depress! Kirishima! "Kirishima..." Aizawa said slowly. "Who is hurting you..." "N-No one..."

It all started with a boy. A CUTE boy. Kirishima owns a flower shop in UA college town, where he spends most of his time when he's not running around being a vigilante and crushing on Ground Zero. He works tirelessly every day, trying desperately to save enough money to attend even a single semester of UA. Bakugo can't help but be pissed at his classmates. Damned Deku one-uping him on the tests, his hearing aids on the constant fritz, Dunce-head hurting himself again, and that Stupid Icy-Hot with his passive-aggressive mind games about his absolute man crush that is Red Riot. As if he didn't already have enough problems. But Mr. Aizawa says "play nice," so that's exactly what Bakugo intends to do. But Bakugo finds the redhead's smile hides more than anyone could have thought, and as Kirishima's dreams draw closer, so does a past he thought he'd left behind. Flower Shop AU: (UA is a college for "pro heroes", however, no one knows everyone else is a hero. Quirks are not nearly as common and most keep them secret.)

Kirishima POV: I always feel like I am drowning. In everything. Holding my breath when things get rough, living in isolation, the muffled voice of those on the surface. But there's a different side to this. It's peaceful in the bottom of the ocean. No one can hurt me down here. It hurts, holding my breath and being so alone.... but if I dare to peak over the surface then people will see me, I'll be vulnerable, no one will like what they find. So I'll stay. And I'll drown myself here, forever. Trigger warning ⚠️ Depression Anxiety Attempted suicide Swearing Abuse Bullying Self harm This story is very triggering. Please do not read if uncomfortable Again this is my first fanfic but I'm gunna try my best! Characters belong to Horikoshi kohei.
