Fateful Encounters (KiriMono)

Chapter 5

Monoma's POV
It was a day after the 'incident' with my parents. I was now staying with the Bakugous until school starts back up again. Eijirou went out to the store and Bakugou's parents were at work. So it was just me and the angry Pomeranian. I was still confused as to why he helped me despite what I've said even if Eiji told me he wouldn't turn down a damsel in distress this serious.. I couldn't hold it in anymore
Me: Bakugou..
The angry blonde looked at me with his usual annoyed look
Bakugou: what?
He asked
Me: um... w-why did you.. why did you help me? When Eiji brought me here..?
He squinted his eyes and furrowed his eyebrows in confusion
Bakugou: just because I hate your ass doesn't mean I won't help you
I scoffed
Me: yeah I know that. But... what's the truth behind your actions..? It can't be just because you're a hero in training, it doesn't feel true.
He groaned then looked away for a few seconds before looking back at me
Bakugou: because I was like you.. not abused, of course, but... I've had all the surgeries done and taking the weekly shots so.. I was like you.
I let that sink in for a moment before it clicked.. he was trans
Me: oh.. OH! Oh my god!
He laughed a bit at my reaction
Bakugou: 'oh my god' indeed
I was shocked by this. I started to laugh a bit at this until I felt a sudden strike of pain on my ribs. I hissed in pain as I grabbed the left side of my ribs with my right hand. Bakugou obviously noticed because he came up to me and put his hands on my shoulders
Bakugou: Monoma, how long have you been binding?
I grunted
Me: since this morning..
I hissed again
Bakugou: that was almost 11 hours ago, dumbass! Go up into the bathroom and take it off. Go.
I quickly jogged up the stairs and into the bathroom then took off my shirt then tried to take off my binder but struggled a lot. It was starting to worsen to a point I felt dizzy.. screw this.
Me: Bakugou...!
I weakly yelled out. But he still heard me because he came running. He saw I was ready to faint and quickly got to work on helping me get the binder off. Once it was done I felt a rush of air fill my lungs. I gasped for it, desperate to breathe. Once it was done and I was breathing normally I noticed that Bakugou had given me one of his old sports bras so I could feel less dysphoric and then put my shirt back on in the time I was trying to breathe again..
Me: th.. thank you..
He nodded his head with a rare smile. He helped me back down the stairs and onto the couch. It wasn't long until Eijirou walked through the door and noticed my exhausted state
Eiji: something happen?
Bakugou nodded
Me: I forgot about my binder.. I had it on for almost 11 hours so I nearly passed out
Eiji facepalmed
Eiji: dammit, Neito!
I laughed a bit
Me: I'm sorryyyyyyyyy
He chuckled at me trying to sound childish with my apology. He came up to the couch and hugged me from behind it. I blushed as red as his hair but he didn't seem to notice his unconscious action. He kissed my cheek then walked into the kitchen. I swear I went a brighter red to a point his hair would be jealous. I looked behind me and saw that his face was also red so he must've noticed.. don't panic, Neito.. don't. Panic.

Kirishima's POV
WHAT DID I JUST DO?! WHY DID I DO THAT?! WHAT THE FUCK?!
Bakugou: can you stop yelling in your head? Giving me a headache just watching you..
I looked at him, confused
Me: how did you-
He cut me off
Bakugou: your face said it all.
I looked away embarrassed
Me: let's be honest though.. that was super random.
He nodded in agreement. I brought my voice down to a whisper
Me: why did I do that though?!
He whispered back
Bakugou: you obviously like him 😏
I went wide-eyed
Me: w-what? N-no!
He gave me 'seriously?' Look
Me: how would you know? Or how would I know?
He stopped what he was doing on his phone and put it down. NOW it's serious. He looks at me
Bakugou: answer these questions honestly. Do you smile everytime you talk to him face to face or over the phone or text?
I nod
Bakugou: do you listen to him talk about things he's passionate about and think to yourself 'damn, he's awesome'?
I nod again
Bakugou: does your heart beat faster whenever he's around or whenever you think about him?
I nodded again slowly as it started to make sense
Bakugou: last question.. do you get butterflies in your stomach whenever you imagine you two being together but not in the way that you thought you was thinking?
I looked down again and thought about that. But instead I didn't realise I was imagining is as best friends in battle.. I was imagining us being in a relationship. Being together and not giving a single flying fuck what people have to say about it. And it did, indeed, send butterflies in my stomach. So I nodded yet again at his question. He smiled at me
Bakugou: oh sweet innocent Shitty Hair... you don't just like him. You're in love with him
I looked back up at him with shock clear in my eyes. I then looked over at Monoma who looks to have fallen asleep on the couch. I slowly walked up to the couch then kneeled down in front of him. His face was scrunched up and tears were threatening to fall so it was clear he was having a nightmare. I sat down and brought a hand up and started to stroke his hair, like I did yesterday, with my fingers between strands and my nails gently stroking his scalp so that he could relax. He soon did and smiled as I did this
Me: it makes sense..
Bakugou came up not long after I did
Bakugou: of course it does the way you panicked and did what you're doing now when you brought him injured, I figured it out right then and there that you was in love with the guy.
I nodded in agreement. I then smiled since I finally knew what the feelings were now. But then my smile faltered as I started to wonder if he liked me back
Bakugou: try not to overthink it. Just enjoy your time with him then confess to him when you feel it's the best time to. Okay?
I nod them smiled again
Me: thanks, Bakubro..
He nodded at me with a smile then turned the TV on but at low volume so that we could watch something until his parents got home.

Monoma's POV
I kept my eyes closed.. I woke up after Eiji started to stroke my hair. I was about to fall back to sleep but then their conversation piqued my interested
Eiji: it makes sense..
Bakugou: of course it does the way you panicked and did what you're doing now when you brought him injured, I figured it out right then and there that you was in love with the guy.
Is.. is he talking about me?
Bakugou: try not to overthink it. Just enjoy your time with him then confess to him when you feel it's the best time to. Okay?
Now it makes sense why I've been feeling this way.. because I'm in love with him
Eiji: thanks, Bakubro..
If only you knew.. but for now.. I'll wait for the right time, if you don't confess before me that is. Thank you for sticking by me

A/N
Struggled with ideas but then CertifedTrashPanda  gave me the trans Bakugou idea so I finally got something down. Hope it looks good!
