Bakugou pov
I was practically shaking as I headed towards the mall. I made my way through the car park, terrified out my mind of what could happen. I had decided to come at 5:50, just to be a bit early. As I came into view of the entrance of the mall, I noticed a cute red-haired guy wearing pink and black standing nervously; Eijirou. My body was subtly shaking, each step I took made my anxiety rise. I stared at Red, admiring his outfit. He had never worn anything really like that before, but it made him look amazing. I started planning everything in my head as I made my way closer. Then, he noticed me. I kind of felt like I had lost my safety blanket because now he was studying me as well. I could begin to make out his face, he looked sad and almost embarrassed. My whole being wanted to run over and hug him, to finally take in his everything. We were then close enough to speak. "Umm, hey Katsuki." Said Red solemnly. I felt my adrenaline kick in as I ran over and embraced him in a hug. My arms wrapped around his torso, I finally felt his warmth again. He, after the shock of the embrace, held me back. Despite all this, I could still feel the uncertainty in the air.
"Are you alright?" I asked, backing up from the hug. He nodded with a soft smile, until he suddenly remembered something.
"Look, Kat. I'm so, so, so sorry for what I did." His voice was so tame and quiet. I started walking, signalling with my hand for him to join me as we entered the shopping centre. This was really happening. We were going to talk about the kiss. My whole body itched at the thought; I wasn't the best at sharing my sensitive side. Obviously the silence was eating away at Eijirou as he said; "If you don't want to be friends anymore, I- I understand." The hurt in his voice killed me.
"Shut the fuck up Red." I was slightly angry, at what I didn't know.
"Sorry?" Asked Eijirou; He was being polite but I could tell he was scared.
"Don't- don't apologise for what you did." I found it so difficult to say them words, but I could already feel the mood shift. Both of us were then nervous for different reasons. "You kissed me Red, so why are you- why are you so sad?" I was directly looking at him now as we walked. I couldn't believe I was doing this.
"But I thought- I thought you may have hated it." Eijirou struggled to get his words out.
"Well don't assume what I do and don't like." I said plainly. I was trying to avoid saying my true feelings, that was unfair on Red. "Look, when you kissed me, I was, obviously surprised. But," I swallowed all my self-doubt. "I liked the kiss, in fact, I wish it didn't end so soon."
"So-so, you're saying-?" He stumbled.
"I like you, Eijirou Kirishima." Then I waited with my heart on my sleeve. His face then turned the same shade of pink as, I'm guessing, mine. The seriousness on his face melted away into a pure smile, a smile I had missed so much.
"I like you too Katsuki Bakugou." After he uttered those words, my whole body felt like it had been turned to goo. My legs felt weak. We had finally admitted to each other our feelings, and that was all I needed to hear. I grabbed him by his jumper and pulled him into me. I planted my lips onto his. This time I wasn't ridged or awkward as I allowed my mouth to move in time with his. I was holding onto his face and he held my waist. Such a simple, yet powerful moment that made me feel incredible. I had never felt more like a hero when I was kissing Red. There weren't that many people in the mall, but I couldn't give a shit anyway. This was my moment with the boy I liked, and it was something we got to share together. I then pulled away slowly and looked at his beautiful face; he stared back at me. Nothing stopped me as I quickly leaned forward and planted one last kiss on his incredible lips. "Wow Kat, you really are full of surprises." Red laughed, even that alone gave me butterflies.
"Hair-for-brains." I said, grinning. "Now, maybe we should get something to eat. So we can talk about, us, or whatever."
