Up until high school, Mirio and I had always gone to the same school and had always been in the same classes. Whenever the school didn't put us in the same class, we would immediately make a public protest of it outside the school until we got our way. Quite the crowd formed around our protest each year supporting us in our endeavor and fighting for their own friendships as well. It was a blast!

We were practically inseparable when we were younger and by middle school, he truly almost felt like a brother to me. Almost. We were closer than any siblings in the history of Earth but I didn't actually view him like my brother-from-another-mother or anything like that. Looking back on it, I probably would have never been friends with Mirio if some circumstances had never come to fruition. That's just speculation though.

Anyways, later on in our friendship, Mirio met Tamaki Amajiki during our 3rd grade year of elementary. Only a few years after Mirio and I met. Amajiki and he were also close friends who grew up with each other from a young age. Honestly, if someone ever asked who Mirio would choose between Amajiki and me, I frankly had no clue who he would choose. The best decisive answer I ever came up with for this question was "Bros before hoes" but, once, when someone asked Mirio if he would stick to that mantra in such a scenario, his response was this:

"Y/N is a true bro at heart. I don't think bro is truly a gender-dependent term but if you really view it that way, you can refer to her as an honorary bro."

This statement of his actually made the entire classroom go silent for a beat before they all broke out into giggles. From that day on, the boys in the class always referred to me as the "honorary bro". I do believe the boys who referred to me as such had a level of respect for me but, as the term goes, "boys will be boys". Needless to say, they would still exclude me from specific conversation topics such as "girls". They were all fairly chill on the whole though.

Getting back on topic, the interactions between Amajiki and I were always minimal and stilted. Throughout elementary and middle school, our only true connection was through Mirio and our desire to become heroes. We were acquaintances at best. I mean, we got along just fine and whenever all three of us hung out at once we interacted alright. The problem was, our personalities didn't seem to quite fit together. Mirio is this outgoing, energetic, optimistic guy who we could both relate to but I also dealt with social anxiety. This didn't make for a great combo between Amajiki and me when it was just the two of us. We didn't know how to play off of each other.

Now, don't get me wrong, I can be extroverted and that is why Mirio and I create a great dynamic duo but overall, I'm more of an omnivert. I'll go out for a day, hang out with a large group of people and have a blast! ...but then I need to go hide in my bedroom and ignore the whole the world for a while after. I would just watch a shit ton of anime on my computer until I felt ready to re-enter the land of the living once again.

Aaaaand I'm talking to myself again... A true genius.

Ah, shit! I spaced out during class. I can't allow myself to fall behind. I have to work hard. For Mirio.
