Trapped in My Head

Chapter 4: Exposed

Kirishima's POV: 

About 2 Hours after Bakugo gets kidnapped on Saturday

--------------------------------------------------

Me and Denki walk up the stairs, side by side. Each of us holding two full plates of chicken nuggets in our hands with ketchup and barbeque sauce bottles in our pockets. We are both trying our hardest not to drop any of the nuggets, but with both of us laughing the entire time it is pretty hard. We get to the last step of the third floor and Denki trips, knocking off all of the nuggets from both plates. I bust up laughing as he begins scrambling to pick up all of them, laughing just as hard as I am.

He manages to pick all of them up and puts them back on the plates and stands up as if nothing happened. He turns to me, filled plates in hand, "Hahhaa, bro I guess these two plates will be Mina and Sero's. Hahahah!" He starts laughing and almost drops them again.

"Hahha alright, but don't tell them. And I am only going along with this because Sero literally did the same thing to me on Wednesday and I have to get him back...and I don't want to have to cook more nuggets." I say back, trying hard to not laugh too much so my nuggets don't fall either.

"Deal. Now come on, they are waiting for us." Denki turns and we head to his room where Mina and Sero are waiting for us.

We reach the room and Denki sets the plates down in front of Sero and Mina. He walks around the bed and joins me on my side where I am sitting with both plates of nuggets in front of me.

"Thanks, guys!" Sero says, his face excited for lunch. Me and Denki both make sure not to laugh to give it away that he is eating floor food.

"Hey, where is Blasty?" Mina says as she starts eating.

"Oh!" My face becomes a little sad, "He has been gone all morning. He must have left while we were sleeping."

I really like Bakugo, like, like like him, but I haven't told anyone. They don't even know I am gay so it is not like I could tell them I like Bakugo. But heck how could I not like Bakugo. I love manly things and nothing is manlier than Bakugo!

"Ehh. you really think he would have eaten lunch with us anyways?" Denki asks and everyone nods in agreement. He is probably right. But lately, he has hung out with us a lot more so who knows.

"So Kiri, you excited about your birthday Monday?" Denki asks as he bites into a nugget.

"Heck yeah! And you guys don't have to get me anything okay! I just want to hang out with you guys all day! Minus during lectures of course." I start laughing, but I get excited at the thought that my birthday is in just two days.

"Bro what?" Sero asks sarcastically, "Of course we are getting you presents. What is a birthday without presents?"

"Yeah! And we are having a meat buffet for dinner!" Denki shouts at me excitedly.

"And we are totally going to play your favorite games when we get back from school and we won't do our homework," Mina adds.

"I second that!" Denki happily says, not wanting to ever do his homework.

A huge smile comes to my face, "Thanks, guys! I am looking forward to it." Denki ruffles my hair and all four of us start eating our nuggets in silence, a non-awkward silence.

"Okay guys," I can feel the mood shift, "I don't know how we haven't talked about this, but who do you think has the hottest parents in the class?" Mina asks us and we all stop eating and look up at her. My heart starts racing. I hate talking about this stuff, I feel like I might expose myself and there is no going back if I do. I don't know how any of them will react if I told them I was gay so talking about this stuff makes me nervous.
