This oneshot is LONG AND there'll be two separately posted optional endings for Kirishima and Kaminari depending on whom you'd rather be with by the end of the oneshot.

Love.

It's both a blessing and a curse all wrapped up into one. Love can be beautiful. From how love can create newfound relations, memories to never be forgotten and even a child in due time. While that all may sound nice, love is known to drive others into madness. You'll cry be it good or bad, want to rip out your heart and shut others out if such a delicate organ were to be messed with in the right ways.

There's a student that attends UA High who too was at a crossroads with love.

(Y/n) was a promising young man. He always made time to study and got the best grades although he won't deny that his procrastination normally got the better of him. He entered UA and successfully landed a spot in the Hero Program with the intent to be fully devoted to his passion. Yet, overtime, that devotion was no longer top priority. Coming from the man who entered a school for heroes without even thinking about the possibility of crushes and budding relationships, he fell for Cupid's spell anyways. (Y/n) had made many friends, but one stood out above the rest. Ever since (Y/n) had gotten to know the resident manly man of Class 1. A. He's come to respect Eijiro Kirishima for his contagious peppy attitude and honed body. However, with time, that respect morphed into something else entirely. No matter how badly the truth wanted to come out, (Y/n) fought and fought his true feelings for the man in red like it was the plague. Too bad (Y/n) had to be born an unfortunate young man as he wasn't like all the other boys his age for he hasn't told a single soul, not even his parents, that he doesn't exactly play for his own team. This 'love' for Kirishima well... It was out of reach for (Y/n). Like the sun, no matter how hard you reach for it, all you can feel is warmth but never experience the whole thing first hand. (Y/n) was crushing on someone knowing he'd never be able to embrace Kirishima's muscular body, hold his strong imaginably rough hands or... Kiss those perfect lips of his. (Y/n) was certain that he was to go through life without a person to love and hold.

Yet, despite how he's deemed the relationship forbidden, (Y/n) remained as close as can be with Kirishima. Why at this very moment, (Y/n) had a front row seat to Kirishima's gunshow. That 'front row seat' was Kirishima's bed, but in (Y/n)'s eyes he was lying on a bed fit for a king. Today though, while (Y/n) found Kirishima's daily weight lifting to be the most provocative thing he's came to love about him, today just didn't feel like one of those days. "I call myself a hero even though I'm the biggest coward I know..." Suddenly, Kirishima's show wasn't all that entertaining.

Kirishima just barely heard what his friend had to say. Just one look, and Kirishima could piece together with ease that (Y/n) was deeply troubled and wanted to call for help but something kept him from speaking a word. "We're all cowards in our own way bro," Kirishima allowed his arms to lie at his side, his hands still gripping to the dulled steel of his dumbbells.

(Y/n) continued to lie on the bed, blinking wildly. "You weren't supposed to hear that..."

"It's true though," Kirishima wore a reassuring smile as he sat down beside (Y/n) on the bed. He picked up the rag that was slung around his thick neck to wipe up the sweat that glossed over the expanse of his face. "I'm afraid of a lot of things (Y/n). I'm scared to death of losing my friends, scared that I wouldn't be able to save citizens in trouble, scared of asking out the person I like. See... Even the most brave people can be cowards."

That smile of his, (Y/n) thought as he averted his gaze from Kirishima's crimson. "You like someone?" (Y/n) sighed. Kirishima doesn't like me like that... I know it... I've been crushing on him for over six months now. If he likes anyone, It's Bakugou! Kirishima risked his neck to save Bakugou a while back. Why am I even asking who he likes? Why am I making my own self jealous? I can't even get over my crush on him.

Without much thought towards the question at hand, Kirishima's lips began to form words. "I've liked Ashido even back in junior high. I'm afraid that she'll reject me, afraid that our relationship may forever change, afraid that I may lose her all together if she doesn't see me that way," Kirishima lets out a deep breath while he smiled with content. "That's why I'm not gonna ask. I'd rather keep Ashido as a friend than lose her all together. If it ain't broke don't fix it."

Kirishima... Has my exact same problem. "You're not gonna get anywhere if you don't take chances ya dumbass," (Y/n) wholeheartedly glared at Kirishima. He won't allow Kirishima to make his very same mistakes. "If you like her, go after her..." Ouch, that hurt more coming out than expected.

"I'm sorry," Kirishima scooted away from (Y/n) with his eyes of crimson squinted slightly. "Did I say something to offend you? I'm just saying I don't like Ashido enough to engage y'know? There's some people you know for a fact you're better off remaining as just friends and she's one of them."

(Y/n) sighed, so you're gonna play the friendzone card eh? You do seem like that sort of person. "You may say that now but regret it later."

