Shuichi - NO-

"Wait one second-" Bakugo looked up from his phone with A Traitor's Love open. "What do you mean 'The End'?"

"Yeah!" Kirishima laughed as he put his arm around Bakugo. "We've only just left UA, there's so much more to do together!"

"MORE! MORE!" Toga squealed with delight.

"I swear if she attacks us one more time-" Bakugo growled.

"Not making any promises." Dabi winked. 

"DAAABBIIIIII!!!!" Mina whined. "JUST LET THEM NE A HAPPY COUPLE!!!"

"But seriously," Kaminari chipped in. "This can't be the end...right?"

A Traitor's Love - Part 22

"What? No, I can't let you-" Kirishima protested.

"Then you're not getting your crutches back." He sighed. "I'm not walking back into that classroom without a quirk. I'm not going to be Deku..." Bakugo said firmly.

Kirishima gave in. "Fine." Bakugo handed him his crutches back and Kirishima stood up.

Packing up their dorm rooms was a painful experience, physically and mentally. Kirishima couldn't bend down and Bakugo struggled to pick up heavy things. The word had gone round that they were leaving and nobody could believe it. Bakugo was trying to get his laptop in it's bag with not much luck as he could only use one hand when there was a knock at the door.

"Kirishima?" Bakugo called to the door.

"No, it's Midoriya and Todoroki!" Deku opened the door.

"Go away, nerds!"

"Bakugo, we came to help you pack up." Todoroki said calmly.

"It's hard for you to pack up an entire room with a broken arm, right Kacchan?" Deku smiled.

"Elbow." Bakugo corrected. "Fine...There's a load of boxes underneath my bed...fill them up...BUT DON'T TOUCH MY PRIZED POSSESSIONS, DEKU YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN."

Deku laughed. "I know..." He crawled under Bakugo's bed and pulled out boxes, passing them to Todoroki, who started boxing up Bakugo's clothes.

A similar but calmer scene was  taking place in Kirishima's room. Ashido, Kaminari and Sero were helping Kirishima pack up, a mixture of tears and trying to make the most of it.

"We're not gonna have a Bakusquad anymore..." Ashido sighed.

"Yeah..." Kirishima sighed. He hadn't told them why they were leaving- Well...he did talk about the quirkless stuff but not the villain stuff. Kaminari suddenly emerged from underneath Kirishima's bed, having cleared it out, coughing.

"Geez...it's dusty under there!" Everyone laughed at how dusty Kaminari's hair and face looked.

Kirishima's room was packed up before Bakugo's because of the power in numbers (Four people in Kirishima's room and two in Bakugo's, not counting Bakugo because his arm restricted him too much) so Sero and Kaminari went to help Deku and Todoroki (Earning a few yells) while Ashido talked with Kirishima outside. Soon, Bakugo was packed up.

Ashido insisted a picture before they left so they all posed in front of a Polaroid camera, Bakugo and Kirishima in the middle of the group. They took enough for everyone to have a picture out of the group before everyone carefully hugged Kirishima and Bakugo (Who tried to escape.) Finally, the boys looked back at their school before leaving it forever.

"So..." Bakugo began. "What now?"

"Well...how about." Kirishima painfully got on his knee and held out a protein bar. "Will you be my boyfriend, Katsuki Bakugo?"

Bakugo laughed. "You already know the answer..."

He took Kirishima's protein bar and helped him up.

"Yes." He whispered before giving Kirishima a kiss.

The end

?

A Traitor's Love - Part 21

Over his time in hospital, Kirishima had come to the decision that he would tell the pro heroes about his involvement in the league. He decided he wouldn't honey coat it by admitting he didn't have a choice so he was perfectly aware how much backlash he was going to get. Ashido had made Kirishima and Bakugo aware that they were going to be questioned by the school so he knew he would say it then, hoping Bakugo would support the truth. What he didn't know was that Bakugo had been planning exactly the same.

Bakugo knew there was no chance of becoming a hero now that he was quirkless. He knew there was no All Might there to give him his quirk like he did with Deku and he certainly wasn't going to see All For One. Bakugo now wasn't afraid to throw away his pride because he knew if he told anyone in the class that he was quirkless, he wouldn't have any pride left. He was doing this for Kirishima because he had nothing left to lose.

Their reunion with their classmates was short because Aizawa quickly pulled them away for questioning. Nervously, they sat down in front of a small selection of teachers, including Nezu.

"How are you boys feeling?" Nezu asked.

"Tired..." Bakugo murmured.

"Same...plus these crutches are taking a while to get used to." Kirishima sighed.

"At least you're both okay." Nezu suddenly got serious. "Now, we're trying to figure out how the league got past our security to capture-"

"It was my fault." Bakugo interrupted. The whole room was silent in shock. "I've...I've bern working for the league for a while now...Since my first capturing...The league wanted me to come to a meeting the day I was captured...They called me while I was studying with Kirishima...Naturally, he found out so I knocked him out...Turns out the league wanted something to do with him so they were grateful when warp guy came to pick me up...But it turns out they wanted both of us so they took me as a hostage too...Enough honey talk, it's my fault." With each lie Bakugo told, Kirishima felt the weight on his shoulders  get even heavier.

"Well, thank you fir being honest-"

"WAIT!" Kirishima yelled. "Bakugo, why would you say all of that? None of this is your fault! It's all my fault and you know it so don't pin it on yourself! I'm the traitor in the room, you called me that yourself! Stop lieing! None of this is your fault, I'm the one responsible for both of your kidnappings!"

