had this slightly angsty kiribaku idea where pro hero Bakugou goes to America for a special job and has trouble adjusting until he meets this Japanese-American pro hero. They get along so well that she asks them to become roommates because they’re that close as best friends+
Eventually their friendship turns into sumn like a best friends with benefits but remains solely platonic. It’s just outta physical relief, but admittedly it does make them much closer.+
Post-sex pillow talks are filled with Bakugou gushing about his best friend until eventually she helps him figure out “dude I think ur in love with Kirishima” and Bakugou is shook bc like “my dick was literally in you like 5 minutes ago” +
But he realizes she’s right the more post-sex pillow talks they have. While he may be a walnut with his emotions, she could always read him so well.
Sex with his new best friend here in the states is great and fun and no pressure, but he can’t help but wish it was Kirishima.+
Sex with his new best friend here in the states is great and fun and no pressure, but he can’t help but wish it was Kirishima.+
How he wishes these intimate moments after sex weren’t just talking about Kirishima, but was actually WITH him. How he wishes he could confess all these thoughts and feelings to him lying in bed and not his roommate who has to comfort his distress with the fact that he’s so far+
Eventually three and a half years go by and Bakugou goes back to Japan. Instantly, him and Kirishima hit it off just like before except… Bakugou is a lot more aware of how he feels about the redheaded man before him. And he can’t stop wondering if the feeling is mutual+
they spend a lot of time together and eventually somehow, end up sleeping together going all the way. They wake up the next morning to Bakugou’s phone ringing on Kirishima’s nightstand. Kirishima is holding onto Bakugou tightly bc he doesn’t want to stop cuddling, but+
Bakugou literally rips himself out of Kirishima’s arms after seeing the caller ID on the screen. Kirishima has never seen Bakugou so frantic over a phone call, and he knows it’s not his place, but can’t help but overhear Bakugou’s phone call even as he moves into the living room+
Kirishima can overhear a woman crying on the other end of the phone.
“Oh no… is that his mom? Did someone in his family die?” Is the first thing that comes to mind but concern turns to heartache when he hears Bakugou say “hey I’m still here for you, calm down I’m here rn”+
“Oh no… is that his mom? Did someone in his family die?” Is the first thing that comes to mind but concern turns to heartache when he hears Bakugou say “hey I’m still here for you, calm down I’m here rn”+
Kirishima is still standing by the doorway littered in evidence of the night before.
Who could Bakugou possibly talk so sweetly to? Was Kirishima just some one-night stand for him? Was he not something more? Had he misinterpreted the passionate night from before? Fuck don’t cry+
Who could Bakugou possibly talk so sweetly to? Was Kirishima just some one-night stand for him? Was he not something more? Had he misinterpreted the passionate night from before? Fuck don’t cry+
And then he hears Bakugou switch to English and immediately Kirishima is taken by surprise.
Sure, he knew Bakugou would be fluent after all his time in the States but he had never heard him talk in English and- WOAH WAIT DID HE JUST SWITCH BACK TO JAPANESE ???+

There’s so much mystery and confusion. Were it not for how heartbroken he feels, he would’ve been in total awe and admiration of Bakugou.
But who could he possibly be talking to that he talks like that? Uncharacteristically sweet and in two languages?! Just WHO+

After a bit, it seems like Bakugou manages to calm the woman down. Bakugou says something in English that he can’t understand, but Kirishima can’t help but notice the way his voice sounds so gentle and relieved. It hurts him how tender and soft it sounds for someone else+
Kirishima can only understand the Japanese bits and parts of the conversation.
“Japan is japan. It was way easier to adjust back in here than America.” and then the person on the other end says something too quiet for him to hear, but Bakugou laughs… the way he does with Kiri+

/Oh/ he thinks. He didn’t realize Bakugou showed that side of him where he threw his head back and laughed till tears formed in his eyes to anyone but him.
/Oh/ is all he can really wrap his mind around to think.+
/Oh/ is all he can really wrap his mind around to think.+
“No I’m not dating anyone here. Quit bugging me about it”
/Oh./ something hurts hearing that. why would he be talking about that? why does the other person care so much? why is it any of their business?+

Bakugou switches back to English again before hanging up.
“yea yea I’ll [sumn english]. Mhmm. Yea. I love you too.”
And Kirishima’s heart breaks at that. “I love you too” ??? You don’t gotta be fluent to know what that means. Does Bakugou have a girlfriend? Did he cheat?+

