You don’t know what time it is and honestly, you don’t want to know. Opening your eyes and checking the time means that you’ll actually end up opening Instagram, which then leads to opening TikTok, which then leads to not being able to go back to sleep.
Trying to get in a more comfortable position, you roll to the other side of the bed… wait, there shouldn’t be more room on this side.
You open your eyes quickly and see that Bakugou is gone. The bed sheets providing warmth to your body are now removed and pushed to the side so you can stumble out of bed. Opening the door of your bedroom you are smacked in the face with the smell of your favorite breakfast.
A smile grows on your face and any fears of Bakugou leaving are lifted off your shoulders. You head to the bathroom to brush your teeth and complete the rest of your morning routine before greeting him.
Heading over to the kitchen, the scent of the food grows stronger and you get happier.
“G’morning, Kats!” You say, coming up behind him and startling him a bit.
“Hey n/n, g’morning,” when he looks over at you he sees the way your facial expression is glowing.
“What’s up with the excitement?”
“You remembered my favorite breakfast?” You ask.
“How could I forget, you asked me to make you this all the time,” he chuckles.
You help set up some plates and glasses for the two of you while he finishes up the meal. Once he was done, he placed it very cutely on the table. You don’t forget to snap a picture before sitting down to grab your portion.
“Kats, this is really good, thank you,” you say, offering him a soft smile.
There’s a crumb on your face and he wipes it off with his thumb before nodding at you as a response to your thanks.
Once the both of you finish your food you help him put away the dishes inside the dishwasher. You were going to do it by yourself since he made breakfast, but he wouldn’t let you. He claimed that he knew how to make it the most organized. You simply rolled your eyes as a response to which he smiled at while your back was turned.
You checked your phone and saw it was roughly 11 in the morning.
“Kats, how do you plan on surprising the others?” You ask.
“I’m not doing any corny shit like yelling ‘surprise!’ or something,” he said, immediately eliminating an option.
You giggled at how serious he was about not doing any stereotypical surprise party stuff. He shares with you that he wants to text in the groupchat that his flight got canceled and have you invite your friends over. Once they’re over, he'd wait a little bit before casually walking out of your room as if everything was normal.
The idea was very simple, but you liked it. Bakugou decided to send his text now since the others would probably all be awake.
katsuki : these losers canceled my flight
mina : how they gonna cancel a pro heroes flight
kyouka : LMFAO you acting like we get a vip pass
katsuki : i deserve to get a vip pass like i’m rly out here saving lives 😭
denki : ONG like why are u being treated like a commoner 💀
y/n : well now we all jus got this day off
eijirou : y’all tryna watch the new movie that zendaya is in?
y/n : YES. my place in 30 😵💫
katsuki : fuck y’all making plans while i’m across the world
y/n : you’ll live <3
Bakugou looks at you as if he’s actually offended by your response.
“What do you mean ‘you’ll live’,” he makes air quotes.
“We’ve been making plans without you for two years, Katsuki..” you say laughing.
He very slightly pouts, but you still manage to see it. He walks himself over to the couch and you follow behind him. You scoot yourself closer to him and poke at his cheek. He swats your hand away like a child, but you continue poking his cheek, feeling a bit bad for making him feel left out.
I mean to be fair he was the one to choose to leave, but you still felt kind of guilty. The swatting wasn’t working since you kept poking his cheek so he grabbed your hand and pushed it down on your lap.
“Are you 5?” He said dryly, but you knew he wasn’t actually upset at you.
He opens his Instagram and begins to scroll through his feed. He first sees all the recent posts that his friends have posted. He scrolls through all of them, skipping through the multiple pictures, and leaving an occasional comment here and there. You lean your head on his shoulder so you can see the posts better. Once your head was comfy, his grip on your hand loosened and you took this as an opportunity to interlock your fingers with his. He squeezes your hand for a second before turning his phone screen so you can get a better look at what he’s watching.
After 20 minutes of scrolling through different posts and reels Bakugou’s screen changes as the caller ID “Mina” and a picture of him and Mina come up on his phone. He looks at you panicked.
