Favorite KiriDeku Summer Date:

I can totally picture these sweet boys going on dates around the city during their lunch breaks! They both overwork and love being heroes so much, but they never forget to carve out time for each other, even if it means stolen kisses over their favorite ice cream or playful short rendezvous at the beach.

Introduction:

Hiya, I’m Radiant! I adore these two sunshine boys who are so strong and passionate in everything they do, who fought through their insecurity to put smiles on everyone’s faces, who are always looking to help. I just think kirideku are so cute together and I want to see them make each other smile!

Favorite KiriDeku Summer Date:

I think KiriDeku would have an awesome time going rock climbing together!! First at a rock wall, then a second date mountain climbing! They’d hype each other up, compete to ring the bell at the top first, catch each other if they slipped, and come up with all these silly limitations like “your feet can only touch dark blue rocks, your hands can only touch green”

Favorite KiriDeku Summer Date:

I love the idea of these two being on a picnic, enjoying each other's company and having a big wicker basket filled with their favorite snacks. I'm thinking it'd be an excuse for them to lay on a blanket and stare up at the stars after they're done eating.

Favorite KiriDeku Summer Date:

To beat the heat, they started the tradition of going to support small indie cinemas and watch old hero movies/biopics/documentaries. They would watch them all — films would be about their favs crimson riot and all night or others, but after wards over a shared meal they would go into detail about how manly or creative the hero was with their quirk, and what an impact they had on bettering society, excitedly fanboying.
