Beyond The Blast (Bkdk)

Navigating Normaly

The revelation of their relationship becomes the new normal for Midoriya and Bakugo. They navigate the halls of U.A. High hand-in-hand, the whispers and curious glances now replaced with playful grins and knowing nudges. Mina, self-proclaimed "support squad leader," bombards them with relentless questions about their "first kiss" and "relationship goals," much to Bakugo's annoyance and Midoriya's blushing embarrassment.

Despite the adjustment, there's a newfound ease between them. They share knowing glances during lessons, steal quick kisses in between training exercises, and enjoy a quiet comfort in each other's presence. However, navigating a normal relationship proves trickier than fighting a villain. 

A simple date at a cafe turns into an explosive spectacle when Bakugo, annoyed by the slow service, threatens to set off a controlled explosion to "speed things up." Midoriya, with a mixture of exasperation and amusement, defuses the situation before any real damage is done. Their first attempt at movie night ends with Bakugo falling asleep halfway through, with his head resting on Midoriya's shoulder. Despite the lack of focus on the actual movie, Midoriya finds himself cherishing the moment, a small smile playing on his lips.

One evening, as they stand on the rooftop watching the sunset paint the sky in fiery hues, Bakugo breaks the comfortable silence. "Hey, Deku," he starts hesitantly, "about this whole... relationship thing..."
Midoriya turns his gaze towards Bakugo, anticipation stirring within him.
"It's not what I thought it would be," Bakugo continues, avoiding Midoriya's eyes. "It's... more." Midoriya reaches out and takes Bakugo's hand, his fingers intertwining with Bakugo's. "More in a good way, I hope?"

Bakugo hesitates for a moment, then a flicker of a smile crosses his face. "Yeah," he admits, a blush creeping across his cheeks. "In a damn good way, Deku." Their training sessions become a challenge of another kind. Their competitive spirits often clash, their playful banter escalating into mini-explosions and bursts of One for All.

Thankfully, their newfound understanding allows them to laugh at their mishaps and work together even when their quirks clash.One particularly chaotic training session culminates in Bakugo accidentally setting Midoriya's hair on fire (a small controlled explosion gone slightly wrong).

The sight of Midoriya, his hair smoking and a bewildered expression on his face, sends a surge of panic through Bakugo.
He quickly extinguishes the flames with a well-aimed water blast, his gruff apology barely audible over his pounding heart.

The incident, though alarming, strengthens their bond. It serves as a reminder of their reliance on each other, not just as heroes-in-training, but as partners in life.As they walk back to the dorms that evening, the setting sun casting a warm glow on their faces, they share a comfortable silence.

"Thanks, Kacchan," Midoriya finally says, his voice filled with gratitude.
Bakugo grunts in response, a hint of warmth in his eyes. He may never be the one to express affection openly, but his actions speak volumes. Their relationship might be unconventional, filled with playful spats and controlled explosions, but for Midoriya and Bakugo, it's perfect. They are learning to navigate the uncharted territory of love, their bond growing stronger with each challenge they face, side-by-side.
