t even ask for your name ! So unmanly of me !” the red head gasped and looked up at his date, cheeks red. He hated looking unmanly in front of others.
His date slowly looked back up with a confused expression.
“Un….manly…”
Kirishima nodded eagerly. “Yeah ! I should’ve asked you ! I’m so bad with dates, honestly. But my name’s Kirishima Eijirou ! What about you ?” he smiled widely, excited to know about his date’s name.
The latter didn’t say anything at first and just stared. But his eyes weren’t the same as before. He didn’t look annoyed. He wasn’t judging.
He was amused.
“Pfft.” A small breathy laugh escaped his lips as he covered his mouth. Kirishima gulped. Did he go too far ?
“Bakugou. Katsuki Bakugou.” The blonde haired boy smirked as he let out another breathy laugh.
Kirishima’s eyes widened as he smiled. That’s so cool ! Katsuki suited him well. Kirishima felt happy as he realised that his date was slowly opening up to him.
“Are you ready to order, gentlemen ?”
The red head was about to speak up but he was interrupted by the waitress.
“Oh ! Yeah ! Definitely !" Kirishima smiled and looked down at the menu as Bakugou spoke up.
“Mapo Tofu. And a blonde beer.”
The waitress nodded as she took notes and waited for Kirishima to pick his meal. The latter looked up at his date and widened his eyes.
“Wow, spicy ! It suits you, actually.” He smiled and stared at the blonde. He indeed looked like the type to enjoy spicy food.
He looked spicy.
He looked hot.
“Excuse me, sir ? Have you chosen or…”
The red head jumped and looked at the waitress with a blush. How embarrassing !
“H-huh..I’ll take the steak with the potatoes, please ! Sorry !” he handed the waitress the menu with an embarrassing laugh.
The woman nodded and walked away. Kirishima turned his head to his date who was already looking at him with a smirk. He was definitely mocking him.
“You didn’t order anything to drink, idiot.”
Oh !
Oh.
“Oh, man ! I forgot !” the red head laughed and looked outside embarrassingly. He didn’t know why he was so awkward. Bakugou probably wished he didn’t come.
“You’ll just- drink in mine or something. If you can handle beer.” He heard the other mumble, which made him turn his head towards him.
Bakugou looked a little embarrassed. It was actually cute.
“Yeah, thanks !” he smiled and played with his thumbs. “So…. What do you like ? Any hobbies ?”
Kirishima was usually the social and outgoing type. It was never a problem to make conversation. But Bakugou was just- so handsome. It was way more difficult with him.
“Yeah. Playing the drums. I’m in a band.” The blonde shrugged and looked at the red head. “Got a bike, too. I came with it.” He looked up at the smiling red head. “My cooking skills are also the best.” He smirked.
Kirishima smiled widely as he listened. Bakugou was becoming more and more talkative which made him feel better. And he was playing in a band ? He knew how to cook? He had a bike !?
Hot.
Bakugou was so interesting. Kirishima wanted to know more about him.
“Really ? That’s so-”
“Mapo Tofu, blonde bear and a steak !”
Kirishima was once again interrupted by the waitress who brought their meals. That was so fast !? The red head licked his lips at the view if their food. It looked delicious.
“Thank you so much !” Kirishima smiled and looked up at Bakugou. “Bon appetit, man !”
The blonde smirked and nodded. Kirishima really amused him.
“Yeah. You too, Red.”
Kirishima really liked how this date was going. Talking with Bakugou was just- so natural. The blonde was so cool and interesting ! Kirishima couldn’t help but be curious about his life.
“Wait- so you just ran after the dog ?” he exclaimed with a laugh as his mouth was full.
The blonde rolled his eyes with a smile. “Don’t talk with your mouth full, idiot. But yeah. It fucking stole my food. I had to.“ he laughed as he looked at the other. “Hey. Wanna.. taste my food or something ?”
Kirishima calmed down from his laugh and blinked slowly.
Wow. That was so manly.
“Y-yeah, absolutely !” he smiled and waited. Should he grab his own fork ? Will Bakugou give him his fork ? What he was supposed to do ?
“Oi. Lean forward, dumbass. My arm isn’t long enough to reach your stupid face.” The blonde spat as he extended his fork of food. Kirishima blinked and smiled.
An indirect kiss with Bakugou ! So fun !
The red head nodded and slowly leaned forward, looking up at his date with his big red puppy eyes. He took a bite of the spicy food and hummed, his eyes shining like stars.
“Woah- twats swo good !” he moaned, his mouth full.
Bakugou rolled his eyes. “Stop talking with your mouth full. You’re going to fucking choke.”
Kirishima swallowed and nodded. He had the dumbest joke in mind right now. If he were with his friends, he would’ve definitely said it.
Fuck it. He’ll say it.
“I mean … I’m pretty much used to that.”
Please don’t run away, he thought. Kirishima really enjoyed his date. He hoped he didn’t go too far by implicitly saying that he’s used to choking.
Besides, that was a joke.