No one knew what to say. The teachers were shocked at how freely they were speaking but Bakugo was shocked when he heard how long Kirishima's involvement with the league has been.

"Yeah...I'm sorry I didn't tell you but we had bigger priorities at the time..." Kirishima sighed. "I joined soon after the internships...At the training camp, I gave away our location."

"Then why did you save me?" Bakugo was confused. "Deku told me you lead the rescue operation."

"I know it sounds petty but I felt guilty..." Kirishima felt himself about to cry. "I thought I'd be fine...I thought it would just be an easy attack...I...I didn't know that you were the target...If I'd have known...I would have never agreed to it...Even with your neck on the line- Wait that doesn't make sense..."

"What doesn't make sense?" Nezu questioned.

"The league told me that if I didn't do what they wanted me to do, they would kill you...But by doing their bidding...I am hurting you..." Kirishima suddenly felt angry at the league. "Case closed. I'm to blame...I'll be going home now." He reached for his crutches but Bakugo grabbed them.

"What do you mean?"

"After all I've done, naturally I'm expelled...But even if I wasn't there's not much chance of me becoming a hero quirkless..."

Bakugo stood up and walked to the other side of the room with Kirishima's crutches.

"Hey! Give those back-"

"Not until you take back everything you just said."

"Bakugo I'm not staying-"

"Then neither am I."

A Traitor's Love - Part 20

Kirishima's crimson eyes met Bakugo's blood red pair before he leaned in and kissed his bomb boy. The kiss was short because they were in public...and also because it had been arranged for Ashido, Kaminari and Sero to pick the pair up in a taxi so they were currently standing in the doorway.

"KIRISHIMA! BAKUGO!" The trio cried, Ashido squealing with excitement. They ran up to Kirishima and Bakugo, ready to hug before Bakugo yelled- "INJURIES, IDIOTS."

The squad looked slightly disappointed but Kirishima laughed.

"Okay, if you're gentle, you can hug me, but only if you're gentle!"

Ashido hardly put Kirishima's condition into practice as she launched a huge hug attack on Kirishima, causing him to stumble back into the reception desk.

"OI! HE SAID BE CARFUL!" Bakugo screamed but he had to admit how happy he felt seeing Kirishima happy with the squad.

During the taxi drive, Ashido filled Bakugo and Kirishima with what had happened recently.

"Since your capturing, the school's been implementing even more security to the school, particularly the dorms. We were instructed to 'stay out if trouble' while this was going on so we had a month and a half to ourselves due to the teachers helping plan and assess these new measures...Actually, some of us with quirks that produce stuff were able to help like Mineta, Todoroki and Yao-Momo. I even helped a few times by shaping things using my acid! Sero also helped out alot and Kaminari..." She and Sero laughed.

"H-Hey! I tried to help!" Kaminari protested.

"So what about the last few weeks after the new security was implemented?" Kirishima asked.

"Not much, just taking our safety into our own hands by making our own dorms equipped like forts!" Sero smiled. "I think mine was the best-"

"Yeah, but tape has a lot of uses! Some of our quirks did nothing to help like Ojiro's and Hagakure's..." Ashido pointed out.

"My..." Kirishima paused, looking at Bakugo. "...quirk...uh...not very useful in that situation..."

"Well you only missed out on a few actual lessons so it'll be easy to catch up when you return."

"Yeah..." Kirishima could feel the weight on his shoulders growing. There was something he had to do but nobody knew yet...not even Bakugo.

[tammytheartist]

A Traitor's Love - Part 19

2 months later...

Kirishima and Bakugo had both sustained serious injuries during the conflict. Kirishima's head was injured as well as his thigh rendering his left leg useless while Bakugo's elbow was stopping the use of his right arm, unfortunately his dominant arm. They spent a physically and emotionally painful 2 months recovering in the hospital, unable to see each other due to their different treatment needs. They were occasionally visited by their classmates on the weekends. Everyone in Class A (as well as some from other classes) had visited the boys at least once but Kaminari, Ashido, Sero, Deku and Tetsutetsu were the most common visitors (Well, Tetsutetsu usually stayed away from Bakugo.) At first, Bakugo and Kirishima would use their visitors to give short messages to each other like "I hope you're okay" or "I'm coming out in a few weeks, you?" but they found it even more painful hearing (mainly) Mina and Deku say the words, not the actual person. And, of course, they could only send words of friendship because they were nervous of how the other would react if their friends knew about their love.

Eventually, they were released from the hospital. Bakugo's elbow was in a sling and his hair had been tamed.  Kirishima in the other hand had to use crutches. Luckily, his head looked fine besides his new hair. During his head's treatment, Kirishima's hair had been shaved off. After not being able to cut his fast-growing hair or dye it back red, he exited the hospital with very long black hair. He promised himself that as soon as he could he would dye it red again.



(A.N. - I forgot to draw the crutches XD)

It was because of this that Bakugo didn't recognise him at all when they went to sign out. He was walking towards the desk while Kirishima was signing out.

"-rishima." Was all Bakugo heard when he joined the line

The desk lady typed into her keyboard. "You know, that guy you came in with is also leaving today. Might be worth waiting for him if you haven't got plans. You guys haven't seen each other in months."

"I know." Kirishima laughed. "That's what I planned. I don't remember what injuries he had but it can't get much worse than mine...I hope..." He looked down at his crutches.

