Crush (Kiribaku)

First Day of School

Kirishima's POV

First day of junior year.

Kirishima took a breath as he stood outside UA.

Maybe this was the day he would finally see that blonde boy again.

That blonde beautiful boy who would blow up in his face and comfort him and kiss him and

 love him.

Maybe this year.

After three years.

He pushed the thought to the back of his mind as his friends walked up to him.

He said his cheerful greetings and they all walked into school.

He saw Midoriya.

He wanted to ask him if he had seen him.

But he wouldn't.

He would just say hi to a friend.

They were in the middle of a conversation when something caught his eye. He leaned a bit to his left because right behind Midoriya was a boy.

Staring right at him.

His eyes widened and his mouth went dry.

Bakugou Katsuki.

Bakugou's POV

He inhaled in front of UA High.

A little voice in the back of his mind asked where Kirishima was.

He shoved it away.

He proudly and quietly walked inside the school and looked at a few classmates he knew staring at him. 

He saw Deku.

There was no anger.

No urge to walk over to him and yell at him.

He saw a bit of red behind him.

He thought of Kirishima's eyes.

He was just about to walk away when Deku moved a bit.

There was a guy who was just about his hight, a little bit taller with his hair bright red and spiked up. His eyes were looking at Midoriya. Bakugou was going to walk away again but then he saw something.

A scar on his right eyelid.

Bakugou stopped immediately in his path and his eyes widened and he got chills with horror and delight.

The boy looked right at him.

His eyes widened too.

Kirishima Eijirou.

They stood and stared at each other for a few moments. 

It felt like an eternity.

It felt like they were the only people in the room.

"Eijirou...?" he could feel himself whisper shakily.

The redhead's eyes teared up.

A tear fell.

He walked towards Bakugou.

Stopped a few steps away from him.

They looked each other in the eyes for a few more long, torturous seconds until Kirishima said,

"Katsuki?" in a whisper.

He should have said yes and walked away. He should have pretended it wasn't him. Anything at all. But the dam broke, and he cried.

"Eijirou..."

Kirishima smiled. 

Kirishima laughed.

"B-Bakugou, y-you're here!" he exclaimed.

The redhead was about to embrace him but paused.

He backed up a bit.

"S-Sorry..." he mumbled and looked at the floor as he scratched the back of his head.

"It's kinda hard to remember we're friend's now, huh?"

Bakugou couldn't have replied faster.

He took Kirishima's hand.

"Eijirou... I.... I know that we agreed to be friends. It's just... it's hard. An-and I know you've probably gotten over me by now, but... would you..."

Bakugou inhaled while shaking.

Kirishima looked at him in surprise.

Bakugou looked Kirishima right in the eyes as he said,

"Wanna go on a date with me?"

Kirishima paused.

After a moment, he nodded.

His nods started getting faster as a smile spread across his face and tears came to his eyes once more.

He squeezed Bakugou's hand,

"Yes!"
