Hallelujah it's my first week of Christmas break! Got almost a full month of relaxing at home with my family! I haven't been writing much lately so I may put this on hold for a bit, but this is exactly why I planned ahead and I have some chapters ahead so I can keep up with my schedule. Hope I can get back into it soon, love you all!

Happy Holidays!

"Hey! What are you guys doing here?"

Bakugou whipped around to see the stupid electric kid walking towards them, with Sero and Mineta following behind. "None of your damn business!"

Everyone ignored him and Kirishima answered more politely, "We were just hanging out. What are you doing here?"

Bakugou punched him hard in the shoulder and hissed under his breath, "Your neck, my back...remember, Spikey Schmuck!?"

Kirishima gave him a panicked 'O' face as he realized what he was talking about, and how this is exactly what Bakugou warned him was going to happen. But Kirishima had to hide his worried expression as he looked back to his friends, who were steadily getting closer with every step.

Mineta said, "Same for us. Turns out there's not a whole lot to do this weekend, at least not with all the girls gone."

The way he talked about it struck Kirishima as kind of ironic, making it sound like it was a universal fact that girls were the center of the universe. Of course, he was the only one there that had no idea he and Bakugou were together and so he wouldn't have thought much of it. Who knew how Mineta felt about homosexuality, and Kirishima did not feel like he cared to find out anytime soon. And maybe Kaminari and Sero had forgotten all about it themselves and there wouldn't be any incident or awkwardness at all.

His dreams shattered as Mineta seemed to almost teleport to his side and pointed at his hickeys with awe as he exclaimed, "Are these what I think they are!?" His eyes shone as he continued, "A token of an intimate moment granted by the lips of a divine goddess, perhaps!? You must tell us what happened!"

Bakugou had been afraid of this. He felt like he was going to boil over with rage, or maybe even embarrassment as he yelled, "SHUT UP FRUIT FUCK!"

But that only drew Mineta's attention to him and the curious idiot raced over to see the scratches on his back before anyone had time to react. "Doth mine eyes deceive me!? You possess an even greater treasure! An angel in the throws of passion! A divine beauty from one of the other classes, could it be? Lonely over this long weekend...tell us Bakugou, do more mistresses await!?"

"SHUT THE HELL UP YOU PURPLE PERVERT!" Bakugou roared.

There was a bright blush rising on his cheeks, though maybe that would be mistaken for anger and not embarrassment. At least that's what Kirishima desperately hoped. He felt his stomach do a flip as he noticed Kaminari and Sero's eyes widen, glancing between the two of them as the realization struck them. Well, no going back now.

As Mineta kept muttering obsessively about the implications of Bakugou's scratches, Kaminari breathed, "Ho-ly shit."

Sero added, "You guys did not!"

"Did you actually, like...?"

Mineta had a terrifying look on his face as he asked creepily, "Who are these angels you made love to over the weekend!?"

That's when Kaminari and Sero seemed to lose it completely. They doubled over with uncontrolled laughter at Mineta's complete misunderstanding, but also from sheer disbelief at what they were seeing.

"Who gave you those lovely scratches?" Mineta demanded while he practically drooled with anticipation waiting for the answer, oblivious to the other boys practically crying in the background with laughter.

"I DID!" Kirishima finally yelled in reply, his face turning bright red.

Mineta glanced up at him, then back to Bakugou with an extremely confused expression on his face. "Why would you do that?"

Kirishima growled, a bit uncomfortably, "Because he felt good."

Sero paused in his laughing, a bit shocked that he had actually said it. "So you guys actually-"

"FINISH YOUR SENTENCE TAPE DISPENSER, I FUCKING DARE YOU!" Bakugou roared, palms sparking. After a brief silence he hefted himself out of the pool and sulked away to the dressing rooms. With barely concealed fury he growled over his shoulder, "I'll text you later, Shitty Hair, or whatever."

There was an awkward silence around them in his wake, until Mineta said, "This means I have an even greater chance with the girls in our class!"

"No, you-" Kaminari started, but the other boy ignored him completely as he bolted for the changing room. "Where are you going!? None of the girls are here, remember?"

"I need to re-evaluate my strategy!" Mineta shouted as he disappeared.

"Don't get in Bakugou's way or he might actually kill you!" Kaminari shouted after him. Then he turned to Kirishima. "So...you and Bakugou."

"You and Bakugou," Sero repeated as he slid into the pool next to Kirishima.

The redhead buried his face in his arms, knowing that this was the end. He groaned, "Jeez, here we go."

Kaminari got into the pool on the other side of him and said reassuringly, "C'mon, we're your friends! We just want to know everything that happened and possibly torment you about it for the rest of your life."

Kirishima glared at him out of the corner of his eye as he muttered, "Yeah I know you will." But some small piece of him was itching to talk about it anyway.

"Okay first of all," Sero began, "you are now definitely not a virgin?"

