NOMU (kiribaku)

Overprotective

After Kaminari's quick af trial I didn't see or hear much of Kirishima. His family wanted him to stay home and in their sight after everything that happened to him. I was glad he was taking a break and he seemed to feel the same as he didn't even argue.

Even though I was glad he was taking time to himself, It went back to normal at school. Normal as in, I sat by myself, nobody cared what was going on with me(I dint mind that part v much), I ate alone in the courtyard, and had nothing to distract me from the conversation I had with my father last night..

"That's too dangerous, after everything thats happened recently. Surely even you can see that!" I threw my hands in the air.

"You will do as I say. That boy has an incredible power that can easily fit into the fine quirks we've collected."

"I understand, but taking another student's power, wouldn't turn out well for us right now. Not to mention the fact that we still haven't found a way to guarantee the quirk users life"

"This defiance is not because he is a 'friend', is it?" He glared.

"No.."

He glared for a minute, gritting his teeth. "Perhaps your right.." He hated to admit it. "I'll speak with the engineers, I'll give them until friday, then we will take his quirk."

I nodded and he left the room.

I put the thoughts aside and pulled out my phone as I finished up my lunch and tried texting Kirishima again. It's been a week since he's messaged me back.

Kirishima

(Kirishima POV)

I sent the last text then layed down on my bed.

"Eijirou!" I sighed, a whole week, and I haven't gotten a single break from my parents worry.

I sat up and left my room, heading down the hall where mom called for me.

"Yea?'' I said, looking around the corner.

"I thought you were just getting a book, what took so long?" She asked, worry tinged her tone.

"Bakugou started texting me.."

"Let me see the messages," she demanded, holding out her hand.

I handed her my phone and leaned against the wall. "What're you even worried about, I thought you liked Bakugou."

"Yea, well I liked Kaminari too, look how that turned out."

"Mom, I told you I'm fine. Thats a one time kinda thing."

She ignored me again. "Alright, nothing suspicious this time."

"Told you.." I muttered and started toward the couch.

"Ah ah, it's noon. Take off your shirt."

I rolled my eyes then did as she said, following the same schedule for the past week. She inspected my chest, looking for anything that she might've missed the last billion times she's done this. "You're bruises are almost gone.. Go ahead, relax."

I pulled my shirt back over my head. "Ya know, I think you're being too overprotective. I'm fine and its not gonna happen again, your worried about nothing.."

"What if it does, what if something happens to your sister. I don't want either of you getting hurt like that."

I sighed. "I know mom, but I need some freedom, I've only truly been alone when I sleep, and even then, you come to check on me every hour.."

"I'm sorry that you've been feeling suffocated, I just don't want to lose you like that again."

My father walked into the conversation, "It was scary for all of us. ...its been a difficult transition to get used to."

I threw my backpack over my shoulder and headed down the hall. I was met by mom and dad at the door with worried looks.

"I'm gonna be okay, guys. I'll come home right after school," I gave them a reasuring smile.

"You better." Dad wrapped me into a tight hug.

"I promise, I will. Now I gotta go if I wanna catch the bus." I pulled back and smiled, heading out the door.

"Be careful.."

"Bye! Be safe!"

I rolled my eyes and headed down the street to the bus stop. I enjoyed the comfortable silence of the walk, finally being alone again.

I took a deep breath as the bus stopped in front of UA, I got off and stared up at the school. It feels like it's been forever since I've seen anyone from school. Or outside of my family in general.

Butterflies filled my stomach as I looked up at the building. I know I've been ignoring what happened. But I don't know if I can handle everyone asking me if I'm okay, or the pitiful looks I'll get the moment I walk through the door. It was difficult enough trying to convince my parents that I was fine.

I took another deep breath, cleared my mind and nervously headed toward the school. My heart was pounding as I got closer to the classroom, hearing the quiet buzz in the room.

I slowly pushed the door open, and took a step in, shyly looking at the rest of the class. It only took a second for their quiet conversations to hault and their attention to turn to me.

"Uh.. Hey guys-"

"Kirishima!" The class exploded and jumped up, rushing over to me with wide smiles.

I tried not to feel uneasy as they wrapped their arms around me and continuously said how much they missed me, smiling with them.

(Bakugou POV)

I rushed down the hall as I heard my classmates extreme joy.

I threw the door open and tears pricked my eyes as I saw the red-head standing in the middle of everyone else. "Kirishima!" I rushed forward and wrapped my arms around him.

He tensed up a bit and put his arms around me too. "Hey, Bakugou." He said sweetly.

"Are you okay..? Really.."

He nodded quickly with a small smile. I smiled back as my hand dropped to his then he pulled it away..

(Just realized it's been exactly one month since I started this book. Woo woo. Mmk bye.)
