Someone Else's Hero (KiriBaku)

Day 13: Friends

Kaminari and Bakugou spent the day just chatting about whatever came to their minds, Sero coming upstairs to bring Kaminari and Bakugou dinner. Sero stayed for a bit, promising he wouldn't tell anyone where Bakugou was. The two boys soon headed to bed, neither of them having to get up for school the next day since it was the weekend.

The next morning, Bakugou and Kaminari woke up to two fists pounding on the door. Bakugou quickly found his way into the closet as Kaminari got up to answer the door.

"Kaminari! Remember we were gonna hang today?" Mina's cheerful voice could be heard from Bakugou's spot in the closet.

"Oh...OH! Yea! Come on in guys!" Kaminari said, letting Mina and Sero, who was also there, into the room. Bakugou poked his head out of the closet, Mina instantly running over to the blonde boy. As Bakugou stepped out of the closet, the pink-haired girl pulled him into a hug.

"I'm sorry Bakugou." She whispered, the blonde in shock. Sero eventually wandered over, hugging Bakugou as well. Kaminari joined the group hug moments later. They stayed like that for a minute or so, then everyone let go. Bakugou had a small smile on his face, tears in his eyes.

"Thank you but...shouldn't you guys be worried about Eijirou too?" Bakugou asked, a semi-confused look on his face.

"We were going to go check on him, but we saw him walking with Todoroki and Midoriya in the hallway on our way here. It's just us now." Sero explained, sitting himself down on the bed. Kaminari and Mina followed, Bakugou sitting down on the floor.

"So...wanna play never have I ever?"

"Oh hell yea."

Meanwhile, Todoroki, Midoriya, and Kirishima were walking down the halls to the cafeteria. Kirishima had been extremely worried about his fiance for the past two days, searching around for him whenever he got the chance. He was in a constant state of panic and guilt, knowing he was the one he caused Bakugou to run off like he did. He was somewhere in the building, but no one knew where. Todoroki and Midoriya decided to ask Kirishima to go to lunch with them, since he'd been doing nothing but sit in his room, and stress.

"You found what?!" Midoriya practically yelled, turning to Kirishima in shock. The redhead just nodded, making Todoroki and Midoriya's eyes light up.

"I know...I never really expected Katsuki to be an artist...I didn't even know he drew at all...it looks like he's been hiding more from me than I expected." Kirishima muttered, frowning.

"Hey, Kirishima, we took you out of your room so you could stop stressing. We promised you we'd help you find Bakugou, but right now, you're too stressed. Just have a chat with us." Todoroki said, a soft smile on his face. Kirishima just nodded as him, Todoroki and Midoriya sat down in the booth. They were having a friendly chat about school, then, Iida and Uraraka found their way into the cafeteria. They soon joined the conversation. It was quite enjoyable for everyone involved, but Kirishima felt sort of out of place. This really wasn't his group. His group was Kaminari, Bakugou, Mina, Sero, and Jirou. He felt like he was intruding on another groups fun. After a small while, he excused himself to the bathroom, but he decided to head back to his room instead. While he was walking back, he saw Mina and Sero leaving Kaminari's room, all of them with smiles on their faces. A strange anger boiled inside of him. Why were they smiling when one of their friends was missing? Or maybe they were just distracting themselves? Kirishima decided not to confront them, he didn't need to fight with anyone else. Fighting with Bakugou was enough. When he arrived back at his room, he sat down at his desk and continued writing the letter he started before he left.
