ITS ROMANTIC. and i told you i was gonna be more romantic- in actions and in words!
[ It had been a new years resolution to "be more intentional" about being a great male example to his fans- and others- and that meant projecting healthy, romantic examples within a relationship!!!
The novelas were just lucky coincidence...]
its not random- i stated my facts, and I won! yeeeaaaa but u admited that u thought i was cute when we were in UA and you didn't tell me- so that means YOU held back feelings~ about~ me~ at some point. before we even started kissing! so i win.
oh no that was tlly smashed heh;;; BUT they found a replacement quick! roger.
[ "What? You told me to?!" ... "OW!" Was usually the follow up to those morning glares.]
[Which is somewhat permission? But dammit, he doesn't want him doing that kind of stuff in front of the public! People don't need to gawk all over their love life! HEALTHY! Not embarrassing!]
shut up! it was a rigged competition! WHY DOES THAT MATTER?! I DON'T SAY EVERYTHING I THINK!! I'M GONNA BLOW YOUR ASS THROUGH THE DAMN ROOF!!
[How's that for not holding back his feelings?! God, he's almost yelling in his seat!]
thought so. you need to get the front more armor.
[He does tell him to. Then bitches about it. But always falls for it whenever they get amorous.]
[ A win is a win with his earnest partner. Though, Eijirou is always been more inclined to enjoy their private relationship- well, privately. As a Pro he relishes in stolen glances across the field, little winks during PR meetings, and perhaps a very secretly done pat on the bum if he can afford it...
He's learned mostly from other Heroes experiences on openly exposing their love to the public- it was either a train wreck or a reason to be uplifted. Which, carried a lot of weight for a graduated Kirishima-- as always, letting his nerves take the wheel for a bit. They were two young men trying to be Pros, dating, together. A couple. So, Eijirou had always been the more 'conservative' of the pair when they were younger. Now? He's... recently become more... racy.]
hmmm some might say u say everything you think, babe. THEY WONT RETURN OUR DEPOSIT???
naaaaaaaah then it wont be a speedbike! it'll be....... a tractor. i need to go fast! ziiip!
[ Ah, the biweekly squabble between the sheets of to bite "where everyone can see" or not- Red can be stubborn when he wants to be- his love bites were private.]
[He's gonna argue that win, dammit! Later, not here. Katsuki's not against their relationship outside. He's the one leaning over in the back of a van or dropship and biting Eijirou's ear, or stomping over and aggressively checking his boyfriend for injuries after a battle, screw who's watching. But softer things are rarer... obviously.
Can't say he hates his boyfriend's willingness to be more brazen, but sometimes it embarrasses the hell out of him! Also because it turns him on despite his scrambling and snarling. And they've ended up making out in an elevator, alley, or car more than once in the past month. Stupid sexy bastard.]
i don't give a shit what they say! they're morons! THEN DON'T PISS ME OFF!!
you can get stronger metal without compromising the weight or size as much. ask deku. he has experience.
[Katsuki's not gonna leave bites where people can see. Which is a problem when your lover runs around with his pecs, abs, back, and neck showing all the damn time in costume!]
[ Not the biting in the van!! Red Riot was known for being a chivalrous icon- sure he wasn't anywhere as stiff as Iida but the Hardy Hero tended to squawk or sputter when a handsome blonde Pro got too close to him in front of the cameras...
Dynamight was a Hero who did things his way- very manly!- but it was one of the reasons the nosy cameras caught a whiff of their relationship. All over the news. One of those rare intimate moments gone viral. Not a total PR nightmare, but still stressful.
Now that everyone knew.....well, it made sneaking a kiss harder while on the clock! So, being more romantic when he could afford it seemed practically reasonable. And sexy.]
ur literally doing it rn! u cant threaten to Howitzer me everytime i win an argument
oookaaay mr. #4 salary~ heh yeah ill hit up Midoriya in like 5 paychecks, babe.
[ Queue the "You have to stop biting me there... I CANT SIT DURING BRIEFINGS" talks.]
[Leans right over and messes with his ear, when he's in the mood. And he doesn't do it in front of the damn cameras! Who the hell's filming in the damn van?! Cameras at best get to see him run over and check on his partner, they caught an embrace or two in their time, and one didn't survive him noticing.
He hated it when people invaded their privacy. Whether asking impertinent questions on a talk show or sneaking a camera some place it didn't belong for a stealth shot. Then again, Katsuki's always a PR nightmare, resulting in Best Jeanist and Eraserhead's multiple line faces and sweat drops...
Eijirou can be romantic whenever he wants to be, so long as he's willing to take the consequences if the explosive blonde's not in the mood.] Text
NO I'M NOT! YES I CAN!
[His logical argument, ladies and gentlemen.]
urusei! i'll be number one before the year's up! watch me! just fucking call and ask; he'll work with you.
[At least see what he has to say. "Then learn to stand" retort.]
[ Tease!!! The van driver will see! Red is ultimately the more prudish one whenever they're in the publics eye- that inkling echo of his teenage-selfs nerves always lingering subconsciously. So he's extra careful with the PDA... but when Katsuki initiates it, it's incredibly refreshing-- one of the very few times Red Riot blushes in front of camera is when Dynamight is around to 'check on him.'
He's the sturdiest Pro Hero on the scene- until Dynamight shows up, he's prone to melting a bit as a result.
Though, just because he's more reserved in the public eye doesn't mean he won't check-in on Katsuki. He's the love of his life, and Eijirou is a literal worry wart- even though he knows the blonde is 110% fully capable- it doesn't stop Red Riot from showing up and lingering at a scene (outside of his patrol zone, tsk tsk) to make sure his partner is alright. ]
???? NO U CANT??? rmr we use our WORDS
[ He's being a brat- and its endearingly much like how he acted in high school. Red chuckles.]
i love that! i'm gonna look suuuuper cute standing next to the No.1~ haaaaaaa yea maybe next month when stuff at the agency settles down;; i can get home tonight- that's all that matters~
[Why the hell are you blushing when he comes to check on you?! He's not doing it like some doting boyfriend! He's shoving aside slabs of stone or picking your bleeding ass off the ground sort of checking! Or yelling at him from a ways off to see if he's okay... Or coming over to look at him... okay so he doesn't always "only" do it when Riot's been in trouble. Shut up. Still don't need to blush, dammit.]
DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO! I USE WORDS ALL THE TIME!!
[Dammit, now he has to sleep in the same bed as this guy! (And he always will, as much as he can.) Katsuki glares at the phone before stomping to the kitchen. What a brat.]
you've got your work cut out for you if you wanna be no.2.
do what you want. it's your bike. i'll have your food ready when you get in.
[ All of those count as being a 'doting' boyfriend though!? Red had always considered how their relationship would change when they went public about it- sure, it hadn't been the smoothest reveal which caused some chaos, gossips, PR meetings up the hooha and their fans went insane for a good 4-6 weeks. Eijirou had fully assumed Katsuki would hate it so much he would want them to avoid all PDA in public again---
Except, the blonde took it as a challenge. He was stubbornly pushing back as always. And while Red took the slightly more conservative approach to PDA, his murder God wasn't so keen on holding off because "other people want him to."
So yes, when the masks are on- if Dynamight approaches him, Red feigns a manly, and polite "Hey, you!" with a wave or fistbump-- and when he's greeted with anything more personal he tends to blush if anyone is watching, smiling secretly and trying his best to shield them from the cameras. Some might say he worries for the both of them.]
IM NOT??? but u rlly can't blast me whenever u dont get ur way babe? 1. it doesn't work??? 2. it messes up the apartment/car/office ect
hey let me get my agency going and get to Top 10 and i'll be counting myself lucky! u and Todoroki get along right? he can keep my spot warm for me~
are u gonna be awake?
[ Can you hear the big puppy tone, Blasty? He works long hours and he wants to see him, sue the man!]
[HE'S NOT DOTING! He's making sure the guy he likes isn't going to cough up a lung or collapse on him! Katsuki knew their relationship going public would change things, but he determined not to let it affect him. People asked about how Eijirou was doing before, now they ask about how his boyfriend is doing, and both times he tells them to fuck off! It's about the same with anything else, from their classmates good-natured teasing to his parents being so happy for him. Surprisingly he hasn't had a Pro Hero take him aside yet and give him a lecture on the "dangers" of relationships. Duh.
Yeah, there's no holding back from him. He blows up when people stick their noses in his business, whether they're fans, reporters, other heroes, whoever. He's dating Eijirou! Not them! Bastards.
