band au where bakugou’s friend”s” (jirou and her gf) drag him to some punk concert because apparently the drummer is incredible, but the asshole isn’t even there, the drummer’s sick and has a stand in.
and of course they’re practically at the fucking barricade, so he can’t just sit down and wait it out.
but the music isn’t TERRIBLE and he does like how much fun jirou and ponytail are having, so he doesn’t act pissy for the sake of being pissy, and he lets them rope him into dancing.
and maybe he doesn’t shove the random guy away when he starts dancing with him, partly because they’re packed like sardines and partly because if the dude doesn’t grab his ass or his dick, he doesn’t really mind.
he turns around after the song is over to see this tall, built, and fucking beautiful, sweaty human being wearing a bandanna, wiping his face with the bottom his skimpy ass tank top so his entire torso is on display and katsuki is not one to stare, but...
the dude smiles at him and nonverbally asks if bakugou will dance with him once the next song starts, and he rolls his eyes but nods.
katsuki realizes he actually knows some of these songs already, and the dumb hunk in front of him seems to know the music well enough to breathe it.
bakugou may be slightly tipsy and drunk off the endorphins from jumping and yelling in a pit of people, but he’s present enough to know he’s never been this physically attracted to someone off the bat.
he can hear kyouka whistling behind him when the dude grabs his hips and katsuki puts an arm around his neck, but he doesn’t really give a shit. the music is loud, the guy is hot, and bakugou wants to get as close to him as physically possible, and then more.
he’s not really surprised when the dude starts staring at his lips, but he is happy about it. yeah, so maybe katsuki bakugou, the uptight asshole makes out with a hot stranger during a song that’s kind of making him horny, what of it?
the guy tries to tell him his name, but he doesn’t enunciate well enough and it gets lost in the noise. at least he seemed to hear when katsuki responded with his own.
the second to last song is slower than the others, and mystery man stands behind him with his arms around katsuki’s waist and his chin on his shoulder. it’s surprisingly intimate for a place that held a mosh pit ten minutes ago.
the way they’re positioned, bakugou can hear him singing along quietly in his ear and he feels almost like the guy is singing TO him. it’s... not terrible
the last song is loud and popular and bakugou’s concert fling stands next to him while they jump around and scream the lyrics together. katsuki really thinks he’s beautiful.
the song is only halfway through when he grabs katsuki’s arm, pulls out a marker, and scribbles a phone number on the inside of his wrist.
he looks apologetic, and almost embarrassed when he yells “I have to go!” and kisses katsuki one more time before some dumbass shoves into his side and he has to pull away.
he puts a hand over katsuki’s right ear and leans in to whisper in his left “I’m sorry. Thank you for tonight.”
bakugou doesn’t have a chance to ask what the fuck that meant before his punk hunk is making his way to the left through the sea of people.
he wants to tell him that’s stupid, there’s no exit over there, but he watches the redhead reach the corner of the barricade, look at the crowd one more time, and then hop over the metal fence.
katsuki’s pretty sure he’s about to get his ass beat by security, but the second he gets over the fence he’s greeted by a bodyguard who smiles claps him on the back and hands him a water bottle. what the fuck.
kyouka voices his thoughts by screaming “WHAT THE HELL!! OH MY GOD!” practically right in his goddamn ear, and katsuki misses the end of the song.
the people around him are screaming for the band to play another song, but katsuki is helping ponytail shield kyouka while she frantically types on her phone.
katsuki’s about to ask if there’s some sort of family emergency or some shit when she shoves the phone in his face. on the screen is a picture of his hot dance partner, sitting at a drum set, with the rest of the band beside him.
the rest of the night is weird as hell. the girls can’t believe that he made out with eijirou kirishima and he can’t believe the dumbass called in sick just to go to the mosh pit at his own concert.
they beg him to text the guy to verify that it was actually him, but katsuki is no groupie. he’s going to text him “hey.” at 7pm after waiting two days. as he should.
back at the tour bus, kaminari is having a great time teasing kirishima.
“/Oh, I just want to experience what it’s like in the audience!/ Proceeds to make out with hot blond for half of the show”
bakugou almost sticks to his plan, but he gets antsy at 4pm the day he’s planning to text him, and in an act of self care, he sends the message early.
kirishima takes a while to respond and katsuki is convinced that he gave him a fake number until he gets “Katsuki!!! I thought you’d never call 😭
they text back and forth constantly for hours, and bakugou falls asleep mid conversation.
jirou comments on his grumpiness at breakfast, but he really did enjoy talking to kirishima. in fact, so much so, that his pissy mood is because kiri’s band is leaving today and they could’ve met up, had katsuki texted him sooner.
they facetime a lot. like, A LOT a lot. whenever neither of them are working, they’re on the phone, but when they ARE working, they text and snapc/hat every five minutes.
also, they both occasionally will screen record their conversations to play back later. katsuki has a video of eijirou trying to play the drums with his feet and failing (ei thinks he did well) and he watches it every other day.
eijirou’s favorite recording was when katsuki got so tired he was giggly and delirious for their whole conversation, but he didn’t want to hang up because they hadn’t talked in nearly a week.
they don’t have a long distance relationship per say, but they flirt every time they talk, neither of them are seeing or trying to see anyone else, and there was that one time they both got drunk on facetime and “argued” over who was gonna bottom when eijirou came back.
