Shifting

Chapter 6

Kirishima's POV

I'm in my 3rd year at UA. I hate it. I can't take anymore. I hate it here. I figured out Bakugou was my soulmate pretty fast. At least he was one of them. Now he's the only one. My other soulmate shifted when we were 13. I remember feeling a little sting in my arm, so I look down and see one of my marks vanish. I know they didn't die because if they died the mark would fade slowly, but it was quick if I hadn't looked down at that moment, I wouldn't have seen it.

When I walked into class that very first day of UA, I felt it. Bakugou was my other one. He didn't sense it though. He absolutely hated me. I wonder if he knew our other soulmate. But I can't ever start a conversation with him. He always ignores me or gets violent. I hate him. But yet I still have a crush on him. I think it's because I know he can be a good person. And the soulmate thing is influencing it a little bit. I really want my other soulmate but he is in the other realm... I have thought of shifting so many times but I've always convinced myself not to.

But I think I'm going to go through with it. My parents hate me. When I finally build up the courage to tell them I was gay, they hated me and that fact. It is awful. They treat me so bad. I was happy when we were told we were moving to the dorms. It meant I could finally get away from them. I thought it also meant I would finally be able to talk with Bakugou. But I was wrong. He never talked. He always stayed in his room and ignored everyone and everything.

I've never been able to make friends. They always said I was 'too much' or to 'tone it down' or ' I'm not friends with gay people'. It is the worst. I have nothing here. I used to be so happy. I loved my life before I told my parents I was gay, before I met Bakugou, before everything. When I was little and nothing mattered. I had no responsibilities, worries, or expectations. It was just me and my family. Everyone was so happy. I loved it. But that's gone now.

I'm currently lying in my bed at the dorms. Today is Thursday. It is currently 10:00pm I know I should be sleeping but I just can't sleep. All I can think about is my soulmate. I've only used the ability once. When we were 15. I saw him sparing on a deck of a ship. I watched them fight. He won. It was the first time I had laughed in a long time. I watched him pull up the man.

~flashback~

"Good spare son. Your getting better. But you won't beat me next time. This was a lucky win."

" No dad, you just don't want to admit you lost to your 15 year old omegan son fair and square! Haha"

"... I don't want to admit your right... but you are right izuku."

"Ha!" After that I stopped and went to sleep.

~present time~

I think that was the last time I had laughed. That was 1 year ago. It sucks, really. I think I'm going to do it again. I close my eyes and focus.

I see him looking up, he's climbing something. When he got to the top he changed positions and I saw him looking out over the sea. I see him turn his head and saw land getting farther and farther away. It is beautiful. I then hear him say something.

"Ok crew! Line up!" He climbed down halfway then jumped the rest of the way.

"Here's the deal! You all did great with our last looting. There was enough money for the town to buy the food they needed!", cheers erupted from the crew, "Now we have another request. This town has a boy with an extreme sickness and they don't have the money to save him. We are going to help them! We've helped this village before and they always have loved us! They've helped us when we needed to dock from a storm and when we need food. We always go there. So we are going to return the favor! Am I clear?!"

"AI AI CAPTAIN!" Then they all disperse to do there different jobs. I stopped watching.

I've made up my mind. I'm going to shift. I get down on my knees to pray but I feel like I need to tell Bakugou. To at least let him know. I get up and grab my phone. I open his contact, which I got from Mina, and write this.

Bakugou, I need to tell you this before I shift... Ever since our first day at UA, I have had a crush on you... I am one of your soulmates. I wanted to let you know. I am shifting. I have tried tirelessly to get to talk to you and spend time with you. I don't hate you. In fact it's the opposite... I just can't take it anymore. I'm sorry. Goodbye...

I read over it and press send. After I did that. I send a text to aizawa saying I'm leaving.

I put my phone down and get on my knees...

"Goddess, please. Let me shift over. I can't take it here. I know my other soulmate is in the other realm. I know what I'm asking if you", I hear a banging on the door and hear Mr. Aizawa screaming at me but I don't care, "Plead let me leave this place. I hate it here. I want to leave all of it behind. I can't take it. I want to leave. Please let me shift." I open my eyes to see a portal begin to open. As I'm watching it open. I hear my door slam open. I see Mr. Aizawa and Bakugou run in.

"Kirishima please! Don't do this! Are you crazy! You have so much here don't leave!" Aizawa yells. I look away from them. I watch the portal get bigger. As I stand up to walk through, I feel someone grab my arm. I turn around to see Bakugou desperately holding onto me.

"Please! Don't leave! I can't lose my other one! I can't lose you!"

"You didn't care about me when you didn't know!"

"I did care!!! I pushed everyone away so I wouldn't do what I did to our other soulmate again!"

"Well you did!" I jerk my arm out of his grip and step through. I'm free. Finally free...
