"You're Horrible" - A Depressed Kiribaku Story

Reassuring

[Bakugou POV]

We arrive at our class and walk in together. We go to our desks and set our things down. My heart is racing, did anybody notice we walked in together? What if they ask? I can hear Kaminari and Sero talking to Kiri.

"What were you doing walking in with Bakugou?" Kaminari asks.

"Yeah, tell us!" Sero exclaims.

"Oh, it's nothing, we just walked to class together," Kirishima scratches the back of his head. I can tell he's nervous.

"Hey, Bakugou!" Kaminari yells from his seat.

"Shut up," I respond, clenching my fists. Mr. Aizawa walks into class before things get chaotic. He's saying something, but I'm tuning him out.

You have to stop acting so angry towards everyone. You're not getting anywhere, it's just making people hate you even more. What if you snap at your friends? What if you hurt someone? God, you're so awful-

"Bakugou, are you listening to me?" Mr. Aizawa asks, his eyes glowing red.

"Oh, yeah, I was just zoned out," I respond nervously and look away.

"Good, I don't want to catch you zoning out again," Mr. Aizawa turns back around and continues talking.

I raise my hand to go to the bathroom, and Mr. Aizawa says Yes. When I get to the boys bathroom, I lock myself in a stall and start sobbing.

Why am I even here? The only purpose I serve is being hurtful to everyone else, I don't know how to stop...

I hear someone walking in. I stay quiet until I hear him.

"Hey, Bakugou?" he asks. "You okay? It's been like, 10 minutes,"

"I-" I try to respond but nothing comes out of my mouth.

He walks up to my stall and knocks on it. "Come on, bro, let me in."

I stand up to unlock the stall door and step back. I wipe my eyes, trying not to cry even more.

"Hey, what's wrong??" Kirishima looks me in the eye, I can tell he's worried. I look away. "You won't feel better if you don't talk to someone, c'mon."

I hug him tightly, and he hugs back. I never want to let go. "I- it's the same thing as last night, you know-"

"It's okay to act different around other people, and I get it, you don't want to look weak. But sometimes you need to let loose and be yourself. Maybe you'll start feeling better if you do that!"

He gives such good advice- I don't deserve this. He's perfect.

[Kirshima POV]

I'm happy Bakugou is finally opening up to someone, even if it is just me. He's amazing, I hate to see him like this. I hope I can help him feel better.

We continue hugging and we don't let go. He cries into my shoulder and digs his nails into my back. Even though it hurts, I let him. I feel like I'm going to cry, but I need to be strong for him.

After what felt like forever since either of us last spoke, I finally open my mouth. "Hey, I think class is ending soon, we should go back."

"Yeah, I guess," he pulls away and opens up the stall door. We both walk out and he looks in the mirror. He splashes some water on his face and dries it, staring back up at himself. He grunts.

Bakugou walks over and looks at me, then turning his head away. "Thanks," he sighs and goes in for one last hug. I blush and start to tear up.

"I love you, just know that it's gonna be okay," I say quietly and smile. I pull away from the hug and say, "Come on, let's go back to class," I wave my hand and begin walking towards the door. Bakugou follows.

[Bakugou POV]

When we got back to class, Mr. Aizawa asked where we were.

"Where were you guys the whole class?" He's restraining us with his binding scarf. Agh... it's so tight-

"Bakugou wasn't feeling well so I helped him out," Kirishima states.

"And it took you 30 minutes?! You missed a lot of class," Mr. Aizawa replies angrily, tightening our bindings.

"Yeah, we're sorry about that! We can make it up later," Kirishima says, struggling.

"Meet me in the classroom at 6PM tonight to make up for class today..." Mr. Aizawa releases us and walks back into the class.

[Timeskip to night time; 7PM]

I feel bad for wasting Kirishima's class time, I should call and apologize... I pick up my phone from my bed and dial his number.

[Kirishima POV]

My phone is vibrating, who's calling me? It's Bakugou, I better answer-

"Hey, I just wanna say sorry for wasting your class time," he says quietly, "I should have just told you to go away."

"What? No! It's fine. I'm glad you could talk to me about it," I reply. "you don't have to be afraid to talk about your feelings, you know."

"I'm just afraid of being judged, that's why I always try to be the best," Bakugou says, his voice is shaky.

"No, I totally get it. We can always talk on the phone about it, like we are now. Just call me if you need me," I say, trying to be reassuring.

"Okay... I love you," He says. My heart flutters. He said he loves me!

"I love you too, take care!" I reply excitedly and hang up. I put my head in my hands, blushing.

I hope that was something he needed to hear.
