The Silent Truth

Chapter 8 (Bakugou's P.O.V.)

Today I noticed that something was off about that damn Icy-hot today,

so I made it my plan to go visit him after school. The first time I went to visit him, he didn't answer, so I decided to wait a bit longer before going to visit him again.

A couple hours later I leave my dorm room and try again. I take my time

as I walk to his room. When I get there, I knock on his door and then wait for an answer. When I was about to leave, he finally opened the door. 'Took him long enough,' I thought before I realized his face was a little red and his eyes were puffed up. 'Was he... crying?' I asked myself.

"Can I come in?" I ask him, a bit more annoyed than I wanted it to. He

hesitated and looked to the side before slowly nodding his head. He moved out of the way so I can come in. When I did I almost immediately walked to his bed and sat down. I was about to pat the empty spot next to me for him to sit down but he Began to talk.

"Why did you come here?" He asked me. I didn't understand if he felt

annoyed by me coming here or if he just asked a question.

"I just came to see how you are doing, is that wrong of me to see how

my boyfriend is doing? Plus, have you seen your face today? It looked like you've been crying, so tell me, what's going on?" I asked him all these questions.

"Just family issues that I've been bottling up for awhile....." He responded. I looked down and stayed silent for a bit, confused. Then I looked back at him.

"What the hell? You can't bottle that shit up! If it bothers you so much

then you tell someone or stand up to your family. I may not know what exactly goes on in your house, and you may not trust me enough with your information, but please tell me if something's wrong next time. I want to help you, and try to make you feel better," I responded a bit irritated that he didn't lean on me, when something was wrong.

"Okay.." he responded as he sat next to me. I nodded and then wrapped an arm around his waist, rubbing his lower back in the process.

"Hey, you don't have to tell me now, but I can tell that whatever family

problem you're dealing with right now, you don't have to deal with it alone. If you'd like, I could stay here and comfort you," I say, stumbling over my words a bit. I look down at him with just my eyes and wait for an answer from him.

"I-I would like that thank you," he answered, stuttering a bit. I try hiding a blush and a smile as I move closer to the smaller boy, bringing him in a hug. Once he wraps his arms around me I use my strength to pick him up a bit so we could sit more relaxed on the bed. Once my back was leaning against the wall and I was a bit more comfortable, I put down Icy-hot, close next to me. I look down at him and move some hair out of his eyes, revealing a little bit of his forehead. 'His eyes are so beautiful' I think to myself as I move my hand down to his cheek to tilt his head up. 'I want... I want to kiss him,' I thought as I started to lean into him, but I stop and think 'But is it the wrong time?' I ask myself. 'Should I continue?' I ask myself again, still confused, but continue to move closer to him. Instead of kissing him where I want to, I tilt his head down and kiss him on his forehead.

"You can cry if you want, I won't judge," I say, bringing him to my chest

and into a hug. I could tell he hesitated at first, until I felt him shaking and started to sniff. All I could do was rub his back and keep him company. I silently stayed with him the whole time he cried, until I felt his breathing go steady. I looked down and noticed he was sleeping. I smiled gently at the sight before picking him up and setting him in his bed, tucking him in. I started to softly pet his head, before I got in with him and brought him close to me and slept with him.
