Kaminari watched adoringly as his boyfriend played the snare drum at the pep rally. He almost forgot he was supposed to be “hyping” the band up as his boyfriend was just so darn pretty. He didn’t even have to look down at his instrument and he had those look of peace on his face every time he played that drum.
Kaminari quickly got back to doing what he was supposed to do and snuck a few glances at Bakugou, his boyfriend.
Once the pep rally was over Kaminari quickly got changed and ran over to the band room to find Bakugou just leaving.
“Bakugou!!! Wait up!” The blonde stopped and turned back to see his dunce face boyfriend running up behind him. “Hey Kaminari.” He squeezed Bakugou right from behind “Didn’t I tell you to call me Denki.” He said it as a statement, not a question which made Bakugou smile. “Ok Denki, try not to get too distracted next time I’m up in the stands, I know I’m just that cool but you have your own stuff to do.” The ginger boy intertwined their hands “I can’t help it you’re just too cute.” He pinched Katsuki’s cheek and the shorter (pretend Kaminari had a growth spurt ok) boy shoved him away “Don’t do that asshole!” Kaminari only laughed at his boyfriend until he started storming off and Kaminari quickly enveloped him into another hug which he struggled to get out of and eventually gave up. “You’re so annoying sometimes Denki.” That only made him hug Bakugou harder because he knows he loves it.
Later that night they had a home game which meant Kirishima, Shoto, and Yaoyorozu were a bit on edge. It was against their rival school so who could blame them. Bakugou and Shoto were sitting together in class talking about the game when Denki took a break from whatever him and Hanta were doing and saw that sly football player start to play with Bakugou’s hair and his hands. “Your hair is so soft Bakugou.” The ash blonde just shrugged and leaned in a bit closer to the red and white boy. They were close enough friends after their first year of highschool. Bakugou hated him when they first met but band and football brought them together and Todoroki was quiet and respectful mostly.
But Kaminari couldn’t care less that was his lil boo and Todoroki was getting way, way, way too close. At the same time he didn’t want to upset Bakugou and make it seem like he couldn’t be around his friends. He knew the football player only meant it as a friendly gesture (he hoped so at least) and knew Bakugou loved him so he just left it at that.
He couldn’t help but keep looking over every now and then to make sure nothing too much was going on. When class was over he didn’t wait for Bakugou he made a beeline to his next class leaving a confused Bakugou and a conflicted Todoroki. Sure he was confused but also pissed at the ginger not sparing even a glance to his boyfriend and just leaving him. Bakugou shrugged it off (no he didn’t) and walked with Todoroki to their last class of the day, spanish.
Kaminari berated himself internally for leaving Katsuki without saying anything. He knew it was something the ash blonde would worry about yet he still did it over what? Jealousy. He didn’t see Bakugou till the football game.
The crowds yelled and cheered while cheerleaders flipped and jumped. He watched how Yaoyorozu got all flustered at Jirou waving from the sidelines. It was only cute for a moment before he realized his own boyfriend was here and they hadn’t talked since 7th period. It was Kaminari’s fault, he left him when the bell rang while he usually walked Bakugou to class and he also avoided him the rest of the day. Of course right beside Bakugou like his body guard was Todoroki trying to offer his best comforts.
The band was no longer in the stands which meant they were about to perform the halftime show and Kaminari rushed over to where he knew they were. He was allowed since he was a mascot and saw his beautiful boyfriend basically glowing. The schools colors only complimented everything about him. Every thing the energetic boy loved was highlighted in the uniform. He noticed he was talking to some other band kids with drums and ordering them into a line. He was also the section leader. ‘How does he even love me’ Kaminari wonders ‘He’s beautiful, smart, talented, and caring even if you could never tell through his words he’s a man of action obviously.’ He had no times to dwell on that thought because they were starting to move out onto the field which meant the mascot was needed.
Like any other show Bakugou practically glowed. He was in his element, he even managed to have a small smile on his face the entire show. The taller boy felt so guilty. This perfect boy shouldn’t have to deal with his lousy boyfriends jealous habits! He couldn’t believe he avoided Bakugou for hours. He was mesmerized by the sight before him moving around the field. Before he knew it the show had ended. He rushed over to the spot where the band set everything down after the performance.
Soon enough Bakugou appeared with only the uniform still on, his drum already packed away. The ginger still had the mascot on but the head was by his side since it was a little hard to breathe in. He saw Todoroki go up to his boyfriend. It bothered him but he stood right where he was hoping that he would soon be noticed. The ash blonde seemed to light up talking to the football player which made Kaminari’s heart stutter in the not good way. Right when Todoroki was going in for a hug Bakugou turned to the ginger and screamed “DENKI!!” He ran and jumped into the taller boys arms, burrowing his face into the furry mascot.
He almost tumbled back but thankfully didn’t and wrapped his arms around Bakugou tightly. “Hey, you did so good out there Katsuki.” He got a mumble back and after Bakugou finally let go he was smacked. Deserved.
“Why the hell did you ignore me after 7th period!? Did I do something wrong?” Even when he was trying to be tough Kaminari knew exactly what the blonde felt. He wanted to get on his knees and bed for forgiveness but he didn’t because that would piss his boyfriend off.
“No you didn’t beautiful, you could never do anything wrong.” Even thought the drummer wanted to say something snarky back he couldn’t. He wanted to be explosive but instead he hugged his boyfriend closer. ‘I love this boy’ They both thought. But Kaminari noticed the split haired boy give him a thumbs up before running back to where he should be. He kissed Bakugou’s forehead, just because he could.
