{On Hiatus} Trust (Kirishima x Trans!Male!Reader)

Chapter 7

(So, ummm. I don't really know what to write after that last chapter... so I guess we're going to have a 2 week time skip. Don't question it. THIS CHAPTER STARTS 2 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST ONE.)

I still have that dumb crush on Kiri. Why do I always have to get crushes on my friends? It's not like I can just avoid him, and it's going to be really awkward if I ask him out and he rejects me. I hate it so much. But right now that's not important. Right now I need to tell someone about my past. And the only person I feel comfortable sharing that with, is Kirishima. Present Mic already knows, because he's my therapist, but that's not the point.

I need someone I'm close too to know. But I can't decide if I can even tell him, I don't even know if I can trust him. What if he's just pretending to be my friend like Monama, and using me to make himself look likable? No. No, that's just your trust issues talking, (Y/N).

I text Kiri, asking him to come over so we can talk. I hear the doorbell ring, and I rush downstairs to open the door. Both of my parents are currently at work. "Hi, (L/N)!" he waves.

"Hey, Kiri. I-... I just need to tell someone other than my therapist this. Let's go to my room." We walk up the stairs, and I just realize that this is the first time he's been at my house. His eyes dart to the trans and bi pride flags on the wall. "Sit wherever." He sits next to me on my bed.

"What do you want to talk about?" He asks, confused. I usually don't tell people about my problems, so this is different.

"So, um... You already know that I had a past with Monoma. But there was more to it than just going to the same school. We were 'best friends'." I say with air quotes. "He acted like my friend, but would lie, and change his mind about random things after just a week, he pinned my other friend against me, he-" My voice cuts off.

"Hey, hey. It's okay, you can trust me." There it is. Tears start running down my cheeks.

"I don't know if I can. The 3 people who I trusted most in the world used it to hurt me. Monoma used my trust to gaslight me into staying his friend. My other friend didn't care about my feelings. When I was 8, another friend used that trust to make me comfortable being alone with him. He-he..." My voice cuts off again. "He tricked me. I didn't even know what it was yet."

I can tell that Kiri could understand what I was hinting at. "Screw those guys. Those are bad people. And if you ever need anything, just text, call, or come over to my house."

"It's because of those 3 people that I can't trust anyone anymore. They used my trust to stab me in the back. It hurts so much to not have anyone you can trust. I know whoever I trust will use it to hurt me. It always happens. It's been so long since I've had someone that I definitely trusted. I-I think I've forgotten what it feels like to trust someone."(It feels so good to get my trauma out.)

"Do you trust your parents?"

"I think- maybe."

I can see a worried look on his face. "Do you trust me?" No, no. This is the one question I didn't want to be asked.

I'm silent for a few seconds before speaking softly. "I don't know." I see sadness fill his eyes, guilt overtakes me. "It's-it's not that I don't want to. Believe me, I want to trust you, but I just can't. I know that anyone I trust will use it to hurt me."

He wipes a tear from my face. "I will never hurt you. And that is a promise. It's okay if you don't trust me, I'll still protect you no matter what. You mean the world to me, (L/N)." That was my breaking point. I burst into tears and fell into his arms. He hugs me tightly, and for once in a very long time, I feel safe.

But then he does something I didn't expect at all. He kissed the top of my head. What does this mean? Does he like me? Was it platonic, and he was just trying to comfort me? I decide to just not comment on it, that way things don't become awkward.

"Do you want to talk about something else now?" He pulls away from the embrace and I nod my head.

(So, I know this chapter is short. And it took a long time to write. But I've got a lot of school, and I'm still adjusting to it. So here. Also, I've been thinking of giving another quirk that's similar to the one he already has. Like telekinesis or something like that. Do you think that would be too OP, or would it be cool?)
