The Promise Ring - Kiribaku

A promise ring can mean many things but one sticks out amongst them all;

I promise to always love you.

Includes;
- Angst.
- Language.
- Slight fluff, I think.
- Mature content.

(3rd Person)

Kirishima left the store, fiddling with the ring in his hand.

He nervously made his way back to the dorms.

Each step he took made his heart beat faster. And with every passing minute, he felt as if he was about to pass out.

Once he had finally arrived, he stepped inside, noticing everyone gathered around the TV, watching some random show.

'Please don't notice me, please don't notice m--'

Next thing he knew, he was in the elevator on his way to his floor without getting noticed by any of his friends.

The doors opened, he stepped out and heard it close behind him.

Kirishima slowly made his way over to his boyfriend's door and he knocked.

'Oh my God, I knocked. I knocked, abort mission. There's noises, this was a bad idea--'

The door opened, revealing a tall-ish looking teenager with ash blonde hair all over and red eyes piercing down at the redhead.

Seeing it was Kirishima and not some fucking extra, Bakugou's face softened and he felt himself relax just a tiny bit. "What do you need?"

The blonde flinched at how rude that sentence may have sounded but it was Kirishima, the guy he's been insulting 24/7 and yet, now they're dating.

"I uh-- I wanna give you uhm, something... Yeah. So lemme in!" Without waiting to hear Bakugou's response, Kirishima pushed the door open all the way and squeezed his way past the blonde.

...

The two were sitting on the bed in silence, Bakugou holding the ring in his right hand as he glanced to Kirishima who held his in his left. "We're too young to get married, dumb hair."

"W-What?! No! That's-- That's not what this is for!!"

"Then why would I wear some stupid ring?" Bakugou rolled his eyes.

"It's not just a stupid ring, it's a promise ring!!" Kirishima defended, looking up at his boyfriend.

"What does that even fucking mean?!" The blonde spat, looking away from his boyfriend and down at the ring in his hand.

"It's a sign of commitment. A serious relationship, Bakugou." Kirishima started as he slowly took the ring out of Bakugou's hand and placed it on the blonde's middle finger. "I promise to always love you."

Bakugou blushed and looked away. After a few seconds of calming down, without looking, he gently took the ring and placed it on the middle finger of Kirishima's hand. "Yeah, sure."

Bakugou looked down at his boyfriend and felt his heart flutter at the way his eyes lit up. Kirishima looked back up and spoke.

"That means as long as you're still wearing that ring, I know that you still love me! And as long as I'm wearing this, I still love you!"

"Right, shitty hair. Sure, okay."

...

The two broke up just before their second year for reasons other's decide not to speak of, yet they still remained best friends. They told each other to wait until they're ready to give it a try again, and so, Kirishima dreamed of being the one Bakugou cared for once more.

Kirishima still keeps the promise ring on because he thought he still had that spark for his best friend. Same with Bakugou, only the blonde was sure about his feelings.

Walking down the hall and talking to Kaminari about his plans for the weekend, Kirishima spots Bakugou up ahead of them.

"Hey, man. I'll see you later tonight, alright? I gotta catch up with blasty!"

"Yeah, sure. See you then."

Kirishima ran up to the ash blonde and smiled. "Yo, dude. What're you doing this weekend?"

"None of your damn business." Bakugou spoke, scrolling through his phone.

Kirishima felt that pang in his chest from when they broke up and he looked down at the ring that was still on his hand.

Bakugou noticed this and immediately went to take the redhead's hand in his. "Hey, you're still waiting for me, right?"

Kirishima smiled at that and squeezed the other's hand in reassurance, noticing that Bakugou still had his ring on as well. "Of course I am!"

...

A few months had passed and the two were talking.

"So do you like him?" Bakugou asked in the softest, caring voice he could put on.

"I--I don't know. She's so kind and she makes me happy." Kirishima spoke, smiling to himself as he looked down at the math paper in front of him.

"Well what about Mina? Didn't you say you think she likes you?" Bakugou asked.

"Well, yeah, Mina's been really clingy and lovey with me, but then there's her. She's so sweet and kind to me and she makes me really happy. And then there's you...--"

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, I just don't know what to do with her, man." Kirishima spoke, fiddling with his fingers.

Bakugou took a deep breath in, ignoring the constant aching in his chest. He took Kirishima's hand in his and looked him in the eye.

"Listen, Kirishima." He began, ignoring the pain in his chest that was becoming unbearable by the second. Bakugou slowly moved his fingers towards the promise ring around Kirishima's finger before slowly starting to take it off.

Kirishima panicked and grabbed the blonde's wrist with a confused look. "Wha-- What are you doing?"

Bakugou sighed but continued to take the ring off. Since he was stronger than the redhead, the ring came off in less then a minute. The blonde put it in his pocket and once again, took Kirishima's hand.

Before he spoke, he looked down at his own ring that was still on his finger. He took a deep breath and spoke, "Kirishima..."

He stopped, noticing Kirishima looked upset. "W-Why'd you take my ring?"

"Because I don't want to look at it and be left with the hope that we'd be together again. I don't want to believe that you still love me just by looking at the ring even though it'll never happen and I don't want to be left believing it so stop fucking pretending you still care about me when you go on and talk about all of these other people as if we never even FUCKING happened in the FIRST PLACE!" After his rant, he forced himself to calm down and gently squeezed the other's hand, ignoring the sting in his eyes.

"Look, Kirishima. I'm always going to be here for you because--because I'm your best friend. I'm not going to leave you, so if this fucking chick breaks your heart, I'll break her neck."

"Bakugou--"

"I'm serious, I'll snap it like a fucking toothpick."

"Bak--"

"It'll be so easy and will only take a seco--"

"Katsuki!"

"What?" Bakugou asked, looking over at his friend.

"Why won't you take off your promise ring?" Kirishima asked with an almost hurt but confused look in his eye. "Why are you still wearing it?"

'Because I still fucking love you and it hurts that I can't stop.' Was what he wanted to say but Bakugou only threw on a smile and stood up before walking out the door.

"Don't worry about it, shitty hair."
