Someone Else's Hero (KiriBaku)

Day 31: New Years Eve

After spending the past days wallowing in sadness, Bakugou was finally ready to leave his dorm. Today, he was going to try his best to put on a mask and try to move on. He knew if he ever needed to leave, his classmates would understand. Just knowing all of his friends would be there, he knew he was most likely was going to be okay. It was New Year's Eve, after all, he needed to enjoy it with his friends.

Bakugou yawned softly, opening his eyes. His eyes instantly looked up, the image in front of him bringing a smile to his face. The boy who he loved, was holding him tightly in his arms. Soft breaths left him as he slept peacefully. Bakugou just continued to smile, tons of thoughts flying through his head. As he was thinking, he accidentally said one of them out loud.

"Eijirou...I'm so lucky that you chose me...I love you."

When the words left his mouth, the blonde felt his face heat up. He normally never said anything like that, but he guessed he was just in a sappy mood. But when he was in a sappy mood, there was no stopping him. Bakugou pushed himself up enough just to be able to press a soft kiss to his fiance's lips, smiling into it. That woke the redhead instantly, his face already tinted pink.

"Well, g-good morning to you too Katsuki." Kirishima returned the kiss, making the blonde giggle. Every morning was peaceful and calm, no matter what happened the previous day. Bakugou thanked Kirishima for that as he sat up, snaking his way out of his lover's arms. Pouting, Kirishima looked up at the blonde. At first, the blonde was set on getting up, but after seeing Kirishima's cute little pout, he changed his mind. Flopping back down on the bed, the redhead was quick to scoop the blonde up in his arms.

"It's okay if we relax a little bit this morning. You need it, especially since we'll be at that party tonight. About that...I just wanted to let you know if you're ever in a position where you feel upset or anything bad, come to find me. If it gets bad enough, it's totally okay if we leave. I understand things are hard, and if we need to leave, we will. Don't be ashamed, alright? Everyone will understand." Kirishima muttered into Bakugou's messy hair, his voice taking on a softness the blonde hasn't heard before. Bakugou just nodded, smiling a little. He knew he could leave if something bad happened, but he kept telling himself he needed to move on.

"Yea...I know. I really wanna try and f-fucking move on though...I'll try my best to push through. Just make sure not to l-leave me too long." Bakugou whispered, his face slightly red. A small giggle left the redheads mouth, making the blonde smile.

"Don't worry, I won't leave you Katsuki." Kirishima affirmed. Bakugou smiled, sinking into the redheads embrace a little more. There the pair lay, just enjoying each others presence until they had to get ready for the party later.

The late morning and afternoon passed by quickly, the two boys now finding themselves getting ready side by side. Kirishima was in the process of doing his hair when Bakugou asked a question.

"Should I wear my ring? Are we allowed to tell everyone we're engaged?"

At first, Kirishima really didn't know how to respond. He had completely forgotten about the fact that they had to tell everyone that they are engaged. Like...ACTUALLY engaged.

"If you're comfortable with it. It's all up to you, Katsuki." Kirishima answered, making the blonde smile. Bakugou left the bathroom for a few moments, running over the nightstand and picking up his ring. Face as red as his hair, Kirishima finished doing his hair and joined his fiance.

"You picked out such a nice ring Eijirou," Bakugou muttered as the redhead walked up behind him, snaking his arms around the blonde's waist. Kirishima only nodded, placing a kiss on his lovers ear before letting go of him to put his shoes on. The blonde followed, and the pair was out the door moments later.
