Watching Kirishima sleep, his mind is clouded with worry for his friend. The security footage showed a side of Kirishima that he had never seen before. From his understanding of the situation, Kirishima freaked out from being grabbed by a stranger and then had a full-blown episode when the gun was brought to attention.

Something had must have happened while he was away. The terrified boy cowering in his kitchen was not the same boy he knew in high school.

Kirishima was dropped into his life suddenly after 5 years of no contact and has triggered something inside him that wants nothing more than to help the redhead.

Shifting his body slightly, he curls his arm back around Kirishima's waist and watches him sleep for a while longer. He almost falls asleep himself before Kirishima's body twitching out of slumber has him pulling away and sitting up, giving him some space to ensure he doesn't feel crowded.

A small yawn parts his lip and Bakugou sits silently, waiting to see any distress his friend might be in.

However, there is none.

Kirishima blinks a few times as if trying to remember where he is before he rolls over and faces where the ash-blond sits in bed beside him. Kirishima's face turns pink before he looks away nervously and sighs.

"Was I out long?" He finds himself smiling at the red strands of hair that stick up all over the place from his napping. This should feel strange, him in his bed like this, but instead, it feels natural.

"You slept for 2 hours; I think you needed it." Looking at Kirishima, he watches as the boy stretches out and slowly sits up, his cheeks still painted pink. There is a long pause where both men sit together, not sure what to say. Bakugou had tons of questions but knows that he won't get anything out of Kirishima like this.

Kirishima came here today to learn and be taught.

And learn, he shall.

"Thank you..." Bakugou has spent the last 2 hours mulling over their situation and desperately trying to find a solution to help Kirishima. He knows that trying to address the situation head-on will more than likely make him run and avoid him.

That is the last thing he needs, is for Kirishima to avoid him because he pushed too hard and too soon to be let into his personal life. Instead, he came to the conclusion that Kirishima's submissive training will start now.

If the redhead fights his next move, he will let Kirishima go and return when he is ready. If he follows along and accepts his next move, he will slowly begin to work on building that type of trust and relationship where Kirishima will willingly confide in him and allow him to guide him.

With his mind made up, he turns towards his friend and carefully takes hold of his face, turning his head to look him in the eyes.

"Thank you, what?"

Watching as Kirishima's eyes widen, his cheeks turn red as his eyes become half-lidded with emotions that he's sure the redhead is fighting with.

It only takes a few seconds before the ash-blond notices Kirishima's resolve marking in his strawberry eyes, a deep breath is sucked in through his plump lips and his eyes flutter shut.

Relaxation and acceptance falling over his body.

"Thank you, sir..." Kirishima breaths out before chewing on his bottom lip, his eyes open but they look anywhere other than his face. With his answer, Bakugou knows that this is what the boy needs. He needs structure, guidance, discipline, and affection.

"Good boy," Cooing gently, he brushes his fingers along his cheeks before removing his hands and sitting back. Kirishima looks dazed and confused, yet something sparkles in his eyes.

"You... still wanna help me?" Kirishima asks quietly, making him reach out and cup his jaw, turning his face back towards him. When the redhead's eyes land on him, Kirishima's body relaxes again, making the blond hum in thought.

It seems that he will have to make Kirishima look at him more often when he is nervous.

"I won't ever abandon you again, pet. I need you to trust me, to let me guide you, to entrust me with your fears and desires. Let me lead you, give me your submission and I will give you freedom."

Speaking softly, he knows he means every word he says to his friend. He will guide him, teach him, protect him, and show him a path to his freedom he so desperately craves.

He will show him the way and let him go, Kirishima doesn't belong to him. It's not his job to take on all his baggage, Bakugou knows his place is to teach him how to submit and then help him find a dominant that can dedicate all his time to dominating Kirishima's life the way the boy needs.

Kirishima rolls his lip between his teeth and takes a shaky breath.

