Kaminari sighed as he pressed the napkin against his nose. "My Mom's gonna freak out." He mumbled. Bakugou had just left the studio, leaving an embarrassed Kyoka, a pissed Tokoyami, a dazed Kaminari, and a heartbroken Kirishima. 

"I messed up." He sighed, resting his head in his hands. Kyoka sat down next to him and hugged him. "It's alri-" "I lied. To everyone." He interrupted. "Well, come clean." Tokoyami mumbled. 

"Tokoyami!" Kyoka snapped. "No, I should." Kirishima mumbled, gathering to his feet. "Kyoka, Tokoyami, and Kaminari." He looked them each in their eyes as he said their names. 

Kaminari gulped as he looked into his. He still didn't like making eye contact. "I'm dating someone." He mumbled. It then occurred to Kyoka why Bakugou was upset, and why he'd gotten angry at her. But she needed to keep those thoughts to herself. 

"Her name's Mina Ashido."

Kyoka and Kaminari walked home, exchanging a few words after that day's ordeal. "How's your nose?" Kyoka questioned. "It's been better." He sighed. A light snow began to fall upon the two. "Ugh, Boo. I need to go to the store and they'll probably close if this gets any worse." She grumbled. 

"Maybe we could wait it out at my place? I've got some old movies we could watch." He mumbled. "Oh.." Kyoka thought for a moment. She knew that waiting the snow out wouldn't do anything. But then again…

"Sure, I guess."

Kyoka laid on her bed, staring at the ceiling. 

"How can I love someone if I don't love myself?" She questioned. She held her hand up and stared at it. "5 fingers. 5 knuckles. 5 nails." She clenched her fist. "I'm worth something." She muttered. 

She shut her eyes tightly. "But, I don't know if he thinks I am." She whispered. She looked over at the daffodils. 

"If I disappeared, I'd be happier." She sighed. "Maybe, on another planet, I'm happier and less depressing."  She muttered. 

"I just want everyone to be okay." She mumbled. Tears welled up in her eyes and she went back to staring at the ceiling. She bit her lip to stop herself from crying, but to no avail. 

She burst into tears. The only sound being her loud sobs and gasps for breath. That was how most days ended, with her crying to sleep without reason. 

Her sobs were interrupted by the doorbell. "Mom." She muttered. She rubbed her eyes and trudged downstairs, not bothering to wash her face to make it look like she hadn't cried. 

As She reached for the door handle, it occurred to her. 

Her mother would've had the key. 

Not thinking, She opened the door to reveal Tokoyami and Kaminari. Great. Out of all the people, it had to be them. "Hey! Kyo-Chan, we just stopped by to…" Kaminari stopped mid sentence once He examined her face. 

He and Tokoyami shared a concerned look before stepping inside. "What's up?" She questioned, acting like she hadn't cried her eyes out seconds ago. 

"Kyoka…" Tokoyami mumbled, resting a hand on her shoulder. "You guys are acting really weird!" She laughed. Tokoyami pulled her into a hug. "Don't hide your emotions." He mumbled. 

Kaminari gulped and looked down at the floor. He felt as if he didn't deserve to hug her. Tears welled up in Kyoka's eyes as She gripped the noirette's sweater.

"I'm sorry."
