"We can't be together anymore, Kirishima."

It were those words that broke Kirishima's heart. It were those words that left Kirishima sobbing. Those words that made Kirishima cry every time he thought about it. Words that let Kirishima feel less confident. Though, Kirishima still loved that person. Even if that person didn't love him, Kirishima still loved them. Every single thing about them. Their smile, their personality, their voice, their eyes, their determination, everything. Kirishima would do anything for that one person. Anything. Just for that one. He would die protecting them, die fighting beside them, die for them. Anything. Only because he loves them.

"I understand."

It were those words that shocked Bakugou. It were those words that left Bakugou speechless. Those words that made Bakugou sigh every time he thought about it. Words that let Bakugou believe he was a bad person. Though, Bakugou still cared about that person. Even if that person didn't care for him, Bakugou still cared about them. He cared for everything about that person. Their health, their thoughts, their opinions, their emotions, their well-being, everything. Bakugou would do anything for that one person. Anything. Just for that person. He would trade his life for theirs if it meant they live. He would protect their life with everything he had. He would fight and fight to make sure they're okay. Anything. Only because he cares.


Kirishima walked home silently, the calm environment soothing him. He inhaled the scents, he liked the peaceful aura. Kirishima didn't feel like heading directly home, so he intentionally took a few wrong turns. As he turned around a few corners, he finally fell upon a field. He loved deserted places, where he could be alone. He raced to the center of the empty field. The long grasses hide his body. He rolled around, getting himself covered in grass. It was around 5 in the evening, the sun slowly making it's way to the west. He looked at the sky, clouds rolling over the blue. Kirishima closed his eyes, allowing himself to daydream. He dreamed of a life where there were no fighting villains. A world of love and happiness, no heartbreak. A world of laughter and friendship. A world of his imagination. He suddenly jolted awake, opening his eyes to see a dark sky with specks of white and a glowing orb. He didn't realize he had slept the whole time. He looked at the stars, the scenery around him was beautiful. His heart had a familiar ache. He has been like this before. The last time was on a hill, counting the stars, hands intertwined. Foreheads touching, caressing each other's face. Making jokes, laughing, smiling. Nothing but love for one another. Telling stories, dreams, hopes, and wishes. Nothing but caring for one another. Silent tears dripped down his cheeks. Kirishima had on a sad smile, he quietly sobbed. He looked back at the stars, one flying across the sky. Make a wish.

I wish that everyone is happy.

Kirishima wiped away his tears, his hand went over the scar on his eye. He sighed, but he didn't care much about it. Kirishima got up, checking his phone. It was 12:53 am. Kirishima still didn't want to go home. So he stayed there until he began to see the first signs of morning. He completely forgot it was a school night. He quickly gathered his things and began heading home. He reached his house at 5:30. He opened his door, which was unlocked. He quietly went up the stairs, entering his room to put down his things. He needed to take a shower, he did roll in the grass a lot. Kirishima turned on the shower and began to wash his hair. He took a five-minute shower, he headed to his room to get dressed. He didn't have to worry about homework due to doing after classes. He tiptoed down the stairs to go eat quickly. He made himself a bowl of rice with an over easy egg on top. His eyes shifted to the clock in his kitchen. 6:57 am. He had school soon, the place where he gets to see the person he loves. He grabbed his bag and headed out. He usually walks to school alone since he doesn't live as near to everyone. He had this time to himself, just to walk in silence.
