In More Ways Than One - Kiribaku

BONUS - Christmas (B)

Note: this is the christmas AFTER bakugo and kirishima kissed on new years so there's no confusion so yeah, and they're dating now (:

I woke up to the sound of dreaded christmas music as it was Christmas, "Kirishima..turn that shit down.." I groaned, stuffing my face into the pillow. Kirishima giggles and hops over to me, shaking my shoulder,

"C'mon! It's Christmas, you should be happy and festive! I am not letting you slip into depression because of some holiday." He pouted, ruffling up my hair. I try to push his hand away but he keeps giggling. I love this idiot.

"What's the point anyway?" I grumble, finally turning over to him, "I'm not a happy and festive person, I didn't even participate in Secret Santa this year." He hums and shakes his head,

"But that doesn't mean you can't celebrate, silly." He grins, placing his palms on my cheek. His red eyes gloss over my sleepy and big pupils, "Don't be such a Scrooge." He stands up fully, taking his hands away from my face. I grit,

"I am not." I defend, definitely sounding like one though. Kirishima chuckles and nods,

"Mhmm," He adjusts the radio volume down as commercials start playing, "Just like you say you're not a hothead when it comes to losing a challenge." He looks to me, holding a warm cup in his hands. I must have that bitter look on my face as he comes back over because he giving me a small 'sorry' smile. He slides the cup into my palms and kisses my forehead, "Please promise me you'll join us." he whispers, running his thumb over my hair as his eyes connect with mine. Our lips so close together that it feels like I'm kissing him. I clear my throat and sigh,

"Fine," I let out as his smile widens. He kisses me quickly on the lips and then starts heading to the door,

"I'll meet you downstairs." He calls , slipping out of the door. I smile a bit and sip the coffee as I get up from the bed. I sigh and smooth out of my hair again. I looked out the window toward the white and bright snow that covered the grow, it was really beautiful. I head out the door as well, hearing the sound of jolly laughter and chatter. I really didn't like any holiday except for Halloween, it was a blessing and a curse, "Yeah, he's really not in the mood this year but I made him come." Kirishima's voice is loud and clear down the stairs. I can hear Yayorozu's and Ashido's small laughter.

"You sure did," Ashido comments as I make my way down. I sip the coffee carefully as I scan everyone still in their pjs. Kirishima looks over his shoulder to see me and he grins as our eyes slowly meet. I blink back and make my way over as Kirishima kisses me on the cheek. I rub at it,

"That's like the third one this morning, what's up with you?" I question as he keeps smiling like a doof,

"You know why." He crosses his arms as I raise my eyebrow like he was serious.

"Does Christmas mean this much to you?" I asked like it was the dumbest question. Kirishima gave me a sweet smile and put a arm around my waist keep me close,

"It really does, can't you just enjoy it?" His eyes pleaded. I turned away from Yayorozu and Ashido to look him in the eye,

"Kirishima, I-"

"Please." His voice is hushed, he wants me to trust him, trust him that this year will be fun and that I'll be happy. He knows the whole thing about how I hate how happy and cheerful the holidays are but he's still pushing this on me, "I've got a gift for you and everything, I just want you to be happy. Try not to think about all of those horrible christmas's and-" He picks up my hand that not holding the warm cup, in his two hands and presses a kiss to it to make me smile. I do and my cheeks flash with a bit of pink, "Trust me."

"I trust you." I admit as his eyes fill with happiness. He sighs,

"You don't know how long I've been waiting to hear that," He chuckles breathlessly. I nod and sip from the cup again,

"Now, about that present.." I trail along with his sentence. He laugh turns into a small snort which makes me almost choke on my coffee. He composes himself and shakes his head,

"You're hopeless sometimes," I gape my mouth, faking how offended I was. He giggles and lets go of my hand, "As for your present, yes.." He pulls something out of his pocket and hands it to me as he takes my coffee. I glare at him before opening the small box,

"You better not drink it all." I challenged. he grins,

"Since when would I do that?" He jokes, sipping just a bit. I go back to the box and pull the top off, showcasing a small bracelet. I lift my eyebrow and take the bracelet from inside the box as I place the it on the ground. I study it in my hands, going over the small carvings and pictures. The small icons that were there was a small chibi of me and Kirishima, a few hearts and a small-medium sized picture of me and Kirishima posing at Disneyland. The smile slowly showed up on my lips, it felt there was tears in my eyes but I couldn't tell,

"Kirishima, this is-- this is beautiful." I admit, looking up at him. He grins back, kinda surprised,

"Really? I wasn't sure if it was too tacky or not, Yayorozu helped make it and-" I take my cup out of his hands and set the bracelet in the box. He seems scared that I somehow made him stop talking by taking the stuff. He was about to continue another thought before I pulled him into hug. I dug my face in the crook of his neck as he brings his arms around my waist,

"I fucking love it." I assure him as he starts smiling again. He sighs and embraces me more until pulling away and locking our fingers together,

"I'm just glad you like it at all," He chuckles, picking it back up and wrap it around my left wrist. I look up at him, right in his glossy eyes. God, he was such an idiot, he was my idiot.

"Merry Christmas, Kirishima." I whisper as his eyes meet mine. His lips quiver into a smile as his squeezes my hands,

"Merry Christmas, Bakugo." He whispers back, connecting our lips together.