"Are you in the same boat as me?" Kirishima perked up.

That's the exact problem right now. "You can say that..."

"Well... Who do you like? Maybe we can set each other up!"

"The person I like doesn't... Look in my direction if you get my drift," oh god... I finally came out but why do I not feel good!? For fuck's sake I should've kept my mouth shut! I FUCKING ENGAGED THIS CONVERSATION!!!

"Oh! Ugh... I mean, you never know unless you ask. But that's outta my hands. Sorry." Kirishima scratched at the back of his neck. Eye contact from him was nonexistent like his awareness to put two and two together that one of his best friends was head over heels for him. They really do say brains over brawn and Kiri went with brawn.

Well... Kirishima doesn't sound like he's disgusted with me being gay. That's something. Doesn't mean he's game to it though. I wish he would've said something nicer. "I'll set you up, don't worry," (Y/n) pushed off on the mattress with his hands in order to sit up. "Bros before hoes."

"But... You're setting me up with one," how dense is Kirishima?

(Y/n) mentally facepalmed with a deep groan. "I'm just saying, forget about setting me up alright? Nobody in the class is remotely interested in me anyways and if they are then shoot me with an arrow! You'll be with Ashido in no time." Seriously, if I really do pull through and get him a girlfriend then I'm gonna need some serious shit to distract me. At this point, I'll take a boyfriend in general. Maybe I can talk Bakugou or Todo- Fuck... NO! Really... I know exactly what I'm about to do and I'm regretting everything...

"Thanks bro!" Kirishima pulled (Y/n) into one of those manly hugs as he likes to call it. Kaminari and Kirishima tend to yell 'No Homo' whenever this happens but there's reasons why (Y/n) never says that. (Y/n) on the other hand, wants to vomit realizing what he's just agreed to do. A promise is a promise though, and (Y/n) reluctantly pulled through. Ashido found it awfully peculiar that (Y/n) was becoming buddy buddy with her out of the blue but everything he had to say was music to her pink ears. It took days and desperate hint dropping every now and again about Kirishima's 'interest' in her before Ashido was finally hooked line and sinker.

In fact, on the walk back to the dorms after a long day of school on lucky day number five, she came storming in! (Y/n) could've sworn someone threw the girl because she came in like a rocket!!! Kirishima was thrown from his spot thanks to her tightly clung waist hug. "Oh Kirishima!!!" The pink girl squealed with a cheek nuzzled into the male's backside. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? Yes!!! Yes I'll go out with you," Ashido retracted from Kirishima's behind and scrambled around to face him from the front. She grabbed Kirishima by his ears and pulled him down roughly for a searing kiss.

With each second they continued to kiss, (Y/n)'s heart began ripping apart stitch by stitch like a teddy bear. How... They're still kissing? (Y/n) was beginning to count each and every second they remained connected yet he couldn't pull his eyes from the sight no matter how badly he desired change. Breaths that grew heavy and knives that penetrated his ribcage one after the other. (Y/n) found himself clutching his chest through the many layers of his uniform as his digits dug into his flesh. The newly founded couple pulled away after some time with a desperate heave for air for Kirishima was as crimson as his hair. Ashido wasted no time and stole him away like an eagle to a fish. Kirishima gave (Y/n) a thumbs up as he was being dragged off.

"Fucking sick," Bakugou wretched.

"Hey man," Kaminari playfully punched Bakugou over the shoulder. "Love's for everyone."

"Whatever," Bakugou tuts.

"I'm happy for him," Kaminari hummed. He's known about Kirishima's crush on the pink haired wonder for a few months now. "How about you (Y/n)- Are you okay?" Kaminari turned to face the odd man out of the group, but all that Kaminari found was the overbearing pain that laced (Y/n)'s face from the slightly agape jaw to his eyelids remaining half open to allow pools to form within his normally cheerful eyes. It was that very question that had broken the dam within his friend as he finally allowed his tears to fall. Kaminari, unsure of what exactly just happened, laid a hand upon (Y/n)'s shoulder as he needed all the support he could get his hands on. "What's wrong dude?"

But (Y/n) couldn't speak. Instead, he cried ever harder. "Him..." (Y/n) choked back as to give somewhat of a response. "I love him..."

Kaminari and Bakugou both stared wildly at (Y/n) realizing he was suffering the pain of a broken heart. Since when was this established? Was (Y/n) hiding his true feelings all this time and nobody had a clue? Let alone, they had no idea (Y/n) was head over heels for Kirishima of all people the entire time. "You fucking set them up! If you liked him that much, ask his ass out!!!" Bakugou snapped as he couldn't believe the reality of the situation. Being the heartless guy he was, he may not be all that sensitive to the emotions of others, but he knew that what (Y/n) did was wrong and should've done the opposite.

