[ To be fair, he is quick about washing up and rinsing off. He's taken enough blows to know that sitting in the bathtub while sore is doable, but if it's your lower back and legs that hurt it's not the best method of relaxing.

Telling Bakugou he looks like a wet dandelion isn't going to win him any points but he thinks it, and that's enough. The shower is shut off and Midoriya crouches down to grab something out from under the sink before dripping his way over to the lump of complaining pro-hero in the bath. He adds a quick dump of the salt he'd grabbed, figuring that'll maybe not help but smell nice and not hurt. ]

Alright, give me just...a second.

[ He's surveying the situation like it's a battlefield and not a bathtub, slowly one foot, then the next, easing into the nearly too-hot water with a low groan as he ends up with his back against the tub wall, legs stretched out. One damp hand lifts and beckons Bakugou closer, folding him in against his own body once they get situated, already digging fingers into the meat of his shoulders to start working kinks out. ]

From:

dynamight

Mn... Come on already...

[The salt soak gets poured in, and Bakugou watches it all like a hawk. Watches Midoriya painstakingly climb in, not unlike a predator waiting in the brush. Even before Midoriya goes to give the signal, Bakugou is twisting and snaking in.

He isn't as heavy as he would be with the water, thank God, but he drops everything of himself on top of Midoriya's chest, swallows the other man as much as he can when Midoriya nearly matches him anyway.

There's a soft, air moan as he tucks his face in against Midoriya's neck, trying to rest his head in the crook of the shoulder without water splashing up into his ear or on the side of his face. Ahhh, finally. Relaxation. And other than his sore ass, he feels good for it.

One of the few times Midoriya is going to get snuggled on purpose by him except for the occasional times when he's just about to fall asleep or just waking up. Enjoy.]

From:

Oof. Watch your knee, Kacchan.

[ Midoriya goes as still as humanly possible to let Bakugou settle however he intend to but the moment he's finally stopped moving he eases back a little further and shamelessly starts touching him.

The sex is good, great, even. They fight well together when they manage to work together without arguing. Midoriya's not the most experienced ever with relationships but they work together well, too, as far as he can tell. Still, nothing is quite like this. This is the kind of thing he usually manages to get late nights or early mornings it's infrequent at best, since they have so much going on. Having a whole day together is good, but a whole afternoon where Bakugou's compliant and lazy and cuddly is something Midoriya is going to get as much out of as he can. ]

You gonna fall asleep?

[ It's not the best angle but he works his way into the meat of a bicep and then goes further down to where he'd been holding Bakugou's arms tight, massaging out any tension that might be there, lazily dropping kisses on damp hair. He's teasing, but really the concern is that he'll fall asleep. ]

One of us has to stay awake. We can't drown in the bathtub.

From:

dynamight

[Midoriya gets a kind of thurping noise of mild acknowledgment. The fingers are delicious, but he pays less attention to their work and more to the heat of the water and how well he fits against Midoriya's body. The clean scent of soaped skin is lulling.]

Mm. M'awake... damn... Just... dozing.

[The arms don't feel as bad as the ass, but they look a little rough for right now. By the morning, they won't be as noticeable--the reddish bands of where Midoriya had wrestled him and held him in place. They're more like battle wounds than abuse scars.

In any regard, his head bumps under Midoriya's jaw before settling again. He's quiet for a while, and the steady depth of his breathing is like he's fallen asleep. His lashes don't brush back and forth over Midoriya's neck; he must have them shut.

But his low, growlish voice breaks the silence.] You got stronger.

From:

pacifisting

Mhm.

[ Down one arm and then onto the next and once those are done, he's running his hands over the expanse of wet skin, tracing the line of his shoulder, drawing circles with his fingers over Bakugou's spine.

From this angle the red of his ass is very noticeable; Midoriya won't apologize for it because it's not something to apologize for but he's glad he has lotion, somewhere, some ridiculously expensive stuff from a care package sent to him after a mission. That was a weird thing to get, but he supposes it's better than some alternatives.

For a while, he's lost in his own thoughts. His eyes close after a few minutes of sitting there and he tips his head back, listening to Bakugou breathe. There's a jump when he finally speaks, startled, like he hadn't expected Bakugou to start talking again. ] I... so did you. I didn't want to be behind when I got back to all of you.

From:

dynamight

Idiot.

[He doesn't move from where he's at; his breath is warm on the wet slope of Midoriya's neck where his lips stay. The water is, in general, placid, but there's a hint of dismissal in his tone even if he's not splashing around.

Didn't want to get behind. Bakugou very faintly scoffs to himself. Like hell. He'd be a moron to not admit the fact they'd be behind if Midoriya came here alone and then went back to them. They'd be the one in the dust. Midoriya would have jumped several levels above them with the experience.]

