It's Not Too Late (Sad KiriBaku AU) Discontinued

Chapter 1

"Baby, I'm home!" I yelled, as loud as I could. Today was an exciting day for me, after 2 years of dating and a life long friendship, I was finally sure of what I wanted to do.

As I walked into the apartment that my boyfriend and I shared, I noticed that it was oddly quiet. Even when my boyfriend wasn't home, I could still hear the birds chirping happily outside the windows or the TV that he'd usually forget to turn off before leaving for work, but today, something felt...off. As I continued walking through the house, I thought that maybe he was off to work early today, that did sound like him, he doesn't like being late. I soon enough stopped exploring the corridors of the apartment and turned on the TV while plummeting on the couch. I've had a rough day today, but I knew that once my baby got home everything would be just fine.

After a couple of minutes of boringly scrolling through my phone, I stopped the TV, got off the couch, and headed towards the bedroom to change into something more comfortable.

I walked into the room, only to be hit by a sudden sense of discomfort. I always found this room quite depressing, the dark grey walls, the white bed placed in the middle of the room, the black desk, and chair, to the right side of the room, and the black dresser placed to the left, even though I didn't particularly like them before, in this exact moment, I hated them more than ever, and the worst part of this was, that I couldn't even figure out why. Agh! Look at me! Getting all worked up because of some stupid furniture! I slowly dragged myself to the dresser, opening it carefully, so I wouldn't make any noise. As I stared at the huge variety of clothes I had to choose from, I soon enough lost interest in searching for a particular match, so instead I just chose the first thing that I saw, a pair of long black pajama pants and an orange hoodie that belonged to my boyfriend. I then quickly changed into the comfortable and decently matching clothes, and let myself fall on the bed.

I opened my eyes to the sound of a phone buzzing. I groaned as I lazily rubbed my eyes, I turned my head around to face the clock standing just on the desk to my right. The clock showed 19:46, as I tried remembering what had happened in the last few hours, I heard that phone buzzing again, I slowly stood up from the bed, and walked to the desk, picking up my phone to see what's happening, but my phone was not the one buzzing, strange. As I slowly made my way back to the white king-sized bed, I noticed a very familiar phone on the sheets. It was the phone of my boyfriend. How long has it been there for, or actually, for how long has my boyfriend been home for? As I connected all the dots, I started smirking. I soon enough was running around the house screaming my boyfriend's name, waiting for him to say something like 'I'm right here', but that answer never came. After about 10 minutes of doing so, I got tired and bored and returned to the bedroom. I thought that maybe he had gone out for a walk and forgot his phone at home, yeah, that must be it! As I was preparing to throw myself on the bed once again, I heard a buzzing sound. This time, it was my phone, so I walked up to the desk and picked it up only for me to read the most concerning text message I've ever gotten.

Hey Kirishima, sorry to bother you, but I've been trying to get ahold of Bakugo for the past 3 hours, but he's not picking up his phone, his location has been unchanged since he left work today, would you mind telling me if he's with you? Thank you!

Wait a second, I remember now! Kat had the morning shift today, so that means he couldn't have been at work when I came home. And if Mina has been trying to reach him for the past 3 hours and he didn't reply, he might've left his phone here on purpose. But the actual question is, why on earth would he pull something like this!? I started pacing around the room, worriedly biting my nails when I suddenly heard a loud thump from the bathroom. I slowly walked towards the door that was on the opposite side of the black desk, I opened it slowly to only be met with horror.

There was blood, everywhere! And my boyfriend, Kat, my innocent angel, was standing lifeless on the floor.

I fell to my knees crying while attempting to lift up Katsuki's body and place it on my lap. I then tried feeling his pulse, he had none though. In a desperate attempt to recover him, I tried yelling and slapping him, god, I even tried kissing him hoping this all was just some kind of nightmare that I would soon enough wake up from. After 5 minutes of trying everything I could've thought of, I slowly place Katsuki's head back on the cold, red-stained, marble floor, and started running towards my phone, stumbling halfway through, continuing my run by crawling, as soon as I grabbed my phone, I stood up and ran back in the bathroom, placing my boyfriends head on my lap again.

"It's gonna be ok, you're gonna be ok, everything will be just fine" I kept mumbling to myself while calling 911

Soon enough I hear the voice of a woman say "911 what's your emergency", I barely even let her finish, before starting to loudly sob in the phone. I tried my best at explaining what was happening, but I couldn't, all I could do was hope that the women on the other line would actually send an ambulance over.

"Sir, please calm down and tell me what happened." said the woman on the other line. After about a minute or so I gathered up the strength  to say something, and so, through broken sobs, I said "A-Ambulance, N-now." before collapsing to the ground next to my beloved boyfriend. I couldn't believe it, I was in shock, I couldn't understand why he'd do something like this. I have to admit that I noticed he was quite off in the past couple of months, but I didn't say anything because I didn't want him to think I was calling him weak, and look where that got us. It got him to the point where he committed suicide and it got me to the point where I was screaming in pain and sobbing while cuddling in his lifeless, cold arms.

In less than 10 minutes, an ambulance arrived at our house and took my baby and I directly to the hospital. While I was sitting on the bench, next to my boyfriend's bed, I realized how messed up everything was. Katsuki Bakugo, a role model, one of the top 10 heroes worldwide, my boyfriend, was lying unconscious on a hospital bed because of attempted suicide and all of this was, because of me.
