The Open Relationship

Chapter 17-

Chapter 17 – what would you have wanted?

It wasn't long until January hit and Jiro finally found the courage to head back to work but not for a good reason. She took a deep breath whilst she walked through the building holding all types of paperwork. The moment she walked through the door Kirishima ran over to her giving the purple-haired mother a hug giving his sympathies which made Jiro appreciate. She looked around the building and wanted to know where Bakugo was but Kirishima said he was in a bad place. "ever since Christmas he blamed himself for everything, it's like seeing fifteen-year-old him again" he said and Jiro got sad from the redheads answer.

"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK JUST SEND THE FUCKING PAPERWORK OVER!" the two heard his shouts from his office which worried the two but Jiro walked towards his office so she could knock on the door. Instantly she saw Katsuki turn around with his phone resting between his ear and shoulder, he looked at the guitarist and then turned back around. Kyouka rolled her eyes and decided to open the door so that she could walk into his office. "SEND IT FROM A LETTER, EMAIL, FAX IT I DON'T CARE JUST FUCKING GIVE IT TO ME TO PRINT AND FILL OUT. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO WORK IF I DON'T HAVE THE FUCKING WORK" he shouted making her jump and slightly scared of his rage forgetting how angry he could get. "IM TRYING TO GET A BAND A LABEL RIGHT NOW I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS SHIT, JUST DO IT!" his shouting got louder until he hung up the phone. "DAMMIT!" he added slamming his phone on the desk which made her jump slightly.

"Everything okay?" she asked but the angry blonde just ignored her. "Bakugo I wanted to talk to you about something"

"what Jiro, I'm really busy right now!" he snapped which got her slightly angry. "what!"

"Oh forget it!" She yelled back and stormed out of the office which irritated Bakugo a lot but he chose to ignore it and let her cool down so that he could do the same from his idiotic business call.

Down in the studio, Kyoka was playing around with the instruments singing the song she wrote at school and remembering performing it but decided to use the piano to sing it slightly more like a ballad in a way. "hero too, I am a hero too" she slowly sung before starting to cry as she didn't feel like a hero to anyone around her, she felt like a failure of a mother, she felt like she ruined everyone's Christmas, everything around her was crumbling and she blamed herself for it.

A small teardrop fell from her eye as it hit the keys, more tears followed after. "what's up earphones?" the single mother jumped at the sound of Bakugo's voice which made him chuckle in a way. "sorry I didn't mean to scare you" he laughed but all Jiro could do was stare at him sternly. "is there anything I can do? sorry for shouting back there I was just stressed" he mentioned but all Jiro could do was shrug at his questions.

"I just feel like a failure Bakugo" she cried which made Katsuki feel bad. The ash-blonde pulled Jiro in a side hug, taking a deep breath until she would calm down. "I feel like I can't function"

"I get what you mean, I feel the same too and I know it's about Shei, please Jiro don't blame yourself over it, it's my fault okay. I know it's hard, I feel like the universe just opened up a black hole to suck my soul away because I couldn't do better, I couldn't save you in the right way and the way I did save you, we lost our son and I feel horrible about that, and I don't blame you hating me" Bakugo explained which made the single mother smile but cry even more. "you know I talk to him every day"

"you do?"

"yeah! He sits by my armchair on that little table remember?" he said which made Jiro giggle "yeah we watch television every time before I come here to work and before I get to bed. I always make sure that I say goodnight to him as if he is there" Bakugo's voice sounded sad but he wouldn't cry, not in front of Jiro because he knew it would make her cry and he couldn't stand looking at Jiro crying.
