A Tie Between Us (Kiribaku)

Beginnings

I always needed a second opinion on how I looked. And it couldn't be from my friends and it couldn't be from my mom. A brutally honest opinion from a random person who had never known me or seen me whatsoever. Truth to be told, insecurity was one of the most unfortunate traits I have received from my parents. It was annoying and it filled my quest for finding that stupid second opinion. I think I received it when I met my roommate, Bakugo.

A knock was heard at my door at about 10:30 pm. I was just about to get to bed when I heard what seemed like pounding at the time. I groaned, realizing that I had to get out of bed, but still complied to whoever knocked.

"Oh..." I yawned, a little surprised at the sight. "Hey, Mr. Aizawa." I rubbed my eyes.

The teacher grunted in response as he shifted an angry-looking ash blonde boy in front of him. "This is Bakugo Katsuki." He said, deadpanned.

Bakugo squirmed as Aizawa grabbed the back of his shirt. "I'll kill you, you old man- Hey!" He spat before he was cut off and thrown into the room. My eyes widened as I suddenly toppled over behind him.

"You're roommates." Aizawa shut the door without another word.

(And they were roommates... sorry had to)

Roommates? I thought, blushing a bit as I tried to get up off of my angry-looking, beautiful, new roommate.

"Kirishima Eijirou." I tried to introduce himself the morning after.

I held my hand out towards the blonde. My roommate didn't do anything in return like I expected him to. He just grunted and scurried up onto his bed.

"Not much of talker, hm?" I tried to retain a conversation between us.

The boy sighed. "Just leave me alone, Dumb Hair."

"Dumb Hair?" I tried to muster out a laugh even though I was a tad bit insecure from what he said,

"Yeah... It's all spiky and stuff." He grunted, taking a sip of water before setting it down on his nightstand.

"Oh..." I said feeling a little defeated as I sat  down on my bed and took my surroundings once more. I tapped his fingers on the bed's frame as I stared at our room in its full entirety. Rather than my room in my first year, there were two beds parallel to each other, creating a gap between my bed and Bakugo's. Mine was next to the door leading out into the hallway and Bakugo's was next to our closet, making it easier for me to leave and making it easier for Bakugo to hide my body in the closet. I shook the thought as a few minutes later, I tried to talk to Bakugo again.

"Is it really that bad?"

"What?" Bakugo clearly had already forgotten.

"My hair."

"Are you still thinking about that?! It's just dumb that it looks good on you, okay?!" Bakugo yelled, his face tinted red as soon as he realized what he said.

I was positive that I turned as red as my hair. "Thanks." I said, trying to contain my blush and look away.

"Shut up.." Bakugo angrily looked down at his phone, his hair falling a bit in his face. I felt myself looking over a lot and blushing again and again, infatuated with Bakugo and everything he was doing.

Am I getting feelings... for a guy? I thought as I finally admitted to myself blushing. With being raised a certain way at home, I felt so confused and uncomfortable with myself. I stared up at the ceiling in a frown and thought about all that could be wrong with me. It was almost to the point where I almost felt like I was going to throw up. I rubbed my temples and tried to think of something different. I had never liked anyone before now. Not even a girl. So, why was this guy tripping me up?
