at this point it was more than obvious that those chicks were just after that dude’s pretty ass, instead of focusing on the cooking class. it was more than annoying and pissed him off. he definitely didn’t sign up for a bunch of simping fangirls, but for some useful lessons to pursue his dream. clicking his tongue, he unwillingly looked around the room, as in attempt to find a needed partner (but not really). this was going to be bothersome, he thought to himself, still ignoring the crowd of girls trying to win over the white-red haired guy next to him.
with a grim look, the blonde leaned over, hand on his chin, while thinking about what to do about this partner thing. he wasn’t exactly the type of guy who worked well with about everyone. actually there was just a small amount of people, namingly those he would call his friends, who he would be able to be paired up with. and apparently there was none of those present. his ear twitched, when he heard the only other guy in the class speaking up. and above that, his question was directed at him.
wordless, he glanced to the side. some of the girls surrounding him already started to back up from him, making it easier to listening to him talk. it was not like he actually wanted to team up with the other guy, despite him being the only one who had asked him to, but katsuki didn’t had another choice. so he nodded silently and said: “fine. just don’t get in my way.”
slowly everyone paired up and the teacher finally started the lesson by giving instructions how the applications worked and where they could find the ingredients for the first task. sighing, he remembered the words and the light hit on his head, when his mother told him to always introduce himself to strangers. what a fucking nutjob. “the name’s bakugou katsuki. what do i call you, half-half dude?”
he’s just glad that the loud, booming and shrieking voices had died down, allowing for a more peaceful experience. this wasn’t what he’d signed up for: he’d assumed that people would be at least somewhat quiet during a class such as this, but so far, the most quiet one of them all had been the constantly angry looking guy next to him. a surprise, to be sure, but a pleasant one at that. ❛ yeah - i won’t. ❜ while it’s more than obvious that there’s a hostile reaction to shoto being next to him, he can’t be exactly sure as to why. though he figures it’s best to not poke the sleeping bear and just follow instructions given by the teacher.
shoto is nothing if not diligent with his note-taking, jotting down every single word the teacher utters, even if they were nothing more than simple instructions. he’s brought out of his focus by the sudden voice speaking next to him, making wide eyes blink curiously up at the blonde. half-half? a hand rises to momentarily hover over his scar, though he quickly lowers it instead. he hopes he’s talking about his hair and that the burn on his face isn’t a topic that he tries to throw around just for shits and giggles. ❛ todoroki shoto. ❜ he offers with the smallest of smiles. ❛ pleasure to meet you, bakugou katsuki. ❜
