8- Flashback

New message from 'Racoon Eyes'
[Bakugou..please come out of your room today, we heard the news. We're all really worried about you. I hope you feel better soon.]

[Fuck off]

I turn off my phone and throw it across the room.

I hate myself.

Tomorrow is my last day with Eijiro. No one's allowed to visit him today so he has some time to prepare.

What will I say? It's only a day. A day left.

I can't get mad at him. This is my last chance.

Last time I saw him he was wrapped in bandages, still trying to maintain the bleeding of cuts surrounding his body from self harm.

I didn't know he was even dealing with self harm. But I guess I didn't tell him I was either.

~ (flashback)

I launch myself upwards, breathing heavily, sweat running down my forehead.

This had been about the 6th time that month I've been jump scared out of a nightmare.

They made me feel fearful to the point where I have to sit up in bed and take slow deep breaths in order to calm myself. I take a tense look around my room and cramp myself tight against the wall.

I reach my hand to my phone and open it steadily.

[Fine, the doors unlocked]

I hear a knock at the door before it opens with a creak, displaying Eijiro's cheery face as he strolls into my room. He crawls into my bed and under the covers to sit next to me.

"Hey..."

"Hey," he replies, as we're talking he manages to shift closer to me that way our shoulders are touching.

I rest my hand on his leg and stare into his eyes. I could do this forever.

If only I could do this forever...

"So, what's keeping you up tonight?" I ask and there's an overlapping silence.

"...I was just thinking, you know?"

"About what?"

"Your answer to my question..."

"Huh? Eijiro what are you talking about?"

"...Eijiro?" He repeats.

"...is that..ok?" I ask.

"Yeah. It's nice." He starts, "That night, when you I asked what you think death feels like, when we were star gazing." He explains, "you said that it doesn't matter, you don't care because your not going anywhere anytime soon. You told me that i would outlive 'a lot of us'."

"Yeah...did I say something wrong?"

"No. Not at all. I'm just...happy you think that," he exclaims, wrapping his arms around me and embracing me in a hug.

"I just want you to know that if I ever leave, I hope you'll be ok."

"Of course I'll be ok because your not going anywhere," I state.

"Yeah. Thanks bakugou."

"For what?"

"For being my friend."
