Part 3
Part 4
â
The next day, Kirishima went over to Bakugoâs place. He was visibly nervous but he had to complete his part of the deal, especially since youâve already done your part. Bakugo and Kirishima were sitting across from each other, both with their phones in their hands. Kirishima scrolls through his phone nervously, trying to come up with a way to bring up the situation between you two. He decides to just go for it and clears his throat.
âAhem⊠so, when should we all hang out together again?â Kirishima asks, not daring to look at Bakugo just yet. Bakugo tenses at hearing that. Hanging outâŠtogether⊠again? He couldnât imagine it, things felt awkward with you and him, itâll only make it worse with everyone together as a group. You wouldnât know how to act around each other.
âI donât know,â Bakugo replies dryly. As he continues to stare into his phone.
âHave you uh⊠talked with Y/n lately?â
âWhy?â
âI mean⊠youâve both been a little⊠distant?â
âWhy do you care?â
âWell⊠youâre both my friends of course,â silence lingers for a moment, âso, did something happen between you two?â
âItâs⊠nothing.â
âCmon! I know itâs not just ânothingâ. Arenât they like your best friend? Your friendship didnât just break off, did it?â Kirishima finally looks up at Bakugo and takes his silence as an answer. âNo wayâŠâ
âIt didnât end. Weâre justâŠâ Bakugo couldnât finish his sentence. He didnât even understand what was going on between you two. Is it really over? Or is this just a temporary distance between each other?
âJust what?â
âI donât know⊠and quit asking questions.â
âListen, Iâm just trying to help you both out somehow. Youâre my friends but⊠if you donât want to talk about it thatâs fine too,â just like that, Kirishima gives his phone his full attention again. He tried, but it didnât seem like Bakugo would budge-
âWe had an argument, sort of.â Kirishima immediately puts his phone down upon hearing that.
âWhat? Seriously? About what?â It was at this moment, Kirishima had seen something heâd never expected to see. Bakugo was⊠fidgeting? He was fidgeting with his own hands. âListen man, you donât have to tell me if-â
âShe was hanging out with someone. Someone⊠I donât like.â
âWho?â
âMidoriya.â
âMidoriya? I donât get it, heâs a good guy isnât he?â
âThatâs the problem. It pisses me offâ Pisses him off? What the hell does that mean? âY/n said they were just âhanging outââ thatâs when it suddenly clicked like a light bulb. Kirishima was putting things together now, was this jealousy Bakugo was experiencing? Or is this something deeper?
âAnd?â
âIt looked more like a date.â
âBakugo, if Y/n wants to go on a date they can, itâs not our place to tell them who they can and canât date. I mean Midoriya looks like he would treat them ri-â
âNo,â Kirishima is immediately caught off guard by the firm ânoâ. What does he mean ânoâ- âI canât have that. I canât⊠stand it.â
âWhy not..?â
âIt makes me mad. She has me why would she have to-â
âYou like Y/n?â Bakugoâs eyes widen for a moment and he immediately tries to go back to a face of indifference.
âThe hell? Of course not. Sheâs my⊠best friend. Thatâs all,â Kirishima smirks at Bakugoâs reply.
âJust a best friend?â
âYeah, what else?â
âI donât think a friend would get jealous of who youâd date like that,â Bakugo stops fidgeting for a moment and simply looks down at the palms of his hands. His heart pounding wildly as he tried to focus to calm his racing heart. Is this what it was? âFace it Bakugo, you like her.â
âDo I?â Bakugo asks, his voice shaking slightly. Heâs never felt so⊠vulnerable and exposed. He hated it, this feeling. It seemed like Kirishima knew more about his emotions than himself.
âSeems like it to me.â
âWhat the hell am I supposed to do?â
âBe a man.â
âWhat?â
âYâknow, tell them how you feel. Donât be a coward or else⊠someone else might get to them before you doâ says Kirishima as a way to provoke Bakugo and give him that push. Of course, it totally worked. Bakugo clenched his fists and stood up.
âLike hell I would,â just as Bakugo was about to leave to find you Kirishima grabs him by the wrist.
âWoah hey⊠you canât just barge out looking for them!â
âWhy not? I need to tell them before⊠before someone else takes them away from me.â
âI get that but⊠you both did have an argument and youâve been awkward with each other for a while now.â
âSo?â
âDonât you think Y/n deserves an apology?â Bakugo goes silent and thinks to himself. He is the reason why youâre both like this now. He let his jealousy overwhelm him and caused a scene.
âWhat do you suppose I should do?â Kirishima smirks upon hearing the question.
âSurprise them.â
âWhat?â
âYeah! Cmon Iâll help you, think of me as your⊠wingman!â
âWingman?â
âYeah, then you can return the favor.â
âWait- you like someone?â Kirishima blushes profusely at hearing that.
âWell duh. Ashido?â
