I walk into Mina's basement already hazed with smoke, practically carrying Bakugo, he'd practically turned into a cat and Mina's house was rain as soon as it came into sight.
  "Oh hey Kirishima, a knock would have been nice, I could have been having sex."
  "It's not your normal appointment day."
  "True enough, what do ya need?"
I lift the practically limp Bakugo, "Consolation."
  "That I can do, but you're bunking in the spare bed if your staying the night."
  "Understood." I set the blonde down on a large bean bag, then take the one next to him. Sero, and Kaminari are splayed on the couch, Sero in dangerous territory if Kaminari laughed and crushed his head between his thighs. But knowing Sero, he'd probably enjoy going out that way. Mina lounges halfway on Tetsu who I hadn't realized she was so close to. 
  Mina quickly rolls a blunt then sparks it passing to Tetsu who doesn't puff, just hands it off to Kaminari. I eye him, he gulps,
  "I guess you're wondering why I'm here?"
  "Well yeah you aren't one of Mina's regulars,"
  He hikes his shoulders up, a bit of red on his cheeks, "I wanted to apologize,"
  "Apologize? For what?"
  "For letting Monoma put yours and Bakugo's clothes in the jock strap pile."
  I look at Bakugo, "You had a problem with that too?"
  Bakugo looks at me wide eyed, "Yep," he gruffs, looking back down.
  "Yeah, I didn't want to come here to apologize but Mina insisted it was the only way to reach you outside of practice."
  "Yeah, have you told Kendo?"
  "Huh? No, YOU told Kendo."
  "Oh that's right?"
  "You don't remember?"
  "Honestly, no not in the slightest."
  Tetsutetsu looks at me in disbelief, "Yeah you and Bakugo went up to Kendo close to when the season started." My head starts to hurt,
  "I-I really can't remember?" I look at Bakugo, "Do you remember?"
  He looks at me, then sighs, "Yeah, back when we were dating."
  "WHAT?!" God that was loud, I shoot up out of my seat, "You were dating me?!" I slap my hand to my chest, "me?!"
  "Yes you, we dated, then you lost your memories." Bakugo meets my eyes, his sad.
  "WHAT THE FUCK?!" My foot starts tapping on the ground rapidly, "Why didn't you tell me?" I look at the people on the couch, "Why did no one tell me?"
  "They said it was just a concussion, that your memories would fill in, or you wouldn't notice." Mina explains, "The Doctors said not to tell you for some reason."
I look at Bakugo, "So, were those all dates?"
  His eyes sparkle within his angry expression, "Hell no! Why would I try to date you if you went and forgot all about us?"
  "Cause I'd want you to?" I pull my jacket tighter around my shoulders, avoiding his stare.
  "Fine then, if you want them to be dates so bad-"
  "That's not-"
  "Then I guess we're dating." His face is red, mine is probably worse. I plop down onto the bean bag. Sero passes the blunt to me, I puff then pass to Bakugo. Who walks over to Tetsu and shoves it in his face. "Partake Fuckface." He walks back as Tetsu cautiously takes a puff. Bakugo plops next to me, more relaxed than I've seen him all day,
  "So, were you crying over, me?"
  "Don't ask questions you already know the answer to."
  I tap on the side of my bean bag, "Can we hold hands?" Bakugo scoffs, but I feel his hand snatch mine as I try to put it in my pocket. I smile, I don't think I have to remember everything to know I wanted to hold onto this.

"Hey Kiri!" I look at Mina, "last game of the season tonight right?"
  "Yeah! You coming?"
  "Of course, Testu and Kendo won't shut up about it." I shut my locker, which now has a picture of Bakugo on the back panel. "I'm coming to support you too dick."
I grin, "Of course you are."
  Mina rolls her eyes at me before giving my shoulder a shove, "I am also a cheerleader jackass." I spot Bakugo shouldering his way down the hallway, the students flooding around him. He spots me, a grin coming to his face, his hand comes up to his side and I receive a tiny wave. "And just like that I've lost you, see ya at the game."
  "You too Mina!" I trot down the hallway meeting Bakugo in the space between the lockers, there's just enough room for us to be able to avoid the swarm of students escaping for the day.
  "Hey, you've been reviewing the plays with Deku right?"
  "Yep! Got all the new ones down pat."
  "Good, and thanks for the idea of changing the plays, now no one will be able to tell what we're doing, even if they've seen our training tapes."
  "Yeah I can't believe I got that Idea from the longest yard."
  "You're a dumbass." He chuckles,
  "I'm your Dumbass." I get and eye roll and a peck on the forehead before Bakugo steps back into the crowd,
  "See ya at the game My Sweet Shitty Hair."
  "Fuck you bed head!" I retort, and watch him laugh as he walks away.

