are you in love?

❝ are you in love?
do you feel it in your stomach?
does it twist and turn and scream and burn
and start to make you cry, but you like it? ❞
-

every time kirishima saw the hot-headed blonde, his heart did backflips.

was this a normal thing that happened between two bros?

he couldn't pinpoint the exact moment this started, it just happened. one day, he just thought about bakugo. in a no no homo way.

when did bakugo look That good? when did his signature smirk make him want to k-

woah. kiss him? that's extreme.

-
❝ don't want to let it slip away
does it stretch into your throat
until you don’t know what to say? ❞ 
-

these feelings were new to kirishima. he never really felt like this about any girl or boy. it was confusing.

everyday it was getting harder and harder to suppress these feelings. he had to do something about them before it killed him.

or... he could try to forget these feelings.

key word: try.

-
❝ does it hold you under its pillow in the night?
it kills you with its passion
and its endless beam of light ❞ 
-

he couldn't take it anymore. it kept him up at night thinking about bakugo.

he had to tell him.

"hey blasty! i have something to tell you after class, meet me in my room."

"sure. i have something to tell you too, i guess."

the whole day, kirishima's stomach was in knots. would his confession ruin their friendship? what if bakugo didn't like him back? every possible situation went through his head.

-
❝ when you see yourself
in the future, frail and gray
who do you want beside you
when you wake to start your day? ❞ 
-

to cheer himself up, he thought of cute domestic situations the two would be in. waking up in each other's arms, whispering soft "i love you"s, just being in pure love.

he wanted that life. he wanted the life where everything was perfect and bakugo was there right beside him.

those thoughts kept him sane the whole day. maybe those dreams would come true!

did bakugo even like him like he liked him?

he was the only one that bakugo seemed to tolerate. they always hung out and bakugo seemed to enjoy it. maybe it was because they were friends.

did they have something special or did kirishima just misread it?

-
❝ yeah, it's extreme
i know what you're gonna say
i’m being too dramatic
but this feeling feels this way ❞ 
-

his heart was thumping and it felt like it would burst out of his chest.

it was finally time to confess! oh boy, he wasn't ready.

knock! knock!

"oi, shitty hair! open up!"

kirishima swallowed and slowly got up. his heart was hammering in his chest. he felt his throat close up. it wasn't the time! he couldn't chicken out! that would be unmanly!

he unlocked the door. bakugo entered with a scoff and sat on the bed.

"ok... what did you have to say to me."

"i- uh, from what i remember, you uh- had something to tell me too?"

"uh, yeah, i guess i do."

"well, here goes nothing... i think i have a fucking crush."

oh. that wasn't what he was expecting.

"oh? who is it?"

"fuck. promise not to tell anyone, ok?"

"of course, bro!"

"god, uh, it's that fucking icy hot."

oh. oh god. kirishima's heart was hammering and his throat started to close up again, for a completely different reason. he barely said anything, but it was already going downhill.

"well i guess you could say he really puts the hot in icy hot! heh!" he hid his heartbreak through a joke. that's all he could do.

-
❝ are you in love?
do you feel it in your spine?
shaking, waking, tearing, breaking
taking its sweet time
but you want it ❞ 
-

"you said you had something to tell me too?"

"oh, ha, yeah! i was just gonna ask you for help on the math homework! i kinda zoned out during class, ha!"

"that's all? yeah, i'll help."

kirishima would've been happy to hang out with bakugo, but not now. he felt like a shell of who he was. he barely felt human.

was this what heartbreak felt like?

-
❝ yeah, you need it just to breathe
you're never sure of what trick
it's pulling from its sleeve ❞ 
-

maybe bakugo was joking. that was a dumb idea. he wasn't one for jokes and why would he joke about that anyways.

it was just his stupid mind trying to get over it.

it hurt his heart to see bakugo again after that. it hurt even more to see bakugo and todoroki together. he noticed bakugo slowly trying to make moves and shoot his shot.

it was like bakugo ripped out his heart and stomped on it.

-
❝ if you said yes
to all the things above
then yes, my friend, I'm sorry
it appears you are in love ❞ 
-

kirishima was in love with bakugo. a boy that wouldn't love him back.
