I am normal.

Chapter 8

Kirishima's P.O.V

Eijirou had watched Bakugou leave, staring after him as he started to get drenched in the rain. He saw the solemn expression he wore yet, part of him looked relaxed. Even in the rain which he hated so much, he was calmer than he had seen him in a while.

"If you take a picture it'll last longer Kirishima.", Kaminari muttered, staring down at his phone with contempt.

"What– I don't know what you're talking about—", he laughed, he really was only looking. He would be back soon anyway. The shops were 15 minutes away.

"We all know you're head over heels for the guy.", Kaminari scoffed. Well, he wasn't wrong. He did like Bakugou – like liked him. He always thought he was cool, somewhere along trying to get to know him he started to like him for real. He may have been too hasty in his decision, thinking Bakugou felt the same way.

He didn't know that Bakugou would avoid him entirely. He didn't know that everyone around them would stay with him and leave Bakugou completely alone. Eijirou had been glad when he saw Midoriya's group dragging him everywhere even if it hurt a little to see him hanging out with others.

"Ah- there is something I want from the shop actually.", Midoriya stood up in a swift fashion, practically jogging to get his shoes on.

"I'd hurry up if I were you, I doubt Bakugou is going to wait for you.", Uraraka laughed although Eijirou noticed the way Midoriya flashed her a worried look. She too caught on and looked to Iida and Todoroki who both sat up simultaneously. But Eijirou didn't know why. Why?

He looked to them with a questioning look, and Uraraka only gave him a forced smile. Midoriya had already left, sprinting out of the door as if it was urgent.

"Alright! I'll go grab the snacks.", Uraraka sighed with the smile still plastered on her face. Her two friends followed her. Eijirou stared after them.

"Ah dammit!", Kaminari suddenly yelled, chucking his phone on the couch beside him. "Stupid game..."

After ten minutes the trio came back with snacks, piling them up on the table and everyone began to dive for the ones they wanted the most. Eijirou too.

"Hey! Why did you grab two?!", Mina gasped.

"It's for Bakugou.", he wasn't here to get his own, he'd barely eaten anything all day. He looked out of it all day actually – uncharacteristically quiet and in the background. He had been looking quite tired so maybe he just didn't feel like it? Everyone had their days. Even Bakugou.

"Gosh~ just get married already.", Sero groaned getting comfortable on the floor. Mina nodded and Kaminari hummed in agreement.

The whole class sat and played games. There was a bout of mario cart, treating it like a football tournament eventually the best few players were put against each other. Jirou won it. She, being the victor, got to chose the next game as per the rules and went with just dance.

Eijirou ultimately sucked at it, honestly fun and embarassing. Mina won it, of course. She was the class dance Queen. It was hilarious watching Todoroki and Iida try and dance. One was incredibly stiff, the other tried so hard to copy the moves exactly that he got lost and ended up being two steps behind.

Instead of another video game, Mina chose the classic truth or dare as she always picked. He was surprised that they hadn't ran out of truths to ask and dares to doom someone with.

It had been over an hour. There was no sign of Bakugou or Midoriya so before they started Eijirou text him. Well, a few times. They played and every five minutes he would check and there was nothing. He was thinking perhaps he didn't take his phone with him? Bakugou was never one to be on his phone, he very rarely answered texts too. So it was normal. It was totally normal but Eijirou was worried. He thought back to the exchange of troubled glances earlier – the way even as they looked like they were having fun, all three of them were constantly looking at their phones too. 
Like him, the more time that passed with silent phones the more worried they got.
