No Strings Attached

The Performance

"Nothing you say in the next three minutes or in the next three lifetimes is going to make me stop loving you." He said with a gentle smile as he released his hand, using it to cup his face.

"Y-you love me?" Midoriya questioned as his vision became cloudy with his own tears.

"Yes idiot. I love you." Bakugo replied with a small blush as he leaned his forehead on the mans across from him. Midoriya's heart was beating incredibly fast when he heard those words escape the blondes lips.

"I love you too Kaachan." Midoriya whispered as he pulled his head back, attempting to wipe the tears rolling down his cheeks. He never made it very far because in a matter of seconds, Bakugo had pulled him close before connecting their lips. The blonde settled one hand on the freckled face as the other one rested on his waist. Midoriya's heart skipped a beat as his legs grew weak. Sure they had kissed before, but not like this. This kiss was filled with passionate love, not hungry lust. Midoriya moved his one hand to lay on top of the blondes and opted for settling the other one on his hip. The freckled man melted into the kiss as he became over stimulated by the smell of caramel. He forgot how soft the blondes lips were, and how good they had really tasted. He was about to get addicted all over again.

"Yo, it's about time!" A voice yelled from beside them, causing them to pull apart in both surprise and sadness. They just wanted to be alone for a little bit longer.

"Thanks for ruining the perfectly good moment Shitty Hair." Bakugo groaned as he trailed his hand from Midoriya's face down his arm, and into his hand.

"We had too, they're asking all participants to step onto the stage to announce the final score." He replied as he nervously scratched the back of his head. The duo turned their heads to see students walking on stage from the other side.

"Let's go then." The blonde said aloud as he pulled Midoriya on stage, their hands still entangled. They were asked to take a seat on the floor until their name was called. When their names were called, they were to grab their scoring sheets from Mic before heading off the stage. They sat there for roughly thirty minutes before there were only five people left sitting on stage.

"In fifth place, Denki Kaminari." The crowd applauded as he made his way to Mic to collect his papers before walking off the stage. He knew he wasn't going to win, especially after watching Bakugo and Midoriya's performances.

"In fourth place, Mashirao Ojiro." Once again, the crowd applauded as he made his way towards Mic before heading off the stage. Mic waited until Ojiro was in the audience before continuing.

"Third place Eijiro Kirishima!" He said with a wide grin. The red head was definitely another kid who was going to make it far. Bakugo watched his best friend make his way to the audience with a smile. There were only two people left sitting on the stage. Either one of them could have received the highest marks, it could come down to a coin toss.

"Second place, Katsuki Bakugo!" The blonde stood from his position on the floor, dropping Midoriya's hand on the way. He wasn't upset that he didn't win, not in the slightest. He walked over to Mic to grab his results as his classmates cheered loudly for him.

"Good job kid." The teacher congratulated his student. Bakugo just smirked before making his way towards the audience to join his family.

"You did great Katsuki." His father beamed as he sat down between his mom and Inko once more.

"I'm sorry you didn't win." Mitsuki added. She was happy for Izuku, but the fiery blonde was her son after all.

"But I did win mom." He said with a soft smile as he set his scoring sheets down in his lap before giving the green haired man his undivided attention.