But it's still fun to make his boyfriend blush from time to time, when Katsuki's in the mood to tease him.]
don't look down on me. i can blast you without damaging anything!
[Will he? ... Probably not. But he can threaten!]
aim for the number one, dammit! you can't be content with something lower. HAA?! LIKE HELL WE DO! THAT HALF-N-HALF BASTARD'S LORDING IT OVER ME!
[ Eijirou definitely had that talk with a few people now- it comes with the territory of being surrounded by people who care, and being someone open to listening- which, Katsuki usually isn't. Red had several sessions with his counselor as well, rambling about his worries: stress of work on their relationship, crazy stalkers fans, life and death emergencies, their future... commitments to each other.
The dark-gray cloud that visited him more often in high-school lingered at time- except now Eijirou was more experiencing with managing his self-doubt. A Pro at it! Some might say.
Don't tease the big guy too much in public or else he'll fall in love with him! ... Again! ]
i'm noooot~ i would never. UR JUST BEING STUBBORN NOW lol
last time i checked ur not willing to SHARE the #1 spot babe??? i didn't say i would be CONTENT-- heck i'll be dam happy if my agency makes it to a year AND i can stay top 10. heh;; it's a lot of hard work. NO HE'S NOT??? Todorokis super sweet and cool! don't be mean to him he's ur buddy
[ Does he love watching Katsuki still grouch about their friends? Yes.]
[It's been difficult for his mentors and parents to force Katsuki into sitting through a session. Does he worry? He won't admit it, but of course he does! He's human! Seeing Eijirou crushed under rubble-- even knowing his boyfriend's amazing strength and unbreakable defensive Quirk --can make his pulse quicken and his throat catch for a second. He's glared death at someone getting too close to his man in a wrong way, and he's not immune to a nightmare or two of his lover's kidnapping or torment. But he pushes though all of these, confronts and defeats his own fears, and once more sets up his trust in Eijirou's strength on the pedestal it always shines upon.
Psh, Katsuki can tease his man any time he wants in public! Red's lucky the blonde isn't much for teasing in public. He could be a menace if he had the personality or it.]
I NEVER LEARNED HOW TO GIVE UP, SHITTY HAIR
of course i'm not gonna share it! but any rival of mine should be going for the top spot! your agency's gonna be fine. did you forget the size of you fanbase?
STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH! he's a rival and that's that, dammit!
am I a rival now too?? babe do u think everyones your rival lol EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING THAT???;;; that's... that's different!
[ He's well aware of the major size of his fanbase- and it is a responsability that he carries with him everyday! ALL THOSE EYES on him. All those parents sending him fan letters saying how their kids look up to him and He's so MANLY! That they wanna be 'just like him.'
It makes him blush with pride. But also, it's uneasy at times. All that pressure.]
yea him and Midoriya are your brfl
["Best Rivals For Life."]
romantic~
( ooc: BWAAA!!! lmk if u wanna fade it at any time or have them meet irl ꈍ◡ꈍ i love theeeeemm grown up so i'm down to keep going hehe )
you've always been a rival, idiot! you think i smash you with my howitzer cause i think you'll break? NO I DON'T! only people who can rival me. duh.
how's it different?
[Unfortunately Katsuki's pretty shit to his fans, meaning he loses a bunch of them, but the ones who-- like others in his class --think his aggression is a charm point, stick around despite his booms. Those are the ones at least worth keeping, since they're strong. He respects that. And the ones who fire back at him. Which sometimes is NOT a good result during interviews and public appearances.
He doesn't usually bother reading his own letters. Got better things to do. Sheesh.]
urusei! don't say that kinda crap at me!
[Eijirou speaks the truth, but rawr!]
[ooc: Mwaaa!! i'm good with moving into irl if you're down for it. they can have some personal time together. yeah playing with their grown-up lives is nice, especially cause we got to see some of it canonly, haha. eijirou's adorable in katsuki's car.]
[ Red is already on his bike as he reads through the assault of texts from the blonde- he knows what Katsuki means by calling him a "rival"- someone who is up to par with him, someone he knows capabel enough to go against him and stand tall, therefore someone he's willing to consider and trust. Still- its hard for his boyfriend-side of his brain not to purse his lips at the word... he'd prefer something a bit more endearing. But 'rival' is probably as romantic as the TNT could muster.
His bright red bike revs as it waits for him to text back...]
its DIFFERENT ;;;
anyways omw ilussssssssm
[ With a big grin he tucks his phone, slips on a helmet (yes it was red, with pointed horns on it!) and he hits the road. A bike just made sense to get to the scene much faster- of course, within the speed limit!
He makes quick work of getting home, he still has his apartment but Katsukis is much closer to everything-- and his bright red bike is parked right next to a rather posh looking, black luxury car. A little fancy for Eijirou but Katsuki was adamant it was the 'best' car- Red was sure it had nothing to do with the fact All Might had once had... a black car.]
Thank you for having meee... ~ [ He teases as he ducks into the apartment, opting for a friendly greeting every time instead of saying 'i'm home'-- it was very private building so he had not issue entering outside of his costume. And like per usual, his hands were filled with something- grocery bags, and his work laptop.
Eijirou perks up as he peeks his head in further, kicking off his boots- the only part of his costume that went with him everywhere-] hey, handsome- where are you?
[Eijirou's not wrong with those assumptions. Katsuki holds his rivals in a special place. People he both trusts and expects to push him even further. Despite his pride and attitude, he's aware he can only go so far on his own. Like putting heavier weights on to prompt muscle growth and strength. Without rivals, he reaches a plateau difficult to overcome alone. Of course he's going to demand his rivals be the best damn rivals possible!
But seeing Red Riot as a rival doesn't do a damn thing to influence Katsuki's view of his boyfriend. He's not challenging Eijirou to make the bed faster than him (though he's far more a neat freak than Red) and he isn't pushing him to best him at shopping. His boyfriend's not a battle, and he's mature enough to separate the two.
You know, until a certain spiky-haired punk swats his ass or incites a competition over some little thing.
Katsuki doesn't text back; he almost always refuses to text his boyfriend when he knows Eijirou's driving (and rages if he finds out he was texting while doing so). Driving means calling. Voices. Other than that, get home safe.
Eijirou's red horned helmets as awesome as it is ridiculous.
Hey, he likes his sporty car! It looks great, is strong as heck, and didn't cost him an arm and a leg! (Just an arm.) But he's got a 15 year warranty on it locked in with lawyers seal of approval. Someday soon, he's gonna ask Eijirou to move in with him instead of splitting two apartments... but lingering preference for his own space continues to nag at him and makes him hesitate. He wants to, yeah, but also wants to make sure it'll be the best idea for both of them. Not purely an emotional decision crawling into his chest each time Eijirou walks over the threshold.]
In the kitchen. Lock the door. [Called out in case Eijirou forgets. The scent of fresh herbs and something almost icy lingers in the apartment air. He's finishing up with their dinner: bibim-naengmyeon, or "cold, spicy, chewy noodles". A welcome distraction from the late summer heat outside.]
[ Competition over "little things" are the best!! His mans competitive demeanor was one of the charms Red fell for early on when they first met... so manly~.
HIS HELMET IS AWESOME. Bright florescent red that rivals even his own hair, he's a speed (at the limit!) demon on his bike- and it's great for saving on gas! ]
... ? [ Red smirks at the order to lock the door- bemused, he does as he's told before shaking off his shoulder bag and jacket- humming ] yes, siiir. wouldn't want some evil THIEVES breaking in- [ With a big smile he rounds the corner, chuckling as he gently puts his jacket over onf of Katsukis bar-counter chairs, feigning worry- pointy red brows knitting slightly and he juts out his lip like a pout- ] who knows what defenseless, young, handsome man lives in here... all alone~
[ His tongue peeks out in a tease because why not be a full grown man in his mid twenties and be silly, mlep- then Red lulls towards Katsuki, broad shoulders low as he sheepishly comes closer, right beside the blonde- chest bumping to shoulder, leaning to PLANT his face into the other mans cheek, humming into it- Eijirou never did outgrow that touchiness it seems.] hellooo, miss me? hm? why didn't you text back? ...mm, what's this? [ Million questions per usual- red eyes peering into the noodles, toothy grin ad he scrunches up his nose- it smelled...] spicy!
[Katsuki's always found it somewhat funny Eijirou loves going fast, given his Quirk turns him into a fucking weighted tank of a man. One reason he's hard to turn him down when the guy asks to hold on while Katsuki blasts around the air on off times. A rare little delight.