Kirishima had never sucked dick in his life.
Even though he would now.
“Pfft-”
The red head was interrupted in his thoughts by his date’s laugh. The latter smirked and looked down at his plate.
“Yeah ? Good to know.”
What.
Kirishima didn’t known if it was the spicy food he just ate, but he felt hot. Very hot. Bakugou couldn’t just say that with the hottest smirk on his face.
He needed to drink something.
But he forgot to order anything to drink.
Fuck.
“I-I… C-can I taste your beer ? You promised me, haha !” the red head tried playing it cool but deep down, he was dying.
And Bakugou noticed it.
With the same smirk, he nodded and locked eyes with the other boy. He slowly took a sip of his drink before handing it to Kirishima.
“It’s a good one.”
Kirishima nodded and tried not to scream as once again, he was about to indirectly kiss Bakugou. He took a sip of the drink, blushing at how the blonde stared at him.
“Mhm… it’s really good !” he nodded with a shy smile and handed Bakugou his drink. The latter nodded and took a sip right after him, placing his lips right where Kirishima had put his.
Fuck.
“…Oi. Kirishima.”
“Yeah ? What ?” the red head widened his eyes. He was once again lost in thought.
But what he didn’t expect was to face a blushing Bakugou.
“I was asking you about… your damn hobbies or whatever. Shit you like.” The blonde mumbled as he stared down at his plate.
Kirishima smiled. He could notice that Bakugou wasn’t the type to ask those questions. He felt special.
“Oh ! Well..” he thought as he cut his steak. “I play hockey ! I wouldn’t say I’m great but I’m in a good team with some friends …” he smiled at his date.
The latter nodded as he took a sip of his beer. “You better be good. I’m won’t watch you play if you suck ass.”
Kirishima laughed. He felt much more confident. Bakugou indirectly suggested coming to his games. That was crazy.
“I’ll do my best to give you a good show ! You’ll definitely cook something in return for me, right ?” he smirked.
Kirishima was already done with his food. He always ate so fast.
Bakugou rolled his eyes with a smirk. He had also finished his food.
“In your dreams, Red.”
Kirishima wished he had ordered more food. He didn’t want the date to end. He wanted to talk with Bakugou all day.
“Gentlemen, are you done ? Can I take your plates ?”
Kirishima had never hated a waitress before. But today was different.
“Yeah.” Bakugou replied, which saddened the red head. Maybe he wanted to go home.
“And we’ll take a look at the dessert menu.”
Oh !
Bakugou wanted dessert, great ! It meant more time to spend together ! Kirishima was so happy. He smiled at the blonde and nodded.
The waitress immediately gave them the menu and walked away.
“Is there something that tempts you ?” Kirishima asked, his eyes scanning the menu for something to eat. Everything looked so yummy.
“Yeah.”
“Hm ? What is it ?” the red head asked as the blonde didn’t give more details.
Kirishima felt eyes on him. He looked up and blushed as he realised that Bakugou’s beautiful eyes were staring right at him. He didn’t say anything for a while. Just stared at Kirishima as if he was some cake.
“Strawberry.”
“Strawberry ?”
“Yeah.” Bakugou nodded as he looked at Kirishima from up and down. “I wanna eat strawberry.”
The red head blinked, completely clueless. He didn’t know that the blonde was clearly flirting with him.
“Okay ! Let’s find you something with strawberry, then !” he smiled and looked back down at the menu.
Bakugou just nodded and smiled.
Kirishima and Bakugou were chatting while eating a strawberry pie.
“And then-” Kirishima continued, his mouth full, as usual. “And then Kami scored the goal ! It was sick, dude. I didn’t do much during that game, though.” He shrugged.
“Shut up. If you’re still in your team, it means you’re fucking great.” Bakugou rolled his eyes.
Bakugou had a weird way of complimenting people. But Kirishima loved it. Bakugou’s words really warmed his heart.
“Hey…” he asked, somehow feeling nervous. “Is this your first blind date ?”
Bakugou swallowed his food and looked up at his date as he raised a brow in confusion. He was probably not expecting that question.
“No.” He wiped his mouth with his napkin. “No, it’s not.”
Kirishima couldn’t help but feel hurt. Bakugou was used to these types of dates. He probably accepted to meet Kirishima as an habit. The red head was starting to feel insecure.
And Bakugou felt it.
“Uraraka is a pain in the ass.” He mumbled. “Always introducing me to every gay fucker she knows.”
Kirishima smiled a little at that.
“And.. Were they a good experience ?”
Please say no, the red head thought.
Bakugou thought for a moment and smirked.
“This is the first dessert I’ve eaten in a long time.”
And just like that, Kirishima smiled widely.
Bakugou just admitted that his previous dates never lasted until the dessert. But he was the one who asked for the dessert menu. Which meant…
Which meant that Kirishima was different.
The two boys were laughing at one of Kirishima’s dumb jokes when the waitress arrived.
“Would you like the bill ?”
