Since his hearing became worse over the course of the last few years, it had been difficult keeping up with his school friends, since none of them could really communicate with him, yes, he could read lips if he really tried and concentrated and if the person was careful to speak rather clearly and a little slower but, when young adults got together, no one was going to slow down their speech, especially after a few drinks, so get togethers with his friends became, as time went on and his hearing became to a point where even hearing aids weren't much useful anymore, less and less. There was no one left to communicate with, thus… when you transferred agency and he met you, and you were able to understand sign language, a lot has changed.

So, right now, he shouldn’t even be wondering why he was so nervous, it was just so clear to him even though he hated to admit it, but, he just fell in love; at first, simply being happy that he could have full on conversations with someone, and as time progressed and you became partners for missions and… even friends outside of work, he slowly but surely couldn’t help but falling in deep – and fuck, it didn’t help that it was the first time he felt like this, so he was just completely clueless on how to act and what to do with those feelings.

Looking away from the ocean, Katsuki turned his head to look at you, the moon illuminating your face and making you look even more stunning than before almost taking his breath away as he took in everything once more, not even able to count how often he had dreamed of you, or imagined your face when he was lying alone at home, your gorgeous (e/c) eyes seemed to reflect the moon and the sea as he wanted to drown in them, however, as soon as you turned your head to look at him too, his face flushed. “What?”, you simply snickered, before he quickly averted your eyes and looked away, “Nothing…”, he slurred, not caring if his speech wasn’t clear right now.

How was he able to confess? Or more, how was he able to deal with you not accepting his confession? As if you would love someone like him, your family was already deaf, as if you wanted your boyfriend to be deaf too – you deserved someone better.

It was silent again as you had turned back to look at the ocean once more, Katsuki’s head also slowly turning back, his cheeks still a little red as he bit onto his bottom lip, nibbling on it as his mind and heart was racing. There were a lot of thoughts running through his head, imagining how it would be if you would date, how it would feel to lie in your arms, to kiss you or… more…

The mere thought made him suddenly yell, the explosions coming from his hands making you press your hands against your ears as you leaned back a little, completely surprised and eyes wide open. “Fuck…”, you barely breathed as your heart was jumping, because he had scared you like this and when he realized himself what he had done, he quickly looked at you as well, the surprised look on your face only making him blush a little more. >Dude… you scared the living shit out of me.<, your vigorous hand movements only intensifying the redness on his cheeks and neck as he turned away a little, “Sorry.”

Glancing back a little, you had turned to look at the ocean again, his heart rate increasing once more as he thought about doing it – what could go wrong? Oh, maybe that you found him gross? Or, that you never wanted to talk to him again? Or, just… losing you as a friend. But, he was never someone to hold back for too long, he was Bakugou fucking Katsuki, there was nothing he couldn’t do, so a little confession seriously shouldn’t kick his ass like this, right? Right! He was determined to stop those never-ending nights of “what if” and dreaming about you in a more than ‘just friends’ way, at one point he just had to stop that, it just wasn’t good for his heart.

And then, in this warm summer night, Katsuki finally dared to reach out his hand; letting his little and ring finger touch your own hand as he grabbed your own little finger, instantly having you turn your head as he stared stubbornly straight ahead and onto the sea, however, the way he was blushing so many shades of red, it was hard not to see. But, when he felt you withdrawing your hand, it was like someone punched him against his chest, leaving him breathless as his heart dropped into the pit of his stomach – so that was your answer…

At the end, though, you were a teasing shit, surprising him even more when you suddenly grabbed his sweaty hand and laced your fingers together, this time, his own head turning so quickly, only to be confronted with your beautiful smile and that sparkle in your eyes – and he was only able to scowl, not knowing which face to make as he was so happy and embarrassed at the same time.

Though, you weren't done, earning a small yelp from him as you pulled him closer so he was falling against you, his head resting against your arm and your face way too close, it almost made his heart jump out, but in the end, as you leaned in, he slowly closed his crimson eyes, drowning in your scent and the little bit of lingering smell of the alcohol you two drank, only to experience an explosion like feeling in his chest when your soft lips finally met his own.

The movement against his lips soft and gentle, never rushed or hard, yet, he couldn’t even think straight, this one little kiss blowing his mind on a level he had never experienced before. It didn’t even take long until you broke away again, however, it still took his breath away and when you looked at him, his face was finally relaxed, the typical scowl gone as there was only a small smile left that made your heart jump. He wasn’t drunk, neither was you, yet… you had kissed him, everything he wanted, how often he stared at you lips, just to make the excuse he was trying to get better at lip reading, when in reality, he just wanted to taste them, and now, he finally did.

“I… Fuck… I love you.”, he had to clear his throat, almost not able to speak, only to let his feelings out at last, because even if he was absolutely clueless when it came to relationships, he knew one thing for sure – he loved you, he really did. And when you signed an >I love you< back, word for word, it was like there were gross butterflies in his stomach, seriously, how did he become so soft?

In the end, he couldn’t think about it further as you had grabbed his legs and put them over your lap so he was very closely pressed against your side, his heart thumping so wildly when you leaned in once more, this time, leaning in as well, before another firework seemed to set off inside his chest.

Maybe, he wasn’t able to hear the beautiful sounds of the sea that would have made this even more of a dream-like atmosphere, but he didn’t need to, just being by your side like this, feeling your warmth and your soft lips, was enough. Though, when you deepened the kiss, for a second, he didn’t know what to do and before he could do anything, your teeth clashed and he had to pull back and as if he wasn’t already red enough, by now, he literally felt like steam was coming off of his head. “Sorry, I’m… fuck. I’m a shitty kisser.”, he tried hiding his face with his free hand, you however could only laugh a little as you gently pushed it away and pressed a soft kiss to his lips again. >Let’s practice then!<, the way you smirked didn’t help with the embarrassment he felt, however, he didn’t even realize he was nodding almost immediately, and in the end, when your lips met again, he didn’t care as he slowly dared to rest his arm around your neck while you refused to let go of his sweaty hand, showing him in the most self-indulgent way how to kiss properly.

Honestly, he didn’t care if he was going to sit on those stairs in front of a shrine the whole night through, because for the first time in what felt like forever, he was happy again, after losing his sense of hearing, Katsuki was even less open and ready to date, so all of this, was very new, however, he was also very excited to finally learn all of this with someone he trusted and didn’t give a fuck that he couldn’t hear shit, or that he had a tendency to talk very loudly – you just accepted and loved him, and fuck… that felt fucking great!
