I relaized I promised Denki but I finally finished watching season 4 and CRIED over Kirishima (also Shoto and Bakugou making kids a slide?!?! Ughh mah heart!) So here we are.
"I am here! Sorry I am late!" Fatgum cheered catching the fleeing villian in his stomach. You calmed your heart as the man squirmed in his belly, wriggling around as Fatgum absorbed his torso.
Your hands shook as you dropped to the floor, the near death experience shaking your body. "What's your name?"
"Red Riot!" Your ears perked up at the familiar voice. You rasied your head as the others thanked him him bowing firmly in respect. "Thank you!" He replied to their praise.
"Let's go, we don't want to keep Suneater waiting!" Fatgum gave the boy a thumbs up as they began to walk away. "Wait!" You spoke standing up and rushing to the red hero, grabbing the strap of fabric that ran across his back.
He turned and looked at you, freezing in his place. "Eijiro Kirishima." You whispered almost in disbelief., the corners of your lips turned up for a moment. You lightly nodded your head, looking in his red eyes.
"There is no mistake. It is you." He pulled you into a strong hug as his eyes were still open in disbelief. "(Y-Y/n)..." he whispered as he held you. "It's been a long time huh Kirishima." You patted his back as he pulled away.
"Red Riot. Do you know this girl?" Fatgum asked pointing toward you with a smile on his face. "Yeah, uhm...she helped me through some personal stuff before I came to UA."
"Well in that case, anyone who is a friend of young Riot here is a friend to me!" He stuck out his hand to you. You shook it, shaking it as best you could with its size. "(Y/n) (L/n). Pleasure Mr. Fatgum!"
"(Y/n)...I thought you left Japan?" The red haired boy questioned. You waved your hand dismissively. "Psshhhh, only for a couple months. I couldn't take the place that they sent me to. Plus I missed Japan too much."
You gave him a closed eyed smile. "I guess technically I did leave for a bit but I am back now!" You threw your hands up in the air. "Even though it has only been a year, you have changed." He said pleased as he watched you.
"Oh really? I am not the one who dyed my hair before going into highschool and then getting SHREDDED! Not to mention, you are a hero now!" Your eyes gleamed as you looked at him, your demeanor completely changing from your cowering meer moments ago.
He rubbed the back of his neck, slightly becoming emberassed. "This is just hero training for now. I just haveba license, I'm not a pro or anything."
"You just saved me though and all those other people! I told you that you would make a good hero!" Fatgum watched his 'apprentice' become flustered at your display.
"Ah! Did you want my number so we can talk? I know I am probably keeping you...sorry." you bowed respectfully. "Here." You said grabbing Kirishima's hand and taking out a pen.
"And there!" You said clicking it and throwing it back in your bag. "Let me know if you want to talk and thank you so much for saving us!" You turned on your heel and waved walking in the opposite direction.
Fatgum nudged Kirishima who was standing in place, his hand still as he read your number over and over. "You like her." He said with a grin.
Kirishima sighed. "I always have, but I just felt like she would never go for someone like me." He began to walk, his mentor following behind. He slapped his back making him jolt forward.
"Ahaha! You never know till you try. Plus you two seemed close."
"Yeah, she helped me through a really rough time in my life. Convincing me to go to UA when I was doubting my abilities. So in a way she is kind of my hero." He shrugged as people began to cheer as they ventured more into the public eye to find Suneater.
Kirishima was lost deep in thought the whole walk back. You were back in Japan, he wasn't going to waste his time again. "Ah, Suneater..." he bent over and picked up the red dart-like bullet that bounced off his head. "This thing, one of these was what shot you."
Tamaki nodded, Fatgum taking it from Kirishima and analyzing it. "Something deepier is going on here. We will figure out what it is later, tonight lets retire. You both need your strength back." The boys nodded and began to head back with Fatgum behind them.
You sat on your bed, your phone buzzing beside you."Oh?" You leaned over and grabbed it, seeing a message from an unknown number. "Kirishima..." you whispered to yourself with a smile.
Kirishima: (Y/n)?
(Y/n): The one and only!
Kirishima: Ah, I am happy to see that you didn't give me a fake number.
