Red String of Fate [ KiriKami ]

Kirishima POV

The day dawned, and my mind was still preoccupied with what happened last night.
"He's f!ckin' at it again with hanging out with Mindf!ck" I could hear Bakugo gritting his teeth, I sheepishly chuckled in response.

"Don't...mind him anymore, it's fine.." I said, looking down on my food.

"Well hell it is," He grunted. "You two are idiots, you know that?"

I winced at the word 'idiot'. But I accepted it, because I was indeed an idiot. An idiot for not realizing my feelings sooner. An idiot for letting this happen.

"I love him" I bluntly spouted, Bakugo freezing in his sit, his head turning to me. I could feel his intense stare.

"Damn f!cking finally, weird hair" He yelled out with explosions in his palms. "I thought I had to mess up your damn head for you to realize, but I guess not"

"It was late for me, and now that I've realized, it finally makes sense now" I sighed. I clenched my fists.

"See" Bakugo said in a cocky tone, implying that he was right about me being in love with Kaminari. And he was, indeed right about that. It was stupid of me to not realize it, and what surprises me more is that Bakugo, out of all people, was the person to notice that I was in love.

"You're practically obsessed with him" Bakugo chuckled. My cheeks suddenly tinted of red, my eyes widening.

"N-no! Obsessed?! That would be an overstatement, Bakugo..." I said, panicky. Bakugo only snorted in response. My eyes then softened down and sad feelings started to rush in on me again.

"But, I guess I have to give up, huh" I bit my lower lip, the instant thought of Kaminari and Shinso together passed through my mind.

Bakugo sighed before speaking up. "It's your choice anyway if you want to confess, maybe just not right now cuz I might've gotten a bit heated with that damn pikachu"

I froze in my seat and turned to him. "What do you mean?"

"We got into a fight yesterday, nothing too grand. Although I might've mentioned that he was probably ignoring you or something" I widened my eyes as I listened to him.

"What?...Did...did he say anything about that?" Bakugo shook at me as a no. I sighed and leaned back weakly on my seat.

Looking around the cafeteria, I saw the two familiar people. Shinso and Kaminari were, of course, eating together again. I felt a fuel of rage, but drops of sadness as I saw Kaminari looking so happy with him. I thought that it should've been me facing him, the one who gets to see his loving smile, and his beautiful damn face.

"You wish that was you, huh" I broke out of my thoughts when Bakugo spoke, I didn't utter any words, and just had my face as red as it can be.

"You really are an idiot" He emphasized.

"I know, I know!" I sighed, my head low and resting on my crossed arms on the table.

The school bell then rung, all students looked up and started leaving for their next period. I took a quick glance at Kaminari, and it was a bad idea. I felt a stab of pain seeing him kissing Shinso on the cheek. I never knew it'd be this painful seeing him like that with him. I wish that was me.

And so we all went back to our classes. Students started flooding the hallways but died down as soon as they got inside their classrooms. Me and Bakugo still walked to ours, it was a bit far from here, so we had to make an effort.

As soon as we got here, we were then followed with the rest of our classmates. The room now crowded with talking and laughter, we eventually sat in our seats. I felt the presence of Denki behind me, and I felt warm, but immediately felt cold as I remembered our situation.
