Captions On (Kiribaku Fanfic)

~23~ To Now and the Future

Bakugou POV

I swear to god, whoever keeps flickering the lights in my room while I'm trying to sleep is going to die once I wake up.

I refuse to open my eyes and resort to feeling around for my phone. Once I reach it, I let a sliver of light through my eyelids and check the time. It's fucking 8 am. Way too early for me to be up. I give up my petty stance and open my eyes to see who's annoying me at this godforsaken time of day.

'Morning sleepy head!' Kirishima signs, his expression light and kind of dazed, probably from excitement for the upcoming day.

Instantly, all of my aggression towards the situation evaporates and I'm left with an annoyed look on my face and with no intention of killing him. This is what love does to you. It makes you all soft and mushy for once. I can't say I hate it though.

This past year has been one of the best ones of my life. I've been able to make friends with so many new people and I even got a boyfriend. One of the best ones, may I add. Kirishima has been a literal godsend and he's helped me through so much that no one else could have. He brought me out of a dark place, and even though I'm not fully out, I'm doing so much better thanks to him.

It doesn't hurt that he looks like a fucking god.

I mean come on. No one could look at him and not think that. With his strong build, adorable bright red spiky hair, teeth that are just a little too spiky to look normal (but I think they're the best things in the world), amazing fashion sense and sense for colour combinations, bubbly personality that makes him seem like a golden retriever when happy and a fucking dragon when he's pissed, and so many other things, he's irresistible. I'm surprised someone else hasn't already taken him. Pleasantly surprised, that is.

I grumble a half-hearted response in his direction and shove my phone into my pocket before sitting up and making grabby hands towards him. He comes over, clearly chuckling, and grabs my hands before pulling me up into a hug. I breath in his scent and it makes me smile. I'm safe in his arms.

He kisses me and I'm surprised at a cold touch that hits my lips. I pull back, wondering what it was, and notice that he's put a small, silver ring into his lip piercing. It looks really good on him and I kiss it specifically to show my enjoyment. He chuckles once again and I head over to the bathroom to get ready. I take a quick shower to wash my greasy hair and wake myself up, but I don't bother with drying it. I just run a towel through it and hope it doesn't start dripping all over my clothes once I get dressed. I can't seem to find my comb so I resort to ruffling it with my hands and hoping it'll look decent once dry.

I head out towards Kirishima while pulling a black and orange hoodie over my head. He looks towards me and then immediately looks away and I notice that his face is a little red. Now it's my turn to chuckle. I run up and pick him up, much to his dismay, and then carry him to the couch in the living room and set him down, sitting on top of him. I crush him while I turn on the TV to watch something.

After a minute or two, he gives up with his many failed attempts to get out and I get off of him. He starts pouting and I laugh. He makes such a cute face when he pouts. I kiss his pouting face and this seems to satisfy him because he smiles and kisses back. I hardly even notice what's going on on the TV but it seems to be some kind of news station. I take my attention off of it completely and cuddle with Kiri. I soon start to fall asleep again but he shakes me awake before I can and I fall off the couch from the surprise jostling. I glare daggers at him and he just laughs.

'Fine then, no breakfast for you!'

'No, you're not making breakfast today-'

'I'm not letting you near the kitchen again so you're sure as fuck not making it.'