(Y/n): Wow, I'm not that harsh. Plus I actually missed you...we should get lunch sometime together!
Kirishima: Yeah! I would like that, I'll let you know when I am free.
(Y/n): Sweet! Wow, it's really late. You should get to bed so you can be a big, strong, well rested hero!
With that and mutually exchanged 'good nights', you both went to sleep aith smiles on your faces; However, a few days passed and you had heard nothing from him. You grew worried, you knew he only went silent when something bad happened.
You walked to the UA campus, noticing the increased security since your last visit. "Looks like a prision...but meant to keep people out instead of in." You checked your phone, groaning at the blank wall of non-existant notifcations.
"Excuse me, can I help you?" You turned to see a scrawny man who's odd hair looked very familiar. "Oh, uhm, my friend Eijiro Kirishima goes here and I have this bed feeling something is wrong...but I guess I can't get in."
"Oh I see. How do you know him?"
"Him and I were close friends before he came here. Shortly after he got accepted I left Japan." The mans dark eyes held a speck of blue in them as they pierced through you, seeming to search your answer for a lie.
Your heart stopped.
"N-no way...you're All Might!" You smiled pointing a finger at him. What the shit happened while I was gone? He gave you a small smile while he stepped toward you. "Yes." He replied simply. "Are uhm...are you okay? You look different?" His eyes trailed off, telling you to drop it.
With a nod of understanding you checked your phone once again, sighing as it was still blank. Your heart sank as you spoke.
"Well I should get going. It was nice to meet you All Might!"
"Miss, if you would like I could escort you to see him. I understand it is a confusing situation to come back to..."
You looked up at him. "Isn't that a safrty hazard? I mean what if I am a villian...Oh! Or a spy! Wait- sorry, that makes me sound bad." You rubbed your arm nervously.
All Might laughed looking back at you. "I don't think a villian would show up at the front of the school and pretend to be a concerned friend." You tapped your chin. "Well maybe-"
Shut up!
"Nevermind." You said silencing yourself, hanging your head down. "Sorry."
He smiled taking you through the doors. "Don't worry, if you try anything you will be pummeled. I promise." His words rolled pff his tounge as a joke, but the seriousness in his eyes made you shiver.
You scanned around, noticing there were now dorm areas. "Dorms? Seriously what happened after I left?!"
"Kirishima and his class were attacked by a group of villians. One of the students was taken, but Kirishima and a few others managed to get him back safely...despite our orders." You chuckled. "Sounds about right for Kirishima..."
Your mind trailed, All Might taking notice as he watched you. "I shouldn't have left." You said solemnly. "We all make choices that we regret, what matters is what you do to correct it."
There was a pause.
"So why didn't you become a hero?" He asked as your shoes clacked against the ground.
"I considered it but- my father passed away a few months before highschool was about to begin. I decided to help Kirishima achieve his goal of being one since it helped me distract myself...NOT THAT I WAS JUST USING HIM AS A DISTRACTION, I just felt that if I could help him, maybe someone I cared about could achieve their dream."
"I see. Well it seems we are here." You both looked up at the towering building. "1-A huh? He really did it." You out a hand on your hip and followed All Might as he led you into the dorms.
You spotted him immediatley sitting on the couch running his hands through his hair as his classmates chattered around him.
"ALL MIGHT!" A green haired boy shouted. "-who is this?" He asked pointing to you. All eyes fell on you including Kirishima's. "(Y/n)?!" He stood up out of his seat, people now severely confused.
"Why are you here?" He asked approaching you and holding your shoulders. You crossed your arms. "It has been two days. You never go silent unless something is wrong. So what happened?"
"Damn, whoever she is, she can read you like an open book!" A yellow haired boy laughed. You searched his face and as he was about to speak you put a finger to his lips.
"Let me guess...." you took a moment before continuing. "After that hero mission I saw you on, something happened that led you on another hero escapade, secret mission-thing, and you couldn't tell me anything about it so instead of contacting me you shut down because you didn't want to bug me again?"
Everyone went silent as you finished your guess. Kirishima nodded and looked up at you through his falling hair. You frowned. "If I didn't care I wouldn't be here."