"No, he smashed his elbow, that's not even an exaggeration...It was really bloody..." She noticed his worried expression. "Hey, cheer up though. He's good now."

"Yeah..." Kirishima sighed as he signed a document to confirm his departure. "He probably won't recognise me..."

"Oi."

Kirishima turned round to see Bakugo behind him.

"If someone you knew doesn't recognise you, forget him."

Kirishima laughed. "You know, you sound just like him...I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't recognise me though, my hair looks totally different...Plus, he's not just someone I knew. Before our...accident I was hoping I could be his boyfriend."

"Well, welcome to the gay club." Bakugo smirked as he also signed out. "I came in with another guy after our accident and I kinda hoped I could be his boyfriend too...Of course, my hair's changed as well...I haven't been allowed to get angry so it's all...ugh...tamed..."

"Angry?"

The realisation hit them.

"Wait- Those shark teeth, sunshine smile..."

"Those red eyes...and that smirk..."

"BAKUGO!?" Kirishima yelled.

"KIRISHIMA!?" Bakugo's hair bombed up.

"MAN!!!!" They both cried, hugging each other. They let go when Bakugo moaned, as his elbow was being squished.

"Sorry, Bakugo!" Kirishima laughed.

A Traitor's Love - Part 18

"Where...the hell..." Bakugo opened his eyes slowly to find a doctor wrapping a bandage on his arm.

"Easy son...just calm down..." The doctor tapped a voice recorder out of Bakugo's sight.

"Okay...can you tell me everything you know?"

"Everything?" Bakugo tried to smirk. "My name is Katsuki Bakugo and I go to UA high to train to become a hero."

"Well you definitely seem okay." The doctor laughed. "But...in all seriousness, can you tell me everything that happened in the last day.

"I see..." Bakugo tried to re-trace his memory.

In Kirishima's perspective...

Kirishima's eyes slowly opened. He was surrounded by doctors.

"Thank goodness you're awake now..."

"Huh?" Kirishima looked around.

"Can you tell us everything you know?" A female doctor pressed a recorder behind her back.

"He just woke up-"

"Yeah...I can tell you..." Kirishima sighed.

"I woke up in the morning and did all the usual stuff, pretty normal day until the evening..."

"Usual stuff most of the day...until the evening..."

"I was studying with Kirishima."

"I was studying with Bakugo."

"Then..."

"Then..."

Bakugo paused. How could he phrase this so Kirishima wouldn't get into trouble?

Kirishima paused. Was he able to tell his secret yet?

"Toga turned up on our- well, Kirishima's balcony and captured us."

"Toga knocked us both out..."

"We woke up at their base tied together"

"We woke up at their base tied together."

"We talked for a bit."

"We discussed how we could escape."

"Kirishima had this crazy plan to pretend to be in love with Toga to help us escape."

"I had an...interesting plan to set us free."

"It somehow worked."

"We escaped out of a vent."

"We went through a vent."

"Actually a problem came when we saw the massive drop..."

"THERE WAS A FLIPPING 30 METRE DROP!"

"We decided to jump."

"We jumped."

"Our quirks had been taken earlier so we were unprotected."

"Kirishima was knocked unconscious on the blow"

"Bakugo was knocked out on the blow."

"Somehow I had my quirk back"

"Somehow my quirk returned "

"I fought Dabi after patching Kirishima up."

"I fought Dabi after patching Bakugo up."

"Then I woke up here after Toga disguised as Kirishima kept calling my name."

"I woke up here after Toga disguised as Bakugo kept calling my name."

Boty doctors in both rooms look confused and accidentally spoke in unison with each other.

"That's not what we got...it's almost impossible to survive such a great fall unprotected. I believe you both fell unconscious on impact and dreamt that you were saving the other and fighting...It was a fragment of reality because Pro Heroes ended up arriving after an overhead helicopter spotted Dabi's blue flames. They reported neither was patched up with anything. The Toga stunt was partially real, she was disguised as Kirishima when the pros arrived. Plus, getting your quirks back? I'm afraid you're both quirkless now...Your dreams were reality but shaken up a little..."

Both boys looked equally as confused.

"But...that was my plan..." They both said. "Lure Dabi's flames to the surrounding area and set it in fire to alert the helicopter."

"You see?" The doctors shrugged. "Now, rest. You and your friend need to rest for steady healing."

Obediently, the boys fell asleep.

[tammytheartist]

A Traitor's Love - Part 17

Bakugo found himself swept off his feet and carried away just before he was hit with the fire.

"Who -" Bakugo stopped when he saw Kirishima, hardened skin, carrying him.

"WAIT WHAT!? KIRISHIMA!?" Bakugo couldn't believe this. Kirishima placed him down out of viee from Dabi.

"But...what....where....how...." Bakugo touched Kirishima's rock hard skin. "I thought our quirks were erased-"

"So where did those explosions come from, huh?" Kirishima giggled.

"Huh?" Caught up in the adrenaline, Bakugo hadn't realised his quirk had returned.

"We need to go, come on!" Kirishima tugged on Bakugo's arm.

"Wait-" Bakugo reached for Kirishima's face.

"Where is your injury?"

"Injury?" Kirishima looked confused.

"And...how did you get down from the roof?"

Kirishima giggled. His giggle was high pitched-

Bakugo didn't hesitate. He drop kicked Kirishima.

"Ow! Bakugo why!"

"It's Toga right?"

Kirishima laughed. "You are a smart one, Katsuki."

