anyways. have a picture. bakugou's wearing the shirt in front of his mirror, the image of his mouth down to the counter, showing the shirt with him lifting the hem up around his lower stomach.
though since it's denji... the visible arch of his pelvis and start of his v-lines before the counter cuts them off suggests there's nothing else on.]
of course he didn't read whatever bakugou shared along that picture; it was nothing but a blur and the half-devil was busy abusing the 'zoom' feature on their device. for reasons. educational, scientific, and justified reasons.
this is so ........... naughty. like, it actually made him blush while it looks so timid in theory?? he's confused. this is coming from a guy who probably watched every porn video available on the internet, owned racy magazines, full nudity and all— but denji is learning something new about himself.
maybe he liked to be teased. ]
keep the same pose, but share a closer shot of the shirt.
[there's something to be said about rendering the important guy in your life completely speechless for a few seconds with a simple picture. kind of like a good-natured sucker punch, right?
damn, denji. calm down. he's not a piece of meat.
... okay so maybe that's a bad comment in this situation.
does bakugou realizes he's likely turning into denji's gay sexual awakening? somewhere in his mind he is, but he's fine leaving things up to denji's pace. it's kind of interesting, watching him "deal" with that reality. not that bakugou's ever thought much about his own sexuality until recently.
but he knows it's fun to tease denji.]
can't zoom in on your own?
[but he does, sending a picture of the front of the shirt's emblazoned message, mostly everything else "cropped" out by the frame. though if denji's looking to get an outline of bakugou's pecs under the shirt... you're welcome.]
[ listen, he likes bakugou as a person. a lot. more than he ever thought it was possible.
he trusts him enough to explore and he is genuinely intrigued and fascinated by this new curiosity. but, let's not pretend he's not sexualizing the hero here. maybe not as bad as giving bakugou no credit and reducing him to nothing more than a piece of meat to salivate on (another bad comment in this situation) — but denji is almost 95% motivated by physical appeal here.
is this bad? probably. yet, denji likes to believe that's the whole point of them redrawing the line. he was honest and will always be. he trusts bakugou to smack him on the head if it gets too much.
the other picture is just as lewd and it prompted a lazy smirk on his flustered face. it's been a while since their last time, huh? was he supposed to wait for them to go on another date to break the law of boundaries again?
that's something to think about tonight. ]
happy birthday, no.1 hero. the shirt looks amazing on you. i have great taste.
[the attraction goes the same way in reverse, even if it's a little slow and letting denji be a guide for it. the more time he spends with the half-devil however, the stronger it's getting.
thing is, denji's proven to him a long time ago that he's not some shallow asshole who would just sexualize him and treat him like nothing. meaning that when the guy does... like now... bakugou's not offended. more amused, definitely interested, and kind of curious to see what denji's gonna do with it.
bakugou said he was going to redraw the line. and he did redraw it. there in the shower, when things went from clean water to something more heated and closer to intimacy. but yeah, he'll punch denji on the head if things go past comfort level.
as for right now, it's more fun to tease denji and see what he does. no, they're past "date only" shenanigans now. otherwise bakugou wouldn't be doing this in the first place.]
so it was you.
[he had suspicions... but wanted to confirm first.]
[ he's not sorry. and it's a good thing bakugou is fine with extending indulging in sins past the 'set a date' territory because that's what denji has chosen to do as well. there is no harm in testing his luck and making it a habit around his beloved hero. he will— save those two pictures now, thank you very much. if bakugou gets a notification that it has been saved, he will not deny it. denji is merely appreciating a nice picture. what is wrong with that?!
nothing. that's right.
he should confess about spreading the word, but he's certain bakugou figured it out by now. everyone should wish him a happy birthday because the hero deserves it; another thing he's not sorry about. ]
Let's do something. Once everyone calms down and leave you alone.
