The Highschool Mess™

"I'm fucked." Kirishima said as he flopped onto Kamiari's bed. The yellow haired boy laughed and moved his notebooks away, looking at Kirishima. "Why? Is it Bakugou again?" Kaminari asked and Kirishima brought his hands to cover his face, nodding.

Kaminari laughed, laying down next to Kirishima and he turned his head to look at him.

"What did he do this time?" Kaminari asked and Kirishima's face gained in color under his hands. "He smiled," Kirishima said and Kaminari quirked an eyebrow. "He what?" Kaminari asked.

"I made a joke, and he laughed, but he was smiling and it was so fucking beautiful." Kirishima said, pulling his hands away to reveal his red face, eyes shining. "He's so beautiful," Kirishima said and Kaminari laughed at his love-struck friend.

"Yeah, well, I'm sure he feels the same." Kaminari said and Kirishima turned. "Of course he knows he's beautiful," Kirishima said and Kaminari laughed again, sitting up. "No, I mean, I sure he thinks you're beautiful too." Kaminari corrected and Kirishima sat up too.

"Dude," Kirishima said, smiling softly at Kaminari and looking right into his eyes. "I am beautiful." Kirishima said and Kaminari laughed, tossing his head back. "Conceited much?" Kaminari asked through laughter and Kirishima shrugged, moving so his back was against the wall at the end of Kaminari's bed. Kaminari moved too so his back was against his headboard, the two facing each other.

"Are you ever gonna tell him?" Kaminari asked, locking at Kirishima. Kirishima's cheeks turned a light pink and he looked at his hands. "I mean, I don't know." Kirishima started.

"He's-I mean, he's Bakugou, and I don't know how he would take this, I don't know if he'd reciprocate my feelings. He's just, he's amazing. He's so talented. he's smart and cunning and just amazing in general. I love the way he laughs at the smallest things, or how he gets determined, or how he never lets anyone knock him down. No one gets on his nerves and he is so amazing."

Kirishima smiled softly, eyes full of wonder and love, cheeks flushed. "I don't know if he'll like me back. He's my first real crush, the first person I've ever loved, what if he doesn't feel the same? What if I'm just hopelessly in love?" Kirishima finished, looking at Kaminari with a gentle look that the other returned.

I know how you feel," Kaminari said and Kirishima looked up. "What? Really? Who?" Kirishima asked and Kaminari waved his hands around, his own face gaining a little in color. "No, no, we're not talking about me and my sad love life, we're talking about you." Kaminari said and Kirishima pouted.

"Look," Kaminari said, stretching out his legs so they laid next to Kirishima. "You're obviously too much of an idiot to see-" "Hey!" "-But Bakugou loves you too. He fucking adores you, okay? Who reached his hand out to him, though I never saw that, Deku told me. Who paid you back even though he didn't have to, who is the only person able to calm Bakugou down even the slightest? It's always you, Kirishima."

Kirishima was about to say something but Kaminari held up one finger a wait signal. "Bakugou also stares at you, it's almost like, when you're not staring, he is. He always chooses for you to be his sparring partner and you too are so goddamn perfect so shut up." Kaminari finished and Kirishima sniffled before enveloping Kaminari in a hug.

"Thank you so much, bro!" Kirishima said and Kaminari laughed, hugging the other back. "So are you going to confess?" Kaminari said, not pulling from the hug. Kirishima nodded. "It might take some serious psyching myself up, but I am."

The two pulled apart and Kaminari nodded. "Good, I'm proud of you." Kaminari said and Kirishima grinned, standing up. "I gotta go! Sero wanted to talk about some things so I'll see you later!" Kirishima walked to the door but paused in the doorway, turning his head to look over his shoulder.
