(Kirishima's POV)

"Red Riot, can you hear us?!"

Suddenly, as I'm about to retreat from a tiring rescue mission, the transmitter in my ear rings out again in my ear.

I press the button on it,so that they can hear my voice.
"I can hear you. What's going on?"
"The explosion of the pipes has caused problems even in a small building nearby. A few people are trapped inside because of the crashes and only your hardening quirk can go through them without problems. Do you think you can handle it?"

I sigh. The previous rescue has really tired me, but I can't abandon people in need, especially when I know I'm perfectly able to save them. It's against my morals and absolutely cruel... I can hold out a little longer.

"All right. Send me the position of the facility, give me 5 minutes and I'll be there."
"Perfect, thanks a lot."

As soon as the position arrives on my phone, I realize that it's really near and that I can reach it on foot.

Then, another notification.

It's Bakugo.

B: Hey shitty hair. Are you busy right now?

I look at the text, shocked, and I reread it a couple more times to be sure that I read it correctly. I'm dumbfounded! Firstly because usually the one that reaches out to him to chat is me (we decided this way), but most importantly because for a while our friendship has been dangling from a thread.

We don't get along like we did before, the fights aren't like the usual ones, which ended up with an explosion, shaking hands and that's it. They're more violent. As if we're hiding something from one another.

The last time we saw each other we fought like crazy, we called each other names, we threw on each other so much hatred and anger... I walked away without saying goodbye, I wasn't even able to look at him in his face.

Since then we didn't speak for more than 2 weeks.

I'm sorry that I distanced him... I miss him and I feel bad about everything I said to him...

Yeah, but after everything that he said? After all the times he called me vile and useless, hurting right where it hurts the most?

...well...

I wasn't any less. I was cruel and unfair, calling him an ungrateful bastard and arrogant little girl... In know that I hurt him deeply too.

I'll take advantage of this occasion to at least clear things up and, if I can, to say sorry! I think to myself, while I answer to his text. Maybe everything won't be like it was before, but at the very least, we will put aside doubts and uncertainties and we'll rebuild our friendship, even stronger than before.

K: Right now yeah, I have to do an important rescue mission, but I'll surely be available after 7 pm. Why?

B: oh 'aight.Then at 7 o'clock, let's meet in front of the mall. And don't be late or I'll leave.

K: Okay, I won't be late, promise! Later Bakugo.

K: Later, shitty hair.

Perfect! And now it's time to save people, there's no time for personal dilemmas!

I quickly run towards the set point.

There, I see a building, partially destroyed on the bottom right side, with various cracks in other zones and the person that contacted me approaches me: it's a police officer, who's there with his team to help evacuate the people from the building,I suppose.