"That's the thing..." (Y/n) choked back his tears enough to lift his head. Even his eyes were red and laced with an overbearing pain. "I knew it wasn't gonna happen... Me and Kiri... I love him so much that I... I'd do anything to make him happy. Even if... I'm not."

Pride, that's what (Y/n) had. He just did whatever it took to make the person he loves happy at the cost of his own. Bakugou knew this was a battle well fought, "It wasn't the wrong decision, but you could've at least told him how you felt ya dumbass," Bakugou lightly growled. "Now all that's left for you to do is get over him or be a ridiculous piece of shit for the rest of your life..."

Throughout everything, Kaminari remained in the background and it was his time to shine. "Date me," Kaminari exclaimed out of the blue.

"Pft!!! HA HA HA!!!" Bakugou exploded in a howling laughter. He was half folded upon himself with no other choice but to rest within a crouched position. "(Y/n)'s faggot ass dating a skirt chaser like you!?!? HA!!! I'd love to see that!"

And thus, (Y/n) finally earned his first homophobic insult and he came out not even one minute ago, "and you're the reason why I stayed in the closet for so long..."

Within the snap of a finger, Bakugou's cackling ceased all together. "I'm just proving a point," he lazily waved. "Date whoever you want, I couldn't care less. Look at the facts though, how is this pathetic perv gonna date a fag like you."

"You made a legitimate point," (Y/n) sighed. "You could use a nicer term though..."

"I told ya, date whoever the fuck you want. I. Don't. Care."

Yet you keep calling me a fucking fag!!! "YEAH WELL YOU MAKE ME THINK OTHERWISE!!!"

Kaminari stepped between the escalating argument of friends before things could go more south. Knowing Bakugou, (Y/n) included, they wouldn't hesitate to resort to fists. This is one of those rare occasions they haven't done so. "Can we all just agree to say gay and nothing else? Or better yet!!! Just don't bring up (Y/n)'s sexuality altogether!"

"Agreed," Bakugou and (Y/n) nod in unison. While it wasn't a first, those two rarely can come to an agreement.

At last, his friends were at a mutual agreement. Peaceful, that's what it was. Without Kirishima here to act as the glue to keep the group together, Kaminari will have to substitute. He didn't really mind though. In fact, this moment couldn't be anymore perfect! Kaminari took a deep breath in and whipped his head of blonde around as he faced (Y/n) with his head held high. A radiant smile occupying his face, "(Y/n), I know what you're thinking but I meant everything I said! I'd be game to dating ya."

Just for a short second, (Y/n) could feel his heart skip a beat. Kaminari too noticed how his friend's breath hitched for just a brief second and orbs that screamed disbelief. Yet, the satisfaction of (Y/n)'s petrified state soon melted away once (Y/n) diverted his gaze with a frown. "Yeah right..."

"Well..." Kaminari groaned. Might as well come clean. "Fake dating."

"And the truth comes out," Bakugou really can't get off his high horse can he?

Kaminari at this point was ignoring Bakugou as a whole. For he laid a hand upon (Y/n)'s shoulder. (Y/n) glanced at him once more, "I really wanna help you dude. Let's just pretend that we've already been dating for a few weeks but kept it low key because... Well... You seriously just came out to us so why not go all the way?"

"You're right... But your point is?"

Kaminari rolled up his sleeves with a smirk as the best wingman in the world was about to lay down the sickest plans he has hatched as of late. "We go on dates, act all happy like those yucky cliche couples, make sure everyone knows we're an item. If anyone asks, we've been a couple for a while and then BAM!!! Epic break up!" And yet the class idiot came up with this huge and complicated plan on the fly. "You'll run to Kirishima since he's your best friend and he has no choice but to comfort you because he's that good of a person. You can admit to him! Knowing Kirishima, he'll most likely give you a chance. Who knows? Ashido and him may be broken up by the time we break up." Because there's reasons why nobody has asked her out on a date yet.

"Kaminari... I'm stealing Kiri from Ashido... That's wrong..." I'm sorry Denki, but everything you just mapped out sounds heartless. I'm not that heartless and I'm just as much of a jerk as Bakugou most of the time. Bakugou probably isn't that heartless either. I cannot see Bakugou purposefully breaking people up. He said it himself, he recognizes love when he sees it. Even told me to ask out Kirishima even after I set him up with a girlfriend.

"Not really," Kaminari let off a devilish snicker. "She'll come running to me! I get a girlfriend, you get a boyfriend. We all win!!!"