"Hey! Only Kirishima can-"

"ONLY Kirishima?" Toga laughed. "I wonder...You have a crush on him don't you?"

Bakugo paused. "I don't have a crush on him..."

"Are you sure-"

"...he's my damm boyfriend!" Bakugo launched a large explosion into Kirishima's face. He screamed in pain and Bakugo found it agonising to watch but Toga still refused to show.

"BAKUGO!" Kirishima screamed. "Bakugo...Bakugo...Bakugo...Bakugo..." Tears were rolling down Kirishima's cheeks.

"BAKUGO!" A random voice yelled. Suddenly, Bakugo was in a completely different place, surrounded by people.

[tammytheartist]

A Traitor's Love - Part 16

Dabi was already waiting for Bakugo to land on him. Both fire welders outstretched their arms amd fired huge flames and explosions at each other. Bakugo screamed in pain as his exposed chest took the heat- litterely! Dabi was also thrown backwards, his jacket and shirt burning away. Bakugo could almost hear a female Mineta racing to look at the two shirtless boys.

Bakugo landed roughly, trying to shake off the pain.

"I've gotta admit it." Bakugo mockingly laughed. "You're hella ripped!"

Dabi found himself distracted by the flirt(?) which gave Bakugo enough time to launch another big attack before blasting himself closer towards the surrounding ring of woods.

"Any final words?" Bakugo smirked.

"I should be saying that to you!" Dabi yelled as he brushed off the ashes.

He launched a massive blue flame towards Bakugo. Narrowly dodging, Bakugo watched as the trees set ablaze. Looking up he saw smoke billowing into the sky as the helicopter changed course, flashing in morse code "Hero". Bakugo grinned as he knew that the helicopter had contacted heroes or was going to soon. The look on Dabi's face was priceless when he realised that he did a bad thing.

"Crazy hero..." Dabi murmured.

"I could say the same for you, jerk."

Dabi's face filled with unexpected rage as he charged towards Bakugo, hand glowing.

"Oh and when you go to hell, be sure to say hi from me to Endeavour when he joins you." Dabi smirked before launching a huge flame, one that Bakugo couldn't dodge.

[tammytheartist]

A Traitor's Love - Part 15

"There we go...that's it..." Dabi grinned as Bakugo stood up straight again and walked towards Dabi. "Now...how about we part ways and forget any of this ever happened, hm?"

Bakugo paused for a second before he laughed. He just laughed and laughed and laughed.

"You hurt my friend and tell me to leave him to die?" Bakugo stopped laughing.

"Hell, you really do sleep outside!" Bakugo screamed before laughing a large explosion out of his left hand.

"Dammit..." Bakugo thought. "That guy can play with both of his hands but my right hand is limited because of my injury...even if it's on my elbow...I can't blast him with my full fire power...Wait...How far do these woods stretch out?"

At that point, another blue flame came roaring towards Bakugo. This time, Bakugo grabbed Kirishima and blasted himself to the roof of the building, laying Kirishima there.

"Perfect...Now he's out of harms way..." Bakugo looked out at the view. Fields surrounded the area except a circle of trees that contained the hideout. A lone helicopter could be seen in the distance, heading towards the base. "YES! If I can set a tree on fire, I can lure all the villains out and alert that helicopter! Then it's just a matter of neutralising warp guy and there's no where to run!"

Bakugo looked at Kirishima.

"Please be safe." He kissed Kirishima's bloody face before leaping off the building.

"Dammit." Bakugo chuckled as he released an explosion to propell him towards Dabi. "I'm starting to think like Deku!"

[tammytheartist]

A Traitor's Love - Part 14

Screaming filled Bakugo and Kirishima's ears and the wind whipped back their hair as they fell from the vent.  The ground grew closer and closer until they both slammed into the grass below, Bakugo seconds later than Kirishima. Bakugo laid there for a few seconds before forcing himself to get up. He struggled as he tried to prop himself up with his right arm but he collapsed back down as he saw blood was oozing out of his elbow slowly. Ignoring his injury he tried to crawl over to Kirishima, who had landed a few metres away from him.

"Kirishima..."

No answer. 

"Kirishima?" Bakugo tried again.

Still silence. Bakugo gasped as he used his left arm to prop himself up, which was fortunately unharmed, and race to Kirishima. 

"KIRISHIMA!" 

Bakugo collapsed on his knees beside him and rolled his face out the grass. He sat there gaping when he saw Kirishima's great injury in his head, blood spilling out on his hands. Bakugo quickly rolled Kirishima onto his back and found that his left thigh was also bleeding. Without much more hesitation, Bakugo ripped off his signature skull shirt, tearing it in half with a loud roar. He tried to ignore the pain in his elbow as he took one half of his ragged shirt and messily bandaged up Kirishima's thigh before doing the same with his head. 

"AGH!" Bakugo clutched his own elbow in pain, realising he had been too focused on Kirishima to worry about himself and his injury. He realised he had no more shirt left so he ripped the lower half of his jeans on his left leg and slid it up his arm to cover his injury before returning his attention back to Kirishima. 

"Kirishima, please, I need you to wake up!" Bakugo sat Kirishima upright and gently shook him. 

"Please! Kirishima! Wake up!" There was no answer. Kirishima didn't speak, nor did he move. 

"YOU BETTER NOT BE FAKING BECAUSE IT ISN'T FUNNY, KIRISHIMA!" Tears streamed down Bakugo's face. 

