Mistakes (Kiribaku)

I Promise

(So, the original got deleted but I'm going to try to recreate it!)

Kirishima's P.O.V

It had only been a few hours and our lives turned upside down. One hour, I'm meeting my soon to be boyfriend to ask him out and Mina was happily dating Sero and the next, we both are crying into pillows. It happened so fast I didn't want to believe it was real but the later into the night it became, the angrier I became. Then I would release that anger by sobbing harder. Mina was trying her hardest to be positive about the situation but anytime show would say anything, she would burst into tears and fall back to the pillow. We got to the point of being able to sit up and watch TV silently, the occasional sniffle or sob emitting from our mouths. I was the one to break the silence.

"Can we make a promise?" I asked, staring at my folded legs. She paused the show and looked at me confused. "Yeah. What's up?" I smiled gently for the first time in a few hours. "Promise that we will always be there for each other?" I looked up and held my pinkie out to her, tears slipping down my face. Her face switched from confusion to tears in a second before she gently latched her pinkie on mine. "I promise." She sobbed, going to wipe her face again. "Wow, you'd think by now I wouldn't have anymore mascara on but it keeps coming off every time I wipe my eyes." She giggled. A sad laugh but a laugh none the less. "You know, with the makeup from earlier, I thought I was wiping my skin off for a second." I laughed.

"Who needed those boys anyways?" She laughed. We went silent and stared at each other then broke into tears again. "What's wrong with me?" She sobbed, falling onto me. I hugged her close and sobbed into her shoulder. "Nothing. He didn't deserve you." I could feel her shaking against me, sobbing her eyes out. She hasn't dated anyone since freshman year or high school because of what her last boyfriend did to her. She really thought he was a good guy if she dated him. Laying back on the bed, she unpaused the show we were watching. We laid there silently just letting the tension grow between us. We didn't need anyone. We had each other. It's all we needed.

About an hour later, we had blown through a movie and a half, a large pepperoni pizza, two tubes of Pringle's, an entire box of cosmic brownies and a two liter of Coke. We were eating our hearts out, crying and watching and eating and sobbing and repeating the process. The best way to spend a Friday night. We had pulled ourselves together and actually began to enjoy each other's company, laughing and having a good time. Our Netflix and food time was interrupted by a knock at my dorm door. Pausing the TV, I answered the door and immediately wished I didn't.

Sero and Bakugou were standing there, tears streaming down their faces and drunk out of their minds. Sero came stumbling into my dorm, pushing past me and walked towards Mina, his arms outstretched. From the sight of him, she became a wreck, sobbing and screaming her heart out. He immediately went to comfort her which made her sob harder. Bakugou just stood there staring at my bookcase across from my bed. He started silently crying, heaving forward silently. I rolled my eyes and went to Mina trying to pry Sero off of her. "Sero, get the fuck off of her before I kick your ass." I went to open my mouth and stopped when I heard that. I turned around and saw him standing there, an anger filled look on his face. "What do you mean bro, she's crying. I need to comfort her." He slurred, holding on tighter. "Sero, get off of her. Now." He didn't raise his voice but something sent a shock through him as he let go of her and stood by her. She fell back onto my bed, her face smashed into a pillow.

"Now, both of you leave." I said. I didn't even notice I was crying until my vision went blurry. "I'm sorry." He sobbed, hugging me. "Bakugou. Leave." My voice was cracking and I couldn't stop the tears now. "I know. I'm leaving. Just know I didn't mean to hurt you." He looked down at his shoes before he grabbed Sero by the hood of his jacket and dragged him out of the dorms with the quiet click of my door. I looked over at Mina, her sobs quieter and muffled by the pillow. I flopped on the bed beside her, turning off the lights and unpausing the TV, not bothering to change into my pajamas. I was too emotionally drained to do anything. With my head in the pillow, I held up my pinkie in the air and tapped Mina's hand. "Promise?" I asked. She latched her pinkie with mine.

"I promise."
