Alcohol and Explosive Quirks Don't Mix Well {KiriBaku Fanfiction}

Tired of Hurting

This chapter is short, I'm really sorry. I just feel to depressed to write...

--Bakugo's POV--

It was a struggle to keep my eyes open. I just couldn't anymore. It was too hard to speak or move. Being around him helped though...

Kirishima's hand intertwining with mine made me feel so alive again. Like I could do anything. He sobbed into my chest and murmured soft apologies. I wanted to tell him it was okay, that for once I wasn't mad and I wanted so, so bad to tell him that I love him.

I feel so much more relaxed with him. Even when things should be tense. I hope I wake up soon so I can wrap him in my arms and make fun of his shitty hair. Weakly I manage to squeeze his hand with mine. His crying slowly stops and he fiddles with his hand in mine.

A few minutes pass and he is pushed out of my room. I'm supposed to sleep and regain energy but it's so much harder without his warm presence. My eyes flutter open and I stare at the ceiling. They turned off the lights to help me sleep, causing the room to be dimmer. The only light filtering through the window curtains. It's cold and lonely in here.

I groan and shift in the hospital bed. My attempts at sleeping were only in vain. The beeping of the machines constantly reminded me I wasn't in Kirishima's bed. Tears well up in my eyes.

"Dammit Kiri." I whisper to myself.

Tears trail down my face but I don't exactly feel sad. Just lonely. I stare at the heart rate monitor and listen to the steady beeping. It's so hard to sleep.

I'm so tired but every single thing is distracting me from sleeping. I can hear quiet whispers coming from behind the door.

Kirishima is discussing with the doctor when he can visit me again. I let myself drift asleep to the sound of his soothing voice.

~~~

I awake to the soft murmurs of a bunch of people in my room. I slit my eyes open. Mina is looking out the window and humming to the tune of 'Mr. Brightside', Sero is sitting in a chair having a strange-sounding conversation with Kirishima. Kaminari is in Sero's lap and Kirishima is next to me. His fingers intertwined with mine. I shut my eyes and squeeze his hand to let him know I'm awake. I don't have the energy to do anything else.

"Oh you're awake!" Kirishima announces and everyone gets up and rushes around the hospital bed.

"He's.. not awake, Kiri." Kaminari mutters.

"Yeah he is. He just squeezed my hand!" Kirishima says and places his hand against my face. I can practically hear his bright smile. It's probably the toothy grin he always flashes. The one that makes my heart skip a beat and makes my palms sweaty. I'm not one to be nervous but when I'm around him, butterflies fill my stomach.

"He could've been shifting in his sleep." Mina suggests.

"You guys are all fucking annoying. Shut the hell up." I mutter and roll onto my side. Everyone falls silent in shock then their silence gives way to laughs.

"Classic Bakugo." Sero says, "Glad your back, buddy!" I open my eyes just so I can roll them. Kirishima smiles brightly. I can see small glossy tears slowly trickling down his face.

I'm an idiot. I shouldn't have hurt him, "Stop crying. It's pissing me off..." I glare at Kirishima and sit up. I'm instantly wrapped in a hug. Kirishima squeezes me against his chest. I couldn't stop my own tears as I hugged him tighter against me.

"Promise me..." I whispered.

"Huh?" Kirishima asked.

"Promise me, you won't ever run away from me again." I hugged him tighter. I was so afraid he would just run again.

"I promise." He whispers into my ear.

"Guys let's keep the pants on. We are in a hospital." Kaminari said with a chuckle followed by Mina giggling and Sero pretending to gag and throw up.

I can feel my heartbeat speed up and it's audible on the heartbeat monitor. Kirishima presses his face into my shoulder to hide his blushing face. He's almost the color of his shitty hair.

I'm tired of hurting and I'm sure Kirishima is too. No more pushing people away.

"I love you." Kirishima said softly.

"Yeah, I love you too..." I whispered so only he could hear. One 'I love you' wouldn't hurt... could it?

Just one 'I love you' should be okay...

But no more.

Bakugo is such a lair lol.
