Iida doesn't even bother to say anything. Besides, he can't really tag us for PDA. If he does I will probably light him on fire.

The blond boy in front of me turns his attention away from the door Uraraka just exited through, and stares deeply into my eyes. "So?"

"You wanted to confess to.. me?"

Bakugou raises an eyebrow and glances to the side, "Is it really that hard to believe."

"I'm probably dreaming but it's whatever," I mumble out with a sigh.

A feel a hard pinch of the side of my arm. "Yeah, and I kiss you in your dreams?"

"You don't want to know that answer," I sigh and give him a slanted look.

"Ok, come on," he practically growls at me and takes my wrist into his hand.

The sensation of our skin touching sends sparks through my body. It's so.. surreal.

"Bags," I remind him with a sort of knowing look.

The blond rolls his eyes and goes to his bag as I head to mine.

We meet back at the classroom door, and we leave together before anyone gets a word in. The bell is scheduled to ring soon anyway.

The expression on Bakugou's face is one twisted with satisfaction. "Proud?" I smile to him with a teasing tone.

"Whatever," he scoffs, turning the corner with a sort of aggressiveness.

He heads into the restroom near the exit. I should question it but I don't. Instead I follow him inside.

The tension is heavy in the air and I cringe. Who knows what comes next.

Bakugou looks me in the eyes, "So."

"So."

"How do you feel?"

I sigh and look to the ground, "Honestly.. incredible."

"Tch," he rolls his eyes, "you know how freaked out I was."

"You?" I raise an eyebrow. "Surprising."

"Not really," the blond in front of me sighs. He seems to stare off in thought for a moment, "You know what I did back there.."

He trails off but I continue for him, "Can we do it again?"

Bakugou's eyes widen and he blushes, "W-when?"

"Right now," I suggest, ignoring the burning on my own face.

A moment passes and then he walks closer to me, the gap between seems to close in slow motion. My heartbeat speeds up within my veins.

When he places his lips onto mine I'm teleported. The space I find myself in is calming, reassuring. It makes me feel safe.

Not the type of feeling I get when I'm around my family, and especially not my Dad. It's the complete opposite.

I only notice how long we've been stuck to each other when I pull back gasping for air.

"Mmm," Bakugou whispers, "that was.. intense." His eyes flicker up to mine, "You alright?"

"It's too soon," I sigh, "it's too soon, but damn it!" My teeth are gritted as I look deep into his eyes, "Is this what love feels like?"

"Todo," he sighs and pulls me into a hug. His muscular arms wrapping around my waist gives me a feeling of security. My brain almost misses the fact he called me by my real name.

The blond takes my hand into his and opens the door, "Let's go to my dorm."

-

Bakugou lifts his hand to my cheek, and I bring my mine up to lie overtop it. "You're bringing out the worst in me," I exhale tiredly.

"You bet," Katsuki smirks.

For a moment we sit in comfortable silence, just enjoying our togetherness.

Then my train of thought crashes and starts burning with all my self hatred.

"My mind is riddled with insecurities," I trail off and lean into his hand.

"You're incredible, half and half bastard," the boy in front of me smiles softly, running his thumb aimlessly along my cheek.

My cheeks burn with that new familiar sensation, "Look at who's talking."

He growls lowly moving his head to my neck, "Don't say that unless you want this."

"I do," I swallow harshly while biting my lip.

"Mm," Katsuki hums lightly as he trails kiss down my neck.

"Does this mean," I move my arms around his neck, gasping slightly when he bites down, "ah, that w-we are?"

"Wanna be my boyfriend or some shit like that?" He asks casually between each new hickey he leaves.

"Hell yes."