You wouldn't have been fucking behind anybody. I wouldn't have let you come back if you were.

From:

pacifisting

No more Izuku, huh?

[ It was not going to last, he knows.

With a faux-disappointed sigh, Midoriya lifts a leg out of the water to turn the dripping faucet off and then drops it back in to tangle with Bakugou's legs. Next time he does the whole jerk-naming thing maybe Midoriya'll call him something disgustingly sweet, instead.

Baby, he mouths, because that one is the first that comes to mind. Imagining saying it isn't as bad as it could be. There's this thing they taught at the foster meeting about positive reinforcement with pets. Bakugou wasn't of course, a pet, but yelling at him didn't work, and asking him to stop wouldn't get anywhere.

So, hybrid solution for the future, maybe. Midoriya runs a kiss along his hairline, cheek resting on top of his head for a moment while he listens to him talk, shivering faintly at the contrast of his breath on cool skin. ]

Let me come back? You would have personally stopped the plane. [ pause, wait, this is Bakugou. ] You probably would've. It's a good thing you're coming back with me, then.

From:

dynamight

[Saying Izuku would get better with time, but right now, saying it feels entirely more intimate than Izuku calling him Kacchan which is already about as intimate as it gets. Hopefully, he'll pull the stick out of his ass and start just using Izuku, his pride and their history be damned.]

I'd have stopped the whole goddamn plane. [The positive reinforcement needs to come sooner rather than later.] I came to make sure you were up to par and weren't embarrassing the rest of us in front of shitty Americans.

[He came because he was lonely and worried.]

Mn.

From:

pacifisting

If you were worried about that you wouldn't have told me to come here.

[ His chest rumbles with a laugh and both of his arms come up in a loose, not lingering hug.

Midoriya's kind of dumb about something but not about this. It means a lot that Bakugou even considered staying here let alone that he actually did it. He knows where they stand with each other and it isn't on I came to save you from yourself. But pointing that out isn't going to do anything good, either. Smothering a yawn, he drapes an arm around Bakugou and tips his head against the neck-rest once more. ]

I'm glad you're here. I don't regret doing it but it's... [ Terrifying, mostly. Midoriya lets out another little laugh, sheepish. The honest truth: ] It really just makes All Might seem even cooler. It's terrifying, but he did it. I have to do my best, too.

From:

dynamight

Shut up...

[It's muttered thickly in the groove of Midoriya's neck where he won't take his face from in the slightest. There's some grumbling about the movement, about the hug, the sloshing water as Midoriya shifts the heavy arms and wide hands, but it's nothing more than fuss.]

Yeah. [His soft is surprisingly soft. The lashes of his eyes tickle Midoriya's jawline, closed, open, looking to the side.] You've got big fucking shoes to fill for someone who fucking gave some of One For All to me.

[He doesn't sound mad. Maybe... concerned, in his own way. He still doesn't like that he has One For All, insurance or not. All Might had it, and All Might gave it to Midoriya for a reason. Bakugou respect that more than anything.

So it means Midoriya is getting the damn quirk back.]

From:

pacifisting

[ He needs to keep moving or he's going to fall asleep. It helps to have his hands doing something, but eventually, he settles for the loose armhold, fingers dragging tiny circles. ]

I'll take it back, Kacchan.

[ It'd never been with the intent to keep it with Bakugou forever. Admittedly, now that he understood how it worked, he wasn't sure what it meant that it'd been so long. If Bakugou's head lifts to do it, his will too but for the moment he's still. He hasn't gotten all of the information he wanted out of this so far, and Mr. Stark's labs are the best place to test it to undertand it but he can do that on his own. ]

And don't... don't say it like that. There's nothing wrong with you, Kacchan. I told you, there's no one else I'd rather be here with me.

From:

dynamight

[The reassurance is received, but not commented on except for a soft grunt into Midoriya's neck. The acknowledgement is the gentle squeeze of his thick arms around Midoriya's middle, like he's shifting, but it's pretty much a hug in all sense of things.]

I know you're gonna take it back, dammit. I said you would. And I don't think nothin' is wrong with-- [--me?

There's a noise that starts in pretty much every room, a kind of ringing chime through the intercom systems on the wall.] What the hell is that? [To Bakugou, it sounds like... a phone. Oh no.

He's already starting to loosen his arms and pull away like a frightened cat. But instead of getting prepared to jump out, he sinks down further into the water, letting it rise up over his shoulders, up his neck, up over his nose. He gives Midoriya a Look of both worry and warning.

Do not video call with his ass in here; he'll die. Because he will go under and hold his breath.]

From:

pacifisting

Well then don't say it like tha—

[ Oh. Midoriya blinks up at the ceiling and opens his mouth only to realize Bakugou's tense and sinking down, not up. ]

...Kacchan.

