Touch Starved
Pairing: Bakugo x reader
Tags: soft fluff, gentle
It's been a really long week... Month? Who knows how long it's actually been. You haven't been in the best mental state for quite some time, but it's been increasingly intense recently. It's felt like years since you were embraced, touched, loved in any capacity. The only comfort is knowing you're not alone, when Bakugo is eager to break the tension between you and give into the overwhelming need to Feel.
As you lay there with him, terrified that one touch would break the fragile air between you like crippled webbing. The lights low as you joke and talk as he smirks at you, giving gentle short remarks between stories. He isn't much for talking, much rather yelling, but when he speaks, he offers promise and a tenderness little know exit. His words short and full of meaning as he delicately and clumsily compliments your imagination and the tinkle of your voice in the darkness. You two can feel the pull between your skin. A heat that otherwise feels ice cold if not for him being so close. You dare to rest your arm against his strong bicep. The warmth emanating from his skin settles in your core as you inch ever closer for more.
You would have never thought a moment like this would be possible between the two of you, given the type of man that lay before you. Guarded, intense, and strong willed Bakugo. When he asked to stay longer after dinner with the group, a seldom had occasion with everyones busy schedules as pros, there was no way you could refuse him an extension. You had started to see much more of him in the field recently since you switched squadrons. Which was a delight for you, but he never quite seemed as interested. That is untill your first few moments alone. What felt like months ago, your first chance encounter at being close to him on duty was a genuine gift, and you relished in its simplicity. Never seeing this far from those fleeting moments at work.
As you lost yourself in thought Bakugo took the lead to invade your space a little more. As he pushed his arm flush with yours, his fingers gingerly layed out across your small hand. You snap back to reality and without thinking grasp as his large hand. The warmth in you intensified by his hot palm on yours. You hesitate for a moment before pivoting your head to meet his gaze. His vermilion eyes are locked on you, his face dusted red and his angular jaw tense with anticipation. You beam at him, hoping he understands your subtle invitation to come closer. You laugh quietly as the awkwardness of the moment grows. Neither of you brave enough to move despite the growing hunger in your chest begging for more. You close your eyes and lean into his chest, resting your head where his heart should be. To your amazement his heart is racing, beating so hard you can feel it in your cheek. His body tenses slightly as he tries to stutter out a comment, before its lost to his breath. Before long he wraps his arms around you, breathing in deep. He does all he can to stay calm.
He wouldn't admit it out loud but hes had few chances to engage with others in any form of intimacy. Playing out fantasies of these moments was all he had to go on as his urge to move forward clouded his mind. He leaned his head in and nestled his nose in your hair, taking in a breath and smelling the sweetness of your shampoo, a soft coffee sent filling his lungs. His hands glided up and down your back as you pressed into him. The need growing between you as you inched your way across his firm body. Gracelessly you both shift until your arms and legs tangle together, the high of the moment enthralling you as you come face to face with him. His eyes hooded as if intoxicated by you. He moves his hand to rest on your hot pink cheek, brushing his callous thumb across your soft warmed skin. You smile, unable to think of words as you struggle to maintain your breathing. This moment, simply wrapped around eachother is more than you have been craving. You paw at the back of his neck and shoulder as you burry yourself in the concave of his chest and arm. He chuckles, his chest rumbling against your face as he settles in. This is more that you could have ever dreamt of, being able to embrace someone as wild as him, your tension begining to fall away with every staggering breath. Bakugo takes a breath in before placing a reluctant kiss on the crown of your head. Your brain buzzes as the warmth inside you ignites into a full blown flame. You raise your head from its tucked away place. Your eyes meeting again, the light glistening in his glowing red eyes. Before you could take a single breath, he presses into your soft lips, his hand capturing your face again as he pushes in deeper, letting his need take over. His other hand finds the small of your back as he pulls you in as close as he can. It felt as if explosions were going off in your head. You didn't know how utterly touch starved youd become. Your body reacting to his touch like electric shocks. You hold eachother in place, your lips released but not yet parted from another. Your forhead falls into his as your noses cross. Bakugo reaches past your ear and prushes your hair from your face as it tickles his cheeks.
You both stay like this for what feels like hours until Bakugos gravely voice breaks your eternal silence.
"Um, thank you for letting me stay... Youre uh... Youre really pretty, angel face."
You breathe a reassuring hum in acknowledgement as your head nods slightly.
If only this awkward lovely moment could last forever.
