The Truth(KiriDeku)

Chapter 6: The Truth

~~TRIGGER WARNING! SKIP THIS CHAPTER IF YOU ARE EASILY TRIGGERED~~

~~Izuku's POV~~

I woke up a bit early in the morning, around 4:28 am I think. If I can remember clearly, I had a nightmare about Kacchan being his usual mean self. I sat up and looked around a bit. I noticed that someone had laid me down on a pillow and put a blanket over me. I looked down to see Kirishima on the floor next to the couch sitting up. Because I was thirsty I got up quietly and put the blanket over the Ruby eyed boy. I walked to the kitchen slowly and saw Kacchan looking through the fridge.

"Hm? Oh, hey nerd. What's up?" he turned toward me, still holding the fridge door open a bit.

"O-Oh, nothing...heh. Just came to grab a drink." I felt a bit awkward knowing that I had just had a dream about the blond next to me, but I quickly slipped passed him and grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. As I stood up I felt Kacchan grab my chin.

"I know there's more too it than that, your eyes are all puffy and red like you were crying. Don't lie to me and tell me what really happened..."

Kacchan was giving me that stern look he makes when he's serious. It made me a bit uncomfortable...and when was I crying? Maybe It was because of the dream.

"Well, I had another dream again. About, ya know...the past..." My face was turned toward him but I looked in a different different direction to avoid eye contact. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes lightly, telling me to let my friend know what was wrong and let my emotions poor out. The tears started to drip down my cheeks slowly.

"I-I'm sorry...I want to forget, its jus-" Kacchan cut me off and gave me a hug, squeezing me tightly and rubbing my head a bit as he spoke.

"I know, its hard to forget everything I did to you in the past. I was a stupid kid back then, and I see that now...I regret everything I promise..." he hugged me tighter and I hugged him back, feeling at home for once in his grasp. Tears ran down my face and I started to sob. I knew it was hard for Kacchan to live with all those things he said to me, but he knows he was wrong. That was all that mattered.

I smiled into his shirt as I felt his tears landing on my neck. "I feel better now...t-thanks, Kacchan." he nodded, his grip loosening until he let go of me completely.

"Good, now go lay back down ya nerd" kacchan's voice was no longer stern, and he was chuckling as he spoke. I nodded and rubbed my eyes as I walked back over to the couch and set my drink on the table.

~~Time skip to the next morning~~

~~Kirishima's POV~~

I woke up to almost everyone chatting, the blanket I put over Izuku now over me. I guessed he had put in on me when he woke up. I looked around after blinking my eyes open, his forest green hair catching my attention. He was smiling as he spoke with a few of our classmates, but as I stared, yesterdays events came rushing back. That's a fake smile...I can tell. And he's got bags under his eyes...

"Kirishima-kun?"  his sweet, innocent voice brought me back to reality.

"H-hm...? Oh, morning zuzu!" Izuku almost immediately turned bright red as I spoke. Did I say something wrong?

"uwaaaAAAHH? Ki-Kirishima-kun! Whos z-zuzu?!" he shook my shoulders, his face red and eyebrows furrowed.

I chuckled a bit at his reaction to the nickname. "Well, you did say I could call you Izuku, so I shortened it a bit. I mean, If that's okay with you...?" I looked at the palm of my hand for a moment, half finding it funny how he seemed jealous of any other person I might have been with, have feeling bad for giving him a nickname other that 'Midobro'. Wait...jealous? He's jealous...?
