The Truth (kiribaku)

Chapter 4

Kirishima's POV

Bakugou looks kind of weird today. I mean, maybe not weird, but tired. He has tired-looking eyes. His hair is wild and sticking out in every direction. He looks cool, even when tired. Maybe even a little cute. I lay my head against the wooden desk and watch the blond next to me. The shining sun forms an outline of the boy's body and makes him look glittery. Is it weird to think of another boy this way? I am not quite sure. Well, I don't think I want to change anything between us, because everything is perfect the way it is.

Suddenly Bakugou turns his head and locks his eyes at me. We have brief eye contact until Bakugou turns his head back to the window. I am glad that his parents want to meet me. Sure, I was a little surprised at first, but now I can't wait. Visiting friends is the best!

Finally, break time. The other classmates immediately start the familiar chatter and some leave the class, usually either in the bathroom or outside. I take a look at Bakugou. He hasn't moved an inch and is sitting behind his desk, staring at the schoolyard.

"Bakugou, do you want to go out?" I ask and lean on the Bakugou's desk.

"Fine," Bakugou mutters and stands up. I nod and guide us out of the classroom into the hallway. I walk in a little distance ahead and Bakugou walks after me with his hands in his pockets. Now would probably be a good time to ask him more. I don't know much about him, even though we get along well.

"Hey Bakugou! Are there any girls in our class who seem interesting to you?" I ask with a grin on my face. This is something that has been pondering me for quite some time, as Bakugou doesn't talk about girls or love.

"No," Bakugou says looking at his shoes.

"Oh. Well, do you have anyone you like?" I ask. Maybe his crush is in a different class.

"Maybe," Bakugou mutters and I notice a little blush rising along the boy's cheeks. Aha, I knew it, he has someone he likes.

"Okay, well what is she like?" I inquire and slow down my pace so that we can walk side by side.

"They are stupid, too loud and have red hai-" Bakugou stops in the middle of his sentence and covers his mouth with his hand. Aah, he probably thinks this conversation is embarrassing. I understand.

"Oh, does she have red hair? Cool! I wonder if I have met anyone with red hear who also goes to UA," I say.

"What is her name?" I ask.

"K-," Bakugou slams his hand again in front of his mouth and glares at me.

"Don't ask anymore! I can't control what I'm saying," Bakugou growls and looks at me angrily. He can't control what he's saying? What does he mean by that?

"So her name starts with the letter K. Interesting..." I muttered to myself. Bakugou clicks his tongue and starts walking at a faster pace.

"Let's go already," Bakugou mumbles. I see a little redness at the ends of his ears. A fever?

Bakugou's POV

Kirishima you idiot! Why do you keep asking about embarrassing things, and when I am under a quirk?!

Freaking bonehead.

I don't even know why I said something so weird. I don't even have a crush. Or do I? I am not quite sure. I haven't paid attention to things like that before.

And what do you mean by red hair and with a name that starts with the letter K. That sounds like Kirish-.

I punch myself mentally.
