     "What are these?" Kirishima asked, concerned to the brim. Kaminari's knuckles were bruised, his cheeks littered with small cuts. Kaminari felt small, his brain running wild. "I fell. Nothing serious." The blonde showed a smile to Kirishima. Kirishima hesitantly nodded as he watched Kaminari run to class.

~•~

    Kaminari showed up to school with bruises and cuts once more. "What happened this time Kam?" Kirishima questioned, putting his stuff in his bag. "Kirishima, you ask this everytime I get bruised up." Kaminari whispered softly, A strained smile on his lips.

    "Because I care about you. As a friend and all." The redhead mumbled back, his face showing great concern. Kaminari felt his heart pound as he shoved his stuff in his bag quicker. "Promise me if something happens you'll tell me ok?" Kirishima asked, holding his pinky out.

   Kaminari looked at the redhead before looping his pinky around his and touching thumbs to secure their trust.

~•~

    "I'm not hungry." Kaminari said as he shoved the spoon away from his face. "You look like you haven't eaten in weeks bro." Kirishima commented, scooting closer to the teen. Their shoulders touched softly as Kirishima placed their spoon by Kaminari's lips. "Eat." His voice was stern, worry laced in every letter.

    "I-I can't it's your-"

   "I don't give a fuck about me right now. You need to eat something! You could pass out!" Kirishima exclaimed. Kaminari could see the worry in his eyes as he hesitantly took the spoonful of food in his mouth.

~•~

    Kaminari didn't want to go home.

   It's been a year since he's been adopted and it's been the same treatment everyday.

   He hated it.

    "I'm home." Kaminari whispered softly. "Hey Kami." His dad replied, his mom coming with a platter of food. "Hey sweetie, I made you a snack. Don't eat too much though don't want to add to the weight you already have." His mother replied, her voice dropping octaves with every word.

    "Thanks mom, but I'm not that hungry." Kaminari trudged trudged up the stairs hearing his parents shout words at him. "Get your grades up they're horrible." Kaminari basically had 90's in all his classes.

    "Lose more weight ok? It must be hard walking up all those stairs." Kaminari worked himself out until he passed everyday. "Don't sleep to early! You want to spend time with us don't you?" This dad shouted. Kaminari meekly replied back. "Yeah."

     He hated it

    Yet, compared to other parents, this didn't seem as bad to even be considered abuse. He didn't like it, he tried to make his parents happy but it never seemed to work.

    They hired him a personal trainer, someone to control his diet, and a tutor. He didn't oblige, he couldn't.

    Maybe he was too fat, weak, and dumb. This was for his own good.

    "Kaminari!" Aizawa yelled at him waking him from his slumber. It shook the boy out his boots as he bolted up from his seat. "Y-Yes!?" The done-with-everything teacher sighed as he told Kaminari to sit back down. "Go to sleep earlier. You've been falling asleep in my class lately." Kaminari nodded meekly, trying to keep his eyes open and pay attention to class.

~•~

   "I completely bombed that test!" Kirishima groaned as he slyly wrapped his arm around Kaminari's neck. "What did you get?" Kirishima asked softly, scared when he felt the blonde's body shaking. "A-A ninety." His voice was strained, raspy almost. "Good job bro! I got a sixty seven! I don't even know how I'm going to explain this to my parents." The redhead didn't see Kaminari's mood brighten.

    He actually seen it get darker. "You alright?" Kaminari felt his body get weak for the first time in a while, his vision starting to black out. "O-Oi Kaminari!" Kirishima shouted, catching Kaminari's unsettling light body. Kirishima felt the color drain from his face as he lifted the teen into his chest.

~•~

  Kaminari slowly opened his eyes, his body wrapped in soft duvet covers. He had a change of clothes while a rag rested on his forehead. He groaned, his body feeling lighter then usual.  "W-Where am I?" He grumbled hoping for a out-of-the-blue answers like in the movies.

    Except he didn't get one.

  "Shocker." He chuckled to himself. Sooner or later Kirishima walked into the room, hair down and a towel around his neck. He placed a soup on the counter as he turned around, expecting to see a sleeping Kaminari.

    Yet the blonde was wide awake, staring at the  crimson eyes with shock. "Kami! You're awake! Thank god! If you didn't wake up sooner I was going to take you to the doctors." The blond felt his pale face go red as Kirishima leaned closer towards Kaminari. "K-Kiri-"

   "Sorry I was just reaching for the rag. You're really hot." Kaminari blushed redder, it going all the way to the tips of his ears. Kirishima also began to feel his face getting hot as he quickly corrected himself.

"N-No it's just that your forehead is burning y'know?" Kirishima nervously chuckled as he placed a cold rag on Kaminari's forehead "oh! I made some soup. I didn't get around to making dinner yet...but I hope this'll work." Kirishima said, standing up to get the hot bowl.

"K-Kirishima I'm not-" Tears welled up in the redheads eyes as his hands began to shake. "Kami...you passed out in my arms...I was scared Kami! I never seen you pass out in my life! You promised me you'd tell me if something was wrong! But I didn't hear anything." Kirishima cried out, making Kaminari's eyes widen.

"So please eat...that's all I want for you Kaminari. I just want you to be ok. I care for you..." Kaminari wrapped his arms around Kirishima, bringing him into a reassuring hug. "I'm so sorry for making you worry." The blonde whispered, his voice softer.

After they pulled away from the hug, Kaminari spoke. He told them about how his parents tell him about things he needs to change. Or how he needs to become better for them. He told him about how it effected his eating, sleeping, and mental state.

He told him that he felt alone and scared sometimes.

Kirishima listened, soon joining Kaminari on the bed and holding him in his lap. It was comforting, Kirishima played with Kaminari's hair slowly. In all honesty, they just like being in each other's arms, it felt secure and nice as if they'd lose it if they let go.

    Kaminari snuggled into Kirishima's chest, feeling his arms go around his waist. The blonde felt his body relax at all the attention. "You know I care about you right?" Kirishima mumbled, placing his head on top of the blonde.

    "Did you mean that in a friend way or-" Kaminari questioned. Kirishima thought about it for a minute before sighing contently. "No. I don't think I do. It's just that...seeing you in such a condition makes me want to protect you no matter what. Like your bodyguard but not a bodyguard? You know?" Kaminari felt his cheeks flush as he pried Kirishima's head off his.

     He turned his body around, sitting down on his knees. "You mean that? You wanna protect me??" Kaminari felt a smile spread over his lips as Kirishima caressed Kaminari's cheeks. "Yeah. You mean everything to me Kami." Kirishima leaned down towards the blonde's lips, wanting to seal their promise.

      Kaminari complied, kissing Kirishima back passionately. The redhead tangled his fingers in Kaminari's golden locks, pulling him in closer. Kaminari melted into the kiss, feeling his heart pound harder.

     Slyly, Kirishima bit Kaminari's lip gently, politely asking for permission. The elder opened, their tongues gently colliding with one another.

     It felt like heaven.

~•~

   The next day Kaminari woke up in Kirishima's arms, his face pushed into the redhead's chest. They spent hours watching Tv after they ordered food. So of course it would've turned into a surprise sleepover.

     Kirishima began to stir in his sleep, pulling Kaminari closer towards him. Kaminari smiled softly, moving the red strands of hair away from his eyes. "Morning~" The redhead said gently, placing a tender kiss on Kaminari's forehead.

     Kaminari smiled back. "Morning Eiji~" Kirishima began to turn red as he snuggled closer with Kaminari. "I love you so much." Kirishima said softly making the blonde flustered.

"I-I love you too."
