Tolerance ~ Bakugo x Kirishima

//Chapter THREE

(ya girl is bacc with the best chapter to exist and I know this because I'm cocky hehe)

(ftr just a short filler chapter. [oR IS IT?? {It isn't all filler, let's just say that.}])

Kirishima's POV

When I woke up, I was surprised to find Bakugo still there. I had figured that he had gotten up and went to his own bed at some point in the night, but he didn't. It kind of felt nice, like he almost wanted to be with me. Or he was just tired. For the record, I preferred the former.

I nudged him gently, despite how much I wanted to stay like this forever. "Bakugo, we have school. You have to get up."

He stirred a little, squinting and rolling over. "I'm tired. Fuck off."

I smiled a little, because at least he knew that he had to get up. My part of the job was done. I grabbed the components of my school outfit and then went into the bathroom to change into them. Once I was done, I came out (hehe) and assembled my bag, heading out the door so I wouldn't be late for class.

~~~

The day passed slowly, which was partly due to Kaminari being absent (for the third day in a row). I didn't really mind that it felt like forever, it just meant that I got 'more' time to think of Bakugo.

After the I had left school, I thought I should visit Kaminari and see how he was doing. I texted him that I was coming over, and started walking over to his house when he knew of my plans.

"H-Hello, I'm here to see Denki, if that's okay?" I said nervously entering the Kaminari residence.

"Yes love, you come over almost every week." Kaminari's mother smiled. "Make yourself at home, but do keep in mind he's upstairs sick, I would just hate for you to catch his cold."

I smiled and nodded back. "Will do! Thanks for having me over, once again!" I scurried up the stairs to his room, and went in after hearing him say I could.

Kaminari sat up and threw his Nintendo Switch to the side. "So, how was that show? I almost cried laughing, not gonna lie."

At that moment, I had completely forgot that he recommended that show. The show that started the whole situation that led to me confessing to Bakugo. Whether to thank him or scold him-- it was unclear.

I shifted nervously. "W-Well let's just say that I didn't get to watch it."

"Aw shit, what happened? I don't wanna spoil it or anything,"

"Okay, well..." I exhaled deeply. This wasn't going to be easy. "So, Bakugo put it on a little early and there were two dudes (chillin in a hot tub 5 feet apart cause they're [not] gay) kissing, and he got all homophobic, and I kind of came out to him, and it was... I don't know. Not fun."

He looked at me for a second, taking in what I had just said. "Wait, you came out to him? You're gay?"

Then my whole world turned upside down. Did I really come out to him? Was it a dream? No, I'm almost positive I came out to him, seeing as he was the first one I came out to. Did he forget? Oh god... I hope he didn't. Who would do something like that?! Much less why?

"It's just a prank bro, I know you're gay."

I hate him so much.

After a second, he broke out in a huge smile and began laughing hard. "D-Dude! Your face was priceless! You looked like you just remembered you left the oven on!"

It was probably true. I didn't care what face I made, that was a cheap trick. "Ah Kaminari, laughing in the pain of others. You don't even look sick, are you better?"

"Oh, me? I wasn't even sick in the first place. I just made a little magic with my quirk and tripped the thermometer so I 'had a fever' and stayed home and watched s-something."

He averted his gaze in time for me to be immersed in my utter and pathetic confusion. "What did you watch? Come on, this is payback for that cheap ass joke of yours."

He turned back around. "Hey! It wasn't that bad... Fine. I can say proudly and confidently, that I spent my time off binge-watching Eromanga Sensei."

"But Kaminari, you were out of school for three days and the weekend. There's no chance in hell it took you that long to watch it once through. What else did you do?"

Now it was his turn to exhale loudly. "Well, my dear Eijirou... I watched Eromanga Sensei 8 times."

"Dude, what the actual fuck?"

~~~

My stay didn't last long after that. I had gone back home, and found Bakugo sitting on the couch reading-- you guessed it, It.

I had changed out of my school uniform and went into the living room to hang out around Bakugo for a bit. Just after I sat down, he put a bookmark in his book, pausing a minute before turning to me.

Although I was looking out the window, I knew he was looking at me for a good couple minutes before he uttered a very weak request.

"Oi Kiri, c-come here for a second. I need help with something."

Figuring it was something to do with homework, I walked over and sat down on the arm of the couch he was on.

"So what is it--"

"Shut up, don't do anything, don't say anything, I just need help."

And then, he sat up, pulled me closer, and kissed me flat on the lips.
