Bakugou muttered. "All Might’s power… Even with that power, even if you made it your own, you’re still losing to me. Come on. Why did you lose?" What if Midoriya and Bakugou weren't interrupted immediately after their big fight was over? What if it took a bit longer for the security robot to spot them, and they had a chance to continue sorting things out between them? What if "sorting things out" meant "confused emotions make them feel a bit hot and bothered"? Notes I cringed so hard my face caved in when I saw just how many BakuDeku fics had the rape warning on them. =C I decided it was annoying enough that I had to write my own thing. Besides, their fight scene is so rife with opportunity, it baffles me that I have seen MAYBE two fics use it! See the end of the work for more notes It was a fight that didn’t need to happen. Things would have been just fine if they had simply sat down and talked everything out. They needed to get their feelings out in the open; how they really felt about each other. That’s what needed to happen. But Bakugou wouldn’t have it. His pride wouldn’t have it. He blamed himself for All Might losing his quirk. He was furious at Midoriya for always looking down on him. And he was frustrated with himself for not passing the provisional license exam. In his mind he had fallen from grace and probably felt he deserved to be mocked in the way he imagined Midoriya did. He was wrong, and to prove it Midoriya fought him. Midoriya had to, because Bakugou wouldn’t have listened to him any other way. Bakugou wouldn’t have believed a word of it if Midoriya had simply told him, “I don’t look down on you. Your sheer amazingness at everything you do is so brilliant, it blinds me.” He wouldn’t have believed it if he had said that more than All Might, Midoriya felt inspired by him. The dust settled around them after one final big explosion that sent Midoriya plummeting to the pavement on his back. Not even a second after, Bakugou was on top of him, pinning him in every way. A hand on his face, ready to set off another blast if Midoriya so much as flinched, wrists pinned by the other hand and a foot, and Bakugou sitting on his hips and thighs. The two panted, their breaths coming in short and fast. Midoriya might have even coughed a few times, the wind having been knocked out of him by being thrown to the ground so forcefully. “I win…” Bakugou muttered, blood starting to trickle from his nose. It was hardly the worst injury either of them had sustained, but the sight caused Midoriya’s stomach to churn. The two stared at each other for a long moment, Bakugou waiting to see if Midoriya would try to move and Midoriya waiting to see if Bakugou would cut him even the slightest amount of slack. He was starting to lose feeling in his hands, after all. Finally after what could very well have been five minutes, Bakugou shifted. Exhaustion coupled with the rather uncomfortable position he was in made him pull his leg back from Midoriya’s wrist. The shorter boy flexed his fingers gingerly, hoping not to set off his childhood friend, but also instinctually checking to make sure his hand still functioned as it should. The blond released a shaky breath. “All Might’s power… Even with that power, even if you made it your own, you’re still losing to me.” Midoriya heard him laugh weakly. He didn’t know what Bakugou was laughing about, and that alone tugged at his heartstrings. He really did have a lot of emotional baggage in need of dumping out if he was laughing like that in a situation like this. When he spoke again, his voice was so quiet that Midoriya barely understood him. “Come on. Why did you lose?” Green eyes stared up at red. He didn’t know how to answer such a question. He wantedto know, but he was certain that even if he wasn’t physically and emotionally rattled he wouldn’t know what to say. He did know, however, that he wanted to let Bakugou know that his victory was his and not something Midoriya had simply allowed him. He wanted to tell the blond that he should be more open. That he wanted to be there to help Bakugou; not because he looked down on him or thought him incapable of helping himself, but because he cared about him. Midoriya cared about him more than knew the words to say it. So he tried letting his actions speak for him. His fingertips were still tingling as Midoriya raised his free hand and wrapped his arm around Bakugou’s shoulders. He applied just the slightest amount of pressure, trying to tug Bakugou closer. He was startled by how easily the blond let himself be pulled down, allowing his forehead to come to a rest against the crook of Midoriya’s neck. Hesitantly, Midoriya began to stroke his back in a manner he hoped was soothing. He could feel Bakugou shudder on top of him and