They walked in silence for a moment, their arms touching while they walked. Bakugo's heart was still beating fast; he looked down at her while they walked.
She looked up at him, "What?"
"You know," he began, "I'm going to be the number one hero, no matter what."
She nodded, "I can't wait to watch you grow."
He smiled softly looking towards the sky, "That's the only thing I give a damn about."
"Oh yeah?" she asked with a laugh.
He looked at her, "Yeah."
"Does that mean you don't like me back? " she wondered, looking at her hands.
"I'm gonna become better than AllMight," he said, "I'm even gonna surpass you; what I want is to be the number one hero. Flawlessly. No one will be able to question me."
She frowned; he hadn't answered her question, "Do you think I will hold you back?"
He paused for a moment, "No."
"So what are you trying to say?"
"How I feel."
"You're confusing me."
"I'm just letting you know what to expect."
Her face heated up, "Yeah, okay."
His face went a shade of red, "STOP THINKING!"
She laughed, her hand cupping her mouth, "What?"
"WHATEVER YOU'RE THINKING, STOP!" he yelled.
She smiled, grabbing his arm and hugging it, "Whatever you say."
They continued to the dormitory entrance; Class 1-A's was the first building. Bakugo put his hands in his pockets. Tsuki sniffed, rubbing at her nose.
"If you get sick, I'll kick your ass," Bakugo said plainly.
Tsuki laughed, "I'm cold natured, is all."
A soft cloth smacked her face, hiding her view. The jacket he was wearing landed in her outstretched arms.
"Put it on."
"Huh?"
"You said you were cold, right?"
She smiled, "Thanks."
"Yeah, whatever."
Tsuki fitted her arms through the sleeves of the jacket; the cuffs hung off her fingertips due to the size difference.
Her chest got heavy, "It smells like him."
His hand reached up and he threw the hoodie over her head, "Damn lizard."
She gasped, "The hell?" She giggled, "What do you mean?"
"Who the hell says they're cold natured," he mocked, "You're a nerd."
She laughed, "I'm anemic."
"A reptile, yes?" he asked rhetorically, "I just said that."
She rolled her eyes, "Whatever."
He smiled softly, exhaling out of his nose, "She talks like me sometimes." He rolled his shoulders, "Training starts up again tomorrow," he said looking at her, "and I want you at your best."
She laughed, "Okay." They stopped walking once they neared the porch to Class 1-A's dorm. He stood there for a moment, and Tsuki noticed, "Did he want something? " She grabbed his wrist and yanked his torso down; she kissed his cheek again, "Night, Katsuki."
His face went a deep shade of red, "You're an idiot."
She laughed, "Did I read him wrong? "
He looked away from her, face beet red, "Night."
He walked away, dragging his feet per usual. Tsuki watched him walk up the stairs for a moment before heading for the guest dorms. She walked with her arms wrapped around her; she couldn't help but smile at the recent events between the two of them.
"Was he saying that if we were gonna be a thing I couldn't get in the way of his dream? " she wondered, "Why would I even do that? It's not like half the time we spent together wasn't training anyway." She kicked at a dandelion, "He's so shy when it comes to physical affection... I wonder if I made him uncomfortable. He just looked so cute making all those faces at me I couldn't help it. I can't believe a guy like that could look so... adorable." She laughed out loud and looked towards the sky.
...
"TSUKIIIII!" Anisa sang from the kitchen.
Tsuki kicked off her untied Converse, "You weirdo, you stayed up?"
She smiled, nodding, "I need details."
Tsuki laughed, "Let's go upstairs."
"Were you wearing that jacket when you left?"
"UP THE STAIRS!" she yelled dramatically, waving her arms, "Andale, Andale!"
Anisa laughed, hurrying up the stairs; Tsuki and she practically woke up the whole class with their feet thumping and their giggles that followed. They were seated on Tsuki's floor, each holding a pillow.
"Did he kiss you?"
Tsuki face-palmed, "No, I kissed him."
"UGH!" she sighed, "Why?"
"It's complicated," Tsuki said, waving her hand, "like it's either I initiated it or it wasn't gonna happen."
"Hello??" Anisa said, disapprovingly, "so wait, what did y'all talk about?"
"My past and stuff," Tsuki admitted, "like everything."
"Like how you did with me?"
Tsuki nodded, "like my lore."
She huffed, "I don't even know all your lore." She rubbed her eyebrow, "so like then what?"
"I don't know, he just understood me," she continued, "and like he looked at me and I looked at him, and then he..."
Tsuki decided not to tell Anisa about how Bakugo grabbed the entirety of her face.
"He what?" Anisa said excitedly.
"He got really nervous and stuff."
Anisa laughed hard, "Him? Nervous? OH MY DAYS, THAT'S HILARIOUS!"
"Shut up," Tsuki whined, "he's cute. Shut up."
"MR. NUMBER HERO GOT NERVOUS WHEN A GIRL TRIED TO KISS HIM—" Anisa was practically rolling on the floor, "I CANNOT IMAGINE IT—"
"Stop making fun of him," Tsuki laughed, "he'd actually kill us if he found out."
She laughed, "just try to kiss him and he'll stop!" Her voice died into soundless laughter as she held her stomach. She gasped for air after a while, "Oh geez." She shook her head, "haven't laughed like that in ages."
"You're so annoying."
Anisa wiped a nonexistent tear, "UGH. Wow. That was hilarious."
"Die."
She smiled, "No, seriously, continue."
"No."
"Come on," Anisa said with a wave of her arm, "I have to make fun of him. It's my job."
Tsuki rolled her eyes, "Whatever."
"Do you like him?"
Tsuki nodded, "Yeah."
Anisa smiled at her, "I can tell by the way you talk about him."
Tsuki made a face and covered her face with her hands, "Really?"
"It's cute."
"Shut up."
