Guess who got carried away while writing this one shot? I did :>
Prepare for another longer one shot :D
Note: Adult KiriBaku
On with the one shot!
>.<
It was a normal Sunday morning, and the KiriBaku couple were out on a shopping date. Both guys had the day off, and they decided to spend the day together outside instead of staying cooped up in their home.
Of course, Kirishima was the one to suggest it, his partner only ever wanted to stay underneath their warm covers and watch some Netflix, however, he was bribed out of bed by Kirishima saying that he'll be the one paying for lunch.
"Oh! Kat, look at that!" Kirishima exclaimed as he pointed at a certain item on the shelf.
"It's you!"
Indeed it was him, the excited redhead was pointing at a limited edition Ground Zero figurine, complete with a detailed design of his winter hero costume, his gauntlets and his signature scowl. It also came with a free poster, which was signed by Ground Zero himself.
"So? You gonna start your own collection of my merch or something?" Bakugo grumbled, hands in his pockets, still regretting his decision to ever leave the house.
But free food was just so tempting.
"Nope! Why would I buy those toys when I have the real one right here with me?" Kirishima cooed and cupped Bakugo's masked face in his hands, all while puckering his lips as if he were talking to a baby.
"Sh-shut up! Let's just go and finish up here so we can eat. I'm fucking starving." He said, prying his partner's hands away from his flushed cheeks (which was thankfully hidden because of the mask) and started speed walking to a different direction.
"Oi, Katsuki! Wait up, will you?" Kirishima laughed and chased after his boyfriend.
After around 30 more minutes of walking (more like Kirishima dragging poor Katsuki everywhere), the two had finally decided to go to the food court to grab some lunch.
"And then, Denki said he wondered if he gathered all villains in the pool with him, only one sneeze could have them all dead, or at least disabled enough for the cop to catch them." Kirishima rambled as he walked hand in hand with Bakugo to the food court.
"Mmmm.."
"Then Sero cut in saying that why the hell would villains go to a pool party with a pro hero- woah." Kirishima stopped his storytelling as well as his walking when an item on display caught his eye.
Exactly what a child would do, the redhead let go of his boyfriend's hand and went closer to the store's glass walls and pushing his face up against it.
"I want it..." He quietly whispered, eyes sparkling at the item in front of him.
He was staring at, possibly the last, vintage limited edition crimson red Crimson Riot hoodie displayed on a mannequin. It had the retired hero doing his signature hands-crossed-over-chest pose in the middle of the apparel, along with his name in a comical font that matches well with the chivalrous hero. The hoodie was exactly his size, maybe even larger, and he wanted it. He wanted it so badly that it hurt him just not going in and at least checking it out.
Finally peeling his face away from the glass, he turned to Bakugo with a grin on his face.
"Kat-"
"No, Eijiro. You can't go in there and check the hoodie out."
"But whyyy?"
"Because you might end up buying it, and you already bought enough things today. Just look at all the damn stuff you bought, and you said we were only here to buy more of your damn hair products and shitty red hair dye." Bakugo exclaimed, holding up the 5 shopping bags to further prove and support his argument.
Kirishima sighed in disappointment and looked back at the item with a longing look before grabbing half the bags Bakugo had and put on a somewhat convincing smile on his face.
"Okay, fine... Let's go then, hmm? You said you're starving, and I don't like it when you're hangry. You're more explosive-y and I don't think that's a good look for pro hero Ground Zero." He smirked lightly, and started walking towards the food court, leaving Bakugo to process what he just said.
"Oi! What the fuck does that mean?!"
"Hurry up before we run out of places to sit."
>.<
At the food court, Bakugo couldn't help but notice Kirishima looking so down and unmanly.
Tch. Is he really sulking over a small thing? He thought as he stared intently at the male in front of him.
"Uhhh, Kat? Is there something on my face?"
"Yeah, you're fuckin ugly." Bakugo snorted.
Kirishima feigned hurt as he put one hand of his chest and dramatically guided the other one on his forehead while leaning his head back and closing his eyes, acting as if he was a fainting damsel in distress.
"I just came out to have a good time, but instead I feel so attacked right now." He finished his line off with wiping a fake tear from his eye.
"Quit your horrible acting, I swear you're embarrassing sometimes."
