Persistent [Krbk]

Short walk

Bakugous POV:

"Come on, you HAVE to try this." Kirishima brings his silver fork to my mouth, filled to the brim with tomato soup. I laugh softly before swallowing the smooth fluid down. Even taking my own spoon and taking some more from his bowl.

"Hey!! Don't take too much now." He reaches over the table to take some of my cheesy pasta which by the way, tasted like heaven.

"Yeah well your taking mine too!!" A soft smile comes across my face as he gulps the creamy pasta down, until the vibration from my phone interrupts it. Ringg~ Ringgg~ Ri-

"Hey Kats!! You've been gone for hours so I'm just calling to check in on you. Unless you guys are making out or something I expect you to reply.." Oh my daze Mina. Of course it's her. I glance at Kirishima who was clearly trying his best not to make eye contact with me after she mentioned the words "making out".

"Yeah I'm good, we're actually at a restaurant right now not f*cking making out...and I actually really like the way our date is going. Now get off my phone." I harshly whisper into my phone, shoving it back in my pocket after. It seems like he heard the part of our conversation that I specifically didn't want him to hear, because now he's looking at me with his a goofy smirk.

"..You do?" He says reaching for my hands under the table. I shift my eye contact to our combined hands then avert my gaze somewhere else, not wanting to embarrass myself more.

"Yeah I f*cking do, so what." At that moment a waitress comes to collect our plates, but stops in her tracks when she notices our joint hands under the table. When I glare at her she lets out a squeak then rushes away with her hair glowing a weird pink colour. Probably a alternative from her quirk when she gets scared.

"You didn't have to scare her like that." Kirishima says in a jokingly tone. I chuckle at his comment and change the position of our hands to put them on top of the small table.

"-and yeah I'm relieved you like our date. I was having some doubts on the way here..thinking of how to not- ruin us. This." He rubs the bruises along my knuckles.

"Well- I was worrying about this too. I won't tell you what it was about cause that's my buisness and my buisness only, but it could help you..relax." Sh*t. I'm definitely blushing right now. A comfortable silence falls between us.

"But she still didn't have to disturb us. Both her and Mina." He glances at me then shakes his head smiling.

"We should get going now, shouldn't we?" I hesitantly nod before fixing my clothes under the table and walking after him. We walk through the doors together bumping shoulders. The bears we built were in Kirishimas car, essentially with a seatbelt around their waist. I told him it was silly but when he spoke to me about how they were like children I smiled, thinking about Yumi. Then worrying about Yumi. Then calling Mina to check in on Yumi.

"Go on, ladies first." Kirishima teasingly whispered holding his car door open. I push past him, getting comfortable in the familiar surrounding.

"I'm not a chick." He rolls his eyes before heading towards the other side. My gaze falls on him as he swiftly opens the door handle with one hefty pull.

"Well, you really aren't a chick. Your a pretty man...hopefully my pretty man." My heart almost f*cking explodes right there and then. But to save my pride I kiss my teeth, giving him a blast to his arm.

"Ow!! What? Did you not like that? I thought it was nice.." I stare at him as he rants about pick up lines. Stupid pick up lines. Pick up lines so stupid they make my palms sweat and my hands sparkle for some reason.

He pulls up in front of the gate. Parking just far enough that we'd have to walk for a few minutes to even touch the gate.

"Couldn't you park closer??" I say stepping out into a puddle. It rained the whole time we ate. Lucky us.

"Why? Otherwise I wouldn't be able to walk with you some more.." I can tell the tips of my ears are a scarlet red by the way a broad smile suddenly appeared on his face. He closes the door, locking it with his keys afterwards. Where was he planning to stay?

Finally deciding to rest my hands in my pockets, I pace myself slow enough so I'm walking next to him. Staring at the street lights as we walk by.

"Why are you so fascinated by the lights..?" He commented glancing down at me.

"Nothing special. They just remind me of my quirk...Why are you asking such a irrelevant question?"

"Because I love your voice. The way you pronounce certain words weirdly. See, if it was someone else I would find it strange, but for you it's just..cute you know?" My feet stop and he looks at me with confusion. He likes my voice? No, he loves my voice. My hands sparkle in excitement and I can't help but seize the moment. We're at the gate now, and as we meet eye contact once again he gives me a lighthearted grin. Showing all his sharp teeth.

"Um! Where here now. Thank you for letting me walk you and thanks for allowing me to take you on this date. It..It's means a lot to me. You giving me a second chance and all... " He shuffles around awkwardly before I take a step closer to him. Placing my bear in my other hand and lifting my hand to place it on the side of his face.

"Shut up already Ei.." I take this chance to bring his soft face closer and connect our lips with a sweet touch. And I know that it was sappy. Even for me. But I can't help but shudder in..f*cking joy when he wraps his strong arms around my waist in response. Like the action was familiar. His lips disconnect from mine and then he says this.

"..I love you."

Sh*t.

What I want to say is that "I love you so f*cking much I can't even explain it, even though you hurt me and I'm terrified to be hurt again I'm taking the chance." The jump. But just to save my pride once again, I answer with bite.

"-I love you too or whatever." I mumble looking anywhere else but him. He closes his beefy arms around me tighter, then lets out a soft chuckle.

"Your so cute Katsuki." Then he pulls me into a long hug. Smothering me in his chest, while I just take in the warmth and manly scent of his body.

"Sappy piece of sh*t."

"And you love it."

"...I do."
