Underwater (kiribaku/bakushima)

29

(TW:⚠️ Rape, panic attacks.)

Kirishima's POV:

The TV was playing quietly.

I think Bakugou turned it on to distract me.

I heard Mr and Mrs Bakugou talking to one and other in the next room.

Bakugou didn't tell them.

I had to beg him not to tell them, and he's still not convinced.

He hasn't said anything since I woke up.

Just "You had a panic attack."

I didn't ask him why we were in the living room now.

Bakugou put a blanket over me and made me watch the TV.

Does he hate me now?

Will he leave now, too?

What do I do without Bakugou?

Before I even realised it, I was crying again.
Completely silent.

Somehow, Bakugou heard.

"Don't cry Kirishima..." he whispered, bringing his hand up to wipe my tears.

"D-do you not like me now?" I sobbed.

"What?! No- Kirishima. Of course I- why would you think that?!" He said.

"I..." everyone leaves.

"I'm sorry I wasn't talking, I was- I was just thinking... none, none of it seems real..." he said, touching his own forehead.
"Come on, let's go back upstairs. It's getting late." Bakugou sighed.

He stood up and reached his hand out to me.

I tried to stand up and take it but my legs buckled underneath me. I fell to the ground, searing pain in my lower half.
I tried to hold back a whimper, but it managed to slip through.

"Fuck! Kirishima, I'm sorry-" Bakugou rushed over to me, helping me up.
It made the pain worse.

I let out a sharp cry and Bakugou stopped moving.

My breathing was laboured. I can't take much more of this....

"Kirishima.... I'm so sorry..." I heard him say.

I looked up to see Bakugou hiding his face.
But his voice was wobbling so I knew he was upset too.

He lowered me into the ground.

"This'll be easier." He said. "I'll just carry you. Is that okay?" Bakugou asked.

I nodded and he slipped his hand around my upper back.

The other went dangerously close to my thighs.

I immediately hit his head and tried to get away.

Then I realised what I had done.

"Ah, shit. That was a bad idea. I'm sorry, you probably didn't want me to touch there. Ill be more careful." Bakugou apologised.

I shook my head, feeling guilty.

"Look what you did, Kirishima."
I knew that voice.

"It's fine. I understand. Come here." Bakugou said.

He put one hand around my upper back and one around the backs of my knees.

I felt more relaxed, though it was painful.

We reached his room, and he lid down next to me on the bed.
