You fall to the ground breathing hard sweat drips down your face and you quickly take off your gloves. "Gosh, this is a lot of work..." you say as you look at your punching bag "I thought it was just hitting something but this is... Difficult". You breathe quickly in-between breathes, you sigh and sit up being met with a water bottle "Hey, good work today!". You blush as you take the bottle "T-thanks Kirishima" you say taking a drink of the water "Your face is turning pink, maybe we should go outside for a little break, I know I need one". You chuckle and he throws his hand out for you to grab, you grab it and he pulls you up.

"You've been working really hard, I'm proud of ya, I've never seen you so motivated" Kirishima says as you walk outside of your house. "I appreciate that, it's just... Since my quirk isn't that good, I need to be physically strong as well". He smiles "That's a pretty manly thing to do" you smile and lean on your car. A silence fogs over you both as you catch your breathes and feel the cold air on your hot bodies. "L/n?" You turn to Kirishima "Yes Kiri?" You say tilting your head slightly. He walks over to you and leans on your car as well "Are you worried about your quirk?" You smile.

"Well, I'm still not able to control bigger bodies of water, well... Besides that one time..." you say looking down. "Hey, it's not your fault I got hit by your water, it hurt but I know it was a accident". You sigh "When I actually become useful, I accidentally hit one of the future pro hero's, I'm hopeless..". He sighs and pats your head "Everyone has there moments L/n, but you did help us out, before you hit me you did hit the Nomu". "Yeah, but if I keep hurting the people I love I'll end up nowhere" he jumps from your comment "Love?".

You cough "I mean well- care- yeah" you say as you try to keep your composure. You walk back inside of your house and downstairs to your work out room, he follows quietly. You put your gloves on as he puts on gloves as well. You walk over to him as you tighten your glove, a small blush on your cheeks as he makes eye contact with you. He gets his hands ready and you start to punch them, you both continue like that until later on.

"It's almost 10, I have to head home" he says looking at his phone "I can drive you" you say turning to him. "You don't have to- it would be pretty unmanly of me to have you drive me at night". You sigh "You know I can take care of myself" you say, he smirks and pats your head "Fine, but I'll at least drive myself there". "You want to drive then switch seats-? You really want to be a gentleman do you?" you tease he chuckles a small blush on his cheeks. "I can't ruin my reputation" he jokes, you punch him softly in the shoulder with a soft laugh.

He rubs his shoulder than takes his bag "Let's go" he says walking outside to your car. You hand him the keys and he continues to drive, the car ride is silent and awkward. "Y/n!" The sound of Kirishima's voice scares you and you accidentally hit him with a huge blast of water. You scream running over to him, you shake him but he was knocked out cold, you scream "Fuck! Ejiro please wake up-!" A fist hits into your back and you get thrown into a wall. The feeling of  your ribs breaking made you scream in pain, you could hear loud screams as people saw you bleeding.

' Because of you, you hurt Eijiro and almost died you will never be good enough ' this thought hurt you. You feel a tap on your shoulder "Y/n..?" Kirishima was looking at you confused, a tint of worry in his eyes. "Why are you crying...?" He asks genuinely concerned for you "u-um" you touched your face, realizing, as he said, you where crying. You quickly wipe your tears and cover your face "Y/n, hey, are you okay?" He says turning his attention completely to you. You didn't know what to say, honestly, ever since the first attack from the LOV's you never got it out of your brain. The look on his face when he was unconscious, he looked to be in so much pain.

It never left, the guilt, it had always stayed, you didn't know why because you where reassured millions of times. "It is okay!" "It wasn't your fault!" "I forgive you!" You never believed him. "I-I'm sorry it's just-" you look away "I can't forget-" you say quickly, looking out the window seeing Kirishima's house. "Forget?" You sigh "The look on your face as you where unconscious, the feeling of hurting you- the pain". "I don't know why I can't forget, but the pain from my broken ribs wasn't the biggest. It was the pain of hurting the one I love that took over all of the physical pain".

You feel the tears drip down your face "Even though you've forgiven me countless times since then..". "The guilt from hurting you was so strong, I hated myself, I still do, how could I let my guard down like that?!". "How could I hurt you?!" He was silent, he stared at you as he thought "Y-Y/n, I didn't know you felt that way, it is pretty unmanly of me to not notice". "Y/n, you don't have to worry about it, you matter to me, I don't want you to hate yourself because I never knew". "You're amazing, and honestly I wasn't expecting to get a confession like that from you".

You blush looking away "I'm fine now, look at me" you turn and he holds your hand bringing it to his chest. "Do you feel my heartbeat...? It's still beating, and probably beating a little faster now that you said that". You giggle softly a sad smile on your face "Do you really love me?" You blush "I-i... I do, honestly" you say. He smiles and hugs you, you hug him as well, the smell of him scenting your nose. "I do too" he says then pushes you back "C-can I... Kiss you?" He asks politely, with a red tint on his face.

"Y-yes" you say, he softly moves closer and kisses you, he holds your hands tightly. He breaks the kiss and plants his forehead on yours, you blush deeply as he kisses your hands. Before you could say something a yell comes from his house "Eijiro! Is that your girlfriend?!". You chuckle as he becomes flustered "Mom! Yes-... Wait do you...?" You nod "Yes! Um, I'm coming!". He kisses your forehead then leaves, waving goodbye as he runs to his mom giving her a hug.