“What do I do?” He whispers, as if Mina can already hear him without even picking up the call.
You laugh at how nervous he is, “Just pick it up like normal, it’s not a FaceTime call.”
He picks it up and puts it on speaker. He then sets the phone down on his thigh as he’s too paranoid about having his cover blown.
“What’s up, did you need something?” He asks, rushed and bothered.
“Oh, my fault, I didn’t realize how busy America’s number one hero must be!” Mina says sarcastically in response to Bakugou’s annoyed tone.
He hears the giggles of the rest of his friends in the background which means they must be on their way over to your place.
Bakugou rolls his eyes which causes you to need to step out of the room because you thought Mina might be able to hear you laugh.
“Sorry, I’ve been anxious because of the delay, is everything good?”
“Yeah, I was actually just gonna ask you if you would rather die lonely like a loser or finally do something with y/n-” History repeats itself because just as you did to Denki the night before, Bakugou did the same to Mina.
You step into the room after you hear the mention of your name, but you didn’t hear the beginning of the sentence.
“Talking about me behind my back?” You say, in a shocked and dramatic tone.
“Shhh no, Mina doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” he responds, trying to brush it off.
Just then, you hear a knock at your door that startled both you and Katsuki.
“Hurry open y/n, we brought tons of snacks and drinks,” Denki complains, probably from the heaviness of all the items.
You and Katsuki jump up off the couch and you rush him into your room.
“I’ll come out sometime before the movie starts, ‘kay?” He asks.
You nod your head and close to the door before shuffling over to the front door to open it for your friends.
As if Denki is holding 3 tons of metal, he runs inside as soon as the door opens and places 2 soda boxes on the table. You laugh at his action and greet the rest of your friends that calmly follow his same path to place other things on the table.
“If I didn’t know any better I would think that you guys would be moving in with all this stuff you’ve brought.” You say, completely shocked at the amount of snacks and drinks that your friends brought for one simple movie.
“We haven't hung out all together in a while, so we brought everything!” Mina exclaims. She seems very proud of all the items that are gathered on the table.
You agree with Mina and you all decide on fixing up some snack bowl before starting the movie. You all hate having to pause what you're watching to go get something, especially if it’s at a good part. Mina and Denki go pop and butter popcorn while you, Kyouka, and Eijirou are busy pouring chips and soda into cups and bowls.
“It’s so weird that Katsuki’s flight got canceled, do you know why?” She asks, looking at you.
You had to think of something fast because you didn’t want them to see you hesitate.
“Ohh yeah well Katsuki was actually late to the flight, he just didn’t wanna say that.” You say, knowing Bakugou is probably sighing while inside your room.
Eijirou and Kyouka laugh at the fake scenario because it is honestly something he would do.
“Speaking of Katsuki,” Denki butts in, “why’d you hang up the phone yesterday when I mentioned being your ‘Katsuki Troubles Therapist?’” He frowned while remembering the situation.
You knew Bakugou had to have his ear glued to the door when you were going to answer this one.
“I didn’t hang up, my phone died and then I forgot to call back,” you respond, giving him a guilty look. The expression on your face wasn’t even fake either. You felt guilty lying to your friends like this.
“Enough about all that,” Mina inserts herself into the conversation as well, “what’s your next move when Katsuki gets here?” She asks, wiggling her eyebrows.
You laugh in embarrassment knowing you’ll have to explain this when Bakugou reveals himself. Originally, you were going to brush it off and not give a clear answer, but you came to an important realization. 1, if you acted clueless about what Mina was asking, you know they’d know something was up. 2, you really want to speed things up with Bakugou because it’s been wayyy too long. So, as a result there’s only one reasonable choice, answer them honestly.
“Well, I didn’t plan anything out, so I was kind of hoping he’d plan something out,” you say, hesitantly, “but I’m also not a hundred percent sure he likes me.”
Kyouka exhales a loud sigh and turns her head to look at the others. They give her a look of agreement and she turns to face you.
