Ruby Riot: Kirishima x Reader

~Chapter 11~

Kirishima: Great ! Let me know when you're free so we can meet up to write some lyrics.

Jirou: Well I'm free tonight, I can stop over to you and Denki's room later on tonight?

Kirishima: That should be geat ! Thank you so much Jirou !

Later that evening Jirou arrives at Denki and Kirishima's dorm.

Kirishima: Hey Jirou, thank you so much for coming.

Denki: Hey babe ! ....Wait ? Kirishima invited you ?

Denki shoots Kirishima a look of confusion.

Kirishima: Denki, I invited Jirou over to help me write a love song for Y/n to surprise her at Spring Fling.

Denki: Ooooh okay, I see you bro. Sorry, I was about to shock you with 100 volts for a sec. I thought something sus was going on between you and Jirou.

Jirou: Denki don't be ridiculous, why would you even think that ?

Kirishima: You know how I feel about Y/n, why would I go after Jirou ?

Jirou: This is nonsense, can we get to writing the song ?

Kirishima: Of course.

Jirou: Okay, so tell me a little bit about your feelings for Y/n, that's a great place to start.

Kirishima: I love her so much, but it's hard to describe it in words. She's amazing, and she really gets me.

Jirou: Hmm, that's a good start, but I'm going to need more than that.

Kirishima let's down his guard.

Kirishima: Well....she's my Ruby Riot. I never thought I could find a love like this. -This may sound silly, but it was almost love at first sight for me. I've never had a person go out their way to understand me, even someone like Mina who I've known since middle school hasn't gotten to know me on a deeper level. Y/n gives me such joy, she just radiates it. I also have a strong sense to protect her. We're all training to be pro hero's one day, and I would lay down my life to protect anyone, no questions asked. However, when it comes to Y/n it's just different.

Jirou: How so ?

Kirishima: When she's in my arms I feel safe. Her arms are my home, and I need that. On the other hand, when she's in my arms I can keep her safe. When she passed out in class a couple months ago, I barely knew her, yet I was deathly terrified for her life. That was a weak spot for me, the only time I couldn't protect her, I felt helpless. Sometimes I carry the guilt with me til this day.

Jirou: Kirishima....why would you feel guilty about that ? She's fine.

Kirishima: You don't understand. That day she overslept and didn't consume anything before class, I didn't have any food and drinks on me, I usually don't bring snacks or water to class. She would've been fine if I were to have carried something on me. Although I now understand this was a weakness of her quirk, I can't erase the image of her passing out like that. It made me feel helpless, less than what a man should be. What if she never woke up ?!
