Tough Love (Kirishima Eijiro X Mina Ashido)

Unbreakable (Heart)

After The Shie Hassaki Raid

As I walked through the doors of the dorms, I looked around for Mina. Seeing her, we ran to each other. My right arm was still in a cast due to my fight with Fatgum against Rappa. I had been laid up for about a week before I insisted to leave. Recovery Girl had healed what she could, but the battle itself had zapped a lot of my stamina, so I was left with my arm in a cast. As I approached Mina, she slowed down. "Welcome back, High School Debut Man." she said, tears in her eyes. I hadn't been able to tell her about the raid, as per Nighteyes orders, so she didn't know why I was gone til word got to all the students that me, Deku, Lemillion, Suneater, Uraravity, Froppy, and Nejire-Chan had been in the battle. I had only talked to her once, right after the battle, over the phone.

"It's Red Riot." I said, tears coming to my eyes too. She hugged me, careful of my arm, and I used my free arm to hug her as tightly as I could. "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you, Mina. I'm so sorry." She rubbed the back of my head, hushing me.

"It's okay. I understand, Eijiro." she said, crying into my neck. I did the same to her, holding her. After several minutes, we seperated after a kiss. "So, you'll have to tell me. How'd you break your arm?" We sat on the couch and I told her the story, Kaminari and Jiro sitting nearby. "Aww! You were thinking about me even then?"

"I think it was my life flashing before my eyes." I said, smiling. She puffed out her cheeks, pouting.

"I was trying to be romantic." she said. "Did that Rappa guy give you brain damage?"

"Nah. I'm just fucking around." I said, grinning. She laughed, resting her head on my chest. Her hands went to my shoulders, holding onto me. "You good, Mina?"

"Just..." she said, sniffing. She looked up, tears streaming down her face. "Why did you have to be such a hero, Eijiro? You scared me to death, you blockhead!" I smiled, wiping her tears.

"I learned from the best, after all." I said, pushing my forehead against hers. We sat there for a while, then Mina stood up, pushing on my shoulders.

"We're going to my dorm for pizza." she said, pulling me up. "You get no say in this." I smiled and followed her.  As we walked towards the elevator, Bakugou was standing there, his arms crossed.

"Yo." I said, smiling. He looked up at me, his eyes piercing me.

"Why is it, that you always stick your neck out for other people, Shitty Hair?" he asked, tilting his head to the side slightly. "Deku, I get. He's stupid. But I thought you had a brain in that head of yours. Guess it's all just hair." He walked past me, patting me on the shoulder. I smiled, looking back at him. I closed my eyes as Mina continued to escort me to her dorm. Was he standing here just to make sure I was okay? 

(HEY! I didn't forget about you guys and this story. I've just kinda put other stories as my focus, but I'll try to write more for this story)
