Look

[Shinsou sighed, scratching at the back of his neck after putting his chopsticks down. ]

Just...don't be surprised if I come off as...I don't know....surprised that you actually want to go out.

[He doesn't talk about it, doesn't really wanna bring the mood down about the fact that relationships rarely end well for him. He's always waiting for the other person to leave him, he doesn't know what to expect and that scares him. It's nice that Bakugou seems interested for now but how long will that last? How long before he gets bored with Hitoshi? Before he gets tired of the guy even?

That being said that doesn't mean he's not gonna use this time while he has Bakugou's interest to the fullest. He will most definitely be asking Hizashi where it was they had gone so he could put in a reservation. He wants to be the one to take the other out this time.

As a way to sort of avoid talking more, Shinsou does much the same as the blonde. Cooking up some meat and enoki before wrapping them in cabbage. Anything to not start talking more than he really needed to be. ]

[blastedass]

[Bakugou arches his brow at the sudden interjection. Nothing "good" ever comes from a sigh-carried "Look" like that. He picks up another piece of meat from the grill, then sets it atop a grilled daikon disc before popping it in his mouth. Ah, so that's what Shinsou's worried about...]

How long are you gonna stay surprised?

[It's obvious that Bakugou's not only accepted going out with Shinsou, but also wants to. Enough to go on a second date as well. He's never really been one to think about relationships, considering things like dating or boy/girlfriends distractions from his studies and heroics. Yet here he is, sitting across from a boy he wants to be around in a restaurant having an actual date. No studies or heroics involved.

He can already guess the reason why Shinsou said what he did. Being surprised someone wants to date him. Likely doubtful of people's intentions towards him. Or feelings. It irks him slightly, but considering Shinsou's past and how people always viewed him with wary eyes, said what they thought was "better" for him, the guy's left feeling surprised he's attractive, valued, wanted. Fucking annoying...

Bakugou lays a few more pieces on the grill, understanding Shinsou didn't want to talk about this topic more than necessary. It's not like the blonde likes getting into these "feelings" things either. But at the same time, he's not one to back down from a challenge. Even if that's someone else's self doubts.]

Tch. Doesn't matter. I'll turn that surprise into acceptance. Watch me.

[personachords]

[ The question has Shinsou sort of staring down at his bowl of rice and he can't help the thinking: Probably always.

Because shit like that is hard to overcome and he's sure that by the time he starts to, Bakugou will change his mind. Shinsou's own insecurities will get to be too much and Bakugou won't want them holding him back and he'll leave. It's something that while he hates, Shinsou feels is inevitable so he'll just make the most of the time he does have with the blonde.

But then Bakugou says what he says and Shinsou can't help the grin that pulls at his lips. It's small but it's there and it's genuine. Trust Bakugou to be stubborn. ]

I'll just have to take your word for it.

[ He needs to change the subject...now. ]

So, what time is the movie showing?

[blastedass]

[He is stubborn. Stubborn enough to face down Shinsou's doubts one at a time over and over until the damn things finally back off and crawl into the shadows they came from. Perhaps he'll never be able to completely eradicate them.

There are things Bakugou deals with that won't ever go away either. Despite his maturity and growth, he'll always have that fragile pride and inferiority/superiority complex, even if they're both improving. Guilt, stubborn, regrets, he's had to accept he's not perfect. But when Bakugou sets his mind on something, there's extremely few things that can get him to stop.

None of those things are Shinsou's doubts. So he says what he says without a shred of question. It's a demand and Shinsou better sit down and brace for it. Cause that's gonna happen whether he believes it or not.]

We got another hour. [Said after he checks the time real quick.] The theater is ten minutes from here.

[Advertisements and trailers are a thing too, so they have a fair window.]

[personachords]

[ If Shinsou was honest, it's that stubbornness that made Shinsou actually take notice of the guy. Well beyond the loud abrasive assholery that was Katsuki Bakugou's attitude. After seeing him more and seeing how he interacted with others it became clearer to Hitoshi that the blonde was much more than everyone was willing to see.

So he'll take that stubbornness gratefully. ]

Cool.