"WAKE UP! DO YOU HEAR ME? IF YOU DIE I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

Kirishima didn't respond. Bakugo screamed at him to wake up, starting to lose his voice. After a few minutes Bakugo could only stare at the lifeless Kirishima in front of him. His head hung low and tears were collapsing to the ground like a waterfall. That was until Bakugo felt Kirishima's chest slowly starting to move again. His breathing was slow and hardly in existence but it was still there. Bakugo instantly saw hope and slung Kirishima on his back, trying to walk back to...well anywhere that wasn't here...

He tried to move as fast as he could without running because he didn't want to run out of energy...He could be walking for goodness knows how long...Plus he had a very heavy Kirishima to carry as well-

Bakugo's thoughts were cut short by a blue flame creeping towards him. 

"Dammit...not this guy..." He cursed under his breath as he moved out of the way.

"Well, well, well..." A figure in the distance spoke soothingly but sinister. "So much for Riot force-flirting with you in the room."

"Wait...Force-Flirting?" Bakugo was confused.

"Oh yeah, Crazy decided it would be a good idea to let you 'sort out your gay emotions' before Riot returned to us." Dabi sighed as he saw Kirishima on Bakugo's back. "But obviously he had other plans..."

"Yeah, crazy villain. He wouldn't turn on me-"

"So what's that on your head?" Dabi interrupted smoothly. "Your injury from when he knocked you out."

"Hey! Don't remind me of that! You forced him to do that!"

"We didn't force him exactly." Dabi corrected. "We asked him to but he went and did it all on his own accord. He could have dropped out but no he went ahead with it, even if he did go against it at the last minute."

"LIES." Bakugo yelled. "HE DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT-" 

"But he did. And now...now he's all alone. He betrayed the heroes. He betrayed the villains. He's alone...so why don't you just leave him here?"

"W-What?" Bakugo couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Come on, Bakugo. Put him down...leave him here...he's already dead isn't he?"

"Well..."

"Come on, put the boy down."

Bakugo stared at the villain before he gently lied Kirishima down on the floor.

[tammytheartist]

A Traitor's Love - Part 13

Dabi's hand glowed blue as he lit the fuel in the old fashioned stove in front of him. Behind him, Toga was stabbing open two tins of soup with her knife and pouring the contents into a metal pot.

"Hope you like chicken soup, we're out of tomato..." Toga sighed, disappointed because she loved seeing the red soup ooze out of its tin like blood.

"Chicken's fine..." Dabi murmured, backing away from the stove as Toga put the pot onto it. The pair waited for the soup to heat up.

"Hey...Toga?"

"Yes, Dabi?"

Dabi felt his face heat up as his blue flames threatened to creep out.

"How can you kiss someone so freely even if you don't like them?" Dabi clenched his fist to resist setting on fire.

"Dabi, everyone makes a huge deal about kissing with no feelings." Toga laughed. "People kiss all the time with no romantic intention. Actors do, some heroes even throw a kiss to catch their opponent of guard! Heck, I kissed you back then just to prove a point! It's not like I like you but it still happened!"

Dabi felt his heart shatter. Of course, Toga still likes Deku. As the soup started to bubble, Dabi poured half of it into a flask.

"I--I'm gonna check on Bakugo and Riot..." Dabi excused himself.

"Dabi..." Toga murmured. "The look in his eyes...does he have a crush?" Toga poured the rest if the soup into another flask. "He had the same look in his eyes as Ochaco's...Yeah he has a crush alright..." Toga felt her cheeks turn pink, not from love but from excitement.

Dabi's face was red as he approached the door to the training room. He knocked on the door.

"Hey! Riot! You okay in there?"

No response

"Riot?" Dabi flung the door open to see an empty room. He quickly looked around and found one of the vent's covers layed on the floor.

"HIMIKO TOGA!!!!" Dabi yelled.

Toga came rushing. "What is it?"

"Our prisoners have escaped! Shigaraki's gonna be so annoyed!" Dabi took a baseball bat outside of the room and set it on fire, handing it to Toga.

"Wait-"

"Hold that in the vent's entrance. The air will become moist and it'll be hard for them to breath. It won't stop them but it'll buy me a little more time..." Dabi raced out of the building altogether, leaving Toga bewildered.

"Since when was he so good at quick decision making?"

Toga did as she was instructed and soon enough, smoke was coming out of the other vent in the room. Toga realised that if she didn't act soon, the whole room would fill with smoke. Suddenly, she smiled.

"Sorry Dabi, but you're not the only one who can make quick decisions!"

Toga stepped down from her chair and ran to get some duct tape. She taped the baseball bat to to vent so it wouldn't go out and could still effectively produce smoke. She stepped down and ran to the other vent, taping that up too.

"Perfect."

Toga ran out of the room and reached her sleeping area. She threw open a chest filled with small labelled tubes of blood and took one out. Toga unscrewed the top and engulfed the entire tube, throwing it behind her as she ran outside, her face molding into its new identity.

[tammytheartist]

A Traitor's Love - Part 12

Kirishima completely forgot to replace the vent cover. He didn't remember because all he wanted was to be with Bakugo. There was a moment of silence before Bakugo elbowed Kirishima.

"Oi. Stop staring, we've gotta move or we'll get caught..."

Bakugo whispered, crawling down the vent. In the darkness, he didn't see the wall ahead of him and crashed into the hard brickwork. He moaned in pain: He felt like his nose was broken. Bakugo shuffled to face the other way.

