Work Text:
The class 1-A had been surprisingly excited at the idea of celebrating mochitsuki together in the dorms, but when Aizawa had put everything they might need in the common room and had told them to do whatever they want with it, everyone had complained before getting to work
They were all so focused on thinking about their mochi, that no one noticed Kaminari walking up the stairs to his room and come back a few minutes later with a small bag of white powder he quickly emptied in the Mochi dough. Holding back a dumb laugh at his genius prank, but to be fair, he had been waiting for weeks to use it and it was, in his opinion, the perfect occasion.
When Iida directed everyone to a part of the common room and kitchen, explaining he would share the dough in mostly equal part, the class agreed to the suggestion and everyone took their spot.
Izuku was at the kitchen counter with Uraraka, Todoroki, Ashido and Aoyama, each of them having just enough place to be comfortable. He had already planned more or less what he would do. He was planning to use green food dye and to add black sesame seeds on top of his green mochi to make his freckles. It was Uraraka's idea but he had loved it immediately, he was still hesitating for the filling. He wanted to make something Kacchan would enjoy too since he was planning to offer him some, but he himself didnt like spices like his childhood friend did. His relationship with Kacchan was getting better, they werent really friends but they were definitely going somewhere... at least he thought so?
He focused back to the mochi, maybe he should stick to something green, like the outside. He looked at the fruits in the basket sitting in the common room and decided to go take a look at it, maybe he'll find something. And he was right, his eyes immediately brightened when he saw mint leaves and kiwis, he grabbed a few and went back to his side of the counter, ready to make his mochi. Taking a break to look at the others creation from time to time. Iida blueberrys mochi looked really good, Todoroki had went for something more traditional with Anko but Aoyama next to him had painted one side with red food dye. Talking about him, Aoyama's mochi were covered in edible glitters and Mina was actively resisting the urge to not add some on her own after ruinning the leopard pattern she had tried to draw.
Nearly two hours later, everyone was finally done, hand washed and their mochi displayed on the common room table, each one having their name written on their plate...
Izuku looked around to Katsuki, noticing the bright orange mochi with black explosions drawn with black sesame seeds powder. He took his own plate and walked to the blonde.
"Wow Kacchan, yours look so cool.
-Uh? Of course they do Nerd. Yours look... like you."
Izuku willingly ignored his childhood friend disgusted grimace at the sight of his mochi, took a deep breath and tried his luck.
"Lets share Kacchan, I'll give you one of mine to taste, and if you're fine with it I'll try one of yours?
-Oi, you think yours are going to taste better than mine? In your dreams Deku. I'll prove mine tastes better."
And as he said that, Katsuki grabbed one of his mochi and slammed it on Izuku's plate, the orange filling leaking slightly from it. Izuku grabbed one of his own and put it on Katsuki's plate gently before walking back to his place, not without hearing Katsuki complain that he wont even try his shitty green mochi.
Izuku had been forced to admit that Kacchan's spicy oranges jam mochi tasted delicious, of course he knew Katsuki was an amazing cook, but he wasnt expecting him to find a way to make this jam. But then again, maybe he wasnt creative enough when it came to cooking, unlike the blonde who had saw cardamom seeds, star anise pods and cinnamon sticks and immediately ran with it. But it didnt matter, his kiwi and mint mochi had tasted really refreshing after kacchan's one and he had really enjoyed the contrast between both...
The whole class was slumped on the couch, stomach full from all the mochi. Only a few still being in the mood to talk. Among them was Kirishima, sharing his brilliant idea for next year.
"And we could all do bite size mochi so we could try everyone's. We could rank it on who made the best one. It's not fair I wanted to try Bakubro's mochi but he only gave some to Midoriya."
At that Ashido looked at him insistently
"Are you saying mines werent good enough? After I shared them with you? So rude. I should have only shared with Yaomomo.
-I think they tasted really good Ashido, really sweet but in a nice way."
Yaomomo smiled while giving her opinion, making Kirishima nod his head in agreement, not wanting to upset Ashido.
Izuku noticed Katsuki getting up, the blonde was probably reaching the end of his social tolerance and was planning to head up to his room, so Izuku also got up not wanting to let the oldest leave without giving his honest appreciation of Kacchan's mochi. But when he got up, he felt a weird feeling in his body, like something was pulling him and suddenly his body was slamming against Katsuki's. Surprised noise came from all around the common room, as just like them, other were also slowly getting pulled to one another... Tenya to Shoto, Ashido to Yaoyorozu and Kirishima, Sero to Jirou, Hagakure to Asui and Uraraka...
