Far Away (BakuDeku)

Chapter 7

KIRISHIMA POV
I wave my goodbyes and head to Recovery-Girls office. The halls are empty and sounded only by my heavy footsteps. I guess everybody is resting up after our encounter with the league. Everyone tried their hardest and did so well in the end, I'm very proud of them. I noticed that Kaminari has gotten a better hold on his quirk after these past couple years. He no longer shorts his brain out after using too much. It makes him so strong. The way he fights is so cool too, he incorporates his quirk into moves that kids have probably only imagined in stories. Like, he can point and shoot electricity! That's. So. Cool.
He seems really happy with Shinso. I'm happy for him. I am his best friend so I guess I kinda have to be. But I find myself with lingering eyes whenever they're together. Staring at linked hands or arms over shoulders. There's always a little hint of something in my chest. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I do have my suspicions. Jealousy. Like Shinso shouldn't be the one linking hands or putting his arm around my best friend. 'Stop, you're in a relationship and you're happy.' Though, I find myself saying this far too often. Not about Bakugo though. He's been perfect to me and I haven't been happier. I just can't help the small feelings that arise when I see my best friend with another.

THREE MONTHS AGO EIJIRO POV

The floor of Kaminari's room is, oddly, very comfortable. He keeps a soft carpet clean and somehow it never loses its fluff. There's beanbags to sit on but I prefer the floor. "Okay1 I'm for sure gonna beat you this time!" The thing about Kaminari is, he sucks that video games. He loves to play them all the time, but he never actually wins. "Sure, you said that the last five times Kami," Unfortunately for Kaminari, I dominate at Mario Cart. "And that is another loss for you." The yellow haired boy groans and flops over onto the carpet. "Why are you so good at this Kiri?! It's not fair." I laugh at his whining, "Maybe you should practice more." The other boy lights up, "You're right! Let's play one more time!" I sigh, "Kaminari, I told you I can't stay long, and that was four games ago! How bout we see if Shinso can play?" I feel like my suggestion is good. It's time for them to spend together and I can go study. "But Kiriiiiii, he doesn't like to play video games with me! Plus I wanna spend time with you!" Kaminari whines out. Another sigh, "...One more game." Although I'm wasting precious study time, the glowing look on Kaminari's face makes it all better.

EIJIRO NOW

It's funny how persuading Kaminari can be at times. As much of an idiot he can be, he knows enough to get what he wants. People say that he's not smart, but he has to at least know something considering he passed the U.A. Entrance exam, plus he's made it all the way to third year. He's not a complete idiot. It always makes me angry when people say he's dumb, or an idiot, or brainless.
My thoughts are quickly cut short by my arrival at Recovery Girl's office. There should be nothing to be afraid of, let's do this. With no hesitation, I open the heavy wooden door.
The cool touch of the doorknob against my hand is the only thing grounding me at the sight ahead. A wave of dread washes over me. I feel cold and numb. But... there's some.. relief?
I always had a feeling that if he ever came back, it'd be over.
My boyfriend. Katsuki Bakugo. He's not one that many easily understand, let alone like. He's loud, and has a tendency to be rude to others. He has ash blond, spiky, yet soft hair. His eyes are a beautiful crimson. He's found himself in many hospital beds in the past, from many fights and upbringings that tend to arise while pursuing the life of a hero. My boyfriend. Katsuki Bakugo. With his hair, his eyes, everything I've come to know. Has found himself once again in a hospital bed. This time, embracing a green haired boy.
