Chapter 34

Kirishima was brought back to the land by Bakugou. Once they had gotten out of the water, Bakugou quickly went ahead with CPR. He first started to pump his chest, which made a little progress.

He figured out that pumping the boy's chest did not do much at all, and instead had to move to the next step. The next step being mouth to mouth CPR. Bakugou did not really want to do it, or rather, he was too embarrassed to do it. However, he had no choice than to go on with it.

He slowly leaned in as he gently held Kirishima's nose and chin. Then his mouth touched Kirishima's, proceeding the mouth to mouth CPR on him. Even though it was just to rescue him, he still felt embarrassed about it, making him slightly blush.

Before he knew it, Kirishima started to slightly cough. Bakugou quickly let go, eyes sparkling in hope and relief.

"Kirishima!" He called out, relieved to see Kirishima cough out water.

"Ugh... w- where am I?" Kirishima soon mumbled after the water from the ocean escaped his body. He slowly sat up, holding a hand against his forehead. "Bakugou?!" He said in surprise when he saw him next to him.

Bakugou felt like tearing up, but his aggression let him keep it to himself. "Yeah, it's me, Shitty Hair." He said as he tried to keep the tears for himself and the urge to hug the boy.

"Seems like we ended up in a very bad situation, hehe..." Kirishima chuckled, but then a sudden gasp escaped his lips when he saw the wounds on Bakugou. "Bakugou! You're hurt!" He gasped out, taking him by the arm.

"It's fine..." Bakugou sighed out. "You're hurt too." He mentioned, making Kirishima notice his own wounds. "Several arrows hit you." He briefly explained.

"That's not important though!" Kirishima blurted out, his grip getting tighter on Bakugou's arm. "You're hurt! Your wounds should get treated!" He said as he stared into Bakugou's eyes. "We should get you to a hospital." He insisted, desperation flashing in his eyes.

Bakugou gulped. "What the fuck.."

"Huh?" Kirishima got confused by the sudden words from Bakugou.

"What the fuck!!" Bakugou shouted at the boy. "Why do you care for me?! Why?! You literally got fucking kidnapped! Do you even know what they were going to do to you?! How could you care more for me!?" He started shouting at the boy's face, anger showing through his voice and from his facial expression.

"You..." Bakugou panted out, looking down on the green grass. "You... You could have died." He told him, this time with a trembling voice. "You could have died! If I wasn't there on time, then you would have ended up dead! And it's all my fault!" His voice cracked midway as he spoke. He couldn't hold the tears any longer; they started to fill his eyes, eventually running down his rosy cheeks.

"If I didn't leave you alone that day. If only... If only I stayed by your side! Then none of this would have happened!" He cried out, grasping the grass on the ground. "You could have died! You could have died because of me! It's all my fault!" He cried even more out, more tears rolling down his cheeks, snot too.

"Bakugou." Kirishima gently called out to him, but was not heard from Bakugou's rambling.

"This would have never happened if I was with you! It's all my fault!" He cried out more.

"Bakugou." Kirishima called out once again, this time a bit louder. However, it was not heard.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." Bakugou surprisingly apologized, which was quite rare to hear. "Maybe I wasn't cut out to be the King anyway." He said at last. Those words made Kirishima angry, making him shout out his name for louder this time.

"Bakugou!" He shouted out his hand, springing both of his hands on Bakugou's cheeks, lifting the boy's face up. "Listen to me!" He told the boy, staring at his eyes. This time he could clearly see how much Bakugou had cried and how messy his facial expression was.

"It's not true." He carefully told him. "I think that you are the best King out there, Bakugou." He told him, a smile forming his lips as he spoke. "You know, I was really happy that you were the one who met me. I was really really happy. I am still happy that you are here with me." He told him. Bakugou listened in quietly, sniffling while the boy spoke.

"You were the only one who wasn't scared of me. You were the only one who didn't do me any harm. You were the one who saved me. That made me really happy." He let go of Bakugou's face, this time holding the boy's hands. "I'm even happy now. Just seeing you again made me really happy. Just seeing you come to my rescue me made me really happy." He chuckled, his smile brightening up their surroundings.

"Bakugou." Kirishima placed a hand on Bakugou's cheek again, to keep him from lowering his head. "You are a very brave king. None of this is your fault. You simply wanted to save the people. That is a very good king, and I'm sure many people think the same." He told him. Bakugou was still stunned from the comments he got. He had never received such sweet talk from anyone. This was all new to him.

"None of this was your fault. No one is blaming you for anything. You did your best, Bakugou." Kirishima said at last, still keeping the smile on his lips.

Bakugou swallowed hard. He felt like more tears were about to roll down his cheeks again. He tried to keep them in again, yet failed and let them down.

"W- Why?" Bakugou managed to say with his trembling voice. "Why do you care so much for me? Why?" He asked more detailed this time.

"Because you are Katsuki Bakugou. The one who saved me. The one who accepted me no matter which species I was." Kirishima told him. Bakugou found his words so comforting and kind, yet so gentle too. Even his smile was kind. It made all his worries vanish with no second thought.

"But also..." Kirishima started, slowly averting his eyes from him. Bakugou watched as the boy's eyes switched back to him. Kirishima opened his mouth.

"Because I love you."

Bakugou couldn't believe what he just had heard. He blinked multiple times, yet he still was clueless about the current situation they got into.

He loves me...

Loves me....

Kirishima loves me?!

The realization made him turn red, but before any thought entered his mind, something unexpected happened.

Kirishima leaned in, lips pressing against Bakugou's, leaving Bakugou more stunned. It wasn't a deep kiss, only a peck, and before he knew it, it was over. Kirishima slowly leaned away, only nose touching this time.

"Hey... do you like me too?" Kirishima asked him in a quiet tone, yet it made Bakugou mesmerized.

Bakugou opened his mouth to speak. His lack of honesty made him almost push the boy away, and almost shout at him as usual, denying everything. Though it was different this time. He did not want to deny it. He didn't want to deny his feelings. After holding it for so long, made it harder for him to resist.

Even though he was lacking words, he didn't lack any action. He slowly nodded his head, averting his eyes. Kirishima couldn't help, but to smile from the sight of Bakugou being bashful. This made him let out a quiet chuckle, which could possibly trigger Bakugou's anger. Hopefully it did not this time.

"The feeling is mutual then. That's good." Kirishima said before leaning in again for another kiss.

They both just sat there, covered in wounds, wet and cold from the ocean they jumped into. They completely forgot about the situation and pain they were in. They completely forgot about Shigaraki, who could catch up to them in no time.

They forgot about it all.

They even forgot that Kirishima was naked from the sudden transition.