The redhead only laughed in response, lightly throwing his head back as his hands clutched his tummy, as he smiled so wide that his charming pointy teeth said hello to the world.
Bakugo only stared at the boy in front of him with a stoic expression, his eyes being the only one to express the fondness he had for his red dork. He wasn't about to get sappy, but he really loved the way the redhead could be all the time. He appreciates his stupid jokes, he appreciates that no matter how rough he will always be, Kirishima will always stay by his side.
Kirishima was his ride or die, and he sure as hell wasn't letting him go.
Going back to the topic, after Kirishima had finally stopped laughing over that small thing, he went back to eating his burger. A bit happier looking, but there was still a hint of sadness behind his smile.
Mentally rolling his eyes, Bakugo crumpled up his burger wrapper and wiped his mouth off with a napkin before standing up and shoving his hands in his pockets.
"I'm gonna take a shit, watch the stuff while I'm gone." He bluntly stated, causing the other boy to choke on his bite.
"You.. Don't have to say it out loud." Kirishima choked out in between coughs.
"See ya later, Shitty Hair. Don't go wandering off looking for free food samples." Then he left without giving Kirishima a chance to reply.
Bakugo found himself back at the store his boyfriend was so interested in earlier, staring at the same thing he wanted to get so badly. He examined the hoodie that was on display and admitted that it looked pretty cool.
Before he could regret his decision, he walked in the store and once again stared at the hoodie on the display mannequin. Before he could tell himself how much of a sap he is for the one and only Eijiro, a friendly and enthusiastic voice interrupted his incoming train of thought.
"Good afternoon, sir! Would you like to get a closer look on this one?" The female staff smiled, gesturing to the merch.
"Uhhh, yes." Bakugo replied, still shaken from the loud voice.
"Okay then, sir." She then proceeded to take the hoodie off of the mannequin, leaving it naked for the world to see, and Bakugo couldn't help but swallow down a childish chuckle at the sight.
"Here you are! The last vintage limited edition Crimson Riot hoodie."
Bakugo carefully took the piece of clothing in his hands and rubbed his fingers on the fabric, admitting that it felt pretty comfortable. He also checked the hoodie for any holes, misprints or stains because he would never admit, but he always wants the best for his Eijiro.
Without looking twice at the price tag, Bakugo handed it back to the staff lady, chest puffed up as he was lightly grinning underneath his mask.
"I'll buy this now."
"Are you sure?" The lady, whose nametag said Rachel, asked.
"Yes, now please, let's go." The male was now full on grinning, trying not to bounce lightly on the balls of his feet the more he thought about Kirishima's face when he sees what he bought.
"Okay, then. Right this way." She held her hand out to the direction of the cashier, and both of them started walking.
Upon arriving at the cashier, Rachel did her thing and flipped the hoodie inside out to see if there was anything wrong that they didn't notice before, then flipped it back again and then checked the hoodie strings to make sure nothing was fraying before finally taking the price tag and scanning it.
"Okay, sir.." She paused and tapped a few more things on the screen. "Your total will be 5,200.20 yen." She concluded and started bagging the item.
Bakugo fished out his wallet and pulled out a few bills and counted them, hoping that he had enough money to pay for it. He soon realized that he was 100 yen short from the total he had to pay.
"Shit..." Cursing to himself, he patted down his jacket and shoved his hands in every pocket he had on his outfit, he even went as far as to check his shoes to see if there was any loose change.
Unfortunately, there wasn't any.
"Fuck." He cursed again, frustration building up at the thought of him not being able to get that one thing for Kirishima.
"Uhhh, sir? Is everything alright?" Rachel interrupted, her eyebrows lightly furrowed as she noticed the change of mood of her special customer.
"Everything is fantastic. Cancel the damn thing, I don't have enough money." Bakugo grumbled, and defeatedly walked towards the exit, trying to shove his money back in his wallet.
"I.. I could pay the remaining amount, Ground Zero." She grinned, happy at the thought that maybe she could help her favorite pro hero.
"You know me?" The hero asked in bewilderment, eyes wide in shock.
"I mean, spiky blonde hair like that doesn't go unnoticed. You might need to wear a cap next time you go out." She replied, still trying to keep her cool.
"Oh.."
