[Manjoume takes note of the widened eyes, and for a second he feels a little smug that he managed to get that reaction out of the other boy, as slight as it was.

But then Bakugou calls him an idiot, and for that split second before the other moves, there's that momentary feeling of fear. One that wedges into his chest like a sudden splinter, slight as that is too, that Manjoume's about to be laughed at or rejected. Things he won't be reacting all that well to if both are done at the same time.

The fingers in his collar go to pull him in though, not to push him away, and just that one simple action even before their lips meet is actually all it takes to ease that splinter back out--Manjoume can be a little thick sometimes, but he's not so dumb that he can't guess what Bakugou is about to do. And he accepts it, allows it easily. (Though it is Manjoume's first kiss, so it is perhaps a little awkward.)

There's still a little embarrassment though once the other lets go and lets him sit back again momentarily (albeit not as far back as he had been before), his face even pinker than before.]

Hey, at least I actually said something here first. You could have just as easily confessed to us sooner if you felt the same, you know.

[blastedass]

[As controlled with his emotions (most of them) as Bakugou says he is, even if he'd been prepared for it, there's something about another guy saying he likes you and wants to date you that just spears right through all that armor and lands a hit in the chest. Probably helped with the reality Bakugou actually likes the guy back...

He recognizes that brief flicker of fear. Baka. Really. As if Bakugou would call him all the way up here after their texts just to turn him down. What a waste of time and effort that would be on his part. The young hero already knew his own answer before Manjoume opened the fucking door. What he wanted... was to see how serious the duelist was about it. So he could respond in kind and leave no shred of doubt in Manjoume's mind that he was wanted in return.

Complete and undisputed victory.

No need for words. Just a grab, haul, and kiss. Won't admit it, but it's his first as well. There's a tiny skip of his heart, knowing even with an "i like you" confession, Manjoume never agreed to get hauled in bodily for a kiss so suddenly. Could get punched... but instead, Bakugou's not only accepted, but allowed and returned.

Doesn't matter if it's awkward; Manjoume kissed him back.

Bakugou eases off, leaving his hand to slide down the front of the duelist's coat and end up on his own lap again. He rests his chin on his fist, elbow cruxxed in his knee. Can't stop the brief flick of his tongue across his lower lip. Or the faint sakura color under his eyes. Dammit...]

So you want me to steal your thunder next time. Got it.

[Oh yeah, that was deliberate.]

[thundercrashes]

[So Manjoume may have found his gaze dropping briefly to the movement of the other's tongue across the bottom lip, but his gaze comes back up proper as he gives Bakugou an unamused look.]

That's not what I was saying and you know it.

[But he doesn't actually make a demand for Bakagou to say it too, that he likes Manjoume and so on and yes, they are dating now. The kiss was enough of an answer to make that obvious.

Pretty sure that's why he can get away with very noticeably staring at the other's mouth more like he had been a second ago: they're boyfriends now so hey, that's allowed now without it being too weird, right.]

[blastedass]

[As soon as that grumpy expression appears on his face, Bakugou's turns into a smirk quite the opposite. Figured he'd rub a nerve. Too bad. Taunting Manjoume with his preferred nickname was never gonna get old.]

Uh-huh. [There are a lot of reasons he could claim as to why he didn't voice up to his own feelings, but what good would it do to bring them up now? Besides, he always felt actions spoke louder than words, and were usually less embarrassing since they were, arguably, over faster...

That kiss was his answer and should've said everything he had to. For now. Bakugou's not silent by any means. He'll probably say things in the future. And definitely notice the way Manjoume's looking at his mouth again.]

You better make some time this weekend.

[They're gonna have their first date after all. But before that... Bakugou leans over, this time not grabbing or yanking Manjoume, instead simply bringing himself in and tilting his head to find his mouth once more. A lighter kiss, less forceful and demanding, more to explore this new between them.]

[thundercrashes]

Funny, I was about to say the same thing.

[They are absolutely having their first date as soon as possible... god willing no last minute bullshit happens involving supervillains and/or card games get in the way of that.

He is going to be extremely pissed otherwise by that kind of bad timing.

But then Bakugou is kissing him again, this time with more gentleness than Manjoume might have actually expected of the other boy. Not that he's complaining--far from it, in fact, as he finally lifts one of his own hands up to rest on Bakugou's arm heree so that he can tilt his head, and get a better angle for it from where he's sitting.]

[blastedass]

[Luckily with their massive nation-ending and world-destroying wars out of the way, it should be a quiet weekend. If any villain did show up to interrupt his date, Dynamight would be cracking a fucking skull as fast as possible to get back to what he really wanted to do.

Bastard trying to mess up his first date... It'd be a near fatal mistake. Delta Hurricane that bitch.