Look, sometimes the guy comes in and is too excited to see him or too busy putting shit down to remember a quick lock of the door behind him! Eijirou's got areas he's smart in, but he can also focus too hard on one thing. Good thing he doesn't hear that smarmy little comment about thieves.
Katsuki pulls a wad of brown noodles from a bowl of icy water, a few cubes clinking on the metal walls as water drips from his ball of buckwheat yarn. He gives it a few gentle bounces to shake the majority of water from it, then winds the wad around his fingers in a loose ball. Before plating it in the center of another bowl nearby.]
Fucking hilarious. Do you want me to feed you or not?
[That's a threat, lips dropping in a scowl. Does Eijirou really think he's immune to a snatched-away bowl of food? ... Most of the time he is. Big child. Bump goes a shoulder to shoulder as Katsuki brings the second wad of noodles home, both so cold they're already misting their concave nests.]
Oy! I'm working, dammit! [Does he try to shove him off or duck away? No. Only turns his head with a snarl before biting a certain someone on the cheek. Chomp. Plaster to him all you want, but don't get in the way while he's trying to get food in your gullet! Watch in awe as he spreads bright red pepper sauce paste over top each noodle ball, then crowns it with a handful of matchstick-cut cucumbers. Sesame seeds sprinkle. Half a hard boiled egg crowns. And a shallow moat of savory ice cold broth adds his final touch to the dish.] Cold noodles. It's called Bibim-naengmyeon in Korea.
[Similar to a soba dish from Japan, but tossed together rather than done piecemeal.]
You were driving. [As to why he didn't text back. A light notch of his elbow nudges Eijirou's abs.] Yours is mild.
[ Queue a staticky Local News programing with Red Riot hanging off Dynamights waist as he flies across the sky like a bright-red parachute and hollering 'Wooooooo!!' to make things worse. It wasn't the safest thing, but hey, if the Hardy Hero couldn't take advantage who could!?
Heroes who could 'fly' or blast themselves across town had it so easy! Aka why he bought his red-hot street bike... He loved his explosive boyfriend, why wouldn't he favor an explosively loud and fast mode of transportation?]
heh, yeees? Why do you think I came over all the way here? For you dashing good looks?
[ Red smirks playfully, full of crap lie since he practically squatted at Katsukis apartment most days- to the threat of a scowl frown, he tilts his head to offer a sheepish smile, only to lean back just a tad-] ah, sorry sorry! Working man... my bad~ [ His upper body might have pulled back slightly- to give Katsuki some space, boo!- but to replace it his right arm finds a home on the blondes waist- gently attempting to sooth the other man with a silent apology, fingers drawing small circles against the small of his back. Always so touchy, Red.]
mmmm? wow this looks fancy--aaaauuuww-! ita, tatata-- [ Bite. He tenses, staying still as his eyebrows scrunch together in a pathetic smile- baring the dull pain of Katsukis cheek bite. He's use to them- but he knows better than to pull away. Bakugou was the type of hound to bite and not let go if you fight back.]
oow. mm, treat me gently! I just got here. [ He finally pulls away a step, giving the cook his space, and leans back onto the counter right next to him- they've both grown in so many ways, and with change came habits. Eijirou had grown taller, as per usual the sudden height spurt wavered some confidence and he's learned to stand tall-- but he mostly slouches a bit in the comfort of home. With broad shoulders, thick arms and a few inches on most standard Pros - slouching makes him look like a looming beast. So, he adopted the "Hero Stance"- and its regular to find Kirishima jerking up to straighten his posture-
He peeks down at the dish, stars in his eyes-] bwaaaa, this is so neat. I'm telling you- we should have Amajiki-san over! He'd love it! [ Red chirps, grinning big at the mention of his old senpai---
then Katsuki mentions the dishes name.
He squints, staring quietly before offering a crooked smile, a red eyebrow arching coyly-] are you... watching my Korean dramas, babe?
[ His romantic, late-night K-drama novelas! He must have- suddenly making Korean noodles.
He teases, and his smile grows wider at the offer of the 'mild' dish, HUMMING happily, the Pro leans back up off of the counter, purposely crowding Katsuki again because he can- because he wants to- and bounces a quicky smooch on his partners cheek, he grins at Katsuki again with a cool mischief in his eyes. Mild. ] .. ... you looking down on me?
[ There's a flirtacious quirk in his eye when he uses the others usual phrase. Red wags his brows as if silently saying 'are you?'? Because OF COURSE HE CAN TAKE SPICY (he'll regret it later!) ]
THAT WAS RHETORICAL, DAMMIT!! [Katsuki scowls over his shoulder, threatening to brain that smirking red head with whatever utensil's on hand! Or douse him with icy water. He's got that nearby too, full of ice cubes. Does it bother him his boyfriend crashes at his place most of the time? If he did, it wouldn't keep happening... Another reason to ask him about moving in.] Go sit at the table and wait, Shitty Hair.
[An order promptly ignored as fingers crawl across his belt line and a muscular arm winds about his hips for a possessive, tender embrace. Tch- ... fine, so long as he's not gonna interrupt his work crafting a culinary delight. Apology accepted. For now. Not because he thinks his boyfriend's cute, or because some spiky-haired warlock's drawing circles on his back's diamond.]
Urusei. [Half muffled on a smooth cheek as he eases his own brows in a satisfied revenge. Released, jaws relaxed, tongue flicking a sneaky sneak of a lick across Red's bitten cheek before he puts his attention back to their meal.] I am treating you gently.
[He'd be through the wall with smoke rising if he was the subject of rough treatment. Red drools down a yarn-wound pod of noodles, seeping one or two droplets into their icy broth. A shed of green cucumber scrunches under their capping hat of hard-boiled egg, topped with sesame sprinkles, and Katsuki proclaims it done. All that's left is tossing it at the table. If his boyfriend wants to stop looking like a fucking model resting on the counter like that.]
He'd be staring at the wall the entire fucking time. If he didn't shit himself at the invitation.
[Look, he respects the guy for his amazing work and ability as a hero. He also mocks him for not getting over his crippling anxiety and supreme shyness. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DAMN SENSE!!]
Why the fuck would I watch that crap?! Korean food has a lot of spices in it! I watch recipes! [Jeeze! He's not wasting his time picking food from dramas. Loser. A little "punt" of one foot knocks at Red's calf, encouraging him to get his muscular butt to the table for dinner. Not before a smooth blitz steals one off his cheek.] You--!!
[Kick kick kick!] Take your shit to the table and die, dammit! [Such a pain in the ass! Don't make him shoulder you towards the table, because he will if he has to. Standing here flirting with him like that.] Move. I know you like it mild; you don't have to eat it hot just to prove nothing. Enjoy your food.
[And heads for the table with his own. He doesn't get any satisfaction seeing his boyfriend crying over food he can't taste or enjoy eating cause it's too hot. Certainly not a fan of lava shits later. No, he makes things he knows Eijirou will like, and his own dish gets the heat. Simple as that.]
I can't siiit if you don't let go-? [ Its a horrible excuse, but technically true- he stays docile until the blonde is satisfied with the 'punishment', and he's released. Red feigns a pained look, groaning with sheepishly dropped shoulders-] itaaa...-- oh?
[ The little lick to the cheek caught him off guard- Red SMILES, scrunching up his nose- because it was both cute, and dirty... in a good way. Which unintentionally riled up the Hardy hero-] Aaaaa-~! You're teasing me! Don't tease a man who's just left work, Tsuki- I'm tight wound after work, y'know? [ He chirps, taking a step to once again invade the blondes space, the hand that had been gently seeking to be forgiven earlier, now earning a new purpose- to paw at his partners waist before taking the chance now that Katsukis hands were both busy- aka semi lethaless- and he pats his boyfriends butt.
A "well done" toosh pat pat. Eijirou then hums, grinning when told he 'was' being treated 'gently.'] ... I might bite back~. [ Smileeeee. Pleased to see Katsuki pick up the plate to beeline towards the dining table-- not before kick kick kicking him on his way past. Red takes the kicking assault without batting an eyelash-- attempting to swerve around the kicking, pick up his plate, and nag back with a sheepish smile on his face. He lingers behind just for a second to sneak a few more precut cucumbers off the cutting board to add to his mouth- shh! Katsuki won't notice. His left cheek bulging like a hamster as he talks around the food-] don't be mean to Amajiki-san! He's great, plus he's waaaay better at that stuff. He thinks you're great!
[ "He has a personality disorder, Kirishima-kun." was more along the lines of what his senpai would tell him but that's neither here or there!]
