Summary
Kirishima had always been open with Bakugou about his self-esteem struggles. He’d admitted, more than once, that he still sometimes felt like he wasn’t enough, that his hardening wasn’t flashy or versatile enough compared to the rest of their class. Bakugou would grunt, call him an idiot, and remind him in his own gruff way that he was the only partner he trusted to have his back. Aizawa, too, had noticed the occasional dip in Kirishima’s usual boundless energy during homeroom check-ins and had quietly offered extra mentoring sessions. But no one knew the true extent of how deep the darkness could go.