"Still," the boy groaned. "You're the straightest person I know... Besides Mineta... How are we gonna sell that we're a couple? A genuine one. An-and wouldn't it be weird that we're coming out as a couple RIGHT AFTER Kiri and Ashido became an item?" Everyone would know there's something fishy going on!!! Unless (Y/n) actually agreed to Kirishima's idea about having them both set each other up, in which would've actually been a saving Grace right about now, nobody's gonna believe them.

"You're not wrong dude," Kaminari shrugged as he had the exact same thought. "That's why we really gotta sell it." It all came out of nowhere! Kaminari took (Y/n)'s hands and interlocked fingers. The boys could see pink dust (Y/n)'s cheeks becoming ever more prominent with each passing second. "Don't be afraid man! Take the lead! You'd be the dom in the relationship anyways."

(Y/n) choked on his words, "Fucking hell!? We're not in a sexual relationship!!!"

"I'm just sayin'," Kaminari snickered. "You're the dom dude. You're bigger and more controlling than me. Sort of. It looks like you're really sensitive when it comes to love. Unless you want me to be the dom, then I leave that to you."

(Y/n) sighed, "Fine... Let's get back to the dorms... Boyfriend."

"Feel free to call me Babe dude!"

Seriously, what is wrong with Kaminari? "Babe," At this point I give in. Deal with Kaminari's antics for a few weeks and Kirishima will be as good as mine... That's if Kirishima's even open to that sort of thing. I mean, if Kiri doesn't swing that way, dating Kaminari would make great practice. I'm pretty sure he's dated a good handful of girls before meanwhile I haven't even gone on a single date.

(Y/n) and Kaminari took their new relationship nice and slow. Although Bakugou enjoyed being an ass whenever he could and dared them to kiss every now and again knowing for a fact they wouldn't even though they were rolling with the lie that they've been a couple for nearly a month now but kept it 'secret' because (Y/n) was afraid to announce his sexuality. Which was the genuine truth, but Bakugou's games were ruining everything the boys created for themselves. Nobody believed they were a couple thanks to him. Now they had to step up their game.

It started out with cute pet names. More often than not, the boys were calling each other Babe but (Y/n) would sneak in the Pika Boy every now and again. Kaminari would be lying if he said he didn't like the nickname.

Since (Y/n) was never in a relationship before, he was too embarrassed to engage in just about everything. Even going as far as to hide his face within the hood of his hoodie or collar of his uniform and bury those hands of his within his pockets. Kaminari quickly found out that (Y/n) was too embarrassed to engage but was just fine as long as Kaminari suggested or went ahead with anything. Hugs? Just wrap his arms around (Y/n) and he'll break out of his shell soon enough and embrace him in return. Hand holding? Well, as long as Kaminari can manage to get (Y/n) to keep his hands in the open, hand holding was easy. Just snake his hands into (Y/n)'s grasp and he wouldn't hesitate to enterwine his and Kaminari fingers together. Kissing on the other hand, that was out of the question. No matter how much Kaminari could suggest kissing or tapping his own cheek expecting a small peck, (Y/n) refused. (Y/n) wanted to save his first kiss for Kirishima but that didn't stop Kaminari! He'd carefully plan his attack, make sure (Y/n) isn't expecting him then BAM!!! A drive by kiss that'll leave (Y/n) as red as a cherry. Although, Kaminari isn't quite sure if he's red due to anger or embarrassment.

It was always the kisses that made their mark not only on (Y/n) but the entire class as well. While (Y/n) has been undeniably uncomfortable the first few days into his new 'relationship', he's beginning to open up to it and is finally being the one to engage. Sort of. He's still uncomfortable and will gladly engage in hand holding or brief hugs and relies on Kaminari to take things one step further. As expected, people weren't very believing that Kaminari was magically bi or gay and had a boyfriend. Now everyone was watching the new couple like the paparazzi for a sweet scoop! Kirishima x Ashido or Kirishido was nothing as (Y/n) x Kaminari took the spotlight!!!

It was lunch time for the students of UA. Ever since the boys declared their budding romance, they've been sitting beside each other practically glued to each other's sides whenever they could. Since (Y/n) typically likes to take his time when it came to buying lunch, Kaminari made sure to reserve (Y/n) a spot at the lunch table while it began to fill up. Bakugou was the first to arrive, no surprise, followed by Sero and Mineta. Mineta's been sitting at the table more often lately since nobody really enjoys his company besides Kaminari and MAYBE Sero. In reality, Sero has grown to put up with him just enough to get by. Kirishima and Ashido arrived lastly and attempted to sit down together but Kaminari only waved a finger at them as Ashido picked up Kaminari's bag from the seat adjacent to himself. "Nuh uh my Lovelies! This spot is for my other half," and there Kaminari went rubbing his love life within the faces of others.