It's always the last play, the last play is interesting, needed, often the high point of the game, down by three, ten seconds left, thirty yard line. I'm shoved out onto the field, to replace the exhausted other running back. Bakugo is having a heated conversation with the rest of the team.
  "Coach wants us to go for a field goal, head into overtime."
  "No way we can win this now." Monoma huffs, face red and sweaty from having to go head to head with the other schools resident speedster all game.
  "But can we really risk it?" Tetsu chimes,
  "They still have half their offense out, it shouldn't be too hard to get past them as long as we don't drop the ball, we should be fine." Deku reasons,
  "But that speedy guy is a major thorn in our side and he's still out there, he's been out all game." Todoroki bites,
  "Monoma and he, are both probably tired by now, if all I have to do is catch the ball we can just win this game." I join, I get looks from the team. "What I can catch the ball."
Ojiro puts his hand on my shoulder,
  "You really think your luck'll hold out Kirishima?" Bakugo questions,
  "Look if you all don't think I can catch it let's to a double hand off behind line. Ojiro can you hand it off to me?"
  "Yeah, of course,"
  "Midoriya, can you snatch the ball from Bakugo?"
  "Yeah and get away as fast a possible."
  "Once you get past that defense line your main job will be to keep them off Eijiro's ass got it Deku?"
  "Wait your actually thinking of doing this?" Some freshman pipes,
  "Well yeah, this'll be fun," Bakugo growls,
  "Yeah I'll keep them away from Kirishima, he just has to get through the defense."
  I grin, "Oh I can do that."

Whistles scream,
  "Break over!"
We line up, I try to stay steady, breathing slowly, the defense is looking at me square in the eye.
  "Kirishima!" I look at Bakugo, he mouths something,
  What?
Is he trying to commit suicide?
"Okay!" I yell, now I was shaking, I was not ready for this play,
  "Ten!" I tense, "HUT." I shove my defense to the ground and split back, Midoriya, to Ojiro, I book it to the center, ball to me, and back to Bakugo. And I sprint, down the field as fast as I can, I look back,
  "Eijiro!" Bakugo screams, the defense closing in, "I LOVE YOU!" Then he's down, but not before the ball comes hurtling down to me. It hit me in the chest, and I wrap my arms around it, see the defense change course and I'm still.
  Oh fuck,
They were close, I turn tail to the inzone, Midoriya keeps pace with me screaming, the crowd is screaming, and I remember, all of it, Shigoraki, Ochako, Overhaul, Eri, and, Bakugo. Oh god I remember Bakugo. I'm hit hard from behind, but I don't care if I made it. I hustle back up and sprint back down the field, he's up, he looks at the score then at me.
  "Bakugo, Katsuki!" I can see him gasp, then he's running too, my legs pumps as fast as they can go but the split second moment takes forever. He slams into me,
  "TOUCHDOWN!" I kiss him, both of us panting as the crowd roars flooding the field.
  "So," he questions,
  "Yeah, I remember,"
  I've never seen him smile so large, but it changes into a cocky smirk. "You do?"
  "Yeah, I believe so."
He leans down to my ear, "Then you remember us talking about how if we won this game, no one would notice if we went back to your car."
  "Oh,"
  "You're still parked in that dark corner cause it's free right?"
  I'm already standing, holding out a hand to Bakugo. "I picked up on what you were saying from the smirk, let's go." He takes my hand. "I love you too," I pull him to my chest, and kiss him on the cheek.
  We scurry through the crowd, avoiding teammates and receiving hard slaps on the back. We pause for a moment when we reach the darkness of the closed snack bar.
  "You know, you said embarrassment makes you faster, but you paused like a deer in the headlights back there."
  "What do I have to be embarrassed about?"
  "Eh?"
  "You saying you love me isn't something a man would get embarrassed about." His eyes meet mine,
  "I'll bend ya over right here don't tempt me."
I laugh.
  "I'm glad I know how I fell in love with you twice,"
  He smiles,
  "I'd fall for you a thousand times Eijiro."
  "You need a grater for all that cheese."
  "I'll make you regret saying that."

The End.