"Yes sir, I trust you. Please, help me..." The weak sound in his friend's voice has his heart squeezing in his chest. He has never felt his heart in this type of pain before, not even when he left Dime or when his father passed away.

That had been heartbreak, this was new, sympathy, and adoration.

"Good boy. Let's go to my office and we can discuss this more. There are rules you will need to follow and things we need to talk about before we begin your training."

Standing out of bed, he holds his hand out to Kirishima who quickly takes hold and stands up beside him. Keeping a firm grip on his hand, Bakugou leads him to an office down the hall where he keeps spare contracts and materials that will be beneficial for Kirishima to look over.

Once inside the office, Kirishima takes a seat at the desk as he pulls a folder out of the desk drawer. Walking over to the bookshelf he pulls a few books and takes them over to the desk where Kirishima is sitting.

"First thing's first, you will address me as 'sir' from here on out. I will be taking care of your submissive training and then helping you find a permanent dominant if that is what you'd like. what do you know about sub training?"

Kirishima has a permanent blush on his cheeks that tells Bakugou he is nervous about this conversation. He is an open book, easy to read.

"Okay... sir... I know a little about the training from Denki. He said it was things like... positions and rules, as well as learning how to submit fully and discover yourself. He said it is a time to learn how to trust your dominant..."

Nodding, he is pleased to hear that Kirishima has received good information from Denki and hasn't been corrupted by internet sites.

"I will lend you these two books as well as this folder. The books go over things you will need to know, things like hard and soft limits, trust, communication, and honesty. The folder has a rough draft contract that we will fill out together over time. Your training should only last a month at least but sometimes it can take longer if you are having trouble with things."

Kirishima flips open the book and looks at the table of contents, probably looking at the subjects the book will be going over.

"Umm...sir... I won't have to like... do sexual things with you... will I?" Tilting his head at the stuttering, he sighs and shakes his head. The point of training is not for sexual gratification, although sometimes it can be added in, it can be done without sexual contact. However, he will be seeing him naked quite a lot.

"No pet, we will not be having sex or having any form of sexual contact. However, during training, you will be naked when in my home. This is not for my pleasure, but for your own self-discovery and confidence. You will need to trust me to do what's best for you. I will never put you in a situation where you will be in harm's way, and you will be expected to do as I order without hesitation. I will expect complete submission from you, that is how you will learn."

Kirishima opens and closes his mouth a few times, he seems to be searching for the right words.

"You've said that you trust me, do you honestly, Eijiro? As I said, this is important. I will gain your undoubting trust over the next few weeks, but you need to at least have some trust for me now."

Taking the book from his hands, Bakugou sets them down on the desk and looks at him seriously. This won't work if he doesn't trust him. It's his job to show his sub that he is worthy of trust, it's the sub's job to give the dominant opportunities to gain that trust.

"Yes... sir. I do trust you; I will do my best." Smiling gently, he walks around to where Kirishima is seated and helps him to his feet. Today has been a long day and he is aware that Kirishima needs rest and to look over the contracts as well as read those two small chapter books.

Holding his hand, he takes him back towards the living room.

"Sir?"

Kirishima's small voice brings a smile to his face, it's nice to hear someone call him that again. He knows that he is called sir on the daily from staff, but from Kirishima it is different. He knows the significance behind the redhead's words.

"Yes, pet?

Kirishima looks around the living room and blushes.

"Do you have... a room? L-Like the ones at the club, w-with all the chains and whips..." Blushing from his own words, Kirishima looks away and it's endearing to see him so flustered. He can't hold back the laugh that leaves his body.

"I have a playroom here, yes. However, it's not all that 'chains and whips' stuff, pet. I do have chains, as well as whips, but there is much more to that room than pain. It is designed for pleasure. Nonetheless, we won't be going in there as there is no need for such things with your training. However, if you are disobedient, we might go in for punishment, but I don't want you to automatically associate the playroom with punishments."

