In More Ways Than One - Kiribaku

I'm Here (K)

That guy wasn't kidding about his depression. My heart breaks for Bakugo that was absolutely heartbroken by me dying before in my Kiu form. He let out all of feelings he's been feeling to an "complete stranger" My head kept thinking back to when I can tell him that I was Kiu but even that guy who's name I never got said I could never tell him. How can I sit here in this Ejiro form and not tell him I was his boyfriend that died? It would take a toll on him, I knew that loud and clear but it's just so tough. He finishes off the whole paragraph of feelings of my death and looks to me. I blink and clear my throat, coming back to him,

"Jeez, I had no idea."

Lie.

"I would have never guessed."

Another lie.

He just nods slowly, staring back down at his fingers again. I've never seen him so broken before.

"I wish I could forget about it honestly, I feel like I can't trust anyone anymore.." He throws a bit of dust away from him. I gave him  a weak chuckle,

"And somehow you told me all of that." I brought up. He shrugged with one shoulder,

"You convinced me somehow, don't get used to it." He mumbled stubbornly. I smiled at his cuteness. His vibe was so impacting, I thought constantly about how I was going to fix this. "I'm not crazy right? It's-It's normal to feel so depressed like this, right?" His uncertain eyes didn't look at me. His stuttering was so unlike him. I sucked in my lip, adjusting my crossed legs,

"I would say so but you can't just block everything out of your life, Bakugo, you have a great life ahead of you." I softly punched his arm. He sighs, leaning his head back,

"I think I just fucked everything up, I'm never going to get anywhere." His head finally turned to me. I frowned,

"Don't think of yourself like that, you're going to do fine as long as I can help you get over this huge hill of sadness." I tried to explain it with a bit more description. He scoffs,

"You're going to help me? Fuck off, no way." He said blankly. I sigh,

"Hear me out, I promise I won't try to use you of anything, think about about it." I huddle my knees up to my chest, "If I'm going to be living in this room, we need to get to know each other-"

"We don't need to know jackshit, you really think I'm going to fall for this?" His voice raised in anger. I exhaled steadily, I forgot how stubborn he can be. "You're just some red head that needs to mind his own business." He growled, looking away from me. I squinted, grabbing his chin to make him look at me again,

"I'm a red head that can help you and your future." I stated with more force. "I'm asking you to just fucking think about it, you aren't going to get any better just sitting here okay?" He pushes my hand off, scoffing as he studied me again. 

"You- ugh, fine." He mumbled, getting up from his bed. My smile quickly returned as I got up as well.

"I'll meet you in the gym." I called. My head poked out before I left, "Hey Bakugo?" Surprisingly, his head turns to me as he stops looking in some drawer.

"What."

"Bring that striving pride." I smiled in reassurance, shutting the door fully. I strolled down, seeing everyone talking a bit and making their way to the training stations.
