Good morning, Bakugo. Do you know what things, aside yearly, have to constitute a relationship milestone? I almost didn't know about the chocolates on Valentines day and without you I wouldn't have known what to do. Or what to give him. I know I keep leaning on you about the same things, but I trust you would know. Midoriya would help with all his heart but I feel like you have more worldly knowledge than him.
Every time he gets texts from Todoroki, it's like this. Early morning infodump.
Questions about love. And these days Katsuki feels particularly unprepared to help anyone navigate this topic. He can't even navigate it himself.
I wish I could just sit your ass down and make you watch grossly sappy romcoms. First explain to me what you mean. Holidays you should be celebrating? Or 'we've been together x amount of time' celebrating?
Shoto feels horrible having to do it, but he has no one else that he thinks really can explain it to him like Bakugo can. Izuku has a way with words, and a want to help, but he'd be gentle, where Bakugo wouldn't be.
I've seen some, but he doesn't have amnesia and I couldn't even think of fifty places to take him.
Both. Are there other things like that? His birthday, yes. I know that I should remember the day we agreed to date. Are there other things?
Pretty much depends on the person. What milestones you think are important might not be the ones someone else does. Your best bet is to pick a pattern and stick to it if you're going to do that kind of thing. Holiday-wise, pretty much just Christmas. And his birthday. Don't forget that.
Shoto doesn't realize that, indeed, yes he is fishing for advice.
He asked me. Or told me, maybe. He said "Although if I'm going to kiss you all the time, I might have to make you my boyfriend." I have the text messages he sent. I was in the room but there are some things he can't express to me with speaking.
I thought he was teasing me at first. Some people do, but he was being sincere.
This is absolutely not helpful to him at all. He can't help but feel that asking Izuku to be his boyfriend would not go nearly as smoothly. Nothing is ever easy with them. Ever.
So what, you just chose him because you like kissing him?
That simple, but no, not exactly. I asked him a few questions first. Asked him to make some concessions where I was sure I may make a mistake. I told him that I knew I was going to make mistakes, I haven't told him about my situation yet.
I do like kissing him, but it was because of how he made me feel. I feel important to him. My scar has never been an issue even if it's disfiguring a quarter of my face. He listens, and not just because he can't speak conventionally but because he wants to hear what I have to say. Without knowing about my past, he accepts me just for me. That's why I chose to say yes.
Likely. I know I appreciate compliments. There's a lot to compliment him about, too. Maybe one day I should write it all down instead. You've helped me again to know what direction I want to go. If I can ever do the same, for anything, I will be here to help you, too.
I will admit, though, even though Toge broke the surface on the topic, I was very frightened he was making a mistake. I still sometimes don't think I'm good enough for him, but despite that being right or wrong, it's his decision and I'm glad I let him make it for himself.
And he appreciates and it and will take him up on it someday when he's actually ready to express his feelings. If it were anyone other than Izuku he'd maybe be a little more prepared. But nothing is ever, ever easy for him when it comes to Izuku Midoriya.
Don't give me that self-conscious bullshit. Nothing wrong with you. You're annoyingly strong and good in battle. You're stupidly kind and thoughtful to the point I wanna punch you sometimes. And anyone with two working eyes can see you're attractive. So that code-talking asshole better appreciate you as much as you appreciate him or I'll kick his ass up and down the street. And if you tell me you aren't good enough again, it's gonna be your ass I kick.
Shoto reads all of that and... and he's really touched by it. Not only that but Bakugo has given Toge a nickname again and that really warms his heart. Even if it's not a nice one by convention, Shoto thinks it is. It's how Bakugo shows he cares.
And boy is Shoto getting an earful of care. Or eye-ful.
That's one of the nicest things you've ever said to me, Bakugo. I will keep in mind, much more, that even if I feel differently, other people don't see me that way. Thank you.

I wish I could just sit your ass down and make you watch grossly sappy romcoms.
First explain to me what you mean.

Or 'we've been together x amount of time' celebrating?

Shut up.
You can't make me do anything I don't wanna do.
There is a few moments of pause before he adds;
How did you even ask him out?
What's the story?
He's not fishing for advice. Don't even suggest it.

He asked me. Or told me, maybe. He said "Although if I'm going to kiss you all the time, I might have to make you my boyfriend." I have the text messages he sent. I was in the room but there are some things he can't express to me with speaking.

Duh.

And you just accepted?
That simple, huh?

He also doubts he's ever made Izuku feel that way a day in his life. Quite the opposite.
He has so much work to do on himself if he's going to be a person worthy of asking.
Make sure you tell him the shit you like about him, Icy-Hot.
Not all the time or anything stupid like that.
But I bet he'd appreciate knowing.

Yeah, yeah.
I know.

Gross.
I'm gonna kick your ass the next time I see you.
No he's not. He's full of shit.