AAAAND- it's not "Crap", it's art. And if you weren't such a log when you sleep, you might enjoy one or two episodes. It's romantic. [ Eijirou rambles as he tags behind his boyfriend with a pleased smile, crunch crunching the half a cucumber he put in his mouth. Talking with his mouth full-] Ah'I naow! I'mm... jush wanted- [ Swallows. Red chuckles as he shrugs a shoulder.] I just wanted to say it like you. It always sounds manly when you say it~
[ With a soft muted sound his ceramic bowl is set down on the table, but he waits for Katsuki to be the first to sit- hovering slightly, only for a moment until the other is seated and he can half bend over to truly kiss the other mans temple. Quiet, firm. Smiling as he pivots to sit himself down, Katsukis table was nice before he could easily drag a chair closer and sit near him enough for one of their knees to touch- and he always sits there.
His scarlet eyes lingering on the refreshing noodle creation- admiring the food- before he stops to look up and watch Katsuki takes his first bite instead- with an elbow on the table, chin propped to his palm he stares. ] ... you're too sweet to me. [ With a smirk, he leeeeans over a little, whispering-] it's like you got a crush on me or something~
[ with a heh!, Eijirou sliiides back to his bowl and SITS UP STRAIGHT- firmly exclaiming from the depths of his core-] thank you for the meal! [ He STABS the mound of noodles- and twists far too many at once- oh, such graceful dish was not meant for men like Kirishima- men who would demolish them in three mouthfuls.]
Tch, you're such a pain in the ass! [And yet makes no effort for a few more seconds to let him go. Tch, don't give him that pained look! He knows it's fake shit. (And it never fails to make his chest twinge slightly. Bastard.) Hence he gets a small reward to encourage his trouble maker lover back to the table.]
You're one to talk. [Teasing him and everything. Coming up and embracing him, chin on his shoulder, standing so close he feels the warmth from Red's body ghosting through his clothes. Dammit, you know what they do when they're together! Some of it's sexy. A lazy smirk hooks the corner of his mouth and he cants his head an inch closer to be a pure 100% brat.] How tight?
[If his man's gonna talk potential double entendres before dinner, he'd better be ready for the consequences. Should've know this would backfire on him. Should've seen it coming. But nope! A second's all he gets with both hands claimed before a naughty paw goes for his ass, patting fine muscle and earning a yelp from the explosive hero.] Dammit! Go sit down before I slaughter you!
[Or fuck him on the counter. Either one works. Snarl. He'll bite back. Way to induce a shudder right up his spine. So many memories of those teeth on his body, from playful nips to full-blown orgasm-calling chomps. Don't think he didn't notice a cucumber thief! ... but Eijirou earned them, so nothing said. He hooks a foot round the leg of a chair and pulls it out halfway, enough to slide his butt onto the seat and take it properly.
Only to grumble a bit when lips nuzzle into his temple and a proper kiss is stolen and planted upon his head. Ugh, how many times does he have to tell this man to sit the fuck down and eat? He's the one who said he was hungry on the way over! Plate tabled, utensils procured, and now drinks (once his boyfriend's seated and thus "locked in" to his position). Up he gets.]
Uh-huh. Then you invite him and see what he does.
[Katsuki doesn't think it has shit to do with a disorder and more the guy won't buck himself up and learn to get over his damn shyness. Not like the guy's even mentioned some traumatic experience leaving him in such a way. Eijirou completely reinvented himself before coming to U.A., and that took a shit ton of soul searching, determination, practice, and other things he's pretty damn sure Amajiki could do if he wanted to put in the effort.]
Art crap. [There, amended his statement. Water, juice, wine (if Red's feeling fancy), and tea. A quartet of drinks return with him to the table and he once more seats himself to start in on the meal. Chopsticks dug into the noodles for a quick tossing before he brings a mouthful to his lips.] I'd rather sleep!
[Implying he'd watch some episodes half-asleep. Right. Slurping up the trail of noodles, Katsuki glances to the side with eyes resting on his body. A macho man, elbow on table, chin in palm, gazing at him with a sweet adoring expression. Ready to say a sweet adoring thing. The blonde's eyes flatten and his brows follow suit in a nonplussed visage. Someone has way too much love on his hands if he's gonna postpone food for this.]
Shut up and choke. [Said with such grumpiness even as a "stray" leg just so happens to move under he table and nuzzle his knee to the other man's. Nothing to see here, nothing to note or feel, not like he's happy with stupid words and warm heart talking sappy to him.] You had a crush first.
[ Red is TURNING AROUND faster than his neck can snap, and he smirks (!!), squinting a little secretive how dare you while crunching on his stolen cucumber. He'll remember that one later.
Its not until he sits that Katsuki gets up- which makes the Hardy Hero turn to watch him move around the dining space, a wry smile growing on Eijirous face as he watched the blonde tend to them- to him. Katsuki was good at everything he did, and he looked great doing it too. Broad and toned, the way he moved so confidently around his own home, like he owned it (he did but still.) So, maybe he's smitten a little bit. Sue him! ] ... romantic art 'crap', mm. Thanks, babe. [ The drinks were a full circle of good choices and one dehydrating one-- Regular Eijirou would pick the tea; buuuut, with a pointed mischievous shine in his eyes he plucks up the glass of wine.]
I'm off duty tomorrow~
[ Red gives the blonde an animated wag of his brows as he takes a short sip; shuddering because wine wasn't his preference, but it took the edge off.] nmmm, yikes- who bought this? [ He SMACKS his lips. It was dry. But he takes another hard swing before putting it down, to smile back up to the other man--
He griiiiins at the incriminating words, You had a crush first, before offering a casual shrug and nod of his spiked head as if saying Yeah, you got me there. Turning back to the fancy bowl of food he pauses, and smiles wider- pretending he doesn't feel Katsukis knee under the table. As a Pro you have to become good at feigning things, sometimes it came with the costume- to play a part, and play along.
Playing along with Katsukis antics in private was his favorite.] ... yeah, but I got yoooou to crush on me back~ [ With the confidence of a man who got Katsuki Bakugou to date him, he SMIIILES from his seat, chewing with a sweet but shit-eating grin~~~]
You heard me. [Smug as fuck this one is, grinning at his man attempting to snap his own neck. Flustered over something like that? After teasing him a moment before? Ha! He has no sympathy for such a low blow.
Two glasses cupped in his fingers, deft thumb and fifth splayed out to ensure they balance side by side in his hand, Katsuki returns to the table, lowering his arm and offering one cup to Eijirou's snatch. Damn, seeing him sitting there brings a rush of emotion in his chest, nostalgia over his handsome face once more on his home. Where it should be. He's gotten used to spotting that spiky red head poking up from his couch, glowing in the morning sun as he wakes beside him, matted down in the shower as he cards his hand through crinkle crinkle. Sharp teeth between his smiling lips, a happy grin with his continuous chatter. Broad shoulders and strong back heading down the hall towards their room. Tch... He really needs to ask Eijirou to move in with him soon.]
Oh? That means you don't have a problem staying up late tonight. [And all implications rolling on his tongue and tone as they draw a smirk to his face. As if Eijirou needs to be lured into sleeping in; Katsuki's the early riser between the two of them. No mention of wine selection; he's pouring tea into his own glass, amber liquid sloshing around to three fourths full.]
No one bought it. That old bag brought it over as a gift. [Said something about "save it for a special occasion" or some shit like that. Katsuki slips a piece of meat into his mouth, chewing actions messing with his annoyed expression. She likes messing around in his personal life too much.] Don't drink it if you don't like it, idiot.
[Hmph. Eijirou's making this annoying. He's the one who had the crush first! Katsuki hadn't given a shit about any of his classmates at first! Only really focusing on Izuku out of spite and anger. Things changed over time, taking more notice of a certain red-haired macho guy who rose to his equal. Interesting, stubborn, strong, amiable, patient, happy, confident, things slowly attracting him the more he experienced with him. From bothersome start to this... and now he wants the guy to move in with him. When they can do more than bump knees under the table.]
I chose to like you back, dammit! [Yeah, no he didn't. Crush punted him right in the heart, and it pissed him off when he realized he was liking Eijirou back. Fighting it became too much a pain and he eventually demanded a date. As if to prove his crush wrong! ... It wasn't wrong.] You're not sleeping tonight.
yeaaah, I was pretending like I didn't, you flirt.
