As the crowd settled back in, the stage was prepared for the next couple of songs. Bakugo actually looked slightly nervous, fiddling with his jacket and shirt. Kirishima ruffled his red hair, smiling widely, "Ready guys?"

"Almost done," Iida laughed, "We've been doing so good, let's make these the best songs yet."

Denki handed Kirishima his acoustic guitar, "You guys got this!"

Kirishima smiled at Bakugo, who smiled back. Kirishima was once again on that bench, the lights were turned off to not spoil the surprise, the two sitting on the bench, Kirishima's arm thrown over Bakugo's shoulder, Bakugo leaning on him while looking at his phone, the guitar on the side of the bench.

"James..." Kirishima sighed, "I need to tell you something."

Bakugo looked up, pushing his glasses further up his nose, "What's up babe?"

Kirishima reached over to grab his guitar, Bakugo rolling his eyes. Kirishima started strumming his guitar, smiling at Bakugo as he sang, "I met you in the dark, You lit me up. You made me feel as though I was enough. We danced the night away, We drank too much. I held your hair back when You were throwing up." Bakugo smacked Kirishima's leg, making him laugh as he kept singing, the love coming from the two completely immersing the crowd.

"Then you smiled over your shoulder, For a minute I was stone-cold sober. I pulled you closer to my chest, And you asked me to stay over. I said, I already told you, I think that you should get some rest,"

"I knew I loved you then, But you'd never know. 'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go. I knew I needed you, But I never showed. But I wanna stay with you Until we're grey and old. Just say you won't let go, Just say you won't let go," Kirishima's vocals echoed across the crowd, people humming along with him.

"I wake you up with some Breakfast in bed. I'll bring you coffee With a kiss on your head. And I'll take the kids to school, Wave them goodbye. And I'll thank my lucky stars For that night."

"When you looked over your shoulder," The crowd started to clap along, "For a minute I forget that I'm older, I wanna dance with you right now, oh. And you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that every day you get better. You make me feel this way somehow,"

Kirishima stood up, the crowd whistling as he did, "I'm so in love with you, And I hope you know. Darling, your love is more than worth its weight in gold. We've come so far, my dear, Look how we've grown. And I wanna stay with you Until we're grey and old. Just say you won't let go, Just say you won't let go."

Kirishima put the guitar behind his back, taking Bakugo's hands and holding them close, "I wanna live with you, Even when we're ghosts. 'Cause you were always there for me When I needed you most." Kirishima said that line a little thickly, Bakugo realizing that Kirishima meant that, every last word. Bakugo felt his cheeks flare up.

"I'm gonna love you 'til My lungs give out. I promise 'til death we part, Like in our vows. So I wrote this song for you, Now everybody knows. That it's just you and me Until we're grey and old. Just say you won't let go, Just say you won't let go, Just say you won't let go."

"Oh, just say you won't let go," Kirishima took a step back, getting down on one knee and the crowd SCREAMED. Bakugo had to hold back everything to not turn around and tell them to shut up.

Kirishima laughed, pulling out the box from his jacket, "James, will you marry me?"

"Of course I would." Bakugo laughed, even though it felt forced.

Then the true event started, the lights fully turned on, Kirishima was on his feet instantly and the entire class spilled out, setting up chairs and music instruments, throwing Bakugo and Kirishima behind the curtains to change quickly while the place was set up. It revealed an altar and an entire church set up. Denki had a wine glass as he took center stage, wearing a rumpled black suit. Ashido did as well, except with a phone instead of a glass.
