Kirishima was a lot of things:

He could be extremely friendly, which people knew. There wasn't a single person that kirishima has talked to that didn't immediately like him. He even managed to get someone like bakugo to like him, let alone date him.

He could be silly. Barely a day went by that kirishima didn't play and mess around with his friends in class. He was constantly pulling off pranks with Kiminari and scaring mineta for fun. Everyone loved that about him.

He could be gentle and tough. Just the other day someone had asked him to show them his quirk. Of course he felt pride fill his body as he hardened his whole body and everyone stared in amazement. He truly lived up to the name red riot. However once someone walked pass with a small dog, kirishima immediately dropped his stance and fell to the ground to pet and give the dog all his affection. Everyone found it cute.

People knew kirishima could be smart, silly, stubborn, fun and more. But no one really expected him to be the jealous type.

At the moment he was in his last class of the day at school. His teacher wasn't really paying much attention and neither was kirishima, he was honestly too busy daydreaming over his boyfriend. He thought about his face, his hair, his evil glare, and his voice. Whenever he thought about Bakugo's hands, he thought about the feeling of them against him the other day in the bathroom so he avoided that memory as much as possible. It made him blush way too much and way too embarrassed.

He really was starting to fall deep for bakugo. He couldn't wait to see him everyday after school so that they could walk home together. When they had time, they'd see each other on the weekends and have all sorts of fun. One of kirishima's favorite things to do was make bakugo smile and laugh. It was so rare that it made it even harder to avoid trying. Whenever he did manage to get a smile, it filled him with happiness.

Today, he intended on doing the same thing. He wanted to meet Bakugo after school, invite him over for games and a movie, and make him laugh. He had planned out a perfect afternoon to spend with his best friend/boyfriend , and wasn't going to let anything ruin it.

Well, that was until Ashido walked over to him and burst his bubble.

"Hey, kirishima! Where's bakugo goin? And who's that girl with him?" She asked in her perfect pitched voice.

"That…girl?" kirishma was confused clearly so ashido pointed out the window in the classroom.

"Yeah! That girl! See? You can see her and bakugo walking away from the school from here." Ashido said and Kirishima immediately jumped up and pressed his face to the window.

She was right, there was a girl with Bakugo, and they were walking away from the school. He couldn't exactly make out her face, but she did have long sandy blonde hair like bakugo's color and looked the around same age. However, last time he checked, bakugo didn't have any siblings like that. So who was this girl?

Suddenly the girl looks over at bakugo giggles and wraps her arms around him as they walk. Kirishima watched carefully for Bakugo's reaction, but he was shocked to see there wasn't one.

He slammed his hands and head against the window and stared in disbelief. "Huuuuuuuuuh?!" kirishima squealed and Ashido shushed him.

"Ssssh, kirishima! Yea, the teacher isn't payng much attention to us right now, but don't catch his attention! Wow kirishima, I never imagined you being the jealous type." She snickered.

"W-wha?" Kirishima looked at her as he processed what she had said. "Me? The jealous type, n-no I don't think so. I'm positive katsuki just chose to hang out with his…new friend today…without exactly…telling me."

Kirishima lowered his head and ashido was clearly able to see that something was going threw his head that made him feel down. She quickly wrapped her arm around him and squeezed tight.

"Don't worry bud! I'm sure Bakugo will call you tonight and tell you all about his new friend. I don't wanna see that cute face of yours down! Love you, see you later!" and with that ashido was gone as the last bell of the day rang.

Kirishima returned to his desk and retrieved his things. He didn't rush to leave class, because apparently he wasn't meeting his boyfriend today. With a little bit of hope, kirishima returned to the window to see if his boyfriend might've been waiting for him, and that the girl was just saying hi.

But when he returned to the window, bakugo and the girl was gone. Kirishima felt a little sting in his heart as he left school that day.

Later that night, kirishima lied in bed and stared up at the ceiling. He didn't understand what was really happening. Bakugo had not called him to tell him about the girl he seen or even called him to say hi! They hadn't really talked that much that day. He seen bakugo first, second, and third period, but the rest of the day they were apart. Bakugo didn't say anything this morning about a girl. In fact he seemed kind of aggravated. Now that kirishima thought about it, he didn't remember anything happening to bakugo recently that made him angry.

Kirishima was starting to become restless. He decided to be the first and call his boyfriend, seeing he clearly didn't intend on calling him. As the phone rang, kirishima was already nervous. Usually Bakugo would pick up the phone after five seconds for him, but it was only seconds away from voicemail when bakugo finally answer.

"QUIET MOM, EIJIRO IS ON THE PHONE…hello?" kirishima heard bakugo yell at the top of his lungs and return to his normal voice. Kirishima felt kind of relieved hearing his boyfriends voice.

