Bakugou X Kirishima's sister (Reader)

Chapter 36

Hello again! I've had a lot of fun reading your comments as you progress through the story. In preparation for my next fic, I was wondering how you liked the chapter lengths? Should they be longer? Let me know 😊

*Your POV*

The sun beamed down, warming up your skin as you lay in the grass of your backyard. You had woken up exceptionally early today. More like you couldn't sleep at all last night and instead of trying to get an extra few hours of sleep you decided to spend time outside with Sora. She trotted around the yard for a while before she found herself next to you, laying on the blanket you had put out.

The sliding glass door opened and suddenly the sun was gone and a shadow covered you. Your brother's face looking down at you.

"What are you doing out here so early?" He questioned, he seemed genuinely surprised that you were even up right now.

"I couldn't sleep so I decided to just get up." Your voice sounded flat even to you.

He sighed moving to take a seat next to you, Sora laying between you both. Things weren't back to normal for you two by a long shot but at least you were on speaking terms again.

"Can I ask you something?" Your brothers voice filling the silence that had settled between you.

"Go for it," your eyes still staring up at the sky, watching the clouds as they slowly moved against the blue atmosphere.

"Are they real? Your feelings for Bakugou are they real?" You turned your head, perplexed by his question. He saw your confused expression before he continued, "It's just you got this thing going with Hoshi, so I was wondering if it was real, or if you were just doing that thing were you're infatuated with someone and then you move on."

You couldn't be mad at him for asking, you did have a tendency to do that. But it irked you that he thought you would try to ruin their friendship for something that wasn't real.

"E, as of right now, everything with Hoshi is for work. I mean he's a great distraction from everything but I don't feel anything for him romantically." You paused a moment, taking in what you just said. "As for Bakugou, yeah, of course it was real. It still is real. He made me happy, E. He's nothing like anybody I've ever met before." Your voice drifted off as you felt tears building up again. You took a deep breath, you didn't want to cry anymore.

He got up then, "I'll be right back." He walked back towards the house, pulling his phone out as he opened the sliding glass door.

You stared up at the clouds a few moments longer trying to put all these feelings into the back of your mind. Feeling a bit more calm you took out your own phone, texting Jirou to let her know about tonight and that you got her the autograph she wanted.

*Bakugou's POV*

He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose as he hung up the phone. That wasn't the conversation he was expecting. He couldn't use Kiri as an excuse anymore. Thinking back to the summer, when Kiri had asked him to stay way from his sister, he didn't think he needed his permission to date her. If Kirishima didn't like that, he was sure he would get over it one day. But now, after that phone call, Kiri's approval was no longer an issue.

He missed her, that was obvious, even he couldn't deny that fact, no matter how much he wanted to. She had somehow managed to worm her way into his heart. He wasn't truly aware of how much she actually meant to him until he let her go. He could always blame Kiri for it but he knew deep down that it was his insecurities that got the better of him.

Even now as he thought of how he so badly wanted her back in his arms, how he missed the soft touch of her hand against his harsh and rough one. He even missed the sweet scent of her whenever she was close. But there was always that nagging voice in the back of his head that told him he wasn't good enough. Told him he had already ruined things beyond repair. It was the same voice that told him he wasn't good enough to be the number 1 hero. The same voice that pushed him to let her go to reach his dreams.
