Bubbly, Sour, and on the Rocks

Written for @krbkevents Advent Calendar Day 21: Office Party

“Pretty sure mistletoe constitutes workplace harassment.”

Katsuki’s gaze fixated on the offending plant that hung from the doorframe directly in front of him. It loomed over the office party in wait for two unsuspecting passersby to step under it and get ensnared in its trap.

“Puh-lease.” Camie rolled her eyes. “You’re just upset that the ‘high-voltage hottie’ in sales does not want to kiss you.”

Katsuki wet his lips in frustration and turned his scowl on his coworker. She was dressed in a slutty Santa outfit that was most definitely against the dress code for the office holiday party. “You’ve been spending way too much time with Denki,” he grunted.

“Doesn’t make it any less true, fam.” She smirked. “I’ve been watching you moon over him for months. You help him with his computer one time and it’s like you’ve seen God.”

“Tch.” Katsuki refused to dignify the comment with a response.

Camie rolled her eyes again. “Here.” She shoved a glass of champagne in his hand. “Drink some bubbly, let your inhibitions run loose, and go flirt. At least if it ends badly, you will barely have to see him since sales is on the fourth floor.”

He hated that she wasn’t wrong, and since they were in different departments, it wasn’t against the rules to be in a relationship, just heavily frowned upon. Katsuki pursed his lips and took a sip off the champagne flute. The bubbly was dry and crisp as it tickled its way down his throat. Katsuki secretly preferred sweet wines and champagne, though he would never admit it. He downed the rest of the glass and shoved it back at Camie. “Here,” he said.

Katsuki marched toward the open door, but a slender, manicured hand came down on his shoulder, stopping him in his tracks. Camie smiled coyly at him and tapped her cheek. Katsuki groaned, then leaned over to give her a peck on the cheek. She beamed brightly at him.

“Is Kacchan dishing out kisses?” asked Denki, far too loudly than was socially acceptable. Several heads turned in their direction to see Katsuki pull away from Camie.

“Fuck you, jackass,” Katsuki barked. He marched away from the pair of them and their giggling fit of laughter into the large conference room that was being used as the main space for the office party. Unfortunately for Katsuki, a certain redheaded sales associate was standing near the buffet table, and his crimson eyes were focused on him.

Did he see that? Katsuki wondered. He approached the long row of tables and reached for one of the dinner rolls. Katsuki cleared his throat as he lifted his gaze to meet Kirishima’s. The sales associate was still watching him, though he glanced away to appear more discrete. “Hey,” Katsuki said casually.

Kirishima glanced down at him as he took a bite of the dinner roll. “Hey,” he said stiffly. His gaze drifted back to the doorway where Camie and Denki still stood, laughing with one another and some people from accounting.

Katsuki followed his gaze and grunted at the fools. “Hitting the champagne hard right from the start,” he said more to himself than Kirishima.

Kirishima arched a brow. “Is that what it was?”

Katsuki snapped his head to the right. “Pardon?”

Pink dusted Kirishima’s cheeks and he stretched his arm over his head, scratching the back of his neck. “I didn’t mean to imply… There’s—uh—there’s just a rumor…”

“Rumor?” Katsuki pressed, suddenly extremely interested in whatever Kirishima had to say.

“That you and Utsushimi are dating…?” Katsuki choked on his dinner roll. He slammed his fist against his cheeks as tears stung his eyes. He coughed, face flushed and reached for the tray of water glasses.

“Oh no!” Kirishima gasped. He patted Katsuki’s back and warmth traveled up and down his spine from where Kirishima’s hand made contact with his back. Katsuki swallowed the roll and cleared his throat. He took a drink of water and blinked away the tears that clung to his lashes. “You good?” Kirishima asked tentatively.

Katsuki nodded. “Yeah. You just startled me with that bullshit about dating the bimbo.”

Kirishima furrowed his brows. “You shouldn’t talk about a lady like that.”

“Camie is no lady, and she is also not my girlfriend. I dunno who started that insane rumor but she’s dating the boss’s second son. It’s not a very well-kept secret.” If this was how the night was going to go, then Katsuki needed another drink, preferably something stronger than champagne. He eyed the small bar in the corner of the room that the company was paying for.

“So… You’re single?” Kirishima asked, drawing Katsuki’s attention back to him from the bar. His expression was unreadable but the faint dusting of pink that colored Kirishima’s cheeks led Katsuki to believe there might be more to his questioning than Kirishima let on.

