Darkside (BkDK)

~~** That is Japan's ass. **~~

Tetsutetsu was so slack jawed by the TMI situation happening in front of him that his hand slipped from his partner's face and lay limp at his side. His silver topped head tilted as his poor brain struggled to make sense of all the information he was just presented with. The steel quirk user slowly blinked as he turned his focus from a slightly flushed looking Boom Boom to the greenette holding the shorter male from behind and smirking at them all.

"Kacchan ranked higher than me in the Hero stats for last month." As if that simple sentence explained things. What the hell did that have to do with the 'Wonder Duo' having some kind of damn sex schedule?!?!

Recognizing the perplexed yet intrigued looks on the other couple's faces Bakugo rolled his eyes and elaborated, on his boyfriends rather lacking clarification causing him to flush a rosier pink. "Higher rank means higher position. Need a damn diagram to go with it?"

"Well that's... an interesting arrangement. But wait, isn't Mido almost always higher? You're always in the top three these days, right Deku? I mean, not like you aren't impressive too Bro! Number five is nothing to be ashamed of! We're lucky to be in the top twenty most months, but how'd you out do Mido this go? No offense, but you've never exactly been a crowd pleaser." Kirishima's eyes went wide at the firm and vulgar hand gesture that met his questions.

"Lot's taken."

"Rude!"

"Remember that article last month about us with the kids at Kota's UA acceptance party? Apparently it reminded people of the time he was photographed at the amusement park with Eri and a bunch of those pictures have been circulating around lately. Specter thinks that's what boosted him above me by one spot this time. Reminded everybody of how soft and loving Kacchan can be when he wants to. But I don't mind." A not so subtle hand moved over a slim hip and down a pale thigh as the curly haired Hero closed his eyes and pressed his lips to his lover's neck.

~~** Eight Years Post Graduation **~~

People were always flirting with Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight. He was a handsome, strong, well ranked Hero making him quite desirable. What healthy single wouldn't love to be with a partner like that? Few people outside his family, (friends) (squad) acquaintances, and a handful of other Heros knew him personally so many were shocked when they met the man. Be it a required interview, a grateful citizen, or just a lucky fan that spotted him out on patrol it was no surprise when many found themselves taken aback after meeting the volatile male for the first and often only time.

Learning that the personality they saw on the evening news turnout to NOT be just an act was jarring for many. Though a multitude of high school aged teens, his biggest fan base, were even bigger supporters when told to 'fuck off' if they dared to request an autograph. The man really was truly just that unsociable.

However, being known as a rude, gruff, foul mouthed Pro was not the biggest part of his press coverage. The thing that most of his public coverage always seemed to focus on was his love life. Or at least the one those supposed reporter Extras assumed he had. Fuckers couldn't be more wrong.

His partner more times than not over the last several years was Pro Hero Ash. The male half of the 'Twin Volcanoes' was a well known philanderer, nothing new there. Being that the two were so often together, the explosive blonde had garnered the reputation of being quite the playboy himself simply by association with nothing to back it up.

Since making his professional debut eight years ago at the age of 19, several ladies had come forward claiming to be his lover only for him to completely ignore them and refuse to discuss it in interviews. Quite a few men and even a new upcoming Hero followed suit as well over the years but there was never proof of any kind of affair. How could there be? The now 27 year old Bakugo had remained completely loyal to his Bunny both before they split up in highschool and after they got back together following their ordeal with Darkside.

Despite being caught together socially on a number of occasions the media still had not caught onto their deeper relationship between the pair labeled as former classmates. It was no public secret that the two were close, and might one day be a Pro Pair, so the instances were written off as nothing more than good friends. Even after a get together with Kaminari, Shinso, and Jiro had the secret couple letting their guard down leading to a few compromising photos the press remained ignorant. Everyone played it off as just drunk friends getting carried away and nothing more.

The boy's closeness did lead to a few awkward interviews with Deku in the first few years of their professional careers. Reporters were understandably curious to know how the nation's upcoming favorite sweetheart Broccoli could be so close to the country's arguably angriest Hero. By the third year of their Hero work everyone seemed to have given up on understanding after what might have been the fiftieth such interview where in the greenette simply called the ruby-eyed man cute and expressed confusion as to why others didn't see his unconventional behavior as endearing.

The lack of evidence from any of his supposed suitors over the years never stopped the media from making wild accusations about Katsuki's love life though. Nor any other Hero for that matter. When has the truth ever stopped gossip rags anyway? That's why he, and most Pros, did their best to ignore the articles and TV specials as much as possible.

That was, until one specific day when the explosive man could no longer look the other way.

On the front cover of the region's most widely read and trusted news source was a picture of himself smiling at Izuku. Now, that in and of itself was not the problem. Bakugo was in no way thrilled that he had been caught fucking smiling, and that dumbass one he always has when he looks at the damn Nerd to boot, but he could ignore that for now. He survived the pictures of him with the kids well enough. No, the problem was the image directly next to it. The one that showed a highly magnified focus on just the greenette's rather fine ass. An ass covered in large white handprints. The blonde's handprints to be exact. And the headline to accompany these damning images?

'Number 4 Pro Hero Dynamight, Seduces Number 2 Hero Deku'

The beginning of the slanderous article?

'Japan's number 4 Pro Hero and suspected philanderer commonly known as Dynamight, has tainted the nation's sweetheart and number 2 Pro Hero Deku. The incident in question occurred when the two met at a charity event in Ryupingi. Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight was working in a local family bakery helping to prepare treats for a children's charity using his well renowned kitchen skills when everyone's favorite multi-quirk Hero stopped in for a surprise visit. While no one on our staff was present inside the bakery at the time, eye-witness claim they saw what appeared to be an altercation between the two Heros. It is believed that the interaction was followed by a kiss that was possibly forced upon the upbeat Deku by none other than Dynamight. When the current number 2 departed the bakery, vigilant sources were able to capture proof of well defined handprints made in what was presumably cake flour on his backside. This violation of the greenette's body indicates he was seduced and possibly assaulted by the notoriously crass blonde."

Katsuki stopped reading after that and called up the freckled man to see if he had been made aware of the article yet. Of course the ever vigilant curly haired Pro had already been made aware courtesy of Flurry and had already contacted Spector to coordinate with Best Jeanist for a joint press conference. Kacchan and his Bunny began laughing over the phone at the sheer wrongness of the assumptions made in the article about them both. "They really fucking think you are some pure being made of sunshine who shits rainbows don't they?"

"I'm delightful, I smile, I love kids, I'm fucking adoarable, I'm a hot piece of ass-"

"Yeah you are."

"-and I advocate for the quirkless. Of course people love me. YOU love me. What's not to love?" Katsuki could hear the sarcasm and teasing practically dripping off the taller man's words.

"I can't believe you have the whole damn country fooled into thinking you are some lilly-white innocent cinnamon roll. If these Extras could see you when you're in a mood they'd all piss their panties. You should release your own line of branded adult toys. I bet the number of incidents of heart failure would quadruple in a matter of hours after the announcement alone." The genuine laughter from both men that followed was nothing short of genuinely happy. A rare sound to hear from the crimson-eyed explosion quirk user that his not-so-secreat-anymore lover could ever get enough of.