[ That's not going to help if you drown, buddy. Midoriya rolls his eyes to the ceiling and pets a hand through Bakugou's hair. There should be call prioritization; if it's not an emergency then it's his boss. As if on cue, JARVIS points out that it's Mr. Stark and Midoriya's eyes go wide.

S-Sure, just a sec. It takes some wiggling to get the monitor to not show that he's naked in the bath with the other person Stark just hired and while the call is short, Midoriya's face is on fire the whole time and he keeps jumbling his words. He survives, somehow. Stark hangs up and Midoriya refuses to think about how JARVIS sounds faintly amused as the video screen pulls back and Midoriya is left looking at Bakuguo in the water. ]

...you can come up now.

From:

dynamight

[Right before the screen comes on, Bakugou bobs up and takes a deep breath before disappearing under the water up to his eyeballs. He's banking on the fact, if the Midoriya can get the monitor right, he'll be hidden by the walls of the tub and won't have to go under completely.

But boy he looks like an irritable cat in the eyes the whole time, locked on Midoriya though he appears to be listening intently to the voice on the other side of the tub.

That bastard who hasn't bothered to meet him just yet. Damn, he wants to throw himself up and fussy, but it'd only be awkward for the two of them who are stuck together in the tub. This sucks. He has to sit and stew. He can't even pop off at the palms; the water dampens the sweat and the nitro... but maybe the bath starts smell a tad sweeter.

Finally, he breaches the surface and gasps loudly.] Ass! [He's thankful for good stamina even if he had been reaching the end of his air supply.]

What the hell!

From:

pacifisting

[ He's given Barkugou a couple baths since getting her. It's always an adventure because she hates it, he hates it, but it's totally necessary and he usually ends up getting nipped at a couple times. This isn't that different, really. If anything there's just as much of a chance of being bitten.

Giving Bakugou a flat look, he lifts a hand and flicks water off his fingertips and at his cheeks and nose gently. ]

He's um... Actually, everyone here is very...personable. [ Delicately trying to find a way to say loud and nosy. ] He's probably the most out of any of the people here, though. You...get used to it? Mostly.

From:

dynamight

[Surprisingly? It works. He doesn't even get angry about the water in his face, just flinches in reflex then grumbles low under his breath and wipes his face with the back of an arm.]

Tch. Don't they know any damn thing about privacy? Fuck off.

[His face pinches, but... he actually starts to slowly relax, slowly make his way back between Midoriya's knees and up against Midoriya's chest. Not quite as tucked as before although he props his chin on a meaty part of Midoriya's pectoral.]

Americans.

From:

pacifisting

I think he considers privacy a guideline or something.

[ Like a dubious cat. Bakugou sinks back down onto him and Midoriya sinks back in turn, his arm going right back around Bakugou's broad shoulders. ]

How is your chin so pointy.

[ It's not really a question or a complaint; Midoriya slits one eye open to look at him before his lip twitches up despite himself, and he relaxes back into the bath. ]

They're...something. Here, especially. People just yell at you! It's normal! [ To be fair Bakugou just yells at him half the time but that's different. ]

From:

dynamight

Mn. Shut up...

[Purposefully, he doesn’t lift his chin or turn his head to rest his cheek on Midoriya’s chest instead. His red eyes narrow suspicious, one brow arching sharply.] The hell is so funny, nerd? [The expression dissipates into something mildly exasperated about the rise in Midoriya’s voice. Look. It isn’t often Midoriya does it. Honestly, it’s kind of... thrilling. For a moment.

But he scoffs and rolls his eyes.] Yeah, well, if they yell, I’m gonna fucking yell back. Ain’t nobody gonna yell at me and get away with it. Mn... [Only then does he finally knock Midoriya with his chin and turn his head to the side.]

From:

pacifisting

You shut up.

[ There's no heat to it, just amusement. New York is wild and everyone here is loud and kind of rude but it's thrilling and Midoriya loves it as much as he's perpetually tired by it. ]

Yeah, I know you will. That's what I'm worried about. [ Not that worried, though, because Bakugou's made it this far and he's grown a great deal. It feels weird to be proud of that when he hasn't had too much to do with it but he is all the same. ] Hey.

[ He tips his head up enough to drop a smooch on Bakugou's forehead and then moves again, his hand trailing down to press against Bakugou's ass lightly. ]

Let me put something on this later? To help with the sting, at least a little bit.

[WOW. Wow. Midoriya has gotten the hottest sense of fire he's ever seen in his life ever since they jumped into U.A. In a way, Bakugou enjoys it. The step-up Midoriya has given him. On the other hand, it's strange to get back what he gives.

It breaks down his resolve. So he ends up merely making a sour expression, hides his face against Midoriya's collar until the, Hey. He glances up in time to get smacked on the forehead with a kiss. Nice...

