A/N: Faces disco no longer exists. Don't go there hoping to party your ass off.
"Good morning, sleepyhead!"
Kacchan groaned as a blur of colors came into focus and turned into Ashido.
"What the crap…? Ashido…why are you getting me up this early?"
"What are you talking about? It's only 5:30!"
"Ugh…"
Kacchan rolled over and pulled his blanket over himself, which prompted Ashido to shake him gently. Peachy also meowed at him.
"Kacchan, why are you going back to sleep!? We have to go to work today!"
"I don't care; I'm not a morning person."
"Fine! If you don't get out of bed on time, I'm not gonna have sex with you later today!"
Kacchan sighed. "OK, you win."
Ashido's presence gave Kacchan just enough energy to drag himself out of bed and over to her dinner table. While still not caffeinated, he was nevertheless brightened up a bit when Ashido presented him with his breakfast.
"This smells delicious. What is it?"
"Chicken-fried steak and biscuits with gravy!"
Kacchan nodded and cut a piece of chicken-fried steak, which he proceeded to eat. He nodded as the savoriness of the breading and the meatiness of the steak took his taste buds on a journey like no other.
"This is really good. It's more than I ever make for breakfast, but still, I like it."
Ashido smiled. "It's my favorite thing to have for breakfast, too!"
"So, got any Monster to wash it down with?"
"I've got something even better!"
Kacchan lowered his fork. "Oh?"
Ashido set down a can of…
"V8 Energy!"
Kacchan rolled his eyes, not having any confidence in the V8 energy drink's ability to dispel the demons of tiredness that he felt in the morning.
After breakfast, Kacchan and Ashido got dressed in their hero costumes.
"Hey, mind driving me to my agency?" asked Ashido.
"That depends. How far is it?"
"It's on North McCormick. I'll show you the way."
"I'll have to hurry a bit, but I think I can make it there."
Ashido gave a dismissive hand flap. "Relax, silly! We've got plenty of time!"
"Hmph."
Bakugo led Ashido out to his Trans Am.
"OH MY DAMN CHERRY BLOSSOMS!* That's such a nice car!"
Kacchan smiled. "Thanks!"
Kacchan and Ashido hopped in, after which they drove off.
"Kacchan, slow down! You want us to get pulled over?"
"Calm down! I know what I'm doin'!"
"It sure doesn't feel like it!"
Kacchan let out an aggravated sigh. "Look, if I put on some music, do ya promise to shut up and just tell me where to go?"
"Well…all right…"
Kacchan put a tape in his car's radio, and the stereo began blasting out "Spheres of Madness" by Decapitated. Almost immediately, Ashido covered her ears.
"Kacchan, what is this!?"
Kacchan put on an evil smile. "Only the best metal ever!"
"Turn it off! My ears are bleeding!"
"No way! This shit rocks!"
"Please, shut off the music!"
"Fuck no!"
Ashido had had enough at this point. She didn't even care what Kacchan thought, so braving the onslaught of death metal as well as she could, she swiftly ejected the tape from the radio.
"WHAT THE FUCK, ASHIDO!? I WAS ENJOYIN' THAT!"
Ashido frowned. "Maybe you were, but some of us don't like having our eardrums blown up with that incessant growling!"
"OK, Raccoon Eyes, then show me what you like."
"I could, but your car doesn't even have a connection for a phone!"
"Here…" Kacchan popped a tape adapter into the tape deck. "Plug your phone into that."
"OK!"
Ashido plugged her phone into the adapter, and after thumbing through her playlists for a bit, she put on "Hooked On Metal" by Acid. At first, Kacchan wasn't sure what to think of the song, and he was about to dismiss it as "wuss metal" until he heard Kate de Lombaert's vocals, at which point he gave his opinion:
"This is actually all right. Who's this?"
"This is Acid, my favorite band! Their first two albums are excellent!"
"If they're anything like this song, I might actually check 'em out."
Eventually, Kacchan and Ashido reached the location of the Yoroi Musha Agency, located in an office complex on North McCormick Boulevard, which was technically located in the village of Lincolnwood.
"Thanks for the lift, Kacchan!"
"You're welcome, Ashido!"
Ashido gave Kacchan a kiss. While he was used to her kissing him by now, his heart still skipped a beat whenever her lips met his. Nevertheless, he found it to be better than rotting in his own lament all the time.