[ Smack, a hand swoops to pat! Katsuki on the toosh as he walked by him- Red was sitting and the blonde strode right by with the drinks so easy target. Smilinggggg up at the owner of the apartment as he does so- Red Riot was no stranger to butt smacking his mates. Well, with consent of course! Usually he keeps his hands to himself!
The smile turns wry at the mention of staying up late. A playful glint in his eyes proves intention, but Eijirou is quick to feign innocence as he purses his lips, half thoughtful and half sour from the dry wine coating his pallete. Yuck, but also, mm? He grins a bit, shrugging broad shoulders at the sign of an invitation to stay over- ] I dunnooo... I've been staying over waaay too much, no? Your neighbors are gonna complain. [ With a sad POUT, the full grown man peeks up at his boyfriend- he wasn't fishing at all. ] They're gonna think there's funny business going on, wouldn't want that~
[ Red eyes follow Katsuki as he serves himself tea, how conservative- with a relaxed smile Eijirou leans into the cup of win, sips and cringes again- smacking his lips again. ] Mmmmmm, classy~ Heh, your mom picks them good. [ Per usual complimenting the lady as much as possible as he rubs the tint of wine off his lips with the back of his palm; putting the cup aside- ] ... I like it~ [ Sorta.] I'm just not a wine guy.
C'mon, sit and eat. [ He wont eat unless Katsuki does too, so he waits for the other to serve his tea, meanwhile admiring the way the blonde meticulously serves it, watching the way his right arm moves- he's recovered fully by now, proven to overcome the PT. Eijirou can't help catching himself staring at his scarred up arm though...
Eyes snap back up, smiling again-] hm? HEH-! [ Chuckling, a laugh that tickled up his broad chest up to his shoulders- he leans back into his chair with a scoff-] is that what you call it? I literally hounded you! All first and second year- admit it. [ He leans over in his chair aaaaall the way, smirking happily- teasing the blonde into submission-] addmiit i-- [ Pause. He smirks at the little threat at the end- an eyebrow hooking in question. His head tiiilts to the side, hushing between then-] oooh? You signed me up for Over Time or somethin'? mm?

Date: 5/21/25 04:55 (UTC)and i told you i was gonna be more romantic- in actions and in words!
[ It had been a new years resolution to "be more intentional" about being a great male example to his fans- and others- and that meant projecting healthy, romantic examples within a relationship!!!
The novelas were just lucky coincidence...]
its not random- i stated my facts, and I won!
yeeeaaaa but u admited that u thought i was cute when we were in UA and you didn't tell me-
so that means YOU held back feelings~ about~ me~ at some point.
before we even started kissing!
so i win.
oh
no
that was tlly smashed heh;;; BUT they found a replacement quick!
roger.
[ "What? You told me to?!" ... "OW!" Was usually the follow up to those morning glares.]
just checkin~
no subject
Date: 5/21/25 05:28 (UTC)[Which is somewhat permission? But dammit, he doesn't want him doing that kind of stuff in front of the public! People don't need to gawk all over their love life! HEALTHY! Not embarrassing!]
shut up! it was a rigged competition!
WHY DOES THAT MATTER?! I DON'T SAY EVERYTHING I THINK!!
I'M GONNA BLOW YOUR ASS THROUGH THE DAMN ROOF!!
[How's that for not holding back his feelings?! God, he's almost yelling in his seat!]
thought so.
you need to get the front more armor.
[He does tell him to. Then bitches about it. But always falls for it whenever they get amorous.]
no subject
Date: 5/21/25 05:52 (UTC)[ A win is a win with his earnest partner. Though, Eijirou is always been more inclined to enjoy their private relationship- well, privately. As a Pro he relishes in stolen glances across the field, little winks during PR meetings, and perhaps a very secretly done pat on the bum if he can afford it...
He's learned mostly from other Heroes experiences on openly exposing their love to the public- it was either a train wreck or a reason to be uplifted. Which, carried a lot of weight for a graduated Kirishima-- as always, letting his nerves take the wheel for a bit. They were two young men trying to be Pros, dating, together. A couple. So, Eijirou had always been the more 'conservative' of the pair when they were younger. Now? He's... recently become more... racy.]
hmmm some might say u say everything you think, babe.
THEY WONT RETURN OUR DEPOSIT???
naaaaaaaah
then it wont be a speedbike! it'll be....... a tractor.
i need to go fast! ziiip!
[ Ah, the biweekly squabble between the sheets of to bite "where everyone can see" or not- Red can be stubborn when he wants to be- his love bites were private.]
no subject
Date: 5/21/25 06:21 (UTC)Can't say he hates his boyfriend's willingness to be more brazen, but sometimes it embarrasses the hell out of him! Also because it turns him on despite his scrambling and snarling. And they've ended up making out in an elevator, alley, or car more than once in the past month. Stupid sexy bastard.]
i don't give a shit what they say! they're morons!
THEN DON'T PISS ME OFF!!
you can get stronger metal without compromising the weight or size as much.
ask deku. he has experience.
[Katsuki's not gonna leave bites where people can see. Which is a problem when your lover runs around with his pecs, abs, back, and neck showing all the damn time in costume!]
no subject
Date: 5/21/25 07:09 (UTC)Dynamight was a Hero who did things his way- very manly!- but it was one of the reasons the nosy cameras caught a whiff of their relationship. All over the news. One of those rare intimate moments gone viral. Not a total PR nightmare, but still stressful.
Now that everyone knew.....well, it made sneaking a kiss harder while on the clock! So, being more romantic when he could afford it seemed practically reasonable. And sexy.]
ur literally doing it rn!
u cant threaten to Howitzer me everytime i win an argument
oookaaay mr. #4 salary~
heh yeah ill hit up Midoriya in like 5 paychecks, babe.
[ Queue the "You have to stop biting me there... I CANT SIT DURING BRIEFINGS" talks.]
no subject
Date: 5/22/25 00:37 (UTC)He hated it when people invaded their privacy. Whether asking impertinent questions on a talk show or sneaking a camera some place it didn't belong for a stealth shot. Then again, Katsuki's always a PR nightmare, resulting in Best Jeanist and Eraserhead's multiple line faces and sweat drops...
Eijirou can be romantic whenever he wants to be, so long as he's willing to take the consequences if the explosive blonde's not in the mood.] Text
NO I'M NOT!
YES I CAN!
[His logical argument, ladies and gentlemen.]
urusei! i'll be number one before the year's up! watch me!
just fucking call and ask; he'll work with you.
[At least see what he has to say. "Then learn to stand" retort.]
no subject
Date: 5/22/25 03:59 (UTC)He's the sturdiest Pro Hero on the scene- until Dynamight shows up, he's prone to melting a bit as a result.
Though, just because he's more reserved in the public eye doesn't mean he won't check-in on Katsuki. He's the love of his life, and Eijirou is a literal worry wart- even though he knows the blonde is 110% fully capable- it doesn't stop Red Riot from showing up and lingering at a scene (outside of his patrol zone, tsk tsk) to make sure his partner is alright. ]
???? NO U CANT???
rmr we use our WORDS
[ He's being a brat- and its endearingly much like how he acted in high school. Red chuckles.]
i love that! i'm gonna look suuuuper cute standing next to the No.1~
haaaaaaa yea
maybe next month when stuff at the agency settles down;;
i can get home tonight- that's all that matters~
no subject
Date: 5/23/25 03:12 (UTC)DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!
I USE WORDS ALL THE TIME!!
[Dammit, now he has to sleep in the same bed as this guy! (And he always will, as much as he can.) Katsuki glares at the phone before stomping to the kitchen. What a brat.]
you've got your work cut out for you if you wanna be no.2.
do what you want. it's your bike.
i'll have your food ready when you get in.
no subject
Date: 5/23/25 05:59 (UTC)Except, the blonde took it as a challenge. He was stubbornly pushing back as always. And while Red took the slightly more conservative approach to PDA, his murder God wasn't so keen on holding off because "other people want him to."
So yes, when the masks are on- if Dynamight approaches him, Red feigns a manly, and polite "Hey, you!" with a wave or fistbump-- and when he's greeted with anything more personal he tends to blush if anyone is watching, smiling secretly and trying his best to shield them from the cameras. Some might say he worries for the both of them.]
IM NOT???
but u rlly can't blast me whenever u dont get ur way babe? 1. it doesn't work???
2. it messes up the apartment/car/office ect
hey let me get my agency going and get to Top 10 and i'll be counting myself lucky!
u and Todoroki get along right?
he can keep my spot warm for me~
are u gonna be awake?
