Chapter Text
How did this happen? My best friend. I fell for my best friend. The world is not going to end, I know that. Okay, maybe I don’t because if I lose my best friend the world is most likely ending for me.
I stare at the boy sitting in front of me, we’ve been friends pretty much since the UA Sports Festival. Though I'd never admit that aloud.
Right now is our tutoring session, which usually lasts between 2-3 hours after school. As he stares at his math homework I watch him scribble on the side of the paper. He does this anytime he doesn’t get something.
“Hey, Bakubro. Can you help me with this? I don’t remember how to do it.”
“I don’t get how you made it through Middle School Shitty Hair,” I say getting up. I lean over to look at the problem and try to explain it in the easiest way possible. It's a simple problem really. However, Kirishima hasn't always been the brightest person to exist.
He nods and I sit back across from him. I stare at him as his sharp tooth overlaps his bottom lip, and his hand runs through his red spiky hair. His other hand holds a well-chewed pencil. Teeth marks were deep in the grooves of the number two pencil. It was almost painful to look at. "Yeah, I think I understand this," says Kirishima.
I smirk. "Of course, you do, now. I'm the one that helped you."
This person in front of me has to be an angel. He’s too kind, sweet, and happy, and his smile makes my heart practically leap from my chest. I'd never tell him that he made me smile. That the thought of him alone makes me happy. Even if I don't show it.
He must be some cruel joke from the universe, probably getting back at me for bullying Deku. I still had yet to deal with that. It sucked.
No matter how many times I push this beautiful miracle away from me, he just comes back. Somehow he calms me in a way that no one else can. He’s my safe haven.
If I ever lost him, I don’t think my heart could take it. I’d probably stumble around for days, wondering what happened, I’d probably forget my name, and before long have to get put in a mental hospital.
But Kiri will be okay. If he died it’d be because of some dumbass villain who has a death wish of their own. His friends and I would not let that villain take another step in life. That villain would have no future. The last thing he would ever see is my hand blasting his face off.
