Summary
"It’s not like Kirishima had come all this way to U.A. to immediately break the promise he made to himself upon arrival.
It’s just that Bakugou is as feral as they come, and the moment Kirishima recognizes it’s fear he felt crawling up his spine that day, he makes it his personal mission to face it head-on until it’s gone."
Being friends with Bakugou Katsuki is anything but a linear experience. Kirishima Eijirou would have it no other way.

Summary
“Bakugou will know what to do. Top of the class, always quick on his feet and possessing the strongest nerves in all of 1-A – all of U.A., possibly. They’re at their most invincible with Bakugou there to hone their focus, to push them forward with that unique kind of teeth-bared tenacity Kaminari has come to rely on in the past year. When Kaminari looks, he sees–
Iida, helmet off, severe face twisted with agitation as he argues with the medics on the scene. Blood, so much blood, staining the gleaming chrome of his armor up to his neck in wet, intersecting streaks of crimson.
And in his arms, mask torn and body limp, is Bakugou Katsuki.”
In which disaster strikes, the Bakusquad comes together as a family once more, and Kaminari Denki is the MVP all the way through.

Summary
“Talk to me, Kirishima wants to tell him, it doesn’t matter what it sounds like, but that’s not how Bakugou works. Not with the stuff that has him up in his head like this.
Taking Bakugou’s hand in his, Kirishima lets their fingers fall into place naturally, calluses rasping against calluses. A gentle squeeze gets the same message across, and Bakugou’s gaze softens.
‘Eijirou… What are we, exactly?’”
Bakugou and Kirishima explore some things and define others, together.

Summary
“Kirishima exhales in that slow and tired way that’s become more common for him, like his boundless optimism has been drained along with his smile and fuck, Bakugou misses it all so much it makes his heart hurt.
‘Alright, just… Tell me if it’s too much. You’ve been through enough, Nitro.’
So have you.
Yet spelling it out would only feed the guilt Kirishima carries everywhere he goes, that self-inflicted notion that he’s not doing enough when he’s already given everything and more. Instead, Bakugou runs a careful hand through the limp strands of Kirishima’s hair, brushing them back, pretending not to see the faded pink at the tips or the black roots growing in.
‘Promise. Yeah? I promise, Ei.’”
Bakugou Katsuki and Kirishima Eijirou regroup at the end of a very exhausting day.

Summary
"Kirishima realizes two simple facts in quick succession: One, he’s still crying, fat tears splashing on Bakugou’s hair and triggering his instinct to comfort him even while very much asleep, and two...
Gold rings, emotional speeches, engagement, marriage. That will never be them. Kirishima will never ‘pop the question’, because there’s no scenario — real or imagined — in which Bakugou would say yes.
Never.
His partner, who gives him so much already. Who has his back both in life and in the field, who holds Kirishima together when he breaks, and trusts Kirishima to catch him when he plummets from the sky.
Always."
Kirishima and Bakugou have been partners for ten years, living in domestic bliss with their dog Snowball. And then they watch The Proposal.
