Part 2

Once Kirishima’s wrists were healed, he and Bakugou decided to have a talk about them being soulmates. “So, we’re soulmates, huh ?” Kirishima said. “Yeah shitty-hair, we’re soulmates” Bakugou said, he didn’t seem annoyed though. “Um..”

“What is it shitty-hair?” Bakugou asked, now getting slightly annoyed.

“Um, so, like, what should we do about it?”

Is he being serious? Bakugou thought. “I don’t know, what should we do about it?” Bakugou asked, putting emphasis on ‘should’.

What does he want me to say here? I can’t just tell him that I’m in love with him ! Wait- am I in love with him? Kirishima was almost shocked at the thought, how could he have fallen for Bakugou?

“Kirishima?” Bakugou asked, noticing that something was off, “You still there?”

“What? Uh, yeah” Kirishima responded, snapping out of his thoughts.

“What we’re you gonna say?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. It’s getting late, we should head back to the dorms.” Kirishima said before getting up and starting to walk away, with Bakugou following closely behind.

“So we’re just not going to talk about this?”

“Talk about what, Bakugou? There’s nothing to talk about.”

“What do you mean?”

“Look, I get it, you feel bad for me so now you want to pretend like you care about me until you’re sure I won’t hurt myself again, then you’ll leave, like everyone else. You don’t have to pretend to care about me, Bakugou. I’ll be fine, I always am.”

“I don’t feel bad for you, Kirishima. And I’m not pretending, I genuinely care about you.”

“You shouldn’t”

“What?”

“You shouldn’t care so much about someone like me”

“What do you mean ‘someone like you’?”

“Like someone who want to kill themself, Bakugou!”

By now Kirishima was crying, he was frustrated. He didn’t understand why this was so hard for Bakugou to comprehend. Bakugou shouldn’t care too much about him because he'll eventually just give up on him, just like all the others.

“Kirishima..” Then Kirishima finally realized that Bakugou was actually calling him by his name.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Doing what?”

“Calling me by my name.”

“Cause we’re having a more serious conversation.”

“What do you mean? I mean, we were only talking about being soulmates. I really couldn’t tell that you say that as something serious.”

“Well, my whole life people have been bragging about finding their soulmates and I hadn’t found mine. Then I met you.”

“But why did you hide it?”

“What?”

“The scar, why did you hide it?”

“I had no interest in finding my soulmate”

“But-”

“Your soulmate is supposed to be the person you spend the rest of your life with, it’s a serious thing.”

“So you knew and you didn’t say anything?”

“I knew from the moment I saw you. I’ve literally never met anyone else with the same scar other than you.”

“But why didn’t you say anything?”

“I thought you wouldn’t want your soulmate to be a guy”

Kirishima hadn’t even thought of that, he hadn’t even taken into account that they were both guys.

“I didn’t even realize..”

“I don’t really care, but I figured you might”

“Wait, does that mean..”

“Yeah, okay, I kind of really like you, or whatever”

Kirishima’s eyes lit up, “Really? You mean that?”

“Don’t get all excited, idiot”

“Can I tell you something?”

“What is it?” Bakugou asked, with the most subtle smile.

“I, like, really like you too”

“Well that much was obvious”

“Shut up, Bakugou” Kirishima said in a playful tone, he couldn’t help but be happy in this moment.

...The End...

Authors note: I decided to go back and write more to the story, but it won’t become a series, I just wanted it to have some closure. Hope you enjoyed it :)
