~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bakugo grabbed his phone, which he had just felt buzzing in his back pocket. He smiled and chuckled slightly as he read Kirishima's text message.

Sharkboy ❤: Training was hard today huh?? I liked seeing you fight tho ngl hehe..... ANYWAYS can't wait to relax later lol, whaddya wanna do?

He quickly replied.

Baku: i dunno, how does ice cream and a movie sound

His boyfriend responded almost immediately.

Sharkboy ❤: YES I approve.

Bakugo went over to Kirishima's dorm at around 5 PM, with ice cream in arm, and knocked on the door quietly. Kirishima's face lit up once he opened the door, despite Bakugo's arrival being fully expected. Bakugo couldn't help but internally smile about this, and eventually let himself smile externally after realizing he had that (metaphorical) mask on.

After doing some casual greeting, they both went to the couch, where drinks, various chips and snacks, as well as a hefty bowl of popcorn sat waiting for them.

Kirishima let himself flop onto the couch, landing with a slight bounce. Bakugo followed suit, wrapping an arm around the other boy.

"So what do you want to watch?" Kirishima asked cheerfully.

"No preference here," Bakugo answered. "You pick something that you think I'll like. I do know you like retro superhero movies, so we can watch one of those if ya want."

Kirishima let out a small laugh. "Hehe, guilty as charged. Let's see..." he scrolled through the selection of movies with the remote, carefully considering which one his boyfriend might like. "....ooh, this is a good one!" He exclaimed as he stopped on a particular movie.

"'Deadpool'...?" Bakugo wondered aloud. "..Oh yeah, I think I've heard of this one. It's from the US, right? Wait, isn't it also supposed to be really gory and profane?"

Kirishima nodded enthusiastically. "And the main character is canonically pansexual~"

"Perfect," Bakugo grinned, with his tone and expression almost coming off as lightheartedly sinister, a light growl in his speech. Well, more growl than usual.

Kirishima selected 'play,' also making sure that subtitles were on. "Now let's start snacking before the ice cream melts!!"

Once the movie had started playing the end credits, Bakugo noticed that Kirishima had fallen asleep on his shoulder.

'Jeez, was he passed out even through the climax of that movie?' he thought. 'Must be a hell of a heavy sleeper.' He suppressed a chuckle, not wanting to wake up Kirishima. He just looked so cute when he slept...even if he was drooling and snoring lightly.

Bakugo carefully reached for the remote and turned off the movie. With a bit of effort, he gently picked up his boyfriend and took him to his bed.

After covering the redhead with a blanket, he started to walk away. Kirishima suddenly grabbed his arm. "Stay..." he sleepily commanded. Bakugo amusedly complied.

He pulled up the blankets and covered himself and Kirishima with them. Kirishima stirred, wrapping his arms around the other boy, as Bakugo did the same.