Eijirou gave his answer in a little nervous laugh, "Yeah..."

The other two grinned at each other stupidly before Kaminari asked, "And you actually scratched his back, so were you on top or...?"

Kirishima groaned and buried his head as far into his arms as he could, wishing he could completely disappear. "No, that time was just the normal way, like the guy-girl way, and he was on top."

"That time!?" they both asked at once after they realized what he had said.

"How many times were there!?" Kaminari practically shouted in disbelief.

"Three."

Sero instantly fired back, "Dude, when!?"

I wonder if I can use my quirk long enough to drown myself, Kirishima found himself thinking before he answered, "Two nights ago, last night, and yesterday morning."

"You're fucking kidding," Kaminari said, punching him in the arm. "And that's why you refused to sit down most of the time yesterday?"

"Fuck off," Kirishima said grumpily.

"Oh relax I'm just messing with you," Kaminari said. "I mean regardless of how it happened, I think that makes you the first ones in our class to lose your virginity. That's pretty cool, not gonna lie."

"Really?" Kirishima asked. "I thought you might be a little more surprised."

Sero laughed, "Hell yeah we're surprised, but I mean we knew that you two liked each other. Still, I didn't think you would sleep together! I mean...how did you get that close to Bakugou and survive!?"

Kirishima perked up a little, and even smiled a bit despite how awkward he felt. "You better not mention this to anyone else...but he does have other emotions besides anger, at least when we're alone. I mean when we're...you know...he's actually pretty selfless, believe it or not."
"Honestly, I don't believe it," Kaminari laughed.

Kirishima tried to defend him, "And he gets pretty passionate."

"We can see that," Sero commented as he pointed to his neck.

"Oh yeah!" Kaminari said. "So, he actually gave you a hickey? Can I see?"
Kirishima let out a little nervous sigh but nodded and craned his neck so they could see better. He felt very uncomfortable about opening up so much to them, but at the same time it was exhilarating to tell someone about it. And, for the most part, they seemed pretty accepting about the whole situation. Over time he began to feel a little more comfortable around them and started to relax more at their demanding questions.

Kaminari pointed to the bruise that was a little more behind Kirishima's neck and asked, "That one seems to be a pretty odd location, how'd you get it?"

"Our first time," Kirishima confessed.

The yellow haired boy waggled his eyebrows stupidly as he asked, "So, your first time was, ah, doggy-style?"

"Would you shut up!?" Kirishima responded.

"What I want to know," Sero said a little more casually but with a look on his face that worried the redhead, "is where. Do I have to worry about sitting on the communal couch? Showering? ...Eating on our shared dining tables?"

Kirishima rolled his eyes before answering, "You two are disgusting. If you need to know we've only ever done it in Bakugou's room so far."

"So far, he says," Kaminari pointed out as he started laughing. "Okay but really, how good was it actually?"

Eijirou shrugged and said with a mild note of pride in his tone, "Well...you saw his back. That's what I thought of it."

"I guess that's all of my questions then," Kaminari said with a sigh. "Sero?"

"I'm good," the black-haired boy answered.

Kirishima breathed a sigh of relief and changed the topic, luckily without any reluctance on their part. To his delight it seemed that his relationship with Bakugou hadn't really changed their dynamic at all and it eliminated a lot of the fear that he didn't even realize he had been hiding until then. Of course he could talk easily and openly with his friends.

Eventually they all got out of the pool and agreed to spend the rest of the day hanging out together. He sent a brief text to Bakugou asking if he wanted to join them before they left and went about their day. Neither of them seemed to press him too much about his sex life after that, except with a few rare comments and jokes that they all got a laugh out of. One thing that got their attention was when Kirishima mentioned that they were officially boyfriends, even though he assumed it would have been obvious.

After a while Kirishima realized that Bakugou had never answered his text. It was one thing if he didn't want to join them, but he figured he would have at least said something in reply. Bakugou definitely would have at least given him some mildly annoyed response, just to let him know he had at least gotten the message.

Just to check up on him and see how he was doing he sent another quick text, just saying, 'What have you been up to?'

He didn't think much else of it for a while as he had some fun with his friends and lost track of the time. About three hours later he remembered suddenly that he was waiting for some kind of response and hurriedly dug his phone out of his pocket, only to find that there wasn't a single new message from his boyfriend.

"What is it?" Sero asked him.

"Bakugou never texted me back," Kirishima explained worriedly.

Kaminari pushed him and assured lightheartedly, "C'mon Kiri, you know he's probably just training or angrily staring at the wall or whatever he usually does in his spare time."

Kirishima laughed with him and Sero, but the laughter was hollow, not that they really noticed. He glanced down at his phone again doubtfully, part of him hoping that he would get a message right then telling him to stop worrying like the stupid nerd he was, or that he needed to mind his own business, but there was nothing there no matter how hard he stared at it.

He couldn't help the nagging feeling that something was wrong.
