Katsuki Bakugou's POV

5! 4! 3! 2! 1! HAPPY NEW YEARS! AND LET THE MATE FINDING BEGIN!

An intense sweet smell hit my nose at full throttle. It was intoxicating and I almost choked. I looked to Kaminari and Kirishima and Kirishima was looking at Kaminari confused and wide eyed.

"Kirishima! Come on! Let's find our mates!" Kaminari cheered while turning around frantically.

The school had become a burst of chaos as everyone was so anxious to find their mate. I saw Kirishima look down and then back up at Kaminari. His eyes were shining with love and happiness.

"Kirishima? What's wrong?" the stupid Pikachu asked.

"Are you like an idiot Denki or... like a dumb ass?" I laughed at the boy's obliviousness.

He looked between me and Kirishima confused. "Are we not looking for our mates?" he questioned us again.

"Denki Kaminari, you're mine." Kirishima grabbed at his arm and pulled him into a tight embrace.

Kaminari's eyes started to water and he began to hug back, "It's me? I'm yours?"

Kirishima pulled back from the embrace to nuzzle into Kaminari's neck, "All mine. You smell so good."

The two began to laugh as they held each other. They looked towards me and I took that as my signal to walk away. It was awkward seeing everyone jump into different people's embraces. Some of the pairings were easy to guess, like Hagukure and Ojiro or Kendo and Tetsutetsu but there were some odd ones, like Ochako and Tsuyu or Iida and that one girl from support, Mei I think?

I could smell the sweet scent. It smelled oddly familiar, like home. The smell reminded me of warm baked sugar cookies that you make during Christmas. I smiled, she's here somewhere, just where? The smell was strong but faint. I knew that the person was at this party, but not in the main hall. I began to look around as I followed the smell. My mate wasn't in any of the classrooms either.

"Where the fuck are you?" I muttered to myself.

As I climbed the stairs, the smell seemed to get stronger and stronger. Filling my lungs, my heart kept beating faster and faster. I was almost there I could feel it. My thoughts halted me, didn't Denki and Kirishima say something about feeling what your mate was feeling if you concentrate? As the smell filled my nose and warmed my soul, I began to concentrate on my mate. I focused on the way they smelled and how I would hold them and love them more than anyone, then it hit me. Tears began pouring out of my eyes, my heart felt like it was being broken over and over again. Why was my mate so sad? I'm going to fucking kill whoever hurt my mate.

I was at the door to the roof when I felt the pull of my mate the strongest. My heart was racing as my hand found it's way to the door. I opened it slowly, not to scare off whoever was waiting on the other side of the door.

I closed my eyes as I fully opened it. My future was right at my fingertips. I opened my eyes and my heart dropped.