[ a pleasant way of saying: " gonna need the hype to die down so you can focus on me only". ]
[couldn't have put 'bite me' on there or something, dammit?! that was somewhat cool. look, as prickly as bakugou is, he wouldn't want to set up a date just to dick around with denji. that's a hassle. they can throw down over texts or calls like this without making a date for it. luckily bakugou does not get a notification the images are saved.
which is probably a good thing, because the hero's sending denji a third picture. this time over the shoulder, capturing the back of the shirt and a similar "just above the counter rim" sliver of his lower back and tailbone. why'd he strip down to try on a shirt? who knows. but likely to be a jerk to denji and enjoy the flustration on the half-devil's part.
yeah, he's figured out who the damn informant is now, but the waters have already started to run. ugh. he'll kill denji for it later. guess it's better than class 1-a trying to wrangle him into a surprise party.]
fuck that. they'll bother me all day. we're doing something now.
[he'll be getting messages and parcels and shit throughout the day, so escaping with one person is better than being hounded by many.]
[ did he really think denji would purposely advocate for other outsiders to put their dirty lips on bakugou? the little faith you have in him is wild. the hypocrisy with this guy is even wilder; since denji had his own 'kiss me' shirt and it's a-okay for him to wear it, but for the hero it's a crime.
in his defense, people would want to smooch on bakugou more, so - the duality is valid 💅
another picture comes in, and this one is getting to him real good. today is the day denji is discovering plenty of new things about himself. by the time the other texts come in, the half-devil is still toying with the enhancements features on the device, further appreciating the selection of images he just obtained.
[there's a smirk on his face when he texts the response back. no, bakugou has no thoughts that denji would actually be inviting other people to kiss him via a t-shirt prompt. that "little faith" is naught more than taunting him. even if the shirt's got a dorky backside, the implication of denji's own thoughts makes it rather charming. unless the half-devil is looking for a reason to get growly at someone trying to do what the shirt says... picking a fight with the world, denji?
bakugou wouldn't do much about denji wearing a "kiss me" shirt, outside of mocking him for it with his usual teasing tone. though he'd be mistaken to think the explosive blonde would let just anyone try to kiss denji. mutual friends or acquaintances bakugou trusts? ... probably would get a pass. someone like aki, for example. of course, the type of kiss might get an arched brow and comment afterwards.
and really, since denji's been kissed more times than bakugou has, that meta comment is sorely backwards.
he'll just have to torment the guy with another picture in the meantime, leaving the half-devil to figure out what to do with those pictures on his own time. at least the oculars are pretty damn good at quality photos.]
29:50.
[kind of sad to date the gifts when the source is nearby, denji...]
[ what a selfish gift. denji is basically doing this for himself like a loser, but if bakugou can look past that and find the charm somewhere underneath— then it's a win.
it's nice of bakugou to allow mutual friends to smooch on him, as if anyone would try, but the thought counts. if only denji feels the same way. hey, just because he said he's 'fine' with not being the first option, it doesn't mean he'd want to see it happening. what he doesn't know ... won't hurt him. the half-devil will live by this practice. the 'i suddenly can't see or hear anything' rule. so healthy, right?
the countdown is lowkey ruining the sexy vibe he's feeling right now, but he can easily dismiss it. the 'source' still had boundaries holding him back, let's be real. that's why denji is being a gentleman and cleansing his soul of the naughty energy to focus on celebrating the hero's birthday. it's bakugou's day. not denji 'trying to score' day.
he'll be out in a bit and they probably won't do much anyway. it's unlikely they wouldn't run into the other outsiders wishing his partner a happy birthday. ]
[not when he's got something else to kiss above it. or under it. or whatever. bakugou recognizes the shirt's a "denji gift" as well as one he's given himself, but whatever. it's not like he'd be wearing "kiss me" shirts outside in public anyways due to his pride. denji's got complete access to this shirt and bakugou's fine with that. besides... it's kind of endearing. like how a fucking hickey is also irritably endearing as a claim of sorts.
