"WHAT!" Mina stares open mouthed, looking between them with gawking eyes,"WHAT!" She shrieks even louder.

Kirishima cracks up, watching as Mina openly fangirls. Sero already died, having frantically fallen to the floor just for laughs only to actually hit his head and just give up. He's currently laying on the floor with an 'I don't care anymore' face as Kaminari yells "I fucking called it!" to the world.

"You-" Mina points between a laughing Kirishima and a stoic Katsuki,"Are dating!?"

"Yes." Katsuki says for the 5th time,"We are."

"Dating!?" She shrieks, and honestly, now Kirishima is getting bored of their shock.

"Yes Mina..." Kirishima smiles at her gently,"And we're not kidding... We've been together for, like, a week and a half now... We thought you guys should know."

Sero finally wakes from the dead, lifting his head up from the common room floor,"Ok so..." He grunts as he gets up, and Kaminari flops on the couch next to Mina. Kirishima and Katsuki sit on the one oppisite of the squad.

"We're really sorry for that one time Kirishima." Sero says apologetically,"But since its clear waters now, can I ask if your gay or not? If you don't wanna answer thats fine..."

"I'm bi." Kirishima says simply, giving them all a smile,"I finally figured it out..."

"And Bakugo?..." Mina looks at Katsuki and Kirishima does too, watching as the blond looks at each of them,"Can we ask you?"

His boyfriend fidgets- he actually fidgets infront of their friends- then he glances at Kirishima and the red head can only smile. He isn't going to push him to do or don't do it.

The slightly taller boy sighs,"Demi... Gay..." He mutters, brows furrowing,"Now leave me alone."

They all grin, smiling brightly,"Thats cool!" They say in unison, and now kirishima can see why Jirou calls their group creepy sometimes.

"My turn!" Kaminari leans forward and takes a deep breath as he glances at all his friends,"I'm gay."

"What!" Mina literally falls backwards,"WHAT!?"

Sero grins,"Called it bitches."

"What! You knew!?"

"Of course I knew..." Sero says promptly,"I mean... I look at dudes the same way you do..."

Kaminari stares with broad eyes,"So you're-!"

"Confused. Why yes I am indeed." Sero sips his coffee while Kaminari just dies.

"I'm a bi peep too!" Mina shrieks from her place on the floor,"Fuck, I was so nervous about nothing!"

"Wait so you're a bi peep too." Jirou pops up out of no where, smiling,"Dude, solidarity."

"Awesome!" Mina holds her fist out and Jirou bumps it to hers with a bright smile. Jirou then looks to a cackling kirishima, fist bumping him too.

They all giggle and talk after that, talking about how they feel about certain things, and Jirou proudly announces her three year crush on Momo.

And then, kirishima's phone rings.

He's the only one that notices of course, his phone being on vibrate. He pulls it out, looking down at it as he tries to stop laughing at a joke his friends told him.

His eyes grow wide as he sees the name on the callers profile, and he shoots straight up, staring at it like hes holding a piece of Aztec gold.

His friends all look at him, their eyes questioning or confused. Mina is the one to ask first, biting her lip at the suddenly quiet atmosphere,"Dude?"

"Its my dad." He says flatly and answers it immediately, walking away from their group with a hard stride.

Kirishima can feel their hard stares on his back. Theyre probably wondering why he reacted the way he did, why he seemed so startled. The only person that knows over there is Kaminari.

He hasn't seen his father in 6 months, hasn't heard a phone call from him in 5 and a half.

He misses his dad, but sometimes he wonders if his dad even cares.

He steps into the stairwell, taking a deep breath before saying,"Hello?"

There's some shuffling, and Kirishima feels his heart leap as his father's voice comes onto the phone,"Eijirou."

"Hey dad." He says, and can't help but smile. He hasn't heard from his dad in months, he thought for a while that maybe his father had decided Kirishima wasn't worth his time anymore.

Thankgod it isn't like that.

"Hey kiddo." There's a sigh, I'm coming to Japan on the the 23rd. I thought I'd call you a few weeks ahead of time, maybe we can set up some dinner?"

Kirishima honestly feels dumbfounded. The last time he seen his dad face to face, the old man couldn't even look him in the eye, his similar features screwed up in a demoralizing look, like he was failing his son.

That was the day the divorce was signed.

"Son?"

"S-Sorry!" The red head blurts, and probably a little too loud, so he laughs,"Im sorry. Its just... I haven't heard from you in so long,"His voice lowers to a whisper,"I thought maybe..."

"I'd left you?"

"Yeah."

"I couldn't do that to you Eijirou." There's a huff,"Or myself, you're the only family I have right now."

Kirishima swallows tightly,"Yeah..."

"...Hows your mom?"

He really does feel his throat close then, his chest hurting some as he admits quietly, ashamed,"I haven't talked to her since I came back to school."

"Wha- Eijirou." His father sounds slightly astonished,"Why?"

"Its just..." He bites back his tears. He knew this would happen someday, that his parents would be split up, and he'd probably end up seeing one more than the other.

And hes known, since he was like 10, that someday he would have to face his parents, but seperated. And even though they never seemed to be truly in love, or maybe they didn't always want to be with eachother.

But that doesn't erase all the good moments that they did have in their little three way family. And Kirishima will miss those.

He swallows hard, closing his eyes tight and willing the burn to go away,"Its hard to talk to you guys right now." He says softly. He knows thats something his dad doesn't want to hear, that's probably something many parents don't want to hear, but he was raised not to lie too often, and he's always told his parents the truth.

"Oh." His dad says quietly on the other end, his voice sounding choked off and kinda hurt. Kirishima wishes he didn't have to hear it.

"I'm sorry..." He hears from his father next,"I wish you didn't have to be in the middle of all this."

"...Yeah." Kirishima says quietly. He feels stiff, like his mind is in the wrong place.

"How about we talk about this two weeks from now. When we set up dinner."

"Ok." Kirishima bites his lip, then decides,"Hey dad."

"Yes kiddo?"

"There's um..." He leans against the wall with his shoulder, pressing the side of his head to the tan-ish white color,"There's somebody I wanted you to meet before you go back to England."

"Oh..." His dad sounds intrigued then, and then theres a simple chuckle,"Is it a girl?"

"...It's somebody I want you to meet dad." He says instead, noy wanting to give wrong ideas or himself away,"I'll have to ask them first though, I'll text you if they're coming or not."

"Ok... I guess I'll pick out a resturant."

"Ok."

"Ok."

It gets quiet, and much like Kirishima, his dad always laughs when the quiet is too much, and the red head can't help but smile at it.

His father finshes his little laugh then he sighs,"Alright son I gotta go before my secretary kills me with the daggers coming out of her eyes."

Kirishima laughs.

"Love ya kiddo."

"Love you too." He says gently, and as the phone clicks on the other end his heart floats.

He's happy his dad called again, he's been waiting for that call for way too long. And even though it was short, he greatly enjoyed it.

Now...

The boy sighs, taking a deep breath and hoping his eyes aren't too shiney from almost crying. He walks back out to the common room, setting down next to his boyfriend.

Bakugo looks over at him, frowning as he sees the creases in Kirishima forehead.

"Whats up with you?" He asks quietly, beneath the loud mouths of their friends. He reaches over, pressing his fingers to the wrinkle in the red heads brow.

Kirishima smiles gently at his boyfriends- he still can't get enough of the damn word "boyfriend"- soft gesture, reaching up and grabbing his hand gently as he looks into his pretty crimson eyes.

"I need to talk to you."
