He couldn't erase his grin as he walked in, almost giddy to see his best friend, the worry of the moment gone.
“Hey, buddy.” Katsuki’s dad said as soon as he walked in. Eijiro stayed by the entrance, the feeling of nerves creeping back up on him as quickly as they had left.
“I'm not fucking five, dad.” He heard Katsuki scoff.
“Don't swear, brat. We have a guest.” Said a woman.
“Another fucking doctor that's gonna tell me something's wrong with my head? Maybe I'd remember shit if these assholes stopped bugging me.”
“Katsuki, your doctors are just trying to help.” Katsuki’s dad assured him. “One of your friends is here, be nice.”
He heard Katsuki sigh, and he finally came from the cover of the door. He doesn't know why he's so nervous, considering that it's well…Katsuki . Maybe it's because he's around his parents for the first time. But they seem nice enough. And apparently, Katsuki talks about him. Which is a nice thing to know, especially because he loves to talk about Katsuki all the time.
But how could he not? He's his best friend and his super cute crush. The biggest crush he's ever had at this point. And it's just nice to talk about all the sweet things Katsuki does for him and how much he admires him. No one ever gets to see that side of Katsuki, the caring, considerate side. He always feels so special that he gets to see it.
Could you blame him for wanting to talk about Katsuki all the time?
“Someone else I'm not gonna remember from that stupid school I go to?”
“Katsuki…” the woman said again, a sigh heavy on her voice.
“What, Ma?”
He saw Katsuki in time to witness one of his signature eye-rolls, and he smiled.
“Hey, Kats. How are you feeling?” He greeted with a wave.
Katsuki’s eyes went wide, pretty pink flushing his cheeks and he swallowed, “Holy fucking shit.”
He walked an inch closer, “Man, I was so worried about you.” He admits, laughing quietly.
Katsuki shook his head for a split second, “Who the hell are you?”
Eijiro’s heart gave a single pound. His dad had said his brain was a little messed up, but…
“Um—ah, I'm Kirishima. Or uh, you like to call me Shitty Hair. Or Eiji.” His cheeks flamed as the words left him.
“Sorry, kid. The doctor said he was hit by some type of memory loss quirk,” explained Katsuki's mom.
“Oh,” he pouted, “That's okay. Uh—I mean, I'm sorry.”
“Not your fucking fault.” Katsuki said, scoffing.
“Why don't we let you two catch up? Want some food, Katsuki?” Katsuki's dad asked.
“Whatever.”
“What about you, kiddo? Have you eaten yet?” Katsuki’s dad turned to ask him.
“I'm fine, thank you!” Eijiro replied.
With that, Katsuki's parents left, and Eijiro didn't know how to act. Especially because Katsuki was staring him straight on, an intense glare like he was an equation he was analyzing.
“Who are you?” Katsuki said with a squint of his eyes.
“Um...Eijiro? We go to U.A together.”
“Fucking obviously.”
Summary:
Katsuki gets hit with a memory loss quirk and Eijiro doesn't know how to navigate thier "new" friendship.
Bakugou has nicknames for people. He calls Ashido "Raccoon Eyes", Todoroki "Icy Hot"–
And Kirishima "Shitty Hair".
This is all normal until Kiri and Baku start dating and Kaminari calls him out for it. "Dude, it's not nice to call your boyfriend a 'shithead'."
Bakugou stares, "The fuck are you talking about?"
"Kirishima is your partner, right? So maybe you should call him something... I dunno, affectionate?"
"I do."
"Oh yeah? Name one thing you call Kirishima that isn't an insult."
Bakugou opens his mouth and is cut off by the redhead's voice.
"Hey bros, what's happenin'?" Kirishima jumps over the sofa and lands next to Bakugou, putting an arm around his shoulder, "Anything I miss?"
Kaminari sighs, "I'm telling your boyfriend here that the pet names he gives you are mean! How do they not bother you?"
Kiri blinks, "Because I do the same thing?"
Kaminari tilts his head and Kirishima nuzzles the side of Bakugou's face with his nose, his voice tilting into a childish tone, "He's my widdle bitch."
"Fuck off, bastard." Bakugou shoves at Kirishima halfheartedly but can't hide the smile that makes its way onto his lips. "You're so clingy."
"You love it," Kiri murmurs and kisses his cheek before bouncing up, going towards the kitchen, "and you love me."
"Choke."
"Later." He winks, "And I love you too, asshole." Kirishima blows him a kiss and walks off.
Kaminari is stunned speechless watching the interaction. It isn't normal behavior for two people that are in a relationship to call each other degrading names.
Then again, this is Kirishima and Bakugou. They're the furthest thing from normal.