"Mhmm! Better improve your disguise next time, sir. Anyway, the offer is still on the table, I would love to pay the rest if it means helping you."
Normally Bakugo would've scowled at the thought of people helping him, however this time, he couldn't help but feel grateful at the offer.
"If you insist."
"It's settled, then." Rachel clapped her hands and pulled out 100 yen from her uniform pocket, at the same time receiving the money that Bakugo held out.
She recounted the money to see if it was the right amount, and proceeded to press a few buttons on the cash register.
"I assume this is for Red Riot?" She smirked, eyes not leaving the computer in front of her, but she knows she hit a spot.
"Hell yeah, it is! Got a problem with that?"
"Oh no, not at all, sir. I just think it's sweet that you're doing this for him." She then printed out the receipt and signed it. She then dropped it in the bag where the hoodie was in, and held it out for Bakugo to take.
"Yeah.. I mean, he does a lot of things for me, might as well return the favor or something." The blonde blushed lightly, taking the bag and once again checking inside if he actually bought the thing.
"I am wishing the both of you long years of happiness, Ground Zero."
"Thank you."
"No problem, anyway, thank you for shopping here! Please come again soon, preferably with Red Riot. We have more Crimson Riot themed items I'm sure he would love."
They bid goodbye and Bakugo had switched back to his stoic demeanor, embarrassment finally sinking in as he realized what happened inside that store.
"Damn it, was I really that fucking desperate to accept money from a complete stranger,?!" he mumbled to himself as he let out a long groan while lightly knocking on his head.
"At least she wasn't that bad."
A few more steps later, he finally arrived at the food court and made his way over to the table he left Kirishima on, only to find that he made a battlefield with their trash and a few pieces of toothpicks.
"Sarge, I don't think we're gonna make it- Everybody take cover!" Kirishima whisper-shouted as he proceeded to move the toothpicks around, imitating an explosion with his voice, followed by series of gun noises.
"Oi." Bakugo interrupted, amused but not surprised at what the redhead did to entertain himself.
"Katsuki!" Kirishima jolted, quickly dropping the toothpicks he was holding before proceeding to nonchalantly put his elbow on the table, and resting his chin at the palm of his hand as if he wasn't just playing like child two seconds ago.
"I hope you had a good shit-"
"Here." Was all Bakugo said before throwing the bag at Kirishima's face.
"Ow! What the heck, man- Oh, pretty bag." Kirishima stared in awe at the simple yet pretty logo on the paper bag, momentarily forgetting that his partner quite literally threw it in his face.
"Tch. Open it." The spiky blonde ordered, sitting down on his seat across from Eijiro.
"What, why? But we're in the food court, can't it wait until we got home-"
"Just open it."
"Okay then." Kirishima mumbled and proceeded to open the bag, ripping off the staples that sealed the bag shut.
Once he had managed to get all of the staples off with the help of his quirk, he opened the bag and his eyes widened at what was inside.
"NO WAY!" He gasped loudly, earning a few stares and shushes from the other mall goers.
"Sorry.." He apologized lightly and went back to staring at the hoodie that was in the bag.
"What're you waiting for? I didn't buy it just so it could stay in the fucking bag."
The overjoyed Kirishima looked at Katsuki with a wide grin on his face, his body nearly vibrating in excitement. Bakugo could only turn his head away to prevent Eijiro seeing the blush on his face.
Eijiro fished the clothing out of the bag and held it up so that he could take a good look at it, realizing that this merch was finally his. He put it down and hurriedly took off the hoodie he was previously wearing, and slipped the Crimson Riot one on.
"It fits perfect!" He whisper-shouted as he stood up from his seat to do a small spin, feeling safe and happy.
He again turned to Bakugo, who was already staring at him with such endearment that it made Kirishima want to kiss him then and there, but he couldn't since they were in public. However, he did lunge himself at Bakugo, wrapping his arms around his neck and squeezing it tight, hoping that Katsuki would feel the gratefulness and love radiating off of him.
"Thank you..." He whispered into his ear and placed a chaste kiss on his cheek before hugging him tightly once again.
Bakugo didn't reply, but instead wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's waist and squeezing it just as tight. Feeling proud that he got this reaction just by buying a single piece of clothing.
"I love you."
"Love you too."
>.<
