Seeing Red | Kiribaku

Chapter 4

I woke up with my head hurting, sweating, and breathing heavily. What was happening? Did I wake up from a nightmare? I think I woke up from a nightmare. But for some reason I don't remember what it was about. I sit up and look at my alarm clock, it was 2:23 AM. I get up and walk to my door. I open the door and then walk to the bathroom. I go in and look in the mirror. Now, I can see the redness in my eyes.

Red. The color is beautiful.

After staring for a few minutes I stop and walk back to my room. My heart was beating at a normal pace now and I wasn't sweating anymore. I sat at my bed and just stared at the ground for a while. My head hurts. I get up and walk to the table I kept the pills. I gulp it down with some water and lay back down on my bed. I looked at the time again and it was 2:52 AM. I grabbed my broken phone. I tried to turn it on but it didn't work. I sighed and just stared at the ceiling. Man, I am way out of it today. I feel my lids get heavier and the next thing I know is that I was sleeping.

I hear my alarm ring. I make a fist and hit the alarm clock shutting it up. I got up and started changing. Once I was done I went to the kitchen. I saw my mom cooking breakfast. "Hey Eijirou! Good morning!" She said not looking away from the pan with a pancake on it. "Hey mom.. " I said back. "Didn't sleep well?" My mom asked while setting the fire off. "Yeah.. I had a nightmare.." I told her while I went to sit on the chair next to the table. I put my chin on my hands and started dozing off. Damn, I'm really tired. My mom sets a plate with pancakes next to me. "Thanks.. " I replied sleepily. As I picked up my fork and started stabbing the pancake my mom asked me "Hey Ei?" I looked up at her with a confused face. "Yeah mom?" I asked her. She sits down and stares at me. I saw that before she sat down she grabbed something. "You can see this color, right?" She said raising up a red napkin. "Y-yeah" I said looking down at my pancake that was somehow already gone. She stayed silent, just staring at me with a neutral face, until, her face suddenly started tearing up and had a huge smile plastered onto her face. "Oh my god!" She said while walking over to me and hugging me. I sat up and hugged her back. "Who is it?" She asked between sobs. "Do they go to your school?", " Do they look pretty?", "Are they tall?", " Is it a boy or a girl?" She started bombarding me with questions. "U-Uhh-" I started. "I- Uh, I.. Can't remember what he looks like.." I said putting my head on her shoulder. "He?" She questioned. "U-Uh yeah? Is that okay?" I asked bringing my head up to look at her. "Oh honey! Of course it's okay!" She said pinching my cheek while smiling brightly. "What do you mean you can't remember what he looks like?" She asked with eyes full of concern. "Well.. Before I got hit by the bus.. I saw him. But.. Somehow I can't remember what he looks like. It's like.. My brain doesn't want me to know who it is." I said not noticing the tears falling down my face.

"Don't worry Eijirou, you'll see him soon, I'm sure of it."

And after that she let go of me and went to her room

~~Time skip to the end of the summer~~

I heard the alarm ring and woke up. It was Saturday and the letter for Yuuei were coming in. I got out of my bed and raced down the stairs. Why am I so excited? I probably didn't even get accepted.. With that thought in my head there was a frown on my face. I heard my mom yell. "Eijirou the letter from Yuuei is here!" I started walking down the stairs. "Coming!"

Once I reached the kitchen I walked straight to my mom and grabbed the letter. I took a deep breath in and the started opening the letter.

I got accepted?!

While reading the letter I started to burst into tears. I had a huge smile plastered onto my face. "You got accepted!" Asked my mom. "YEAH" I said back running towards her. I gave her a hug and started crying tears of joy. "Well, go tell Ashido!" She said. "Yeah, I'll tell her." I said back letting go and running towards the stairs. I grabbed my phone, which I got after Karakashi broke it, and looked for Ashido's phone number. After I found it I called her.

(Ashido is Bold, and Kiri is Italics)

Hello?

Ashido! Did you get the letter for Yuuei?

Ah, yeah, I did!

Did you open it?

I did! And I got in!! I'M SO HAPPY!! WAIT. Did you get accepted?!?

I-I, y-yes I got in!!

Aww, bitch I'm so happy for you!!

At that point I was crying, and couldn't talk because of all the tears flowing out of my eyes.

I'm so exited! I'll see ya there!

Alright, bye!!

Bye!!

I hung up and went outside to the store. school started next week and I am not looking like a depressed kid, nor do I wanna remind myself of that. "Mom I'm going to the store!" I yelled and closed the door behind me. I ran to the convenience store and grabbed a box of red hair dye. I ran to the counter and payed for it. When I got back home I went straight to the bathroom and dyed my hair right there and then. Once I finished dying my hair I thought about having a new hair style to stick out more.

After I went through billions of hairstyles to which I liked none of them, I stumbled across one where my hair was spike up, with two horn-like parts of my hair. I smiled wide and said "This is it! I love this!". As soon as I finished I went to my room. Maybe I should work with my confidence level.

And that's what I did

~Time skip to the first day of school~

I walked up to the gates of Yuuei high. My hair was spiked up and I was smiling really wide my face started to hurt.  I walked up to the gates and walked inside the building. Hmm, my class is 1-A. As I said that I saw a door that said 1-A on it.

I walked in and instantly saw Ashido. She was talking to some kid with blond hair and a lightning bolt on his hair. I walked up to her and said Hi!"Who are you?" She said. I laughed and let her stare at me. I could tell she was thinking. "K-Kirishima?! Is that you?!" She yelled a little too loud. Everyone in the class was now staring at us. A tiny blush of embarrassment dusted across my face. "Oi, shut the fuck up pink bitch!" I heard someone yell from across the classroom. I looked at the direction where that yell came. There was a boy with ash-blonde hair and a huge frown plastered on his face. "Oi, what are you looking at Shitty hair?!" I brought my hand up to my hair "Our hair isn't that different though!" I said. "Shut up!" He yelled back. "No. My name is Kirishima Eijirou!" I said walking up to him putting my hand out to greet him. I saw his eyes widen slightly before he brought his hand out and shaked my hand.

"Bakugou Katsuki"

~Time skip to the middle of the year where Baku and Kiri are friends now. With the Bakusquad~

*Bakugou POV*

At the moment we were in the main room of the dorms. The whole 'Bakusquad' or whatever the fuck Dunce face called it, were  watching a movie. We were all sitting on the couch. I looked over at Shitty hair. He was really focused on the movie. I felt something on the back of my mind. Then I saw a flashback. The kid who bumped into me during middle school. The one with black hair and a scar above his eye. My eyes widened as I looked at him. I had a question to ask him but I'll wait until the movie is over.

Once the movie was over everyone stood up. It was 9:54 PM. Dammit. I missed my 8:32 curfew.  As everyone exited the main room I pulled Shitty hair back into the main room. I was gonna ask the question now.

"Oi, Shitty hair, have we met before?"

His head cocked to the side and I saw the scar above his eye. His hair was down which made him look more like the guy. He slightly looked up and brought his hand up to his chin. He was thinking.

"Um, no, I think you have the wrong person"

And with that he left.

A/N: Welp, that's the end! If you want me to continue the story but as a new book just tell me! This was inspired by a post on Instagram. If you haven't already seen it. Byyee!
