"Hey, did you notice something different about Bakugou and Kirishima these days?" Sero asked, glancing at Mina, who was currently engrossed in her new manga.

Mina peered up from her book, a curious expression on her face. "Something different? Like what?" she queried, intrigued.

"Like...you know how Bakugou isn't exactly touch-friendly? But Kirishima has his arm around him all the time, and Bakugou lets him." Sero explained.

Mina raised an eyebrow, now genuinely interested. "That's... peculiar. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked, a twinkle in her eyes.

Sero nodded, a grin spreading across his face. "Yeah, looks like our ol' grumpy Bakugou might have a soft spot for Kirishima."

But could it be true? Despite Bakugou's fiery temperament, he'd always been close to Kirishima. But dating? Well, that was another matter entirely.

Mina and Sero weren't the only ones who noticed the budding relationship. Throughout Class 1-A, whispers and hushed conversations began to circulate.

It was Todoroki who finally approached Bakugou, his usually stoic face looking a bit flustered. "Bakugou, about Kirishima..." he began, unsure of how to continue.

Bakugou merely grunted in response, the hint of a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "What about him, half-and-half?"

Todoroki fumbled for words, but eventually managed to blurt out, "Are you two... together?"

Bakugou's smirk widened as he leaned back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest. "Maybe. What's it to you?"

Todoroki's cheeks flushed slightly. "It's just... No one puts their arm around you and survives. Except for Kirishima. It's... interesting."

Bakugou chuckled, his usual harshness replaced by a strange fondness. "Just goes to show how sturdy that rock head really is."

Word of the conversation quickly spread among Class 1-A. The confirmation of Bakugou and Kirishima dating caused waves of surprise, laughter, and giddy excitement.

Everyone reacted in their own way. Mina and Sero high-fived each other, grinning like fools, while Todoroki was simply relieved to have his suspicions confirmed.

Iida, always one for propriety, expressed his happiness for the couple but also urged them to focus on their studies. Midoriya simply smiled, happy for his friends.

As for Bakugou and Kirishima, life went on much as it always had. The only difference now was that they could be open about their relationship.

Kirishima would often playfully sling an arm around Bakugou's shoulders, eliciting a soft sigh from the explosive blonde. It was a simple gesture, but one that held a lot of meaning for both of them.

And meanwhile, the rest of Class 1-A realized that there was more to Bakugou than his volatile temper. That beneath the surface, he was capable of warmth, of affection, of love.

That even someone as fiery as Bakugou could be tamed by something as gentle as love was a revelation for the class. They found their respect and admiration for both Bakugou and Kirishima growing.

It wasn't all smooth sailing, of course. Bakugou and Kirishima had their disagreements, their fights. But through it all, their bond only seemed to strengthen.

In watching their relationship bloom and thrive, Class 1-A learned a valuable lesson. That love was not always about grand gestures or dramatic declarations.

It could be as simple as being the only one allowed to put an arm around someone's shoulder and surviving. Not just surviving, but being accepted, cherished, and loved in return.

And as they witnessed the raw, beautiful connection between Bakugou and Kirishima, the future heroes in Class 1-A realized that true strength lay in vulnerability, in trust, and in love.

It was a lesson they would carry with them as they fought villains, saved lives, and became the best versions of themselves - as heroes and as people.

And it all began with a simple observation - that Kirishima was the only one who could put his arm around Bakugou's shoulders and survive. A small detail that led to a beautiful relationship and timeless lessons.

So, Class 1-A watched as Bakugou and Kirishima's relationship flourished, reminding them of the power of love and friendship. And in doing so, they learned, grew, and formed bonds that would last a lifetime.

Because in the end, it wasn't just Bakugou and Kirishima who found something special. It was the whole class. They found a sense of camaraderie, understanding, and love for each other that was unshakeable and enduring.

And while Bakugou and Kirishima's relationship was certainly a highlight, it was the unity of the class, the lessons they learned, and the love shared amongst them that truly made them heroes.

Because being a hero wasn't just about fighting villains. It was about protecting what was important, supporting each other, and above all else, cherishing the bonds they formed along their journey.

So, in the end, it wasn't just about Bakugou and Kirishima. It was about Class 1-A as a whole, learning and growing together, forming indelible bonds, and becoming not just the heroes of the future, but the heroes of each other's lives.

And so, life in Class 1-A carried on with its usual mix of chaos and laughter. Because even amidst the battles, even amidst the struggles, there was always love, always friendship, and always, always, the unshakeable bond of Class 1-A.

Every hug, every smile, every shared moment stood testament to this bond. A bond that was shaped by many things, but perhaps most importantly, by the understated love story of Bakugou and Kirishima.

And thus, Kirishima's arm found its way back to Bakugou's shoulders, not once, but twice and survived. The iconic gesture symbolizing their bond, their love, and their journey together in Class 1-A.

A journey that was just beginning. A journey that would be filled with laughter, tears, triumphs, and failures. But above all, a journey that would be shared with friends who were as close as family.
