»————> 𝖸𝗈𝗎 pursed your lips in a thin line, contemplating. You weren't the best when it came to talking about feelings. You often didn't even have the right vocabulary and words to describe the vortex fogging your mind.

Your sentences almost always ended or started with 'its dumb, really' or 'i don't know'

Your brain was so messy, and even you couldn't seem to organize the thoughts. Although, you were sure of what you were feeling right now, but how exactly would you word it?

All your feelings sounded dumb to you when out in the air, this wasn't any different.

Kirishima patiently waited for you to talk. He knew better than to pressure you, because even he had a rough idea of what consumed your thoughts and sanity.

Instead of pressing you, he sweetly smiled. Spoke with his eyes and assured you, "its alright, take all the time you need. "

You weren't familiar with a kindness like such, but you'd be lying if you said it didn't make your heart flutter.

Taking a deep breath, you attempted to word your worry. "It's um, well you know- since the- uh- since the war.. "

You already loathed yourself for not even being to form a single sentence. God im making such a fool of myself. You thought. But, you shook your head and continued. Better late than never, right?

"I guess it kind of impacted me alot. It still bothers me to this day even though its been a month and i don't know.. I keep hearing the screams and keep seeing all the blood and-"

You realized midway through your rant that you were shaking. Great. You squeezed your eyes shut to drown out the events that started replaying, yet again.

Just then, a big warm hand lay atop your own. Your skin ignited, making you look up. He was still smiling, but it was a different smile.

His eyes weren't warm anymore. They looked like in pain. Latent pain that was hiding away, masked by his cheery demeanor. He understood.

"I know how you feel, L/n. Trust me, i do. "

And then, you broke. You let your facade sink, you let your emotions flood. You shook with raw pain, and the feeling of not being alone.

He understood. He understood.

That fact alone made your eyes pool and flow with tears. He squeezed your hand, fighting back his own.

"I-i was so scared, Kirishima.. " you sobbed, "i was terrified, the villains and-and everyone.. " he rubbed circles with his thumb on your hand, soothing you, letting you know that you were seen and you were heard.

"I was too.. " he spoke in a low tone, "especially when-" he hesitated for a moment, closing his eyes. "When you got hurt. I thought i had lost you, and i didn't know how to live with myself "

Your heart fluttered again, your stomach feeling tingly. You put your head on his shoulder, and put his hand on your chest, right where your heart was.

You didn't say anything. You didn't need to. Kirishima put his other hand on your head, finally letting his tears out. He shook with sobs, running his hand through your hair.

"I never realized how much i cared for you until that moment." He sobbed, "L/n, you have no idea how- how happy i was when you woke up. The relief i had felt, it was like- like 10 dumbells were lifted off my shoulder, i felt so light. "

You laughed a bit at that, smiling into his shirt, which was now damp with tears. You intertwined your hand with his. You had no idea what you were doing, but it felt so right.

You both sobbed in eachothers embrace. The warmth of being there for eachother. Finally letting loose those emotions kept buried for so long. Letting loose to someone who cares and someone who listens.

"Aren't we too young to be this tired? "
You whispered. Kirishima sniffed, retreating his hand from your hair to wipe his tears. The lost of warmth made you sink deeper into him.

He pulled you back. "Look at me, L/n."
And such you did. You looked at him, your eyes and nose puffed up and red.  He cupped your face, smiling at you.

"We may be, " he said, wiping your tears with his thumb. "But all we can do is pull through it. Thats the manly thing to do" he smiled with his eyes, you melting at the mere sight.

"It is. It is the manliest thing to do."
