Chapter 3: Eijiro Kirishima

Warnings: light verbal agression and mild panic attack. 

--------------------------------------

Eijiro is having a hard time and he can't get out of it. He has an enormous crush on the boy with the most explosive personality in the whole class, even the whole school: Bakugo Katsuki. But his classmate doesn't seem to show any interest in any kind of human contact. Eijiro doesn't even know how to begin to express his feelings toward him.

He hasn't said anything to anyone about his feelings for Bakugo, let alone that anyone knows he likes boys. Yet he is almost certain that Mina knows, she is like a sister to him and knows him through and through. He himself only realized how he felt about his classmate when he watched with great admiration as Bakugo won the sports festival with flying colours. His own confrontation with his friend in the sports festival also plays out repeatedly in his mind as he continues to admire his opponent's clever tactics. That was so manly, even if it was quite unusual that he had to receive his medal tied up afterwards.

"Pfff... Where is Kami now?" His thoughts were interrupted by Sero sighing loudly. His friend did have a point, they said they would meet in Sero's bedroom half an hour ago to work on their project electrical tape. Eijiro was also invited this time because he also has an idea that could help with the elaboration, and he is curious if his quirk will allow him to be part of the whole project as well.

"He'll come. You know him, a big scatterbrain." He smiles "Shall we warm up already?"

"Good plan, otherwise, it might take even longer." To reinforce his words, he shoots tape from his elbow to the ceiling of the room, where a target is hanging. The tape sticks to the second ring from the inside out to start.

"Not bad, bro, not bad."

"I hope Kami is just as warmed up when he gets here." Another sigh comes out of Sero's mouth as he plops back down on his bed. "What are your thoughts by the way?" He turns his head to his friend, and he looks at him curiously.

"So, up until now, you've been using your two quirks separately: you shoot the tape and Kaminari makes them electrically charged." Sero nods in confirmation and Eijiro continues, "Wouldn't it be even more effective if you ran the electricity through them while you were still shooting?"

Sero's eyes sparkle and the smile on his face widens as he jumps straight from his bed. "Kirishima, you're a genius," he says.

"And I actually had some ideas for my own quirk as well." Eijiro continues cautiously, not wanting to come between his friends unwelcome.

"Tell me about it," says Sero enthusiastically.

"So, if you hold me with your quirk, we could mimic a wrecking ball. And with Kaminari's quirk, I could..."

Eijiro is interrupted by someone coming tumbling noisily into the room. Kaminari throws open the door and drops in as if he missed a step that isn't there. He tumbles in with a head roll and ends up on his back with one leg in the air, and the other over the bed. Sero was able to jump aside just in time before he would have gotten a leg in his face.

"Speak of the devil." Sero struggled to hold back his laughter.

"What an entrance bro." Eijiro also can't keep his smile off his face.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry I'm late." Kaminari himself also has a smile pasted on his face that looks funny upside down.

"Indeed, sorry, you kept us waiting." Says Sero still smiling.

"Sorry, sorry" Kaminari straightens up and Eijiro's gaze falls on a huge bruise in his side.

"Bro, where did that bruise come from?"