Mineta sat forward within his seat and cuffed his hands around his mouth. "Knock it with the act Kaminari. I know you aren't gay." Or else the many hours they've spent conversing over their kinks, sharing nudie magazines and watching porn were all a big fat lie and waste of time.

Ashido began to puff out her cheeks looking like a blown bubblegum bubble in the meantime. "We got here first! Why can't we just sit down next to you? (Y/n) isn't even here." The girl was really causing a commotion as it drew the attention of many. Kirishima felt uncomfortable with his girlfriend's bratty behavior.

Through the sea of students, the blonde could just barely make out his beloved's face. "Speak of the devil and he comes~" Kaminari took his bag off (Y/n)'s seat as he approached the table with his carefully selected array of foods from the cafeteria's bar and sat down oh so casually as if Ashido never existed. Actually, (Y/n) really was avoiding Ashido to the best of his ability but he wasn't gonna admit that.

Ashido gasped and stomped around like a child as her opportunity to sit down with her friends was completely passed up. Once more, (Y/n) continued to ignore Ashido despite how badly his gut was busting to keep his laughs concealed. No no, can't laugh. Distract. "Here," (Y/n) sat down a small carton of fries between Kaminari and himself. "I added a little something to them for you."

"Really?" Kaminari picked up a fry. But it looked like any ordinary fry to him.

"I doused them in vinegar."

"Why?"

"Because you told me you like the taste of batteries. Apparently vinegar is the closest you can get to that." (Y/n) was sitting there stating facts. (Y/n)'s long known about Kaminari's habit of sucking on charger cords or large appliance adaptors thanks to him quirk and constant short circuiting, but it wasn't until recently that Kaminari brought up how he enjoys the oddly unique taste of electricity and batteries. It may actually explain why he has so little brain cells, but (Y/n) isn't gonna say anything.

"I never thought about that," Kaminari awed as he finally put the fry to his gaping mouth and munched on it. While the fries were nowhere close to batteries, of which Kaminari has grown accustomed to the taste thanks to his quirk, the mix of potatoes and vinegar was a delicious treat that he would've never thought about and glad to have given them a try. "I like it," Kaminari grinned as he swallowed. "Thanks babe."

"I've never been so confused in my life!!!" Ashido continued her stomping fit. "What is up with you two? Is this some messed up game?"

"You're confused?" (Y/n) squinted his eyes. "No hun, I'm confused. What game?"

"No offense but I don't believe you two are really dating!" Said every person in the school.

"Yeah we hear that alot," (Y/n) remained as blunt as ever.

"I sound like such a jerk right now but can you prove it? I'll leave you two alone if you do."

Oh, is that a bet? "Sure," Kaminari shrugged and faced his lover with an uncomfortable adjustment on his end. When Ashido asked for them to prove it, he very well knew she meant a kiss. (Y/n)'s refusal to kiss him, even on the cheek, is rock solid. They're busted! Well... Might as well try. "Say Babe~" Kaminari sang while (Y/n)'s face remained as bored as ever. "I say we give them a little sneak peek at our after-hours show."

(Y/n) cracked up a little bit. "Knock it off with all your stupid terminology," the boy reached out and held Kaminari by his chin as he leaned in. Kaminari's body went rigid for he never anticipated in a million years that (Y/n) would initiate the kiss. The blonde found (Y/n)'s lips to be softer than expected from the texture to how he lightly nipped at Kaminari's lips for less than a singular kiss but a waterfall of them. One after the other, (Y/n) just kept giving for he held Kaminari's chin with care without any signs as to letting go as his lips gently caressed his own. Kaminari had found himself closing his eyes but it didn't last all that long before (Y/n) pulled back with a devilishly seductive smirk.

That seductive side of (Y/n) wasn't long for this world as it melted away. (Y/n) flicked his wrist wearing his casual resting bitch faced expression as he's known best. "Happy?" He questioned Ashido first hand.

"Yeah," Ashido blinked. Her friends legitimately just made out in front of her. "I'm so sorry guys for... For being such a jerk."

"Come out of the closet they said, it'll be fun they said," (Y/n) mocked everyone at the table and in doing so made Ashido uncomfortable enough to leave.

Much to their surprise, Kirishima didn't follow after her and sat down beside (Y/n) instead. "Knowing you two, I thought you guys were joking around for a while but I had no idea you two were really a couple. Guess I was a jerk too huh?" Kirishima pulled off an awkward smile.

