(Y/n) pov

'Ok sleep or one piece?' I debate in my head while laying in bed with my laptop closed next to me.
'If I pick one piece then I won't be be thinking as much but if I pick sleep then I'll fall asleep in about an hour instead of six' I sigh deciding to take some melatonin and try to fall asleep
'I don't know what time Bakugo is coming over and I'd need to shower and clean up some more. So I probably should wake up before noon' I sigh, then turn on my phone and start scrolling through Instagram memes, then I get an unexpected call.

"Hello?" I say after answering

"(Y/n)" hearing him say my name almost immediately brings me to tears
"I'm sorry, I just, I needed to hear your voice." Keigo tells me

"Why?" I ask not knowing what else to say

"I just miss you and it's really hard not being with you." He replies making my chest ache

"I know the feeling" my voice stays stable enough, so there's no way for him to be able to tell I'm crying.

"I'm sorry... I want you back." He says,

"I'm guessing your search for Jamie isn't going so well." I reply,

"I haven't been able to even start looking for them. It just hurts not being with you." His voice seems weak,

"What happens when you find them?" I ask

"I'll send them to their family." He says

"Hawks they're your soulmate!" I reply

"How could they be my soulmate when you're so perfect for me?!" He sounds almost angry

"Hawks..." I couldn't figure out how to reply

"I still hate when you call me that!" He tells me but I don't respond
"I... feel like I can't live without you." His voice breaks and I almost cave in.

"This is just an extra bad night, if you still want us to get back together after y-" I start but I hear him start to laug.

"An extra bad night!? (Y/n) this has been all my nights! I've spent days trying to convince myself not to call you!" He shouts

"But you didn't, if you regretted us breaking up that much you could have called me the next day and we could have gotten back together, or even the day after that, but you didn't. You still wanted to find Jamie." I tell him my voice getting weaker

"Then why haven't I started looking for her?" He asks

"I don't have an answer for that." I say

"Can I at least have another night with you?... I just need to be able to hold you again." He says

"I... I was just making some progress dealing with our break up." I complain

"Please (y/n)" he begs

"Hawks I can't." I sob

"I'm sorry, I just... I love you" he says

"You'll find Jamie eventually and be happy with them." I tell him

"I guess I'll let you go... my words are going to stop sounding like words pretty soon" I can hear his voice break

"Good night Keigo... I love you." I say before ending the call.

'Stupid soulmates.' I sob soaking the neck of my shirt.
'I wish I could have had the opportunity to know who my soulmate was when I was desperate for love and friendship in high school, way before I met Keigo.' I cry

"Damn it!" My voice breaks

'I can't even be with Mina, I was in love with Mina! I am in love with Mina... but she's with her soulmate. And this stupid crush I have on Bakugo isn't going away!' I cry more until I fall asleep...

TNT: on my way

I read the text after waking up then hesitantly open a text from Keigo

Handsome Birdy: call me if you change your mind

I reread the text a few more times before changing his contact name to Hawks and thinking about how to reply

Y: change my mind and decide to let you break my heart later once you find Jamie?

Y: I don't think I could ever do this again

I sent the message then hear a knock at my door

"What the hell happened to you?" Bakugo asks after I answer the door

"Do I look that bad?" I ask

"No, you just look like you just woke up after a long night of crying." He tells me

"Oh..." I reply

"Wanna tell me what happened?" He asks and I take a moment to decide

"Hawks called me last night" I tell him,

"What the hell did he want?" He looks irritated,

"Well, he, uh, wanted to get back together." I answer,

"You better have told him to fuck off." He says,

"I didn't use those exact words." I almost laugh,

"You aren't back together?" He asks sounding surprised,

"No, I just told him he needs to find his soulmate. I don't want him to regret anything. That was actually why we broke up, I'm sure that's what you assumed...
it, It's just so hard to say no." A few tears escape.

"you're strong and you can get through this!" Bakugo almost hugs me but instead just rubs my back

"Maybe I should just go see who my soulmate is now." I say,

"That's a stupid idea! You should wait until you're over the dumb bird before throwing yourself into a relationship!" He shouts,

"But what if they could help me not feel like shit?" I ask

"I'm I not doing a good enough job?!" He replies

"You're doing great, it's just you're going to meet your soulmate and spend all your time with them. I'm trying my hardest not to get too attached to you." I explain
"Or Red" I quickly add when I notice what I said could be taken different then what I meant

"I guess that makes sense, you're wrong! But I can see why you think that way." He tells me

"What do you mean I'm wrong?" I ask confused

"I've already met my soulmate." He replies

"You did? Then why do you spend most of your time with me or Red?" I say

"They're going through some stuff, so they aren't ready to be with me until they figure it all out. I'm helping as much as they'll let me, but I can wait until they're ready." He tells me

"That's really sweet." I respond

"Yeah, whatever." He says

"So when they're done going through whatever they're going through, you'll definitely ditch me and Red for them." I laugh,

"No, because they're Awesome enough to want to hang out with all of us." He explains,

"Yay a new friend" I smile even though I don't trust those kinds of promises.