When the chaos finally came down Aizawa had entered the common room and saw all his students in awkward position, except one... Standing dumbly with a grin on his face, admiring the mess he had created with his prank...
"Kaminari care to explain what's going on?
-I uh... Added some gluglu powder to the mochi... just as a prank."
Gluglu powder... Aizawa had vaguely heard about it, a popular and harmless powder who made people who ate similar food containing it get glued together. Harmless prank, that would be if his class wasnt counting one student.
Student who was already making small explosions crackles in the palm of his hands while glaring at the electric boy.
"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY DUNCE FACE? I'M STUCK TO THE FUCKING NERD BECAUSE OF YOU?"
Katsuki Bakugo was menacingly approaching Kaminari Denki, ready to make him explode and dragging Midoriya Izuku with him.
"Kacchan wait calm down, it was a prank nothing else it will probably stop making effect soon. Right Kaminari?"
Kaminari grabbed the empty plastic bag from his pocket to read the time of effect...
" 10 to 20 minutes, it can last one or two days if the cells of the body react well but its really rare.
-See Kacchan, Just 10 to 20 minutes..."
But suddenly Izuku's eyes widened and he turned his head to Katsuki, who was trying to push Izuku away without any success.
"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT FOR NERD?
-Kacchan... you tried my mochi?"
Katsuki looked at him, eyes widening slightly before quickly masking it and looked away, groaning in annoyance and disgust.
"You mean the disgustingly sweet green thing I forced myself to eat?
-Hey it wasnt disgusting, it tasted really good.
-Nowhere near as good as mines."
Izuku had nothing to say back, because obviously, Kacchans mochi were good, but he definitely didnt wanted to praise him after that.
Slowly the effect of the glued disappeared for everyone and they all happily jumped away from each others, gaining their freedom back. Except Izuku and Katsuki who were both trying to push the other away again, without any result.
"OI DUNCE FACE, WHY ARE WE STILL STUCK?"
Kaminari choked on his breath, scared for his life. 20 minutes had passed already... they should have already separated... but they hadnt ... it could only mean one thing. Their cells were reacting well to the powder, it would take them longer to separate.
In other words? He was basically dead already.
Before Katsuki could propels himself to explode him, Aizawa held him back with his bandage.
"Stay still Bakugo. You said it should fade in one or two days, right Kaminari? That cant be helped, you two will have to share a room for tonight. Now everyone clean this mess."
And the class 1-A obeyed. Trying to ignore Bakugo and Midoriya fighting to coordinate their movements.
"THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING NERD, I NEARLY TRIPPED.
-Why are you going to the left, the plates are to the right Kacchan.
-I DONT FUCKING CARE ABOUT THE PLATES."
Everyone could feel the collective headache forming. Thankfully for them, Katsuki Bakugo was an early sleeper. So at 8pm he dragged Izuku with him without even giving him a chance to argue and went to his room.
"Kacchan, why are we going to your room?
-Yours creep me out, with all those nerdy stuff everywhere."
Izuku turned his head away while Katsuki changed, mumbling that his all moght collection was not creepy, the oldest managed to pull the clean sleeping shirt on properly before throwing some clean clothes to Izuku for him to get changed. Once both ready, Katsuki dragged the youngest to his bed again and plopped on it, pulling Izuku next to him and directly placing pillows between them on every part not glued together, before laying down, ready to sleep
Izuku just closed his eyes, he wasnt used to sleep so early, he was more of a night owl, often staying up until late but somehow always well rested in the morning. So obviously, he didnt fell asleep easily, an hour in and he was still awake, eyes closed, but awake. He could hear Kacchan sleeping peacefully, so he opened his eyes, to peek at him. And he couldnt stop himself from biting his lower lip at the sight... Katsuki Bakugo... was really pretty when he was asleep, so calm and peacefull, long eyelash resting on his cheek. It was a rare sight. Katsuki Bakugo looking so... soft... Its not like Izuku was unaware of how pretty the oldest was before. Of course not. He wasnt blind, he knew Katsuki was good looking, handsome, pretty, whatever, but he was rarely allowing himself to think about him that way. After all they were barely friends, he couldnt allow himself to acknowledge his crush on the blonde... But when he was being so vulnerable in his sleep. It was hard not to...
Izuku nearly gasped when he felt Katsuki's hand sliding over his waist. The oldest still asleep, inconsciously pulling Izuku closer to him... and the green haired boy just closed his eyes again, guiltily allowing himself this moment. Trying to convince himself it was just to not wake up Kacchan, but knowing that he just wanted to selfishly enjoy this moment, knowing it might never happen again. So he just snuggled against him, thinking he would just have to use the excuse of being asleep to explain it later.