“Technically I’m not supposed to tell you this because I promised Katsuki I wouldn’t, but I’m doing this for all of our sakes,” she says, thinking of her next words to say, “Katsuki likes you.”
You stop pouring the bag of chips into a bowl and stare at all of your friends. Kyouka sees that you don’t respond to what she said, so she assumes she needs to make it clearer.
“I get a text at least 3 times a day about you from Katsuki. Each one of them is around the lines of ‘Kyo help I miss her so much,’ ‘Kyouka do you think she likes me back,’ and ‘we just facetimed, she’s so pretty.”
You grow a bit flustered from the information that’s being thrown at you without warning.
Kyouka then continues listing all the other things Bakugou does that makes it very clear that he likes you. One of those things being the fact that he started liking you when you were second years.
“But trust,” Mina chimes in again, “you fell first, but he’s falling harder!”
What Mina said makes you laugh. However, you also laugh because you can’t imagine how red Bakugou’s face is from all the secret spilling Kyouka is doing. As she finishes her last piece of information you expect Bakugou to walk out as he said he would, but he doesn’t. This does make you glad because the room would’ve been way too stuffy and awkward.
You push past all this Bakugou talk and remind your friends that this is supposed to be a movie day. Eijirou puts on the movie while the rest of you bring all the snacks and drinks and set them on the coffee table in front of your couch.
The movie begins and since all of you guys are zendaya lovers, you all enjoyed every aspect of it. Once the movie ends you realize Bakugou has yet to make his appearance, but you don’t pay much mind to it, and begin to clean up the mess you all made. (The mess being more on Denki and Mina’s side of the couch). They ask if you want to go take a walk around the park or something, but you make up yet another lie so you can stay and fix up this invisible tension with Bakugou.
As they all leave you hear your bedroom door open, and you turn to see Bakugou walk out slowly. You stare at him and you both smile awkwardly at each other knowing that a missing piece to your relationship has finally been found.
He doesn’t make any attempt to move closer to you, so you go walk over to him. Your sense of embarrassment is growing as you go over to him while he’s staring quietly at you.
You arrive decently close to him, and you’re about to say something to get rid of this suffocating tension. As you open your mouth you shut it quickly when his hands cup your face firmly, but gently at the same time. It seems like time is going by at top speed. Your heart is racing and your face is getting hot. You don’t even know where to put your hands.
All your thoughts are cut off when Bakugou leans in to plant a kiss on your lips. You close your eyes and let all your worries fade away as this was the last thing that could confirm for certain that the wait for Bakugou was over.
You both pull away and your eyes flutter open. He stares at you again for a second before beginning to say something.
“I think those were the most painful 2 hours of my entire life.” He says, smiling at you.
You laugh at him and walk a little forward to give him a tight hug.
“Honestly same, I don’t even think I paid attention to the movie properly,” you say, your right cheek squished against his chest while hugging him.
“You know I was going to make a plan for what I’m about to do, but I think we both deserve this now.” He says, as you pull away to look at him.
You can tell he’s very nervous so you hold his hands as you wait for whatever he’s about to do. His hands are a lot more sweaty than usual, but you hold them nonetheless.
“Y/n, will you be my girlfriend?” He says, innocence taking over his eyes.
You knew what he was going to ask, but you didn’t actually know, if that makes sense. You thought you were simply jumping to conclusions as usual, so you were still shocked when the question came out.
You nod your head before answering his long awaited question with a proper, “Yes.”
He pulls you in a second time for your first kiss as lovers. This kiss, filled with more passion than the last, was the turning point in your relationship with him. You were finally dating the boy, now man, that you’ve been longing for all these years.
As the kiss breaks, of course Bakugou has to ruin the loving moment.
“So,” he pauses and stares around thinking of something smart to say, “tell me how much you like me.” He says, giving you a cocky smile.
“No way, you go first!”
“Kyouka already spilled my secrets!”
“I know there’s more, Kats.”
“Shut up!”