"See," (Y/n) tuts. Nobody beside Kaminari could see the ways (Y/n)'s hand would clench itself into a fist so unbearably tightly that veins were forming. "Of course you'd think that it's a big joke..." Did Kirishima just strike a nerve? (Y/n) has never gotten mad at Kirishima like this before. Not ever.

"Is it?" Kirishima was afraid to hear the answer.

"We're really dating dude," (Y/n) glared at him.

"I'm sorry," Kirishima's stomach was churning with guilt.

"Don't sweat it," (Y/n) hooked an arm around Kaminari's neck as if nothing was wrong. "You motivated me to come out. If anything, thank you."

"Oh," Kirishima was beginning to smile once more. "Yeah, you're welcome. You guys look really happy together."

"I can't say the same about you," (Y/n) snickered. Nope, (Y/n)'s about to unleash hell upon Kirishima.

"Yeah..." Kirishima glanced off to the side. "Ashido's high maintenance. I'm not having a lot of fun but I'll sit through it a little while longer." On the other hand, this was music to (Y/n)'s ears.

"Break up with her sooner rather than later," Kaminari was comfortably resting up against (Y/n)'s side. His head lying upon the other's shoulder. He gave a wink to him as to show he had (Y/n)'s back. "If you lead her on for too long, you'll hurt her more than you think."

"I mean you're not wrong," Kirishima knit picked his food as he let Kaminari's words sink in. "I'll keep that in mind."

Just like Kaminari had warned, Kirishima remained Ashido's boyfriend for a few days too long. She was having problems with Kirishima normally taking Kaminari and (Y/n)'s side on issues like being openly romantic in public, saving spots at lunch or being open about the relationship in general. Kirishima didn't like PDA all that much therefore he wasn't exactly keen on kissing in the open, the relationship was young and plus he'd normally throw out the argument that (Y/n) and Kaminari had been dating for weeks therefore of course they'd be comfortable kissing and hugging within eye's sight of others. The lunch tables thing, well, Kirishima wanted to avoid that argument all together since Ashido promised to drop the argument DAYS ago yet Ashido kept dragging him back into it claiming his friends were being jackasses. Not only was Kirishima not approving of the disrespectful insults coming out from her mouth, but she's slowly looking like the worst person he's ever met with each day he continued to be with her. Till Kirishima finally had to break it off. As expected, Ashido was a crying mess and their relationship will most likely never be repaired. Kirishima would feel bad for her, but he couldn't be evermore thankful than to be out of his toxic relationship.

After hearing of the news, (Y/n) and Kaminari were in the dormitory lounge. Kaminari had his head laid down within (Y/n)'s lap as he casually stroked through his blonde locks. Not many people were in there, so they thought it was alright to talk about personal matters. "Should we break up soon?" (Y/n) abruptly stopped stroking Kaminari's hair. "Kirishido are done for."

"Give it another week," Kaminari manually had (Y/n) stroke his hair again. "If we break up now, everyone will know something's up."

"You got a point," (Y/n) pursed his lips.

"Besides," Kaminari snickered. "I can't be the only one enjoying this fake relationship to some extent."

"Yeah," (Y/n) peered down and locked eyes with Kaminari's gold. "Thanks for everything dude."

"It takes two to tango."

"And two to kiss," (Y/n) bent over and locked lips with Kaminari for a brief second. Once they pulled back, they were a smiling mess. "I'm scared dude..." (Y/n) frowned out of the blue.

"Why?" Kaminari sat up.

"What if Kirishima doesn't see me in a romantic way? I don't... I don't want him and me to end up like him and Ashido. I don't wanna lose him altogether-"

Kaminari suddenly pressed his hand to (Y/n)'s chest. His heartbeat was racing a mile a minute. "You weren't joking when you said you're scared."

"Can I fall back on you in case it doesn't work out?" (Y/n) sighed. His biggest fear right now is to abandon Kaminari to turn to Kirishima. He doesn't want Kirishima to turn him down and Kaminari to turn his back on himself too. Being alone, that's (Y/n)'s biggest fear right about now. "You said it yourself, you like our relationship right now. Are you game to being my real boyfriend if that happens? Or are you seriously still straight and this is all an act?"

"Originally, this WAS all an act," Kaminari sadly admits. It took time to tell him otherwise. "But yeah. I'll be your boyfriend if things don't work out with you and Kirishima. And by the way," the boy cuffed his mouth with one hand. "I was never straight to begin with dude. I'm bi, but clearly I prefer girls." Well... That'd explain a lot actually.

"Now that makes a lot of sense," (Y/n) shook his head with a chuckle. "I couldn't ask for a better friend right about now."

"Glad to be here for ya."

"I'm gonna go see if Kiri's doing alright though..."