at least in bakugou's defense, he's not one for public displays of affection outside of a few tolerated instances. denji could get away with dropping an arm around him or flopping in his lap, but trying to bite his ear or kiss him in public is going to get a snarl out of the blonde bomber regardless. even if he'll probably let it happen... time will tell what bakugou's reaction will be if someone does try to get close to denji like that while in the hero's line of sight.
though if said someone is a stranger, or someone bakugou does not approve of, yeah. expect to get an aggressive interjection and/or threat for the other to back the fuck off or die.
one of the main reasons he's being somewhat flexible about it is due to remembering the after effects of certain things that've occurred here. like the hot springs making people more open to suggestive thoughts, that shit dating app and valentine day chocolates, the possibility of lilith deciding to air everyone's sexual fantasies (look, he's not putting it past those bastards) or anything else that could veer into that area. kaiju pheromones. who the fuck knows.
the last thing bakugou wants is for denji to wake up spooning someone unintentionally and then ripping himself a guilt-ridden new one for something that was out of his control. they can talk about exclusivity and loyalty in the future.
... not that bakugou's shacking up with anyone else.
HOW THE FUCK IS THE COUNTDOWN TO SEEING THE SOURCE OF SEXY GIFTS RUINING THE SEXY VIBE OF SAID GIFTS?! there are aspects of denji bakugou's never going to understand... fuck. if denji thinks whacking off to pictures is going to help avoid messing up a birthday date... okay so the intent is gentlemanly, sure. but if bakugou wants to be part of denji's "score" on his own birthday, whatchu gonna do about it, ripcord pec?
actually bakugou is literally going to drag denji out of the dorm and into the city specifically to avoid running into other outsiders. he's much better one-on-one than dealing with a fucking impromptu birthday party.
probably hit up a korean barbecue joint or grab a sports game if denji's up for something fun like that? ... aaand potentially inviting denji to spend the night with him for a sleepover way later in the day, after other people have bothered bakugou with birthday stuff.]
[ is he into public display of affection? will he demand it? ... not purposely. denji has the simple idea of going for it when he feels like it, and if they happen to be around others when he gets the mighty urge to give bakugou's lips a bit of abuse, he won't stop himself. whether they were exclusive or not, it didn't matter. you kiss him once = an endless invitation for more. it's not wrong to express such affection; it's a beautiful thing that should not be frowned upon. huff.
the countdown adds pressure to meeting a deadline when all he wants to do is TAKE HIS SWEET TIME!! let him get in the mood. he has no idea bakugou might have a change of heart or be mildly annoyed that his pictures are getting all the action here, but denji rather clears up his mind. the good news is: it didn't last more than 30 minutes and bakugou will not enter a scandalous scene. bad news is: it's over. fuck, that was more intense than he expected, and over such, uh, timid pictures, too? denji is so pleasantly confused by all of this.
he's now eager to explore more about himself.
either way, he's here and committed to doing everything kacchan feels like doing on his special day. even when he had to endure the many 'happy birthdays!!' along their way out and forced small talk. to be honest, it didn't bother the half-devil as much as one might think— he was happy to see the hero getting the attention he deserved. they have their dinner and denji orders a small birthday delight for them to enjoy. a gaming session follows, burning off their meal with some fun workout.
as for the sleepover — hmm. it's a dangerous game, crawling under a single blanket and sharing a bed, but denji will behave. it's still your birthday, hero ♥ ]
[there's something to be said about someone going on impulse. denji being that kind of person doesn't surprise bakugou in the least. and the half-devil is one of the few people who has blanket permission to invade bakugou's personal space without getting his head ripped off. granted, he's not going to blast the guy in the face if he kisses him in public; denji's earned that privilege as well. but don't pout if he gets red in the face and sputters about it for a few seconds afterwards! who knows what denji'll find in his mouth after that. a tongue isn't entirely off the option list...