his breathing falter. He could feel moisture on his neck, although to be fair he wasn’t certain if it had come from Bakugou’s eyes or if it was blood from his nose. “Kacchan…” Midoriya spoke quietly, ever nervous that the mood he was trying to create would be ruined and that the boy in question would fly off the handle again. “I didn’t lose because I wasn’t fighting you with everything I have.” He brought his hand up to Bakugou’s hair and ran his fingers through the naturally spikey locks. Bakugou raised his head just enough to look Midoriya in the eyes, and the shorter boy couldn’t help but crack a smile when he saw how shiny and moist his eyes were. “I lost…because you are still so much better than me.” What happened next was the result of a mixture of many things. That they were finally talking to each other, being honest with each other, something they had never done but needed to do for over ten years and both of them were frankly at their emotional limit. The rare sight of Bakugou showing his weak side kicking Midoriya’s protective instincts to the max. The desire to prove to the volatile boy that he really did care about him deeply; that how much he cared was one of two things about himself that never wavered, right next to his desire to be a hero. Perhaps even a little bit of pure instinct, what with Bakugou sitting on top of him still. Midoriya gave Bakugou’s hair the lightest of tugs, and without the need for words the blond understood exactly what it was the shorter boy was trying to do. And he complied. He leaned down, both red and green eyes slipped closed, and their lips met. It was soft, simple. A cautious touch as both felt like they were in a bit of a daze. The feeling set butterflies free in Midoriya’s stomach. He didn’t know which of them pressed harder against the other, but he was certain it was something they mutually desired. At last Bakugou released Midoriya’s other wrist. He brought his hand up to the shorter boy’s cheek and stroked it softly, showing just how uncertain he was about what he should be doing. Midoriya couldn’t help but giggle against the blond’s lips as he flexed his numb fingertips before draping the arm around Bakugou’s back. “The fuck are you giggling about?” Bakugou grumbled, their mouths barely a centimeter apart. “You’ve kissed me twice, and you’re wondering why I’m giggling?” Midoriya asked, a bright, cheerful grin splitting across his face. “Fucking nerd. I didn’t kiss you. You kissed me.” “But you let me. So in a way I’m right.” A bubble of laughter erupted from the shorter boy, and Bakugou swallowed the sound before it could become a proper fit of giggles. Midoriya hummed pleasantly and nearly chased the blond’s lips when he drew away again. “You’re annoying when you talk. Especially when you start muttering useless things.” “If you keep kissing me when I start to babble, I’m only going to do it more.” Midoriya teased. “Little shithead.” The blond growled before diving in for another kiss, this one more forceful than any of their previous. Midoriya couldn’t argue with that. Even if he wanted to, he found himself unable to do anything but moan against Bakugou’s lips. The blond swiped his tongue across Midoriya’s bruised bottom lip and the boy squeaked before parting them obediently. Bakugou delving into his mouth with his tongue, pressing against Midoriya’s and tasting all of the shorter boy as he was able to. Midoriya’s breath hitched and he did everything he could to respond properly. The hand in Bakugou’s hair clutched tightly, drawing him a fraction closer and Midoriya was able to shyly push his tongue passed the heat of Bakugou’s and into his mouth. They continued on this way, never fully breaking away from each other, only making slight adjustments to see what felt the best. Their kiss was broken when Midoriya absolutely had to pull back in order to gasp for breath. The blond didn’t let him relax any, though. He bit lightly at Midoriya’s abused lips and sucked the bottom one into his mouth. The boy moaned, tongue unconsciously slipping out to swipe away the traces of saliva on his top lip, along with a spot of blood that he had not been expecting to be there. He swallowed thickly, surprised at how okay he was with the coppery taste. “Kinky little bastard…” he heard Bakugou mutter. “What are you…?” Midoriya asked weakly. The blond snickered and stared him in the eyes again. “I felt that.” Midoriya didn’t know why he was, but he could tell he was blushing. “Felt?” “Don’t play dumb! I’m practically sitting on it. You’ve been getting hard this whole time, and you fucking twitched when you licked your lips just now!” To further emphasize his point, Bakugou rolled his hips down onto Midoriya. The shorter boy gasped sharply at the sudden surge of