Misunderstanding

chapter 7

Kirishima POV

I stop running getting to my dorm. Denki, Sero and Mina are still there. I drop to my knees seeing them and just start crying letting everything out. They're my friends I can break down in front of them right? I start bawling dropping my head to the ground grabbing the carpet around me feeling all sorts of emotions at once that I can't put a name to.

"KIRI!!" They shout rushing over to me. I wave them off thinking of when Ida took a class pole on someone who should remain happy all the time so we can feed off of them and how I was the winner by a landslide. I can't break down in front of them even if they're my best friends. I pick my head up looking in their direction giving them a fake smile

"Stop! I'm fine I swear!" Mina comes closer to me dropping down and giving me a hug

"oh Kiri.." she keeps her voice low consoling me as I continue to cry but silently not wanting to worry them more than I already am. Dammit Kirishima stop crying!!

"We should've told you from the start" Denki rushes to my side hugging me. His words rub me the wrong way making me confused, they knew collectively that Bakugo didn't like me and that he actually liked Uraraka but still sent me off knowing they were trying to get together?

"Huh" I start blinking hard and fast unsure of what to think at this point. My own friends turned on me knowing they liked each other but then called me unmanly for holding off on telling him my feelings. They encouraged me to tell him..but they knew?

"Denki's right were so sorry we just didn't think it'd impact you this hard" Sero adds playing with my hair knowing it makes me feel better but no head rub can make me forget how I'm feeling right now

"You guys knew?"

"Yeah. Sorry! We managed to get the whole class in on it..we just thought it was best y'know because that guys a jerk and doesn't know how to love especially not you" Denki hugs tighter. I squint unsure of why they decided to butt into my love life but not only that set him up with someone else. I push Denki and Mina off me and stand up staring at the ground clenching my fists feeling my heart sink down into all those unknown emotions I have. I can feel it submerge into the unknown emotions soon drowning down to a place where it can't return from. My tears are pulled back by those emotions so I can talk

"You guys got them together. Knowing I like him and thought I wouldn't be crushed when I found out?" I look up at the end looking at their faces analyzing them. They all match each other showing off confused expressions

"What are you talking about?" Sero asks helping Mina up off the ground. I feel those emotions erupt out of me like I was a dormant volcano and now I'm active

"God damnit!! BAKUGO AND URARAKA ARE FUCKING DATING AND IT'S ALL MY BEST FRIENDS FAULTS?!" I shout choking on my tears. I feel my palms become sweaty but when I look down at them I see blood instead of sweat on them. My fingers had activated from my quirk and made myself bleed. It's the first time my quirk decides to activate on its own and hurt me but I guess I was hurting myself anyways by digging my nails into my skin

"Calm down.." Mina comes near me slowly like I'm an animal she needs to be cautious of. I drop my head pointing to my door standing beside it so they can leave

"get out"

"Kiri please" Denki pleads getting close to me

"I said get the fuck out!!" I shout in a harsher tone watching Denki flinch before staring at me and leaving, Mina keeps her head down grabbing her phone rushing out the door, Sero walks out the door like I hurt him. I roll my eyes and slam my door shut locking it. I walk over to my bed curling into a ball cuddling my shark ploosh crying into it.  Crying because I thought Bakugo was gay.Crying because I was so stupid. Crying because the people I trusted got him and Uraraka together. Crying because I'm going back to how I was when I was younger. Crying because I really wanted to date him
