It was late at night when Eijiro Kirishima woke up for no reason, which I guess was pretty normal for him. But something just felt off. So he did the only thing he could really do that late at night and go see who was awake. Denki was probably awake but Kiri liked leaving him as a last resort. Not to say he didn't like Kaminari that wasn't it at all! He could just be a bit much late at night.

He would usually skip Bakugou's dorm due to Bakugou's sleep schedule of going to bed and waking up super early but like I said, something felt off, so he decided to take a knock on the older males door.

To his surprise, he was met with a tired, yet awake, Katsuki Bakugou. Bakugou's expression went from irritated to calm in a matter of seconds. "What're you doin' up so late on a, technically, Sunday morning?" Kirishima questioned.

Bakugou shrugged in return. "Couldn't sleep I guess."

They stood there for a moment before Bakugou fully opened his door and motioned Kirishima to come in. Kirishima accepted the offer and sat down on Bakugou's bed, something only he was allowed to do. Bakugou closed the door and took his seat next to Kirishima, leaning his head on his shoulder in the process. Kirishima wrapped one arm around Bakugou.

They moved in the bed until they were laying down and comfortable. Honestly Bakugou always slept better when he had Kirishima's arms around him. And Kirishima always slept better knowing Bakugou was safe in his arms.

You could just tell how much the two cared for each other just by looking at them. One always wearing the others hoodie, ones arm always wrapped around the other, hands intertwined a lot of the time. But they didn't care what other people thought. Especially the homophobic bastards.

The first time the two showed PDA out in public, they caught a total Karen staring at them in disgust. Which made Kirishima nervous, which made Bakugou protective. All Bakugou did was slightly rub his thumb against Kiri's hand and whisper a small yet powerful "Let them stare Ei. What're they gonna do anyways? Call the cops?"

That line always stuck with Kirishima. "Let them stare". And so he did. And from that point forward, they didn't care. It was just them against the world. And they were happy. And they are happy.

So Kiri lay there, looking down at the sleeping Bakugou in his arms, and he thought to himself "Let them stare". How strong such simple words could be. He lightly chuckled, leaned down to kiss the precious person he felt so responsible for, and contently drifted off.

Love.

What a powerful thing.
