Bakugo pov:

I felt super refreshed in the morning. Knowing that Kirishima was safe lifted a heavy weight off my chest, leaving me relaxed and able to sleep. I change into my school uniform roughly, obviously without that annoying tie and stomp outside. I slam my fist against Kirishima's door as a very calming and melodic wake up call. The door swings open and I accidently hit him on the nose.

Kirishima hisses in pain. "Shit! Bakugo, what was that for?" He grips his nose.

"Tch. Let's just go." I pivot around on one foot to stare at the view outside the huge glass pane letting flowing light hit against the unoccupied stairs. I make eye contact with the back of the black head as he walks past and towards the deserted stair case. I follow closely behind him.

Kirishima pov:

I felt so tired today though it was pretty normal. Nothing special happened today which I'm happy about. I kept my system topped up on pain medication. I'm standing outside the dorms with the rest of the 'bakusquad'. We're talking about the most random of things. I just want to sleep instead of being stuck out here with them.

I ignore the others and look out at the path leading to the 1-A alliances. I see the silhouette of someone with black hair. My eyes widen at the realization. "Uh, guys?" I catch everyone's attention.

"Yeah Kiri?" Mina questions.

"My brother is here and I kinda need to talk to him in private." I scratch the back of my neck. Mina nods her head and everyone follows behind her and into the building. I turn back to the path and watch Zeref walk up to me. "Hey Zeref." I greet and cross my arms over my chest. He stops a few feet in front of me.

"hey Eijiro," he replies.

"how's home?" I ask soothingly.

"It's the norm. How was...you know?" He cautiously asks and I stiffen at the mention. "I-I overheard dad on the phone with you. Tell me they didn't hurt you that bad." He pleads.

I stay quiet for a while and advert my eyes away from his. "Is dad doing what he did to me?" I ask after a while and Zeref slowly nods. "You have to get out of there! I don't want you to go through what I had to go through. I don't like to see you hurt." I protectively say. Tears start forming in Zeref's eyes.

"Well y-you went through the pain so I should to..." he responds timidly.

"No you shouldn't! What he did was not acceptable!"

"Then why didn't you ever report him to the police!?"

"B-because I didn't h-have the guts but you d-do!" Tears start forming in my eyes as well.

"But I'd feel like a horrible brother if I left you to suffer through all the torture alone!" He replies.

"No! You'd be a horrible brother if you stayed and didn't report!" I shout and grab his shoulders. Zeref flinches under my touch. I speak normally, "If you continue to let him rape you like he did to me then you'll never be able to live a normal life." Zeref starts to get angry.

"So your saying I'm weak!?"

"No!" I gesture to myself before continuing, "look at me! Do I look even close to normal? No, I'm traumatized and broken and I don't know how much longer I can deal with this pain!" I start to cry and grip desperately at the top of my shirt.

"So!? That won't happen to me!" He screams. I raise my hand and he flinches.

"You're already flinch with a simple hand raise. I really don't want anything more to happen to you!"

"I'm still not leaving!"

"I can't with your stubbornness, Zeref. I'm too tired to deal with this crap. Please make sure you stay out of trouble, ok? I don't want to have to go to the hospital again over the same cause of mom," I say.

"Only if you promise to do the same," he huffs out, referring to the last thing I said.

"Fine. I promise not to kill myself." I say defeated.

"And..." He pushes.

"I promise not to self-harm as well."

"Good. And I promise to do the same as well." He replies. I nod and he starts to leave. I wipe my eyes and look up at the sky.

"I hope you all rot and burn in hell you fucking messed up assholes." I whisper at the sky before heading back inside. I ignore all my friends calls and walk through the deserted hallways to my dorm room. I slam the door behind me and immediately fall onto my knees. 'Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.' I repeat in my head. The tears start forming and I try to push them back but I don't succeed.

I collapse onto the ground and press the palms into my eyes in an attempt to stop the tears from falling but it prevails.