Then his ass is touched, and he jumps lightly out of habit, splashing water.] Hey! Nn. [Somewhat embarrassed, he again concealing his face at the start of Midoriya's neck.] M'fine.

You just want an excuse to touch my ass.

From:

pacifisting

[ He's not worried he's offended Bakugou, necessarily, but there's a beat of concern when Bakugou presses his face further into Midoriya's throat that he's not sure if it's alright. ]

It's not that! [ Well, it is. A little. But he doesn't need spanking Bakugou as a reason to touch his boyfriend...boything's ass. Not when it's readily available for the next few months. He likes doing it, sure, because it is a nice ass and it's good for Bakugou to know that he appreciates it or something.

But also, he just...wants to take care of him. Going to bed early is about the only thing he can think of Bakugou doing for himself and Midoriya's not much better but he does want to do this, small things that benefit both of them. ] You'd let me touch it anyway, Kacchan. But no, it's just... you know, when I was away? I didn't think anything could happen to either of us, but if it did...

[ This is like 1000 times more somber than he intended, and now his face is warm, embarrassed at his own softness. ]

Nevermind. The offer's there if you want. I'd also be fine just getting more cheesesteaks and wandering downtown, though.

From:

dynamight

Tch.

[Yeah, okay. Midoriya isn't wrong. Bakugou would let the other man touch his ass whenever, but not without making some kind of earning of it. Or taunting.

For a long moment or two, he's quiet, his brows drawn together. He doesn't lift his face to look at Midoriya's; he knows what's being thought, he understands the weight of what's being said. And he hates it. Mostly because it's things he also thinks about often.] Fine. [Carefully, he untangles himself and draws away without reluctance or hesitation.]

Hurry up and get the hell out then. [Is he waiting? No. He's climbing out of water and tub himself, not worried about being completely wet and dragging for one of the towels.

There ain't no reason this guy should be looking this much like a snack. Wet and well-defined, thick legs and thick arms, thicker shoulders but with all of it balanced symmetrically, with it not being too big. Maybe it's something Midoriya wants to chase back out to the bed.

A short cacophony of high barks greets him when he leaves with nothing but the towel.] Yeah, yeah. Master's busy catering to me because I'm not the fraud. [This gets a few more barks, but there's a playful growl of noise in return.]

From:

pacifisting

I-I meant, you know, later not...

[ What does it matter what he meant, since Bakugou's getting out of the bath without a second thought. Midoriya yelps quietly as he's showered with water and gets a face full of Bakugou on his way up before he hops out.

It takes Midoriya moment to recover and not stare like he's being presented with a ten-course meal after just eating. He knows the line of Bakugou's body intimately, has kissed and touched nearly every inch of all that skin that's damp and on display for him but it still makes him a little bit stupid.

Then, Bakugou is gone and Midoriya's still in the bath like a moron. He fumbles for the plug and hauls himself out, giving himself a cursory once-over with the towel and then uses a touch of his quirk to end up behind the other man, sliding damp arms around him, pressing a kiss to the nape of his neck. ]

It really is too bad you can't walk around like that all the time.

From:

dynamight

[Out of reflex, Bakugou tenses slightly when Midoriya suddenly appears, but then he relaxes in the arms and under the kiss.] I can if I wanna. [BUT, the point:]

Ain't no one else got any business seeing my ass except you anyway.

[Who said he can't be as possessive over himself as he is over Midoriya? He's too Good, deep down. There's rules to abide by even in relationships. Like not screwing around when your boyfriend-not-boyfriend flies off across the damn globe for half a year. He's an ass, but he's got some respect for standards.

Without saying anything, he twists in Midoriya's hold so they're facing. He peers at Midoriya a moment, and then he suddenly stoops a bit, looping his arms around Midoriya's middle and waist. It's not hard to haul even the other man up over his shoulder again, tucking an arm around the back of the thighs. It's not hard, but it's a challenge; Midoriya isn't a light-weight with all the muscle.]

Stop wasting time, nerd. You owe me an ass rub. I'm gonna collect.

[Which means he's carting Midoriya off to the bed again. Give him his ass massage.]

From:

pacifisting

[ The searching look gets a smile in response, soft and warm and kind of dopey. Bakugou didn't mean it as some kind of grand romantic statement probably but that's sure what it sounded like and he's going to let himself simmer in the contentment that thought brings for a moment.

He doesn't realize what's happening because he's still sleepy and lax from orgasm and a bath, that's his excuse for why when Bakugou stoops, Midoriya winds up tossed over his shoulder again without even a chance to stop it.

Obediently, Midoriya pats the ass that's now in front of and below him, not fighting as he's manhandled over to what he's going to assume is the bed. How very caveman. (He can't pretend like he doesn't like it, though, so.) ]

Stop by the dresser and get the blue bottle out of the top drawer on our way past, then.
