This is a special request by my good friend Riot_Anime
We bounce ideas off of each other and help each other with the occasional edit with a little chit chat thrown in the mix. I adore you all and I hope you guys enjoy this Kirishima × Original character (my first OC btw please be gentle).

I'm working on finally finishing other requests, this one just felt right to finish first.

Kirishima gasps as he suddenly wakes from seemingly nothing. Shrugging, he shuffles across his moderately messy room, weights scattered along the wall next to his dresser. He always overlooks putting some of his clothes away, opting to toss them over the chair he seldom uses for actual studies. The red glowing numbers on his bedside table show the time and damn it's late. 2:58 AM is surely much too early to be waking up for the day, and Kirishima is still much too jittery from the sudden way he had been woken up. Kirishima is no stranger to the odd times his body and mind chooses the perfect time to jolt awake. This time of night has slowly become his favorite, so peaceful. Kirishima sighs as he reaches the chilly railing and looks over the balcony of his dorm toward the city. There's a small patch of closely-knit trees between the outdoor training grounds, right outside his room, and the bright lights flickering to life in the tall buildings and neon signs in the distance. The sky's typical azure hue has deepened to a black freckled void, the moon grinning back at him.

The winds shift and a scent of lilacs break Kirishima's muddled thoughts about nothing in particular. Looking for the source in the distance, now completely conscious, Kirishima notices a white figure...dancing? The training grounds directly to the right of his room is a person dressed in white baggy clothes, dancing in slow melancholic movements. There is no music to be heard that Kirishima can hear from this distance. "There shouldn't be anyone else awake at such an ungodly hour..." Kirishima mutters to himself.

Kirishima wakes with a familiar jolt night after night at 2:58 AM for several days. He spends this time between sleep watching the figure move with grace and precision to the sounds only the white figure can hear. The more Kirishima watches though the more he realizes the movements are closer to fighting moves. The way the figure sachets their hips into a sidekick, their feet do not point, as if kicking some unseen force in the chest. Their arms swing outward not with outstretched fingers but rather balled into fists. "Who is that?" Kirishima asks himself every night with no intention of getting closer, possibly interrupting the graceful violence.

"Dude, are you okay?" Kaminari asks while prodding Kirishima's slouched shoulders.

"Huh, what...what'd I miss?!" Now fully alert to his surroundings, Kirishima is surprised to see that class was already over. Aizawa was long gone and most of the class had already fled to their dorms to unwind from today's lessons.

"Dude, everything ok? You've been spacing out way more than usual for a few days now. I'm surprised Aizawa hasn't noticed! Are you getting enough sleep?" Kami said while he stuffed the last of his papers haphazardly into his backpack.

"Yeah, just having trouble falling asleep." Kirishima trailed off unsure whether it is a good idea to tell his admittedly loudmouth of a friend what he's seen night after night.

"Well, I just jerk off and pass right out. Have you-" Kami is cut off by a rather flustered Kirishima.

"I don't want to talk about that kind of stuff, bro. Good for you but I'm fine, thanks." Kirishima's embarrassment is too obvious to the rest of the remaining students as they chuckle at his expense. Poor Kirishima's face only burns brighter, challenging the color of his red hair.

Bakugou's trademark "tch" is heard on his way out of the classroom. Seeing an opportunity to flee, Kirishima shoves his schoolwork into his bag. Before the confused Kami can continue with his unintentional assault of embarrassment, Kirishima runs out, waving goodbye to the electric blonde. "Gotta study with Bakugou right now, see yeah!"
