CUPID'S LIST (Kirishima x Bakugou)

Pikachu's Advice

It had been two days since Bakugou had kissed Kirishima and he had stormed out of the room. It was Friday morning and they had classes. Present Mic stood behind the teacher's desk and taught English, as usual, a little too loudly. Seriously, Bakugou would have to take a pain killer for the pounding in his head after class.

Bakugou caught himself looking at the redhead over and over again. Kirishima had ignored him the last few days. He didn't look well. He had dark circles under his eyes and his hair fell unstyled on his shoulders - which looked pretty good to Bakugou if Kirishima hadn't looked so sad.

Even if Kirishima avoided his eye contact as much as possible, Bakugou felt that another pair of eyes fell on him again and again. Annoyed, he turned around and looked into the thoughtful yellow eyes of Kaminari.

Questioning, Bakugou lifted an eyebrow. What was his problem? Kaminari rolled his eyes away and looked over to Kirishima. Bakugou quickly looked away. Apparently, Pikachu knew and he felt his cheeks heating up. Damn, did he actually turn red?

The blonde boy tried to concentrate again on the lessons, but he was unsuccessful. Was Kirishima so miserable because of his father or was it his fault? Probably both. But seeing the redhead in such a state broke Bakugou's heart, which he didn't even know he had.

He had to do something about it but at the same time he was afraid he'd make things worse. Already in this short amount of time he was missing Kirishima's intrusive invitations and his constant happy grin. At the moment he looked more like he was going to jump off the next bridge.

The blood in his veins froze when he thought of the suicide case he had come across during his searches. He inhaled sharply, resulting in an astonished look from Deku. Bakugou gave him a death glare.

Kirishima was strong and not so cowardly to do such a thing! At least he thought so, but how well did he really know him? He wouldn't have expected such an open person to keep such things like his father's illness a secret from his best friends. Nervously he drummed the pen on his notebook. He had to do something!

And again, Bakugou was thinking of Cupid's list. How did this list get into his hands? Obviously the god of love had made a mistake. He liked Kirishima and the idea that something might happen to him was terrible, but however Cupid's spell worked, he didn't seem to be affected.

He almost wished he'd just fall in love with Kirishima. Wouldn't everything have been different if this cursed love arrow had also hit him?

The bell rang and Bakugou exhaled with relief. Present Mic announced the homework, and they could finally leave.

He was about to leave the room when someone held him back. Annoyed, Bakugou shook the hand off his shoulder before turning around. In front of him stood Kaminari.

"I need to talk to you," he said earnestly. His golden-yellow eyes reflected an unusual seriousness.

Bakugou shrugged and followed him. Kaminari didn't go far, only into the next hallway so they were alone.

"What did you do to Kirishima?" he asked. He looked at him accusingly. "He's not himself, I've never seen him like this before!"

Bakugou crossed his arms. He didn't like the harsh tone of Kaminari at all, especially since he was interfering in his business.

"What makes you think it's my fault?"

Kaminari also crossed his arms and examined the blonde. "Kirishima gave a hint."

"Oh yeah, what did he say?"

Kaminari's eyes narrowed. "He wouldn't tell me, but whatever it was, apologize! You're important to him and he's my friend. I hate seeing him like this!"

Bakugou bit his tongue to stop from answering angrily. Kaminari telling him what to do rubbed him the wrong way. Yet he knew he was right.

"Do you think I don't?" he asked instead. His voice had lost its harsh tone.

Kaminari opened his mouth in astonishment. He probably didn't think he'd get out of this conversation in one piece. He cleared his throat. "Seriously, man, what have you done?"

"If Kiri didn't tell you, I won't do it either."

"Kiri? Not Shitty Hair?"

"Shut up, Pikachu!"

Kaminari touched his heart as if it had hit him deeply, but a mischievous grin was reflected on his face. Bakugou frowned annoyed. What was that grin about?

"Anyway, I wanted to make sure you'll fix this," he said. "He'll be back tomorrow morning."

Bakugou raised an eyebrow questioningly.

"He's going to see his parents today," explained Kaminari.

He's going to the hospital, corrected Bakugou in his mind. He nodded briefly to the other boy and then walked towards the dormitory without comment. He would follow Pikachu's advice and fix it as soon as possible. At the moment he wanted nothing better than to see Kirishima happy again as soon as possible. Although, he was glad he had a little time to think about what he could say to him.
