One Week Later
Kaminari's POV:
Kaminari: Cannot believe you were actually being truthful with that letter...
                          
Toga laughed.
                          
Toga: And I can't believe that you took my letter seriously, and hey, your friends are safe as a result. So I guess we have that in common.
                          
Kaminari: No, really though... why did you warn me about that ambush?
                          
Toga just shrugged.
                          
Toga: Felt like I needed a change of pace. Even if it ended up a one-time thing... besides, attacking random students isn't a part of what I and a few friends of mine consider necessary.
                          
Kaminari: Change of pace...? Aren't you supposed to, y'know, not give that info up?
                          
Toga frowned.
                          
Toga: Hey, you can at least thank me for the heads up, I might not do that all the time you know.~
                          
Toga looked down.
                          
Toga: Besides, don't you think it's possible that some of us don't—
                          
My phone started ringing, cutting her off mid-sentence. I took it out and looked at the caller ID. Kirishima. I looked up at Toga nervously.
                          
Kaminari: Uh, hey, my friend is calling me like it's urgent...? Should we meet up some other time?
                          
I was waiting for her to get annoyed, but instead she just shrugged.
                          
Toga: Sure, how about Sunday?
                          
Kaminari: Uh, okay. That works. And, thanks for the heads up.
                          
Toga smiled at me, and I felt a familiar fluttering in my chest.
                          
Toga: You're welcome, Kaminari-Kun.
                          
The two of us parted ways as I picked up the call.
                          
Kaminari: Hey dude, what's up?
                          
-Kirishima: U—Uh, Kaminari-Kun...? Can you come back to the dorm please...?
                          
I tilted my head, immediately noticing him calling me formally.
                          
Kaminari: Sure, I'm on my way back, what's the matter?
                          
-Kirishima: I'll tell you when you get here, don't tell anyone else about this please...?
                          
Kaminari: Okay, sure dude... I'll be there in a minute.
                          
-Kirishima: See you then...
                          
Kaminari: See you then?
                          
I spent the whole walk to our dorm with a bunch of question marks floating around my head. What was he talking about...?
                          
Once I walked in I heard somebody in Kirishima's room. I walked in and saw Kirishima curled up in bed, and heard him crying. I walked over and sat down, patting Kirishima on the back.
                          
Kaminari: Hey dude... you okay...?
                          
Kirishima pulled his head out from under the covers and shook his head.
                          
Kirishima: N—not very manly to be acting like this, huh...?
                          
I didn't know how to respond, almost everything I could say sounded wrong in some way, shape, or form.
                          
Kaminari: Do you, want to tell me what happened...?
                          
Kirishima sat up and nodded.
                          
Kirishima: It's... about Bakugo. And what he said to Midoriya-Kun and Todoroki-Kun...
                          
I frowned, still feeling mixed about it. I'm not surprised he'd be upset to hear the news, but I didn't think he'd drop so low to scare Midoriya-Kun like that and make him cry. I mean that's not unlike Bakugo-Kun, but geez... that was a low blow, even for him.
