   ❛  no offense , but you don’t really strike me as the punk type ,  ❜  kyoka on the other hand fits the description, midoriya is the last person he’d peg as punk. it’s an avoidance, moving away from the topic at hand, being the tears falling unimpeded down his friend’s freckled cheek. kirishima’s hand rests tentatively on his shoulder, hopefully something to ground him to the moment lest he starts crying too. ❛  did something happen, midoriya ?  you can talk to me or i can grab someone else if you want, i really don’t mind if it makes you feel better.  ❜  the endearing curl on his cheek establishes the sense of trust he felt between them, though he wouldn’t have the audacity to presume it was requited. they didn’t hang out a lot but that didn’t change kirishima’s concerns for his friends. the aching of his chest when he sees him distraught, even with the knowledge of his propensity to do so without much reason. he can’t do nothing, so he reaches out before he finds himself choked up as well.

  ❛  how many of those notebooks do you have anyways ?  seems like no one could like heroes as much as you !   i think it’s cool that you analyze them like that, your hobby is as smart as you are .  i don’t think i could watch every hero 'cause i’m totally biased towards my favorites !  ❜  kirishima leans further in, engaged by his favorite topic of conversation . ❛  he’s more than my favorite, though ,   i think he’s  the best !  definitely the manliest hero !  i’m a big fan of his old movies, used to watch one every night, it’s part of what inspired me to be a hero !  ❜

❛  look who you’re talking too ,  next to tetsutetsu i’m the steeliest man around !  ❜  brows draw impossibly tight to rectify his insecurity, it’s possible tetsutetsu is a better option for bakugo to throw anyways but he doesn’t want to lose his best friend to someone with the same quirk. that’s not all he is to him, surely, but kirishima can’t help but tediously overthink. regardless , he gestures to himself with a matching smile before settling back down .  ❛  don’t call it a kill , bro someone might take you seriously . . .  ❜

     ❛  if there was a  most improved award  i think it would go to you , midoriya ,  ❜ kirishima’s parroted chuckle is followed by a nervous scratch at the back of his head, chest pronounced and full of more questions.   ❛  bakugo won’t really talk to me about you so much ,  he’s sensitive about it  but you probably know better than me .  ❜  it clears up some things while muddying others, changing certain impressions he’d had of not only midoriya but his best friend as well. kirishima hadn’t heard of quirks manifesting this late, he’s relieved it came in before high school or surely they would have never met.  ❛  i know it’s not my place to apologize for him . . . i know it doesn’t mean the same , but i do think he’s trying and ya know , improving like the rest of us . not just his quirk , i mean .  ❜

   ❛  YES YES YES !  please say it’s my turn to fly !!  ❜

   ❛  it’s your birthday !!  or did you forget ?  ❜     how could she if you’re chanting it at her every ten minutes ? her surprise at his chivalry only widens kirishima’s boisterous grin, hopping that it’s as exciting for her as it is for him to celebrate a friend. ❛  we made you a cake ! nothing like sato’s but i’ve never been much of a cook ,  ❜  a laugh resonates through her dorm room. ❛  c’mon , you got some candles to blow out unless you want to eat the wax !  ❜

    ❛  i could smell it from outside !!   i don’t need a surprise if i already know what it is, right ?  ❜  his logic is outstanding, scratching playfully at his chin as he finally stays still for longer than a moment.    ❛  my last internship with fourth kind wasn’t this awesome but at least i’m manlier because of it !  ❜  kirishima clenches a joyous fist to emphasize.

    ❛  he is gone ,  but i’m confident he just went to go fry them fresh .  ❜  a tentative smile to help lighten the mood as tamaki’s aura of anxiety seems to contaminate him as well. kirishima would be remiss to leave him under that table with no back up. crouching down to speak with his upperclassmen, ❛  if you’re scared , i’ll eat one with you !  ❜
