They had set it all up, camera facing them. Kirishima didn't know where to look at first, it felt immediately natural to stare at himself in the viewfinder rather than the actual camera itself. Bakugou quickly guided him but it was still an active effort.

"Okay... how are we supposed to start this?" Kirishima asked, very clearly nibbling on the inside of his cheek.

Bakugou rolled his eyes, still stood up and ready to hit the record button.

"First of all, you fucking smile. The more bothered we obviously are by this the more drama it causes."

Kirishima nodded, releasing a breath as he tried to shake the frown he was sporting away.

Bakugou pressed record and sat back down, sharing a quick and relieving kiss with Kirishima.

"To cut to the chase, some dickhead at Deku's party filmed us and put it on twitter. It got around. So we're here to say that this is us and fuck you." Bakugou opened, flipping off the camera with a condescending smile.

Kirishima quickly cut in, putting his hand over Bakugou's raised one and slowly lowering it.

"What he meant to say is that this is kinda sudden for us and we weren't really ready for it, so we're just as shocked as any of you guys. Probably more so since it's our faces and names, after all."

"Don't harass or stalk us if you see us in public. Just ask for a picture or a signature or something, don't fucking follow us anywhere or ask any invading questions."

"That includes family, too! We're all still people, so please keep that in mind. It's kinda scary to think about since we've seen what's happened to some other people with platforms like ours."

They were pretty obvious things, the two were only asking for basic respect. What more could they do after acknowledging it?

"So yeah, that's it. Don't be an asshole and you'll be fine." There was a silence in the air for a second, neither of them really knowing what else needed to be said. It was clearly a situation they weren't prepared for. "And don't make fun of my name, either! I know it's weird."

That made Kirishima laugh, practically already able to see the comments that Bakugou was talking about.

Bakugou reached up and stopped the camera from recording, sighing back into the chair afterwards, sneezing a couple of times. Because of this he'd almost forgotten he was sick.

"If only they could hear how cute your sneezes are." Kirishima teased while throwing his arm around the other's shoulder, causing Bakugou to shove him away with a 'tch'.

"This shouldn't take long to edit. You wanna get it up ASAP?" Bakugou asked, moving closer to the computer to start uploading the footage into his files.

Kirishima agreed, moving to rest his head on Bakugou's shoulder.

They agreed to put it on Bakugou's channel since he had more subscribers so objectively more reach, but it wouldn't have mattered much either way.

"There's gonna be a lot of change from now on, huh?" He asked, clenching his fists in his lap.

If this had all happened at their own pace, which it would have eventually, it would essentially be fine. They'd be ready for the change. But now they wouldn't be able to leave the house without fear of some sort of attention on them.

Just then, Bakugou's phone started vibrating, a call from Midoriya coming in. He debated answering it for a second, but picked up after an encouraging gesture from Kirishima.

"Hey, Kacchan! I've heard the news, and I-"

"Shut the fuck up. The quicker we move on from this the better. We're putting up a video soon so it'll all be out there anyway. Best we can do is own it."

"I agree! Thanks for that tweet you made too, really put me at ease a bit! I know you and Kirishima probably want a bit of time right now, but we think we know who uploaded that video."

Bakugou rolled his eyes. It was obvious enough anyway.

"Yeah? Well I do too. It's not gonna fuckin' change anything and I'll only-"

"Wait, you do‽" Kirishima chipped in from the side.

They hadn't talked about that yet, hadn't really had the time to, Kirishima had barely even put a second of thought to it in the initial panic.

"You don't?" Bakugou forgot that Kirishima didn't really know anyone at that party barring him and Kaminari. It wasn't super surprising at all that he didn't have an immediate suspect in mind. Bakugou went back to talking to Midoriya. "If I see him again I'll fucking kill him, but there's too much going on to even try and think of that right now."

"Oh- I see. Well, I hope this goes well for you two. You've got this."

"We know."

At that, the phone was hung up and Bakugou let out a huge sigh as he started slipping in his chair.

"Are you doing okay?" Kirishima asked, refraining from asking directly who did it.

"The worst of it is done so probably. Let's just get this done and uploaded then we can fucking sleep."

Kirishima nodded, flinching at the way Bakugou's stomach suddenly tumbled.

"Food first?" Kirishima asked as Bakugou was already heading to the kitchen.

Yo!! It's been a loooong while for this one. I have a strange reaction to things when they get a lot of attention and because I know a lot of people will see this, it's a weird nervous response to ignore it. I don't know if that made any sense, but I'm gonna try my best to get over that and get this done now!!

This story is like my baby and all the positive comments are really, really appreciated. Thank you. I'm gonna go through and do a heavy edit at some point.
