Bakugou just hung up. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. I'm gonna die. I took off my headset and stood up from my chair, pacing around my room. I can't help but think about everything that's happening and what could go wrong.

He thinks I like y/n. Y/n. That's worse than him knowing it's him I like, right? Unless it's not. But then he wouldn't wanna kill me. Hopefully. Ah I can't focus. I should just tell him. But when? How?

God I should've just hung up that day. If I could go back, I wouldn't even have called him. My mind wanders back to the call again, the words playing over and over in my head.

"What're you doing?"

"Y/n"

I cringe slightly at the thought. The fact that we know they've done those things, multiple times. The fact that I know. The fact that I know it won't ever be me he's interested in like that. The fact that-

*ring ring* *ring ring*

My phone ringing snaps me out of overthinking. I look over to see it's Mina. Perfect timing. I reach over and grab the phone, answering the call.

"Hey Mina."

"Hey is everything alright? I have a weird feeling and I thought you'd be in trouble or something."

"Actually.. I could use someone to talk to right now."

"Of course. Are you in your dorm?"

"Yea"

"I'll be over in like two seconds."

"What-?" -beep- She hung up. I thought she was at her parents this weekend? I few seconds later I hear a knock at the door. Damn. Her room is across the building so how did she get here this fast?

I stand and open the door only to be met with Mina holding chips, a pillow, a blanket and headbands, face cream and nail polish. Spa day I guess. I step to the side as she comes in, laying the stuff on my bed.

"Hey.. how did you get here so fast, especially with all of that."

"Magic." She waved her hands by my face while smiling. I smile lightly with her.

"So. Sit down and talk while I take care of your oily face."

I sit down in my chair by my desk as she slides a headband on to keep my hair out of my face. She grabs the face wash mask thing and a brush, gently spreading it over my face while I talk.

"So I told you about how Bakugou was still on the phone that day and heard me talking to myself." She hums in response, letting me know she's listening.

"Well today, me, Sero, Denki, and bakugou were all in a discord vc about to play a game when he said he needed to use the bathroom and left the call."

"Yea.."

"Well this is the crazy part, he texted me like a second later and told me to join his private call." She gasps slightly.

"No way what did he talk about?"

"He asked me about the call! He was like "what did you say at the end of the call that day" I freaked out! I was like "I said bye?""

"AND GUESS WHAT HE SAID?!"

"What?!"

"He said 'don't play dumb with me Eijiro" She gasped again.

"No way you're first name?! Omg what did you do?"

"I said I had no idea what he was talking about! Then he said 'listen I'm not stupid' but he got cut off by something. I think y/n woke up and can over there because after that his tone was normal and he didn't even wait for me to say bye back before he hung up."

"Do you know what he was talking about?"

"Yea I think he thinks I like y/n! Which is so ungood for me. I'm thinking of just telling him that it's him I like, or maybe telling the other guys while he's there that I'm bi, leaning towards men more. But how? And when?" I just stayed silent for a bit while she finished putting the mask on. Yea

"Well it's whatever you wanna do, E. If you wanna tell them in hopes of it sorting things out then do that!"

"Alright, I think I will after all this." I put a chip in my mouth while adjusting the head band. Mina was messing with my hair while I was eating.

"Hey E?"

"Yea?"

"Do you have bleach and red dye? You're roots are starting to show."

"Yea, can you help me dye it tomorrow?"

"Of course."

Kirishima texted the group chat that he needed to talk about something, asking if we could call later. I wonder what he's gonna talk about. He seemed serious.

Now, 15 minutes later, we're all in a call. Y/n is taking a shower so I don't have to worry about her hearing anything, she takes forever. Kirishima starts speaking, his voice is kinda shaky.

"So there's something I've been meaning to tell you guys.. so.. ok.." he exhaled, trying to calm his nerves.

"I'm bi.. but I lean towards men. I can't remember the last time I developed a crush on an attractive woman to be honest..." The call was silent. No one really spoke. I decided to break the awkwardness and say something.

"Cool man, thanks for saying something. I know it takes a lot of courage to tell people that."

"Yea... I thought it was time I told you guys.."

Wait, he can't remember the last time he had a crush on a girl? Then on the call that day.. what did he mean..? No way he meant...me? Maybe he's lying cause I'm here.

"Hey Kirishima, hop into a private call. There's something I need to ask you about."