"Go get em' tiger!" Kaminari whistled as he shoved (Y/n) from off the couch.

(Y/n) got off from the ground flipping the birdie. "Fuck you Babe!"

Kaminari too flipped him the birdie. "Fuck you too Babe," and he skipped away.

Despite all that just happened, (Y/n) trudged on over to a nearby store and back to Kirishima's room with a bag of things to hopefully help Kirishima feel better after his break up. He seemed just fine earlier, but knowing Kiri, he's probably masking his emotions much like (Y/n) did when he initially set Kiri and Ashido up in the first place and we all know how that ended up. With (Y/n) crying his broken heart out.

Knock Knock Knock!

(Y/n) briefly gave Kiri's door a knock. Much to his surprise, Kirishima answered the door sooner than he ever expected. Kirishima's face was tired, worn out, this break up was surely taking its toll on him. "I brought you a 'hope you feel better' package~" The male sung and Kirishima was gently smiling in response.

"Thanks bro," Kirishima opened up his door some more. "Wanna come in? Or are you and Kaminari THAT sort of couple?" Again... With the dating thing. Kiri's always hung up about their relationship.

"Kaminari doesn't give a damn who I talk to," (Y/n) accepted his friend's invitation and came in. There was a huge box in the middle of Kirishima's room. One look within, and it was filled to the brim with girly stuff like clothes and stuffed animals. "Are these all Ashido's stuff?" (Y/n) picked out a heart pillow that sat on top of it all and gave it an experimental squeeze.

Kirishima scratched the back of his neck, "Yeah..."

"You two were only dating a week!"

"She practically moved in," Kirishima puffed out his cheeks before flopping down on his bed. "Everything moved way too quickly. Now I understand the meaning of Bros before Hoes."

"Hence why I'm dating a guy with the attention span of a goldfish."

"Do they even have an attention span?"

(Y/n) paused for a second, "I don't know."

"What got you two together in the first place?"

"This isn't about me and Pika-Boy," (Y/n) sat down beside Kirishima and handed him the bags he had with him. "We won't be talking about love. These are for you. Now stuff your face!"

"Okay," Kirishima reluctantly opened up the first plastic bag and gasped with stars in his eyes. "Thanks bro!!!"

"I knew you needed a pick me upper," (Y/n) sat back and watched Kirishima delve and toss about the contents of his get well soon gifts. The bags consisted of Kirishima's favorite snacks: Beef jerky, Green tea Pocky and of course even more meat related snacks. By chance, (Y/n) stumbled upon a cute shark plush at a convenience store that was soft and had a cheeky smile. (Y/n) even went out of his way to put a collar on it with 'Kiri Jr' engraved on the tag. Kirishima had Kiri Jr. tucked beneath his arm whilst he shoveled jerky into his face hole and it made (Y/n)'s heart flutter knowing Kirishima was his happy cheerful self again all because of him.

As the boys were casually talking about things, (Y/n) sort of helped himself to the Pocky since Kiri was more invested in the jerky anyway. (Y/n) tried to avoid the subject of dating and stuff but Kirishima kept coming back to it. It all made sense, he did just break up with Ashido today, but it was bothering him too much for (Y/n)'s interest. "So... Back when I initially asked about who you liked and how you came out to me, why didn't you just tell me that you and Kaminari were dating? You both lied to me and kept that secret for what, a month or more? Did you think I was gonna judge you or something? I tell you everything bro," was the subject of his best friends dating each other or the fact that they kept it secret the big problem here? Why is it bothering Kirishima so much?

"I keep telling you," (Y/n) sat forward upon the mattress uncomfortably. "I was insecure. Even my family turned their backs on me and I thought I could trust them the most. I just didn't... I didn't want to risk our friendship telling you that I was gay let alone intimate with your best friend of all people," throughout all this, Kiri wrapped an arm around (Y/n)'s backside. "Even when I told you that I was gay, your reaction wasn't exactly... Great. Even Bakugou had a better reaction than you. You hurt me more than you think Kiri. I was glad I never told you sooner."

"I-I'm sorry," Kirishima didn't expect to hear any of that come out of his friend. "I thought I was being as open and supportive about everything as much as I could."

"I... Felt otherwise."

"You were talking about how you were gay and that your crush was straight. How else was I supposed to act?"

(Y/n) got up from the bed, "The fact that you kept thinking I wasn't being serious with Kaminari just says loads about your character," he made way for the exit. "You have problems with me telling lies and not being open? Maybe you should trust me for beginners and..." Should I just tell him everything? I know this whole argument is something that'll easily blow over but should I go the extra mile? "There's only two reasons why someone would come out to their same sex friend. They either trust them or like them as more than a friend. Connect the dots."

