(This chapter is from more Kirishima's perspective FYI)
----------------------------------------------
Kirishima was laying beside his boyfriend on his bed. It was about 5 in the morning, and he hadn't slept all night. The events from the last night kept replaying, and replaying, and replaying again. What he said. What he didn't say. Why. When. How. The messages he sent. Calling for Bakugo. The fear. The pain. The tears. It all almost seemed like a bad dream now, if only it was. He looked once more at Bakugo. Kirishima was sure he was the only one  to get decent sleep. Bakugo's hair was a mess, and he was wearing his own Crimson Riot hoodie, and gray sweatpants. He had two bandages along his jawline, three on his neck, and even more on chest, though they weren't visible now. He grabbed onto one of Bakugo's bandaged hands, trying not to squeeze to hard, as he replayed the events once more.
----------------------------------------------
He remembered how it all started, only with a simple text message. Bakugo had wanted him to stop by his dorm.

hey, can you come over

                                          Sure, why?
Katsuki🥰 is typing..

Kirishima had never got a response from that, so he headed there quickly.
The door was open, which he thought was odd, but what was more odd, was that he didn't see Bakugo anywhere.
"Katsuki? Where are you? If you're trying to scare me, it won't work!"
It was then when he noticed the letter on the floor. He read it, and he read it, and he read it again. He felt tears welling up in his eyes, and he crumpled
on the ground. He suddenly realized the warning signs. Bakugo would have scratches and scabs, but would blame them on training. He pulled out his phone to text Bakugo.

katsuki
katsuki
katsuki
where are you
im worried
katsuki please
where
are
you
im getting Todoroki and Midoriya
please

He put down his phone and read the letter again. He texted Todoroki to bring Midoriya, and fast.
He was waiting outside the door, when he saw a tired looking Todoroki and Midoriya jogging towards him. He took them into Bakugo's dorm and had them read the letter. He couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so he turned away. He remembered when Todoroki said he could be dead already, he thought he could feel his heart sinking. He tried to keep it together, he didn't want Midoriya and Todoroki to worry about him, Bakugo was their priority. He can't remember much after that, everything was dazed. But what he could remember was how Bakugo looked when he found him. He was curled against the row of bushes, a lighter and a razor blade lightly held in his right hand. He immediately took the blade from Bakugo, and moved the lighter out of his reach. He had never seen this look on Bakugo. Fear. Weakness. Raw pain. He kneeled down beside him, and took his hand.
"Katsuki.."
Bakugo didn't respond, he just looked at him with helpless eyes, and broke down. He waited a bit to get Midoriya and Todoroki, he needed to look closer at Bakugo. He was wearing only the grey sweatpants we wore for training. There was a hoodie next to him, he moved it to look at it. It was a Crimson Riot hoodie.
' So that's where that went.'
Usually it was himself stealing Bakugo's clothes. The cuffs of the sleeves were charred. Bakugo had burn marks on his chest, and scratches along his arms. Some of them were still bleeding. He called over Midoriya and Todoroki a few times while comforting Bakugo. He tried to calm him down, while also calming himself down. He tried to let his mind wander, to school, to training, to anything. He found himself thinking about when Bakugo had first asked him out. He found himself speaking aloud, while Bakugo was steadily calming down. "It was a few months ago, March second to be exact, we were doing homework, and talking about..about..Well, I don't remember, but I remember you just casually slipped in 'oh, by the way, I like you.' And then kept talking. I remember feeling like my heart exploded, and I didn't know what to say, or, or what to do, so I, I just leaned over and kissed you. I didn't know what to expect, but I did it. And you, you, you were a little shocked, but-But you didn't turn away, and then I was the shocked one. Then I guess, I guess, we just kinda understood that we-we we're together, because we held hands for the rest of the time. Did I ever mention you have really soft hands? And then we, we started to hang out all the time, and It was great every time, even when we were with other people, Kami, Sero, Mina, Anyone. I got to see a side of you that not many people see, and it's great. I remember when we-when we told everyone about us, and-and no one was surprised, and you were so annoyed, and when Mina said it was pretty obvious, I thought you were gonna kill her.. and when Midoriya said congrats, I was surprised you didn't even yell at him! You are a better boyfriend than I could have ask-asked for. You're great-scratch that, amazing, no, the best boyfriend, and I-I don't know how I could have gone on without you...Babe, Katsuki, I love you." He had only realized then Midoriya and Todoroki were standing beside him. He felt himself pulling Bakugo up, and him leaning on his shoulder and supporting him by throwing his arm over his shoulders. He wasn't sure if Bakugo was conscious, but he didn't bother with that, as he was trying to conscious himself. Before he knew it he was in Bakugo's dorm, and laying beside him on a his bed. Kirishima tried to rack his brains for what happened after that, but he couldn't remember anything after that. The next thing he remembered was being asleep next to Bakugo, everything was a blur. He could feel Bakugo stirring and whispering a little in his sleep. He did that a lot, usually quite characteristic things like, '..Go to hell..' or '...You bastard...' or 'damn you..'. Kirishima always thought it was cute, and would whisper back 'yeah, I love you too.' But this time it was different, things like 'fucking idiot' 'you screwed up' 'you should have got it over with quicker' He wrapped his arms around Bakugo's waist, and didn't let go for the rest of the night.
----------------------------------------------
When he woke up, Todoroki and Midoriya were gone, and there was note on the couch.

'went to school, didn't want to raise suspicion. stay here, its better -todoroki'

It made sense, with all four of them missing, it would be a lot more suspicious, yet it would still be a little suspicious with Bakugo and himself missing. But, he needed to stay here. He started to make some coffee, and heard Bakugo getting up. Bakugo came up behind him, and wrapped him in a hug and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you Ejirou."
He felt something cold running down the back of his neck. Tears.
"Of course. Lay down, I'll bring you some coffee." Kirishima wanted to push back the past events, and just relax for now, but he doubted that would happen. Bakugo sat down on the bed, and he Kirishima came over with two cups of coffee.
"Thanks babe." Bakugo took a sip. Kirishima knew just how he likes his coffee. Dark coffee with a little bit of milk and sugar.
"Let me see your arms." Bakugo set down his coffee and turned over his arms to Kirishima. They were mostly in bandages, but where there weren't, there were lines of red, exposed skin. Bakugo's face was turned away. "I'm sorry.."
"For what? Look at me? For what?" He pulled Bakugo's face towards him and kissed him. Bakugo started to cry, and fell into Kirishima's lap.
