Healing Together

Part 14

"Kacchan", Midorya stood frozen in shock when he was hugged by the other boy. A boy that had made his life a living hell some times but he had still admired him and liked him. Bakugo had always been like an older brother to him. Well an older brother that he had a really bad relationship with but a brother anyways. He had never hated him because he knew what pressure the boy had put on himself. His behaviour was shitty tho. But still. He had known him his whole life and he knew better than to judge him.

When Bakugo apologized Midorya started crying silently.

"Why...", he started to stammer but Bakugo didn't let him finish that statement but pulled back to look at the boy in front of him.

"Do you really need to ask that? Because I don't think you do. I have been an absolute asshole to you for the last decade and longer. I have hurt you. Mostly emotionally and that makes it even worse. I tried to stop you from wanting to become a hero because I was afraid. Afraid that I could never be the best when you were there. Because let's be honest you are the best person in this world. Right after Eijirou. I was the worst and that is just plainly not acceptable but you have not once in my life let me down. Never. You were always there to support me although I pushed you down time and time again. You should have let me deal with myself long ago but you never did. And I think that I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for you always pushing me to be even better or coming to save my ass when I fucked up. I know I don't deserved any of this. I don't deserve so many things that I have and so many people in my life. Especially Eijirou. I mean look at him. He is the god damn best human in the world I have no idea why he is keeping up with me. But my point is that I know I was cruel and I am really fucking sorry. I am not saying that I am going to be the best version of me from now on but I will do the fucking best to try and change for good. And I would really want to start over with this friendship. If you want that is... I mean I could totally see if you didn't want to but I figured I could just ask you and -"

"Kacchan", Midorya silenced him "I forgive you. I know it's not okay but I forgave you a long time ago. And I would really like to start over".

"Really now?"

"Yes", Midorya smiled at him "I am really glad that you try to change for good. Not that you were bad like you are but...".

"I get it Deku", he said rolling his eyes then looking apologetic "this was a lot for me so please don't expect wonders".

"Taking small steps is perfectly fine", Kirishima stood behind him and rested his chin on Bakugo's shoulder "I am so fucking proud of you, babe!"

"Thanks", Bakugo turned his head to kiss his temple"you can be proud of yourself tho because I think you changed me a lot to make this decision".

"Okay I know this is a really emotional moment for you but I am dying over here Kiri", Mina spoke up suddenly "how could you not tell me that you started dating Bakugo?"

"Um... well", Kirishima turned around and scratched the back of his head "because I was afraid to live through middle school all over again. Well but because of Mineta I was kinda triggered...".

"Where is that little fucker anyway?", Bakugo looked around the room but couldn't see him.

"I taped him and Iida went to hand him over to Aizawa-sensei", Sero explained.

"Thanks man", Kirishima said.

"I am so sorry you had to live through that hell again, sweetie", Mina pouted.

"Thanks Mina", Kirishima smiled at her softly "but I promise to tell you everything".

"Oh well then let's start with the fact you had sex without telling me a single word", Mina glared at him.

"I didn't have sex", Kirishima blushed as red as his hair and made wide eyes.

"But Bakugo said he has seen you naked", Mina stated.

"Yeah but I never said we had sex. That pervert just assumed things", Bakugo shrugged.

"I don't know if I want to know why you have seen him naked", Kaminari thought out loud.

"You do know that we bath together right?", Bakugo raised a brow "I have seen all of you guys naked before".

"I feel like this isn't the whole story", Mina grinned.

"Well...", Bakugo smirked and Kirishima's blush intensified "we didn't have sex tho".

"For now", Kirishima whispered and now it was Bakugo's turn to blush but he smiled at his boyfriend showing him that he was happy to share this experience with him soon.

"Yeah whatever", Kaminari interrupted their talk "I am just really glad that you could talk about it now. And I am sure that Mineta will get punished for being like that".

"Yeah, I am sure he will", Sero agreed "just know that we fully support you".

"That really means a lot to me guys", Kirishima smiled at them, glad that they were a lot more tolerant than the guys from his old middle school.

"I am really glad that you make Kacchan so happy", Midorya spoke softly "I haven't seen him like this since we were three and All Might had just saved all those people from the bus. Maybe he wasn't even as happy back then as he is now."

"Shut up, nerd", Bakugo mumbled without any venom in his words but rather embarassed.

"Oh that's so cute tho, babe", Kirishima cooed and Bakugo huffed slightly "you make me really happy too".

Bakugo looked at him and smiled. He was sure that he would never in his entire life understand how he was lucky enought to get to love Kirishima Eijirou.
