Kirishima's Pov.

 I thought I had gained some ground in my relationship with Bakugo. Though, I guess I didn't know him as well as I thought. He did run away and I knew nothing about it, and still don't know why he would have reason to in the first place. Maybe he was tired of all of us and just left. It didn't help when I started walking away and Bakugo just stayed quiet without giving me any further hints about whether or not he was going to follow through with leaving again.

 However, I heard the bathroom shower start so it gave me a sense of slight comfort knowing that he was at least taking part in what I offered him. The kitten had trailed behind me shortly after I had left my room. As of right now, I was sitting on the living room couch with the cat curled up in my lap purring silently.  All I could hope for is that nothing is troubling Bakugo. If he did leave because he hated all of us then so be it, I would just have to get over it. But if he left because something was hurting him then I have to try and help him, even if I have to annoy Bakugo a bit to get it out of him. After all, it wouldn't be very manly if I just sat by and didn't offer help. 

 I'm aware Bakugo's not the kind of person to open up to others but I would still like to try and be the first. Without getting an explosion to the face that is. I can't help but admire how stubborn he is though. Anyone else might see it as annoying but I think it's manly. He chooses what he wants to do and doesn't let anyone change his mind. And he sure as hell doesn't give people the chance to tell him he's wrong. I would never be able to do that. I'm constantly doubting myself. 

 The water shut off and a while after I hear the bathroom door open, and out of it a pissed-off Bakugo. He wasn't awake before so I don't think he knew what was going on at the moment. That and he wasn't in the mood to punch someone. I couldn't say the same for right now, unfortunately. 

"You mind explaining why the fuck you decided to step in where it wasn't needed." He wasn't even yelling yet but he was definitely mad. 

"Look, I was only trying to help. As your friend, it would be kinda shitty if I just left you."

Bakugo's Pov.

The hell did he just say. He's kidding right. God, he acts like I'm pathetic. It's obvious he's been acting this whole time we were friends.

"Why would it even matter! You can't possibly enjoy being around me! My fucking mother probably bribes you or some shit to put up with all of it! Well, guess what! I'm no longer her problem so I don't have to be yours either, your fucking free!" Tears were prickling at the corners of my eyes. I am pathetic. He's not even wrong. I paused a second to try and control the sniffles coming from me. "I'm leaving now. Don't come looking for me. I don't need your pity and you don't need to waste your goddamn time. And take care of the stupid cat." 

 I didn't bother to look at his face. Simply didn't want to. I just turned and tried to walk to the door. Emphasis on the word tried. What happened is I ended walking straight into another body. This idiot needs to give it up. 

"Bakugo. You're not leaving." This was the first time I've heard Kirishima like this. I honestly don't know if he's more upset than me right now but his tone sounds like it. 

"Move out of my way shitty hair." 

"Knock it off man! You can't just say all that horrible stuff about yourself and then leave!" I watched as he took a deep breath before speaking again. "Please, just let me talk to you a bit. At least about how nothing of what you said just now is nowhere close to being the truth. After you can leave. Just hear me out." 

Without saying anything I walk back and collapse on his couch. He can try but this is pointless. Might as well try and give someone what they wish before walking out though. This is the only time I'll ever listen to someone. Don't know why, but for him, I would try.

I feel really bad. I haven't been able to write at all for a while. There have been problems that have been restricting me from doing so. Even as I wrote this chapter I know it wasn't the best. I'm going to try and make up for it cause I do want to make this a good read for everyone. I hope everyone is doing well themselves. If you have any questions or corrections about the story please bring them up and I will always try and reply.
