Summary
Many wouldn't peg Bakugou to be the comforting type.
He was rather harsh with his words, after all. Not exactly the most gentle person. Emotionally constipated, as some would say.
Yet when Kirishima needed it, he was there for him.
And in that moment of comfort, Bakugou comes to a startling realization.

Summary
Standing in the aftermath of his inaction, Dick knew he’d made a mistake. He should have done something. Something more than what he’d done. More than simply lowering his escrima sticks and stepping aside, letting her end the life of a terrible man. In the moment he’d felt no remorse for his inaction. Not until it was too late.

A Grave Miscalculation by multifaulty (Ravenclaws_owl)

Summary
Dick’s luck had finally run out. He knew Bruce would kill him if he found out, it’s not like he meant to get stabbed right before the big Wayne Foundation Spring Gala. He’d just wanted a few hours of Nightwing-time to clear his head, which he honestly deserved if he was going to the gala. Besides, the Wayne clan had an image to maintain, so he would go. Anyway, it was always fun to see Brucie make an appearance, though it may be a little less enjoyable with a stab wound.
***
Dick gets stabbed on patrol right before a gala, decides it's no big deal, and goes anyway. This may not have been the best plan.