"Bye!" Ashido waved at Kacchan as she exited his Trans Am. "See you tonight!"
Kacchan waved back. "See ya!"
As Kacchan strode into the office building on Upper Wacker Drive, he waved at Mary, the receptionist.
"Good morning, Mary!"
"Good morning, Ground Zero! You look like you're in a good mood!"
"Believe me, I am!"
When Kacchan got to the office of the Genius Agency, there was one person he was especially looking forward to seeing…
"KIRISHIMA! How the hell are ya!?"
Kacchan gave Kirishima a big hug, which the latter returned, albeit not without taking note of it:
"Whoa, Bakugo! I can understand you're happy to see me, but would ya mind dialin' it back a little, brother?"
"Sorry, pal! I can't help it if I'm happy to see my best bro in the whole world!"
"Heh heh…OK then!"
Kacchan did eventually let go of Kirishima, but the hug hadn't gone unnoticed:
"Wow, Bakugo! You're in a way better mood!" said Hsu.
"Yeah, what's goin' on, man?" asked Hayes.
"Oh, ya mean aside from the fact that I'm livin' a happier life than ever before? Not much, really!"
The various heroes who worked for Best Jeanist responded affirmatively to this development.
Speaking of Best Jeanist, he had called Kacchan down to the office before he was allowed to go out on patrol, by which time he was still smiling:
"What's up, Boss?"
"Bakugo, I've noticed that your disposition has become happier and more agreeable. I won't ask why your personality has been patched up, but it makes me happier knowing that you're treating not only your coworkers with respect and kindness, but ordinary citizens as well. Truly, this is the needle that sews us together. Please, keep up this thread."
Kacchan gave a thumbs up. "I won't let ya down!"
"Good. Now then, continue as usual."
Kacchan left Best Jeanist's office.
Later in the day, after having a quick meal at Parson's, Kacchan got dressed for Faces. He didn't really have much to wear for the occasion other than an off-white plaid suit jacket with red and blue stripes, a white button-down shirt – which he'd left open at the collar – brown dress pants and brown leather dress shoes. As per a call from Ashido, he drove down to her place to pick her up.
"KACCHAN!"
Ashido gave Kacchan a big hug and kiss, which he gladly returned. He noticed that she too was dressed up for the occasion, much to his delight: a black sleeveless spandex bodysuit with a pink heart-shaped breastplate, white opera gloves with pink cuffs and white thigh-high high-heel leather boots with pink cuffs and pink heart-shaped toecaps.
"Ashido, you look really fuckin' sexy in that outfit. Why don't ya wear that more often?"
Ashido giggled and playfully shoved Kacchan. "Oh, stahp! Let's just get there before the night runs out!"
Kacchan drove Ashido down to Faces, located on North Rush Street. Originally opened in 1971, it survived the so-called "death of disco" in the early 80s before closing in 1989, only to reopen in the previous decade. The gigantic vertical neon sign spelling out the club's name was still lit up in all its glowing red glory. Fortunately, Kacchan and Ashido found a parking spot, after which they paid their entry fee and headed inside.
Inside Faces, there was a sort of tubular "neon tunnel" beckoning dancers to the music with its flashing lights. Already, Kacchan could hear the disco beat thumping throughout his body, and despite being more of an extreme metal fan, he could feel his heart rate quickening and sweat pouring out of his body as the music seduced his eardrums. Nevertheless, he kept his chin up and his pace steady as he accompanied Ashido to the dance floor, which was a hell of a sight: rows of chase lights going every which way but loose, colored lights shining down on the dancers, enhanced by some mirrors and disco balls, neon lights under the dance floor forming a "V" shape, and various television monitors. At the moment, the DJ was getting the dancers grooving with a real disco classic: "Night Fever" by the Bee Gees. As he took in the whole scene, Kacchan could only be hypnotized.
"Come on, handsome!"
The only thing that got Kacchan to snap out of his little trance was when Ashido tugged at his hand and coaxed him into making his way to the dance floor. When they got there, Ashido had little trouble shaking her booty and just getting down on it. Kacchan, on the other hand, just stood there watching.
"Hey Kacchan, let's dance!"
"I…I don't know how."
"Just fake it, honey! Nobody will care!"
