"Hello, my love," Aeri said, grinning wildly as she burst through Bakugou's door. He looked up, unimpressed before he resumed changing clothes, abandoning his uniform shirt on the floor by his feet. Aeri closed the door and kicked off her heels before she sidled over to her boyfriend, running her hands over his chiselled torso.

"Can I put a damn shirt on now? Or are you not done droolin'?" He said in faux annoyance, but Aeri could tell with the way he was flexing that he enjoyed the attention.

"Why would you need a shirt? Why not just stay like this?" Aeri replied cheekily whilst trailing her fingers down his abs, ogling him unabashedly.

"You want me to go out in public half naked?" Bakugou raised an eyebrow, smirking.

Aeri sucked air in through her teeth. "You're right. If we go out like this, other girls will stare at you..."

"Why would girls stare at me, no one other than you has ever shown any interest...if anythin' you're the weirdo." Bakugou clicked his tongue. Aeri halted and took a step back, looking into his eyes for the first to since she entered the room.

"Katsuki, You're hot. Are you telling me you've never noticed?" Aeri said seriously. "You're literally gorgeous, and you're built like a Greek god, you can't seriously think you're not attractive."

Bakugou flushed red but said nothing. Aeri took it as a sign to continue. She moved closer to him, frowning.

"Your eyes as so pretty! And your eyelashes too, they're so long I'm actually jealous! And your hands are so big and strong and warm—"

"Stop," Bakugou said quietly, reaching out to place his hands on her waist. Aeri looked up at him, smiling slightly at his pink-dusted cheeks and his sparkling crimson eyes. "You like me that much?"

"I love you. And you're hot so I don't want other girls looking at you. Because I'm the lucky one who snatched you up first," Aeri grinned. "Which reminds me..." She paused, rushing over to her handbag. Bakugou watched as she pulled out a white rectangular box and skipped back over to him, smiling. "Got you something today after the meeting." She presented the box to him.

Bakugou took it sceptically, his eyes flicking up to meet her golden ones, which were shining excitedly. "What did I tell you about spendin' money on me?"

"It's one gift, just open it." Aeri clicked her tongue.

Bakugou took off the lid and his eyes widened at the gold chain that lay in the box, a dainty 'A' charm hanging off the end.

"Look, I got one too!" Aeri practically squealed, pulling her own shorter gold necklace out from where it lay under her shirt. Bakugou stared at his initial around her neck and felt something leap in his chest. He reached forward and touched it, the metal still warm from laying atop her collarbone.

"Put it on me." He demanded, holding the chain out towards her.

Aeri smiled and took it from him gently. "Does that mean you like it?" Aeri freed the chain from the box and undid the clasp, reaching her arms up and around his neck.

"Of course, I fuckin' like it," Bakugou said defensively, shivering when the cold metal touched his chest. "Thank you."

Aeri pulled back once the chain was safely clasped around his neck, stepping back to admire how the precious metal complimented his skin. "I knew you were a gold guy," she nodded, appreciating her own work.

"How'd you know that?"

"I snuck out of bed whilst you were napping last week and held up one of my necklaces to your face. I had nothing to compare it to because I don't wear silver jewellery, but gold looked good with your skin tone so I commissioned the necklaces and picked them up today. Is that okay or do you prefer silver? I can take it back and get you silver instead."
