IV - "Welcome"

*for height reference and the fact some of them got taller
shinsou is the same height as sero canonically btw

Kaminari 

Kirishima pulled Bakugou towards the dormitory common room while I pulled Shinsou, the two trying to escape our grasps.

Kiri and I pushed the two into the common room, the class yelling a "SURPRISE!"

"What the hell-" Bakugou muttered out, Kirishima wrapping his arm around him, "this is so stupid. I thought I was already technically your classmate."

"Yeah, but, we thought since you are now officially our classmate, it would be nice to include you as the new kid too," Kirishima kissed the top of Bakugou's head.

It's odd how Kirishima suddenly became taller during the summer, while most of us stayed the same height. So Kiri was now taller than Bakugou and around the same height as Mr. Aizawa.

Ojiro got taller too so it's harder for me to play with his tail. It's very sad. And I am short.

At least I'm taller than Midoriya. He's literally the only short guy in the entire school (except Mineta). 

Fucking. Midget.

Shinsou and Bakugou groaned and walked towards the kitchen, the two of them starting to devour the cupcakes Sato made.

The one thing I learned during spring break was that Shinsou has a sweet tooth and he and Eri baked together a lot, though Aizawa didn't like it because the kitchen got dirty every time.

It seems really tiring to be a dad, Aizawa has even more of my respect.

I chuckled and watched as Shinsou and Bakugou grabbed a knife to cut the last cupcake in half. Their sibling synergy was way too strong, probably because Eri insists that when Midoriya is busy for Bakugou to babysit her.

Kirishima rolled his eyes and went to go sit down next to Mina, who had Hagakure on her lap.

I looked around the class. Most of them were with their significant other. It really feels like I'm the only single one even though I'm not.

I walked over to the group and flopped down next to Ojiro, who smiled over at me.

"Tail," I said simply and he chuckled and put his tail onto my lap, letting me play with it.

Ojiro and I grew up together and it's been a habit since 2nd grade for me to play with his tail when I'm nervous or stressed since I've always sat behind him in class. And now wasn't any different.

"You good, Denks?" he asked, looking at my hands that were basically grooming his tail. I shook my head and he smiled a soft smile towards me, "wanna talk about it?"

I shook my head again and he nodded, turning back his attention to his own friend group, who were all sharing stories of their spring breaks.

I joined into their conversation since I was also a part of their group, but I hung out with the Bakusquad a bit more than them. But Ojiro is also my best friend! Why wouldn't I wanna hang out with his friends?

He's kinda scared of my main group so he doesn't hang out with them, though Sero, Ojiro, and I do hang out a lot and talk about random video game shit.

"Tokoyami, is dark shadow like a little brother or a pet?" Sato asked, Tokoyami groaning at the question. 

Shoji laughed at Sato's question and made a remark on it, Ojiro and Tokoyami chuckling.

Shinsou

"I told you," I shook my phone, Bakugou growling at the thing on it. I pulled my phone away from him and kept scrolling through the article.

The article was about pro-hero sexualities. Bakugou had dumbly said Midnight was a lesbian, while I said she was ace. 

I was right. Suck it.

Bakugou growled again and stuffed pretzels into his mouth as Kirishima simply patted his head to comfort him.

I paused at the one about one of my fathers, chuckling a little as the paragraph started with a "to no one's surprise."

"Shinsou," I heard Midoriya call in a questioning voice from the side of the room he was in. I raised my eyebrow at him and he waved me over.

I pulled myself up to my feet and walked over to the broccoli boy, who gave me a piece of paper. "What's this?" I asked, looking over the paper for a bit and then up at Midoriya.

"It's a letter to Eri," he responded with a smile, "I didn't get a chance to write her a letter back, so I thought it'll be best for me to do it now."

I tilted my head at him and then shrugged, "cool, I'll give it to her on Saturday."

"Thanks," Midoriya waved me off as I walked back towards the groups sitting around in a sort of circle.

I looked over the groups and my eyes panned on Kaminari for a while before I cleared my throat and announced my departure to bed.

I know I wouldn't sleep anyway, but I wanted to be away from people for a bit. I think I had enough interactions for a day.
