Don't Leave Me Alone...

Bliss

I remember feeling like I was floating, everything fleeting my mind except for him. His scent, his soft skin, everything... He loved me...

"Denki...?" I snapped out of my trance and looked at him.

"Eijiro... You really love me?" He almost shuddered at the use of his full name, his hands running down my arm as we lie there, staring into each others glossy eyes.

"Yes... I always have." He cupped my cheek and wiped away my tears with his thumb. "The only one who knew was Bakugo..." 

Suddenly everything clicked. Bakugo and Kirishima... They didn't love each other, Bakugo was just trying to protect him from getting his heart broken. 

"Kirishima..." I felt a burning in my throat but it felt different. I turned and coughed, petals flying out of my mouth. Pink rose petals came out, piling next to me. /Unconditional love.../

"Denki, are you okay?!" He put his hand on my back as a few petals came up. It didnt hurt like it did before, when I finally stopped my breath hitching like something had left my body.

"I-Im fine-" I held the petals in my hand and grimmaced. Was this the last of it? I showed Kirishima. "Unconditional love."

"Huh?"

"That's what the color means. Unconditional love..." I smiled weakly. 

"How many times have you coughed up that color?"

"Only once other than this... And it was only one petal... I looked up at him and he smiled a little.

"I feel terrible that I put you through so much pain..." His eyes lost their sparkle as he glanced away. 

"No... Don't be sorry, its not your fault..."

"But I should've told you before it came to this..." He stared at me. "I feel like I put you through pain and its my fault..." He frowned and so did I.

"I dont want you to think that... Hanhaki is completely mental and the only one convincing me of what I think is myself. It happened and I think its over now, so let's not talk about it yet. We will though, I promise. Right now I just really need to take this all in..." I sighed and hoped he would understand. Luckily for me, Kirishima was perfect. He nodded and smiled. As if on cue, Mochi layed down between us, purring loudly and rubbing against both of us. I felt a smile crack across my face.

"There's that smile..." He whispered, the sparkle returning to his eyes. I was so close to him and it made my heart race. He pulled me closer, resting my head against his chest and running his fingers through my hair. I felt that weird floating nostalgic feeling again. "I love being like this with you... Its such a relief..." He buried his face in my hair and I could feel his soft breathing. Mochi meowed in annoyance and stood, going to get some food. He saw this as the chance to pull me close against him and wrap his arms around me, making my breath hitch as he placed one arm beneath my neck so he could easily pet my hair, the other arm on my thigh, his hand resting innocently on my hip. I never wanted him to let go of me. Everything felt right in that moment, perfect and sweet. 

"I wanna kiss you... Is that okay?" He muttered, so quiet I barely even heard it. I tilted my head up, him lifting his off of mine in response. Our foreheads met as I stared into his eyes. They were fiery but filled with a comfortable warmth. His lips hovered over mine, our noses bumping. My heart rate spiked as I felt his sweet breath against my lips. Was this finally it?

"I would like that..." My voice came out breathy as I slowly closed my eyes.

The next thing I knew I felt a warm pair of lips against my own, a spark igniting in the back of my mind that definitely wasn't from my quirk. He ran his hand up to cup my cheek as he lightly and innocently sucked on my bottom lip, the slight smell of lip balm filling my nose. My senses were flooded with warmth and tranquility, everything I'd ever known as perfect being swept away. This moment, this boy... Was perfect. Pure bliss. He pulled away, resting his forehead on mine and breathing a little heavier. I opened my and my vision seemed to focus and become more vivid. The colors turned brighter and I knew that I was finally complete, I was finally whole. He let out a breath that sounded almost like a chuckle and took my hands in his, pressing them against his chest.

"Feel that?" He asked, his smile never faltering. His heart was beating fast, just like mine. "You never fail to make my heart /race/." My lips parted as he kissed me again softly and quickly. He pulled away almost as suddenly as he kissed me, running his hand up through my hair again. "Kaminari I love you... Can I have the honor of being your lover?" He grinned.

"The honor?" If it was possible, my face flushed more. /He thinks it's an honor to be MY lover?!/

"Mhmm... I would love to say that you're my boyfriend..."

"Well..." I kissed his knuckles and smiled, resting my lips there. "Well then, I would love to be your boyfriend..." The word "boyfriend" felt so weird leaving my lips, but in the best possible way. /My first boyfriend.../ "Was I your first?"

"First what?"

"Kiss."

"Yes if you don't consider all the times ive kissed my pillow-" He grinned and I couldn't help but laugh quietly.

"You're a dork-"

"Only for you~" He winked and I laughed again, feeling my cheeks go hot again. "But really, you thought I liked Bakugo?" 

"Yeah... I thought that... You were trying to replace me as your best friend..."

"Well I guess you were kind if right... I wanted to be more than friends... I started to try to push you away because it hurt to know that you wouldn't see me in the same way I saw you... So instead of being manly like I shoulve been I tried to push you away... And that ended up being bad for both of us..." He frowned slightly. "But I learned an important lesson. I need to try to not assume things and open up more about how I'm feeling. I need to stop thinking about how people will see me and hiding how I really feel and start to open up more." He got a determined look on his face and I actually felt really proud of him.

"Kirishima, I need to say this- You are so manly-" He laughed and smiled, kissing my forehead. "My manly boyfriend..." 

At one point, we both fell asleep like that, cuddled close to one another underneath a blanket. At some point I wrapped my arms and legs around him like a baby and he drooled all over my pillow- But I didn't really mind. In my dreams that night, I realized what that nostalgic warm feeling was called.

I was happy.