[ He checks his watch as well before proceeding to stuff more food into his face, glad that the silence that follows doesn't have to be classified as 'awkward'. He's pretty content, even if he's still trying to come to terms with what the blonde had been saying about sticking around and making Shinsou realize that he was what? Desirable? ]

[blastedass]

[The same thing is in reverse. Bakugou initially dismissed Shinsou for being a lame butt-hurt idiot like that 1-B asshole, jealous over people with stronger Quirks and better prowess. But seeing the truth at the Sports Festival, both Shinsou's Quirk on full display and his determination to become a hero despite everything he went through, Bakugou was silently impressed. That kind of determination is nothing to scoff at, especially standing up to "life" itself and everyone who ever said "you can't" to him.

Hitoshi is a hero. He saw that even more in the Joint Training. Kind, logical, intelligent, stubborn, competitive, realistic, adaptable, determined. He really came into his own.

And adding that muscle to bulk up didn't hurt him either. Damn. A body on top of his looks.

Bakugou layers up another meat/vegetable combo and pops it in. The restaurant's steady flow of their different ingredients kept the grill cooking and the food in variety. It's why he likes these places; you're not stuck with an awkward silence so much, since there's something to keep you busy and focus on if things simmer down.

Yes, Shinsou. You're desirable.]

[personachords]

[ For now Shinsou would agree to disagree on the idea of being 'desirable' if only because he has way too many hang-ups that he doesn't want to get into. But, it's nice to know that someone is ready to disagree with him on that point. Someone is ready to fight him and his own self-doubts.

The food is an incredibly good distraction, however, it tastes good and smells amazing. Even the spicier stuff that Bakugou grabs smells fantastic. It's easy to get distracted when there's good food and a good looking guy across from him. So he doesn't even worry when he's setting about making himself something of meat wrapped in cooked cabbage with a chili oil.

Definitely good food. He really needed to tell Aizawa about this place. It's after a little while that he finally sits back, chopsticks down and instead just drinks his tea. Way too full to continue. At first he thinks about trying to start some small talk but in the end decides against it in favor of just resting his chin on his hand, watching the blonde instead. ]

[blastedass]

[Disagree all he wants. It's not like Bakugou's never had to deal with someone trying to tell him he's wrong about something. And he fucking deals with them. Either shouting them down, or if that doesn't cow them, proving without a doubt why he's fucking right. How he'll go about that with Shinsou is a long-term battle, but "give up" is not in the blonde's toolbox of skills.

Luckily their order wasn't beyond their stomachs and Bakugou ends up being the one to finish the last pieces left in the bowls while Shinsou settles back to sip his tea. He's unwilling to veer too far into the "hurt me" round when it comes to food, but taking things home isn't usually permitted in a grill like this. Bakugou indicates the check as the grill's clicked off and spends the remaining time polishing off his final cooks on the proverbial coals.

No need to start a conversation. They've had heavy enough. He reviews the ticket, judges it correct, pays for the meal with his card, and folds the receipt into his wallet to be processed later against his credit. Then it's gathering their things and getting out of the booth without banging a knee on the setup beneath.] Where'd you learn to cook?

[He noticed Shinsou wasn't bad at handling his food on the grill. Didn't burn things or slop them around the rim. Elements that someone wasn't a novice in the kitchen.]

[personachords]

[ Well we all know that shouting at Shinsou won't do much other than leave him smirking because, honestly, Bakugou doesn't intimidate him as much as he does others. At least not on the surface. He knows that the blonde is like him, striving to prove that he is a hero in his own way. ]

Hm? Oh...I mean I just sort of watched stuff online or on tv and kinda...taught myself?

[ He knows the basics and while he might not be able to make some five star meal, he can fend for himself. Always had until more recently. He knows more than he lets on, but it's not a passion or anything. It can just be fun, even more so when he can impress friends...or he would like to eventually do something like that. He's getting there since the sports festival and more people being more open and understanding with him. ]

[blastedass]

[Doesn't stop Bakugou from being as loud as he normally is. Though Shinsou is capable of calming down and diverting the explosive blonde more than others. Boyfriend privileges. So long as he can continue to intimidate villains, Bakugou will have to deal with begrudgingly understanding inside those not!friends of his aren't scared of him. much.]

