:cherry_blossom: Bkdk :cherry_blossom: : Crocus Carnival Entry

Here is my entry for the #CrocusWriting part, as I realized I've never written something for this amino before. It was a lot of fun to do tbh, I hope you like it! I also quickly sketched something to go along with it, because I love these two and couldn't help myself lmao.

This is 745 words in total, and took me about 2 hours to finish. I'll have the art and its proof at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!

Bakugo was in deep.

He was walking home from school, on his way home for spring break, when he spotted Midoriya slightly ahead of him. He was alone, which was peculiar as he usually walked with those nerd friends of his. Whatever. Not like he cared.

They both continued until they were the only ones in the walkway. They do live near each other, after all. However, it seemed that Midoriya hadn't noticed Bakugo was there. Which of course, pissed him off. Was he ignoring him? Again, not like he cared.

Trying to move past it, Bakugo started to take in the scenery: it was currently cherry blossom season, they were in the midst of blooming a soft pale pink, dropping the petals everywhere. They were softly drifting in the wind, making a wonderful sight. Bakugo would never it it, but it was one of his favorite times of year. He's not embarrassed to appreciate the prettier things in life, he just knew he'd shit for it. A hardass like him loving the softness of spring? He'd never hear the end of it.

His thoughts were then interrupted when he heard it; the Signature Deku Muttering. Ah. So he was just lost in his own head again. Not that Bakugo wasnt, he just does so quietly, like a normal fucking person. Bakugo tried to continue his walk, as if he wasn't observing every detail about the other boy, but he could only take so much of the mumbling. That he did care about. What? It was annoying.

Bakugo strode over to Midoriya, and bonked the curly haired boy on the head.

"Hey what- ah, hey Kacchan," Midoriya's shock faded as he saw who it was, "Wait, when did you get here?" he said in surprise.

"I've been here the whole time dumbass, you just didn't notice cause you were busy talking to yourself." Bakugo responded with a huff.

"Ah, haha, of course. Oops. Sorry, Kacchan." Midoriya awkwardly finished.

"Whatever." Mumbled Bakugo, deciding he was done with this little exchange. He was about to walk on ahead, ready to get home face his folks already, when he saw something pink in Midoriya's hair. Bakugo slowed and looked closely; and sure enough, there was a cherry blossom nestled in Midoriya's locks.

"Um. Kacchan?" Squeaked out Midoriya under Bakugo's scrutiny and close proximity. Somehow Bakugo had gotten inches away from his face.

"Hold still." Bakugo then swiftly and gently reached his hand to the top of Midoriya's head. Midoriya shifted a little, but before he could move too much, Bakugo grabbed the cherry blossom resting on his head. He held it out between his fingers to show Midoriya what he was doing. As he looked down to tell him he was just grabbing something from his hair and for him to chill the fuck out, he halted.

The sight that awaited him is not what he expected. He really was much closer than he realized: he could practically count every freckle that lightly dusted Midoriya's cheeks. His eyes were wide, a bright shade of emerald green with a glossy sheen to them. His eyes and cheeks were ever so slightly puffy too, the nerd always did have allergies. And speaking of cheeks, they were also, miraculously, a shade pinker than the flower in Bakugo's hand. Midoriya's eyes somehow got wider, with something between confusion and awe swimming in his gaze.

Fuck.

Bakugo definitely felt something at that. Something... fuzzy. He should definitely get that checked out by a doctor. Yep. No reason that should be happening. No reason at all.

"Kacchan?" Midoriya said tentatively. Bakugo then realized he has just been staring at him this whole time. Shit.

"Shitty flower was in your hair. You're welcome." Bakugo mumbled out as he flicked it at Midoriya's face. He just chuckled in response, catching the flower as it bounced off his nose then holding it softly in his hands.

"Yeah, thanks." He said with a gentle smile and far off look, while gazing at the cherry blossom.

"Again, whatever. I'm leaving." Abruptly annouced Bakugo as he turned to walk away. As he stomped off, Midoriya called after him.

"Okay, have a good spring break!"

"Uh-huh" Bakugo grunted over his shoulder. He didn't dare take a look, as he felt something suspiciously warm take over his face. If he, he would of saw Midoriya secretly pocket the loose cherry blossom.

Well, maybe he was a little embarrassed to like pretty things.
