I'll Be There (KIRIBAKU)

19

   He was hoping for some normality this weekend, as he waited in the reception for Ashido to arrive. He had woken up early, and hoped that he would arrive before her, but he forgot how boring the wait could be.

   "Are you going to be watching more cat videos?" asked Uraraka, typing away on her laptop, and glancing at a notebook for a couple moments.

   "Nah," he shrugged. "Do you think Bakugou will ever not be angry at me again?" he asked.

   "He'll move on," she shrugged. "It is always better to talk about it, but if he doesn't want to, then it is best to not press it. We don't want any more anger bursts, so it is best to leave him to it for now," she said. 

   "Alright," he nodded. "I just wished he'd be more friendly. He doesn't have to glare, even if he is angry at me," he sighed. "He doesn't have to insult and curse for every sentence too," he said.

   "Sure, but it isn't like he can help it," she said. "It happens, you know?"

   "Yeah," he sighed. "He's just human too," he nodded.

   "Yep! Anyway, I think we should watch funny fail compilations together," she smiled, closing her laptop. "I don't really have work to do, so mind if I watch with you?" she asked.

   "Definitely not!" he laughed, patting the seat next to him as an invitation. "Choose which one you want to watch," he said, after having searched. 

   "Thanks," she said, choosing a fail compilation with animals. 

   They laughed at the first video of a dog attempting to jump on a bed, but bouncing back to the floor. They made it through about ten videos, before Ashido came through the door, grinning like usual.

   "I'm back!" she announced, hugging them from where they were, and then pulling back to look at what they were doing. "Oh! I've seen that one before," she said.

   "It's funny," he shrugged, smiling. "Welcome back," he added.

   "Thanks! How has your week been?" she asked.

   Kirishima's smile faltered, and then he sighed. "I guess it was... bad? Not that bad, but it wasn't great either," he said.

   "Wha- No way! What happened? Did you fall? Did you break a bone- What-!"

   "Bakugou's been super angry since last Sunday, and we couldn't get him to calm down at all this week, and he's still pissed off," he sighed. "Lessons have not been fun."

   "Thankfully, he stormed out most of the time," said Uraraka. "Deku and Iida told me that you usually joined them after he leaves."

   "Ah, yeah," he nodded. "That part was good," he smiled. 

   "At least it wasn't all negative," nodded Ashido, smiling slightly. "Do you have any idea why he is angry? He seems like the guy who screams all his problems at others," she said.

   "Ah-"

   "Hum."

   "Is he the opposite?" she asked, frowning. "I guess I'm not that good at guessing people's actions," she sighed. "I can see that now though," she shrugged. "Maybe things would have already been resolved if he was that kind of angry guy," she said.

   "Probably," nodded Uraraka. "I think that right now, he's just angry for the sake of being angry. Like... his real reason died down, and now he's just pissed off because he's angry," she chuckled.

   "He won't be like before if he doesn't talk about it," she said. "Ei, you've tried talking to him?"

   "Obviously. He either glares, shouts, or storms out. You know I have a weak heart around him," he sighed, regretting his choice of words right after he blurted them out.