"Deku... oi deku wake up. FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO WAKE UP DEKU? YOU'RE DROOLING ON ME STUPID NERD."
Izuku jolted awake, looking at Kacchan in shock before quickly getting up in panick making them both fall to the floor and bumping their head against each other. Izuku's eyes widened, mortified ... because his forehead wasnt the only thing that had bumped aganst Katsuki... his lips too, or more exactly his teeth on katsuki's lips, cutting it just enought to make the blonde bleed.
"OH GOD KACCHAN, I'M SO SORRY I DIDNT MEANT TO KISS YOU.
-EH? YOU CALL THAT A KISS STUPID DEKU? YOU FUCKING BITE ME. I'LL SHOW YOU A KISS.
-What?
-What?"
Both of their eyes widened... Katsuki in his need to always be the best, had not thought twice before saying that... and they were now both staring at each other, cheeks red, embarrassed and not knowing what to say. Until Izuku finally spoke, surprising himself with his boldness but also thinking it might be his chance.
"So... you're going to show me that kiss?"
And Katsuki's eyes widen even more, struggling to chose between showing that he is the best in absolutely everything, and pushing the nerd away to not feel those old buried feelings resurface again after years. It was the very reason why he had stopped being friends with the nerd after all. Those weird feelings that made him distracted, his heart skipping beats, his eyes always searching Izuku and his mind always going to the nerd when he saw anything green, anything related to heros and precisely All Might.
But maybe he was too tired to think properly after just waking up, or thats the excuse he might used later, because he leaned in and pressed his lips against the other's one. Deku wanted to see a good kiss? He'll show him one hell of a kiss. He started to move his lips softly, the nerd was too much of a mess to have ever kiss anyone before, he was pretty sure of that, so he would go slow and stay soft, not rushing him and not scaring him away. He slided his hand on the other's nape, reaching to mess with the green hair here. Soft, fluffy. He felt Izuku's hand on his shoulder, hesitant but not pushing him away. And they kept kissing until Izuku pulled back, one hand covering his face, but not enough to hide the warm redness of it.
Katsuki groaned, this was too short in his tastes, way too short. And that was exactly why he had pushed Izuku away for years, he had always knew that once he would let the other in, he would never have enough of him.
"Enough already nerd?
-Give me a second, my heart is going to explode."
Yes, that was Katsuki's specialty, making things explode. But instead of saying that he just raised a brow at Izuku.
"So that mean you want more after it calm down?"
Izuku looked down to hide more of his face before answering, whining slightly from the teasing.
"Kacchan... Dont make fun of me.
-I'm not fucking making fun of you, I'm asking if you want more stupid Deku.
-If... If you want to...
-FUCK YOU MEAN IF I WANT TO? THATS NOT A FUCKING ANSWER.
-YES. YES KACCHAN I WANT MORE."
Izuku put his arm down to look at Katsuki properly, both of them staring at each other again. Not sure what to do with themselves after this whole conversation. When they both realized something...
They werent glued together anymore.
They were both sitting appart and had only realised now.
Izuku looked at Katsuki, suddenly looking a little scared that the blonde would expulse him from the room.
And Katsuki looked back. Because why were those green eyes so expressive all the time?
"OI DEKU. I just kissed you and asked you if you wanted more. I'm not kicking your ass out of my room, you can stop looking like a kicked out puppy."
And those words seems to reassure Izuku, because he leaned a little closer now. If Katsuki wasnt pushing him away, maybe he could be a little more greedy?
"You... like kissing me, Kacchan?
-Wasnt too bad. You need lipbalm. They were too chapped to fully enjoy."
He had enjoyed it a lot, but yes, some lipbalm will definitely not hurt the nerd.
"So... you would kiss me again if I wear lipbalm?"
Katsuki didn't answer and just kissed him again. Some chapped lips werent enough to stop him. He would definitely kiss the nerd with or without lipbalm now that he had a taste.
"That's exactly why I stopped being your friend, why the fuck are you being so pretty and so tasty even with dried drool on your cheek and chapped lips, stupid nerd.
-Kacchan? What does that mean Kacchan?
-What do you think it mean nerd?
-I dont know, that's why I'm asking.
-You know you have that hopeful glint in your eyes, you just dont want to assume."
Katsuki got up, grabbing Izuku's arm to lift him up too before walking toward the door of his room.
"Maybe if you brushed your teeth and washed the drool of yourself you'll get yourself a boyfriend for the start of the year nerd. I'm not kissing you with morning breath ever again."
Izuku's eyes widened, quickly followed by an happy smile as he quickly joined the blonde to the door, heading together in the common bathroom.
Maybe being stuck together wasnt so bad.
