THIS is what i imagine real dreaming is like.
this kind of floating and the entirety of my body buzzing.
my back is against his chest as we stare out into the night sky. the souls being obscured by the brilliant fireworks that fly up and sparkle as they explode, reminiscent of shooting souls that dart across the sky.
time feels like it's completely stopped and my stomach is knotted with nerves.
i've never been kissed by someone before.
too scared to get too close.
even thinking about it sets my skin ablaze, i grip onto the silver cuffs in hopes they haven't cracked from the heat.
my fingers begin to fidget as they pull and crack on each other. his hand is suddenly enveloped in my own, pulling them away from each other.
"there's nothing to be nervous about." he remembered. my cheeks flush from remembering such a minute thing, something i told him so long ago.
"it's just," i pause as i wait for the firework to explode before continuing. "it's just that i've never done anything like this before."
i feel embarrassed at the words that fall from my mouth, waiting for his laugh to follow the words. but they never come. i barely hear him such in a sharp breath, but can feel the way his body stiffens behind me. when i turn to look at him, he's staring out at the sky avoiding my gaze.
"well i haven't either so shut up!" he yells, still not looking at me. i don't know if it was the soft glow of the pink firework or if it really was the flushing of his cheeks. i can't help but let a small laugh slip past my lips.
"THE HELL YOU LAUGHIN AT? DON'T LAUGH AT ME FREAK!" i'm fully turned to face him now, the smile aching my cheeks when he finally looks down at me.
"i guess that means we'll have to figure it out together then bakugou!" i watch as his eyes soften, bringing a hand to scratch at the back of his head.
"it's katsuki to you." my eyes widen as my cheeks heat. i'm not sure why it feels so different, it doesn't feel the same way it did when eiji told me to call him by his first name.
this feels much different.
i swallow before responding with a nod.
"well it's only fair that you call me by mine too," i say nervously as my voice cracks slightly. i watch his throat bob as he blinks down at me, his face being illuminated by the different colors of fireworks shooting off behind me.
"konomi."
"katsuki."

we stay in the classroom until the fireworks show is over, basking in this new atmosphere between us. i'm not sure what to expect but it's reassuring knowing that the both of us are going to figure it out together.
