Work Text:
Izuku has just come back from his daily morning run, made himself a cup of hot cocoa and now he's sitting on the common room enjoying the quiet and peace for a couple of minutes.
It's the weekend, so he knows it'll take a while for his classmates to wake up–
"Oi, nerd!" Except for Bakugo of course... He usually wakes up at the same time as Izuku does...
"Kacchan! Good mor–Are you okay?" He's never seen Bakugo so flustered before; his cheeks are pink and he's standing right in front of him while rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
"I-I got hit by a quirk..." He mumbles, turning even more red as he explains everything to Izuku. "It's... Uhh... It's a very real quirk that makes you want–"
Suddenly, he growls, almost pulling all his hair out mumbling something that sounds like "I can't do this!" before cursing as a couple of little explosions come right out of his open hands.
Izuku leaves his mug on the table before getting closer to his friend (he's not sure if they're friends now, but at least he's not aggressive towards him anymore... he's been trying to be kind).
"Does it make you feel sick?" Izuku asks patiently, caressing Bakugo's face before touching his forehead.
The blond melts into the touch almost immediately.
"I want you to touch me," he blurts out, surprising Izuku before he realizes what's going on.
"Oh! It was an affectionate quirk then?"
"Yes... THAT," Bakugo nods.
Izuku takes the other boy's hand and pulls him towards the couch, but before sitting on it, it occurs to him that maybe it'd be better for Bakugo to find another way to fix it. Perhaps he craves physical affection now, but later he'll get angry with Izuku because he didn't just take him to recovery girl or something.
"I think we should tell Aizawa or–"
"No!" Bakugo cuts him off. "I mean it's not necessary, nerd! It'll wear off on its own, just give me what I want!"
Knowing it's a mistake, Izuku rolls his eyes and nods, however, before he can sit, Bakugo jumps on the couch and places the other boy on his lap, before putting his arms around Izuku's waist.
When he growls again, Izuku starts running his fingers through his hair. Then, he wonders about the mysterious quirk; he's heard about something like that before, but the man that has it is currently in prison because he tried to enslave a woman by making her crave his affection.
Although he supposes there must be more than one person with a similar quirk...
"How did it happen?" He asks, curious, as he keeps stroking Bakugo's spiky hair.
"It doesn't matter, nerd!" The boy hisses, pulling Izuku even closer to him. "You have to do better than that, by the way!"
"What do you mean, Kacchan? Like this?" Izuku cradles his face gently before rubbing their noses together, Bakugo blushes, but he still doesn't look satisfied.
"I need more than that..."
"What do you need?"
"A... kiss."
This time Izuku is the one that turns completely red.
"I'm... not sure, Kacchan. You might want that now, but you probably won't be happy later... You'll regret it..."
"Nerd, listen to me!" Bakugo looks so flustered but at the same time frustrated it confuses Izuku for a moment. "I won't regret it, I swear! Just do it!"
"The quirk is making you–"
"It's not!" Bakugo almost growls, nuzzling against Izuku's soft cheek. "It's not, I promise, just kiss me!"
He decides that kisses on the cheek are harmless so he starts pressing his lips against Bakugo's face.
"That's not what I meant!" The blond says, but he looks a lot calmer now and very pleased; he can't help but grin every time Izuku kisses him on the forehead or cheeks.
"Morning, Midoriya!" Ashido smiles, walking in the common room followed by Uraraka and Kirishima.
"Congrats, Bakubro! I see you finally asked him out!"
"No! It's not that!" Izuku says immediately, noticing that his other classmates are quickly getting in the room as well; Todoroki looks really upset for some reason. "He just got hit by an affectionate quirk!"
"Yeah, right..." Uraraka rolls her eyes, earning a glare from Bakugo. "This is ridiculous! You can't–"
"I was hit by the same quirk!" Todoroki cuts her off suddenly, although he's just looking at Izuku. "Can you help me, Midoriya?"
"Yes, of course!" Izuku nods, trying to get off Bakugo's lap, only for the blond to bare his teeth at Todoroki before pulling Izuku closer.
"He's lying!"
"Of course he isn't, Kacchan! Why would he do that?"
"So he–" however, Bakugo stops suddenly, bitting his bottom lip as he blushes yet again.
"It's exactly the same thing that happened to you, Bakugo..." Todoroki assures him with a neutral expression, although there's a peculiar glimmer in his mismatched eyes... He even manages to take Izuku away from the grumpy blond and place him on his own lap. "Would you give me a kiss too?"
Izuku nods before pressing his lips against Todoroki's right cheek, it was really a smart move since the left side of the boy's head got on fire almost immediately, although it was just for a couple of seconds...
"YOU'RE DEAD, HALF AND HALF!"
They don't get to fight because Bakugo's loud snarls seem to have summoned Aizawa who gives detention to both of them and takes them out of the common room...
The curious thing is that the quirk seems to have worn off almost immediately...
Izuku is still confused about it, it doesn't make sense; he'll have to write everything down on his notebook to try to figure it out later.
