“Can I have a Cold Brew with milk and he’ll have a-” Katsuki looked at Denki to his right.

“Iced Americano, please.” Denki grinned. Katsuki raised an eyebrow.

“Can i get anything else for you boys?” the cashier asked 

“No, thanks.” Katsuki stated plainly digging out his wallet and paying for the coffee, before walking over to one of the two seaters to sit down. It was nice to get a day for themselves, after everything that goes on at UA. “Iced Americano?”

Kaminari smiled, “it’s my usual.”

“I figured you for more of a light coffee with copious amounts of sugar and whipped cream.” He sat in the same chair every time they went to this cafe. The one in the corner of the cafe and a good view of the door. He set his legs wide, his arms crossed on the table as he leaned forward. He was the picture of confidence. But also the picture of vigilance. He could see everything going on in the shop, and that was exactly how he wanted it. He was out on a date, and he was going to do anything he could to protect his boyfriend. That includes watching his back. “You always seemed like the type to have a specific Starbucks order that took a year to say out loud.”

Denki threw his head back and laughed. “Nah, babe! If I'm gonna drink coffee I want to taste the bean, otherwise what’s the point? The bitterness is part of the experience!” He sat directly in front of katsuki. His position was much less rigid than the other boys. He sat with one leg up on the chair with his knee up at his chest and his elbow resting on top of it, as he leaned back in his chair, and let the other leg stretch out under the table. He was comfortable, and Katsuki was determined to keep it that way.  

“There’s no way you actually feel that way, Lightning Bug. You have the biggest fucking sweet tooth that i have ever seen, how do you genuinely enjoy straight coffee?” Katsuki spoke. 

“Well, an Iced Americano is really just watered down espresso, so it’s not really straight coffee, but I don't usually drink black coffee that I haven't made.” Denki explained, a smile on his face, “I like to do it myself.”

“How do I not know this about you?” Katsuki asked. He was genuinely curious. “We’ve been dating for how long? 3 months?  And I've known you for even longer than that. What else don’t I know?” 

Denki stopped for a second. Alot. There is so much of himself that he keeps private, and so much of that, he’s never told anyone before. But is he really ready to take that step? “What can I say, Kacchan? I am a paragon of mystery.”

“Are you now?” They’re interrupted when the barista calls out his name, and their drinks 

“I’ll go get it!” Kaminari jumps out of his seat before Bakugou can protest. 

He watches as Denki flounces over to get their drinks, grabbing straws and those little cardboard koozies that keep your hands from being affected by the temperature of the drinks. He never takes his eyes off of him. He would do anything to protect this boy. Katsuki knows that Denki still hides things, he can see it in his eyes. But that’s okay. Because he hides things too. Hell, who is ever able to interpret his emotions? That’s not by accident. Katsuki does plan on sticking around to continue learning about Denki, and to open up himself. 

He only shifts his focus when he sees a figure with pink skin walking up to the door while Denki is walking back with their drinks. In a split second he feels more emotions than he has ever felt in his life, before finally settling on exasperation. I just can’t do anything without these fucking idiots following me, can I? I just want to go on a date in peace.

Denki plops his drink down in front of him before sitting back down in his seat, “What’s caught your eye, babe?”

Bakugou growls, “A bunch of fucking idiots.”

“Bakugou!” A very high and very loud voice catches their attention. Kaminari follows Katsuki’s gaze to none other than Ashido Mina.

“What are you guys doing here?” Sero asked, from his new perch to Bakugou's right, on the chair he pulled up to Katsuki and Denki's table. Todoroki stood next to him and Ashido sat to Katsuki's left. 

“None of your goddamn business, soy sauce face,'' Katsuki glared. He loved his friends, however reluctantly. But he wanted some alone time with his boyfriend goddammit. We already live together, what the hell else do you want, hah? 

“I did notice that you guys have been leaving campus alot lately, denki, but i didn’t realize you guys were going together.” Ashido pried.

“Well yeah! We are bros, you know!” Denki responds, a mischievous glint in his eye. 

“So are we!” Sero exclaimed, “Why don’t you ever take me out for coffee?”

“Because you’re fucking annoying.”

“And Denki's not?” Todoroki stated from where he leaned on sero’s chair. 

“What did you just say icy hot?” Katsuki’s hands sparked.

“Is Kaminari not annoying to you as well?” Todoroki blinked. 

“Of course not!” Denki grins, standing up from his chair, and waking over to Katsuki. “He loves me~! Right, babe?” He promptly planted himself in Katsuki’s lap. 

“Whatever,” Katsuki looked away, but wrapped his arms around Denki's waist none the less. 

Denki giggled and kissed katsuki on the cheek. “He’s just shy.”

Katsuki rolled his eyes, and pinched Denki’s thigh. 

“Ow! What the fuck?!” Denki laughed. 

“Oh. My. God.” Ashido gasped. “Oh my god! They’re dating!”

Denki looked around at his friends' reactions. Todoroki had moved to sit in denki’s chair, and had a faint smile on his face. Hey, that’s a major reaction out of mr. stoic. Mina had stood up and was pointing at them, still unable to believe that she hadn’t noticed before. She was still shouting at them, asking how long they’d been together, and why she didn’t know about it. Sero was about to fall out of his chair laughing. They were causing a scene. Practically the whole cafe was staring. 

Denki was thriving off of the attention, but Katsuki put a stop to it. “Alright you damn extras, get out of here! Let me have a fucking date in peace!” 

Todoroki, the saint he is, guided sero and ashido out of the cafe, but not before looking at bakugou and stating, “Remember this next time you think we aren’t friends.” He fucking smiled too, that damn bastard. 

Bakugou averted his attention to the boy in his lap. “Why are you like this?” He pressed his forehead against Denki’s. 

“I don’t know, but you love me anyway.” Denki smiled. 

“Mmmhm, unfortunately,” Bakugou pressed his lips to denkis,and they kissed there for a moment, before katsuki pulled away and patted at denki’s legs. “Get up, I intend on finishing this date.”
