-.Oh, hi Kats!-.Eijirou greeted him. Katsuki frowned, it was Saturday morning -08:00 am- neither Ei nor his idiots would wake up that early in the weekend.
-.What the fuck?-.Grumbled the blonde as he got closer to the-. Isn’t too early for all of you?-.Eijirou stood up so Katsuki could sit down on the kitchen isle’s chairs.
-.Ugh, don’t remind us-.Said Denki.
-.We need to organize us, we have to prepare-.Said Mina.
-.Pray tell what for-.Asked Katsuki.
-.We got tickets for Dazzler, babe-.Answered Eijirou.
-.I thought those were sold out here in Japan?-.Mina hummed.
-.Yes, but one sad look from our dear Sero and Todobabe got them-. Sero blushed.
-.I-It wasn’t like that Mina!
-.Oh, it was just like that-.Denki agreed.
-.But now, we have to get ready and time isn’t on our side-.Said Mina.
-.When’s the concert?
-.Like, six months from now.
-.That’s plenty of time.
-.For you “Mr. Perfection” may be but for us mortals is not-.Said Denki.
-.We have to check our outfits, chose an era, check the setlist, learn the chants, do the friendship brazalets and keep up school-.Said Sero. Katsuki sighed and stood up.
-.I’ll start breakfast while you do, whatever-.Said the blonde.
-.Thanks babe-.Said Eijirou and Katsuki grumbled a “yeah, yeah”.
-.Honestly, I think we’ll have issues with the brazalets. We have to buy the material and learn to do them-.Said Eijirou.
.-‘Roki sent me some tutorials, we can check them out and see which one works for us?-.Said Sero and Katsuki couldn’t help but to tense at that.
See, Katsuki Bakugou had one goal on his life: to become the number 1 hero, be even greater than his idol All-Might. In order to achieve that, he began to train his body and his quirk when he had turned seven-years-old. Much to his disagreement he couldn’t just train and train, he also had to rest and sleeping his eight hours at night didn’t count, apparently. So, he took on many hobbies; he played the drums and took ballet for a while until he got “too good” that he didn’t think his teachers could practice in the quite and private space of his room.
So, when he found himself looking for something “relaxing” to do on his resting days, he found out about jewelry… well more like imitation jewelry. It took his interest, so he bought the material and began to learn; for his luck, he liked it a lot and so he set up and online account to show and keep record of his work.
By the time he turned 12-years-old he was more or less recognized in the imitation jewelry world of Instagram. He didn’t care that much, but it was rewarding, for he felt like he wasn’t wasting his time while he rest.
A win-win scenario if you asked him.
Even when he got into UA and bullshit happened left and right, he still found time to update his blog. No one -not even Deku, or so he hoped- knew about his side hobby, nor his friends nor his boyfriend.
Of course, secrets were hard to keep in the long run.
-.I like this one-.Said Denki after a while-.The, huh, person? They explain everything so well and it’s easy to follow his instructions-.Eijirou nodded.
-.Yeah, I like them too, even their easiest tutorials look pretty cool-.Said the redhead. Katsuki almost dropped the plates when he realized they were watching one of his videos.
-.Oh yeah! ‘Roki recommended this account. Apparently, Fuyumi-ne uses their videos with her kids at school-.Said Sero and Katsuki had to remind himself that he was standing like a fucking idiot in the middle of the kitchen with two plates on each hand, before he moved.
-.Huh, I thought there were videos for children?-.Said Katsuki as he put the food on the table.
-.Yes, but this person is really methodic-.Said Sero-.They have videos, photos and all of them are organize either by topic, levels, etc… Even when they don’t talk they are really good at explaining what’s going on-.Katsuki chuckled.
-.We’ll see that if Denki finishes one before the concert-.The squad laughed as Denki pouted.
-.I’ll do lots and you're gonna wear them!-.Said the light blonde.
-.Sure, Sparky-.Said Katsuki. He sat down besides Eijirou and the redhead kissed his cheek.
-.You better not start slacking off with school work, Shitty Hair-.Eijirou smiled.
-.Of course not babe-.Katsuki hummed.
-.Okay, show me what we’ll be working with-.Said Katsuki as his idiots cheered.

The good news was that neither his idiots or Todoroki suspected that the account they chose to use as a guide was his.
The not so good news was that Katsuki’s schedule was becoming unbearable; he had videos made to use as a back-up because he knew the Dazzler phenomenon was a good wave to ride for his hobby, but now he had to make his day stretch enough for him to do his school work, train, cook, sleep as close as he could to eight hours, help the idiots study, help the idiots with their brazalets and also do stuff to update his account.
It wasn’t that Katsuki couldn’t do it, but it certainly added an extra strain for him. Mostly because he had to keep his secret as it was: A secret. And he knew he could have managed to do it but he was a stupid idiot when it came to Eijirou Kirishima.
That dumb, lovely idiot.
Katsuki had gone looking for him, as he was late for their tutoring date. The ashen blonde didn’t think much of it when he stormed into his boyfriend’s room.