"I swear you have said that to me before." He chuckled. You looked up at the ceiling. "Once or twice..." you smirked at him lightly punching his shoulder.
"Mr. All Might sir, is it okay if I walk with her for a bit?" All Might nodded making him smile. Kirishima grabbed your hand and pulled you outside with him, door closing behind you both as people heard your laughs echo.
"Who was that?" Midoryia asked All Might who was still looking at the door. "My guess is someone who really cares about Eijiro and who Eijiro cares about."
"Thats (Y/n) (L/n)a She went to school with Kirishima and I! OOOHHHH does he have a crush on her?!" Mina said clapping her hands in excitement. "Probably." He nodded, "She probably likes him too from the looks of it."

"So I am guessing I was right about the fact that you aren't allowed to talk about it?" You both paced the sidewalk, watching the sun go down. "Yup...sadly." He stuffed his hands in his pockets as you walked.
"You know...I would tell you if I could." He turned to you stopping. "I would hope so. We have been together for a long time so I hope that is the case..." you trailed off.
"Hey, whats wrong?" He asked putting a hand in your shoulder. Your sad eyes met with his, "(Y/n)..."
"You're about to do something dangerous...aren't you." He froze. "Aren't you!" You said tears brimming your eyes. He was taken aback. Your quirk wasn't reading peoples minds, infact you could only do this to him.
He kept looking at you sadly. "Your really mean you know that!" You shouted clenching your fists. "(Y/n)-" he reached for you only to be slapped away. "You idiot! Do you really think that changing your hair color and acting all brave means you have changed?!"
You pulled him into a hug, holding him close to you. "You're gonna get yourself hurt!" You cried into him, holding him close. "I can tell you still think you're weak! Why do you not see how powerful you are?!" Your voice wavered as you tried your best not to completely break down.
"(Y/n)....I'll come back safe. I promise."
"Don't make promises you can't keep." You pushed away from him running off the campus and to god knows where. "(Y/n)." He said in a whisper watching you leave.
"Ow...shit." you said gripping your side, the muscle cramping from you running so much. "Do you need some help?" You turned around to see a man with a glove covering his face. "I'm fine thank you though."
Something is wrong.
You took a step back. "What's wrong? Scared?" His voice was drawn out as you swallowed. ""D-don't come near me!" You shouted, immediatley blacking out as something smacked you across the head.
Kirishima froze in his spot as he stood up. Everyone's eyes stared at him as he gripped his heart, body slightly stumbling as he caught himself. "Kirishima? What's wrong?" Momo asked standing up with a few others.
"(Y/n). Something happened." He frantically pulled out his phone, accidentally dropping it with shakey hands. "Kirishima what are you talking about?"
"Something's wrong!" He dialed your number, but the line immediately went flat. "MINA CALL HER NOW!" He yelled throwing his phone at her so she could copy the number.
Mina desperately dialed the number just to make sure you didn't just block him. He phone immediately began to beep, Kirishima falling pale and his face contorting into horror.
He covered his mouth and fell to the floor, the thought racking his brain. "Something happened! I-I can feel it...she's in danger!" Aizawa looked at his student who was on the floor, his mouth was slightly open as he watched Kirishima battle internally with himself.
"Kirishima. Go to bed." Aizawa instructed. "Wha-"
"Go to bed. All of you!" He huffed at the students. They grew stiff at his command, heading to their rooms. "Kirishima...let's go." Mina said extending her hand to him. He stood up with her help and sent Aizawa a look before heading to his room.

"We found the location." Sir Nighteye adressed the room of heros with certainty. "Our mission is to save the girl. She comes first."
Kirishima stared at the table as he sat in silence. "Kirishima. Are you alright?" Fatgum asked putting a hand on his back. "Kirishima believes his friend was taken yesterday-"
"I know she was! I may have not seen it but I felt her fear!" He slammed his hand on the table sending a look to his teacher.
"Sir, there is interference across the whole of Japan! Ah!" Bubble girl shouted, the technology sparking before turing to a static screen.
Every stared for a moment confused. The screen went black and then a faint cackle could be heard. The lights flickered out and everyone stopped their movements.