Katsuki nodded slowly. “I am.” There. He noted a twitch of the brow just above the sliver of a scar that marred Kirishima’s otherwise flawless face. Katsuki inhaled slowly and let out a breath. He might as well shoot his shot. “Can I buy you a drink?”

“It’s an open bar.” Kirishima quipped.

The corner of Katsuki’s mouth ticked upwards into a smirk and a soft chuckle escaped him. “Even better.”

Kirishima smiled back. “I’ll take a brandy sour if they have it.”

“I’ll be right back.” Katsuki patted Kirishima on the bicep as he walked away, and warmth lingered on the palm of his hand. He was thankful his back was to the other man because he just knew he was wearing the stupidest fucking grin on his face. He would never in a million years admit to Camie that she was right about anything, but she had been right about this.

They found an open table in the conference room and sat together. Knees touched as they drank, ate, and swapped stories. Most people glossed over when Katsuki told them he worked in IT, but Kirishima seemed genuinely interested. He thanked Katsuki profusely for the help he provided a few months back. He said he would have lost major account information if Katsuki hadn’t managed to restore the data.

People in management made dumb speeches and the subtle brush of knee against knee turned into hands on thighs and thumbs brushing against firm biceps. As the prize raffle began, Katsuki leaned in close, lips brushing against the shell of Kirishima’s ear. “You wanna get out of here?” he asked.

Kirishima swallowed thickly and nodded. “Y-yeah,” he choked out.

And if Katsuki ended up kissing the hot sales associate in the closet later after far too much scotch on the rocks, well, that was between them and Denki who had the misfortune of walking in on them. Annoying bastard should have gone to look for his coat in a different closet.

Sparkling

BNHA | KRBK | Rated: T | 1k Words | Christmas Fic

Written for the @krbkevents KRBK Advent Calendar. Day 5: Decorations

Katsuki hums to himself as he hangs tinsel and garland. Despite what he would lead you to believe, he loves the holidays. More specifically, he loves decorating. He’s so meticulous that he gets lost in himself for hours hanging decorations for every holiday. He won’t admit it, but there’s a glint of sadness on his face every time he must take the decorations down at the end of a holiday. Everyone thinks Eijirou is the one that goes all out. It makes sense, given their personalities, but Katsuki spends thousands of yen every year on upgraded decorations.

He lets Eijirou take the credit, not wanting to out himself. Eijirou happily obliges because he knows it’s what his boyfriend wants. Katsuki never decorated the dorms but the moment they had an apartment to themselves, the secret came out. His competitive nature makes it so that he doesn’t half-ass anything, even the holidays. Eijirou enjoys watching him. Katsuki hums Christmas carols to himself as he hangs the last of the garland. It sparkles in the evening light.

“Ei, can you take that cord of string lights on the couch outside to wrap the balcony?” Katsuki asks as he steps off the stool he had been standing on.

Eijirou presses a kiss to his cheek. “Sure thing, babe.” He grabs the lights off the couch and heads to the sliding glass door. The winter air is chilly, but it doesn’t bother him much. He has on a light sweater, not nearly as thick as the one Katsuki is wearing.

He makes quick work of the lights, wrapping them around the railing. Little snowmen are affixed to the balcony above, dangling in front of Eijirou’s face. If the apartment complex had a competition for the best decorated balcony, they would easily win every year. He relishes that fact. Maybe he should get Katsuki a trophy for Christmas, “Best Christmas Decorator.” He’ll either love it or call it stupid while blushing.

Eijirou finishes stringing the lights and grabs the end to plug it into the outside outlet. The lights come to life, basking the balcony in their soft, multi-colored glow. Eijirou smiles, pleased with his handiwork. A puff of air is visible in front of his face. He heads back inside, and a mischievous thought crosses his mind.

“All done out there?” Katsuki asks, with his back to Eijirou.

Eijirou clears the distance between them in quick strides. Katsuki is hanging decorations on the tree when Eijirou slides his hands under Katsuki’s shirt and sweater, up the length of his torso. “All set,” he says, his breath ghosting over Katsuki’s ear.

Katsuki yelps from the cold and tries to pull away but Eijirou locks himself in place, hands firmly resting on Katsuki’s plump chest. “Get your shitty icicle hands off me, you fucker.” He barks.

Eijirou presses a kiss against Katsuki’s jawline, then rests his chin on the shoulder before him. “But babe, I’m cold,” he whines.

“The fuck you are, asshole. We both know that little bit was nothing to you.”

