Chapter Text
Kirishima has been there for as long as bakugou could remember. His relaxing and sweet smile and his stupidly cute hair-do. It was his positive energy that made him, well, Kirishima. Everyone loved and cared about him, and for good reason. Bakugou would kill anyone who didnt.
From the moment bakugou had first laid his eyes on the red spiky-haired boy, he had been awestruck. How could someone care so much for losers that they didn't even know? At first, it had really pissed him off. 'That idiot, wasteing his time for these damn extras. What's he planning?' He would think.
But then, Kirishima got his eyes on him! The very own Bakugou Katsuki himself! He would follow him around everywhere. He would push him away, insult him, threaten his life, but Kirishima just kept coming back, with the brightest smile on his face. What the fuck? It was like he was mocking him. Saying stupid things like, "Its cause I care about you bro!" He just couldn't rap his head around it.
'Why me?'
It confused him. And the more it happened, he more he felt like Kirishima was just another Deku. A stupid pebble on the side of the road. But, it was ... different? Like he actually enjoyed his company or something. He didn't like to think about it. He was Bakugou Katsuki! He didn't need anyone.
As the two got closer, something inside bakugou began to grow. Slowly changing his outlook on life. Not that he would ever admit to it. It made him feel embarrassed for a reason he could not explain.
But the more Kirishima stuck around, the more he finally began to realize that not everything is about winning. That, not everyone is useless. That, even someone as horrible as himself, someone who always looked down on every one else, could be appreciated by some dumb extras. And that even he, had weaknesses.
And then... The night at kamino. He had been kidnapped and humiliated in front of his whole class. And for three days, he was kept tied up. For three days, he was left wondering if he was every getting out of there. Scared out of his mind, because he no longer though that anyone was coming. That he was gonna die there, and no one would give a shit.
Because he was Bakugou Katsuki, the guy who said to everyone, "your all just stepping stones to my victory." The guy who almost killed his childhood friend because of his own ego. The guy who fucked up so bad, that the villains wanted him on their team. And that's what had really stuck to him.
Then all might, his idol, the one he had always looked up to, came in there to save him. He wanted to cry. It was over. But, no he had been wrong. It was just the beginning. All for one showed up. Everything happened so fast and before he knew it he was flying through the air, to the guy who had risked him life for him, and stayed with him the whole time. Ejirou Kirishima.
The guy who he trusted his life with. Their hands met and he couldn't hold back his smile.
"YOU IDIOTS!!" He shouted at them as they flew through the air. All he could do was look into Kirishima's eyes and feel like he was safe. Like everything was right in the world and this whole problem was over and done with.
Then....
'Oh my god.. ' Bakugou had stood still in fear and disbelief. All might. The strongest man in the world, had looked like a skeleton in a suit. Like with the slightest touch, he would wither and die. Against all for one. He was gonna die. This was all his fault. All might was going to die because of him. Because he was such a screw up that he had managed to get himself kidnapped. By villains. It was all his fault.
"ALL MIGHT!!!!!!!!" He cried out along with the crowd around him. He couldn't die. Not here. Not now.
And like a flash, all for one was down, and all might had won the battle. He was standing there, with his fist in the air. Victorious. He had won. He Had Actually Won! Everyone was cheering and crying. When the camera had focused, everybody went silent. So silent you could hear a pin drop.
...
"Now.... It's your turn....."
...
All might had said as he pointed at the news screen. Everyone cheered louder. But Katsuki just stood there. He couldn't understand what had just happened. Deku was beside him and had burst into tears once all might had said that. All might had been talking to Deku. Not everyone else. He had knew that something was up and he now he had got the horrible answer.
And that was the moment that everything had come crashing down. It was his fault. All might, the symbol of peace, the one person who could keep everyone safe was now gone. All thanks to stupid, pathetic Bakugou Katsuki. He was so weak, he had caused all of this to happen.
He felt as if the world had been pointing at him. The one responsible for all this. The villain child. Evil and malicious. Who ended all might. Everyone knew it. Everyone blamed him. All might was pointing at him! Showing every one who the real villain was.
Bakugou Katsuki.
It was all his fault.
Bakugou Katsuki.
Weak and responsible for ruining everyone's life.
Bakugou Katsuki, the villian.
A week or two had passed after that and they were in the dorms. But Bakugou didn't feel like any time had changed. He was still the screw up that ended all might. Even his parents had blamed him for what happened. Sure, his old man hadn't said anything, but his mom sure did. And he didn't doubt that his father agreed.
But everyone acted normal. Like nothing happened. And Kirishima seemed even happier then he used to. What the fuck? Bakugou wanted to crawl in a hole and die, and yet this bright stupid piece of sunshine was always there, to drag him out. A sympathetic look on his face and that never ending smile.
Why taunt him? He knew he messed up. And he knew things would never be the same. But why make him feel worse? Sure he deserves it, but he didn't wanna have the thoughts in his head any longer then they had to be.
"Bakugou?" Kirishima would call out in worry. And he couldn't help but wanna curl up in his strong arms and let it out. And to not be judged. To not feel like he was the cause for every bad thing. And Kirishima tried to make him see it. He could tell. But it never helped.
But Kirishima kept on trying. Not matter how much Katsuki yelled and screamed and cursed, he didn't give up. Up til the very end. Even after he fought with deku for no reason and caused more trouble. He was there. Supporting him.
Bakugou was done with it. He was so done. So, studying with Kirishima, he had finally broke. Kirishima had asked again and he couldn't hold it back. He started to cry. He was crying in front of his best friend. He was ashamed but he couldn't stop the tears falling from his eyes. So instead, he just cried. He cried and cried. He cried until he couldn't anymore.
Kirishima had been shocked and scared but had comforted him none the less. That was the thing about Kirishima. He was perfect. And Bakugou hadn't noticed up until that moment. That he needed Kirishima. That he couldn't live without him. That…
… he loved him...
...
They shared their first kiss on that night.
And that was when Kirishima finally shared his side of the story. About how he had always loved the quality that Bakugou carried. And how he wanted to be in his life as much as he could. But he just hadn't realized the emotion he had been feeling.
Until kamino, he felt like he was the only who had cared for Bakugou. The only one who cared that he was gone. One of the strongest and manliest guys in the class. He had thought that one of the most important people in his life was gonna die. And it has scared shit out of him.
And it wasn't until they were hand in hand, flying through the sky when he realized that the emotion that he couldnt name was... Love. And no matter what, he couldn't get it out of his head. He was ashamed of this feeling. And he didn't know why.
When he had finally come home after kamino, he cried all night long. He didn't know what to think. Was it relief? Or was it fear? Or anger, or confusion? He didn't know but he wanted things to just go back to normal. He fell asleep thinking of Bakugou.
When they got back, he had wanted to forget about what happened. So he pushed away his feelings and went to school. But, Bakugou was still there. He pushed it down even further. As much as he could. And it worked. Kinda. He started to hang out with Bakugou even more. Everyone noticed but they never said anything. And on top of that, Bakugou started to become more distant.
At this point Kirishima was both concerned, and yourning for him. So, He started studying with him more. And asking him if he was okay, every morning, and every time they studied. Until, Bakugou finally gave in. And that's when Kirishima finally understood why he was feeling this way.
He finally understood how much Bakugou had ment to him. He finally understood why he needed Bakugou in his life. He finally understood. He was gay. For the one and only bakugou.
They shared their first kiss, and everything made sense. Bakugou would be with him forever. He would be with Bakugou forever. And no one could change that.
No one would ever take his Bakugou away from him. And he would make sure of that.
