Prompt 2: Counting

144 months.

That's how long Midoriya has known Bakugo. One hundred and forty-four months. 52,560 days and counting. And Midoriya was counting.

45 months. 16,425 days.

That's how long Midoriya and Bakugo had been together. A little over two years. Time invested, milestones crossed, and several first experiences done together. First kiss, first date, first anniversary...first time.

First heartbreak...

Midoriya futilely fought back tears as he stood up from his perch against the wall of one of the clothing stores in the mall. He refused to cry in public. Again. Bakugo didn't deserve the honor of being the reason he cried in the middle of the mall.

Stealing himself away from the view he had seen, Midoriya high-tailed out of the crowded shopping hub and out onto the equally crowded city street.

'Of course it'd be her…' Why would he think otherwise? Bakugo had expressed no real interest in men until Midoriya confessed and wore away at Bakugo's patience. Physical contact for Bakugo was always like pulling teeth. Except with Kirishima, Bakugo's best friend. 'Except with her…'

He should have known Bakugo would jump at the chance to be with her. Anyone would. Midoriya just had thought his feelings for Bakugo had reached deep enough to deter any nomajor chance of infidelity. Apparently not, though, because he and just seen Bakugo emerge from a popular date spot with Uraraka. They even sealed the encounter with a kiss!

An enthusiastic, passionate, no way to mistake that for an accident, kiss.

16,425 days wasted.