HE'S THE ONE THAT SAID "GIMME 30 MINUTES" IN THE FIRST PLACE!! but whatever. denji can get in the mood (in and out of it) while bakugou grabs a rinse off and gets ready to go out. he's been working out in his room so a fast shower is kind of a demand right now. look, if he finds out denji's having fun to his pictures, he's going to give him a face, then mock him for choosing the lesser of rewards. might be digging himself a hole considering the devil hunter's refractory period, but taunting is part of their banter.
he's gonna wonder what denji's thinking, jerking off to a guy... NOT OUT LOUD, DAMMIT!!
yeah, bakugou is bee-lining it out of the dorm, cussing under his breath when the third congratulation comes his way. DOES EVERYONE FUCKING KNOW NOW?! he really should throttle the guy beside him for letting the news slip...
at least they get to escape to the grill, where they can cook their own food at their table. that's always fun for him, because there's no need for awkward silence while waiting for their food to arrive. it's active, they can experiment with cooking techniques, and generally have an interactive dining experience along with the conversation. the dessert is nice, though denji gets to indulge in the sweeter chocolate of it while bakugou likes the darker chocolate part.
totally kill whoever comes against them in the arcade.
but it's later at night, closer to 9pm, that denji's going to get a text again:]
[ if only bakugou knew his flustered anger and empty threats at the sign of affection made him even more— enticing.
kacchan acting like sending sexy pictures wouldn't be a bold invite to have someone pleasure themselves to it. what did he expect denji to do? send him a 👍 and then talk about the weather? the hero knows what he was doing and he's not fooling anyone! however, all taunts are welcomed because they don't mean shit when he's having fun, and he sure did have a special time with those pictures.
they're back in their rooms; the celebration is over and the half-devil is still relishing the aftermath of such an eventful night. he took a shower, brushed his teeth, and got into a cozy t-shirt and sweatpants. it's a bit too early to sleep, but he's too tired to go out as well— denji ends up chilling on his bed reading a comic book, headphones on while blasting some mad music.
he gets a text soon after from the birthday boy, a bit surprised he's still awake. bakugou had the habit of a 65-year-old who goes to bed at 8:00 pm sharp. ]
[it's not like it's going to take him that long to figure it out...
while bakugou doesn't explicitly know what denji's doing with his pictures, he's also not an idiot when it comes to knowing what those pictures sent look like. the lack of pants, the low rim of the counter, a half-hiked shirt, of course he knows he's showing his body off as well as the shirt, and to someone he knows likes him, physically too.
just... not gonna think about it... much... in the meantime... denji jerking off...
oy! he goes to his room at 9pm most of the time and is asleep by 10pm like a NORMAL healthy person! then again, bakugou usually gets up around 5:30am, so the same 7 to 8 hours of sleep are had. that's healthy amount of sleep.
[ not that denji ever needs to be updated with his whereabouts, since aki is a grown ass man and can do whatever he wants, yet his friend makes it a routine to share every single detail when he can. it's cute, but also - very much an anxious habit. denji didn't want to give the impression that he couldn't cope with being alone for too long.
back to bakugou- ]
we can continue the celebration by reading some fun comics together 😎
[it would make sense for denji to invite his friend to live with him in the same space. bakugou wouldn't consider doing that with todoroki or midoriya. he needs his own space and doesn't want someone else cluttering it. unless there's a relationship thing going on; then he'd make... exceptions. exceptions meaning "training" his partner.
bakugou makes a face at the text, but it's not a bad idea? he used to read comics when he was a kid. though there aren't any hero comics around... hm.]
[ the only relationship they had going on was confusion and anxiety with a sprinkle of fear on top of it. then again, denji didn't want to get too deep into it; bakugou knew how complicated it was without sharing too many details. plenty of unresolved shit but they somehow coexist with each other. is it healthy? god knows. not the hero's problem. ]
we'll read the superheroes one.