Kirishima nods and he relaxes some knowing that he cleared up that bit of information before he got the wrong idea. Playrooms are designed for pleasure; they assist in helping a submissive give up their control and they give extra ways for a dom to take control.

"I need you to keep an open mind as you read these documents and books. I want you to make notes with any questions you may have, and in a few days, we will meet up again to go over any questions you may have. When you find a dominant, they will be pleased that you have taken the time to look over these things. It will make things run smoother for you both."

Gently, he strokes through Kirishima's unruly hair, helping to lay down the runaway strands before he pulls away. Kirishima blushes and nods his head. Bakugou is impressed at how well his friend is taking all the information.

He knows he made the right choice by taking control of the situation. Kirishima would have gone off the rails after what happened earlier, he needed to take control fast and bring some structure to his life before he did something that would harm himself.

Without knowing much about his situation or bad habits, all he can do is quickly take control of Kirishima's life and body, making him submit to him and teaching him that living in submission will bring him the freedom he so desperately wants.

"Thank you, sir, for everything. I will text you when I am home."

Kirishima begins walking to the door, but Bakugou rushes forward and blocks his path. There are some things that need to be said before he leaves this house.

"I need you to be honest with me, pet. If you cannot be honest with me, this will not work out. As for this month, you belong to me, meaning I need to know as much as I can. However, I won't force you to tell me anything at all, I will only ask you and hopefully, you will find it in you to trust me with your honestly. Do you understand, pet?"

Speaking firmly, he needs to make Kirishima understand that this is a two-way deal. He needs the truth if he will ever do any good in Kirishima's life.

"... Yes, sir... I will do my best, to be honest with you..."

"Good boy, so now I need to know some things before I let you leave. Can you answer some things for me?"

Bakugou watches as he fidgets in his spot, his eyes show his unease and distrust, almost as if expecting the worse. However, he nods his head quickly, prompting the blond to ask his questions.

"Do you have any habits that you think could become dangerous to your health?"

Asking this, he knows that either Kirishima will be honest or he will lie to cover his ass, but he needs to know. It is important for him to know if there are any issues going on that might lead to him getting hurt.

There is a pause and it looks as if Kirishima is struggling with himself, his face turns red and his eyes screw shut. Reaching out, he carefully caresses his friend's jawline, brushing his other hand along his arm soothingly.

He doesn't say anything, only comforts the boy silently as he makes his choice.

"I... have a drinking problem, sir... It only came up recently, I have trouble sleeping and dealing with my anxiety, and the alcohol helps. That's all, I promise..."

Sighing, it hurts him to know that his friend is struggling this much. He only steps forward and pulls Kirishima into his arms, hugging him and placing a kiss on the top of his head.

"Thank you for being honest with me, pet. That was very brave of you. Now, I expect you not to drink anymore when you are not with me. For now, I need you to do this to earn my trust. If you have a craving, text or call me. I will always answer your calls, I might miss a text so if it's a craving or something important, please call me. I will help you through it. Can you do that?"

Kirishima nods into his chest and pressed closer, it is clear that he enjoys the physical contact. It makes him smile knowing that Kirishima feels comfortable around him, they had such a great friendship all those years ago. It would be a shame if Kirishima was terrified of him now as well.

"Good boy. Now, drive home safe and text me when you get there. Let me know if the books confuse you or if the contract has anything you don't understand. I am sure Denki will gladly help you as well, but if you should feel comfortable enough with me to discuss them with me as well. Okay?"

"Yes, sir. I will text you if I have any concerns."

Kirishima quickly wraps his free arm around Bakugou again before pulling away with a blush.

"This means a lot to me, I... I really need something good in my life... I need something to help me... So, thank you for giving me a chance..."

Shaking his head, he has it all wrong. Bakugou would do anything for Kirishima, the redhead has always had a soft spot in his heart. If that means taking on the responsibility of training a sub from the ground up, he would do it if it helps him.

"Eijiro, I thought you knew by now... I would do anything for you. I will never abandon you again."
