Bakugo and I have been dating for the past 9 months, I always knew he had so many bottled-up emotions, but I didn't know how much or how bad they were until tonight, when we got into a huge argument. It was only now I figured out my blonde's truth.
Flashback to 5 hours ago, Me and I were in my room and it was going good, we were just cuddling and watching some movies, and that's when it started. We were watching a random movie, and there was a scene of w boy, who was maybe about 14 or so, getting into a pretty heated argument with his mom, after a few moments into the scene Bakugo just turned off the TV, then started to raise his voice some "I'm done watching that stupid movie." He said in a louder, irritated tone, but I was just confused about what happened, cause just a second ago he was all smiles and super sweet and just suddenly he was pissed off.

Kirishima looked confusedly at his boyfriend, sitting up "Are you okay? What happened?" He asked in a worried, and concerned tone, which only angered Katsuki further "Nothing, just the movie is stupid." He growled, preferring to act like it was nothing, but it was only he who knew that the scene had caused lots of flashbacks to the screaming matches he and his Mother would have for hours on end, thinking about how loud it was, the things she said, everything.
"Hey, I know it isn't nothing, your entire mood just took a 180, tell me, what's going on? I wanna help you." Kirishima replied with a sweet, concerned voice, worry filling his eyes. Bakugo's ruby eyes met his, an angry scowl on his face "I just don't wanna watch the damn movie! Is that so damn bad?!" He yelled angrily, his eyes narrowed in irritation, behind that angry persona he just wanted to be comforted and talk about it, but he didn't wanna be seen as weak or cry in front of Kirishima, even if they were dating, he wasn't ready to be fully vulnerable with him.
"why won't you just talk to me Kats, we don't need to yell or fight, I just wanna know why you're so upset," Kirishima answered in a calm, rational tone as he spoke gently, setting his hand on Katsuki's shoulder. Katsuki looked back at him "Don't. Fucking. Touch. Me." He growled, his nose scrunching and his ash blonde eyebrows narrowing into his nose, his ruby red eyes a bit glossy but narrowed in anger.
"Baby, come here, let's calm down and we don't have to talk about it until you're ready, alright?" He said calmly, noticing Katsuki's angered expression, putting his hands up in an 'im not here to fight or anything' kinda manner, sitting crisscross. Katsuki lowered his guard a bit, his expression softening some, but still not fully. He slowly climbed into Kirishima's warmth, laying face down in his lap and the rest of his body curled up in fettle position. Kirishima's gentle fingers combed through his ash-blonde hair "What's going through your head handsome?" He asked in a quiet, comforting tone.
Katsuki scoffed "It's stupid.." he muttered quietly, a hint of irritation in his tone still as he lay in the redhead's lap, slowly calming down from his fit of rage. "I just.. that scene just brought back some memories and it pissed me off.." he muttered, staring into the darkness of the room as he admitted vaguely about a traumatic event.
katsuki's POV
All these emotions are so overwhelming, it feels like there's a bottle inside of me and it's on the verge of shattering into a million pieces, my chest tight, my mind fogging and focusing on past traumas. It's not a typical feeling, but it happens every so often, it's always overwhelming. I don't know why but everything Kirishima's doing right now is just making me upset and all I know how to do is yell and complain. I'm not very good at this part of relationships.
I hear him say "I'm here for you, you can always talk to me about everything" I know he's trying to help but it feels so fake, so dishonest. It makes me angry. "Just shut up," I growl without a second thought, I immediately regret it. I don't want to be violent, I don't want to bite. I see his face saddened and I feel his mood shift to an even sadder one, it hurts knowing I'm the reason he feels like this.
After a while of just taking deep breaths, maybe 25 minutes or so, I speak up, quietly. "I'm sorry I treated you so shitty earlier." I apologize sincerely, nuzzling into the crook of his neck, taking in his scent for a moment before speaking again. "I just. I don't know how to manage my emotions, I know that doesn't make it right but, it's better than nothing I figured." I had a slight pause, my voice a bit shaky, and vulnerable, it's weird.
After a few minutes, I heard him take a deep breath before he started to speak, I heard his voice say "It's alright, I understand, it's new, we can talk about it whenever you're ready, alright?" He sounded hurt, yet he was still so positive and kind, I don't feel I deserve someone as sweet as him but I love him so much. I give him a nod, I can feel my cheeks burning up some as his arms hold me close to his body comfortingly. His embrace felt so warm and nice, I felt like I was melting into him.
