The Exchange Student - BNHA fic

Welcome to UA!

I step out of the taxi to see a large building which I assume are the dorms. It's about midday on a Saturday. All of my belongings had been sent ahead and should be here already. It was a long drive from the airport so I'm glad to stretch my legs. I look up at the dorm looming over me and look down to find a man in all black walking towards me. I assume he's a teacher here.

Damn, may I just say. He is hot! A hot mess, but hot none the less. I smile as he approaches. He looks so dead inside my only thought is 'mood'. I push down my anxiety and prepare to meet my new classmates. As this guy gets closer I notice the scar under his right eye. How bad ass. A pro hero no doubt, but one I'm unfamiliar with. He's tall and looks like he belongs in a My Chemical Romance music video. He's incredibly pale and I can't tell if he's wearing eyeliner or if he's just that sleep deprived. Either way. Same.

"Hello, I'm your homeroom teacher Shota Aizawa. You may refer to me as Mr. Aizawa. You're joining the class late, and so I must assume you're behind the other students to some extent. I do hope that you put in your best effort to catch up. Follow me and I'll show you the dorm and your room." Short and to the point. I like him. "So your name is Aaron Hall and you're from America, correct?"

"Ah, yes sir. It's nice to meet you. I can assure you I want nothing more than to be a great student." That sounds good, right? Should I thank him? I'm pretty bad at formal interactions such as this... Oh well. He just grumbled a response as he looked at his clipboard.

"Follow me." He said spinning around and walking into the dorm. He started giving me a tour and it wasn't long before we ran into a student. We had only gotten part of the way through the downstairs area.

"Hey Mr. Aizawa, what are you doing here? Oh hey who's that?" Asked a boy with bright red, spiky hair. He's kinda cute. Well, really cute.

"Oh, Kirishima. This is a new student. Aaron. He's an exchange student from America. Part of a new program UA is doing. Aaron this is Kirishima. He's one of your new class mates." I waved and gave a polite smile as Kirishima walked over to me. Cute boy getting close. Anxiety also getting close.

"Well Aaron welcome to UA!" He gives a bright smile. He seems nice.

"Thank you Kirishima. I'm- I'm glad to be here." Anxiety is dumb and I don't want it but apparently I get no choice. How nice.

"Anyways, I should show Aaron his room so he can start unpacking." Mr. Aizawa cut in. Thank him for that. This feels like an awkward conversation going nowhere.

"Oh yeah. Alright! Well maybe I could come with you and help you out? I could introduce you to everyone else after!" Hmm.

"That could work. Would that be okay Mr. Aizawa?" I look over and he shrugs.

"I suppose I could just formally introduce you on Monday. Come on." With that we head upstairs and to my room. Once we get there and I get the key Aizawa says his goodbyes and is on his way. Just leaving me and Kirishima in my room. Alone. Pretty boy and me. Oof. That's not anxiety inducing at all.

"So where should we start?" He asks enthusiastically. I look around the room at all the boxes of my things. This is overwhelming.

"I guess you could help me put up my shelves? They're over there." I point to the box and he nods. "Do you like to do stuff like this? I love putting things together." I smile and ask as we work on the shelves.

"I've never really thought about that I guess. I guess I do enjoy it some." We were almost finished. It had only taken about 15 minutes to do both shelves.

"It's so satisfying to know that you built something with your own hands. You did that. You know?" I look proudly upon the furniture and pick up the bookcase closest to me. I may look weak but I'm certainly not. I lug it over to a corner and sit it down. "You can put the other one here." I point next to me.