"H-hey! I was just calling to say hi, I didn't see you after school today." Kirishima said.

"Oh yeah, sorry bout that." Bakugo said. And that was all.

"Sooo, did anything happen? Like did something or someone come up?"

"Oh yeah, no nothing serious my mom just needed me to come home to help with dinner." Bakugo said and kirishima immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Did bakugo just…lie to him? To kirishima it didn't look like he went straight home. Him and that girl were taking there sweet time walking away from school. Also, kirishima gave bakugo the opening to tell him about this mystery girl, but he didn't. Kirishima's chest was knotting up, but for now he decided to let it slide.

"Okay then." He said trying not to sound too harsh. "But everything's good then?"

"Yup, grand." Bakugo said but he clearly didn't sound happy.

"Alright, so-" Before he could finish his statement, kirishima hears a door open and close on bakugo's line. All of a sudden there's a high pitched giggle in the back and bakugo sighs.

"Sorry kirishima, but this isn't a good time right now. I promise I'll call you back later okay?"

"Uh…okay." Krishima mumbled.

"Hey, who's that?" was the last thing kirishima heard before bakugo hung up. The voice sounded completely different and high-pitched…like a girls. Kirishima knew far too well that wasn't bakugo's mom talking with such a voice.

Sadness had turned to fear, and now fear was turning to anger. Kirishima HATED being angry, because it wasn't him. It made him feel vulnerable and silly. He knew he'd have to work on controlling these emotions later, but right now, bakugo had too much to answer for.

The couple of days that passed weren't so different and it fueled kirishima's anger even more. Bakugo seemed real distant, wasn't talking to Kirishima as much as he used to, and he still hasn't told him about the mystery girl. Kirishima really didn't want to believe it, but the thought of Bakugo having a secret lover was really killing him and it was beginning to show. All of kirishima's friends were starting to notice how downs he's been. It was like a cycle of emotions for him. First he'd sulk, and then he'd get paranoid, and turn full blown angry. Everyone thought it was best to give him his space, but some thought it was time for him to get out of this mood swing pattern. Ashido was the first to approach kirishima during last period.

"Hey, kirishima. How you doin buddy?" she asked kindly. She did her best to stay calm instead of her usually excited self. The last thing she needed right now was to overwhelm her friend with her overly positive attitude.

Kirishima looked at her, and then pressed his forehead against his table and sighed. "I'm okay, ashido. Thanks for asking."

"Nooo, you're clearly not. Is this about Bakugo and that girl?" once she asked, kirishima sat up, folded his arms, and pouted.

"I don't know what's wrong with him! He's not telling me anything about her, he's barely talking with me these days, and doesn't even have time to hang out with me! It makes me upset at times, but mostly angry!" Kirishima said and he unconsciously hardened his arms and bared his shark-like teeth.

"U-uh, okay! It's okay bud, calm down a bit you're scaring some of the other students." Ashido patted kirishima's back as he unhardened himself. She was right, half the class thought kirishima was gong to explode and most of them took cover just in case.

"Gosh, I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do. I bet he's with her right now, maybe listening to her tell him all about her day. This sucks!"

"Don't be so down, kirishima! I doubt they're even together." Ashido says as she walks over to the window. "In fact, I bet he's right outside waiting for you to finish class to…wha?!" Ashido cuts herself off as she looks out the window. When kirishima gave her a funny look she turned back to him and giggled nervously, praying he wouldn't look.

"Is…is he out there?"

"Well...he's out there alright." She mumbled.

Kirishima walked over to the window, thinking his boyfriends heart finally returned to him. However, once he looked out the window he was very disappointed. Bakugo was out there, but he was once again with the girl with long beautiful hair, who was bouncing around bakugo as they walked. Once she thrown herself at him and hugged him, kirishima lost his patience.

"SON OF A-" Kirishima yelled as he hardened his whole body.

"Yikes!" Ashido squealed and the whole class prepared themselves for whatever might come next. Kirishima was fuming.

"WHY is he doing this?!" kirishima shouted and banged on the glass. It was a miracle that it didn't break, and it was even a bigger miracle that bakugo and the girl was able to hear it. Both of them stopped walking away and slowly turned around to see where the noise came from.

"Oh crap!" Ashido said and she ducked down, pulling Kirishima with her. After a couple of seconds, she peeped her head threw the window to see if they were still searching for who made the noise, but they stopped looking and were gone.

Ashido sunk back down and looked over at kirishima, who looked like a puppy sulking. She grinned lightly and wrapped her arm around him.

"Let's go shopping, huh?" Ashido lightly smiled and kirishima groaned out of sadness but acceptance.

Later that evening, ashido and kirishima had checked out almost every store in the nearest mall. Ashido shopped for clothes, school supplies, shoes, and all sorts of stuff and did not hesitate to drag kirishima into every store. Time to time she'd ask him his opinion on certain stuff before buying it.

