Crush (Kiribaku)

It's Not The End of Us

Bakugou's POV

He hadn't got in. Bakugou hadn't gotten into fucking Yuuei Highschool for hero academia. And there he was, bragging the shit out of his quirk and saying that he would be the number one hero. It all seemed like some bittersweet joke now. 

And what must Kirishima think of him now? He was a failure. Who did he fail exactly? Well, to anyone else that would have been a difficult fucking question since all his family and friends were supportive as fuck. But he had failed himself. Now shitty Deku would be number one probably. Of maybe fucking Icyhot Half n Half Bastard. Who knows? It just wouldn't be Bakugou.

And the worst thing was he didn't even know why. How was he not good enough? What did he do wrong? And that's when he thought,

Maybe my shitty personality is the reason. 

Maybe they thought I wasn't cut out to be a hero.

He shook the thought out of his head when he saw Kirishima approach him at their usual lunch spot on the hill. Kirishima sat next to him, not saying a word. After a few minutes of silence, he looked at Bakugou. Bakugou met his gaze.

"Hey... we promised right? You don't seem to be someone who breaks their promises."

Bakugou teared up.

 "Eijirou..."

Kirishima cupped his face with both hands and wiped away the tears that were forming. Muttering little nothings that were meant to be comforting.

 "sh sh shhh... It's okay Katsuki. I'm here. I'm here..."

And just like that, Kirishima was tearing up himself. But when Bakugou looked up at him, he refused to let himself cry and gave Bakugou an encouraging look. 

Bakugou was very fucking doubtful, to say the least. Things were changing, and hella fast. He wasn't ready for all this. He wasn't ready to go to a high school that wasn't UA. He wanted to go back to the times when he and Kirishima and their friends would just be able to talk and hang out and when he would just hang out with Kirishima and talk and they would cry and hug and make promises that can't-

he took a breath.

He just wanted to go back to the times that now made him nostalgic because he knew that they would be no more. That there would be no more hugs or kisses or tears. There would be no comforting voice or hands in his hair. There would be no more almost "I love you"'s or secret conversations. There would be no more joy or love or comfort.

At least that's how Bakugou saw it. The world was fucking ending. And Bakugou refused to break down in front of his boyfriend for the umpteenth time in their relationship.

He sat up and looked Kirishima in the eyes as he held a determined look on his face. 

"It'll be okay. I promise." 

He knew that Kirishima wasn't happy about this either. He had to be there for Kirishima too.

"It might be the end of my career and a lot of fun times together and it might be the end of getting to see each other a lot, but..."

Kirishima looked at him with wide and appreciative eyes.

"It's not the end of us."

Kirishima broke out in a grin as happy-sad tears rolled down his face.

"No, it's not."

Kirishima's POV

Bakugou was not going to UA. He knew he had to accept that but it was still hard. And painful. But he had to be strong for Bakugou. 

He wanted to do something... anything for Bakugou. Just to let him know how he felt. Just to tell him how he feels. To say all the things that he never got to say. Something to remind Bakugou of him whenever he looked at it.

And that's when it hit him.

Kirishima may be really bad with words... but he could always write them down.

A letter.

Yeah... since graduation was coming up very soon, he could give it to Bakugou when they part ways... for the last time.

NO! Not for the last time! It's not over yet! No matter how long it takes, he would be happy with Bakugou again! Someday with Bakugou and Mina and Sero and Kaminari they could all be happy! And he had to believe- he had to hope- he had to. For Bakugou.
