So, this is an angsty-eventually-fluffy (And eventually smutty) three-shot that I have. Warnings for homophobia, so you might wanna steer clear if that makes you uncomfortable.

Kirishima was always like this, and he would never want to change that. He had hints during his younger childhood days, wanting to be around guys more often. Kirishima then learned of a term called "homosexuality" and he asked his parents about it, who were more than a little upset about him asking them about it. They told him that it's about a guy liking a guy, and that homosexuals are "aberrations of human flesh" thanks to their very conservative views. Kirishima's father told him that you have to be "manly" to avoid becoming like that; his description for manliness went on and on, describing it in avid detail. Kirishima thought about it, is he gay, a homosexual, for wanting to spend time around other guys? Would his parents view him as an "aberration of human flesh" if he ever tells them? Kirishima didn't feel like telling them.

It was during his final years in middle school that he finally realized that he did like other guys, developing crushes on the "manliest of men", like the ones on sports teams. Eventually, he realized that his parents wouldn't be happy at all if they found out, remembering how they treated a gay couple in a park sometime ago; they shouted and chastised them, calling them the "downfall of all the virtues of humanity", and "the death of humanity itself". Fearing for his own safety, Kirishima adopted the "manliness" principle, but not for his father's sake, but for his to use as a shield; to fool others, especially his parents, into thinking that he's part of the regular people, and not an "aberration of human flesh" that they say homosexuals are.

Kirishima will have to keep this shield up for a very long time.

Kirishima's days in UA flew by really fast, going from the entrance exam, to the USJ incident, then the thing with the hero-killer, then Bakugou's kidnapping at the lodge, and the most recent one being All Might's showdown with the head villain, with said hero retiring afterwards. Those days were truly hectic and went by fast, but at least he made some friends along the way, especially his best bros Kaminari and Bakugou (If he could call the explosive guy that). However, Kirishima saw Bakugou in a more different light from Kaminari. Kirishima viewed Kaminari in a best friend type of light, being able to find solace in him in times when he needs to vent and to also have someone to have serious fun with. Concerning Bakugou, however, Kirishima found himself being drawn towards the blonde, and he found his spirit and determination really manly, and liked his fiery and explosive personality too, finding it "cute". Apart from his middle school days, where he had eyes on a lot of guys, Kirishima only had eyes on Bakugou.. and that's when he realized that his admiration turned into a crush.

Hey shitty hair! What the fuck are you staring at me for?!

Uhh n-nothing man! Sorry about that!

The realization crushed Kirishima. Why? Because he's very sure Bakugou isn't the type that's interested in relationships, let alone someone that's interested in guys. Letting go of previous crushes was easy since they were just passive glances at barely known people, but this is Bakugou, the person that Kirishima has a special friendship with, the person that Kirishima believes that views him as his equal, as someone he could trust. He's going to have to try harder on hiding his emotions around Bakugou, Kirishima does not want to get explodo-killed today or any day.

I like Bakugou.. that's hella manly!

This day was Kirishima's worst.

He just went outside to buy some snacks at the convenience store, but when he returned, his parents were grim-faced and angry at him. He didn't understand why, but he was suddenly dragged down to the floor and being hit with a belt and some blunt object before he could think of it, but thanks to his quirk, he didn't receive any physical injuries.

"You're our son?! You're a disgusting aberrationof human flesh, that's what you are!"

What was worse were the emotional injuries. The idea of his parents hitting him and shouting derogatory slurs at him really hit him home.. and he cried because of that, receiving more derogatory responses for it.

"You call yourself a man, you fucking crybaby waste of space?! I can't believe we wasted our lives on you!"

Kirishima couldn't take it anymore, and wanted to know why his own parents were beating him fruitlessly.

"Why are you doing this?! What did I do?! I did nothing wrong!"

His parents were quick to react.

"Why now, Eijirou?! Well, we checked your internet search history, and guess what we found?!"

"Y-you did what?!"

"Your internet search history! It's full of gay porn! And so is your download history!"

He remembered that he left his computer on. Kirishima stared at his parents in disbelief for snooping around on his computer.

"Admit it. You're a piece of gay trash. Say it! Admit it!"

Kirishima stood up from the floor and glared daggers at his parents. Clenching his fists, he mustered up his courage to fight back.

"Fine. I'm gay, so what? It doesn't make me any less of a person!"

A blow was sent to Kirishima's head, enough to send him down to the floor but without injury thanks to his quirk. Kirishima then felt a foot on his head, which was his father's. The man waved a bat around his face as he slowly applied more pressure to it..

"Yes. It. Does. We detest the likes of you!"

"I can't believe you're our son, or should we even call you that anymore?"

The foot was removed from his head, and Kirishima's parents soon dispersed from him, leaving him be on the floor as he cried. Eventually, Kirishima got up from the floor and ran for his room, locking the door tight, then crashing onto his bed, crying all of his emotions out, then screaming into his pillow.