"Are you okay?"

"It's a dead end-" Bakugo collided with Kirishima, who hadn't stopped in time, their faces smashing together. Bakugo didn't hold the kiss for long because he knew that if he got started, he wouldn't stop and they still had to escape.

"Okay, back up, we're going the other way..." Bakugo looked down Kirishima's end of the tunnel. "That means you're leading."

"W-What!?" Kirishima followed Bakugo's stare.

"Unless you're afraid." Bakugo mocked. "If I'm leading I'll have to climb over you and there's no chance in such a slim vent. I'll crush you."

Kirishima gulped. "I'm not s-scared!" The red head crawled down the humid vent as Bakugo followed close behind.

"Hey, speed up, will you?" Bakugo sighed. "Your butt it in my face!"

"Ah! Sorry!" Kirishima crawled a little faster.

"Say," Bakugo started to cough. "Are all the vents linked together?"

"How am I supposed to know!?" Kirishima exclaimed. "I'm going to assume so though..."

"What cough other rooms are there?"

"Well there's the training room we were just in and the kitchen. There's also alot of corridors too...that's where they sleep."

"They're that cough worse off that they sleep in cough cough  corridors?" Bakugo coughed, feeling the atmosphere getting to him.

"Well Dabi insists that he sleeps outside...He likes...the stars..." Kirishima explained. "Plus they spent most of their expenses on the training facility."

"Poor child..." Bakugo laughed. "I can cough imagine it though. I've always taken him for the 'straight-face-quiet-yet-intensly-ruthless-and-on-fire' type..." He coughed again, making them both stop.

"You okay bro?" Kirishima looked back.

"Kirishima, we've kissed and I've heard you say you like me. Do not call me bro." He covered his mouth and coughed again. "But yeah...I'm okay...it's just the atmosphere."

"This place isn't known for its hygiene."

"This cough place isn't known at all!"

"You know what I mean! It's so bad here we had to put the quirk drugs on hold to make vaccines so we could breath before we could even begin to build the training room."

Kirishima gasped before passing Bakugo a needle in a packet labelled "AVE28".

"This is an emergency vaccine. Trust me, it helps."

Bakugo inhaled sharply when he stabbed the needle into his arm and injected the clear fluid.

"We won't be here too long but just in case..." Kirishima sighed as he continued to crawl, Bakugo following. Bakugo felt worse after having the vaccine...he could smell smoke now...

The space around them grew a little lighter as Kirishima finally reached another vent cover.

"What do you see?" Bakugo whispered.

"Jackpot, outside!" Kirishima whispered back. He took another clip out of his hair and got to work on the cover.

"How many clips do you have!?"

"Um....28"

"28!? Slimy went to far this time!"

"Her name is Ashido." Kirishima corrected him as he pushed the vent cover off. A few seconds later, there was a crash of the cover smashing onto the ground.

"Wait, how big of a fall is there?" Bakugo asked.

"Um...looks 30 metres-"

"30 metres!?" Bakugo couldn't help shaking.

"We'll have to jump." Kirishima was just as scared as Bakugo was.

"Wait- Kirishima..." Bakugo held Kirishima's chin. "In case something happens...just know that I love you."

Kirishima blushed but smiled. "I know. I'll see you down there..."

Kirishima took a deep breath. "Man I wish I had my hardening back..." He whispered before leaping out of the vent, Bakugo doing the same seconds later.

A Traitor's Love - Part 11

As soon as his body disappeared into the vent, Bakugo heard the clunking if metal behind him. He froze before he realised that Kirishima was just replacing the vent cover and scolded himself for being afraid. Bakugo looked at the dark tunnel ahead of him but his body refused to move onwards. He looked back where he came from, doubting himself.

"I can't leave him." Bakugo thought, crawling backwards down the vent and gripping firmly onto the vent cover. "But wait- This isn't what he wanted..." Millions of thoughts swirled in his head like a hurricane before he made his decision. 

"I can't leave him here...not when he's quirkless...but he still wants me to leave so...I'll stay in here...that way if something bad happens I can help...but he'll never know...as long as I stay qu-"

"Does this mean he likes me?" 

Kirishima's voice floated from below, interrupting Bakugo's thoughts.

"W-What?" Bakugo thought. "I...like him?" The blond blushed.

"Is that why he got upset over my...moment with Toga?" 

Bakugo inhaled sharply at the mention of the previous scene but shuffled a little further backwards when he saw Kirishima look upwards at the vent. He prayed he wasn't spotted.

"I honestly wish I could go with him but I know I must stay here until I can escape on my own terms...whenever that is..."

Bakugo was violently shaking, trying to restrain himself from reaching down and yanking Kirishima up the vent with him.

"But he's safe now...that's all that matters." 

"This dumb brain really does care for me..." Bakugo smiled - well smirked.

"But...deep down...I really want my explosion boy back..."

Those few words rang through Bakugo's head like sirens. "My explosion boy...My explosion boy..." Bakugo's mind was spinning. "HIS EXPLOSION BOY!?" He shouted in his head "His..."

"I want to hold him, hug him, kiss him-"

The more Kirishima said the more Bakugo wanted to reveal himself because he too wanted to hold him, hug him and kiss him.

"Oh for goodness sake stop thinking so selfishly, Eijiro! He's safe, that's all you should want...right?"

"It's okay..." Bakugo whispered. "It's okay to think selfishly when you've just committed such a selfless act..." 

"I guess your newfound love needs to sort itself out..."

