[ they don't talk about the shower deal, true, but in denji's defense— he is distracted with other more urgent matters, such as the fact he is courting a man for the first time in his life and it's an odd realization. the good thing about bakugou is he's not an awkward individual who would test his shortcomings and isn't the type to drop a question with every single move he makes. it makes this journey of self-awareness less of a mess, and he matches the other's energy. not that denji was restless if he's honest with himself. confused, but not nervous. there is a lot of shit in his life right now, things that are worth pressing on his anxiety and pumping his adrenaline, and his mild interest in his partner will not be grouped with all this negativity. the reality is simple, he has a choice. this is his choice. he wants it for reasons he has yet to understand but the desire is clear. so why must he deprive himself of a much-needed fucking break?
he chuckled under his breath, relaxing back on the sofa with a lazy smile. ] ... I've been on dates before coming here.
[ failure after another, but denji had his share of testing the waters with the soft gender. except, every woman that seemed to be interested in him either threw up in his mouth and sexually assaulted him, another tried to kill him, more killing attempts, one was turned into a dog, and then one more sexual assault. not a bright record one might say— traumatizing even, but he didn't need to use bakugou as a stepping stone. more scrolling, and then it slowed down and settled on a new action hit. zombies. let's watch some zombies killing people on this romantic date. it's quite fitting for this city, isn't it?
more importantly, bakugou said 'yes'. it's a bit— surprising, as he was lowkey prepared to defend his argument more only to get acceptance with ease. if he didn't know that guy the way he did, denji would've assumed this was coming off from a place of compassion. however, bakugou would never ever humor him this way. he'd get a flat-out 'fuck off' with a blast to the face if he wasn't ... well, fine with it. okay. not gonna lie, he is flattered. a bit. teeny weeny little bit. ]
I can promise you it's the best fucking date I had so far. It's normal. Normal is not bad in my world.
[ as the movie begins, denji boosts up the volume a touch, not too loud that it would make it hard to have a conversation, setting up the mood of a cinema experience in their humble common area. the everlight base was empty tonight, quiet, with tame lighting. it's those small details that barely caught his attention that are slowly becoming more vivid. hmm. he glanced at bakugou from the corner of his eye, he'd wait for him to notice before he asked. ]
