In middle school everyone had a half an hour long lesson about soulmates, and that was the last time we were allowed to talk about them. We couldn't ask questions. We couldn't talk about them with friends. It was considered rude to do so, almost as rude as asking a women if she is pregnant.

That always confused me, why couldnt we ask questions? Why was it like a law not to ask? What could I do though, I am only one person after all.

The lesson explained that there are two types of soulmates; best friend type ones and romantic type ones. The marks start to form up to a week after the youngest 16th birthday.

They appear on the inside of the wrist, if you get two marks that means you have a romantic soulmate, one mark means you have a friendship soulmate.

Once those marks appear then you get a special mark on a random part of your body that matches with your soulmate, can be big or small.

You can also talk to your soulmate on your arm, so whatever you draw on your arm they can see.

Side note, keep in mind:
Shoto B-day: Jan 11th
Katsuki B-day: April 20th
Izuku B-day: July 15th
Eijiro B-day: October 16th
(Eijiro and I are Libra gang :P)
(Katsuki's b-day is engraved in my brain since its 420 XD)

You are probably wondering why I started to talk about the soulmate thing so randomly, right? Well right now I'm in a boring lesson and I let my mind wonder.

It's October 10th and I still don't have my soulmate mark. It is possible to have about a 3 year age gap but deep down I didn't feel like I would end up with someone that much younger then me, maybe I had a best friend soulmate, I hope not though.

3rd Person Pov:

"Problem Child are you listening? I asked you a question." Aizawa Sensei crossed his arms and leaned against his desk. Midoriya's face burst into a vibrant red color.

"Uh- um I-I'm sorry Aizawa Sensei I spaced out." Midoriya started to fiddle with his fingers on his desk while he was talking, everyone now looking at him.

Aizawa pinched the bridge of his nose between his thumb and pointer finger, sighing, "Pay attention Midoriya, I'm not letting you off the hook next time."

Midoriya let his head droop in embarrassment, he hasn't been that embarrassed in a long time. Teary eyed he clenched his pencil in his hand and scrunched his face, forcing himself not to cry.

Suddenly he felt a small sting on his ear, then a piece of paper fell on his desk.

He opened the small note, 'Dont worry about it, something like that happens to everyone :) -Your safe place, Kirishima'

Midoriya blushed a deep shade of red, he looked at Kirishima, giving him a small smile. Kirishima gave him a toothy grin and a thumbs up.

Midoriya's embarrassment seemed to slip away and he was able to pay attention to the class after that.

+++++

The bell finally rang, after what felt like hours to Midoriya. Once everyone was getting up Midoriya put all his things in his bag.

The note from Kirishima seemed to stick to the desk, almost like it wanted Deku to notice it again. Deku smiled at the paper before folding it up and putting it in a pocket in his bag.

"What was that?" Deku jumped at the sudden voice in his ear, he turned around to see Todoroki looking over his shoulder.

He smiled at Todoroki, blushing a soft pink at how close he was. "O-oh it was a note from Kirishima," Todoroki looked at Midoriya with a blank expression.

"He passed me the note after I kinda made a fool out of myself in front of the class." Deku scratched his upper lip nervously, while letting out a nervous laugh.

Todoroki seemed to catch on that Midoriya was upset, "I didn't realize anything that embarrassing happened."

To anyone else that comment from Todoroki might have been rude, but to Midoriya he knew that Todoroki was trying to make him feel better.

Midoriya let out a happy sigh, "Are you ready to go to the dorms?"

Todoroki nodded, the boys walked out of the classroom talking happily.

Back in the classroom Kirishima was walking up to Bakugou.

"Hey Bakubro!" Kirishima smiled his signature grin, "What Shitty Hair?" Kirishima stopped smiling and looked at Bakugou worried. "Are you okay?"

Bakugou grunted, "Yeah I'm fine." Kirishima didn't push, he knew Bakugou would open up if the problem was bad enough.

Kirishima just squeezed his shoulder in a friendly way, "Ready to go?" Bakugou nodded.

When they turned the corner out of the classroom Bakugou bumped into someone. "Hey wat-" Midoriya looked up at him, a pink hue on his cheeks as they made eye contact.

"Ah! Sorry Kacchan!" Midoriya was still on his chest, not thinking about it, Bakugou ruffled Deku's hair.

Deku blushed a deep red, "U-um Kacchan?" Bakugou seemed to snap out of his trance, putting his hands up in the air, "Tch stupid Nerd. Get off."

Bakugou scrunched his, now pink, face. "S-sorry again." Midoriya ran into the classroom, head down.

Kirishima looked at the flustered Bakugou. Kirishima saw right threw him, "What was that about Bakubro? Do you maybe... I dont know... like Deku?"

Bakugou made explosions in his hand, "WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT SHITTY HAIR!?" Kirishima laughed, grabbing his shoulder and pushing him back. "Calm down, I was joking, I know you dont like Deku like that."

Bakugou put his hands in his pockets, scowl on his face, he started to walk off.

Todoroki walked past them, back into the classroom. Kirishima and Todoroki exchanged a small smile and polite wave.

"Midoriya did you find your other notebook?" Todoroki put his hand on the door frame, leaning against it as he watched Midoriya pull his bag apart.

"T-Todoroki I cant find it." Midoriya was starting to stress out, he was looking threw all his stuff quickly.

Todoroki walked up to Midoriya, took a deep breath, and wrapped his arms around him and put his chin on the top of Midoriya's head.

Midoriya stopped, brain shut down as he stood there frozen. Todoroki pulled away, rubbing the back of his neck. "A-ah sorry Midoriya. I just didn't know how else to calm you down."

Midoriya's face went from a ghost white to a tomato red in an instant. "Don't be sorry, you did calm me down. I just wasn't expecting you to do that, you didn't need to do that though you could've just talked to me. N-not saying I didnt enjoy the hug it just wasn-" Midoriya was interrupted by a smiling, giggly Todoroki, "Midoriya you are mumbling."

Midoriya ended up staring at Todoroki's smile, it was absolutely beautiful. After he realized he was staring, something clicked in his head... "OH MY GOSH ITS IN MY ROOM!"

Midoriya pushed everything into his bag, losing a few eraser caps and paper clips in the process.

He took off, grabbing Todoroki's hand, running down the hall.

Todoroki was laughing and Midoriya was smiling as they ran past Bakugou and Kirishima.

"What do you think that was about?" Kirishima asked, pointing his thumb at the space next to them. "I don't know and I don't care." Bakugou grumpled.

Kirishima laughed, "Jeez Bakubro you never change." Bakugou perked up a little bit, then a little blush covered his ears.

"Come on Shitty Hair, let's get going."
