Third person POV

Kirishima smiled and thanked him for the visit.
"Now we'll be off, sorry for the intrusion" The assessor said politely then he and his assistant were headed out the door.
"Wow they're really good looking!" The assistant whispered to the assessor.
"I'm literally standing right here." The assessor replied offendedly to his partner.
"Well no-I still love you but they are a smashingly attractive couple." The assistant said with a passion.

The assessor rolled his eyes with annoyance then they closed the door behind them. Kirishima was incidentally listening to their conversation and smiled to himself, he never thought anyone would think that they were an extremely good looking couple...though...he had to admit Bakugo was quite a sight for sore eyes.

The helpers barged out of their rooms and surrounded the two with questions.
"Did he approve of the mark?"
"Did it hurt a lot?"
"Who was that other guy?"
"Can we see the mark?"
A tsunami of words flooded the two but the last question ranging between Kirishima's ears kind of got to him.

It was not illegal or forbidden to show the helpers your partner's mark. Rather, they would eventually see it.
"Bakugo?" Kirishima called his name. Bakugo glances over at Kirishima and shrugged. He'd figured that if Kirishima was fine then he mine as well just show them.

Just as Bakugo did before when he was showing the assessor, he lift his hair and exposed his colorfully bruised mark to he helpers.

Echoes of Ooo's, Awww's and woah's scattered the small crowd of helpers as they stared at Bakugo's nape.
Nothing was said and Bakugo started feeling awkward so he covered his nape back up.

For a couple seconds they sat in silence and once again the questions swarmed around them like a colony of loudly buzzing bees.

"Wow that's some real damage..."
"Did it hurt?"
"Ew"
"Woah that's kinda cool!"
Bakugo's lividness was slowly fuming and he was starting to feel nauseated from all the loud chitter chatter.

He grumbled and pushed his way through the little crowd of still chattering helpers. Kirishima had noticed this and followed Bakugo, politely excusing himself from the gathered group of people.
"Bakugo? You alright, man?" Kirishima rubbed his back to comfort him.

"They were just irritating me." Bakugo sighed. It was good that he stepped from the crowd to take a breather because he was already starting to feel a lot more calm though he could still hear the distant conversations. And Kirishima rubbing his backside was soothing as well.

"Thank god we got that over with." Kirishima said in relief.

Kirishima went over to the helpers and told them to cut the chattering and get back to work. The helpers did as they were told, scattering throughout the house to scout out anything that needed to be dusted or wiped down.

Kirishima returned to Bakugo's side. Bakugo grabbed Kirishima's hand and plopped it down on his back telling him to keep rubbing. Kirishima did so.

It had been quite a good auctioning year for Kirishima Eijirou and yet another fantastic year for Katsuki Bakugo as well. Nothing made either of them more happy than each other, though it might not have shone on the surface with Bakugo but it was still known.

Happiness was the forever air that would linger around the couple.