Kirishima's POV
I felt Bakugo melting into me, it made me smile as my arms held around his waist, gently caressing his clothed waist with my thumb, doing my best to make him feel better after what happened earlier. I'm still confused about what triggered that response but I figure it has something to do with his mom, he's vaguely told me about the almost daily screaming matches between them and just how toxic the environment was there.
I move one of my hands to lift Bakugo's face by his chin, I see his glossy red eyes, full of sadness, pain, reflection, and overwhelming emotions breaking through the glass bottle. I cup his cheek and kiss his forehead "It's okay to cry if you need to, it's good to let it all out now and then." I said in my most comforting and gentle voice possible, rubbing his back with my thumb. I see his eyes widen as a tear rolls down his cheek, seeming shocked by my words.
I pulled him back into a tight hug, I felt him nuzzle down into my shoulder as his eyes started to water fast, starting to drench the shoulder of my shirt, of course, it didn't bother me.
3rd POV
As Kirishima held Katsuki in a tight embrace, Akatsuki clutched onto his t-shirt like it was his lifeline as he sobbed, letting out years of built-up emotions. Katsuki bit his lip as he sobbed, doing his best to stifle his sobs and cries, occasionally sniffling back snot from getting on the red-headed male. His knuckles turned white from how hard he held onto Kirishima's t-shirt, his red eyes pouring out rivers.
Kirishima held him, rubbing his back "Shh.. it's okay Katsu, let it all out.." he said gently, kissing the male head, one of his hands running through the other's ash blonde hair, brushing it, the soft, spiky ash blonde hairs rustling through his fingers. "Everything's gonna work out, I'll be here with you every step of the way.." he said with a hushed, comforting tone.
"g-god.. i-i can't get h-her voice or w-words out m-my damn head.." Katsuki choked through his sobs, his body shaking violently as he sobbed, choking on his tears and breath every few minutes or so, Kirishima just sat there, holding him comfortingly and doing his best to comfort him as he let out his feelings. "I-i'm weak.. a-and pathetic just like s-she said.." he choked out once more, somehow gripping onto him tighter.
"you aren't weak or pathetic, if anything you're stronger and braver than anyone else I know." He said reassuringly, kissing his shoulder while continuing to comfort Katsuki. Katsuki sniffled as his tears ran dry, looking up at Kirishima, his face tear-stained and weak-looking, his eyes red and puffy as he wiped his face with his shirt "A-are you just s-saying that to make me feel better..?" He said weakly, sniffling more. "Of course I mean it Kit Kat, I wouldn't ever lie about something like that." He reassured him, kissing his cheek.
"Everything's gonna be alright, I'm here for you now, I love you so much Katsuki." Eijiro said with a gentle smile, Katsuki just blushing in return to his comment "I-I love you too shitty hair.." he said with a pout, looking away in his flustered facade, a shiver running down his spine as he felt Eijiro's warm lips press a kiss into his cheek "your so damn cheesy.." he grumbled, Kirishima just chuckled at that "you seem to enjoy it though~" he teased Katsuki playfully, earning a more flustered face in return.
After about 45 minutes went by, Katsuki finally said the words. "I. I think I'm ready to talk about it..?" His voice was laced with debating and uncertainty. But he desperately wants to tell Eijirou so they can avoid this happening in the future.
"say whatever you feel comfortable with, I'll be here listening," Eijirou said with a toothy grin, his sharp teeth shining brightly. "I.. well, when I first got my quirk I was set to high expectations, everyone saying that I just had to be the future's greatest hero, and around maybe 12 or 13 me and the old hag started fighting, it started and progressively got worse. Bot long it was almost every day, sometimes multiple times a day getting into screaming matches, my old man didn't know how to help us so we just kept butting heads together and our relationship is pretty strained now." He explained, a shiver going down his spine at the memories from the last few years.
" i.. wow.. I'm sorry I put on the movie. I didn't know." He apologized, feeling guilty about causing a trigger like that to snap. "I- it's fine shitty hair.. like you said you didn't know." He grumbled as he cuddled into Kirishima further, his arms wrapping around Kirishima's waist, holding him close as his head rested on the redhead's chest. "I'm proud of you for speaking up Kit Kat, I know you don't deal with that whole thing very well," Eijirou said in a proud, happy, yet calm voice. Katsuki's eyes widened, shocked by his words, unused to hearing such genuine words for something so little. "I.. fuck I love you Eiji." He said with a heavy blush and warm smile before pulling Eijirou into a sweet, loving kiss with his arms wrapped around his neck.
