KIRISHIMA'S POV

"I really thought she's your girlfriend or something! She looks so young!" Bakugo said in disbelief after sipping his mug of hot milk. I chuckled out of amusement from seeing his reactions.

"I told you for the nth time, she's really is my mom." I clarified.

"I know, it's just-- it's too unbelievable." He replied, sipping his mug once more afterwards. I nodded in agreement and comfortable silence came after.

The two of us are currently sitting on the stairs connected to the platform of the front door while Bakugo is drinking hot milk. He always does that to fall asleep easily.

"Hey, Kirishima." He suddenly called, grabbing my attention with confusion in my face.

"O-Oh wow, you suddenly remembered my name, didn't you?" I teased, chuckling a bit but the boy looked serious that made me gulp nervously.

"O-Oh, uhh-- w-what's the matter bro?" I asked nervously.

"...am I insensitive?" he asked randomly. I gave him a confused look but deep inside I already suspected what he meant that I started to panic inside my head.

...I hope that I'm only overthinking.

"Ah-- uhhh-- wait w-what do you mean?" I asked.

"Am I missing something?" He replied. I gave him a look of confusion and chuckled nervously.

"C-Can you be specific? Haha. I don't get your point--"

"Do you like me, Kiri?" he asked swiftly. I widened my eyes in surprise and my mind stopped functioning.

"W-W-What? Uhh B-Bakugo, w-what made you to ask me that?" I replied only to say something after my brain malfunctioned.

"W-Well, someone told me that I'm not looking around myself because I'm so focused on Deku so I realized that I might've hurted people-- b-because of that." He answered nervously. "...I-I'm only assuming, alright? These past few days, I know I kinda ignored people that cared about me and was blinded because of love but I needed confirmation. Kirishima, I'm not dumb." He added, intense nervousness overwhelming my body and heavy pounding on my chest.

S-Someone? W-Who's someone? Is it Sero or Kaminari? I knew it! I literally told myself to not tell anyone about my feelings to avoid incidents like this and thinking I'll easily move on from him.

...f-fvck, w-what should I do!?

"Kiri, do you like me?" He asked again straightforwardly. A lump in my throat appeared like it's stopping myself from speaking.

I want to confess already but I'm scared. I'm alright with him being my best friend anyway and I don't want to ruin it.

...it's so much worse if we never talk to each other anymore.

"I-uhh. I-I-- y-you know I--Uhh--" I muttered, debating myself if I'll tell him or not. I started to struggle breathing from the intense beating of my chest.

I don't know what to do anymore as I froze on the spot.

"...B-B-Bakubro, I-- I--"

"Kiri, it's ok. I-I'm sorry for p-pressuring you." He gently interrupted, grabbing both of my shoulders as I blush.

"...but thank you. I never thanked you for everything you've done for me before. You are the only one who dares to befriend and trust me and I appreciate that." He added, looking very genuinely and something I've never seen from him before.

S-Shit, w-why are you acting like that right now!?

I blushed and fortunately, it's dark.