Fake it. Those two words sounded so simple. In a way, Kacchan had been faking it throughout his life, acting like he could stand on his own, and then this pink woman came along and upset the balance of everything he knew. Sure, pretending he didn't need a woman was one thing, but pretending that he knew how to disco dance was a whole other thing.
"Come on, dance already!"
Kacchan still stood there. Seeing this, Ashido grabbed his hands and began swaying back and forth, still trying to get him to get down. Knowing that she wouldn't give up until he moved, he broke out into a simple two-step pattern and tried to follow her as best as possible. Despite not being an avid disco dancer, he managed it well enough, and he could swear that the black sclera of her eyes sparkled under all the lights. Also, in spite of the fact that he'd always hated disco, the music was gradually growing on him, and by the time the DJ was spinning "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman, he came to understand its appeal. Song by song, step by step, he was getting the hang of disco dancing, and all he could think about was how much he loved Ashido and how badly he wanted to dance with her.
However, for Kacchan, his favorite moment of the night had to be the part where the DJ spun "You Set My Heart On Fire" by Tina Charles. By the time this song came on, he'd become quite the disco freak. In particular, he really identified with the lyrics about somebody who'd been so lonely, only to find somebody who really got them going. With a firm yet gentle tug, he pulled Ashido closer to him. Though surprised by the gesture, Ashido nevertheless went along with it, and together, they really burned up the dance floor with a series of twists, turns and dips. Knowing that her boyfriend was opening his heart to this new experience really made Ashido's heart soar like nothing else could. Sure, dancing had been one of her greatest loves, but with him accompanying her, it really got the adrenaline coursing through her veins like nothing else could, and soon, she'd broken out some of her best breakdancing moves. Not one to be outdone, Kacchan gave it his best shot and proved to be surprisingly competent, much to the surprise of other dancers. Neither one cared, though. They were having too much fun to care. Despite having lots of fun, Ashido stopped dancing by the time "Come Into My Heart + Good Lovin'" by USA-European Connection came on, and Kacchan took notice:
"Why are ya stoppin'? I was havin' fun!"
"Me too, but I'm getting thirsty! Let's hit the bar!"
"Way ahead of ya!"
Kacchan and Ashido went over to the bar.
"What can I get for you two?" asked the bartender, a petite blonde.
"I'll have a Miller Lite," said Kacchan.
"I'll have a pear martini," said Ashido.
The two lovebirds paid for their drinks, and after the bartender served them, Kacchan was about to drink up when Ashido held her glass out to him.
"Oh? What do ya wanna toast to?"
"To peace, love and cherry blossoms!"
"OK."
Kacchan and Ashido toasted and drank up.
"Ah, finally!" said Kacchan. "After bein' told 'no' so many times, it feels so good to have a fuckin' beer!"
"I can't understand what it is with guys and beer, but I'm glad you're having such a good time!"
"What do you know? You're so pink and girly!"
Ashido laughed and gave Kacchan a playful shove. "Oh, shut up!"
Kacchan and Ashido continued to drink up.
By the time the DJ was spinning "Pop Pop Shoo Wah" by the Erotic Drum Band, Ashido decided that they should call it a night, which left only one question for Kacchan:
"So…your place or mine?"
"Why don't we go to your place? Just lemme grab a few things from my place, OK?"
"Right."
After stopping by Ashido's place, her and Kacchan headed to his place, which she remarked positively upon:
"Wow, this place is nicer than I thought!"
"Really?"
Ashido stroked her chin. "Well…it could use some cleaning up, but we'll worry about that tomorrow!"
"Whatever. Let's just fuck."
Ashido wagged her finger. "Uh uh uh, not until we clean up!"
Kacchan let out an aggravated sigh. "Fine."
Ashido cradled Kacchan's chin with her hand. "Hey, don't be so pouty! We're gonna shower together!"
Kacchan gasped upon hearing this. Sure, kissing Ashido and getting a handjob from her were something, but knowing that he was going to be naked while in close proximity to a naked woman was something else. Nevertheless, his answer was obvious…
"O-OK…"
"Grand! Now, show me where the bathroom is!"
Ashido grabbed some toiletries out of her bag, and Kacchan led her to the bathroom, where he turned on the water and proceeded to strip along with her. Then, once the water was warm enough, they entered the shower. After soaking for a few seconds, Kacchan grabbed a combination body wash/shampoo and was about to lather up when Ashido gently grabbed his bottle and pulled out a combination shampoo/conditioner.