Kirishima looked at his date. That was it. They couldn’t escape the bill anymore. The both knew it.
“Yeah..” he said quietly, unable to hide his disappointment as he looked down at his feet.
“I’ll pay. Gather your things and wait for me at the door.”
Kirishima widened his eyes and looked back up at the other boy.
“What ? No way, man ! Let me pay !” he pleaded. “I was late earlier and-”
“Shut up.” The blonde smirked and stood up. “I’m serious. Wait for me outside. I’ll be there in a minute. Can you do that for me ?”
Kirishima felt the blush rush through his cheeks as he slowly nodded. Bakugou had already so much power over him.
He thanked the waitress and put his coat on. Bakugou gave him one last smirk before walking to the counter to pay. Kirishima thought he saw him pull out a pen from his pocket. Was he maybe paying by cheque ? That was unusual, but why not.
Kirishima walked out of the restaurant and waited outside, just like Bakugou had told him to. The latter came out a couple of minutes later.
“Good.” He said as he looked at Kirishima, as if he has expected him to leave.
The red head awkwardly nodded and stared at the floor.
“T-thanks for paying, man ! I swear you shouldn’t have-”
“Yeah, yeah. I know. I’m so damn sweet.” The blonde smirked and put his hands in his pockets. “Tell me where you live.”
“What ?” Kirishima exclaimed, clearly not expecting that question.
Bakugou rolled his eyes and walked to a motorbike. A beautiful, red motorbike.
Oh.
He was suggesting to take Kirishima home.
“Oh ! You don’t have to, dude ! I totally can use the subway.” He laughed awkwardly and ran a hand through his hair.
Fuck. He shouldn’t have said that.
“Kirishima.” The red head heard that low intimidating voice. “I’m taking you for a ride. Get your ass up here.”
God. Bakugou was so manly.
Three minutes later, the red head was holding Bakugou’s waist for dear life. The blonde drove very fast.
It was scary but it also felt so good. Kirishima felt free.
And he also had his arms around Bakugou’s waist. He definitely won in life.
The ride was too short. Kirishima wanted it to last forever.
He sighed as they arrived in front of his and Ashido’s house. The red head kept his arms around the other boy for a bit longer, not wanting to pull away.
“Is it here ?” Bakugou asked as he took off his helmet.
Kirishima did the same and nodded. He was so sad right now.
“Yeah ! It is… thanks for the ride, man !” he smiled and stood back on his feet. How was he supposed to say goodbye now ?
“Hm.” Bakugou nodded and stood up as well. Kirishima raised a brow at him in confusion.
But Bakugou just put his hands in his pockets and walked to Kirishima’s door.
“If you thought I wouldn’t walk you to your damn door, you’re dumber than I thought.”
Kirishima smiled widely.
Bakugou was walking him to his door.
Just like a real date.
The red head happily followed as he giggled. He felt so happy, now.
The two boys have arrived at Kirishima’s door. The red head wanted to invite his date over so bad, but his roommate was probably there. And honestly, he needed to cool down from his emotions.
“Sooo…” he laughed nervously as he looked down at his feet. He had never done this before. He didn’t know what to do.
But Bakugou just got closer to him, to the point where their chests were almost touching.
Oh God. First kiss. Deep breaths, Kirishima.
The red head closed his eyes and clenched his fists. He was ready for that damn kiss.
But it didn’t happen.
Instead, he felt a hand in his pocket.
Kirishima opened his eyes, completely confused. Bakugou, on the other hand, had a smirk on his face. He slowly leaned in and whispered in the red head's ear.
“See ya, Eijirou.”
With a chuckle, Bakugou pulled his hand out of Kirishima’s pocket and walked over to his bike, leaving a red and confused Kirishima. The latter watched his date take off on his motorbike and blinked.
“Oh my god, finally ! You’ve been gone for so long !” the red head heard his roommate as soon as he walked into their shared apartment. Ashido has been waiting for the red head all day. She wanted to know all the details.
Kirishima laughed and shook his head. “Sorry, dude ! But I couldn’t use my phone, it would’ve been so rude !”
Kirishima took off shoes as well as his coat. However, he noticed something falling from his pocket. A white piece of paper.
“What’s that ?” Ashido asked.
The red head bent down to pick it up and frowned. He didn’t know.
But when he opened the paper, he couldn’t hide the dumb smile on his face.
“You better tell me when your next game is. I wanna watch you kick ass.”
“Oh my God- he even added his number !”
Kirishima jumped and hid the paper against his chest as he felt Ashido behind him.
“Stop spying on me !” he cried and ran to his room as Ashido laughed.
Kirishima locked the door of his bedroom and laid on his bed with a huge smile. He looked at the paper and read the message over and over again. Bakugou had such a messy handwriting. When did he write this ?
Oh God. Was it when he went to pay for the bill ?
“So manly !” Kirishima whined and stared at the ceiling.
His first blind date has been a great success.
With a giggle, he grabbed his phone and added the number that was written to his contacts.
