Kiribaku Oneshots

❓ Crooked ❓

A/N: A day late, I know. I had prewritten some and wanted to spend time with my family, so I won't apologize for this being late. The next oneshot will come out today or tomorrow as well. Also, uh, arthritic Kirishima in this one? I dunno, I've just been so damn stressed out about my arthritis today, and I don't know why. And my instinct is to be a petty bitch about it and push it all onto my comfort character so it can feel like I've got someone else who goes through the same thing. So there'll be a lot of talk about that disease, the medications that go with it (including injections), and bone cracking. Don't like, don't read.

Kirishima's POV

Today is shit.

Today feels like shit.

I don't know what's wrong, I just know something's gonna happen.

It's one of those days where I can sense that there's something bad that'll happen.

And I'm scared.

Honest to god, I'm terrified.

I never like feeling that way, because then I know my head's going to be swarming with anxious thoughts and overwhelming emotions until I absolutely explode.

I don't think I can take that right now.

It hurts.

My hands and fingers hurt.

I don't want them to hurt anymore.

I've been trying not to rely on pain killers too much.

I can't write or draw too long. I was making drawings for my friends as Christmas gifts. I'd started too late. I should've started earlier.

Instead, I'd started on Christmas Eve, or maybe the day before that. I only got two drawings done.

I procrastinated, yes. Not because I didn't want to draw, but I got distracted. It happens a lot. But the state my fingers are in doesn't help either.

So I just had two drawings done out of the four or five I needed to get done. And I wanted to send them all at once, so it didn't seem like I was playing favorites.

So I felt guilty.

I knew we'd agreed not to get each other anything. So at this point, when I finish, since it isn't even anything festive, I'll just say it's a fucking drawing I wanted to make for them.

I know that by the time I get all those drawings done, it'll be January, maybe even February.

I'd dropped off Katsuki's gift a few days ago.

Like I said above, no one was getting gifts for each other. But Katsuki is my boyfriend, and it's our first Christmas, and I wanted to give him a gift.

So I made him a card and bought him a necklace.

The necklace was a cute rose quartz on a chain, which supposedly meant love.

Although he isn't out to his parents about our relationship, I bought him that meaning genuine love. But, in case it was perceived that way by his parents, the description on the cardboard the necklace was attached to said something about friendly love and self-love.

You know, throw them off the scent of gay.

Though the gay is strong with Katsuki, I'll say that right now.

I need to do stuff though.

Like shut the fuck up and get out of bed.

Sitting up, I stretched, my right shoulder and mid-back cracking loudly. When I swung my legs over the side of my bed to stand up, nothing cracked.
