15: Deku

Over the past few days, my relationship with Bakugo grew, and so did the comments from our classmates. They said we were adorable. They said they had shipped us for a while. They swore they'd never love another ship as much as they loved ours, and stuff like that. Speaking of ships, I had noticed something. Shinso was at the commons area almost everyday now. He said it was because he missed hanging out with us, but I could see the actual reason behind it. So, here I was, talking to Bakugo about it. I was sitting in his lap, and his arms were wrapped around my waist, his cheek on mine. "And you think that means something, don't you?" Bakugo asked, reaching up to run a hand through Izuku's hair. "Yeah. I think Shinso might actually like Kaminari. Or Kaminari might actually like Shinso. Either way, I think it's still cute." "Mm." Bakugo grunted, and I could picture him with his eyes closed, planning to get some sleep. I chuckled, and ran a hand through his hair, smiling. Slowly, he leaned back, and now, we were lying back on the bed, putting us on our sides.

Later, we went on a small little coffee date. Because why not. We sipped our drinks talked for about an hour, and looked around for something to do. That was when I spotted a sign. Couples Crafts-First lesson free! After some convincing, I was able to drag Bakugo inside, and find an empty table. We sat down, and looked at the items on the table. A hot glue gun, some paper, colored pencils, markers, paints, canvases-anything you'd consider a craft item. We set to work. I grabbed some paints and a canvas. Then, I grabbed a paper, and cut out a stencil I thought looked cute.

I looked my work over, smiling to myself. I had painted a forest of cherry blossom trees, bright against the cloudy sky, and then I'd added some words at the top. For my love, Kacchan. The rest was a poem that explained how I saw him. Once Bakugo was done, we swapped, and I inspected his beautiful handwork. He had made a scrapbook of some of our favorite memories as a couple. Later, I wondered where he had gotten the pictures. But, right now, I gave a soft and happy smile, hugging my boyfriend to tell him thanks. He hugged back, and we went to the dorms, holding hands and teasing each other all the way there.
