i don't date extras (kiribakukami)

Confidence boost

Denki had fallen asleep in a fuzzy soft dream, but of course the nightmares had come, because they were mostly fueled by his anxiety... And well, he was kind of anxious about being intruding in these two's relationship, 'we want you here' was a shitty argument, even more knowing (from past conversations with the squad) Bakugo wasn't poly and Kirishima liked liked him and... Eijiro had felt too happy to understand what had happened that he had forgotten Denki was more or less at the same point he was yesterday. For the electric hero, this was a train wreck waiting to happen. He started mumbling in dreams, shaking a little, and then the nightmare stopped, the shadows went away and he felt calm. It was so shocking, like a deus ex machina had just happened in his nightmare, he woke up, startled. Katsuki was hugging him and he was making comforting noises. Denki noticed his blush and his jaw drop and felt the explosive blonde's hand caressing his shoulder.
"Shh, it was just a nightmare", hearing him was even Worse (well, better-worse, you know). WHAT WAS THAT?
"I'm fine, it was just a nightmare".
"Then back to sleep, Sparkplug", he KNEW he was talking to him?! Denki decided he was dreaming. He had just dreamt that. Yeah, that was the only possible explanation. That dream he wouldn't mind having more often.

He woke up again when he noticed Bakugo was shifting in bed. His brain took that as a sign to wake up too. Blasty, still half asleep, took his arm away from Denki, then gave him a good morning kiss in the neck. Kaminari froze in place, goosebumps in every inch of his body, he looked at him with his eyes wide open. Katsuki realized what he had done at that point and tried to cover his blushed face while stretching and sitting in bed, his back towards him. Denki didn't say anything, still blown away by the Pomeranian being actively cute and tender instead of just looking secretly cute and tender. He had never thought about him as someone cute until some days ago, but now it was undeniable and he was definitely a fan. He watched him prepare to go for a run, frowning a lot, intently not looking at him. Yeah, he sure had mistaken him for Kiri and that was why he had kissed him, that was the only possible explanation. Bakugo left the room without saying a single word. Kaminari turned to look at Kirishima. He decided if that kiss wasn't meant for him, Bakugo couldn't be mad at him for passing it along to the redhead. He awkwardly got closer to Kirishima, a hand on his face to turn it the other way, and kissed his cheek softly, feeling as happy as dumb. Eijiro moaned pleasantly and smiled. For sleeping like a rock, even with noise around him, and not even moving during the night, he sure was sensitive to being kissed... Kirishima stretched in bed, smiling first and looking at him second.
"Oh, it is you!", he laughed happily before hugging him tight, with the biggest and warmest of smiles. Denki felt small and shocked, then laughed back, his face turning as red as the boy's hair.
"Yes, it's me! Did you forget I was here?"
"Of course not, I just wasn't expecting you to kiss me good morning, I could definitely get used to that", none of them could stop smiling, Kiri still not letting him go of his tight hug. Then he looked at the blonde's eyes and kissed him. In the lips. It was just a peck, but it was still a kiss, in the lips. Panic tried to breathe under all of his happiness.
"Bakugo...", and there was that formality again.
"I'll kiss him good morning later on", Eijiro smiled reassuringly. "Is not like I will run out of kisses before breakfast or anything". Denki's panic got covered by a longer kiss, he smiled even wider.

Kirishima had his arm over Bakugo's shoulders while he was talking about today's practice. They didn't tend to touch each other in public much, but Kirishima just felt like it. Katsuki didn't seem to care, he was not participating in the conversation much, he was there, he intervened to say his usual mean things about the rest of the students, but he wasn't there there. He was looking at Denki. He tried not to make it obvious, but Kirishima noticed, and he just couldn't wait for them to be alone. Katsuki had noticed Kaminari was specially electric today, he was faster in training, he looked more confident, he had done his best practice ever and his smile was contagious. He looked gorgeous today. Katsuki clicked his tongue at himself for thinking that last part, but he was just so magnetic right now, you wanted to be around him. Everybody was congratulating him. Sero was hugging him and messing with his hair. He felt a jolt of jealousy and looked at the dark haired hero, getting annoyed by the second. He wanted to blast him away from Pikachu. Pikachu who had just looked straight at him, who had just seen his deadly stare towards his friend. Denki winked in his direction, too happy to even bother thinking what was that about, bet Boom Boom Boy was mad because he had been the star today. Bakugo was caught completely off guard, his face blushing immediately and he turned away, leaving all of them there.
"Fucking extras, it's not that fucking impressive", he grunted while he went away.
"Don't be jealous, Blasty. I can teach you to be as cool as me", Denki teased.
"You have nothing to teach me, you fucking Dunce Face", he stared at him murderously, his chin up, looking at him directly for the first time since the second their eyes had met in bed this morning. He saw Denki's stare become brattier. He hold onto it, onto that smugness, to avoid the intrusive thoughts of how he would erase that smug face with his lips if they were alone. Kaminari's eyes went down and up his body to his face again, clearly hinting a sexual thought back... and a second later he started to look like his dumb self again, acting like nothing had just happened, like Bakugo hadn't been able to read a pretty sexual answer on his eyes. Bakugo grunted and blasted at Deku's side while he was going away, just because, causing the surprised boy to hide behind Uraraka. Kirishima smiled, watching his boyfriend go away and having seen the exchange between those two. So cute. So manly. So great.
