The Truth (kiribaku)

Chapter 1

Third-person POV

The classroom's light sliding door slides open and a student enters. An average-sized boy with a light-colored hair walks to the back of the classroom and throws himself into his seat. It's still early in the morning and no one else has yet had the time or the energy to show up. The boy sighs in a low voice and throws his bag on the desk.

It's quiet. If you listen carefully, you can hear birds chirping on the other side of the window. The sun is rising and the sky is radiating warm colors, sliding from a shade of orange to light red. Bakugou turns his head to the peaceful outside world. Morning is the time of the day that Bakugou enjoys the most. When everyone is asleep, it feels like you are the only person in the world. He closes his eyes and tries to enjoy the silence as much as he can before the other loud classmates arrive.

"Hey, stop it already!" a high squeak wanders from the hallway.

Deku. You can hear more laughter.

His friends.

"Of course. Who else could ruin my morning than Deku," Bakugou mutters to himself and buries his head behind his bag. The classroom's door slams open and a group of students squeezes in. Deku, Iida, Uraraka, and Todoroki. The same thing happens every day. Annoying. More students start to arrive and soon the room is filled with laughter and silly jokes. Bakugou digs his headphones out of his bag to cover up the futile conversations of the other classmates.

Bakugou flinches when he feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns his head up and focuses his gaze on a red-haired youngster. He has ridiculously looking hair that slams straight up in the air. On his face, he has the biggest smile that Bakugou can never imitate.

"Hey, Bakugou! What's up?" Kirishima asks in a cheerful voice and sits next to him. Bakugou clicks his tongue and turns his gaze to the opposite wall.

"Ah, you must be a little tired. I understand," Kirishima smiles understandingly and digs his textbook out of his bag. Maybe it was a little rude not to answer, especially when he's Kirishima. Other students are not interesting to Bakugou, but Kirishima is tolerable.

"Hmm. Maybe." Bakugou answers and turns his head to the smiling redhead. Kirishima nods and looks around to make sure others can't see.
"Here, Bakugou," Kirishima hands out a bar of chocolate.

"It may not help much, but at least it will give you the strength to cope with this lesson." Bakugou looks at the chocolate and reluctantly accepts it. He likes chocolate. Sweet always makes him feel better.

"Hmm," Bakugou replies as thanks and takes a bite. Kirishima shows his beautiful smile and turns his head to the other students.

"Here," Bakugou hands out the half-eaten bar of chocolate

"Oh, do you want to share it with me?" Kirishima asks excitedly.

"Mm," Bakugou says quietly and looks up at Kirishima. Kirishima shows off his wide smile and leans forward. He wraps his hand around Bakugou's wrist for support and takes a bite.
"Thank you Bakugou," Kirishima says, licking the spilled chocolate from his lips.

"Whatever," Bakugou growls and continues to enjoy the rest of the chocolate.

"Okay, let's get started," Aizawa slides open the sliding door and steps in. The class becomes completely silent. He looks tired. His skin is grayer than usual as well as his eye bags if that is even possible. His black thick hair is messed up and covering half of his face. Aizawa throws his yellow sleeping bag next to the teacher's desk and drags himself in front of the class.

"A normal day, nothing unusual has really happened. Let's try to keep going," Aizawa mumbles and turns around. He takes a chalk and writes the day's schedule on the class' blackboard. Bakugou focuses his attention on the board. Mathematics. Disgust spreads on Bakugou's face. Math was easy. For Bakugou, everything was easy, but he would rather practice his new fighting techniques and quirk than solve mathematical problems.

"Bakugou," Kirishima whispers and leans closer to Bakugou. Bakugou flinches again and turns his gaze towards the sound.

"Pretty boring day today, right?" Kirishima laughs and shows his sparkling smile. Bakugou takes his headphones from his ears and shoves them into his bag.

"Yeah," Bakugou says quietly and turns his head to Kirishima. A small smile reaches Bakugou's face. Smiles were rare for Bakugou, so this came as a surprise. Kirishima digs his math book out of his bag.

"Can you help me a little bit?" Kirishima asks, waving his book in front of him.

"There's time before math class starts, so can you teach me?" Kirishima lays his book in front of him and looks at Bakugou. Bakugou shrugs and moves his chair next to Kirishima's.

"This... and this," Kirishima shows the problems from the textbook and gives Bakugou a pen and a piece of paper. Bakugou rolls his eyes and begins to explain the problems.
A tiny bubble starts to form around the two boys. The bubble drowns everything and everyone that could interrupt them. Just two friends that become absorbed in their little world.

Maybe this day could become quite bearable.
