The midday sun bathed the sidewalk as Deku and Bakugo returned from an ice cream run, a gentle breeze rustling the air. Bakugo glanced down at Deku, who was muttering over his notes, a rare smile breaking through his usual scowl. Realizing his expression, he flushed, awkwardly rubbing his neck before dropping his treat. “Shit…” Deku giggled at the mess, teasing him, which only made Bakugo huff and roll his eyes, though he couldn’t suppress his own smile. They debated their plans, with Deku suggesting a horror movie. Bakugo scoffed, claiming it would only scare the ‘nerd,’ but agreed to head back. Later, they were found cuddled on Bakugo’s couch, the tension between them palpable.