[ Can you hear the big puppy tone, Blasty? He works long hours and he wants to see him, sue the man!]
no subject
Date: 5/24/25 01:00 (UTC)Yeah, there's no holding back from him. He blows up when people stick their noses in his business, whether they're fans, reporters, other heroes, whoever. He's dating Eijirou! Not them! Bastards.
But it's still fun to make his boyfriend blush from time to time, when Katsuki's in the mood to tease him.]
don't look down on me.
i can blast you without damaging anything!
[Will he? ... Probably not. But he can threaten!]
aim for the number one, dammit!
you can't be content with something lower.
HAA?! LIKE HELL WE DO! THAT HALF-N-HALF BASTARD'S LORDING IT OVER ME!
[He is not.]
don't ask stupid questions.
[He's always awake until Eijirou gets home.]
no subject
Date: 5/24/25 04:12 (UTC)The dark-gray cloud that visited him more often in high-school lingered at time- except now Eijirou was more experiencing with managing his self-doubt. A Pro at it! Some might say.
Don't tease the big guy too much in public or else he'll fall in love with him! ... Again! ]
i'm noooot~
i would never.
UR JUST BEING STUBBORN NOW lol
last time i checked ur not willing to SHARE the #1 spot babe???
i didn't say i would be CONTENT-- heck i'll be dam happy if my agency makes it to a year AND i can stay top 10. heh;; it's a lot of hard work.
NO HE'S NOT???
Todorokis super sweet and cool! don't be mean to him he's ur buddy
[ Does he love watching Katsuki still grouch about their friends? Yes.]
babeeee
OK omw t minus 12 min
love ya grumpy
no subject
Date: 5/24/25 23:18 (UTC)Psh, Katsuki can tease his man any time he wants in public! Red's lucky the blonde isn't much for teasing in public. He could be a menace if he had the personality or it.]
I NEVER LEARNED HOW TO GIVE UP, SHITTY HAIR
of course i'm not gonna share it!
but any rival of mine should be going for the top spot!
your agency's gonna be fine.
did you forget the size of you fanbase?
STOP PUTTING WORDS IN MY MOUTH!
he's a rival and that's that, dammit!
[Totally friends. Refuses to admit.]
yeah, yeah
get home safe or i'll kill you
no subject
Date: 5/26/25 02:14 (UTC)am I a rival now too??
babe do u think everyones your rival lol
EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING THAT???;;;
that's...
that's different!
[ He's well aware of the major size of his fanbase- and it is a responsability that he carries with him everyday! ALL THOSE EYES on him. All those parents sending him fan letters saying how their kids look up to him and He's so MANLY! That they wanna be 'just like him.'
It makes him blush with pride. But also, it's uneasy at times. All that pressure.]
yea him and Midoriya are your brfl
["Best Rivals For Life."]
romantic~
( ooc: BWAAA!!! lmk if u wanna fade it at any time or have them meet irl ꈍ◡ꈍ i love theeeeemm grown up so i'm down to keep going hehe )
no subject
Date: 5/26/25 05:36 (UTC)you've always been a rival, idiot!
you think i smash you with my howitzer cause i think you'll break?
NO I DON'T!
only people who can rival me. duh.
how's it different?
[Unfortunately Katsuki's pretty shit to his fans, meaning he loses a bunch of them, but the ones who-- like others in his class --think his aggression is a charm point, stick around despite his booms. Those are the ones at least worth keeping, since they're strong. He respects that. And the ones who fire back at him. Which sometimes is NOT a good result during interviews and public appearances.
He doesn't usually bother reading his own letters. Got better things to do. Sheesh.]
urusei!
don't say that kinda crap at me!
[Eijirou speaks the truth, but rawr!]
[ooc: Mwaaa!! i'm good with moving into irl if you're down for it. they can have some personal time together. yeah playing with their grown-up lives is nice, especially cause we got to see some of it canonly, haha. eijirou's adorable in katsuki's car.]
no subject
Date: 5/26/25 18:05 (UTC)His bright red bike revs as it waits for him to text back...]
its DIFFERENT ;;;
anyways
omw ilussssssssm
[ With a big grin he tucks his phone, slips on a helmet (yes it was red, with pointed horns on it!) and he hits the road. A bike just made sense to get to the scene much faster- of course, within the speed limit!
He makes quick work of getting home, he still has his apartment but Katsukis is much closer to everything-- and his bright red bike is parked right next to a rather posh looking, black luxury car. A little fancy for Eijirou but Katsuki was adamant it was the 'best' car- Red was sure it had nothing to do with the fact All Might had once had... a black car.]
Thank you for having meee... ~
[ He teases as he ducks into the apartment, opting for a friendly greeting every time instead of saying 'i'm home'-- it was very private building so he had not issue entering outside of his costume. And like per usual, his hands were filled with something- grocery bags, and his work laptop.
Eijirou perks up as he peeks his head in further, kicking off his boots- the only part of his costume that went with him everywhere-] hey, handsome- where are you?
no subject
Date: 5/27/25 00:24 (UTC)But seeing Red Riot as a rival doesn't do a damn thing to influence Katsuki's view of his boyfriend. He's not challenging Eijirou to make the bed faster than him (though he's far more a neat freak than Red) and he isn't pushing him to best him at shopping. His boyfriend's not a battle, and he's mature enough to separate the two.
You know, until a certain spiky-haired punk swats his ass or incites a competition over some little thing.
Katsuki doesn't text back; he almost always refuses to text his boyfriend when he knows Eijirou's driving (and rages if he finds out he was texting while doing so). Driving means calling. Voices. Other than that, get home safe.
Eijirou's red horned helmets as awesome as it is ridiculous.
Hey, he likes his sporty car! It looks great, is strong as heck, and didn't cost him an arm and a leg! (Just an arm.) But he's got a 15 year warranty on it locked in with lawyers seal of approval. Someday soon, he's gonna ask Eijirou to move in with him instead of splitting two apartments... but lingering preference for his own space continues to nag at him and makes him hesitate. He wants to, yeah, but also wants to make sure it'll be the best idea for both of them. Not purely an emotional decision crawling into his chest each time Eijirou walks over the threshold.]
In the kitchen. Lock the door. [Called out in case Eijirou forgets. The scent of fresh herbs and something almost icy lingers in the apartment air. He's finishing up with their dinner: bibim-naengmyeon, or "cold, spicy, chewy noodles". A welcome distraction from the late summer heat outside.]
no subject
Date: 5/27/25 02:51 (UTC)HIS HELMET IS AWESOME. Bright florescent red that rivals even his own hair, he's a speed (at the limit!) demon on his bike- and it's great for saving on gas! ]
... ? [ Red smirks at the order to lock the door- bemused, he does as he's told before shaking off his shoulder bag and jacket- humming ] yes, siiir. wouldn't want some evil THIEVES breaking in-
[ With a big smile he rounds the corner, chuckling as he gently puts his jacket over onf of Katsukis bar-counter chairs, feigning worry- pointy red brows knitting slightly and he juts out his lip like a pout- ] who knows what defenseless, young, handsome man lives in here... all alone~
[ His tongue peeks out in a tease because why not be a full grown man in his mid twenties and be silly, mlep- then Red lulls towards Katsuki, broad shoulders low as he sheepishly comes closer, right beside the blonde- chest bumping to shoulder, leaning to PLANT his face into the other mans cheek, humming into it- Eijirou never did outgrow that touchiness it seems.] hellooo, miss me? hm? why didn't you text back? ...mm, what's this?
[ Million questions per usual- red eyes peering into the noodles, toothy grin ad he scrunches up his nose- it smelled...] spicy!
no subject
Date: 5/28/25 02:43 (UTC)Look, sometimes the guy comes in and is too excited to see him or too busy putting shit down to remember a quick lock of the door behind him! Eijirou's got areas he's smart in, but he can also focus too hard on one thing. Good thing he doesn't hear that smarmy little comment about thieves.
Katsuki pulls a wad of brown noodles from a bowl of icy water, a few cubes clinking on the metal walls as water drips from his ball of buckwheat yarn. He gives it a few gentle bounces to shake the majority of water from it, then winds the wad around his fingers in a loose ball. Before plating it in the center of another bowl nearby.]
Fucking hilarious. Do you want me to feed you or not?
[That's a threat, lips dropping in a scowl. Does Eijirou really think he's immune to a snatched-away bowl of food? ... Most of the time he is. Big child. Bump goes a shoulder to shoulder as Katsuki brings the second wad of noodles home, both so cold they're already misting their concave nests.]