"What is going on!?" Fatgum questioned. Kirishima gasped looking up at the screen before it even turned on. Suddenly Overhaul appeared on the screen, his purple feathered lining on his jacket covering his shoulders.
His yellow eyes stared into the room. "Sir t-this is everywhere!" Bubble girl told Nighteye.
"Heros." Overhaul began, voice echoing throught buildings and walls. "Do you really think we don't know about your plan to try and take Eri?" Midoryia and Mirio stood up a angry look present on their faces.
Overhaul sighed, closing his eyes and looking back at the screen. "Stupid heros. Never thinking of the bigger picture...I don't know how far along you are, but I don't really care. We have something new in our posession. Introduce yourself."
Overhaul moved out of the way to show you and Eri tied down to separate chairs facing the camera. "(Y/n)!" Kirishima yelled seeing the cuts that ran all over your body.
"I said introduce yourself!" He sliced your arm with a knife making you yelp in pain. "Stop....please-" Eri begged. "Eri! Don't beg for me, keep yourself strong. They will save you. I promise!"
"Idiot..." Kirishima whispered. "Don't make promises you can't keep."
"Since you won't introduce yourself. Do you have anything to say before all of their efforts die in vain?"
Your eyes looked straight into the camera almost knowing that Kirishima was watching. "Red Riot...Don't hide from yourself anymore. Remember what I told you, it's okay to be scared!" He took in a sharp breath as he looked at the determination in your eyes.
"Take them away." Overhaul commanded nonchalantly with a wave of his hand. You and Eri were moved off screen. "I will see you soon...heros."
The lights came back on as the screen returned to normal. "Kirishima..." Tsu said noticing the dispair on his face. "I am going to save her. I have to save her!"
_____________________
"Eri..." you whsipered in the dark room. She was huddled on the bed in tears as you sat on the floor, chained to the ground. "Huh?" Her small voice said coming from under the blankets.
"They will save you Eri. You just need to let them be your hero for once." You gave her a smile through a worn face. "I did this...I want it to stop." She shook as she looked at you.
"You didn't do anything Eri. People are responsible for their own actions. Not you." Your face went serious as you looked at her, eyes looking at the doorknob as it jiggled.
"What about you?" She asked quickly and almost silently. The door swung open to reveal Overhaul and his henchmen. You shut your lips quickly as they came in and picked up Eri, practically tossing her over their shoulder.
"Sir, what about her?"
Overhaul looked at you. "Leave her to rot."
Eri's eyes widened as she realized your fate. 'I'm fine.' You mouthed sending her a small smile, tears forming in her eyes as the door shut behind them.
One by one you let tears slip from your eyes. "I can't lose hope....Kirishima will come, he always does."

Kirishima gasped sitting up from the infirmary bed. "Fatgum? VILLIANS!" He shouted seeing Ruppa standing by a medicinal cabinet and the other man tied up on the floor.
"Whoa whoa slow your roll their kiddo! They allowed you to heal up!" He calmed the red head down allowing him to gather himself.
"(Y/n)! Where is she?!" He started to move and ended up curling over in pain. "We still don't-"
"I can show you." Rappa said turning to face them. "You fight good and I like you! It's the least I could do."
"I'll stay here and watch this guy. Kirishima, you can trust him. Get (Y/n) and lets get her out." He gave him a thumbs up and a smile. Kirishima nodded and chased after Rappa who was already leaving.
He bursted through the door with his quirk and found you huddled in your knees, your body shaking. "(Y/n)!" He said running up to you and immediately using his quirk to slice through the chains.
"Kirishima?" You raised your head and smiled sweetly. "I'm here!" He held you in his arms as you sat there for a moment. "You're hurt." You said taking note of the full body of bandages he was wearing.
"I would have been more hurt had I lost you."
"Kirishima Wh-" before you could say anymore, he pulled you into a tear filled kiss. "I love you." He confessed. "Kirishima....I love you too!"
"As much as I would love to keep kissing you, I have a feeling we need to leave. But, I do promise a date after this!" He smiled at you making you laugh.
"Let's get out of here Kiri."
