Eijiro Kirishima has been struggling with confidence since middle school. Since then he's struggled with mental health and other issues. He assures he's fine and only hides what's truly wrong because he's scared of people finding out about what he hates most about himself. Katsuki Bakugo has been having self doubts since a certain event in middle school. These doubts continue when he gets into UA and is constantly the victim, and vulnerable. Kirishima finds out about Bakugos doubts assuring him that's it's all just in his head. Bakugo struggles to accept the help at first but slowly learns that he needs it and there's no better person to get it from than his best friend. Kirishima still hides the struggles that he faces, not wanting to concern Bakugo with even more than he already has on his plate. Though it doesn't take Bakugo long to notice the frown that Kirishima wears on his face when he believes no one is looking. "Kirishima... you've helped me so much. I just wanna repay the favor and help you too!" Kirishima takes a deep breath, "Really Bakugo, I'm fine. So don't worry about it okay?" Bakugo is annoyed at Kirishimas answer, him denying help gets on Bakugos nerves. Bakugo resists from punching Kirishima or hitting him, he knows it wouldn't help in this situation.
