Approaching the last stop, the bus stopped slowly. Bakugou took Nijirou's hand and led him out of the bus deftly, thanking the bus driver along the way.
Holding hands while walking under the pink-red sunset, Nijirou felt more relaxed than ever. The increasingly cold breeze however, made him shiver twice,
"Ah it's going to be winter soon...", he murmured.
"Yeah..", Bakugou nodded as he shook their hands. Glancing at their shadows elongating in front of them, and both of them being enveloped in the serene light of sunset, his usual dislike for winter disappeared,
'-it'll be cold so I can always put his hand in my pocket without feeling awkward...or use my quirk lightly to warm him up...', when he remembered the other's always cold body temperature, he felt that his thoughts made even more sense.
Glancing at him from the corner of his eye, he frowned slightly, "We should buy new jackets, you can't do with that thin jacket always."
Nijirou laughed awkwardly when he felt Bakugou's accusing gaze,
"Ok....then let's buy one when returning back."
"Mhmm", Bakugou nodded and smiled with satisfaction, squeezing the other's hand. Gazing secretly at him once again, he found the other staring into the distance.
Following his gaze, he found a cozily decorated dessert shop in the middle of the road, 'Ah he might be hungry...', Bakugou made a decision in a second and stepped forward,
"Let's go."
"Eh?", by the time Nijirou reacted, they were already entering the cafe, the wind chime ringing melodiously as Bakugou pushed the door open easily,
"Eat something and then we'll go back", he said lightly.
Seeing the low lighting and silent but comforting atmosphere inside, both of them were pleased. The cafe seemed like it was surrounded by flowers, a faint refreshing fragrance lingering in the air.
Bakugou saw Nijirou's soft smile and knew his decision was right. Leading the other towards the counter he rubbed his hair,
"Choose something and we'll share."
"Ah ok", Nijirou was excited when he saw the rows of desserts in front of him, his eyes shining, '...wahh I wanna eat all!'
Bakugou knew he liked sweets so he let him explore the shop before placing the order naturally.
Taking the lemon cake and their hot cups of cocoa without giving Nijirou a chance to help, Bakugou sat down at a seat near the window comfortably.
Nijirou could only helplessly follow and sit opposite to him. Bakugou smiled when he saw him sit obediently,
"Stretch out your hands."
Seeing the other tilt his head but still follow him, Bakugou pulled him closer and started rolling his long sleeves nicely.
'Ah-', the figure in front of Nijirou was shrouded in a warm glow, his expression soft and gentle. He was a bit startled at first, but seeing the other's careful movements, he grew dazed,
'-he's so handsome...'
His cheeks grew crimson as his thoughts derailed further, his eyes shifting downwards to avoid eye contact. The other's sincere expression was too much for him to handle.
When Bakugou was done, he rubbed Nijirou's head, not noticing his flustered expression. He passed the cake to him and slid the coffee to his own side, slowly mixing it to make it colder.
"Click!", he was still feeling the steam on his face when the sudden sound made him look up, locking eyes with the guilty person.
Nijirou hurriedly lowered his phone and pretended to be nonchalant, picking up his own coffee to take a sip.
But before he could do so, Bakugou grabbed his hand, making him put the mug down on the table,
"Don't drink it yet, its too hot", he said with furrowed brows, "Your mouth will burn..."
Then his lips curled, "And that photo...you won't show me?"
Nijirou was shocked, before his expression twisted into a pout, 'I can't even take a photo?',
"You're teasing me."
"Ahahahaha", Bakugou couldn't control his laughter, bursting into loud chuckles.
Nijirou was still sulking, forking up some cake and putting it in his mouth angrily,
"And still laughing too..."
"Ahem", Bakugou controlled himself in time and coughed to stifle his laugh,
"Ok then I won't ask you to delete it, but-"
"But?", Nijirou's eyes perked up.
"-but you have to let me take pictures of you too", he said in a mater-of-fact like tone.
Nijirou didn't find anything wrong with that, "Ok~"
"Eh?", the other didn't seem to think he would agree so quickly,
"Really?"
"Yeah", Nijirou's eyes were still on the cake, 'Its just a picture anyway', he thought before putting another spoonful into his mouth.
'It's so delicious...', his eyes narrowed in pleasure.
"Click!", the sound rang out again, making him raise his eyes curiously. Seeing Bakugou smirking at the picture, he decided to ignore the other, 'The dessert's more important~'
Sipping the hot coffee with the other, Bakugou enjoyed the peaceful ambience while chatting occasionally with the other. Their comfortable silence was interrupted once in a while by the melodious sound of the wind chime, a subtle and pastel-like atmosphere lingering.
Strolling across the streets of an unfamiliar town after a while, with their stomachs happy, they wandered through various stalls.
Seeing that they still had some time before curfew, Bakugou dragged Nijirou into a nearby shop selling jackets,
"Come on we gotta buy~", his voice was filled with concealed excitement.
"Ok...", Nijirou followed him helplessly, 'Sometimes he acts like my nee-san...'
Entering the stall, they saw jackets in every color and design, making them a bit dazzled,
"There's so many...", Nijirou murmured.
His voice bought Bakugou back to his senses. Smirking he started picking out various designs and helping Nijirou try them on,
"Hmm this is good but a bit plain..."
"This's too dark..."
"Too thin."
"Too complicated..."
The comments ringing out made Nijirou dizzy. Looking at Bakugou's happy face though, he exhaled a breath, 'He's enjoying this...'
