Ejiro's POV:

I really wished that Bakugo would trust me more than what he is doing but I understood that it was hard for him. So most of the times, I left him be or watched him to make sure he would get the time he needed to calm down or find his way around. Of course I was being careful and mindful too. I couldn't just leave him be.

However today, today was the day my mother committed 3 years ago and so I felt a worse than any other day. It was hard to stay cheerful and I really wanted to help Bakugo out but today was not the day.

I am sorry, I never did anything for you mother....

I'll bring you, your flowers over today.

Don't worry.

I'll never forget you.

One of the worst fears my mother had while she was alive was to be forgotten. Loneliness was all I could see in her eyes and I also got a keen sense on how people feel because of what I experienced with my mother. Maybe I was a bit too sensitive but it was just the way I was.

Me: Ka-Bakugbro, I'll get you some coffee from outside when I get back. You want something special? Some sweet or maybe something spicy?

Bakugou: Spicy, obviously.

Me: Kay. Will do. There is a great shop which I will pass on my way back.

Promise me you won't end it today....

I won't be able to take it if you would do it.

Not today.

Not anydays.

Please be there when I return!

Me: Anything else you want?

Bakugou: I don't know, maybe to get to class on time?

Me: Pfff.. I am excused for our classes today. Whelp see ya after school then!

With that I hugged Bakugo out of the blue and ignored his reaction completely. It was true that I was excused but not by Aizawa. I was excused for today by Hound Dog ever after I started consulting him for my own good. I may be afraid of pain but I still had my own demons inside my head and I was getting my own help. That was something I owed my mother who cared for me and loved me.

Okay now...

First off on the list, flowers.

So off to the flower market I go.

Maybe I should get some wild flowers?

No, mother loved white lilies.

Better try to get them mixed with white roses.

After I got the flowers from a shop, I went to the cemetery where I would find my mothers grave. My father would never visit this place after he got remarried. However I couldn't forget and would never forget.

Me: Hey mom... it's been a long time since I visited you. Today I got you your favorite flowers.

Was it weird that I was talking to the gravestone? Ah I didn't care. She was my mother and it felt better doing this.

Me: You know, I meet a wonderful person at UA. His name is Bakugo Katsuki. I wish he was my boyfriend but I can't confess now. He is suffering mom... I don't know what to do to help him.

Before I knew it, I broke down crying in front of the grave. I couldn't forget what my mom went through. I couldn't forget Bakugo's scars on his arm or how he was acting and looking at me. It was all in his eyes and I was starting to get desperate. The feeling of him slipping away from me was there and it was getting stronger and stronger.

Me: He is special to me mom... He is really a beautiful person. You would have liked him.

You would have really loved him.

He is unique.

He is beautiful.

Strong and intelligent....

I am scared of losing him....

I really don't know how to help him anymore...

Am I doing the right thing....

Me: *sob* Mom... what should I do? *sob* I can't lose him!

It took me hours to calm down and by the time I left the graveyard it was already 5 pm and I made my way to the shop to get Bakugo some spicy cookies as well as other new stuff they had. I knew out of everything that I didn't and don't want to face him right now since I was a mess. Still I had to at least give this to him.

This was why when I got back to the dorm system, I went to his room and knocked before putting the small paper bag on the floor where the treats were inside and left for my own room.

I don't want him to see me suffering.

He has to stay strong!

He just has too!

I need to be strong for him!

I... Oh what should I do to help him?
