Kirishima had spent a few days in the hospital, disoriented and dehydrated. From what he had been told, a gunman had snuck into the set and fired shots a week before and Kirishima had disappeared in the havoc. But Kirishima didn't remember what had happened. He didn't remember much about the last month or so, in fact, and it was bothering him.
He recalled waking up in an abandoned building with a handful of cops and paramedics around him, asking questions he couldn't answer. There was a bullet wound on his shoulder he didn't remember getting and he didn't recognize the clothes on his body.
The entire situation was so terrifying. It made him feel sour all over.
"Taishiro..." he decided to bring up his idea on his last day in the hospital, "I think I should hire a bodyguard."
"That's a good idea, lad. I'll line some trustworthy people up for you."
"Thank you."
The list of trustworthy candidates was short, only a few people with varied backgrounds and personality types. Taishiro gave Kirishima a folder of resumes before the interview, allowing him a little time to come up with questions. None of the potential hires really stood out to him. They were all strong looking, beaten and rugged from years of working on the job. He interviewed them all without much excitement. Was this what bodyguards were always like? Or was it just the good ones?
But then, when Kirishima had almost had enough, the final candidate had come in.
"Bakugou Katsuki?" He looked up from reading the name at the top of the resume and was surprised to see how young this one was.
"Yeah." He was dropped down into the extra chair with the demeanour of a school boy in detention. He didn't have he vibe of a bodyguard at all.
And yet, this intrigued Kirishima.
"So, you've only had one bodyguard position before this?"
"Well, yeah."
"And how did it go?"
"Fine. I protected the guy. He's still alive."
"Right..." Kirishima scanned the resume again, trying to think of more questions. His curiosity for this guy was stronger than it had been for the others. "Why did you leave?"
"The job was done."
"I see..." Kirishima nodded. "What made you want to continue?"
Bakugou hesitated at this. It was almost as if his facade was breaking. But then, it snapped back and he was cocky again.
"Because I'm good at it."
"What made you pick me? Surely there are other people in the city who need guards."
"Taishiro specifically requested me, so I came."
"So you and Taishiro have a history?"
"You could say that."
Kirishima gave a long nod. "Do you mind telling me how you met?"
"I do mind. It's kind of a secret."
"But it's nothing to be worried about?"
Again, a hesitation, this time for longer. Was it suspicious that Bakugou wouldn't talk about it or did it mean he was just being professional?
"You shouldn't have to be." He replied finally.
"When can you start?"
"What? Did I seriously get the job?"
"Did you think you wouldn't?"
"Well..."
So the tough guy persona WAS an act...
"Are you going to take the job or not?"
"Yeah. Of course. Duh." Bakugou rolled his eyes. Maybe it wasn't an act after all.
"Well then, welcome to the team. I hope you can guard me well."
"I hope so to."

FIN

I'm finally done aaaaa. I'm sorry it took so long. I've been doing a lot of oneshots trying to get employed and now I'm trying to move out without my mom knowing wish me luck.
Anyway, I could turn this into a two parter but part two might be as slow to update as this one was (actually maybe a little better because I'll have internet once I move out but I'll also be working.)
So do you wanna see the bodyguard dynamic continue or do you want to assume that they ended up happily ever after? I could also just add a sequel chapter which might work better but who knows.
