"What’s with the hat, Вakugou?"

Кirishima had noticed the hat of course. As he noticed anything Bakugou related. But it was Кaminari who had managed to ask the question first.

"None of your fucking business!" Вakugou shouted back, skirting far away from the couch where Кirishima, Кaminari, Sеro, and Мina were sitting.

Вakugou didn’t wear hats. So the black cap was very out of place, keeping half of his spiky hair hidden and subdued.

There was definitely something up. A bad haircut maybe? Кirishima was curious but he would’ve left his boyfriend the option of telling him himself. Sеro, on the other hand, decided that the answer would be served right then.

Вakugou's reflexes were excellent as always. But he wasn’t expecting an attack. So before he could react, the tape stuck to the black cap and tugged it off his head.

He turned around, fury blazing in his eyes, hands sparkling with tiny explosions. And something was moving in his hair, between spikes of blond hair... twitch, twitch.

Pointy and the same colour as Вakugou's hair, the fluffy cat ears might’ve gone unnoticed if not for their movement. But now that Кirishima had seen them, well... there was no unseeing them. And he didn’t want to unsee them.

They were the most adorable thing he's laid eyes on in a long time.

Sеro and Кaminari bursted into laughter while Мina was making inaudible sounds and clutching the front of her shirt.

"Shut up!" Вakugou roared and stepped closer. It was undoubtedly to intimidate his friends but Кirishima recognized it for the mistake that it was.

Вakugou was getting his adorable ears closer to four curious pairs of hands. And while Кirishima wouldn’t touch them against Вakugou's will, his friends definitely would.

It was inevitable that at least one of them would reach the fluffy prize. And when Кaminari did and rubbed an ear between his fingers, Вakugou swatted his hand away and hissed. Actually hissed, like an angry cat. His eyes widened in surprise and a hand clasped his mouth.

He made a hasty retreat to his room immediately after that.

Кirishima sighed. He wanted to touch the ears as well. He wanted to know what happened to Вakugou in order to get them. And what else cat-like features he obtained as well.

When Вakugou's usual time for dinner came and he didn’t emerge from his room, Кirishima decided to take a plate of food to him as a peace offering. He wasn’t going to let Вakugou go to sleep hungry because he was angry and embarrassed.

"Hey, Katsu, I brought you dinner. Can I come in?" Кirishima asked after knocking on Вakugou's door.

A few moments of silence followed.

"Fine." came a muffled reply from the inside.

Кirishima grinned.

Вakugou was laying in bed, on his side and facing the door. His legs were slightly bent at the knee, and both of his hands were under the pillow. A frowb was on his face. His new ears twitched and Kirishima immediately focused on them.

Immediately they drew back and Kirishima recognized that as a sign of annoyance.

He neared the bed and left the plate on the nightstand before sitting where Bakugou had just made space for him.

He tried his best not to look at the ears. But they were too fluffy and too adorable not to. So his eyes kept drifting to them.

"You wanna touch them, right?" Вakugou asked, voice quieter than usual.

"I do." There was no reason denying that. It would only piss Вakugou off more.

Вakugou eyed him for a few moments before averting his eyes. Another few moments passed in silence.

"Fine."

Кirishima blinked. Fine? Was he... given permission to touch the ears?

It seemed that he had not reacted fast enough because Вakugou raised to a sitting position and tilted his head towards him, ears lowering slightly, each to the opposite side.

It took Кirishima every piece of willpower not to squeal at the adorable sight.

The fluffy ears twitched and Кirishima finally reached for them with one hand. He hesitated just before his fingers touched the soft fur. Bakugou didn't seem to appreciate that and butted his head against the palm to speed up the process.

Кirishima bit his lower lip hard. His hand closed gently around the ear, massaging it slowly and running a thumb along its edges. It didn't took him long before he reached with his free hand, giving the other ear loving attention as well.

He took turns between rubbing the ears and scratching with blunt nails at the base of them.

Вakugou had his eyes closed, frown long gone. Every now and then he butted his head against one of the hands.

And then he heard it.

In the silence of the room, the deep rumble was immediately noticable, no matter how quietly it had started.

Purring.

Вakugou was purring.

Cats purr when they're relaxed and content. Кirishima put two and two together quickly and his heart almost exploded with happiness.

Then the purring stopped swiftly. Вakugou opened his eyes wide and stared in disbelief for a few seconds before speaking.

"You didn't fucking heard that, got it?!"

"I won't tell others about it if that's what you want but I very much heard it," Кirishima said softly, cupping Вakugou's face in his hands and kissed him on the lips. "And I want to hear more. It's your happy sound after all. And that makes it my favourite one in the world."

The purring was so much louder this time, from the very start.

"Fuck," Вakugou swore weakly, "Don't say shit like that out of the blue!"

Кirishima smiled brightly and the purring only grew in volume. But Вakugou was making no attempts to stop it, even though his face was growing redder with embarrassment. Кirishima knew he'd like to hide it for a bit and he knew just the place.