"This! How would this look on me?"

"Awww these shoes are so cute! They're to die forrrrr!"

"Oooo, this one! This one!"

Even though Ashido was dragging him around, and asking so many questions, kirishima was actually having some fun. He was able to shop along with her and laugh at the jokes she made. At this point, kirishima realized that Ashido really must've been one of his real close friends because she was always by his side and she went this far just to distract him from thinking about his stupid excuse for a boyfriend. They've already spent hours in the mall, but Ashido had one more store she wanted to go to.

"These guys have these really plump peaches that I like so I think I'll pick some up along with some other stuff and then we can go, I promise!" she squealed as she led him to the next shop, but all of a sudden kirishima stopped walking and just stared at her. When she noticed she stopped too.

"Huh? What's wrong kirishima? Don't tell me this is a secret love confession you're about to me." She joked but it was clear she was nervous for what kirishima was going to say.

"Ashido…I just want to say thank you. You know, you really didn't have to do this, but you did and that tells me a lot about you. I think you're the first girl I've ever gotten this close to and I'm glad it's you. Thanks, ashido." Kirishima said with a big heart and to her surprise his usual smile was plastered on his face again.

At first she just stared at him, taking in his words. Soon she loosened up and smiled softly. "Call me Pinky."

"And call me Eijiro."

"Whew! I really thought you were going to make a confession to me about a secret love or something!" she laughed and kirishima laughed with her. She clung onto his arm as they walked to the next shop.

"Do you think this one is good?" Ashido asked picking up a peach and examining it from all angles. Kirishima leaned over and looked at the fruit.

"Nah not that one. Check this one out!" he said and showed her another peach.

They were in the fruit and veggies section in the supermarket of the mall. So far ashido had only picked out two out of six peaches she wanted to bring home. She could've honestly picked any of them but she wanted the ones she felt were special, and in this case the special ones were the ones that kirishima and her picked out.

"This is fun, what else do you have to get from here? Are you making dinner tonight at your place?" kirishima asked. As he went through the different peaches, he wasn't thinking about bakugo, or school, or anything at all which made him content.

But then he heard a laugh. A laugh that sounded cute, high-pitched, and way too familiar. He quickly looked up and spun around searching the crowd for who could've laughed like that. For a moment he considered giving up because he didn't see anyone, but then he heard it again and sharply turned in the direction it came from. He was beyond surprised to see the long sandy blonde hair that he'd notice anywhere. It was the girl; she was standing outside of the market and kirishima could see her a little more clearer now. She had a small shape but still lovely. Her eyes were different because one was crimson and one was green! Even though her eye colors were funny she was still…beautiful. When kirishima saw her, she was alone on her phone.

Until out of nowhere, bakugo walked up to her and took her hand leading them elsewhere.

Kirishima lost all thoughts of restraint and quickly started to put down peahes and leave the store, without Ashido noticing. 'Sorry Pinky, I just have to know. I'll make this up to you another time.' He though to himself and quickly looked for where bakugo and his friend went. Once he spotted them, he followed but stayed at a distance.

"Hey eijiro! I think I found all of the peache—huh?" Ashido stopped speaking when she noticed kirishima was no longer next to her. In fact he wasn't even in the store. "Huh?! W-What?! Where did you go! Eijiro!" She looked around frantically hopng she wasn't ditched and this was all a game for him; that would make her feel like crap. Luckily for her she quickly got a glance of him walking away from the shop with determination in his eyes.

"U-uh! Okay okay, think Pinky!" ashido said to herself. She wanted to catch up and see what was going on with kirishima but she also couldn't leave without her perfect peaches. "Okay! Buy these first, then go after Eijiro!"she told herself and ran to the cash registers.

In the meantime, kirishima kept up his chase. He followed them down every hall they turned on and stood near every store they went to. He couldn't help but notice how they stuck together like glue, just like how kirishima and bakugo do. Every step he took closer to them, his heart felt like it was going to burst. He wanted to scream but he couldn't, for now he'd just have t wait and see if what he was thinking was true.

Unfortunatley for him, he got his answer.

It seemed like Bakugo and the girl had finished there shopping. Most of the bags Bakugo held but they all looked like they were mainly for her. As the made there way to the exit, Kirishima followed. There was a point where they stopped and and were talking by the exit so kirishima quickly hid behind a pillar in the mall. He watched carefully from behind it, but soon wished he hadn't. Out of nowhere, the girl jumped around a couple of times, jumped on bakugo for a hug, and kissed him on the cheek. Kirishima watched with wide eyes to see what his boyfriend would do. Would he tell her to back off? Would he tell her he didn't have feelings for her like that? Would he mention kirishima right now?

But all bakugo did…was smile.

