Bakugou X Kirishima's sister (Reader)

Chapter 31

Saturday morning was spent in a whirlwind of cleaning. Your parents had you putting even the smallest things away and cleaning any visible surface in the house. Your grandma was flying into town tonight and your parents wanted everything perfect for her arrival. It was now late afternoon and you were all taking a much-needed break before you set out to the airport.

You checked your phone to find yet another message from Kyoko. Yet again she sent you a picture of another guy and a list of his qualities. You looked it over and you had to admit the guy was attractive, he didn't have that same pretty boy look as all the rest. But just because he looked different didn't mean he was. Shutting off your phone you went back to cleaning, not really having anything else to do.

Everything, and you meant everything, was now clean, even the little ridges of the sliding glass door were clean. Your father said he'd get your grandma alone to let you and your mother rest before welcoming her home. You sat at the dining room table while your mom made a snack.

"Okay, no more sulking." She spoke as she took a seat across from you.

"What are you talking about?" you asked, reaching for one of the crackers on her plate.

"You're not fooling anybody anymore. I let it slide during the summer, hoping now that you were back in school, you'd feel better, but you haven't changed. So, I'm letting you know you're not allowed to sulk anymore." She grinned at you. You knew she was messing with you and she just wanted you to open up, but you couldn't stop the eyeroll from her words.

"Oh of course mom, I'll just turn these feelings off," your words dripping with sarcasm.

"Dear I know what this is about and I'm sorry things turned out this way. I can't change Eijiro's mind or Bakugou's but I can be here for you. You know that."

Some part of you still didn't want to admit what happened between the two of you. Because if it stayed within that small group of people maybe you could pretend like it didn't happen at all.

"How do you know what this is about?" you looked off to the side, not wanting to solidify her speculations.

"Honey, I'm not stupid. I saw the two of you on the beach that night you kids went to that party. Not to mention I saw him leaving your room the next day." Her voice turning to that of a disapproving parent. Your face instantly turned red. So, he wasn't lying about that. "I was going to scold you about that, but I never got around to it and then well this happened, and I would just feel bad for lecturing you about it now."

You put your head on the table, your mom knew more than she let on.

"Oh, don't be so down. You're young and I know things may seem like the worlds ending but it's not. You'll find a boy who will cherish and love you so don't waste time worrying about it."

Lifting your head up just enough to lock eyes with her you groaned before speaking. "We really don't have to talk about this. I'm not worried about any of that. I just-" you didn't know how to finish your sentence. Because all you had been doing was trying to shove your feelings away, smother them to where they would hopefully fade out.

"Listen to me. Don't hide your feelings. Let yourself go through them. We're meant to feel things. And things will get better." She gave you a small smile.

"Who's hiding feelings?" the familiar voice of your grandma caused you to turn in her direction.

"Grandma!" you jumped up running to give her a hug. You'd missed her, the crazy old woman who never held anything back. She loved you all with her whole heart, but had no problem telling you the absolute truth. No matter how brutal.