Thoughts a little further from mind right now as he leans into the kiss. One part completely focused on the sensation and feeling, one part taking in all the details he can. A hand settles on his arm and he subtly lifts it into the touch, muscle hardening on instinct as Manjoume tilts his head to better fit into the touch.

Finally breaking it with a soft breath.]

Better...

[thundercrashes]

[Manjoume would almost want to see Bakugou kick ass on their date if it happened... provided that Manjoume is not made the damsel in distress or some stupid shit in this hypothetical scenario. That would just be humiliating.

But enough thinking about hypotheticals when they could be focusing on the present.]

Good.

[Manjoume actually smiles now, one of his rare softer expressions after hearing Bakugou's praise. He doesn't remove his hand from the other's arm, but he does lean back a bit again as he suddenly remembers their forgotten bentos that had been put aside.]

Should we continue this after we finish eating? The food's going to get cold otherwise.

[blastedass]

[If he wants to kick on that Duel Disk and help out with with some battles, he's welcome to go for it. But Bakugou's going to do his damnest to end that annoying interference as fast as possible. (If Manjoume ends up the damsel in distress, that's his issue.)

The kiss broken, some of that first-time spell also fades. Bakugou's pushing the fluttery feeling back down in his guts. No way is he going to admit he's got any of that going on.

THAT SOFTER SMILE DOESN'T HELP HIM DO THAT!!

Ugh, bastard probably doesn't even realize he's doing that. Bakugou sits back against the fence, arm flexing under Manjoume's hand. Right, they have food sitting around them in various states of consumption...]

Mine wasn't heated up in the first place.

[thundercrashes]

[Maybe back in first year, Manjoume would not care about letting food potentially go to waste because, well, he was rich, he can just buy something again twice over for both of them, but now he sighs and forces himself to lean back further instead of spending the rest of their lunch kissing his new boyfriend.]

Even so, we should probably at least finish eating first while we still have time up here.

[blastedass]

[Wow. The epitome of maturity. A rich boy who now gave a fuck about not wasting food. Bakugou would've given him shit about wasting food, however. He's a responsible kind despite his delinquent attitude. Once Manjoume decides, he takes his seat beside him again and pulls his bento back into his lap to continue eating. Though does silently hold his chopsticks out with a piece of eggroll between them. Should his boyfriend want to take a sample...]

After dinner, wanna get a movie or game, or want something more active?

[Weekend date plans already.]

[thundercrashes]

[Oh... well, if Bakugou is offering, then Manjoume is accepting as he eats the sample of food being offered, before holding up his own chopsticks with a sample from his bento to offer in return.]

I haven't been to a movie in forever, so I have no idea what's playing that might be good, unless you know of one you wanted to see. Otherwise, I'm game for just about anything.

[He's already secretly pleased just by the fact that it's going to be a date as it is.]

[blastedass]

[No one else would get such an offering and Bakugou would've sneered at someone offering him the same in return. But considering he just kissed Manjoume and they're gonna be dating, well... boyfriend privileges unlocked. So he takes the bite, using his teeth to hold it rather than dragging his lips across his chopsticks. Some decency exists.]

Action, hero, heist, any of those three are good for me. [Romances, comedies, dramas, documentaries will all bore him. Might as well start categories and narrow it down from there.]

[thundercrashes]

Really? You don't get bored by those premises, despite already living the life of a hero yourself?

[This isn't a snub, by the way, this is Manjoume being genuinely curious--he likes playing Duel Monsters, but he himself might get bored if all he ever watched was movies about the game. (But then again, this is the same guy who is secretly a sucker for romance movies thanks to the amount he's likely ended up watching with Fubuki-shishou, so maybe his opinion on movies should be regarded with a grain of salt here.)]

[blastedass]

Hell no! [Says the guy who grew up on All Might cartoons and movies. Heroes for life!] That shit's exciting and keeps my attention. It's even better knowing I might get to replicate something I see in them.

[That's him, wanting to jump over a car and knock down a bank robber or defuse a bomb like a badass. Actually he'd prefer people not get in trouble, since heroes shouldn't actively wish for villainous things to happen, buuut...

Why be a hero with the intent to never be a hero?]

You don't watch high-stakes Dueling films?

[Sure Manjoume's literally played high stakes Duel Monsters, but you know, sometimes fiction can be crazier than real life. Sometimes. (You might be able to talk him into a romance film, Manjoume. Might. Rarely...)]

[thundercrashes]

Not all that often: I watch high stakes tournaments, of course, but the problem with movies is in how the outcome of the match is already predetermined because a movie script dictates who is supposed to win for the sake of the plot. It kind of kills the fun sometimes when you remember that the two duelists you're watching are just acting, at least for me.

[Like one of those people who hates watching sports and prefers playing them instead.]

