Kirishima's POV
I was walking down the sidewalk next to the mall that I met that guy at last month. I wasn't going in there I was just walking last cause I needed to get away from my parents.. I was rubbing my arm from a bruise that was forming because of my dad.
Allow me to explain.. my parents have been nothing but kind to me.. but ever since I came out to them as gay.. let's just say they haven't exactly reacted to it well. They keep insisting I go to church to "pray the gay away". Yep, you guessed it. They are religious as fuck. They just don't seem to know that the bible was translated wrong.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by yelling by someone
?: stay down you tranny freak!
Hearing those words made me get protective over who was being hurt. I ran over to the source to see brown haired boy towering over that guy I met last month. I ran over, activated my hardening and, basically, karate chopped him in a pressure point. He fell to the floor, unconscious. I went over to blondey and helped him up
?: we meet again with me looking like a damsel in distress, huh?
I chuckled at that
Me: well I guess we should probably introduce ourselves now, huh..?
He chuckled back then nodded
?: my name is Neito Monoma
I smiled then offered my hand in a handshake, not realising my quirk was still activated
Me: I'm Eijirou Kirishima!
He looked like he was trying to suppress a laugh which made me tilt my head in confusion
Monoma: you, uh.. wanna deactivate your quirk first?
I squinted my eyes and furrowed my eyebrows then looked down at my hand my eyes widened in realisation
Me: OH!!
He laughed out loudly which made my heart warm. 'The fuck was that feeling..?'
Monoma: oh my goodness, Kirishima! Hahaha! Oh dear.. you- ahaha.. you probably should've thought about that, shouldn't ya?
I nodded my head as I deactivated my quirk, my hand still outstretched for a handshake. He took it this time and we shook hands before breaking them apart.
Monoma: well. Now we know eachother. What brings you out on this "fine" morning?
My smile faltered a bit but I tried to keep it up. Though he must've noticed
Me: just, uh.. trying to get out of my house
I mean it wasn't a complete lie.
Monoma: everything okay at home, Kiri?
I flinched a little at that. Am I an open book?
Me: u-uh..
No, don't stutter you idiot!
Monoma: why don't we go to the park and chat for a bit, hm?
Now that was definitely an offer I couldn't refuse. I nodded to him and he began walking whilst I followed close behind. We got to the park 5 minutes later and sat on a bench and talked. Hanging with him is nice... because I forgot all about my parents until we both had to go home.. god I wish I had somewhere to go instead of there...

4 months later.
UA entrance exams

No one's POV (this Gonna be short)
Kirishima and Monoma didn't see eachother during the entrance exams.. but the two boys knew they had gotten in. How?
They have no idea..

2 months after joining UA

No one's POV
The two boys did indeed get into the school but not in the same classes. Which makes things a bit complicated considering a purple-haired boy by the name of Hitoshi Shinsou decided to declare war on class 1-A. All Kirishima wanted to do was hang with the platinum haired boy. But that was difficult considering 1A and 1B now have a bit of a war going on against eachother. But they still managed to do secret hangouts every now and then, which made them both happy. Both were confused about their feelings towards eachother..
Now, on to the present timing.
Kirishima: HAHAHAHAHA!! Did that seriously happen to Tetsutetsu?! I knew the guy was trying to prove how tough he is but HOLY SHI-HI-HIT!!
Kirishima was almost falling off his bed in laughter at what he had just been told by Monoma on the phone
(A/N: this '-means talking on the phone-')
Monoma: -you should've seen it! We were just standing there talking about what our quirks could possibly do in ice water and the guy just said "how about I prove to you guys how tough I can be" and just jumped right in! The guy looked paralysed for 30 minutes after we got him out!-
He laughed harder after hearing this despite his best efforts to calm himself down. It wasn't until there was a laud bang on his wall by his wonderfully explosive next door neighbour
Bakugou: OI! SHITTY HAIR! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!
Kirishima quietened himself down a bit
Kirishima: sorry, Bakubro!!
He started speaking in a hushed tone now
Kirishima: I am loud in laughter, duly noted.
Monoma was quick to try and reassure him
Monoma: I hear you taking mental notes about what people think of you, Eijirou. Don't even think about trying to change yourself for them. You be yourself no matter what they think. Got it?
Kirishima chuckled at Monoma's quick reaction
Kirishima: alright, got it. Thanks, Neito..
Neito was practically smiling widely in joy on the other side of the phone. But because they weren't on video call, Kirishima wasn't able to see it. The red-haired shark boy checked the time and realised why the Pomeranian next door was so mad
Kirishima: shit.. I should probably go. It's past the time that Bakugou would go to sleep so that's why he's mad I'm so loud. I'll speak to you tomorrow, hopefully..
Neito chuckled on the other end
Neito: okay, Eiji. Sleep well! Goodnight!
Kirishima smiled warmly at his phone
Kirishima: yeah, you sleep well too. Goodnight, Neito.
The call ends, signalling that Neito hit the end call button first. Kirishima put his phone down and layed back on his bed after turning the light off with a wide smile on his face. He was still unsure of what this feeling was.. but he sure as hell loved feeling this way towards a really good friend