[ implying he had other flavors within his collection but he knew to pick the one that would be, at least, acceptable to bakugou. he's such a gentleman. ]
[a dorm room versus and apartment home would have a definite effect on whether someone can tolerate living with another person. bakugou knows the two boys' relationship was complicated, but he doesn't know how close aki and denji were during their time together, or even where they're at right now (asides from even more complicated).
but he doesn't think the blonde was... you know... getting frisky with the raven. and even if he was, that's not bakugou's business to know or even mind. he knows all about unresolved shit though, having had plenty with midoriya.]
now you're really trying to flatter me.
[bakugou knows denji has other genres, but hey, he's not going to turn down sampling some other world's superhero offerings and see how it stacks up.]
... are you trying to figure out if we're fucking or not?
[ listen, denji is all about being forward and it kinda, sorta felt like bakugou miiiight be asking about this? if not, well— he's about to fuck up another conversation between them. he likes to believe the hero is used to his attitude by now so whatever.
he rolled his eyes with a smirk. of course he's trying to flatter him, it's a normal reaction towards someone you're attempting to woo. then again, denji wouldn't be too fake about it. all comics are equally fun to read. ]

probably hit up a korean barbecue joint or grab a sports game if denji's up for something fun like that? ... aaand potentially inviting denji to spend the night with him for a sleepover way later in the day, after other people have bothered bakugou with birthday stuff.]

Date: 4/23/24 17:17 (UTC)the countdown adds pressure to meeting a deadline when all he wants to do is TAKE HIS SWEET TIME!! let him get in the mood. he has no idea bakugou might have a change of heart or be mildly annoyed that his pictures are getting all the action here, but denji rather clears up his mind. the good news is: it didn't last more than 30 minutes and bakugou will not enter a scandalous scene. bad news is: it's over. fuck, that was more intense than he expected, and over such, uh, timid pictures, too? denji is so pleasantly confused by all of this.
he's now eager to explore more about himself.
either way, he's here and committed to doing everything kacchan feels like doing on his special day. even when he had to endure the many 'happy birthdays!!' along their way out and forced small talk. to be honest, it didn't bother the half-devil as much as one might think— he was happy to see the hero getting the attention he deserved. they have their dinner and denji orders a small birthday delight for them to enjoy. a gaming session follows, burning off their meal with some fun workout.
as for the sleepover — hmm. it's a dangerous game, crawling under a single blanket and sharing a bed, but denji will behave. it's still your birthday, hero ♥ ]

Date: 4/23/24 22:54 (UTC)HE'S THE ONE THAT SAID "GIMME 30 MINUTES" IN THE FIRST PLACE!! but whatever. denji can get in the mood (in and out of it) while bakugou grabs a rinse off and gets ready to go out. he's been working out in his room so a fast shower is kind of a demand right now. look, if he finds out denji's having fun to his pictures, he's going to give him a face, then mock him for choosing the lesser of rewards. might be digging himself a hole considering the devil hunter's refractory period, but taunting is part of their banter.
he's gonna wonder what denji's thinking, jerking off to a guy... NOT OUT LOUD, DAMMIT!!
yeah, bakugou is bee-lining it out of the dorm, cussing under his breath when the third congratulation comes his way. DOES EVERYONE FUCKING KNOW NOW?! he really should throttle the guy beside him for letting the news slip...
at least they get to escape to the grill, where they can cook their own food at their table. that's always fun for him, because there's no need for awkward silence while waiting for their food to arrive. it's active, they can experiment with cooking techniques, and generally have an interactive dining experience along with the conversation. the dessert is nice, though denji gets to indulge in the sweeter chocolate of it while bakugou likes the darker chocolate part.
totally kill whoever comes against them in the arcade.
but it's later at night, closer to 9pm, that denji's going to get a text again:]
you still awake?
no subject
Date: 4/24/24 16:03 (UTC)kacchan acting like sending sexy pictures wouldn't be a bold invite to have someone pleasure themselves to it. what did he expect denji to do? send him a 👍 and then talk about the weather? the hero knows what he was doing and he's not fooling anyone! however, all taunts are welcomed because they don't mean shit when he's having fun, and he sure did have a special time with those pictures.
