so he brings a thin box wrapped in black paper to the shop and gets to the counter but its the stupid pothead blond who is there instead,, ,kirishima’s on his break, man, i dunno, so Bakugou just says “FUCK” really loudly because he really did Have to Work himself up to this Big Move and kmarinaris liek ‘UH you want like a complaint card or-”

or what, bakugou doesnt know because he storms outta the building and just like crumples angrily into a bench outside, he even kicks a rock like he’s four years old and crosses his arms and the gift over his chest with a huff and then feels extra stupid because its Break, kirishima will be back, this is a very dumb alpha hissy fit he’s having right now, good thing it’s public courtesy that everybody wears scent blockers because he’d be souring the whole fucking street otherwise,,

then the doors slam open and there’s an audible movie-style skid as kirishima bursts out the door like ‘oh shit dude i heard u cussing are you okay’ and bakugou looks at him and its very poetic theres sun shining and the light glints off the spikes on his collar and hes very hard to look at so bakugou looks away and kirishimas like ‘aw man ur in a mood bro, well i got like 5 min or something on my break and honstly i draw in so many tips that they’d never fire me haha so-”

by the time he’s done talkin he’s already sitting next to bakugou on the bench and bakugou’s like ‘hnNNNNNnnnhh well at least there’s not a whole line of people watching this wild act im bout to do’ so he picks up the box and slams it over towards kirishima who takes it like :o oh huh and bakugou’s like “open it moron”

and kirishima tears the paper way too carefully for a rowdy boy and also too carefully for bakugou who has to stop the growl encroaching on his throat

but then he opens the box and hes like ‘hmmmmm how’d you know my shirt size’ and bakugou’s like ‘what?’ very thrown off and kirishima is pulling out the shirt better and unfolding it and kind of frowning because he doesnt get it and it’s too much to look at so Bakugou recrosses his arms and sternly looks away again

and then kirishima realizes what this used black shirt in his hands is because he can smell it and he’s like real soft ‘o-oh’ and then bakugou cant resist looking back at him and he’s just holding the fabric crumpled in fingers that shake and his eyes are wide and his pretty mouth is open and bakugous like

YEAH WELL in for a penny as they say,,, NO HALF MEASURES

so he swings himself off the bench and onto his knees in front of the omega and “oh, ow, fuck-” the asphalts real hot under his hands, here, ok, focus- at least kirishima’s staring at him, now, for sure, “i’m, uh-” ok he’s watched so many stupid clips about this whole courting thing and read so many guides but FUCK it SURE aint as easy as they make it right??? but then he meets kirishimas shocked eyes and ok ok suddenly its. a lot easier,,,

“I’m tryna to fucking court you,’ he says, ‘officially. for real. uh’

and kirishima looks at him and looks at the scented shirt and looks at him and is like ‘me???????????????’

and bakugou’s like ‘who the fuck else you dumbass’ and kiri laughs So Fucking Hard that suddenly bakugou’s taken aback like ‘ok uhohhhh’ but

kirishima sets the shirt back in the box and reaches his hand for bakugous, who offers his in turn, and kirishima slips by his hand entirely and grabs his wrist, holds tight and hauls him back up into the bench

and his touch lingers because bakugou’s sure as hell not able to let go

but eventually kirishima slides his hand back skin to skin and he’s blushing a perfect pink collar, his blush so pretty it almost washes out the red of his collar, and bakugou realizes with a sharp pain in his chest what kirishima’s just done and he slowly lists his hand over his mouth, pulls his palm and wrist up and breathes and breathes and 

kirishima smells like coconut and salt, like a brilliant beach on a vacation day that never ends

and its a faint, barely there wrist gland scent that fades before bakugou’s ready for it to be gone but he’s been scented and theres no denying it

and then five minutes is up and kirishima’s scrambling to his feet holding the shirt to his chest like it’s the solution to every problem in the world and they are both

speechless

but kirishima has to go back to work, so he does, beucase he has to

and bakugou trembles outside the cafe because that worked????????????????? it worked? it worked???

coconut and fresh air
