Someone You Loved {KiriBaku/BakuShima Fanfic}

Chapter VII

     "Hey Bakugou, you alright?" Kirishima waved a hand in front of the distracted boy's face. Slowly blinking, Bakugou got out of his unusual daze.

"I'm fine. Just a little tired," Bakugou replied with a yawn. Kirishima chuckled as he stood up to stretch his back.

"Me too. Wanna take a break?" He went over to a bookshelf and scanned through them. Bakugou shook his head.

"Nah. If we take a break now, we won't ever get finished with this shit."

"True."

Kirishima was the last one at Katsuki's house. Mina went home early and Kaminari and Sero decided to take a break, and left. Never to come back.

After a while, they finished their assignments and laid on the carpeted floor, looking up at the ceiling.

"Bakugou?"

"Hm?"

"Can I call you Katsuki?" Kirishima asked innocently. Bakugou flinched involuntarily. No matter how he looks at it, Mitsuki is similar to Katsuki, so the name Katsuki always reminded him of his mother. He thought it was cheesy because they mean different things, but it didn't matter because he still missed his mom...

"I don't give a fuck," he stated. He needed to move on and he knows that. He won't ever forget Mitsuki, just push her to the back of his mind where most of his childhood memories went.

"Yay! You can call me Eijirou!" He pumped a fist out in front of him and giggled, making the blonde blush a bit.

"Stop being so damn cute..." Bakugou mumbled softly, though becoming very flustered afterwards.

"What'd you say?"

"Nothing, shitty hair. You're imagining things." Bakugou deadpanned, turning away from the boy and bringing a hand to his face out of embarrassment.

Minutes of silence went by, and Kirishima, sometime during, dozed off. His soft snores alarmed him and made him sit up abruptly.

He gazed at the sleeping boy with wide eyes, his mouth half open, tempted to say something, but decided to stay silent. His eyes went to his spiky hair. The back must be messed up because he was laying on it, and the rest of his hair seemed parallel to the ground.

Carefully, Bakugou crawled to Kirishima and sat on his knees, staring down at the sleeping boy. He poked his cheek, making it jiggle a little. This caused Bakugou to smile mischievously and hold back a laugh. He then started to mess up his hair. The gel and hairspray making it feel crunchy as he moved it, which again, almost made him laugh again. He couldn't figure out why it felt so soft the other day when it's drowned in hair products all the time.

He felt... really peaceful like that. Sitting there playing with a sleeping Kirishima hairstyle. The quietness of the house for the exception of a pounding heartbeat that rang in his ears. Relaxed.

It didn't last long though. As soon as he twisted the last solid lock, his eyes went back to his face and... they made eye contact.

With a gasp, Bakugou put his hand over his mouth, attempting to cover his pink and flustered face. His brows furrowed and his eyes tried to glare but ended up looking away in the end. He scrambled away until he fled the room. He went down the hall to the bathroom and locked the door. He whipped around and gasped in shock at his face.

His face was as red as the shitheads hair, and hot to the touch. He splashed cold water on his skin, and felt better afterwards.

"Dumbass. You let your gay show too much," he growled at himself before slapping his cheeks to calm him down.

After a few more seconds, he sped back to the room, spotting the boy in front of his mirror, trying to 'fix' his already messed up hair. Catching Bakugou's reflection, he turned around with a smile that made all of his attempts to stay composed fail.

"You okay, man?" he asked almost shyly. Katsuki balled his hand and coughed into it.

     "Just great," he replied quietly. He walked towards his bed and face planted with a groan. Why did this have to happen today of all days?

     "You sure? You look kinda warm-"

     "I said I'm fine and dandy. It's nothing to worry about." Bakugou  rolled over with closed eyes and rubbed his forehead. "But there is something on my mind that has been bothering me."

     He felt the bed sink beside him and he turned the other way.

     "What is it? You can tell me anything!" he chirped really fucking happily. After a slow, deep breath he faced him and tried his best to keep eye contact, which was seemingly impressive of how hard it was.

     "Do you like guys?" Bakugou blurted. Now it was Kirishima's turn to blush. He must've been caught off guard by the question, so he had to think for a while of how to answer.

     'Why is it taking so long to answer? Does he not know? Did I come off too abrasive?' He thought for a second.

     "I'm just curious. You don't have to-"

     "Ye-Yeah... I'm gay..." Kirishima refused to look at the blond and a strained smile was tight on his lips. "That's also why I um—didn't have many friends."

     "Ahh... Makes sense now." Bakugou smirked, gaining back his earlier lost confidence.

     "What makes sense?" Kirishima asked, tilting his head and still looking off to the side.

     "Why you wanted to be friends with me. I'm a fucking catch so it's no wonder," he boasted jokingly. Eijirou chuckled.

     "Yeah, a catch for trouble." Smack. "Ow!"

     "No I'm not you asshole!" Bakugou pouted playfully.

     "But I guess you have a point. You are pretty cute," Kirishima laughed as he shifted from side to side.

     "I-I'm not cute dumbass! Get your eyes fixed!" Bakugou shouted embarrassed. Eijirou blinked for a moment before cackling. Bakugou pushed him off the bed and he rolled in the floor. "What's so fucking funny!?"

     "You're a total tsundere-"

     "Am not you fucktard!"

     "HAHAHA~"

     "FUCK YOU!"

     Kirishima sat up, offendedly crossing his arms. "Fuck me yourself you coward!" He got hit by a pillow and he lost his composure once again.

     "EIJIROU YOU BASTARD!"