[blastedass]

[Bakugou's giving him a flat expression. Talk about someone who over analyzes his movies.]

That's the point of a movie, dumbass. You suspend that part of your brain for a bit.

[He knows, going into a hero film or a heist film, that the "good guys" are going to win or succeed in the end. That's part of the understood aspect of watching fictional stories. No one likes to leave a movie feeling sad, disappointed, upset, or basically shit. Great way to fuck up your date too.]

Though I guess they don't make Dueling movies with world-at-stake plots as often as Hero films battling villains out for world dominion.

[No, he gets where Manjoume is coming from. Same as how he rolls his eyes at comedies or romances because why not just go outside and try life for yourself instead of watching someone else's?

Now that he's sitting here beside the start of his own first romance...]

[thundercrashes]

Well sorry that I don't just turn off parts of my brain like that so easily.

[... There's a joke/insult thats begging to made here about this statement coming from Manjoume of all people, probably.]

But yeah, they don't make as many movies with that kind of plot. At least not anything on the level of some of the actual worlds-at-stake insanity that has actually occurred in reality somehow.

[blastedass]

Seriously? Seemed like you'd be great at turning off parts of your brain.

[Bakugou's mouth slinks up at the corner, shooting back a taunt for that implied insult/tease. Look, if his new boyfriend's gonna fire shots, far be it from him to not keep Manjoume on his toes.]

Yeah. Most Duelists wouldn't see it as a world-ending tool.

[Few people knew the reality behind Duel Monsters. Likely on purpose.]

If you wanna see something, just say so.

[thundercrashes]

Hey, fuck you.


[... We say, lovingly. Now that we're dating...]

What if I said I wanted to see a romance flick? What would you say to that?

[This is genuine curiosity here more so than a demand for Bakugou to agree to that idea.]

[blastedass]

You wish.

[Complete with a smirk because he knows exactly what Manjoume was meaning. Why not embarrass him some? Of course, the follow up question right off that just had to be romance, didn't it. Ugh...

Bakugou shoves a piece of food in his mouth.]

Seriously?

[That's both reaction and answer. Not a refusal, but obviously not Bakugou's preference. Still, they're dating now, so he's not gonna bully the relationship into one-sided shit.

His mom didn't raise a savage.]

[thundercrashes]

Well I guess that answers that question.

[Is he disappointed? A little, but not enough to actually be that bothered by it: people have their preferences and all that.]

So I guess that does just leave something action oriented that will work for both of us.

[Although, there is always horror or comedy. That first one in particular is often prime fodder for getting your date to hold your hand just as much as romance movies can, but then again, they'd both probably turn this into some kind of pissing contest on who gets rattled easier than the other.]

[blastedass]

If you wanna see one, just fucking say so!

[It's not the first time Bakugou's ever had to grit his teeth and do something he was opposed to. Then again, most of his classmates would just tell Manjoume to taunt his boyfriend's pride. Because you know, romance films aren't for every guy out there; only those confident in their masculinity and emotional control need apply for such movies.

Though here's warning Manjoume that Bakugou can get competitive... and he'll totally try to outdo a romantic film's date like his boyfriend might've been more taken with the movie's.]

There's three right now. A spy one, a car one, and a martial arts one.

[Action films at least. Horror and comedy will have to wait, since they're probably not the best thing to have a first date on. Especially since, yes, it would turn into a competition of sorts. Someone'll probably get popcorn in his hair.]

[thundercrashes]

No no, far be it for me to force you to watch something you don't want to. Especially if you're not feeling confident in proving that you're a real man for being able to sit through one.

[See, don't worry, he was prepared to potentially make this rude comment.]

A spy or martial arts one might be alright. I'm not all that interested in cars... unless it's anything like those one movies with all the high speed car chases and heists. That series is usually pretty entertaining, until they start going on and on about friendship and family, anyway. Then it gets kind of annoying during those parts.

[Damn Manjoume, tell us how you really feel about the Fast and the Furious movies.]

[blastedass]

Haa?! [Bakugou's eyes widened, brows arching at the insulting dig towards his "manliness" over a fucking movie. If looks could act, he'd have Manjoume against the fence.] You trying to say something, dammit?! I can sit through a stupid romance film!

[Why does that work so well with other people? It's like they know him or something.]

What other kind of car movie is there? [Bakugou gave him a strange look. No one's going to sit there watching a 90 minute documentary on a car in a theater. Any car movie's gonna need action to made it interesting.

Right, because you're so much manlier than Dom and co, aren't ya, Manjoume.]

[thundercrashes]

Oh, really? I suppose we would have to go see one then in order to prove that for certain...

[Did Manjoume really manage to connive his way into getting Bakugou to take him to a romance movie, or is he just being kind of a brat... maybe both. Probably both.]
