Kirishima swallowed and then nodded slowly. Hesitant and a little embarrassed, he walked towards the shelf.

He cleared his throat. "It's better to be prepared, isn't it?" He laughed nervously.

"No need to freak out, Red. I don't want to push you. I just thought, while we're already here ..." Although Bakugou came across relaxed on the outside, his cheeks were also slightly red.

Kirishima shook his head and smiled slightly. "I know. So, which ones do we get?" He studied the numerous packages slightly overwhelmed.

Bakugou sighed. "Don't think so hard," he said with a teasing undertone, reaching for a simple pack of condoms and a tube of lube.

Kirishima nodded with a smile and took the two packages. Together they went to the checkout. Although Kirishima knew that he didn't have to be embarrassed and the cashier scanned everything without comment, this light red blush only faded from his cheeks when everything disappeared in a small bag.

When they stepped outside, Bakugou instantly took Kirishima's hand again. Immediately a grin crept onto the redhead's face. All the way back they talked about anything and everything. To be precise, Kirishima spoke enthusiastically, while Bakugou nodded approvingly or asked a few small questions. The blonde watched Kirishima's profile as he gestured exuberantly, putting on his distinctive shark grin.

When the redhead briefly interrupted his chatter, Bakugou stopped and pulled him by his wrist to kiss him. Kirishima paused in surprise, but finally laid his hands on his neck, pulled him closer, and returned the unexpected kiss happily. The kiss was short but intense.

"Katsuki?" Kirishima asked grinning as he pulled away from him, leaving his hands around Bakugou's neck.

Bakugou snorted. "What am I supposed to do when you look so damn good?" he grumbled and broke away from him to keep walking.

"Aw! Thanks, Kat. I could say the same thing about you," Kirishima replied with a grin and immediately reached for Bakugou's hand with his own.

When they reached the dormitory and entered the common room through the entrance door, they were greeted by Mina's loud whooping.

"What's up with you, Mina?" Kirishima asked, laughing and rubbing his ears.

"It's true, isn't it? What Kami and Sero say?" she asked excitedly. The gaze of her big amber eyes bounced between Bakugou and Kirishima.

Bakugou just frowned as Kirishima looked at her, confused. Then he looked at Kaminari sitting on the sofa and making a little heart gesture with his hands. He wasn't sitting there alone, half the class had gathered in the common room and stared at them waiting for an answer.

When Kirishima realized what Mina was asking for, he nodded smiling. "That seems to be making the rounds pretty fast." He looked sheepishly at his classmates.

"I told you so!" Kaminari shouted and gestured wildly in Bakugou and Kirishima's direction.

Bakugou looked annoyed. Why was everyone so excited?

"It's hard to believe that the first couple in our class includes Bakugou," Mina shouted excitedly.

"What's that supposed to mean, Pinky?" Bakugou shouted, upset. His hands were clenched in fists and small explosive sparks burst through his closed fingers.

"It's all right, Kat. She didn't mean it that way," Kirishima reassured him. He reached for Bakugou's clenched fist, opened it and laced his fingers with his. The tension of the blonde lessened a bit.

"Whatever," he hummed.

Mina held her hand in front of her mouth, still looking at the couple. Bakugou had never given in to anyone so quickly and calmed down. She was about to make a comment about that when she caught Kirishima's warning look. She bit her tongue but couldn't suppress a grin.

"Where have you two been?" she asked instead.

"Just at the drugstore. I have to re-dye my hair and needed new color," Kirishima replied honestly.

"Just new color, yeah?" she asked and eyed the small bag, which clearly contained more than just one package.

"What? Do you want to see for yourself?" Bakugou growled with his teeth clenched. Kirishima froze. Had Bakugou just seriously offered that? What if Mina found the condoms and the lube? The redhead struggled to stay calm.

But Mina just stared at Bakugou intensely, who had lifted the bag slightly to offer it to her.

Then she looked over to Kirishima, who desperately tried to suppress the rising blush in his cheeks.

"It's okay, I believe you!" she raised her hands defensively and winked at Kirishima. "Do you wanna join us?"

Kirishima looked over to his boyfriend. Between his blonde eyebrows was a deep crease and the corners of his lips were pulled down in an irritated expression. Nevertheless, he remained at Kirishima's side and held his hand tightly.

The redhead decided to stop torturing his boyfriend and shook his head. He said goodbye to everyone quickly. Mina pouted but released them from the interrogation.

When they stepped through Kirishima's door together, Bakugou breathed a sigh of relief, which made Kirishima smile a little.

"What? Was it that bad?" he asked laughing.

Bakugou snorted. "That was a fucking interrogation!"

"Come on, it wasn't that bad. She's just curious."

Bakugou clicked his tongue with irritation. "What did she mean when she said we were the first couple? I thought Pikachu and the rocker girl were together."

Kirishima shook his head. "The two would be together if Kami finally had the courage to ask her. But he's just too chicken."

"Tch. Idiot."

Kirishima snickered. "Remind me to kick his ass. It's really about time. But at least it gives us the title of the first couple of 1A."

Bakugou's corners of his mouth twitched upwards. "Does that mean we won?"

Kirishima laughed. "It's not all a competition, Kat."

"That's what you say," he replied with a grin, pulling Kirishima to himself. His eyes wandered to his boyfriend's red ones.

"I love you," he said in earnest before giving him a brief kiss.

Kirishima smiled. "I love you too, Kat."