“Just because I don’t feel cold doesn’t change the fact that my hands are cold to the touch.” Eijirou teases, giving Katsuki’s chest a squeeze.

Katsuki huffs. “Will you get off me now?”

Eijirou hums to himself, pretending to mull it over. “What if we stop with the decorating for the night and make some cocoa and curl up in front of the fireplace to watch a movie?”

Now, it’s Katsuki’s turn to contemplate the decision. He sighs in defeat, leaning back into Eijirou’s chest. “Fine,” he says, with mock annoyance. “But I’m picking the movie.”

“Deal.”

Eijirou releases his hold on Katsuki and meanders to the kitchen in search of cocoa packets. He fills the kettle with water and turns on the stove. As the water slowly works itself into a boil, Eijirou pulls out a pair of mugs and empties the cocoa powder into them. There’s a can of whipped cream in the fridge, so he grabs that too. When the kettle whistles, Eijirou turns off the burner and pours the steaming liquid into the two mugs. He grabs a spoon out of the drawer to stir the powder and tops the drinks off with whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. Pleased with himself, he carries the two mugs back to the living room.

There’s a movie paused on the television screen and the fire is going strong within the hearth. Katsuki has set out pillows on the floor and is carrying a blanket in his arms upon Eijirou’s return.

“Looks comfy cozy,” Eijirou notes, setting the mugs on the coffee table.

Tinsel sparkles in the fire light and a model train hums as it runs on the track that circles the base of the tree. Katsuki has outdone himself yet again and he isn’t even finished. The others will be jealous when they come over for their annual Christmas party. It’s another thing Katsuki has Eijirou take credit for. He wouldn’t dare let their friends know he enjoys having their company. Eijirou suspects the others have pieced together that Katsuki is the mastermind behind their holiday décor. It’s too meticulous for Eijirou. He would happily string the walls and trees in homemade paper crafts and call it a day.

Eijirou takes a seat on the floor and fluffs one of the pillows behind his back. Katsuki settles beside him and spreads the blanket over their laps. With the mugs of cocoa in hand and the movie started, Eijirou presses a kiss to Katsuki’s temple. “Love you,” he says, smiling above the head of whipped cream as he sips his hot beverage.

“Love you too,” says Katsuki. He takes a drink as well. “Cocoa’s good. Cinnamon?” He cocks a brow.

Eijirou nods. “I know you like a little spice.”

“That’s not all I like.” Katsuki presses in closer as the opening credits play.

Eijirou wraps his free arm around Katsuki’s lower back. They sit in comfortable silence watching the movie and drinking their hot chocolate. When there’s a lull in the conversation on the screen, Eijirou leans in and whispers, “Merry Christmas, Katsuki.”

“Merry Christmas, Eiji.”

🎁KRBK Advent Calendar Day Twenty-Two: Snowball Fight🎁

Chaos abounds with the Bakusquad in this hilarious story written by Sanguine Queen.

“Here’s another.” Ashido gave their fifth flag without meeting anyone else’s eyes. “It’s not much, but we escaped.”

“And Kami?” Kirishima questioned, looking to Bakugou for answers.

It came in the form of a shake of the head.

“No!” He and Sero cried at the same time. Jirou just hugged herself closer to keep from shouting too.

“He was a good friend, and he will be avenged,” Kirishima snarled. Any other day and Bakugou might feel his face warm up with that tone, but now was not the time.

Ashido loaded up her arms with some more snowballs. “Team leader, we look to you.”

Right. They had a tournament to win. No time for wallowing.

🎁KRBK Advent Calendar Day Seventeen: Dreaming🎁

Kirishima has his dream fulfilled. Somehow, Bakugou gets roped into it as well. This story by Niki Angel is sure to tug at your heartstrings.

“Bakugou?” Bakugou flinched. He hadn’t even noticed that Kirishima had started waving his hand in front of his face. His expression was a little more worried. “Is something wrong? Did she touch you somehow with her quirk?” Kirishima took a deep breath and stretched. “I was too slow and she managed to do it?”

Bakugou sighed. “Dumbass,” he just said again. How was it possible that he still doubted himself so much? Hadn’t he seen what a great hero, friend, and person he was? Bakugou sometimes felt that even if he told him that every day, Kirishima would never believe it. But if he was by his side, letting him know how important he was to him as his heroic co-worker - would that change? Bakugou took a deep breath. He was determined. “Kirishima, would you–”

“P-Pappa?” They both jerked.
