KiriBaku | Just Another Camp

Chapter 6

Kirishima

"Bakugo, open the door!" I said, pounding my fist against the wooden door and trying the locked doorknob again for the 50th time.

What was up with him today? He didn't eat breakfast and when I was trying to bring him over to eat he ran away! Also, why was he just staring at the wall earlier? Was something wrong?

"Bakugo..." I pleaded, laying my forehead against the cool wood. "Please, just open the door..."

Once again, he didn't respond. I could only imagine him sitting on the toilet staring blankly at the door as I knocked on it.

"At least tell me what's wrong?" I asked. "You don't have to come out."

Nothing. Was he dead?

"I'm gonna go get the coaches-" I started, backing away from the door.

"Don't f****** get the coaches," I heard him say, but his voice seemed shaky, just like last night.

Was that what this was about?

"Then tell me what's going on," I said. "Or at least open the da** door."

"Just leave me the f*** alone," he said. 

"Not until you do one of the two options."

"And why the f*** do you even care? From what I heard you think I'm annoying as sh**, you don't have to f****** stand here and pretend you care about me."

A heavy feeling pressed down on my chest. I should've never told Sero about anything, because over the course of a couple of hours, Bakugo had changed drastically. He went from being some annoying, stuck up kid to a broken down, wavering blond boy. 

I didn't know someone could flip their personality inside out and upside down in nearly an instant.

"Okay, maybe I told that to Sero, but I don't think that anymore! I'm worried about you, Bakugo! You were staring at a wall for some time, you didn't eat, and now you're locking yourself up in a bathroom! You're my cabin mate, I think I should at least be a bit worried about you."

There was silence again. I waited a good 10 seconds before I spoke again. 

"Is it because of what happened last night-?"

"It's not because of last night, don't f****** bring that sh** up again," he said.

Another long period of silence. I finally decided to speak again.

"If you want to talk, I'm here for you," I said. "Or if you want a hug or something, I can give you one!"

"I don't need your f****** sympathy," he said. "Just give me some f****** time to myself, Kirishima."

Butterflies swarmed in my stomach and I blushed madly. "O-okay..."

I stepped away from the door, then I ran out of my cabin and back to the pavilion. Why was he using my name all of a sudden? Did he know I got super embarrassed by it? Or did he just want to use it now? Whatever the reason, I didn't care that much. I loved it when he said my name.

The day flew by quicker than I expected. We did joint training for most of the day, then we split up to play a couple games of our sport. My eye was on Bakugo for most of the day, though. He still seemed pale, but he did the exercises pretty easily and was acting pretty much like his normal self again. I knew that he was because I could hear him screaming from across the field.

We stopped for lunch, and I noticed that Bakugo had gotten food, but he wasn't exactly eating it. I wanted to go over there but at the same time, I didn't want to cause another scene like earlier. And, he was surrounded by his teammates. Those dudes were kinda intimidating.
