Kirishima's POV

I had gone to bed earlier than Bakugou and Kaminari the night before. I couldn't control the amount of emotion I was feeling. "I have to tell him now" I told myself last night.

But that didn't happen. And throughout today as we hiked, I was pretty silent. "Now or never. Now or never." I had to confess. If I didn't do it now, who knows what would happen- like someone dating Bakugou before I have the chance, or possibly even me losing feelings for him.

We had to set up camp early as the snow storm showed signs of getting worse. Bakugou and I started the fire, although I got worried as to whether or not it would last. The four of us surrounded the fire, shivering and cooking hot dogs. Sero and Kaminari got up.

"We're gonna go around for a walk. We won't be too long, otherwise we might get lost." Kaminari said out loud while stretching. Sero joined him in stretching. I gave a thumbs up. "Make sure to grab firewood too, dumbasses. The least you can do for us making sure you don't starve." Bakugou yelled out as they ran laughing for whatever reason.

But even 4 minutes after they left, I just couldn't find the words. I bit into my hot dog and stared at the fire. I was feeling too nervous about the situation but I had to do it.

"Shitty Hair. Ye okay?" I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Bakugou with a slight hint of worry in his face. The fire lit up the best of his features- his dark red eyes, his jawline, his ash blonde hair that had snowflakes in it, and the slight hint of red on his cheeks. His beauty just made me more nervous and I nodded while biting my lip.

"Yea! Yea, I'm okay. But I really need to get something off my chest." I began, my heart pounding faster than before. I swallowed. "Yesterday, I, uh. Yesterday, the reason I reacted the way I did was because I've been having nightmares. And it didn't help that yesterday kinda brought those nightmares into reality." I looked at the fire once again. "I always feared letting my friends getting hurt while I watched and did nothing. That's why yesterday, when that robot came behind you, I reacted the way I did. And I know it's dumb, you probably would've noticed it anyways. But..." I stopped, then continued.

"You're special to me. Ever since the sports festival last year, we had such a good friendship. But then I realized that friendship was deep when you got taken by the League of Villains. It hurt when I heard you got taken. So much. I.. I wanted to yell. I wanted to cry. I wanted to punch something. It hurt." I knew this was getting outta track, so I went back to what it was supposed to be. "When I got you back.. I was happy. I'd gotten my friend back." I looked back at him, a smile playing on my lips.

"But recently, I realized something." I swallowed again. My nervousness level peaked almost to its highest. "Ohmigod I'm bad at these things..." I laughed nervously. "Just spit it out, Kiri." I heard Bakugou say. I looked at him and nervously yelled "ILIKEYOUBAKUGOU".

Bakugou's POV

I looked at Kirishima. His face was as red as his hair, or at least judging so from the small amount of light we had.

"ILIKEYOUBAKUGOU"

"Say that again but slower." I replied. I was pretty sure I knew what I heard but I wanted to confirm. My heart was beating fast, waiting anxiously for the response.

"Well... I said I like.. but I'm pretty sure it's deeper than that." He replied, his face looking up at the sky. "Whenever I look at you, I can't help but think of the future. Working alongside you, helping you through your hard times, get... getting married with you, hell if you wanted possibly even having kids with you!" His face deepened in color at the kids part. "Kiri.." it felt wrong to say his last name given the situation, but oh well. "Kiri we're only 17."

He nodded. "I know. But my point is. I know it's deeper than just a crush. Every time I look at you, I just fall deeper. I'm- oh this might sound cheesy pleaseforgiveme- I love you, Bakugou." He looked at me. "Fuck he's beautiful" I thought as I looked into his eyes. My heart was pounding faster than what was probably humanly possible.

I looked back at my memories. It all made sense now. All this time that I worried he only saw me as a friend, he was seeing me the complete opposite. And, oh fucking boy, it's possible I might even love him. I laughed to myself silently, closing my eyes.

"Umm.." he nervously said, but then I cut him off. "I.. I'm laughing, not at you though dumbass." I got out of my small laugh fit. My face heated as I looked at him. He looked so... adorable (?) when he was flustered. "I never realized I'd feel the same way for you." I replied.

I looked up at him. His face and neck area were all deep red, and he covered his mouth with his right hand. He choked out. "Wa- wait are you being for real?!" Kirishima let out nervously. Oh fuck. Now even I felt a nervous fit. "Yes! You can't just confess then get shocked when your crush feels the same!" I nervously yelled.

We stared at each other for a minute, then laughed. We both laughed together. I scoot closer to him. After our laughing fit ended, Kiri let out a sigh. "I never realized you felt the same way for me." He looked into my eyes once again. "Well get used to it, cause I'm not going anywhere." His eyes widened then it was clear that he caught another nervous fit. "I, um, one more thing." He said.

"What now?" I asked. He continued to look into my eyes. He was leaning closer. But then I noticed his eyes look down to my lips and back to my eyes. "Oh fuck" I realized. I knew what he wanted. I leaned in as well and closed my eyes.

I felt our lips press together as I grabbed both his hands. He froze at first then leaned into the kiss as well, deepening it.

It was around 30 seconds before I pulled back. "Let's not do that for too long, I don't want the two dumbasses knowing yet." I sighed. Kiri nodded. "Be nice!" He squeaked our before clearing his throat. "I.. wow. Your lips are so soft." He looked at the fire as his cheeks turned more into a pink color. I rolled my eyes. "Fuckin course it is. I never expected you to be a deep kisser." I replied. He was gonna reply when...

Footsteps.

The fuckers were coming back.

Thank fuck they didn't overhear our conversation as they ran laughing.

"Oh man that was fun!" Kaminari chuckled as he threw his pile of sticks down. "Yea! Oh man that tree was so tall! You two should've come!" Sero replied before looking at us. "You two okay? Seem a bit flushed?" He asked. "Yeah! Tell us about the tree climbing!" Kiri changed the conversation quickly. Thank fuck.

I thought about what had just happened over and over. I was so lucky.