Oy! I'm working, dammit! [Does he try to shove him off or duck away? No. Only turns his head with a snarl before biting a certain someone on the cheek. Chomp. Plaster to him all you want, but don't get in the way while he's trying to get food in your gullet! Watch in awe as he spreads bright red pepper sauce paste over top each noodle ball, then crowns it with a handful of matchstick-cut cucumbers. Sesame seeds sprinkle. Half a hard boiled egg crowns. And a shallow moat of savory ice cold broth adds his final touch to the dish.] Cold noodles. It's called Bibim-naengmyeon in Korea.
[Similar to a soba dish from Japan, but tossed together rather than done piecemeal.]
You were driving. [As to why he didn't text back. A light notch of his elbow nudges Eijirou's abs.] Yours is mild.
no subject
Date: 5/29/25 06:14 (UTC)Heroes who could 'fly' or blast themselves across town had it so easy! Aka why he bought his red-hot street bike... He loved his explosive boyfriend, why wouldn't he favor an explosively loud and fast mode of transportation?]
heh, yeees? Why do you think I came over all the way here? For you dashing good looks?
[ Red smirks playfully, full of crap lie since he practically squatted at Katsukis apartment most days- to the threat of a scowl frown, he tilts his head to offer a sheepish smile, only to lean back just a tad-] ah, sorry sorry! Working man... my bad~
[ His upper body might have pulled back slightly- to give Katsuki some space, boo!- but to replace it his right arm finds a home on the blondes waist- gently attempting to sooth the other man with a silent apology, fingers drawing small circles against the small of his back. Always so touchy, Red.]
mmmm? wow this looks fancy--aaaauuuww-! ita, tatata--
[ Bite. He tenses, staying still as his eyebrows scrunch together in a pathetic smile- baring the dull pain of Katsukis cheek bite. He's use to them- but he knows better than to pull away. Bakugou was the type of hound to bite and not let go if you fight back.]
oow. mm, treat me gently! I just got here. [ He finally pulls away a step, giving the cook his space, and leans back onto the counter right next to him- they've both grown in so many ways, and with change came habits. Eijirou had grown taller, as per usual the sudden height spurt wavered some confidence and he's learned to stand tall-- but he mostly slouches a bit in the comfort of home. With broad shoulders, thick arms and a few inches on most standard Pros - slouching makes him look like a looming beast. So, he adopted the "Hero Stance"- and its regular to find Kirishima jerking up to straighten his posture-
He peeks down at the dish, stars in his eyes-] bwaaaa, this is so neat. I'm telling you- we should have Amajiki-san over! He'd love it! [ Red chirps, grinning big at the mention of his old senpai---
then Katsuki mentions the dishes name.
He squints, staring quietly before offering a crooked smile, a red eyebrow arching coyly-] are you... watching my Korean dramas, babe?
[ His romantic, late-night K-drama novelas! He must have- suddenly making Korean noodles.
He teases, and his smile grows wider at the offer of the 'mild' dish, HUMMING happily, the Pro leans back up off of the counter, purposely crowding Katsuki again because he can- because he wants to- and bounces a quicky smooch on his partners cheek, he grins at Katsuki again with a cool mischief in his eyes. Mild. ] .. ... you looking down on me?
[ There's a flirtacious quirk in his eye when he uses the others usual phrase. Red wags his brows as if silently saying 'are you?'? Because OF COURSE HE CAN TAKE SPICY (he'll regret it later!) ]
no subject
Date: 5/30/25 03:49 (UTC)[An order promptly ignored as fingers crawl across his belt line and a muscular arm winds about his hips for a possessive, tender embrace. Tch- ... fine, so long as he's not gonna interrupt his work crafting a culinary delight. Apology accepted. For now. Not because he thinks his boyfriend's cute, or because some spiky-haired warlock's drawing circles on his back's diamond.]
Urusei. [Half muffled on a smooth cheek as he eases his own brows in a satisfied revenge. Released, jaws relaxed, tongue flicking a sneaky sneak of a lick across Red's bitten cheek before he puts his attention back to their meal.] I am treating you gently.
[He'd be through the wall with smoke rising if he was the subject of rough treatment. Red drools down a yarn-wound pod of noodles, seeping one or two droplets into their icy broth. A shed of green cucumber scrunches under their capping hat of hard-boiled egg, topped with sesame sprinkles, and Katsuki proclaims it done. All that's left is tossing it at the table. If his boyfriend wants to stop looking like a fucking model resting on the counter like that.]
He'd be staring at the wall the entire fucking time. If he didn't shit himself at the invitation.
[Look, he respects the guy for his amazing work and ability as a hero. He also mocks him for not getting over his crippling anxiety and supreme shyness. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DAMN SENSE!!]
Why the fuck would I watch that crap?! Korean food has a lot of spices in it! I watch recipes! [Jeeze! He's not wasting his time picking food from dramas. Loser. A little "punt" of one foot knocks at Red's calf, encouraging him to get his muscular butt to the table for dinner. Not before a smooth blitz steals one off his cheek.] You--!!
[Kick kick kick!] Take your shit to the table and die, dammit! [Such a pain in the ass! Don't make him shoulder you towards the table, because he will if he has to. Standing here flirting with him like that.] Move. I know you like it mild; you don't have to eat it hot just to prove nothing. Enjoy your food.
[And heads for the table with his own. He doesn't get any satisfaction seeing his boyfriend crying over food he can't taste or enjoy eating cause it's too hot. Certainly not a fan of lava shits later. No, he makes things he knows Eijirou will like, and his own dish gets the heat. Simple as that.]

Date: 6/2/25 06:18 (UTC)[ The little lick to the cheek caught him off guard- Red SMILES, scrunching up his nose- because it was both cute, and dirty... in a good way. Which unintentionally riled up the Hardy hero-] Aaaaa-~! You're teasing me! Don't tease a man who's just left work, Tsuki- I'm tight wound after work, y'know? [ He chirps, taking a step to once again invade the blondes space, the hand that had been gently seeking to be forgiven earlier, now earning a new purpose- to paw at his partners waist before taking the chance now that Katsukis hands were both busy- aka semi lethaless- and he pats his boyfriends butt.
A "well done" toosh pat pat. Eijirou then hums, grinning when told he 'was' being treated 'gently.'] ... I might bite back~. [ Smileeeee. Pleased to see Katsuki pick up the plate to beeline towards the dining table-- not before kick kick kicking him on his way past. Red takes the kicking assault without batting an eyelash-- attempting to swerve around the kicking, pick up his plate, and nag back with a sheepish smile on his face. He lingers behind just for a second to sneak a few more precut cucumbers off the cutting board to add to his mouth- shh! Katsuki won't notice. His left cheek bulging like a hamster as he talks around the food-] don't be mean to Amajiki-san! He's great, plus he's waaaay better at that stuff. He thinks you're great!
[ "He has a personality disorder, Kirishima-kun." was more along the lines of what his senpai would tell him but that's neither here or there!]
AAAAND- it's not "Crap", it's art. And if you weren't such a log when you sleep, you might enjoy one or two episodes. It's romantic. [ Eijirou rambles as he tags behind his boyfriend with a pleased smile, crunch crunching the half a cucumber he put in his mouth. Talking with his mouth full-] Ah'I naow! I'mm... jush wanted- [ Swallows. Red chuckles as he shrugs a shoulder.] I just wanted to say it like you. It always sounds manly when you say it~
[ With a soft muted sound his ceramic bowl is set down on the table, but he waits for Katsuki to be the first to sit- hovering slightly, only for a moment until the other is seated and he can half bend over to truly kiss the other mans temple. Quiet, firm. Smiling as he pivots to sit himself down, Katsukis table was nice before he could easily drag a chair closer and sit near him enough for one of their knees to touch- and he always sits there.
His scarlet eyes lingering on the refreshing noodle creation- admiring the food- before he stops to look up and watch Katsuki takes his first bite instead- with an elbow on the table, chin propped to his palm he stares. ] ... you're too sweet to me. [ With a smirk, he leeeeans over a little, whispering-] it's like you got a crush on me or something~
[ with a heh!, Eijirou sliiides back to his bowl and SITS UP STRAIGHT- firmly exclaiming from the depths of his core-] thank you for the meal! [ He STABS the mound of noodles- and twists far too many at once- oh, such graceful dish was not meant for men like Kirishima- men who would demolish them in three mouthfuls.]

Date: 6/6/25 14:12 (UTC)You're one to talk. [Teasing him and everything. Coming up and embracing him, chin on his shoulder, standing so close he feels the warmth from Red's body ghosting through his clothes. Dammit, you know what they do when they're together! Some of it's sexy. A lazy smirk hooks the corner of his mouth and he cants his head an inch closer to be a pure 100% brat.] How tight?
