BACKGROUND: After season 3, won't be a spoiler for it but you know if you know. Bakugo had a bad day and ends up in front of Kirishima's dorm. A couple weeks ago while playing truth or dare Kaminari dares Bakugo to learn morse code. Bakugo, never backing down from a dare, begrudgingly learned. Kirishima learned too, saying it's "A good thing to know incase there's ever a villain with a super hearing quirk." In actuality he just wanted to spend more time with Bakugo.


*Knock* Kirishima gets up, setting his books on his desk.


"Oh hey Bakugo! Were we supposed to study today?" Kirishima greets as he opens he door. Bakugo shakes his head, staring at the ground.


"Dude are you okay? Do you want to come in?"
Bakugo walks in and sits on the bed, his back against the wall curling in on himself.


This isn't the first time Kirishima's seen Bakugo like this. Ever since he's started to control his anger, when he gets upset he shuts down so he doesn't explode. Normally Kirishima talks about random things until Bakugo either falls asleep or starts responding.


"Today before you got to the table Sero dared Kaminari to shock Mina when she sat down. That's why he was short circuited and there was a hole in the floor. It was hilarious but kinda backfired on Sero because he had to deal with Kaminari like that. It-" Kirishima is cut off by a series of taps on his arm.


.... ..-  - -.


Translation: hug.


It took Kirishima a moment to decipher the taps but immediately he pulled Bakugo into a hug. Normally Bakugo wasn't a huge fan of being hugged, any attempt by Kirishima normally ended in a few explosions going off, not that he minded. He saw it as good practice for activating his quirk without a warning. But this raised huge red flags for Kirishima, how upset does Bakugo have to be to ask for a hug when he won't even ask for a spare pencil.


"Bakugo what's wrong?" No response.


"C'mon man i can't help if I don't know what's bothering you." Yet again, no response. Instead Bakugo curls his fists into Kirishima's shirt and tries to bury himself deeper into his friend. Kirishima sighs but tightens the hug.


"I know you don't think being upset is manly but it is! It's okay to get upset and I know you've been trying to control your anger and we're all so proud of you but sometimes it's good to let it out, especially instead of letting it build up. I'm not gonna force you to talk or anything but Bakugo, I'm gonna listen to what you say and I won't make fun of you I promise. And if you wanna just vent without my opinion on the matter that's okay too, just, this isn't healthy, holding everything in." At first nothing happens, but then his body starts to shake and Kirishima's shirt grows damp.


Kirishima moves his hand to Bakugo's hair and tightens his grip on his friend with his other. He starts to gently rock them side to side just barely, not enough for the other to notice, but just enough to help him start to calm down.


"After Kaminari short circuited Sero had to go find Shinsou to take care of him and it was great seeing the look on his face. He was so confused about how Kaminari got like that but he still took him to his dorm. I'm sure he's fine now but neither showed up for the rest of the day. Mina's gonna have a hay day on Monday when she sees them again. I can picture it now." Kirishima quietly laughs. "Kaminari's gonna be bright red. Probably like my hair." Bakugo lets out a small laugh.


"Keep talking-" Bakugo's voice cracks, "Please.." Kirishima nods and continues on.


"The last time we played truth or dare Kaminari tried to get me to dare you to dye your hair a funky color. You're lucky I talked him out of it. Well I guess he's lucky right?" He laughs. "He wanted either black or green. We all know you'd rock whatever color you have but I didn't wanna have to break out the bleach to get your hair back to normal. That reminds me my roots are growing out, do you think you could help me? I can do it myself of course but it's a lot easier if someone else does the back." No response.


"Bakugo?" He looks down. Bakugo fell asleep at some point in his story. Kirishima tried to maneuver his way out from under Bakugo but Bakugo's grip gets tighter. He sighs.


"If you blast me in the morning when you wake up you owe me lunch." He laughs and pulls the blanket up over the blonde.


"Goodnight Bakugo, don't worry it'll be okay, I won't let you go through this alone." He leans back against the wall and closes his eyes. Little did he know Bakugo was semi-conscious and heard everything he said.
