Katsuki Bakugo is tired, tired of feelings so fucking pathetic.

He's a shitty person, with an even shittier life. It's what he deserves, isn't it? Funny how fate has a way of balancing the scale.

He'll never be a pro-hero, not when he's barely surviving each day he has to put up with his mother. 

But he's not asking for pity, Katsuki Bakugo can take care of himself.

And no one needs to know anything, they need to keep their damn mouths shut, or else they'll see the wall he's built up is slowly tumbling down.

This is Kiribaku btw is the title didn't give it away.

!!!Disclaimer: this is a four year old work and written in first person. It's not my best to say the least but I'm leaving it because it was an important part of my writing journey (although I'm not putting "angsty Bakugo fanfic" on any portfolio ʅ(◞‿◟)ʃ) I rewrote the summary because I hated it but mostly everything else is remaining unchanged because I'm too lazy to edit a 70k story. Be warned this is in first person and this fic does cover some serious topics (how well it does that it up to you). Thank you for continuing if you chose to do so and I appreciate all the support this fic has gotten it was certainly an experience : )!!!

Breaking Apart Softly - Kiribaku by Xxshiplord16Xx
14 parts Complete Mature
DISCONTINUED Eijirou Kirishima is depressed. He doesn't know why, and he doesn't know how to stop it, but he doesn't want to be a burden on everyone else so he keeps it hidden. Like most people do. But it's getting to be too much and it's effecting his normal persona. He also has a crush on Katsuki Bakugou- and, would you look at that! Bakugou likes him back! Their relationship moves fast and Kirishima seems to forget his biggest secret. And after that comes: Therapy. Hospital visits. Doctors offices. Worrying parents. Worrying friends. Worrying boyfriends. And so the best thing that Kirishima can think of is to lie.. to get back the happiness that everyone used to feel around him. To destroy that weird awkward feeling of worry that he senses whenever he is around anyone. He just hopes that maybe if he lies to others enough about what's really going on, then maybe he'll start convincing himself. That maybe, just maybe, the problems will go away. WARNING! This story contains: Smut Self harm Suicidal thoughts and actions Depression Anxiety Panic attacks If these topics trigger you, please do not read on! Lastly, this story is very close to home for me. I know what I'm talking about with the feelings that Eijirou feels, and I know how these things work. I've been hesitant to post this story for a while because I was worried of what people would say about all of it. A good amount of this story is me telling some of my experiences with depression, self harm, anxiety, etc. through Kirishima. All I ask of you as a reader is to please be kind in the comments. Honestly, as cheesy as it sounds, be kind to everyone. You really don't know what they are secretly going through. (Please feel free to message me if you feel any of the negative things that I talk about in this book. I am not a professional, but I have gone through these things and may be able to give you some advice, or at least be there for you to talk to.) Now, please enjoy this book.
●COMPLETED● Facade (BNHA Fanfiction) by hgffghhhhh
25 parts Complete Mature
●COMPLETED● (Fa-cade) noun An outward appearance that is maintained to conceal a less pleasant or creditable reality. Bakugou Katsuki kept up the Facade his entire life. Nobody knows the truth. About the pain he feels when having to go home for the holidays. The pain when he's alone in his bed at night, not being able to sleep. The pain he feels when any one of his friends write him off as strong. Or temper-filled. Or anger-issued. They don't know the truth. They don't know anything! And how Katsuki wanted to tell them. The things he's gone through. But people wouldn't care. He's Bakugou fucking Katsuki. He's the strong, loud, violent, and angry one. The one with no feelings at all. Or not being able to... feel. When all he does is feel. All he does is drown his emotions in drinks, drugs, and blades. But if he spoke out, they'd hate him. Hate him for what he got himself into. For the way he got addicted to the drinking, smoking, and cutting so easily. So fast. And his mother didn't care. She's never cared. He opened up, and she told him to toughen up. To just... be anything... but himself. Be a Facade. ~~~ Just FWI, I freaking love Mitsuki. But, she is a 'bit' abusive towards Katsuki. And that time she hit him in front of Aizawa and All Might, he acted like it happens daily. (Which I'm sure it does) UPDATE: nvm I hate Mitsuki (I'm not sorry-) Warnings! Cutting Underage Drinking Smoking Drugs Abuse Attempted Suicide Eating Disorders Couples (Please don't drop the story cause of these. Most these are background) Shinkami JirouxSero IidaxOchako TsuxTokoyami Tododeku Kiribaku

Bakugo is always rude to everyone. Loud, rough, mean, and hateful. But that's just a mask he puts on every time he leaves his room. The thoughts are always there, the voices and words. They won't shut up. They won't stop telling the truth. Everyone is out to get the aspiring hero, and his mind won't let him trust anyone. Not even his best friends... ~WARNINGS~ Mentions of: +Suicidal thoughts+ +Self-harm+ +Self-starvation+ +Self-deprecation+ +Depression+ +Panic attacks+ +Losing sense of reality+ I am not romanticizing these problems. If you have/are doing any of these things, please do the opposite of what Katsuki does in this book, and please go talk to someone. You're an amazing human, and you shouldn't hurt yourself over what you think people think of you. Everything in this is practice. My goal for this book is to give you that stomach drop that most angst stories do. I'm not very good at that, so let's see how I do, lmao. (AO3 gets updated faster than here)
