Kirishima POV:
"Always remember to come up for air."
Something happened. I don't know what. My chest felt heavy. Everything felt heavy.
I gulped.
"Always remember to come up for air."
The words were ringing in my head.
What's happening?
"Okay." I whispered, finally.
"Good." Bakugou said. "Let's get out now. That's enough for today."
We got out of the water. Well, Bakugou helped me out of the water.
I slammed the door of the changing room, clutching my chest.
His words were still stuck in my head.
I got dressed back into my clothes and met Bakugou outside.
"Come on. My moms in the parking lot. She'll drive you home." Bakugou said.
"Right." I mumbled. It's too hard to focus.
The car drive wasn't quite. Mrs. Bakugou And Bakugou yelled the entire way. I stayed in my own head.
"This is it, right? House twenty-two?" Mrs. Bakugou asked.
"Um, yes. Thank you. Goodbye." I mumbled.
I took one last look at Bakugou before I closed the car door.
"See ya." He said.
My heart hammered against my chest. I nodded and closed the door.
I stayed in the same spot until I couldn't see the car anymore. Then I turned to my house.
Still don't have more drinks. I can't get caught till I have them.
I gently moved the cardboard on the back window and climbed through, cutting myself with shards of glass. I don't mind.
I tiptoed into the living room. My dad was out cold, as usual.
I ran down the stairs to the basement, my ankles twisted from my old shoes.
I jumped onto my blanket on the floor.
Bakugou's words echoed in my head.
Certain word.
Comforting words.
Words I need to hear.
"I'll teach you how to swim."
"Always remember to come up for air."
I don't know why these simple sentences have such an effect on me.
I sobbed into Bakugou's hoodie.
Why am I crying now?
This is so stupid...
I pulled out my phone.
Me: hi
That's so dumb. Why did I send that?
Bakugou: wow u texted first
Bakugou: whats the occasion
What do I say now?
Me: I'm kinda sad
Sent.
I sent that.
To Bakugou!
Bakugou: that's ok
Bakugou: I'm happy u said that I guess

FanfictionKirishima POV: I always feel like I am drowning. In everything. Holding my breath when things get rough, living in isolation, the muffled voice of those on the surface. But there's a different side to this. It's peaceful in the bottom of the ocean...
