With his bag slung over his shoulder, Katsuki walked down the hallway. Nerves started setting in as he approached Kiri's door. Standing in front of the door, he took a deep breath before he started to knock. From inside, he heard a muffled "What's up?" He knocked again a little louder. He felt his stomach start to turn as knob on the door turned. The door opened and then shut. "Go away." Kiri said sternly. Katsuki felt his heart sink and knocked again. "Please... open the door..." He pleaded.

Kiri reluctantly cracked the door. "What do you even want?"

Katsuki frowned. "I was a piece of shit." He looked at the ground and kicked his feet on the floor. "I'm not begging you to get back with me, but I still want you in my life." He gave a quick smile up to Kiri and then looked at the ground again.

Kiri opened the door more, rubbing his right temple. "Katsuki, you're giving me whiplash from how you're acting." He gave a little chuckle.

Katsuki gave a slight smile. "I know, Kiri, I've been a dick." He laughed quietly as he rubbed the back of his neck. "But please... be my friend. I've been thinking about all you said." His smile dropped into a frown. "I did ignore you to play my games. I stopped taking you on dates. And I always went to bed super early while I kicked you out. I'm probably not going to change, but I can be a better friend."

Kiri sighed. "At least I know my words made it through your thick skull." He laughed. "I would love to be friends with you, Bakubro."

Katsuki made a face of disgust. "That is a terrible nickname." He laughed.

"It's better than me calling you Bakuhoe." Kiri laughed even harder. "You want me to add you back to the group chat? We don't have to say any of this happened. Just that we decided to just be friends." He offered.

"Yeah, I think that'd be nice. They probably wondered why I didn't sit with them at lunch two times in a row."

Adding Kat back to the group chat, he smiled. "You wanna come in? Or would that be weird? I've never been friends with my ex."

Katsuki smiled and waved his hand dismissively. "Nah, I'm just gonna go play games."

"Alright, have fun!" Kiri smiled back as he closed the door.

Kiri went back to laying on his bed. He had his feet kicked up while lying on his stomach texting Kami. After talking with Katsuki, he started messaging in the group chat instead.

Alienqueen: THE ASSHOLE RETURNS

Chargebolt69: YIPPEE

Tapedispenser420: YUHHH

Kiri smiled at everyone being excited to have Kat back in the group chat. He took a deep breath and started to type.

Rockhard: We actually have something to tell you guys...

Chargebolt69: uh oh-

Tapedispenser420: umm...

Alienqueen: Continue...?

Dynamight: ...

Rockhard: Me and bakubro decided we'd just be better off as friends

Tapedispenser420: I mean...

Alienqueen: I-

Dynamight: Yeah. That.

Alienqueen: Oh- so that's why you weren't sitting with us? I thought we just pissed you off or something

Dynamight: You guys do nothing BUT piss me off

Tapedispenser420: you love us so much

Chargebolt69: he so does, he just can't say it

Dynamight: Fuck you

Chargebolt69: that's literally how he says I love you

Kiri set his phone down with a smile. "These guys really are just that easy to be friends with. I really do have the best friends." He picked his phone back up and started texting Kami again.

Rockhard: So...

Chargebolt69: what?

Rockhard: I don't know, he just showed up at my door and asked to be friends again

Chargebolt69: ohhhhhh

Chargebolt69: I was wondering why you added him back to the gc

Chargebolt69: so are you guys cool again

Rockhard: I never had a problem with him!

Rockhard: Let teh record show that!!

Rockhard: the*

Chargebolt69: I mean, he quite literally told you to fuck off

Chargebolt69: but we all know that's his way of saying he loves us

Chargebolt69: ...

Chargebolt69: wait

Chargebolt69: was it because I came out of your room

Rockhard: Kami. Oh my god.

Rockhard: He assumed that I was hooking up with you before we broke up and he probably thought we were just celebrating us breaking up

Rockhard: Kami, I have to go talk to him.

Chargebolt69: I knew I should've stayed in the room and kept my mouth shut

Rockhard: No, it's probably for the better like this

Putting his phone down again, Kiri stood up and put on his shoes. He basically ran down to Katsuki's room, ignoring anyone in the hallway.

When he got to his door, he brushed off his clothes and then knocked on the door. While waiting for Katsuki to open his door, he started fidgeting with his hands, picking at his nails, peeling at dead skin around his fingers. He knows he didn't cheat on Katsuki, but he already felt guilty for making out with Kami right after they broke up.

The door opened and Katsuki looked at him with his head cocked to the side. "What's up?

Pulling the door open he pushed into Kat's room. "Oh, okay..." The blond said with a slight laugh as he closed the door and sat back on his bed. "You just wanna hangout?"

Taking a deep breath, Kiri sat on Kat's bed. "I didn't cheat on you. You know that, right?"

Kat raised an eyebrow. "Yeah...?" He said. It was almost a question as he was trying to figure out what was going on.

Kiri bit at his lip and picked at his nails. "I didn't cheat on you. I swear." He paused; his breath became shaky. "And when Kami was in my room after we broke up, I wasn't just celebrating getting away with anything."

Kat sat on the bed next to him chuckling. He put his hand on Kiri's shoulder and looked him in the face. "If I'm being honest, anything you did after we broke up is none of my business. I know you didn't cheat when we were together. I was being a petty asshole because I wasn't thinking of your feelings. Just my own."

Kiri's breath started to even out as he realized Katsuki came to his own conclusion of the same thing. "So, you..." He gulped. "You don't care?"

Rolling his eyes, he took his hand off the redhead's shoulder and laid back in his bed. "We're not together anymore, shitty hair. Live your life." He chuckled and then sighed.

Standing up Kiri looked at him. "I still do love you. That's why I want to be friends with you. You're in my heart."

"Don't get sappy, shitty hair." They both laughed.

"Okay, well," he started heading for the door. "I'm gonna leave you to your games, Bakubro."

He friendly waved as he walked back to his room with a clear conscious.