It was unexpected because the other didn't seem like a person who would like shopping, of all things.
Seeing him pick out a furry-looking white jacket again, he sighed before stretching out his hands obediently.
"Now this...", Bakugou paused and looked closer. Seeing that it came with a hood, he smiled lightly as he helped him put in on,
"See hoodies are important too-", his words abruptly stopped.
Noticing the words end suddenly, Nijirou raised his head to take a peek at the other, 'Ah....why's he red all of a sudden??'
Bakugou only saw the dark hair being covered by the soft hood, accentuating the other's long bangs which fell delicately on his eyes, 'It had bunny ears...', seeing the cute ears peeping out, his heart skipped a beat.
Nijirou himself didn't know that he had been unconsciously pouting from a while back, combined with the fuzzy jacket, he looked like a spoiled bunny complaining silently.
Bakugou couldn't control himself, his ears being dyed a red color instantly; spreading to his cheeks slowly. Not knowing where to put his hands, he grew more flustered and finally buried himself in the other's shoulder.
Tightening his hands around the other's waist, he nuzzled against the soft fur of the jacket, 'My heart's gonna burst at this rate...'
Nijirou was confused at his movements, not understanding why he was suddenly taken into an embrace. But feeling the warmth where their bodies touched, he didn't want to pull away.
Rubbing against the other with hazily-closed eyes, he said in a low voice, "Bakugou-kun?"
His voice seemed to make the other wake up, Bakugou coughed awkwardly,
"...it was suddenly cold", he tried to defend himself.
"Ohhh..", Nijirou pretended to accept his excuse, chuckling teasingly.
Bakugou was embarrassed now; letting go of the other, he led him to the counter while mumbling incoherently,
"-we're buying this one", he avoided eye contact all along the way.
Seeing him already paying, Nijirou stopped him hurriedly,
"Wait we've got to buy one for you too!"
"Ah? For me?", Bakugou finally looked at him again.
"Yeah of course", Nijirou pointed at the white jacket they were about to buy,
"Two of these please", he said the stall's owner.
"What??", Bakugou was surprised, "No way I'm wearing that!!", remembering the bunny ears he was even more reluctant.
"Eh?", looking at his embarrassed expression Nijirou understood, 'Its probably too cute for his taste..'
Glancing through the stall again, his gaze stopped at another white jacket. This one was quite normal, with no designs or a hood.
Picking it simply, he showed it to Bakugou, "What about this then?"
Bakugou saw the jacket he held out and was a bit surprised, "White again?", he'd never worn bright colors much, let alone white.
"Yes, then we'll be matching", Nijirou replied naturally, curling his lips.
His words made Bakugou pause, "Oh...", the refusal on the tip of his tongue was swallowed instantly.
He put his hand around Nijirou's shoulder and nodded as he passed the jacket to the counter,
"Ok", he said while smiling slightly.
Walking back to the bus stop while carrying an extra bag with them, the mood was joyful.
Bakugou was still talking when he saw the bus pull up before them,
'What the hell?? Why's it so packed all of a sudden?!'
He remembered how it was so empty when they boarded it before, not believing the amount of people in it now.
Glancing at Nijirou, he knew from his hesitating expression that he was feeling the same.
Sighing, he pulled the other with him, 'Not like we have a choice anyway...', the increasingly darker sky reminded him of how late it was.
The bus was actually more crowded than it looked, barely finding place to stand, he was squeezed in the middle. Managing to grab onto some support, he glanced at Nijirou struggling for support and immediately held him.
"Hold onto me", he said while frowning to find some other support for him.
The bus starting suddenly didn't allow him to do that though; so he hurriedly grabbed the other and pulled them close.
Feeling the other's body stick to his own, Bakugou's expression was subtle, 'Too close...', the fact that he didn't find it repulsing was even more of a novel experience.
Nijirou was pulled close, his head landing on the other's shoulder in haste. Not being able to pull away, he could only lean on it shyly.
'Wah he smells so nice...', there was a sweet, almost minty scent emanating from Bakugou's body. It was his natural scent, making Nijirou feel more embarrassed,
'It smells so refreshing-', glancing at him from the corner of the eye, he saw the other's serious expression as he held onto the support for both of them, '-and he's always so handsome too...'
His thoughts made him blush instantly, his grip on the bag tightening. He was suddenly glad about their current position, '...at least he can't see me right now.'
When he finally calmed down, he sighed and held onto Bakugou to stabilize himself.
Bakugou felt the other's smooth skin rubbing against his, making him feel a little shy,
"Lets quickly get back for dinner..", he whispered.
"Yeah", Nijirou chuckled softly, his soft breath tickling Bakugou's ears again.
Bakugou smiled at the sensation, his eyes drifting towards the window, gazing at the purple-glowing streets again, his mood was calm and content, '...it's like living in the present', and enjoying the small moments of happiness that came along with it.
'Definitely doing this again...', he thought to himself.
--------------------------------------------
Climbing through the fence again, they sneaked inside the dorm easily.
Blending into the students preparing for dinner, Nijirou sighed with relief, 'I can't believe we didn't get caught...'
His eyes locked with Bakugou's at this moment. Seeing the other sending him secret signals and smiling while mouthing success, his lips instantly curled up.
"Ehehe", he laughed and pretended to hi-five him through the air.
Bakugou smiled to himself when he remembered this smile as he climbed up the stairs to put the bag in his room, their secret but exciting trip ending in high spirits.