Upon leaving the room, (Y/n) felt nauseous. Yeah, there's no going back now. The best thing that could happen now is that Kirishima would be open to remaining friends but that's probably a dream now. "I just out myself in front of Kirishima," he clutched his stomach. "The fact that he's not chasing after me means... Yeah... Good thing Kaminari... Likes me for real."

(Y/n) began avoiding everyone from that moment on. Or, he wasn't very talkative if you wanna get technical. Kaminari would hug him and annoy him to hell and back yet (Y/n) wouldn't speak a word. Bakugou's faggot insults were only used to elicit a response from (Y/n) but he still wasn't mouthing a word. It was all because of Kirishima. (Y/n) loved Kirishima, held out hope for Kirishima, yet he couldn't even speak to (Y/n). Kirishima didn't know how to respond to (Y/n)'s confession. Or, at least he figured (Y/n) confessed to him. On top of it all, he feels guilty to think that it was because of his own ignorance to figure out (Y/n)'s deeply rooted love for him sooner, of which the signs were all there, that he turned to Kaminari in the first place. (Y/n) gave up loving Kirishima. That's why Kirishima can't bring himself to speak with (Y/n).

(Y/n) practically wallowed in his own depression for nearly a week before Kaminari had to put his foot down. The blonde thought (Y/n) would get over whatever's getting him down long before now, but unless (Y/n) gets the help that he needs, he's only gonna get worse. That's why Kaminari invited himself within (Y/n)'s room. He threw himself atop (Y/n) as he lay on the bed, presumably sleeping. (Y/n) stirred awake nevertheless and Kaminari sighed. "Dude... What's wrong? I'm tired of seeing you like this," no answer. "Kirishima's acting weird too. So I'm guessing you confessed or something?" No answer. "Can you say something?"

(Y/n) struggled beneath Kaminari to look up at him. "Can we just... Can I kiss you?" He spoke with a hand that brushed Kaminari's jaw.

Without words, Kaminari closed his eyes and brought his head down to close the space between them. (Y/n)'s kisses were light and full of passion then grew heavier the longer they remained in this position. (Y/n) gradually sat up, not once breaking apart, only to pin Kaminari upon the mattress beneath him. Their bodies melted and entangled themselves within the other, breathing growing heavy, and the smacking of their lips filled the room. Their bodies did all the talking and it was something else when Kaminari let off an airy moan into (Y/n)'s mouth. (Y/n) removed one of the hands that kept his lover pinned to the bed to fumble with the buckle of his belt.

The clinging of (Y/n)'s belt buckle drew Kaminari out of his lustrous daze and he used all the strength he could muster in order to break their make out session. "(Y/n) don't," Kaminari breathed. "Now's not the time for this."

"Why not?" (Y/n) could only stare down at Kaminari with betrayal.

"I thought the point of us dating was for you to get with Kirishima. This is too soon and... You're not mentally in the right place-"

"But we both agreed that we... That we wanted to date for real."

"(Y/n)," Kaminari could see the pain in (Y/n)'s eyes. "We did but... I also thought we both agreed not to get too attached in case you ended up with Kirishima."

"So you're telling me you led me on for weeks?"

"(Y/n)-"

"Don't (Y/n) me!" (Y/n) snapped. "You know how sensitive I am to these things!!! Did you really expect me to date you without eventually growing attached!? We've been dating for weeks!!! You played with my damn emotions Denki!!!"

"W-what's gotten into you man?" Kaminari didn't understand where any of this was coming from. "I-I think you're just taking your anger out on other people! Is it something that happened between you and Kirishim-"

"Don't fucking bring him up!!!"

"(Y/n) I genuinely care about you but you need to calm down!"

"No you don't," (Y/n) bit his tongue to choke back a cry. "You only dated me to get with Ashido you fucking pervert!"

"You did the same!" Kaminari gasped.

"You never cared about me and neither did Kirishima," (Y/n)'s nailed dug into Kaminari's shoulder.

"Hey now I never said that-"

"Don't you dare talk to me ever again!!!" (Y/n) jumped from Kaminari's body and fled the room just as quickly. His head was hurting, next thing he knew the room was spinning. (Y/n) had no other choice but to collapse onto the nearby wall with hands to dug into his scalp. Everything hurt from his heart to his brain. (Y/n) could hear the doors of his classmate's rooms open and close as well as their footsteps drawing in on him. Yet, he couldn't open his eyes and welcomed the darkness.

Well, was that angsty enough for you. The optional endings for Kaminari and Kirishima will be uploaded either tomorrow or in a few days.