Guess we can cook in when you spend the night.

[Generally Bakugou likes to handle the food he's making for himself in the kitchen, rarely letting anyone else help or much less cook for him. His own perfectionism and pride get in the way. But judging what Shinsou could do on the grill made him feel far more willing to acknowledge his boyfriend's culinary aptitude, so hence the invite to cook alongside Bakugou when they're together. It's a rare offering he hardly gives anyone else who hasn't proved themselves.

And if it's with Shinsou... he's glad. Spending time with him is a comfort Bakugou doesn't really voice, but enjoys all the same.]

[personachords]

[ Uh huh, not!friends. Totally. Like he doesn't work great with them and keeps them safe in his own way. Sure.

Keep tellin' yerself that blasty.

But really, that's one of the things that Shinsou likes about Bakugou. He doesn't show his full hand and he's definitely not openly affectionate with many...if any. ]

Oh? Yeah that could be fun. Dinner and just hanging out and watching something?

[ To be fair, Shinsou would still probably mostly stay out of Bakugou's way. He knows how Mic can get with his spaces and he doubts Bakugou is much better. That being said that isn't to say he wouldn't still be happy to spend time with the other in said kitchen. ]

[blastedass]

[Hey, he works with them because that's the mission he's given and keeping them safe ensures his team walks away with a complete, uncontested victory. That's all there is to it. Right.

Shut up.

Shinsou likewise has traits that Bakugou admires. His pride and determination, his growing skill and non-buddy-buddy attitude. His quiet affection despite being passionate about things he likes. They compliment each other well.]

Yeah. As long as it's not something boring or stupid.

[Bakugou's a prickly guy unless he actively wants someone to be around him. Then the spikes retract because that's what he decided and it's not seen as an invasion. Shinsou's work at the grill earned him that much. He'll be fine. Bakugou can work around someone if he has to. He doesn't think Shinsou's going to trip him up.

Plus more time spent with him, so yeah. Double win.]

[personachords]

Tell ya what, I'll let you pick. I only say....no All Might documentaries? If I wanted to watch my boyfriend gush about his hero I'd date Midoriya.

[ It was an obvious tease, one that Shinsou hoped actually landed of course. ]

Other than that I don't care what we watch...something tells me you'll loose concentration on it about half way through?

[ Or Shinsou himself might fall asleep. But who could blame him? Watching movies in his boyfriends room? Definitely sounds like the best way to let himself nod off for once. Maybe he'd even get to use Bakugou as a pillow if he's lucky. ]

[blastedass]

What the hell?! I'm not gonna be doing a date like that damn nerd!!

[Rawr at the very suggestion! Definitely a landed tease, considering watching All Might documentaries would be their classmate's date suggestion, wouldn't it. Midoriya and his overbearing nerdiness fanboying nature.

... thought it's not like Bakugou doesn't have All Might documentaries recorded and/or lined up on download to watch. No, they'll watch something cool, like an action or a thriller or maybe even a heist film if it's got some bursts of adrenaline. Bakugou likes to get pumped during a movie.]

Urusei. I'm not going to pick out something that I'll get bored with.

[That said, there are other reasons Bakugou would lose concentration on something. Like being seated next to his boyfriend in close proximity. Then again, if it's late, odds are they might just nod off next to each other. He wouldn't entirely mind either way.]

[personachords]

Oh good, though...the idea of seeing you gush over your favorite hero might actually be....endearing.

[ No he's not pushing the envelope and calling it cute, even if that's what it would actually be. ]

You might not get bored but I might get too comfortable. I'll have to make sure I don't nod off.

[blastedass]

I don't gush. Ever.

[Cue a stink eye towards Shinsou for even suggesting the idea. Though he will certainly defend All Might and other important topics with aggressive threats/effective counters if he feels the urge to.

Including Shinsou. Which he has done once or twice. The opposer didn't survive.]

Damn. Not like I'd ever want you to sleep next to me.

[The mock drone he runs that out with gives all the clarity needed.]

I can carry your sleeping ass to bed without waking you.

[personachords]

Makes sense, you don't seem like the type to willingly.

[ The defending violently he can see, though he hasn't heard about the blonde standing up to him yet.

