Power AU

"For this project, I have already assigned you all a partner". Collective groans of disappointment could be heard throughout the class. Our teacher continued on anyways, "I know you want to work with your friends but I have partnered you up based on your powers". This assignment already had me freaking out enough that I could feel vines wrapping around my arms as they always do when I feel anxious.

These vines were part of the reason I was even in this class. 'Controlling Your Powers', my mom had thought it would be a good idea for me to take this class and I didn't disagree with her. It's not like my powers were dangerous or anything it's just that sometimes I use them without realizing.

I can make plants grow and whenever I feel stressed or anxious, which is all the time, I tend to make all the plants around me grow. The vines wrapped around my limbs seem to be a forever part of me since they always were there. Depending on my mood sometimes flowers could also be seen on my arms.

I realized I had zoned out and tried to tune back into the teacher hoping he hadn't already called my name out. I waited as he kept reading names off of his list until he finally said mine, "Evan Hansen, you're with Connor Murphy."

I froze up a bit at the mention of who my partner was and looked around the class until my eyes fell upon brown ones. I seemed as if he was looking me over and I felt small under is smoldering gaze. I turned back around to face the front of the class and listened to the rest of what my teacher had to say, ignoring the gaze that remained on my back for the rest of his lecture.

At the end of the class, he gave us the remaining time to meet up with our partner and discuss what we were going to do. I jumped and felt thorns growing on my knuckles when someone had suddenly sat down in the empty desk next to mine seeing as that person had already moved.

Connor simpered seeming pleased with the reaction he got from startling me."So, looks like you and I are partners Hansen" he verified. He stuck his hand out in front of me and raised his eyebrows expectantly.

"I g-guess we are", I uttered as I nervously grabbed his hand and shook it.

That all happened a couple weeks ago, currently I was sitting on the couch next to Connor as we discussed or project. Over the weeks we had grown to become close friends and I had learned more about Connor during this than I ever thought I would have.

It now made sense why our teacher had paired us together seeing as Connor could also control an element. The first time Connor had shown me how he could control fire it had admittedly startled me quite a bit. Especially since he's in a class that is meant to help you control your powers.

I had also learned that Connor had quite the temper on him. I've only seen him extremely enraged once but the image of his living room carpet on fire will forever be engraved in my mind.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Connor calling my name to try and get my attention, "S-sorry what did you say?" I sheepishly smiled at him.

He scoffed but repeated his question, "Do you want to go outside and practice some more?"

Once my brain finally realized what he had said I responded, "Oh, um sure". I stood up from the couch and followed him as we made our way to the back door. I shivered as the fall weather seemed to hit me as soon as the door was opened.

Connor looked at me oddly when he saw me shiver, "Cold?", He didn't even wait for me to respond before he had lit a flame on his palm and shot it at a pile of logs that were meant to be used for the fireplace. I jumped a bit when the pile suddenly burst into flames and I could hear Connor laughing behind me.

I turned to glare at him and chuckled as I willed a little daffodil flower to grow so that it was wrapped around his ankles, anchoring him to that spot. "You want to go Hansen?" he chortled, already burning the flower off of him.

I sprinted off hearing him give chase behind me only making me want to move faster. We continued like that for a while, one of us managing to trap the other temporarily and using our powers to escape and then trap the other person. Eventually, we had both tired out and were just laying in the grass, looking up at the sky as the sun set down upon us.
