@osoreruna asked for a starter from here.

no one could say eijirou wasn't trying. but, as it turned out, the red - headed hero student was simply falling behind, and it was more than likely just a little worrying. kiri could feel this plateau, this stagnancy in his progress to the top. it wasn't as if he was bad, or even worse at the exercises that class 1 - a was assigned to. he was simply. . . average. while his classmates were supportive, telling him not to worry ( that everyone hits walls sometimes, some halts and stutters in progress ), there was a growing ache in eijirou's core that wouldn't dissipate. he takes a break from one of the class's training sessions, sitting against the wall in the large arena to get a drink of water and just to sit down for a moment. color him surprised when he notices all might making his way over. and maybe even a little embarrassed. " -- all might ! " he chirps unevenly, standing up to his feet. he'd just sat down a few seconds ago. " i was just taking a break. "

MIDORIYA I.

❛⠀i'm glad, you know, that you and kacchan are friends. ❜

" HONESTLY ? me too. " eijirou says with a small grin. bakugo was not hard to get along with ( well, SOMETIMES he could be ), but all in all, kiri found him a little refreshing. something like a half - challenge, to get the guy to chill out at least for a bit. and katsuki helps him as well, going PLUS ULTRA and all that stuff-- his lack of self - confidence has no room with the blond, and kirishima was glad for that. " bakugo and you went to the same school, right ? i mean, BEFORE this. was he always this motivated ? " motivated is an interesting way to put it, even if eijirou hadn't intended it. he really didn't know much at all about midoriya or bakugo's past interactions. ( @fightaers )

EIJIRO, ON HIS BACK, leans with his head on the edge of katsuki's bed, red hair falling down around him and into his eyes. he blows upwards to knock some strands out of his line of sight, but that doesn't do much. ( man, he REALLY needed a haircut ). " what are you working on ? " he asks curiously, glancing towards his boyfriend. " -- didn't we agree to just HANG OUT tonight, and we wouldn't do anything related to school ? "

@ofluminance sent in something ! * from i don't remember where " is everything okay? you seem annoyed by something. " / from ochako <3 :)

OH BOY, was it that obvious ? as the rest of their classmates run their free time training drills, the redhead sits off to the side, an uncharacteristic FROWN on his lips. eijiro doesn't try to let his mood sink low often-- he hated the feelings it brings, but sometimes it was too hard to keep up the front, especially when ochako comes forward to ask him point blank if he was doing okay. " -- i'm FI --. . i mean, i guess i'm a little annoyed. " there was no sense in lying, he supposes. " i just feel like i've hit a wall with training. a plateau, or whatever. "

" -- I DON'T KNOW, man. i just don't get it. i hate math. " kiri sighs, placing his head on his folded up arms. the library was almost empty, and while he and monoma weren't CLOSE, eijiro had taken to sitting near him over the past few weeks as they work on homework. maybe just to get some inspiration for actually getting work done instead of PROCRASTINATING.

❝ who the fuck do you think you are? ❞ (monoma) (teehee)

" -- UH, someone trying to help you ? " kiri guesses with a smile. " but hey, dude, if you don't want my help, you could just say so. " honestly, all eijirou was trying to do was suggest a study group, but turns out that monoma had no interest in such things. unless. . . ?

[riotmade]

MONOMA N.

"Bribe is such an ugly word. I prefer "deal", if you're going to be all anal about it. Either way, I'm offering my silence for yours."

He had been caught in a rather compromising position, given his reputation. Getting tutoring was embarrassing enough (he didn't need anyone from Class A knowing he was at about a C average in most of their classes, or at least, anyone who didn't know already), but getting tutoring from a member of Class 1-A was only salt in the wound. Kendou had recommended Yaomomo with quite the enthusiasm, and Monoma found her tolerable enough, so he figured he'd give it a shot... But he hadn't expected Kirishima of all people to walk into the library at this time in the evening, directly in line of sight of the blond, who had tried to hide his face with his binder. Naturally, once Kirishima said his name, he responded with a loud jeer (and got shushed), but the prickling embarrassment led him to try and catch this particular fly with honey. "It's pretty generous, all things considered. I leave you alone for a week, you leave this room and pretend this never happened."

kiri smiles, but in that awkward way. in that ' i'd never actually tell anyone i had run into you here anyways ' kind of way. he pauses by the table, his own backpack slung over his shoulders, an algebra exam peeking out from his hands with a very clear c+ written on the top. he'd only greeted him curiously because he'd never actually seen monoma in here studying in the first place, at least never during the day. kiri recognizes pretty quickly that monoma didn't want to be seen doing so.

" hey, man, it's no worries. i'm actually, uh, not too good at certain things, too. we're not supposed to be perfect at every subject, right ? i think it's pretty manly of you to get help and work on what you're bad at. " eijirou smiles a bit, sliding into a seat further down the table. far enough away not to be spying or breathing down monoma's neck, but close enough that the red head still leans over, whispering softly. " if we're both working on the same stuff, maybe we could work. . . together ? if you want. " ( @quirkthieves )

@bakgos requested a starter from here.