Color him charmed if he ever does. Not used to someone doing that for him. ]

Aw really? And here I thought maybe you were secretly a cuddler. You sure you could carry me that easily? I mean I may be no Kirishima but I'm still taller than you.

[blastedass]

I DON'T GUSH EVER!!

[He's dying on that hill! Willingly or not! And yeah, he's stood up for Shinso to a few people who questioned his validity as a hero with the Quirk and skill he has. It's not like Bakugo's Quirk would be seen as exceptionally heroic at first take either. But he's never had much an issue with that since he grew up with everyone around him knowing he intended to be a hero so intensely, there was no doubt.

Shinso fought against far heavier doubts and push back, yet still strove to be a hero. That's not something Bakugo ignores. It just makes him more attracted to his boyfriend.]

Che! [Tosses the cuddler coming right over his shoulder. Not a cuddler. But he will put an arm over Shinsou when they sleep.] Of course I can carry you! You may have bulked up, but you're not a ton.

[personachords]

Alright alright.

[ Hands up in a placating manner, he knows when to stop pushing even when he's being playful about it. Not everyone appreciates it.

As for cuddling it's fine, Shinsou is enough of a cuddler for the both of them. He's like a cat when it comes to cuddles, very selective people get them. ]

Yeah? Maybe you'll just have to prove it one day. I believe you can carry me, but without waking me up?

[blastedass]

[Damn right! Bakugou's never really liked cuddling. He has a tolerance for it and Shinsou can get away with it for a while if the blonde's in the mood. But eventually things get hot or boring and he wants to move.

It's because Shinsou's selective however that Bakugou tolerates it more with him. Kind of a badge of honor. Though sometimes "cuddling" is just flopping onto Shinsou's lap on the couch while he reads or something.]

I'll prove it tonight if you keep pushing. [Wow, what a threat.] Tch, if you were sleeping I'd put a blanket over you.

[Shinsou's rest is important. Eyebags...]

[personachords]

[ And Shinsou knows all too well when Bakugou has had enough and is more than happy to let him have his space. While it's a badge of honor for Bakugou that Shinsou has decided he's one who gets cuddles, Shinsou feels like it's even more of an honor to be tolerated by Bakugou. Just one more reason they work together. ]

Promise?

[ Another reason. Shinsou really is only a flirt with his boyfriend. ]

Heh, you know how to make a guy feels special.

[blastedass]

[They might be two different variety of cats, but they're both cats. Comfortable together, but not needing to always be in each other's spaces, knowing when distance is needed. Bakugou's pretty damn convinced that Shinsou's only going to pick up even more popularity as he goes further in the hero course.

It's not like Kaminari was lying when he noted Shinsou was an attractive boy. Bakugou's going to be giving a number of people the murder glare if he finds them looking at his boyfriend too long...]

Uh-huh. Think you can handle it? [He'll take the solo flirt with pride.] You really want me to wake you up just to go to bed?

[personachords]

[ Too bad for anyone who would look that Shinsou is a very loyal person. The only way he'd even think about someone else is if Bakugou got the idea too.

But that's a different story. ]

Oh I definitely think I could handle you, but no...if I actually manage to fall asleep. Just leave me there.

[ He holds up a finger as if he just thought of something. ]

Unless I'm at risk of getting written on by Kaminari or Sero.

[blastedass]

[Definitely a different story. Bakugou wouldn't be the one to bring up the idea, but he'd listen if Shinsou did. (If it took this much just to find one person he was interested in like this, whoa on a third.) Still, not like a lot of their classmates are unattractive.]

I'll make sure you're comfortable wherever you fall asleep.

[Whether that's tucking him in or covering him up or sleeping on the couch if Shinsou's already on the bed. Well, maybe he'd just be careful getting in so as to not wake the other hero.]

Tch. They're the ones at risk by writing on you.

[Bakugou'll put them through the damn wall.]

[personachords]

Too good to me.

[ It's mostly a joke but also, not. Of all the ways Shinsou might have imagined Bakugou to be in a relationship, this was not it. But he was definitely pleasantly surprised. The guy was sweet in his own way, even if it wasn't so readily noticeable to other people. ]

Yeah? Gonna protect me from the idiots with markers?
