    Summary

    He clicked the pen his therapist had given him, opening the first page. In big letters, he wrote, “Reasons To Live: 1-100.”

    Then, he flipped to the middle of the journal. He paused, felt-tip inches from the page. This was gonna be another mistake to add to his long-running list, wasn’t it?

    Caving, he put the pen to the page.

    “Reasons to Die: 1-100.”

    The idea was simple; old as time.

    First to one hundred wins.

    ***

    After being kicked from the friend group his second year, radio silence from Bakugou over the summer, and a suicide attempt, Kirishima starts to spiral when he returns to UA.

    Bakugou walks back into his life wanting to know why his hair is black all of the sudden.

    Summary

    By the end of first year, exhaustion stopped feeling temporary and started feeling like background noise, and while teachers talked about growth and potential and future rankings, all he cared about was getting through the next day without anyone else ending up in a hospital bed or worse.

    Desire, attraction, curiosity, all of it stayed locked away, because survival and responsibility left no space for anything else, and if he never let himself think about who he might want or who might want him back, then he never had to deal with how fragile that kind of hope could be in a world where people disappeared overnight.

    So he focused on training and classwork and combat drills and strategy sessions and patrol simulations, because if he stayed busy enough and strong enough and angry enough, then maybe he could outrun everything else that tried to live under his skin.

    And for most of that year, it worked.

    But then, Kirishima happened.

    — or the one where bakugo is good at everything except loving himself.

    Summary

    There’s a man standing in the doorway. He’s tall and beautiful, with sweet eyes and red hair that falls soft against his shoulders. His t-shirt is tight on his shoulders but his sweatpants run long, dragging on the floor as he stumbles to the side of the bed.
    “Oh my god,” he says again, eyes glassy. “I missed you, Katsuki, you have no idea how much.”
    “I don’t know you,” Katsuki says, as calm as he can manage.

    Summary

    ... It wasn't that he was annoyed.

    Okay, maybe he was a bit annoyed, but that was just the lack of sleep talking. Because a certain explosive punk thought it was a good idea to test the flammability of his sheets at two in the morning. Every single morning.

    In which Bakugou's quirk wakes Kirishima up, and Kirishima gets way too invested in his bro's well-being.