out of all of the things in the hero course that class 1 - a was expected to do -- strenuous workouts, first - aid certifications, foreign languages -- eijirou has decided that math was the hardest. perhaps he just wasn't good with numbers, or perhaps memorizing the many equations they'd need to know for upcoming tests and quizzes was just too difficult on top of everything else -- whatever it was, it leads eijirou to be close to the bottom of the class rankings for that particular subject. surprisingly, he's ranked relatively high for the others, so the sore spot of algebra and trigonometry and calculus was a loss of pride. which leads to now---

now, where katsuki was helping him with homework. or, supposed to be, because the minute kiri turns to ask ( once again ) for assistance with one of the problems, they lock eyes, and not accidentally. ( -- had katsuki been staring at him ? certainly not. ) " . . . what ? " he asks, thinking there's something on his face, or that he'd said something in the last twenty minutes that the blond had not taken kindly to. something, other than the fact that katsuki bakugo was staring just to do so. " what'd i do ? "

81﹕ sender  helps  receiver  [ dye / style ]  their  hair . / mina saw this and went 👀 

      KIRI SITS BACK as mina starts applying the bright red color at his roots, still playing on his phone as he does so. “ you’re REALLY good at dyeing my hair every time, mina. every time i do it i get red stuff EVERYWHERE. ” and that was true. eijirou can’t even deny that the probable reason for mina agreeing to dye his hair was because she’d seen the actual mess he’d made last time.

❝If you have to go, you know I will go with you.❞

HE DOESN'T seem to hear midoriya for a second, lingering at the door. he honestly didn't know izuku had been watching him ( where had all that TRAINING gone ? ), and kirishima turns around slowly, almost a guilty look upon his face.

" YOU DON'T mean that. " the red head responds quietly. " izuku, i have to go. i know you don't understand and i'm not expecting you to, but --. " he sighs, slinging his backpack higher onto his shoulder. " would'ya cover for me ? with everyone in class tomorrow morning ? just make something up. i'll be back SOON. " at that last sentence, his eyes gaze downward ( a tell tale sign of lying that he couldn't escape ). eijirou turns back to the door. " i PROMISE. "

❝  look,  i dunno if i’m the kind of person you need or even want right now.  but i’m looking around and i’m the only one who’s here.  ❞

     IT WAS TRUE, eijirou realized. bakugou has always been there for him. always in peripheral visions, in the background, and more often than not, directly in front of him. like right now. “ i appreciate it, bro. ” he’s eyeing the ground, as if something on the dorm’s common room carpet suddenly interested him. “ i think i just need... ” what did he need ? to be alone ? to not be alone ? he struggles to put his feelings into words. “ i don’t know what i need, actually. ” an awkward breath turns into a small laugh. he feels the uncanny need to APOLOGIZE. he bites his tongue, though, knowing how much unnecessary apologies bother the blond.

❝ don’t think too hard about it. ❞ [ sero ]

     KIRISHIMA EXHALES before looking over at sero. inside, the music from the party was loud, yet somewhat muffled after he’d closed the sliding doors to the balcony where the pair now stood. he looks away just as fast, down to where his folded arms rest on the railing. “ i’m NOT, i don’t think. it’s just... ” an inhale. a hand goes to rub the nape of his neck. “ it’s NOTHING. ”

“Where’d this giant fence come from? We had a master plan!” 

     “ -- UH, ” kiri tugs out the map from his backpack, which pools by his feet due to the sheer size. “ weren’t you in charge of the BLUEPRINTS, midoriya ? ” he stares at the nonsensical notes and drawings his green - haired companion had drawn, before huffing and looking up towards the large fence. 

     “ maybe you can SCALE it ? you know, do your.... glowy thing ? ”

katsuki sits with his ebi chilli that he made from hand not too long ago, eating away at each piece of the spicy shrimp before he finally turns his gaze to kirishima.  he immediately pulls the bowl a little closer to him with the assumption that a certain someone intended on being a seagull (though he is more acutely aware that this was more kaminari’s deal, not kirishima’s).  “i’m not sharing, fuck off.”  a pause.  he might not share his bowl, but…  “there’s more in the fridge if y’really want it.  ‘s spicy as fuck though, so y’better be ready to handle it.”  at least if his friend eats what he made, katsuki doesn’t have to get frustrated about whether or not he’s had something substantial.  win-win?

     TOOTHY GRIN leads to quick reflexes as kirishima manages to snatch a noodle with his chopsticks. he really wasn’t too hungry, but bakugou’s cooking ? well, he could make an exception. 

    the yelling that comes from his best friend is expected, and before katsuki could get out a decent hit, kiri hardens his arm and shoulder, so the incoming smack was nothing more than a small bump. “ okay, fine, fine. ” he’s half laughing, even with bakugou’s annoyed gaze landing on him. when the spice kicks in from the one noodle he’d stolen, kirishima ends up coughing a bit from the kick. ( what was with this man and SPICE ? ) he thinks to himself, retreating to grab a glass of water as katsuki laughs at his situation. he maybe deserves this. maybe.

🫂 ... :3

    “ -- ERI ! ” he couldn’t hold back the big, toothy grin that found its way onto his features. kirishima easily manages to catch the young girl in open arms as she bounded her way over to him happily. it wasn’t hard to forget the scared little thing she had been just months ago, but that seemed like a different lifetime now with the way that eri’s CONFIDENCE has grown. 

     he spins her around for a moment, happy to hear her laugh. it was DIFFERENT now, he must remind himself. NOTHING would hurt her again, kirishima would make sure of that.

‘  *therapist voice* you are stupid and gay.  ’ from the popular meme! 

      KIRI LOOKS down at the ground, as if taking a second to process izuku’s words, before slowly looking back up with a little pout. “ .... i’m never gonna ask you for advice again, midoriya . that was mean . ” true, but mean. ( he’s clearly joking ).
