Kirishima sat in his room and rocked back and forth on his bed. He didn't want to believe the truth but it was hitting him like a train.
He liked Bakugo, he REALLY liked him.
"Oh god what am I gonna do?!" kirishima said and he began to tear up. He tried to stop himself from letting out tears. To him, crying about such a thing was DEFINITELY unmanly, but the more he thought about it he couldn't help it. He took a deep breath and started to sob. At least he was locked in his room where no one could see him, but it didn't mean no one could bother him.
Someone knocked three times on kirishima's door. "Eijiro? Are you okay love?" kirishima's mom was on the other side of the door. "I made your favorite for dinner and it's ready, come down."
"I-I can't right now mom, thank though. I'll come down later." He responded hoping he could keep his voice steady. When his mom is silent he assumes it works.
"…Is that, crying?! Are you crying Eijiro?! What's wrong, you never cry!" his mom practically shouted threw the door. She tried rattling the door knob and saw it was locked. "My boy, please open the door, what's wrong?"
"I guess it didn't work." Kirishima says under his breath before yelling back to his mom "I'm fine mom, really. Just please leave me alone." He doesn't even try hiding his voice anymore.
"My gosh, hold on I'll come back." Kirishima's mom says and then he can hear her walking down the steps.
With that, kirishima goes back to sobbing. He really doesn't know what to do or how this even happened. Bakugo was the first guy he ever had feelings for. Kirishima's always been good when it came to talking to girls, but he was always good talking to them as friends, he never tried nothing more and maybe that's why they got along with him so well. But he never considered it was because he was into guys!
"Oh my gosh, how? How did this happen?" Kirishima asked himself and thought back on the first moments he realized there could've been signs leading up to this.
There was the moment that kirishima first met bakugo. He was so excited to make new friends in a new class and he wanted to meet bakugo just like he met everyone else. Of course, when he first introduced himself, bakugo made some rude comment about wanting him to die but kirishima knew he was just acting out and laughed it off. He immediately took a liking to Bakugo and decided that he wanted to be the best of friends with him. When bakugo seen this, he eventually got used to having kirishima around and was fine with it.
Then there was the sports festival where kirishima and bakugo teamed up. He never had so much fun playing beside him. When bakugo was basically in the finals, he wanted to be his #1 supporter. He cheered louder for Bakugo than anyone in the stadium and was proud to call him his friend.
There were also moments where kirishima felt that some classmates were getting too close to Bakugo. Like midoriya, kirishima always felt midoriya wanted to be bakugo's #1 friend and it made him feel uncomfortable. When they were paired to be partners for the physical exam, kirishima put on a brave face but in fact he really felt…jealous. He wanted to be fighting beside bakugo and it made him kind of mad that it was midoriya instead. When bakugo and midoriya's turn was over he made sure to run up to bakugo and tell him what a great job he did.
Overall, they were always together in a way. In class, in the halls, walking home, and more. Kirishima loved talking with Bakugo. Even though most of the time bakugo was pretty extreme and tried to stay that way, he did open up to kirishima a bit more than anyone else.
It was today when they were walking home when Bakugo told kiminari and mineta to fuck off when they asked to join them for there walk (they just wanted to poke fun at them). Also, when they reached kirishima's house, kirishima had forgotten about the touching policy with bakugo and immediately lunged at him for a hug. Kirishima tensed up a bit afraid for what was coming next but to his surprise, bakugo actually hugged him back! Not as tight but tight enough to show he didn't mind. When kirishima let go, bakugo smiled a bit and said "see you tomorrow" and walked off. Kirishima's heart sped up uncontrollably and he knew he was blushing hard. He felt as if time itself had stopped for him to enjoy that moment. Once bakugo was out of sight he ran upstairs into his room and slammed the door before anyone could see how red his face was.
That was the moment kirishima realized how he felt about his friend. However, instead of feeling unbelievably happy, the truth had turned him into a sloppy runny mess. It wasn't that kirishima was ashamed of liking a guy, it was the fact that he didn't know what to do about it. Could he tell bakugo? Would bakugo hate him, or still want to be his friend? Would he tell the whole class? Could kirishima bring himself to stay friends with the boy he likes knowing he won't like him back?
As the questions rolled in, kirishima found himself crying even harder. "God I'm such an idiot, stop crying! So uncool!" he told himself but it wasn't working, he couldn't help but cry.
There was a knock at the door again and it was his mother. "Eijiro? You left your phone out here so I'm going to call one of your good friends okay? Maybe they'll know how to make you feel better." She said but kirishima had already drowned out his hearing from the world and continued to cry. "it's gonna be okay baby, I'll get help." She said and started dialing a certain persons number.
After a good ten minutes of crying, kirishima had fallen asleep. After another ten minutes there was a knock on the door. Kirishima groaned and tried to ignore it. He was clearly in no mood. However, the knocks got louder.
"Eijiro? I have a friend here to see you, you want to talk to him?"
His mom said from the other side of the door. Kirishima couldn't bother wondering whom she was talking about; he didn't really want to talk to anyone so he ignored her again. "Eijiro, if you won't talk to me, will you at least talk to bakugo, honey?
Kirishima's eyes shot open and he stared at his door for what seemed like forever. "W-wha…?" he mumbled. Maybe he heard her wrong. There was absolutely no way—
"Oi, riot, open up your mom left me in charge of you." Bakugo said threw the door causing Kirishma to fall off his bed face first. There was a loud thud and bakugo was curious. "hey, you okay?"
Kirishima scrambled to his feet immediately. "No…no, no, no, no, no, no! Why is he here?!" kirishima whispered to himself. He felt his tears rising up but forcefully held them down, THIS moment was definitely not the time.
