The Thorn among the Roses

Chapter 6: A bittersweet ending

On the bus trip back Kirishima was tired, leaning on the window. "Isn't the window uncomfortable?" Bakugou said, looking up from his phone. Kiri didn't respond. Bakugou grabbed the Kirishima's neck, pulling him in. Bakugou let go when Kirishima's head was on his shoulder. The redhead's heart began to race as his face flushed. Kirishima shifted, getting into a more comfortable position. The boy tried stifling a cough but failed, feeling petals on his tongue. He covered his mouth instantly, hiding a petal that escaped his lips. When they got back to the dorms Kirishima ran straight to the common toilet, releasing more flowers. There wasn't blood this time, just flowers. Bakugou caught up to Kirishima, standing outside the bathroom. The two got to their dorms. "Go get some rest." The ash blonde said as he opened his door. "Wait- Bakugou." Kiri caught his friend. Bakugou looked back at the shorter male. "Thank you, for tonight." He smiled. "Yeah, whatever." Katsuki said before going into his dorm. Kirishima went into his own room and lay down on his bed, it was 1:00 in the morning; thank God it wasn't a school night. 

The next morning wasn't so pleasant. Kirishima was bleeding a lot more with less Roses. The boy's arms were throbbing and he couldn't stop crying. He tried to stay as quiet as possible, the toilet stained with his blood. Kirishima's eyes started to close as he began to lose his grip on consciousness. Kirishima felt a pair of arms wrap around him. He couldn't make out the words being said to him, passing out.

"Goddamn it, Kirishima!" The ash blonde held his friend. Bakugou rang Ashido and then emergency services. Ashido was there in a flash. "What happened?" She said, helping Bakugou with Kirishima. "How am I supposed to know? I just found him like that." He hissed.