"Come here, Katsu." Кirishima patted his legs.

Вakugou moved instantaneously, straddling Кirishima, wrapping his arms around his shoulders, and hiding his face against his boyfriend's neck.

The two of them were pressed so closely together that Кirishima could feel the rumble of the purring against his chest. It was such an amazing feeling!

Вakugou's condition was clearly a result of someone's quirk and Кirishima wanted to know who he was sending a 'Thank you're card to.

"Katsu, what happened?"

The purring came to a stop.

"A first year from the Support class bumped into me and hit me with her stupid Cat quirk. It's supposed to last up to twenty four hours only so I was hoping to keep it hidden but of course that didn't fucking go according to plan," Вakugou grumbled.

"Well, I'm glad it didn't," Кirishima said and kissed Вakugou's temple. When he resumed playing with the fluffy ears, the purring come back steadily.

Вakugou had melted against him in just a couple of minutes. His hold on Кirishima's shoulders had grown lax and he was a purring relaxed mess in his boyfriend's lap.

Кirishima run a hand down Вakugou's back, slowly and pressing firmly. When he reached the small of his back, Вakugou lifted his bottom off Кirishima's lap and pressed back against the hand.

And then promptly stiffened, realizing what he's done.

"Holy shit you even do the whole sticking butt in the air thing!" Кirishima exclaimed, amused grin plastered on his face.

Вakugou sat back down and turned his head to the side just enough to hiss at Кirishima. Кirishima kissed him on the nose.

"Don't be like that, it's cute!"

"No, it fucking isn't!"

"It is to me," Кirishima said with finality. Then he got an idea. "Hey, if you do that thing then maybe..," he trailed off and scratched the small of Вakugou's back.

The reaction was instantaneous.

A strangled sounding meowing came out of Вakugou's lips and it kept going until Кirishima removed his hand. His guess had been correct and now he had an angry cat to deal with. It was better to start apologising right away.

"I'm sorry-"

"Do you want to fucking die, Кirishima?!?"

"No, no, of course not, Katsu! Please forgive me, babe. I'll make it up to you with more ears scratching, ok?" Кirishima peppered Вakugou's forehead with kisses for good measure.

He could see the wrath draining from of his boyfriend already. Вakugou has always been bad at staying mad with Кirishima.

Кirishima did good on his promise and his hands returned to the fluffy ears once again.

Вakugou calmed down completely in a matter of seconds. It was almost unbelievable how effective the ears massage and scratching were.

It was time to find out more about the quirk's effects then.

"Hey, Katsu, do you have a tail as well?"

It took Вakugou a few seconds to process the question. Кirishima could tell by the way his body had stiffened once again.

"No," Вakugou finally answered, face still pressing against Кirishima's neck. He did his best to relax his body but the purring didn't return. And that was a giveaway if Кirishima's seen one.

Вakugou didn't wear as baggy pants as he used to during his first year. But he still had a few pairs. And he was wearing the baggiest of them right now. A tail could totally be hiding in one of the pants' legs.

"Hmm, are you sure, babe?"

"Yes, I'm fucking sure. Stop asking," Вakugou grumbled.

Кirishima was far from convinced though. He trailed one hand down his boyfriend's back. Вakugou was on guard this time so he didn't lift his bottom up again. It was a bit of a disappointment but it wasn't what Кirishima was going for anyway.

He slipped a finger under the waistband of the black pants. Вakugou immediately grabbed him by the shoulders in order to push himself away but Кirishima was having none of that.

He wrapped his free arm tightly around Вakugou's waist, far above the waistband, and kept his boyfriend firmly in place in his lap.

Вakugou wasn't ecstatic about that.

"The fuck you think you're doing?!"

"It's not very nice to lie to your boyfriend, Katsu," Кirishima whined, overplaying it quite a bit. "It would be a crime if you have a tail and you don't show it to me, y'know. I won't tell anyone about it either, I promise."

Вakugou seemed to think about it for a few long seconds before settling in Кirishima's lap again and resting his head on top of his shoulder. Кirishima smiled and continued to slip his hand further down the pants until his middle finger touched fur. He gasped.

It was the base of a tail for sure! Slipping his hand a few more centimetres further down confirmed it. The fur was long and so very soft. And the pants were in the way!

Кirishima wanted to see the tail and feel its softness against his skin. He wanted to run his fingers down the length of it. He wanted too see it swish right and left, and wrap around him.

He removed his hand from under the pants and tapped it against Вakugou's thigh.

"Babe, stand up and take the pants off. It can't be comfy for your tail all cramped up in there."

"Tch, just say you wanna see it. Who do you think you're fooling, hah?"

Кirishima laughed.

"Ok, ok, I wanna see it very badly so pretty please~" he kissed Вakugou on his cheek and when the other turned around - he kissed him on the top of his nose as well.

It took Вakugou a few moments to almost unwillingly unwrap himself from Кitishima and stand up. He turned his back to his boyfriend and hooked both of his thumbs under the waistband.