pleasure that wracked his body and his face flushed brightly. “S-sorry! I didn’t mean to- I mean, I certainly wasn’t trying to- It’s just that I’m not thinking straight and you were kissing me and it feels kind of good to be in this sort of position and I don’t want you to think I’m weird it’s just a natural reaction and you can hate me for it like you do everything else I won’t mind I’ll understand IT REALLY ISN’T BECAUSE I WAS MMMPH!?!?!” Bakugou had rolled his eyes and kissed him with enough ferocity to shove Midoriya’s head back down onto the pavement beneath them. There was no tongue involved, but the shorter boy swallowed again and his eyes fluttered closed. Above him, Bakugou rocked against him again and Midoriya moaned. “What did I say before about you being annoying when you talk?” He rolled his hips again. And again. And again. Midoriya began to pant. There was no mistaking it; Bakugou was definitely doing it on purpose. “K-Ka…cchan… Why?” he breathed weakly. “Stupid Deku, you’re not the only one whose body is being an asshole right now.” The blond muttered. Midoriya raised his head cautiously and peered down at the thin space between their bodies. He flushed again as he spotted the obvious hard-on Bakugou was sporting as he rutted against him. It made him feel somewhat better than he wasn’t the only one weirdly turned on despite the circumstances, but also somehow that knowledge turned him on even more. His head tipped back and he moaned, low and throaty. “Not going to protest?” Bakugou asked. The shorter boy shook his head frantically from one side to the other. His breathing picked up and he was nearly gasping for breath with each roll of Bakugou’s hips against him. The blond wasn’t fairing too much better, from the ragged sounds of his own breathing. Emboldened by the knowledge that Bakugou was just as hard and eager as he was, Midoriya ran his hand down his back before slipping it beneath the blond’s tank top and pushing it up, exposing heated skin to the cool night air. Bakugou shivered under his touch and planted a kiss to Midoriya’s neck. The shorter boy felt a scraping of teeth against the sensitive skin and a tiny smile tugged at his lips. “You can leave a mark, if you want. I don’t mind.” Another kiss got planted on that spot. “You say that now, but in the morning you’re going to turn as red as Kirishima’s hair as soon as you or anyone else sees it.” “Since when do you care if I get embarrassed?” “Since it potentially hinders my chances of this becoming more than a one-time thing.” Bakugou admitted. Midoriya’s eyes widened and he whispered the other boy’s nickname in disbelief. It wasn’t that he didn’t want more, oh no, he was delighted at the prospect of his childhood friend, his childhood crush, wanting something more than the disjointed “friendship” they had had. Bakugou chose not to respond. Not verbally, anyway. He leaned up, far enough that Midoriya shuddered at the loss of body heat and immediately wanted it all back. He didn’t need to ask what Bakugou was doing, that became apparent right away. The blond shifted enough that he could tug down the waistband of his pants and underwear, bringing both down around his thighs and freeing his dripping cock. Midoriya’s first reaction was to glance away and blush bright red, but his curiosity and desire to see got the better of him and he turned back and took a good, long look at the blond’s needy dick. Bakugou smirked at him and reached for Midoriya’s shorts, tugging them down with little effort. The shorter boy didn’t realize what he was doing until his boxers too had been pulled down and his own leaking member was free of its confines. His ears and neck flushed, too. “D-don’t look!” he shrieked, pulling his hand away from Bakugou’s back to try and cover himself. Bakugou grabbed him by the wrist, though his eyes were on Midoriya’s again. “Why not? You were staring at mine pretty intently.” He gave him his most predatory smirk. “And I’ve been grinding on you for the past ten minutes. What harm is it going to do if I see you now?” Midoriya avoided eye contact with him for a moment. It wasn’t that he didn’t want Bakugou to look. In fact, the thought of the blond seeing him naked and erect and needy and dripping and wracked with desire turned him on like nobody’s business. But that didn’t stop him from being just a little self- conscious about showing a part of himself that was usually kept in his bedroom late at night with no one but himself to judge him. “Y-you can look…” Midoriya muttered. “B-but you can’t laugh!” “I may be an asshole, Deku, but I’m not exactly in a position where I can be laughing at your dick.” Bakugou pointed out. “Just promise me you won’t laugh!” Midoriya shouted earnestly. “Alright, alright! I promise. Just