"Newfound...love..." Bakugo's heart was going crazy. He couldn't contain himself any longer. 

"WELL I'M DAM SORRY-" Bakugo's loud voice startled Kirishima, causing him to fall out of his chair. "-BUT IF YOU EXPECT TO DELIVER SUCH A LOVESICK MONOLOGUE WITHOUT MY HEART GOING NUTS, YOU ARE OFFICIALLY THE MOST STUPID MAN ALIVE!"

Kirishima hurriedly climbed back on the chair and unscrewed the vent cover.

"Bakugo!" He exclaimed as he looked at his friend's handsome face. "What are you doing!? You're meant to be escaping!" 

"I couldn't leave you..." Bakugo tensed up. "L-Look, you're pretty a-and, uh, manly and...um..." Suddenly he exploded. "FOR GOODNESS SAKE I LIKE YOU, KIRISHIMA! I COULDN'T BEAR MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE..." 

Kirishima was gobsmacked. He couldn't believe ge was hearing this. 

"H-Hold up...this can't be real...Quick, punch me! This has to be a dream..."

"Do you want a big bruise on your face to add to all the other scars you've gotten today?" Bakugo smirked and Kirishima laughed. 

"Not really, thanks..." Kirishima looked at Bakugo. "I appreciate this-"

"Come with me-"

"-We both know I can't-"

"-then I'm staying too." Bakugo looked him dead in the eyes. "This time...I'm not leaving without you..." 

"It's no use if I do it..." Deku mumbled. "Or Iida, Yayorozu or Todoroki...It's up to you Kirishima...Only you can reach out to Kacchan without hurting his pride."

Kirishima hesitated

Kirishima's red hair flowed in the wind as he, Iida and Deku soared through the sky.

"Please...Kirishima..."

Kirishima reached out his hand.

Bakugo reached out his hand. 

On the ground, Bakugo looked upwards in disbelief and astonishment as his classmates soared overhead.

"But-" 

Bakugo could see Shigaraki running towards him out of the corner of his eye.

"Kirishima..."

"COME ON!!!" Kirishima roared.

"TAKE MY HAND ALREADY!" Bakugo shouted.

Bakugo unleashed a massive explosion which propelled him through the sky...

Kirishima reached for Bakugo's outstretched hand...

Bakugo firmly grabbed Kirishima's hand.

Kirishima firmly grabbed Bakugo's hand 

"You idiots!" Bakugo shouted, smirking.

"You idiot!" Kirishima laughed as Bakugo pulled him up the vent.

A Traitor's Love - Part 10

"W-What did you say?" Bakugo looked down at Kirishima, perplexed.

"I said leave me here to die." Kirishima said calmly, though his own eyes were filling with tears. "L-Listen...They could be back any minute...I can stall for you...I can say I killed you...If we both escape...they'll know and come after us..."

Bakugo couldn't believe his ears. Leave him behind? No, he couldn't do that.

"Kirishima, no-"

"I want to save you, Bakugo." Kirishima stood on the chair so their faces were a little closer. "I still owe you after knocking you cold."

The scar that had formed on the back of Bakugo's head started to hurt even more.

"I can't leave you-"

"JUST LET ME STAY HERE!" Kirishima yelled, letting his tears fall to the ground "DON'T MAKE THIS HARDER THAN IT ALREADY IS!"

There was a moment of silence. Bakugo knew he had to let Kirishima go but his heart was pleading his brain to keep Kirishima. He felt like he had some unfinished business to take care of before he was finally separated from his only friend.

"Alright...I'm sorry, Kirishima, but-"

Bakugo leaned down from the vent and grabbed Kirishima's shirt, pulling him up the vent and kissing him. Kirishima's face turned really red but he kissed back in a moment of bliss and sadness. When they pulled apart, Bakugo lowered Kirishima back onto the chair gently. His deep crimson eyes met with Kirishima's cherry red eyes for a moment.

"That was...goodbye..." Bakugo tried to force a smile but it looked more like an anxious smirk. Slowly, he startes to crawl down the humid vent.

As soon as Bakugo had left Kirishima's eyesight, he started bolting the vent cover back in place. He tried to stop crying but it wasn't working. Kirishima was still confused about the kiss. "Does this mean he likes me?" Kirishima sat down in his chair. "Is that why he got upset over my...moment with Toga?" He looked upwards at the vent. "I honestly wish I could go with him but I know I must stay here until I can escape on my own terms...whenever that is...But he's safe now...that's all that matters."  Kirishima looked down again. "But...deep down...I really want my explosion boy back...I want to hold him, hug him, kiss him- Oh for goodness sake stop thinking so selfishly, Eijiro! He's safe, that's all you should want...right? I guess your newfound love needs to sort itself out..." He smiled but he definitely wouldn't be smiling if he knew that Bakugo had hardly moved down the vent and had heard every word.

A Traitor's Love - Part 9

"Quirkless?"

Bakugo stared at Kirishima in disbelief, hoping to see some sign of a joke but his face was serious.

"No...HOW!?' He yelled.

"Over time, the league has developed drugs that cancel out quirks." Kirishima explained. "They're still in development but they're currently stable enough to kill our quirk genes, rendering them useless..."

Bakugo's face was a mixture of shock and terror. He looked down at his once quirkless hand, trying to hold back his tears. His palms sweated and he desperately tried to ignite his nitroglycerine sweat but the truth finally hit him that his palms were now forever sweating water.

