    Summary

    “I don’t know how you do it, Kirishima.”

    The voice caused Bakugou to stop on his way to the kitchen. He turned his head instinctively, even though he couldn’t see Kirishima or Kaminari or anyone else that was potentially in the common room to take part in the conversation. Still, something about the tone made him pause, made him curious.

    “Do what?” Kirishima’s voice held a genuine curiosity, and Bakugou could easily imagine the look on the boy’s face as he turned to his friend.

    “Date Bakugou.”


    Their classmates don't understand why someone like Kirishima would date someone like Bakugou. Bakugou pretends that the insinuations don't get under his skin, and Kirishima makes it his mission to make sure Bakugou knows just how much he means to him—and he makes sure their friends know it, too.

    Summary

    “I’m in love with you,” Bakugou said, trying to emphasize his meaning. But Kirishima understood. He always did, whether or not Bakugou put it into words. It had taken time and practice and patience, but he liked to think that, at this point, he had gotten very good at understanding.

    “I know,” he said, and he shuffled forward on his knees, leaning over the edge of the bed, resting his elbows on the blankets. He looked up at Bakugou. “Katsuk—”

    “No, wait,” Bakugou cut across firmly, shaking his head. “Shut up.” He closed his eyes, catching himself. “I mean… stop.” He inhaled sharply through his nose. “Just… let me…"

     

    Kirishima watched Bakugou as he struggled with the words, and he quickly understood. This was one of those moments.


    Kirishima expresses and understands love best through words of affirmation. Bakugou does his best to speak his language.

    Summary

    “We lost,” Bakugo chokes. “Don’t you get it?”

     

    “No, we haven’t.” Eijiro holds him until he feels Bakugo sag into him, completely limp, and then he holds him tighter. “Not while you’re still breathing.”

     

    Or, Kirishima makes Bakugo take a breath.

    Summary

    “What kind of hero am I if I let people down just because they’re supposed to be above my help?”

    Katsuki doesn’t have anything to say to that. Kirishima’s right. Neither of them has ever been the type to run from a fight and Kirishima, especially, is undyingly loyal.

    Katsuki’s argument isn’t anywhere near as noble. It’s selfish, cut clean and dry. He knows that Kirishima holds himself to the same standards that Katsuki holds himself to, that he needs to win, needs to know that he did everything in his power to help other people.

    But Katsuki needs Kirishima to come home safe.

    or

    Five times that Kirishima doesn't get it, and one time he does.

    Summary

    Eijirou brought his hands to his head and groaned.

    Waking up from cryosleep was always nasty business, but he’d gotten used to it after being put under a few dozen times. Back home, it had been a controlled process, with a whole crew of scientists monitoring him as the cryochamber systematically thawed him and woke him up in stages.

    But this time, the ship had overridden that process, thawing him much too quickly and forcing him awake to flashing lights, a blaring alarm, and the words “HYDRAULICS SYSTEM FAILURE'' blinking red on the piloting screen. He’d had no choice but to pilot the ship to the nearest planet, through an unfamiliar atmosphere, before crashing and then stuttering to a halt on rocky terrain.

    Hopefully, this was the right planet. A nice, habitable planet. One with air and water and optimal atmospheric conditions.

    Astronaut Kirishima ends up stranded and alone on an uninhabitable planet. As his supplies dwindle and his sanity slips away, he finds help from an unlikely source.