keep it down!” Slowly, as if Bakugou would suddenly go back on his word, Midoriya removed his hand from himself and Bakugou’s eyes fell. They drifted across the shorter boy’s swollen, panting lips, over his flushed neck, down his hard chest, passed his toned abdomen, and finally settled on his neglected cock. Bakugou’s breath noticeably faltered and he unconsciously licked his lips. It seemed Midoriya again wasn’t alone in what he found to be arousing. Bakugou sat up fully and tugged at Midoriya’s biceps to follow him. The shorter boy was practically pulled onto Bakugou’s lap and the blond kissed him again. Midoriya was ready for it and met his lips with his own newfound ferocity, tongues seeking each other out once more. Midoriya whimpered when he felt a warm, calloused hand on his cock. Bakugou wasn’t stroking him, not yet, but he was bringing their members together so that he could take them both in one hand. Not willing to let him do all the work and wanting to prove that he really wasn’t so weak, Midoriya wrapped one of his own around both of them, the blond moaning appreciatively into his mouth. They started off slow, experimenting with how it felt to have each other in hand. The hand that refused to leave Bakugou’s hair clutched tighter, and the blond made a mental note to tell Midoriya some time that he didn’t mind having his hair pulled. They parted for breath again, and this time it was Midoriya that continued to do things while the other gasped for air. His tongue found the shell of Bakugou’s ear and the blond shivered violently, his grip on their cocks tightening and picking up the pace. Midoriya matched it and sucked on his earlobe, earning a ragged moan from Bakugou. “I could’ve sworn you were a virgin.” The blond groaned. “The fuck’ve you been fucking?” “I am a virgin.” Midoriya admitted in a whisper against his ear. “Aren’t you?” “Of course I am. You think I’d let just anybody fuck with me?” Midoriya giggled and kissed his cheek. “Then why are you asking me if I am?” “Stop giggling!” he hissed. “Because everything you do feels amazing.” Bakugou growled out. The rumbling of his chest as he spoke shook Midoriya to his core and the shorter boy had to cling tightly to him so as not to lose himself then and there. It was Midoriya’s turn to pick up their pace on their dicks, which was now frantic. “Although it wouldn’t surprise me if a deku like you were a closet pervert who watched a fuckton of gay porn.” “Like you haven’t jerked off to your fair share of dicks!” Midoriya couldn’t help but giggle. “I swear to God, if you giggle one more time-” It was Midoriya’s turn to cut him off with a kiss, and Bakugou practically melted into it with a groan. A few more strokes was all it took for the blond to cum, his seed spilling between them on a hitched breath. Midoriya left his lips and Bakugou gasped harshly, gulping back air like he had nearly drowned. His hand on Midoriya had stilled only for half a second, and when it moved again it was even more frantic than before. Midoriya bit his lip, certain that even without Bakugou marking him he would still be sporting proof of what they had done the next morning. He came with a whimper and another light tug to the blond’s hair. They both sat there for several minutes, reclaiming their breaths and calming down from their highs. Midoriya got off of Bakugou’s lap and he wiped the evidence with the underside of his shirt before pulling his shorts back up. Bakugou followed suit. When Midoriya looked up at him again, he was surprised to find a single tear spilling over his cheek. The shorter boy whispered his nickname again before cupping his cheeks in his hands and rising on his toes in order to kiss him. Things were…still not great between them, all things considered. It was going to take more than one fight and emotionally-charged fucking to fix what had been broken for ten years. But progress had been made that night, however small, and there was a mutual understanding between them that they both wanted things to continue to get better. It was a start, not a dead end. Both of them were just about thinking that they had gotten away with fighting out in the open after curfew, but such assumptions were interrupted when one of the security robots spotted them and made a call to their homeroom teacher. The boys looked at each other, sighed, and sat down on the ground, resigning themselves to whatever fate they were going to be given at the hands of a pissed off and tired Aizawa. End Notes Holy balls this came out way fluffier than I had meant it to. But you know...I like it. A lot. I wish I could write fluffier smut without trying more often! This also ended up being about twice as long as I expected BECAUSE of the fluff, but hey, I'm still not complaining.