"All this time..."

Kirishima glanced at Bakugo, confused.

"All this time I've been qanting to become a hero...I've been trying...working...training..." Bakugo sped up, getting more upset as he spoke. "...sweating, suffering, breaking myself!" He suddenly yelled, tears forming in his eyes. "A-And...It was all for nothing..."

To Kirishima's surprise, Bakugo broke down. He stood helplessly as he watched his friend collapse to the floor, sobbing in a puddle of his own tears.

To Kirishima, Bakugo had always been a strong man who never gave into any challenge. He always gave his all and encouraged his classmates to try their hardest too, even if it wasn't in the nicest way. Once, Kirishima had imagined himself crying and then he could also imagine people he knew crying like his friends and family. The only one he couldn't imagine crying was Bakugo. He had always seemed to tough for that.

"Awww man today's training was killer hard!" Kirishima moaned as he and Bakugo walked to their dorms. "I'm ready to collapse on my bed as soon as I get in my room..." He smiled wearily. "How about you, bro?" Bakugo had been quiet most of the journey.

"Tch...If you feel like you're gonna collapse then you need to improve your stamina! Real life fights can last a long time and there isn't always a comfy bed at the end of it. Most cases, it's a hard chair in a finance office working out how much you got payed or the itchy bedsheets of a hospital. Man, even Watt Face was standing after today and he didn't have to be taken away for overusing his quirk!" Bakugo rolled his eyes and looked in the opposite direction, smirking. "If that brainless idiot can do it, so can you."

Kirishima watched as Bakugo made a speedy getaway into his dorm. He smiled.

"This is why I admire him so much..."

And yet, here he was, watching the man he admired become so...weak. Kirishima didn't say anything because he knew this was entirely his fault. Eventually, he realised they had to escape now or never.

"Bakugo-" He reached out but got cut off.

"Is this the price I must pay for causing All Might's end?" Bakugo turned to face Kirishima, his face dripping with sweat and tears. "Why did I have to drag you into this because of my bad karma..."

"W-What?" Kirishima took a step back, shocked and confused. "What do you mean you 'ended All Might'? You did nothing wro-"

"DON'T YOU GET IT!?" Bakugo yelled. "I WAS CAPTURED BECAUSE I WAS SO WEAK! IF THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN..." Bakugo choked on his own tears. "ALL MIGHT WOULDN'T HAVE TO FIGHT A-ALL...ALL FOR ONE! HE WOULD STILL BE THE SYMBOL OF PEACE!"

Kirishima knew that Bakugo waz right but didn't want to agree to his face. Instead, he dropped to his knees and gently lifted Bakugo's chin.

"Don't worry about it. That wasn't your fault." Kirishima hugged Bakugo. "You're not weak..."

Bakugo didn't try to shake Kirishima off. Instead, he hugged back. When they finally let go, Kirishima wiped away one of Bakugo's tears, making the blond boy blush a little. Kirishima pulled Bakugo up and looked at the escape route he had just created.

"Go on." Kirishima said with a sad smile.

Without another thought, Bakugo climbed up onto the chair and into the vent. He looked down at Kirishima. "We gotta go-"

"Leave me here, Bakugo." Kirishima looked up with a sad face. "Let me die here..."

A Traitor's Love - Part 8

"GET OFF!" Bakugo tried to break free and push Kirishima off but he couldn't.

"C-Calm down!" Kirishima got off but started undoing Bakugo's restraints.

"What are you going to do to me? Are we gonna fight?!" When he was free he grabbed Kirishima by the neck and slammed him against the wall. "BECAUSE YOU KNOW DAM WELL I'LL WIN."

"Bakugo listen please!" Kirishima looked dead into his eyes. "I don't love Toga-"

"-yet you KISSED her-"

"-I know what I did and I wish I didn't do it! It was the only way I could convince Toga and Dabi that I was on their side! My true intention was to be untied, left alone with you, untie you and escape!"

"LIER!" Bakugo shouted. "YOU REALLY ARE A VILLAIN!! YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN TO GIVE UP-"

"-I'm sorry Bakugo-"

"-HAH!?"

"I don't know why but I thought it was a good idea when I was doing it!"

The fire in both pairs of eyes burned for a few seconds of silence.

"I'm sorry that I upset you...trust me that wasn't my intention." Kirishima looked into Bakugo's eyes.

"Alright..." Bakugo sighed and walked away from Kirishima. "You have a plan?"

"Mhm." Kirishima climbed up onto one of the chairs and took a sparkly pink hair clip out of his hair.

"Wait, are you wearing hair clips?" Bakugo snorted.

Kirishima sighed. "I lost a bet with Mina, I had to wear a ton of these during our study meeting - though she called it a date." He blushed a little as he unscrewed the screws to a vent cover above his head.

"Date huh..." Bakugo smirked. "What was the bet? I didn't think the 'manly' Kirishima would lose to HER."

Kirishima shrugged. "It sounds stupid now but I had a very strong lead that Kaminari and Jiro were dating..." He unscrewed the last screw. "Of course, Kaminari's gay..."

Kirishima pulled the vent cover off, losing his balance and falling into Bakugo's arms. Immediately, he jumped off, both of them blushing.

"If you were going to make that much noise why didn't you just punch your way through with your hardening?" Bakugo scowled.

"I can't." Kirishima looked at Bakugo. "Neither of us can activate our quirks."

Bakugo stared at Kirishima.

"We're quirkless now, Bakugo."