Kirishma didn't know what to say. He stayed quiet for a moment until he heard him speak again. "Oi! Are you really in there?" he could hear he was getting impatient and he hated the waiting game.
"S-sorry bakugo, my moms a little crazy. Everything's fine, you can go back home." He said trying to sound cheery as possible but it was seeing the current circumstances.
"…Bullshit, now open the door. I already came over here to find out what's wrong with you so you might as well tell me if you're not gonna tell anyone else."
"Listen Bakugo I really do trust you, it's just that there's nothing to tell, y-you know? Sorry to make you come all the wa—"
"You have five seconds to open the door or I'll open it myself." Bakugo said sternly and kirishima panicked with fear because he knew he was serious. "5"
Kirishima thought about his options. Would bakugo really break down his door?
"4"
If he lets him in he doesn't necessarily have to tell anything…right?
"3"
Is he serious right now?!
"2!"
"Oh god!" Kirishima heard baukgo preparing one of his explosions so he quickly unlocked and yanked open the door hiding behind it. To afraid to move he stayed still.
He heard bakugo calm down and slowly enter his room. Kirishima stiffened and muted himself completely when bakugo was in his sight. Bakugo scanned the room.
"Don't play games with me, get out here." He said. Kirishima, still holding on his doorknob for dear life, cleared his throat a bit causing Bakugo to turn to him.
"H-hey bakugo. How's it goin buddy?" Kirishima tried smiling and flashing his sharp teeth. He wanted it to seem like everything's fine but he wasn't fooling anyone.
"Come out." Bakugo said and kirishima scooted out from behind his door. "What's wrong."
"I told you, there's nothing wrong! Everything's fine man, honest."
"Your eyes are red. Like, super red."
"What?" kirishima ran to the mirror in his room and saw that he was right. His eyes were really red and it was clear he was crying. He groaned and mentally kicked himself. He should've washed his face and eyes before falling asleep.
"You know, for someone who goes on about how cetain things aren't manly, it looks like you cried a lot. What's going on with you?" Bakugo sat on kirishima's floor. Kirishima walked over and sat on the floor, in front of his bed, directly across from Bakugo and sighed.
"Listen, I really apprieciate you coming over but I don't want to talk about it." Kirishima said looking at the floor. He couldn't bring himself to look at bakugo or else he might cry again.
"Why's that?"
"Because I just don't want to."
"There's a reason for everything, now why don't you want to talk about it?"
"Because…" kirishima could feel his eyes becoming watery.
"Because I just can't! You might hate me and never want to talk to me again." Two drops of water rolled down kirishima's face and he knew there was no going back no unless bakugo just dropped the convo all together. He couldn't bring himself to lie because it's a very unmanly thing to do.
Bakugo scooted closer until he was right in front of kirishima he went to wipe the tears away but kirishima immediately flinched and reacted. He couldn't handle bakugo touching him right now.
"D-don't do that!" he went to grab bakugo's hands to stop him but bakugo was quicker and grabbed kirishima's wrist and squeezed a bit. Kirishima groaned at his touch and closed his eyes. More tears started falling. When kirishima opened his eyes again, bakugo was just staring at him. Then he put both of kirishima's wrist in one of his hands and wiped off his tears with the other. Kirishima felt something come over him while he watched bakugo with wide eyes. He couldn't help himself, or deny his feelings any longer.
"I like you." Kirishima said staring at the ground now. Bakugou was still holding his wrist with one hand but removed his other from kirishima's face.
"…Is that so?" kirishima nodded slowly. After a couple seconds he felt he made a mistake but then bakugo pulled kirishima's face up by his chin to his and they were only two inches away. Kirishima was completely thrown off guard and stared into Bakugo's eyes with wide eyes of his own. "Then say it again, except this time look at me and then you'll become mine."
Kirishima was glad he was sitting because if he wasn't he would've fell to his knees and it would've looked so unmanly. He couldn't believe his luck but right now he just wanted to complete his new mission. With his eyes half way open, he struggled to keep his breath and keep the deep blush off his face.
"I really like you." Kirishima says and bakugo smirks.
"Then be my boyfriend." Bakugo said and kirishima was over taken with joy.
"REALLY?!" he screams and lunges forwards into bakugo. He tackles him and they roll around a bit before bakugo's head is slammed to the floor and kirishima pounces on him. He groans in pain but can't bring himself to scold to happy boy on top of him.
"Yea, really."
"YES! This is great!" kirishima says and hugs bakugo. They both chuckle for a moment before kirishima lifts his face to look at bakugo. For a moment thy stare at each other and kirishima feels desire wash over him again. Bakugo must see it because he looks at kirishima like he's waitin for his next move knowing exactly what it's going to be.
Kirishima slowly dips his head and lightly kisses bakugo. He hums in the kiss and he can't believe how good it feels and how happy he is. Without warning bakugo flips them over so that kirishima's on the bottom and he deepens the kiss. Kirishima's in heaven before he hears a yelp. They both break the kiss and see kirishima's mom standing in the doorway.
"Mom!" kirishima yells and blushes harder. Bakugo just snickers.
"I'M SORRY! I'm-I'm so sorry! Uuh, B-bakugo would you like to join us for dinner? I made Eijiro's favorite. T-That's all I came to ask." She said trying her best to hide her face.
"Yes, sure." Bakugou responds not making any attempt to get off kirishima until he pushes him off. Kirishima's mom nods and runs out. Bakugou and kirishima stand up.
"Oh gosh she's gonna be bothering me for a while now." Kirishima sighed and heads towards his door. Bakugou grabs his arm and pulls him back.
"Oi, just to let you know for future reference, I'm top." Bakugou grins but he's serious.
Kirishima can't take how much heat has ran threw his face today. He yanks away from Bakugo and runs out of his room.
"I wasn't even thinking about that!"
