Bakugou didn't dare open his mouth in fear of what noise might come out of it. He didn't want to sound like a crybaby in front of anyone. But he felt so emotional right now, with Kirishima. Bakugou has never had a friend like him before. A friend who really notices, who cares, even when he isn't feeling like himself. Sure dumbass and tapeman and the pink alien are all his friends too, but Kirishima is different. He doesn't know what to call it, his feelings for Kirishima. He isn't good with talking about feelings.
Kirishima took a step forward and held out his arms and Bakugou fell right into them. It felt so good to be held. To have someone near, someone who cared. But then he pulled away, because he never hug his friends. They never do that.
"Bakugou, it's okay.", Kirishima said. "I actually... nevermind..."
"W-", Bakugou cleared his throat. "What is it?"
"Come sit down." Kirishima said, positioning himself on the edge of the bed. Bakugou sat himself down as far away as he could. Kirishima let out a sigh and looked down at his hands. "Now that we are alone, I have been meaning to tell you..." He started to blink a lot. So much that Bakugou snapped: "Just say it, and stop blinking like a freak just cry if you're gonna cry!"
"I'm sorry…", Kirishima stopped blinking and dried his eyes with his shirt. He looked up at Bakugou, then down, then up again. "Okay, um… so, I just wanted to say to you that I - gosh I'm so scared right now… okay, I'm just gonna say it: I really like you."
Silence
"As in like like."
Bakugou could feel his heart banging in his chest. As if it were trying to dig its way out. He sat there like an idiot, staring at this beautiful boy telling him that he likes him. Now Bakugou understands why his friendship with Kirishima is somehow different from the others. He likes Kirishima. He likes a boy. Bakugou had always thought he liked girls, he thought they were nice and cool sometimes, but he had never really felt any attraction to them. Not like he do to the boy sitting in front of him.
"I'm so sorry, I just hoped that you maybe- ", Kirishima started, but then Bakugou leaned forward and silenced him with a kiss.
"I do like you too, Kirishima.", he said. Kirishima's face was filled with surprise, but then his eyes found Bakugou's lips. He leaned in and kissed him. The kiss was soft, but then both started to want more. Thay pressed up upon each other, Kirishima took of his shirt. Bakugou watched as the beautiful boy started to pull of his sweater. But then he remembered his burnmark and promptly stopped Kirishima's arms.
"What is it?", Concern, all over Kirishima's face.
"I- ", what should he say? That he burned himself on the stove, just right so it formed a fist. No this was too obvious, he couldn't lie his way out of this. "I accidentally burned myself… on the arm… with my fist…"
Kirishima's eyes opened wide. "Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
"No it's oka-"
"We should go to Recovery Girl.", Kirishima starte to reach for his shirt, but Bakugou stopped him.
"NO! It's okay! I said it's okay!"
