Cheer The Jock Up! // KiriBaku

"Five minutes break!"

Some went off to buy snacks, or food. 
A few others head to the restrooms.

◇

After finishing his business, he walks out of the bathroom stall and heads for the sinks. He washes his hands peacefully and moves to the hand-dryer--

But something shoves him hardly, and pins him against the tiled wall.
Within seconds, a familiar blonde is towering over him, with his face so close, he could see each individual eyelash.

"D-Dude-! What the hell--"
"Who the fuck do you think you are."
"U-Uhh...? E-Eijiro... Kirishima-?"
"Don't you dare fucking embarrass my team and I in the nationals..."
"Uh, sure-- That wasn't our plan-"
"Tryina be clever?"

Kirishima's cheeks were beginning to flush a light pink from the proximity. He recognized the blonde,-

'The captain.. Of the football team...'
'That guy I couldn't keep my eyes from...'
'Katsuki Bakugo... The leader of the Jocks.'

Bakugo's grip of Kirishima's shirt tightens and with mere force, he lifts Kirishima to his tip toes. He growls lowly.

"And fucking take the hint... That I don't do 'friendships'..." he growls. "Stay in your own fucking corner..."

And with that, he lets go. He turns his head with a scoff and begins to head back out,-
But Kirishima doesn't accept it.

"Wait-!"

He stops.

'Why did I stop.'
'I don't care.'

...

'What does he want to say--'

"Why do you stray yourself from people?"
"What the fuck do you care. Shove your questions up your ass, I don't give a fuck--"
"Are you scared of rejection-? I- I won't reject you-!"

He steps away from the wall and approaches slowly. He holds out a hand hesitantly, but his eyes and tone stayed benign.

"You don't have to be that way,--"

Bakugo slaps the hand away and furrows his eyebrows further.

"I don't need your fucking pity." 

He storms out of the bathroom as Kirishima stares at his own rejected hand.

That hurt...

No, not physically. Emotionally.

'I'm not giving up.'

After calming back down and recomposing himself, he steps out of the bathroom and meets Kaminari and Ojiro at a snacks stand.

◇

Bakugo climbs to his bed and shuts the curtain after shouting at everyone to not bother him.

He immediately buries his head into his pillow as he begs and scolds his heart to calm down.

'I'm fanboying.'
'EWH-'
'STOP IT. STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!'
'I HATE HIM. I HATE HIM. I HATE HATE HATE HIM-!'
'I FUCKING DESPISE HIM!'