[If his man's gonna talk potential double entendres before dinner, he'd better be ready for the consequences. Should've know this would backfire on him. Should've seen it coming. But nope! A second's all he gets with both hands claimed before a naughty paw goes for his ass, patting fine muscle and earning a yelp from the explosive hero.] Dammit! Go sit down before I slaughter you!
[Or fuck him on the counter. Either one works. Snarl. He'll bite back. Way to induce a shudder right up his spine. So many memories of those teeth on his body, from playful nips to full-blown orgasm-calling chomps. Don't think he didn't notice a cucumber thief! ... but Eijirou earned them, so nothing said. He hooks a foot round the leg of a chair and pulls it out halfway, enough to slide his butt onto the seat and take it properly.
Only to grumble a bit when lips nuzzle into his temple and a proper kiss is stolen and planted upon his head. Ugh, how many times does he have to tell this man to sit the fuck down and eat? He's the one who said he was hungry on the way over! Plate tabled, utensils procured, and now drinks (once his boyfriend's seated and thus "locked in" to his position). Up he gets.]
Uh-huh. Then you invite him and see what he does.
[Katsuki doesn't think it has shit to do with a disorder and more the guy won't buck himself up and learn to get over his damn shyness. Not like the guy's even mentioned some traumatic experience leaving him in such a way. Eijirou completely reinvented himself before coming to U.A., and that took a shit ton of soul searching, determination, practice, and other things he's pretty damn sure Amajiki could do if he wanted to put in the effort.]
Art crap. [There, amended his statement. Water, juice, wine (if Red's feeling fancy), and tea. A quartet of drinks return with him to the table and he once more seats himself to start in on the meal. Chopsticks dug into the noodles for a quick tossing before he brings a mouthful to his lips.] I'd rather sleep!
[Implying he'd watch some episodes half-asleep. Right. Slurping up the trail of noodles, Katsuki glances to the side with eyes resting on his body. A macho man, elbow on table, chin in palm, gazing at him with a sweet adoring expression. Ready to say a sweet adoring thing. The blonde's eyes flatten and his brows follow suit in a nonplussed visage. Someone has way too much love on his hands if he's gonna postpone food for this.]
Shut up and choke. [Said with such grumpiness even as a "stray" leg just so happens to move under he table and nuzzle his knee to the other man's. Nothing to see here, nothing to note or feel, not like he's happy with stupid words and warm heart talking sappy to him.] You had a crush first.

Date: 6/7/25 05:28 (UTC)[ Red is TURNING AROUND faster than his neck can snap, and he smirks (!!), squinting a little secretive how dare you while crunching on his stolen cucumber. He'll remember that one later.
Its not until he sits that Katsuki gets up- which makes the Hardy Hero turn to watch him move around the dining space, a wry smile growing on Eijirous face as he watched the blonde tend to them- to him. Katsuki was good at everything he did, and he looked great doing it too. Broad and toned, the way he moved so confidently around his own home, like he owned it (he did but still.) So, maybe he's smitten a little bit. Sue him! ] ... romantic art 'crap', mm. Thanks, babe. [ The drinks were a full circle of good choices and one dehydrating one-- Regular Eijirou would pick the tea; buuuut, with a pointed mischievous shine in his eyes he plucks up the glass of wine.]
I'm off duty tomorrow~
[ Red gives the blonde an animated wag of his brows as he takes a short sip; shuddering because wine wasn't his preference, but it took the edge off.] nmmm, yikes- who bought this? [ He SMACKS his lips. It was dry. But he takes another hard swing before putting it down, to smile back up to the other man--
He griiiiins at the incriminating words, You had a crush first, before offering a casual shrug and nod of his spiked head as if saying Yeah, you got me there. Turning back to the fancy bowl of food he pauses, and smiles wider- pretending he doesn't feel Katsukis knee under the table. As a Pro you have to become good at feigning things, sometimes it came with the costume- to play a part, and play along.
Playing along with Katsukis antics in private was his favorite.] ... yeah, but I got yoooou to crush on me back~ [ With the confidence of a man who got Katsuki Bakugou to date him, he SMIIILES from his seat, chewing with a sweet but shit-eating grin~~~]
sorry for the delay!
Date: 6/12/25 17:44 (UTC)Two glasses cupped in his fingers, deft thumb and fifth splayed out to ensure they balance side by side in his hand, Katsuki returns to the table, lowering his arm and offering one cup to Eijirou's snatch. Damn, seeing him sitting there brings a rush of emotion in his chest, nostalgia over his handsome face once more on his home. Where it should be. He's gotten used to spotting that spiky red head poking up from his couch, glowing in the morning sun as he wakes beside him, matted down in the shower as he cards his hand through crinkle crinkle. Sharp teeth between his smiling lips, a happy grin with his continuous chatter. Broad shoulders and strong back heading down the hall towards their room. Tch... He really needs to ask Eijirou to move in with him soon.]
Oh? That means you don't have a problem staying up late tonight. [And all implications rolling on his tongue and tone as they draw a smirk to his face. As if Eijirou needs to be lured into sleeping in; Katsuki's the early riser between the two of them. No mention of wine selection; he's pouring tea into his own glass, amber liquid sloshing around to three fourths full.]
No one bought it. That old bag brought it over as a gift. [Said something about "save it for a special occasion" or some shit like that. Katsuki slips a piece of meat into his mouth, chewing actions messing with his annoyed expression. She likes messing around in his personal life too much.] Don't drink it if you don't like it, idiot.
[Hmph. Eijirou's making this annoying. He's the one who had the crush first! Katsuki hadn't given a shit about any of his classmates at first! Only really focusing on Izuku out of spite and anger. Things changed over time, taking more notice of a certain red-haired macho guy who rose to his equal. Interesting, stubborn, strong, amiable, patient, happy, confident, things slowly attracting him the more he experienced with him. From bothersome start to this... and now he wants the guy to move in with him. When they can do more than bump knees under the table.]
I chose to like you back, dammit! [Yeah, no he didn't. Crush punted him right in the heart, and it pissed him off when he realized he was liking Eijirou back. Fighting it became too much a pain and he eventually demanded a date. As if to prove his crush wrong! ... It wasn't wrong.] You're not sleeping tonight.
no need to be sorry! no worriesss
Date: 6/14/25 06:57 (UTC)[ Smack, a hand swoops to pat! Katsuki on the toosh as he walked by him- Red was sitting and the blonde strode right by with the drinks so easy target. Smilinggggg up at the owner of the apartment as he does so- Red Riot was no stranger to butt smacking his mates. Well, with consent of course! Usually he keeps his hands to himself!
The smile turns wry at the mention of staying up late. A playful glint in his eyes proves intention, but Eijirou is quick to feign innocence as he purses his lips, half thoughtful and half sour from the dry wine coating his pallete. Yuck, but also, mm? He grins a bit, shrugging broad shoulders at the sign of an invitation to stay over- ] I dunnooo... I've been staying over waaay too much, no? Your neighbors are gonna complain. [ With a sad POUT, the full grown man peeks up at his boyfriend- he wasn't fishing at all. ] They're gonna think there's funny business going on, wouldn't want that~
[ Red eyes follow Katsuki as he serves himself tea, how conservative- with a relaxed smile Eijirou leans into the cup of win, sips and cringes again- smacking his lips again. ] Mmmmmm, classy~ Heh, your mom picks them good. [ Per usual complimenting the lady as much as possible as he rubs the tint of wine off his lips with the back of his palm; putting the cup aside- ] ... I like it~ [ Sorta.] I'm just not a wine guy.
C'mon, sit and eat. [ He wont eat unless Katsuki does too, so he waits for the other to serve his tea, meanwhile admiring the way the blonde meticulously serves it, watching the way his right arm moves- he's recovered fully by now, proven to overcome the PT. Eijirou can't help catching himself staring at his scarred up arm though...
Eyes snap back up, smiling again-] hm? HEH-! [ Chuckling, a laugh that tickled up his broad chest up to his shoulders- he leans back into his chair with a scoff-] is that what you call it? I literally hounded you! All first and second year- admit it. [ He leans over in his chair aaaaall the way, smirking happily- teasing the blonde into submission-] addmiit i-- [ Pause. He smirks at the little threat at the end- an eyebrow hooking in question. His head tiiilts to the side, hushing between then-] oooh? You signed me up for Over Time or somethin'? mm?