"I'll wash your hair if you wash mine!" said Ashido.
Kacchan nodded, and he took Ashido's shampoo/conditioner from her and handed her his shampoo/body wash. They both squirted some into their hands, rubbed them together, and then proceeded to wash each other's hair. Almost immediately, Kacchan began drooling as Ashido massaged his scalp.
"Ashido…that feels so good."
Ashido giggled. "Speak for yourself, honey."
And so, Kacchan and Ashido continued to indulge in each other's touch as they washed their hair. In particular, Kacchan thought he was going to melt from Ashido's caress. Feeling her fingers running through his hair not only cleansed his soul of any sadness, stress or other negative emotions that were still left over after disco dancing, but also made him hotly anticipate getting to make love to her that much more. At this moment, he didn't even care that her horns were making the task of washing her hair more difficult; everything was just heaven right now. Ashido experienced similar emotions as Kacchan did. Sure, washing her own hair relaxed her mind and body, but it had been so long since a guy showered with her, so she couldn't help but feel that extra blanket of warmth. Kacchan in particular had that nice, strong touch that other men's couldn't compare to. Plus, the fact that she thought he was so sexy helped. After washing each other's hair for a bit, they rinsed off, and then Ashido grabbed a bar of soap.
"Ya want me to soap you up as well?" said Kacchan.
Ashido giggled. "Of course, silly!"
Despite the fact that he knew that soaping up Ashido would involve touching her breasts, Kacchan willingly did so. As soon as he felt them, all he could think about was squeezing them, which she took notice of:
"Are you gonna soap me up or are you gonna keep perving out on me?"
Kacchan gasped. "Oh…sorry!"
Kacchan did his best to soap up Ashido properly, but no matter how hard he tried, all he could think about was wanting to squeeze her big pink fun bags. Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and did his best to soap up the rest of her. However, at one point, he became conscious of the fact that her hands were travelling lower and lower on his body, so he spoke up:
"Ashido, how much longer do we have to shower with each other?"
"Why do you ask? I mean, we're dating, so there's no problem, right?"
"I know, but…bein' so close to ya while we're naked and touchin' each other, I…I'm so hard."
Ashido giggled and grabbed Kacchan down there. "Oh, you are, are you? You must really like it when I touch you, then!"
At this point, Kacchan couldn't take it any more, so he swiftly pinned Ashido against the shower wall, kissed her and attempted to have his way with her. However, she pushed him away:
"Hey! I know you wanna have sex with me, but please, take it easy! You'll get to do it soon enough!"
"Sorry. I got ahead of myself there, huh?"
Ashido smiled. "It's OK! Just take a deep breath. You're doing great!"
Kacchan took a couple of deep breaths and did his best to keep himself together even though Ashido's touch was making his mind spark more than a downed power line. So far, he was holding himself together all right in spite of that, though when he reached a similar spot, he hesitated, which she took notice of:
"It's OK! You can touch my vagina, honey! Just don't stick your fingers directly in, OK?"
Kacchan nodded nervously and began to wash Ashido down there. He got pretty distracted when she started drooling and giggling, but he did his best to try to focus. Her touch felt really good, so much so that it was difficult not to explode right then and there, but with a strong mind, he kept his wits about him and managed to finish soaping up Ashido, after which they rinsed off and turned off the shower. Then, Ashido grabbed a towel and dried Kacchan off, which he had to do his best to not melt from. Similarly, she had trouble not smiling when he dried her off. After they dried off, they did their hair…well, Ashido did, anyways, blow-drying it to get its fluffiness back; Kacchan merely left his as it was. They also brushed their teeth and flossed before heading to Kacchan's bedroom…one of them. His was easily recognizable because of all the extreme metal band and grindhouse movie posters, which Ashido took notice of:
"Well, this room is definitely you!"
Kacchan smiled. "Thanks! Now, are we gonna fuck or what?"
Ashido sat down on the bed and giggled. "I'm yours, honey!"
Kacchan sat down next to Ashido, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her, and she returned the gesture. Excited at the prospect of getting to do it with her, he really leaned into her and laid her down on the bed, and he was just about to mount her when…
"Hold on!" said Ashido.
Kacchan growled. "What now?"