And Kirishima’s heart breaks at that. “I love you too” ??? You don’t gotta be fluent to know what that means. Does Bakugou have a girlfriend? Did he cheat?+
And why did Bakugou sound so loving when he said that? It’s not like he even just said it because he feels obligated to or just as a way to get someone off of him; the feeling was there. The love. And not for him.+
Kirishima barely makes it back to his bed before he collapses into a mess of tears. He thought last night meant something to him, only to wake up to Bakugou calling his girlfriend… that he didn’t even tell him about?+
Was this his plan all along? To cheat on his girlfriend with Kirishima? Why would he do that? To either of them? He just couldn’t believe Bakugou would do such a thing.
He can’t tell if he’s crying from shock, confusion, or heartbreak anymore.+
He can’t tell if he’s crying from shock, confusion, or heartbreak anymore.+
He’s crying too hard to even notice Bakugou slip back into Kirishima’s room. It’s only when Bakugou shakes him that he realizes and before he can protest, Bakugou is pulling him into a hug.
“Eijirou, what’s wrong? What happened? Is it about last night?”+
“Eijirou, what’s wrong? What happened? Is it about last night?”+
And Kirishima rips off of him.
“It’s everything about last night! How could you have done that to me? Don’t touch me!”
Bakugou is taken aback. He thought last night meant his feelings were returned. Did he misunderstand it all?+
“It’s everything about last night! How could you have done that to me? Don’t touch me!”
Bakugou is taken aback. He thought last night meant his feelings were returned. Did he misunderstand it all?+
“I thought you wanted it too?” Bakugou shouts back, confused with hurt in his voice.
“Well I thought so too, but not like this Bakugou!” Kirishima shouts back even louder.
Bakugou looks at him hurt and confused expecting more. What did mean mean “not like this?”+
“Well I thought so too, but not like this Bakugou!” Kirishima shouts back even louder.
Bakugou looks at him hurt and confused expecting more. What did mean mean “not like this?”+
Neither of them say anything. Like silence after a storm, it’s deafening. Just staring at each other, expecting the other to say something.
Until Bakugou just barely breaks the silence with a hushed tone.
“Ei, I dont understand. I thought you loved me back after last night…”+

originally I had a few updates drafted to post tonight, but will no longer be posting it (will post tomorrow or later).
after the extreme racist Incidences that've happened today with anitwt, I do not feel it is the right time to tweet about my fic.

I've tweeted my stance and I HEAVY do not condone racism.
As an Asian poc, I feel it is extremely important to show solidarity with Black poc. You cannot have a neutral stance on racism. You cannot pick and choose when/who to be racist toward.

I will not be as active for the rest of the night as I do have to focus on my classwork, but I am not neglecting the issue prevailing anitwt rn. I see it and I am speaking out about it, without speaking over. Please do not ignore it.
Fuck Racists.

Kirishima is furious after hearing that. This motherfucker KNEW that he loved him and took advantage of that to get him in bed? He felt disgusted.
“You knew how I felt? And you STILL chose to use me of all people to chea-“
but Kirishima stops himself before he can finish+

“wait hold on… did you say you thought that I loved you /back/?”
Kirishima is beyond confused and now Bakugou is just as confused him too. Just two idiots angrily saying I love you without really knowing that the other is saying it back.+

“Yes, Ei. I love you. I’ve /been/ in love with you. I kind of thought thats’s what last night meant?”
Kirishima can’t help how his heart swells at that. But that still doesn’t explain Bakugou’s girlfriend that called this morning.+

"well I THOUGHT I was in love with you, but now I'm not so sure" Kirishima crosses his arms.
"what changed then?" Bakugou doesn't understand. He was so sure he felt something between them last night. Did Kirishima not?+

Then it clicks in Bakugou's head. Oh god fucking shit this is so embarrassing. Kirishima is a guy... that must be it.
"Was I that bad in bed? I've never done it with a guy, but I've been with a girl before and she said I was great so I didn't think I'd be awful"+
"Was I that bad in bed? I've never done it with a guy, but I've been with a girl before and she said I was great so I didn't think I'd be awful"+
Kirishima has never seen Bakugou speak with such a panic before. He would laugh, but he can't get over how ridiculous bakugou is being.
This man really thinks the problem was his skill in bed (which was fucking fantastic btw) and not the fact that he used him to cheat? hello?+

Kirishima wants to tell him he was great in bed. Kirishima wants to tell him he's missing the point. But for some reason, he can't stop the words of hurt from slipping out.
"Oh well if she thinks your dick is so great, why don't you go fuck her instead then?"+
"Oh well if she thinks your dick is so great, why don't you go fuck her instead then?"+
Kirishima knows he's being unreasonable. he knows he's speaking out of emotion. But how could he not?
why would Bakugou choose now of all times to rub in how great his girlfriend thinks his dick is. Why would he bring her up? Especially after confessing his love to him?+

Bakugou is shocked at Kirishima's sudden attack. Why is he acting like this? Don't they love each other?
Bakugou starts to explain.
"First of all, I can't since she lives in AMERICA and second of–"
"oh so you're using me for sex bc you can't fuck your girlfriend overseas?"+
Bakugou starts to explain.

wait hold on. girlfriend? GIRLFRIEND?????
"GIRLFRIEND???? WHO??????"
Bakugou is beyond confused. What the fuck is Kirishima on nowadays??+
"GIRLFRIEND???? WHO??????"
Bakugou is beyond confused. What the fuck is Kirishima on nowadays??+
Kirishima feels sick. Bakugou is really going to act like he doesn't have a girlfriend after all of that?
"oh come on. you said she's from america right? that girl on the phone you jumped out of bed for? and talked so sweetly in english and japanese and said 'I love you' to?"+
"oh come on. you said she's from america right? that girl on the phone you jumped out of bed for? and talked so sweetly in english and japanese and said 'I love you' to?"+
And it's like Bakugou can physically /feel/ the gears turning in his head. Oh, so that's what this is about.
holy fuck, was Bakugou glad he held back his hurt from kirishima's angry bursts. He really could've lost the love of his life along with his cool over a misunderstanding+

Bakugou holds Kirishima's hands in his own and brings up his knuckles to his lips.+

Bakugou kisses kirishima's knuckles.
"I love you."
He places another. And with lips still gently touching his knuckles he whispers,
"And only you."+