Eijirou screamed, and looked at Katsuki with wide eyes and rosy cheeks. Katsuki blinked.
-, Shitty Hair what… were you jerking of?-.Asked the blonde. He wasn’t judging, Eijirou and him may have been dating for a while but they hadn’t gone all the way and even when they shared some quality time together, Katsuki could understand if Eijirou wanted more in the privacy of his room.
Eijirou gaped like a fish before he let out a scandalize “NO!”
-.Ei, there isn’t any---
-.It wasn’t like that!-.Interrupted him the redhaired-.It…It wasn’t that babe-.Katsuki frowned.
-.Then what were you doing?-.Katsuki asked and Eijirou turned red once more.
-.You’ll laugh-.Said Eijirou with a pout on his lips.
-.I probably will-.Said Katsuki as he sat down besides Eijirou on his bed-.Still, want to share?-.Eijirou groaned.
-.I was trying to do this brazalet-.Admitted Eijirou as he passed his phone to Katsuki.
Katsuki grabbed it and frowned.
-.Eijirou, this brazalet is for people with way more experience---
-.I know! It’s just---I, ugh-.Eijirou passed a hand through his hair and sighed-.Look, I… I’m making two types of brazalets, the ones I’m gonna exchange and the ones that are for you-.He finished in a mumbled voice. Katsuki felt his heart skip a beat.
-.You… You’re making me brazalets-.Eijirou nodded.
-.I’ve been a fan of Dazzler since her first album and it’s been more than 10 years of her music and I like lots of her songs but, since I met you-.Said Eijirou looking at Katsuki’s reddening face-.It’s like I truly understand the secret meaning behind them-.Katsuki didn’t know what to say.
He wasn’t a die-hard-fan of Dazzler but he liked some of her songs, either because they were Eijirou’s favorites or because they remind him of his boyfriend.
It was an overwhelming feeling as fuck, but Katsuki got it. God, of course he did.
“You’re in love”, was one song that could perfectly summarized his feelings a that precise moment.
-.I just, I just wanted to at least make a brazalet that was on your level babe-.Said Eijirou. Katsuki smiled.
-.I’ll proudly wear whatever you have in stock for me-.Said the blonde and Eijirou’s cheek turned even redder-.Want me to help you, though?-.Eijirou pouted again.
-.It’s… I wan to be the one making them, though.
-.And you’ll be. I’ll just guide you-.Said Katsuki-.Come here-.Eijirou moved and he ended up sitting with his back to Katsuki’s chest, between the blonde’s legs. Katsuki took Eijirou’s hands and began to guide him as he talked on the redhair’s ears, softly, explaining what they’re doing.
They were halfway through the brazalet, when Eijirou let out a soft gasp. Katsuki didn’t think too much of it and continued until they finished.
Eijirou played with the finished brazalet, watching it and idly touching it. Katsuki smiled and before he could say something, Eijirou turned to him and spoke.
-.It’s you, isn’t?-.Katsuki frowned-.The videos, they’re yours-.Katsuki’s eyes widened.
-.W-What…-.Eijirou smiled.
-.I won’t tell but, they are, aren’t they?-.Katsuki pursed his lips but nodded. Eijirou’s smile grew-.There’s nothing you can’t actually do, is it?
“Except keep a secret from you, it seems”, the blonde thought.
-.I knew it had to be someone organized, wise and very skillful with such pretty hands-.Katsuki’s whole face turned red as Eijirou took his right hand and put the brazalet on it.
-.F-Fucking fuc-ker-.Eijirou kept smiling and kissed Katsuki’s hand. Katsuki tried to squirm away to no avail.
Once the blonde calmed down, Eijirou took him in his arms, leaving Katsuki’s back resting on Eijirou’s chest. It was then that the blonde looked at the brazalet Eijirou had put on him.
-.”Daylight”?-.Asked Katsuki. Eijirou hummed and put his lips near Katsuki’s ear.
“And I can still see it all in my mind.
All of you, all of me intertwined.
I once believe love would be
burning red…”
-…but it’s Golden, like Daylight”-.Whispered the redhead and Katsuki’s heart was hammering inside his chest.
According to Dazzler, Katsuki had gotten himself a “Lover”, it seemed.
How in the fuck had he gotten so lucky?
Katsuki turned his head to look at the magnetic force of a man that Eijirou was and kissed him.

In the end, his idiots figured it out.
Well, it was more of a “Denki-had-an-epiphany” episode and so he blurted it out one night when they were hanging on Mina’s on Mina’s room.
-.What?
-.Are you for real?!
-.Ei, did you know?
-.Come on guys, it’s no----
-.He knew!
-.Of course he knew.
-.Babe!
It was hard to admit, but Katsuki felt more relieved now that his friends knew. He could spend more time with them and teach them some new tips while he worked on his tutorials. Katsuki had always been so jealous of his hobbies and of the time he spent on them; he would have never imagined that one day, he would be sitting with his boyfriend and his friends doing brazalets, having fun and feeling at peace.
The concert was in four months, and he wasn’t sure if what he felt as he shared his hobby with them would last but, as for now, he would take the moment and taste it.
