Persistent [Krbk]

Mina talk

"Happy birthday Yumi! Blow out your ecandles and make a wish." I say holding the cake up. She closes her eyes for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and blowing. Cheers fill the room as little children gather around to get a slice. One kid with scaly wings attached to his back even gave her a kiss on the cheek. I grabbed his ear, pulling him back with a scowl.

"Katssss! He's a kid let him be." Mina pulling me and the terrified scaley child away from each other. I watched Yumi pout as the 11 year old boy stumbling somewhere else, feeling a tinge of success but sadness too.

"Please daddy? He's my friend!" Yumi began begging, pointing as the boy walked further away down the hall.

"O- Flipping hell. Hey! Dragon boy!!" He kept on walking towards the backyard, increasing my irritation. Instead of yelling I push Yumi towards him, causing them to bump into rather other, and Yumi apologising for my actions.

"She's so cute." Mina says with a cheerful voice next to me. Her normal pink Afro was braided. Last time she came she explained that they were called cornrows, they fitted her well.

"Yeah she is." I say frowning when dragon boy wraps his arm around my daughter's shoulder.

"..Bakugou." She says firmly. I glance at her sudden serious expression.

"What's up with you and kiri?" She murmurs turning to me. Her question catches me off guard. I look at her confused praying that she doesn't see how nervous I really am.

"..Nothing" She looks at me with a blank face almost saying "why are you lying to me". She takes my wrist walking us over to the empty kitchen.

"Nothing? Because when I saw you two talking in the hall you seemed constipated. " I feel my shoulders tense.

"Maybe I am constipated haha"

"Bakugou, It's not funny what's up?" I sigh running a hand through my hair. Slightly frustrated of all the questions I'm being asked.

"Can we maybe..not talk about it here? I don't feel comfortable." She nods understandingly. As we walk upstairs I catch kirishima glancing at us, immediately looking the other way when we make eye contact. What's his problem? We walk down the hall entering my bedroom. After I lock the door I let out a breathe I didn't know I was holding.

"Sit downnn." Mina says patting the empty place beside her. I jump onto my blanket face first, before grabbing a pillow and shouting into it. Mina just rubs my back in a reassuring way. When I get all my frustrated emotions out on the pillow I turn to her.

"Mina..I don't know what's happening. I'm genuinely confused. First he f*cking breaks up with me then a few years later he sends me a text like nothings happened?"

"Really? I was surprised to see him here, he's never come before.."

"..then he shows up at my doorstep with yumi! Telling me how she yelled at him for hurting my feelings and sh*t. Honestly I love her for that but is my daughter really the reason you apologised, so she could just leave you alone, or was it because you really f*cking love me like you say so." She nods motioning me to carry on.

"Also, at the night he apologised, since he's told me he loved me he hasn't made any moves, any action..nothing. Now I feel like sh*t for being concentrated on myself rather than my daughters birthday party." Mina messages her furrowed eyebrows before giving me a hug. I didn't even realise I was crying by the end of my speech. I harshly wipe my tears, kissing my teeth at the thought that I'm even crying over this idiot again.

"Sh*t..how come I never knew this? He really told you he loved you? Hey, I'm not gonna tell you how to feel but I promise you it'll work out in the end, I can tell he really does..don't stress about it alright?" I roll my eyes laying down on mountains of pillows.

"Well It's really f*cking hard not to."

Kirishimas POV:

I give Yumi her present and watch her open it with small to little excitement. When she rips the sky blue wrapping paper away it reveals a electric car, just the same model as mine. She places it where the other presents are expressionless but even I can see her joy.

"Your welcome??" She rolls her eyes with a tiny smirk.

"Thank you I guess.." Sero and I burst out laughing at her reply but then I go back to looking for Bakugou. It's been abit awkward over the days and every time we text it feels like we both have something to say but we never say it. I start to walk around the house smiling at the pink decorations once in a while. Until I see Mina.

"He-" ..and Bakugou. Heading up the stairs? What were they doing? We're they gonnna hook up? I try get my mind out the gutter. I stare at them until they disappear, a frown meeting my face. Suddenly I feel a burst of electricity through my body.

"Ooo! Looks like Bakugous getting lucky tonight!" Denki yells over the music. My frown deepens. It feels like im about to throw up.

"Is it hot in here? I'm getting hot." I mumble pulling the collar of my shirt all directions.

"Wa- where y'a goin??" I rush into the bathroom ignoring denki. Splashing the freezing cold water on my face, and drying it on a dark red towel. Sh*t its probably his isn't it. I wipe the rest of the water off with my sleeve then stare at myself in the mirror. Why am I acting like this, it's not that serious. I don't know for sure if they are hooking up so why punch myself up about it. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door.

"Kiri? You in there?" Sero worriedly asks through the door. I don't reply.

"Kirishima?"

"..leave." He slightly pushes open the door popping his head through.

"You alright? I was afraid that you'd be pooping." I don't reply, sitting on the ground. He rushes towards me, bending down next to me.

"Yo you good?" He says noticing the tired and upset expression on my face.

"No I'm not "good"."

"Why? Do u feel sick? You hurt?" I says checking around my body in a panicked state.

"No..it's something else." He sits down next to me.

"When what, because your missing the dance battle between denks and Yumi!" I think about the pros and cons of this situation.

Pros
- I'll get this off my chest.

Cons
- Sero will know what's on my chest.

So basically, a no. But the thought of Bakugou and Mina hooking up runs through my mind once again, stabbing me in the gut.

"Ooo! Looks like Bakugous getting lucky tonight!"

A sudden lump rolls up my throat and I rush to grab onto the toilet seat. The imagination of people sitting on the toilet butt naked causes the food in my stomach to travel up even faster.

"Yo yo yo yo?! Are you gonna throw up?!!" I gag gripping harder on the seat, while Sero rubs my back.

"I-I don't know- Something's jus-"

We don't say anything for a while and just sit and stare at the walls.

"What would you do if your best friend and your..crush liked eachover ?" I say while picking the skin under my nails. He shuffles over a bit.

"Well..I guess I would let them be? I mean..if they really do like eachover that much, I would probably cut off my connections with them..since that's "my crush." He says making finger expression marks.

"You gonna spill what's up.." I sigh loudly lifting myself off the floor, walking to the door.

"I'm gonna get going now, see you later." I say giving him a short smile, shifting into the corridor as if I didn't just throw up.

"Kiri?"