He smiled. The girl made him smile and that was kirishima's job. He didn't think it was possible for some randonm girl to put a happy face on his beloved Bakugo, but she did. He couldn't believe it, and that wasn't the only thing he couldn't believe.

This changed everything. Bakugo was no longer his beloved bakugo. He was a liar, a jerk, a sneak…and a cheater. Bakugo and the girl started to walk out of the mall but Kirishima no longer needed to watch and there was no point of following them. He turned back and slouched against the pillar. All of a sudden he heard his name being called, but didn't leave his little world of sadness to see it was Ashido.

"Hey! Hey, I finally caught up." She said and stopped for air. When she finally caught her breath she looked at kirishima with worried eyes knowing something was clearly wrong. "W-What's going on Eijiro? What happened, are you okay?"

"…They were here." Kirishima said as tears filled his eyes. Ashido panicked as she watched him slide down until he was sitting on the floor with his back rested against the pillar.

"W-Who? Who was here?"

"Bakugo…and that girl…she kissed him, and…he smiled." Kirishima managed to croak out. His lip started to curl as he tried to hold back his cries that needed to be released.

"Oh…" Ashido whispered and she lowered herself next to kirishima. "Oh, Eijiro I'm so sorry."

"He had a secret girlfriend and I was too foolish and in love to see it." Kirishima cried out as tears started to roll down his face. Everyone knew kirishima firmly believe in manliness, but right now, crying is what he needed. It wasn't the first time he cried over Bakugo, but of course, now it was totally different.

Ashido's eyes filled with tears at the sight of her new close friend crying. She quickly pulled him in for an embrace, and let him cry to his hearts content right in the middle of the mall.

It was dark by the time Ashido and kirishima decided to go home. Ashido walked home with him because she knew that's what he needed right now.

"I can't believe that jerk! Next time I see him, I'm going to throw acid all over his face! How could he?!" Ashido yelled. She was clearly more angry about the situation more than anything.

"I don't even know, I guess I chose the wrong one to love." Kirishima sighed and kicked pebbles as he walked. "I feel like shit, how did I not see it coming?"

"No one really sees stuff like this coming, eijiro. It's nowhere near your fault and you need to know that. Besides, it's that jerks loss. He's a fool for not seeing what a magical, kind-hearted, strong person you are. You're gonna make a great hero without him for sure." Ashido pumped her fist in the air and yelled.

Somehow, it made kirishima feel slightly better. "Are you confessing a secret love for me, Pinky?" he joked.

She was so surprised that he was able to do that right now that she laughed extra hard. When they stopped in front of his house, kirishima hugged her to say thank you.

"Wait," Ashido said and went rummaging threw the bags she had from shopping. It took her ten whole seconds before she pulled out a peach. "I want you to have this peach, it was the most special peach I found there so I want to give it to a really special person. It's okay to be sad about this Eijiro, it's natural. But just don't beat yourself up about it, let that explosion fool know who he messed with the next time you see him!"

Kirishima smiled and took the fruit. "Thanks pinky, you're the best friend a guy like me could ask for."

"I know right?!" she giggled. "Have a good night Eijiro! I'll see you tomorrow in school!" she said and she ran off to get home.

Kirishima watched her before entering his own house. Once he opened the door, the family scent of his house filled his nose and he suddenly felt at peace. He heavily sighed before taking off his shoes and heading to the kitchen. He put his best fake smile when he saw his mom finishing up dinner.

"Eijiro! You're later than usual. Everything okay?" she smiled at him. He couldn't exactly bring himself to tell her what was happening at the moment so he lied.

"Yeah me and Ashido just went to the mall and got some stuff. Everything's perfect."

"That's good, did you talk to Bakugo today?" she purred. Even though he was a beast, kirishima's mom really liked bakugo. Maybe that's why he didn't really want to tell her right now.

Kirishima's mood suddenly went from sad to angry. He switched phases really quick and wanted to do nothing more but rip Bakugo's heart out. "Yuup! He's fine too." Kirishima lied threw his teeth and clenched his fist.

"That's great! Well, he called the house today and wanted to talk to you, but I told him you were out so he said to just call him back later." Kirishima's mom said and started to set up plates at the table.

Something in Kirishima's heart ached and it made him feel worse. His fake smile was immediately wiped off his face when he realized at this point Bakugo was being unfair by holding onto him. He thought about the last couple of words Ashido had said to him. "Let that explosion fool know who he messed with." She was right, he was threw.

"You know what mom…I think I'll go over to him now." Kirishima said and before she answered he had already started putting back on his shoes. His mom looked back at him surprised.

"What?! Are you sure? Right now?!" she asked.

"Yea! I'll only be a couple of minutes, ten tops." He said before leaving the house and closing the door. "I'm gonna give that asshole a piece of my mind." Kirishima growled to himself.