"You didn't forget about the condom, did you?"
Kacchan let out a sarcastic chuckle. "Not at all!"
Kacchan reached into a drawer on his nightstand, pulled out a condom and put it on.
"Ready for it, babe?"
Ashido nodded. In the next instant, Kacchan stuck it inside her, causing her to yelp.
"What the crap!?" said Kacchan. "What was that about!?"
Ashido smiled weakly. "Sorry, you're…you're just so big. Please, don't go too fast or hard unless I say so, OK?"
Kacchan smiled, and then began thrusting. Even though he wasn't going that fast, it still excited him greatly knowing that he was getting to make sweet love to such a beautiful woman. What really excited him – aside from the fact that she was so warm and wet – was seeing her eyes wide open and a blush on her face. It was tempting for him to really ram her, but he respected her health and safety enough to hold himself back. Still, he couldn't help but tease her:
"So, ya like gettin' fucked, Ashido? Ya like it when I ram my cock inside ya?"
"K-Kacchan, this is so good! Please, fuck me harder!"
Kacchan let out a devious little chuckle as he increased the speed at which he thrust into her. By now, she was audibly moaning from the whole experience, and he bared a toothy grin, enjoying the sensation of being in charge of her. After spending years of loathing society and most of the people in it, it gave him great pleasure to be able to engage in such a primal, carnal act with someone he genuinely had the hots for. In a way, it was extremely cathartic for him. As he continued doing her, all he could think about was how badly he wanted to climax, to get a sweet release from her and to give her one as well. Even though he hadn't gotten to that point yet, he could already tell that this was going to be much better than simply getting a handjob, and he never broke eye contact with her during the experience.
"Faster! Give it to me, Kacchan!"
"Yeah, that's it! Scream for me! I wanna hear ya beg!"
Ashido moaned louder and faster as Kacchan continued to bury himself into her. While this wasn't her first time doing it with anyone, this blond bomberanian was, in her opinion, the hottest guy she'd ever done it with, and this made things so hot and wet for her that all she could think about was wanting to orgasm, and she repeatedly cried "fuck me!" over and over. Doing so encouraged him to really go into her, much to her delight. Usually, it didn't matter to her if she was on top or the bottom, but in this case, being under him, she gladly surrendered control and took delight in being his one and only. While she had fallen in love with him at first sight, she had never wanted him any more than right now, and she kept begging for his love, until finally…
"OH KACCHAN, I…I'M CUMMING…FUCK!"
"Yes! YES!"
Ashido kept screaming as the orgasm shook every nerve within her body, which only encouraged Kacchan even more, and he got his own shortly thereafter. Sure enough, he enjoyed this one more than any form of masturbation, and he kept thrusting inside her as he shot burst after burst of cum. In continuing to take him, she felt as though she was going to collapse from the sheer pleasure. Nevertheless, she gladly accepted the wave after wave of sweet sensations, much as he accepted his own. Even as he was coming down from his high, he continued to bang her until he had nothing left to give. At that point, he remained frozen on top of her, still making eye contact with her as she tried her best to steady her breathing.
"Was that good for ya…honey?" asked Kacchan.
"Oh…oh my god!"
"I'll take that as a 'yes'."
After cleaning up, Kacchan and Ashido snuggled with each other.
"Kacchan, you were the best fuck I've ever had! Seriously, no one's done me like that before!"
"Speak for yourself! I knew my first time was gonna be somethin', but that exceeded all my expectations!"
Ashido gasped. "Wait…you were a VIRGIN before this!?"
"I…"
"OH MY DAMN CHERRY BLOSSOMS!* I can't believe I took my favorite guy's virginity!"
Ashido gave Kacchan a big hug and kiss, which he gladly returned.
"Ya know, ordinarily I would give ya the fuckin' biz for makin' a big deal outta me bein' a virgin, but since I had such a good time with ya, I'll let it slide," said Kacchan.
"Kacchan, there's nothing wrong with being a virgin! Still, I'm glad you had such a good time!"
"Me too! Good night, Ashido!"
"Good night, Kacchan!"
Kacchan turned off his bedside lamp, and him and Ashido snuggled overnight. Overall, it was looking to be a bright future for them both.
*The phrase "OH MY DAMN CHERRY BLOSSOMS" is...ah, forget it. I've said that one too many times by now.
Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