they're back in their rooms; the celebration is over and the half-devil is still relishing the aftermath of such an eventful night. he took a shower, brushed his teeth, and got into a cozy t-shirt and sweatpants. it's a bit too early to sleep, but he's too tired to go out as well— denji ends up chilling on his bed reading a comic book, headphones on while blasting some mad music.
he gets a text soon after from the birthday boy, a bit surprised he's still awake. bakugou had the habit of a 65-year-old who goes to bed at 8:00 pm sharp. ]
yup.
aki's not here. wanna come over?
no subject
Date: 4/25/24 01:03 (UTC)while bakugou doesn't explicitly know what denji's doing with his pictures, he's also not an idiot when it comes to knowing what those pictures sent look like. the lack of pants, the low rim of the counter, a half-hiked shirt, of course he knows he's showing his body off as well as the shirt, and to someone he knows likes him, physically too.
just... not gonna think about it... much... in the meantime... denji jerking off...
oy! he goes to his room at 9pm most of the time and is asleep by 10pm like a NORMAL healthy person! then again, bakugou usually gets up around 5:30am, so the same 7 to 8 hours of sleep are had. that's healthy amount of sleep.
anyway.]
topknot shares your room?
no subject
Date: 4/25/24 16:54 (UTC)he's going out tonight.
[ not that denji ever needs to be updated with his whereabouts, since aki is a grown ass man and can do whatever he wants, yet his friend makes it a routine to share every single detail when he can. it's cute, but also - very much an anxious habit. denji didn't want to give the impression that he couldn't cope with being alone for too long.
back to bakugou- ]
we can continue the celebration by reading some fun comics together 😎
no subject
Date: 4/25/24 19:20 (UTC)[it would make sense for denji to invite his friend to live with him in the same space. bakugou wouldn't consider doing that with todoroki or midoriya. he needs his own space and doesn't want someone else cluttering it. unless there's a relationship thing going on; then he'd make... exceptions. exceptions meaning "training" his partner.
bakugou makes a face at the text, but it's not a bad idea? he used to read comics when he was a kid. though there aren't any hero comics around... hm.]
what kind do you have?
[while he gathers his things to come over.]
no subject
Date: 4/26/24 14:42 (UTC)we're used to sharing space.
[ the only relationship they had going on was confusion and anxiety with a sprinkle of fear on top of it. then again, denji didn't want to get too deep into it; bakugou knew how complicated it was without sharing too many details. plenty of unresolved shit but they somehow coexist with each other. is it healthy? god knows. not the hero's problem. ]
we'll read the superheroes one.
[ implying he had other flavors within his collection but he knew to pick the one that would be, at least, acceptable to bakugou. he's such a gentleman. ]
no subject
Date: 4/26/24 18:44 (UTC)[a dorm room versus and apartment home would have a definite effect on whether someone can tolerate living with another person. bakugou knows the two boys' relationship was complicated, but he doesn't know how close aki and denji were during their time together, or even where they're at right now (asides from even more complicated).
but he doesn't think the blonde was... you know... getting frisky with the raven. and even if he was, that's not bakugou's business to know or even mind. he knows all about unresolved shit though, having had plenty with midoriya.]
now you're really trying to flatter me.
[bakugou knows denji has other genres, but hey, he's not going to turn down sampling some other world's superhero offerings and see how it stacks up.]
no subject
Date: 4/26/24 19:03 (UTC)are you trying to figure out if we're fucking or not?
[ listen, denji is all about being forward and it kinda, sorta felt like bakugou miiiight be asking about this? if not, well— he's about to fuck up another conversation between them. he likes to believe the hero is used to his attitude by now so whatever.
he rolled his eyes with a smirk. of course he's trying to flatter him, it's a normal reaction towards someone you're attempting to woo. then again, denji wouldn't be too fake about it. all comics are equally fun to read. ]
are you flattered, then?