All Might arrived at the Kirishima residence about the dorms. The parents let him in gracefully and offered him a seat on the couch.

"You see, Mr and Mrs Kirishima, in light of the threats the students have been facing lately, the school has built some dormitories in the campus so they'll be further under our protection. I am here to seek your approval for Eijirou's transfer to the dormitories."

The parents' faces immediately turned displeased, and at the same time were pleased. All Might got confused at their expressions, and why they stood up.

"Oh he's all yours. Get him out of our house."

All Might was taken aback at the statement and the sharp tone used by the parent.

"Get him now, by all means. He's in his accursed room down the hall."

All Might didn't feel like questioning the parents as they went to different parts of the house, so he stood up from the couch and made his way to Kirishima's room, which was locked. All Might could hear some sobs coming from the room; he lightly knocked on the door.

"Kirishima, my boy. It's All Might."

The sobbing stopped for a moment. Kirishima shuffled to his door and opened slightly, sticking his head out enough to get a glimpse of his teacher.

"All Might?"

"Yes. May I come in?"

Kirishima shuffled to the side and allowed All Might in; the boy is a mess, his eyes reddened from all the crying he did, and even the tears were still there. His hair is all over the place as well.

All Might went inside the room, finding it adorned with Crimson Riot material. Kirishima closed the door as All Might got in, and the redhead sat down on his bed, asking for his teacher to sit beside him.

"Why are you here?"

Kirishima sounded defeated, which is highly unlike him. All Might felt the need to comfort the disheveled-looking boy, so he did, patting him on his back.

"What happened with you and your parents, Kirishima?"

Kirishima flinched at the mention of his parents. A few tears were let loose.

"I heard that they want me out of here.."

"That is why I'm he-"

Kirishima cut him off.

"I want to be out of here also."

Kirishima started to sniffle. All Might tried putting the pieces together, but he'll need Kirishima's story for that.

"This place is.. nothing but hate!"

The redhead is now crying, and out of impulse, he hugged All Might for comfort.

"Kirishima, I can't help you if you don't tell me what happened."

"I heard you telling them about some dorms back at school. Can I go live there now?"

Kirishima wanted out of the house. He doesn't want to live in a house that'll get him treated like an "aberration of human flesh", so he'll take any chance he can get. With the dorms, he has independence, and he'll be around people that'll be very unlike his parents.

"Kirishima-"

"Please!"

Kirishima tugged at All Might some more, and as All Might saw the desperation in Kirishima's eyes, he had to know what the problem is; he can't find the solution without knowing the problem first.

"You have to tell me first what the problem is."

Kirishima sat comfortably on his bed, and breathed in and out as he began to tell his story to All Might; he started with his experiences as young kid, then going to his years as a middle schooler, telling All Might about how he felt "funny" around other guys. Kirishima went on, getting to the part about how his parents view gay people as aberrations of human flesh, then to his sudden revelation of how he likes guys.. and that he likes Bakugou. Kirishima eventually got to the most recent part, when his parents discovered his true nature and attempted to demean and beat him, which led to his condition at the very moment. All Might was truly aghast at Kirishima's story, and so he agreed to allow the redhead's early admission into the dorms.

"Alright.. I'll notify the other staff that you'll be going in the dorms early. You can go today."

All Might got up from the bed, dialing a number on his phone, then he ruffled the redhead's hair in a fatherly manner.

"Don't worry, my boy. Your secret's safe with me. And no matter what people tell you, you're still a human being. We'll also have some legal matters to deal with in regards with your parents."

Kirishima started crying again, but tears of joy this time. He bolted from his bed and squeezed All Might in a tight hug.

"Thank you All Might! Thank you so much!"

The hug made All Might spew out some blood, making Kirishima let go at once and he apologized frantically. All Might eventually regained his footing, and patted the redhead in assurance.

"I can see the silver-lining here, Kirishima. For one, you and Bakugou are more similar than you think."

The statement made Kirishima stop in his tracks, a look of wonder on his face.

"All Might.. what do you mean by that?"

All Might smiles at the redhead then pats him on the shoulders, and goes to sit on his desk chair afterwards.

"You'll find out eventually. Patience is key. And don't worry about your stuff, we'll have someone come by and get them for you. For now, get what you need."

Kirishima wanted to press further, but just gave up and went to shoving some stuff in his bag. Afterwards, he followed All Might outside, not sparing a glance to his parents. Once outside, he spotted All Might's car, finding Aizawa in it. He waved at his homeroom teacher then plopped himself on the back seat of the car. Kirishima wanted to press All Might further for answers, but he can't because he's ALL MIGHT! After a short word with Kirishima's parents, All Might got in his car and drove off. Aizawa asked All Might as to why Kirishima is with them, and he told him the whole story while driving. Meanwhile, Kirishima couldn't help but let his mind wander on All Might's words..

We're more alike than we think... what do you mean, All Might?

Well, thanks for reading! Thoughts? And It'll only get better from here, trust me.
