Kirishima's a simple art student who's had his eye on the attractive blonde who frequents the same Starbucks he studies at for a while, though he's too chicken to do anything about his little crush until he accidentally runs into him. Literally. /Twice./ (This description is awful and I apologize; as soon as I come up with a better one I'll be changing it.) Title is from the song Sober Up by AJR.

When Bakugo was a kid he had to deal with people telling him that because of his cocky, rude and impulsive attitude, no one would love him. He would have no friends. That he would be alone. And he carried that with him never telling anyone. So when college started, he stayed closed off and believed what he was told. And he stays that way. Until a certain red head comes into his life and shows there's beauty in opening up to others. And shows him what it means to love. Cover art by @Felly_Chan

At the age of four, Katsuki was cast aside by his parents and forced into the foster system because he was cursed with an unfortunate Quirk-Explosion-which happens to have negative connotations to it due to a villain in the past. His parents aren't the only ones who rejected him because of it, though; he's grown up without friends, with teachers and peers looking at him in fear no matter how hard they tried to hide it, and while he'd like to say he enjoyed being so lonely, that wasn't the case. Fortunately (though he might say otherwise if you asked, at least at first), one set of bright red eyes somehow managed to see past his Quirk and his rather abrasive attitude and can relate to him on a level he never expected. Years in the future, however, things aren't all sunshine and rainbows-in fact, they're far from it. Katsuki knows this, and no longer can he allow himself to drag the only person he's ever truly cared about through the mud with him.

Bakugou Katsuki, absolutely terrible at feelings, is taken completely off guard when his best friend confesses something he never saw coming. --- Based off the song Air Catcher by Twenty One Pilots (duh). A few manga/season 4 spoilers. --- Posting to celebrate somehow reaching 3K followers; you guys are amazing and I can't express my appreciation and gratitude enough. --- Also holy shit I'm so fucking proud of this I could c r y.

... It wasn't that he was annoyed. Okay, maybe he was a little annoyed, but that was because a certain explosive punk decided to test the flammability of his sheets at 2 in the morning. Every single morning. (In which Bakugou's quirk wakes Kirishima up, and Kirishima gets way too invested in his bro's well-being.) **NOW REVISED AS OF 1/2/2023**

||Kiribaku|| Kirishima has definitely done himself over, absolutely screwed his life up. In a world where one sided love is forbidden, he managed to find someone who would definitely not love him. Hanahaki, they call it. He's so going to pay for loving someone who doesn't love anyone, so all he has to do is fall out of love.

Katsuki was really sick of the taste of flowers.

Kirishima and Bakugou have their entire future ahead of them, and they plan to spend it together. That is, until one fight with an unknown villain rips it away from them and their time together is devastatingly shortened. --- Post-canon. Set a few years after they graduate UA and become pros. In their early twenties. --- Title and chapter titles from the song Another You by Of Mice & Men

Boarding school is bullshit. High School is bullshit, and Bakugou Katsuki wants nothing to do with it. Doesn't give a shit about grades or homework or any of that crap, and is more than tired of the damn principal breathing down his neck every second of the day. And to add a cherry on top of a the shit sundae that is high school, he gets reassigned rooms and ends up with a way-too-fucking enthusiastic Hair-for-Brains idiot who's probably got the biggest, dumbest smile he's ever seen. Of-fucking-course. ~ Kirishima's always been happy to meet people and make new friends. Needless to say, he's ecstatic when he's informed that he's <i>finally</i> getting assigned a roommate after a month of living alone in a dorm room. He's more than happy to welcome his new roommate with a smile and help him out with anything he needs. He isn't expecting, however, to meet a seriously attractive blonde with intense irises that shine with his favorite color, and who he also has trouble keeping his own eyes off of. - Cover photo art by taichichuwhat on tumblr~

Bakugou gets diagnosed with leukemia- blood cancer. Since he doesn't have a donor, he doesn't see much reasoning in his life and turns away from anyone and anything that ever made him happy. Until one day, someone steps inside with a good message...
