Little Explosions [kiribaku]

Chapter 15

        Bakugo was silent for a second, considering my confession. My heart beat loudly in my chest and my face was on fire from blushing so hard. I knew he liked me back, I was waiting for him to make the first move, I wanted to move at a pace he was comfortable with.

        He reached a hand out and set it on top of mine, then slowly weaved his fingers through mine and squeezed tightly. My breath hitched from embarrassment and I turned my head away from him back down to the city lights on reflex.

        He reached another hand up and stroked the side of my face for a second, then pushed my head every so gently back to looking into his gaze. He was going to do it.

        He face slowly came towards mine, and I shut my eyes. I had been waiting for this moment for so long, it seemed almost unreal it was happening right now. I could feel his breath on my face before he gently pressed our lips together, a quick peck at first. He pulled away and looked me in the eyes, then smiled and reconnected our lips fiercely.

         So there we were, making out on the edge of a rooftop while the city light casted their glow onto us. Two dumb kids so hopelessly in love with each other it hurt. Earlier I said that the cold air was the best feeling I could ever feel, but I was wrong again. This was so much better.

       Our lips danced together, and it was like instant happiness straight to my brain. Instantly any and all pain I had been feeling from my injuries was suddenly stamped down by his addicting kiss. He tasted so perfect, I don't think I could even describe it if I tried. There weren't enough pretty words in existence to describe the way Katsuki Bakugo kissed me.

       I reached up and set a hand gently on the side of his neck, and squeezed tighter onto his hand that was linked with mine. I never wanted to let him no. I wanted to savor this moment until the day I died. I wanted to sear the feelings I had and the sight of him into my brain forever.

        We pulled away for air, our foreheads touching as we looked each other in the eyes and smiled. His beautiful, gorgeous smile. It instantly filled me with a brand new desire to live and to be happy again. Anything to see that smile until the day I died.

"I love you." Bakugo whispered, making me melt in his arms and my face get as bright red as my hair.

"I love you too." I whispered back, smiling as I kept staring into those beautiful red eyes.

He laughed and gently wrapped his arms around me, and I instantly hugged him back as tight as I possibly could. I buried my face into his shoulder and his warm scent instantly enveloped me and calmed down my racing heart. His fingers trailed over my back as he gently caressed me. I think I was going to turn into a puddle if he kept doing this to me.

"I love you." He said again, a bit louder.

"I love you too." I smiled back, burying my face deeper into his shoulder.

"You're my boyfriend, right?" He muttered, tracing something with his finger on my back.

"Do you even need to ask?" I laughed, pulling away from him and setting my hand on the side of his face and caressing his jaw with my thumb.

He laughed and looked me in the eyes, bright red blush on his entire face. He closed the distance between our lips again, another heavenly kiss being shared between us. I sighed in relief into his touch and wrapped my arms around his neck, holding him closer.

He gripped onto my waist gently, tugging me closer to him. Every bit of distance between us needed to be closed, no space could exist that could separate the two of us.
