Chemistry || Kiribaku Soulmate AU

After they had walked into the classroom, people had began to take seats. Kirishima remained stood at the front of the classroom as he didn't exactly know what he was supposed to be doing.

Bakugou was practically pushed to a seat at the back of the class by the other students walking through, though he did try to resist and make his way to the front.

It would bring too much attention to himself if he circled around and marched up to Kirishima now, so he held himself off for now.

As he sat down and looked towards the front, he noticed that the red haired boy was talking to someone, the fucking stupid looking yellow haired one with the weird black streak. Bakugou couldn't tell if they already knew each other, if the one with red hair was actually new or not.

"I'm Denki Kaminari! Wanna come and sit with us? I don't think I've seen ya around before!" Kaminari spoke to Kirishima with a smile, hoping that he was being welcoming.

Kirishima was slightly cautious at first, wondering why someone was talking to him, but then he realised that maybe he was just trying to be nice so he dropped that thought.

"I am actually, and that'd be nice! I'm Eijirou Kirishima," he started to follow Kaminari, letting his eyes scan the classroom to see where the blonde boy was sat for future reference. He purposefully drew his eyes away as soon as he made note of it though, not wanting to seem like a weirdo if he was wrong about his soulmate intuition.

"Where'd you transfer from?" Kaminari asked, gesturing for Kirishima to take a seat at the desk behind his. The red head did so, replying as Kaminari turned around on his chair.

"I was actually homeschooled in Johto. We were moving anyway and I really wanted to go to a proper school, so my parents let me," he replied honestly, thankful that this person had taken time out of his day to actually try and talk to him.

"You were homeschooled‽ Why'd you wanna come to a normal school‽ Plus, Johto is a while away," a pink haired girl who was sat next to Kaminari asked, looking truly baffled.

"It's kinda embarrassing to admit," Kirishima started, scratching the back of his head. "But I didn't have any proper friends. I'm not the type to relish in being lonely. Well, besides from my soulmate, but-" he stopped himself as his smile dropped, remembering what he was always told. "I guess I'm not really supposed to talk about that, huh," he awkwardly laughed, hoping the subject would change quickly.

The pink haired girl winked as she shrugged, a suggestive look on her face.

"Hey, we won't tell if you won't. I'm Mina Ashido, by the way," she introduced herself properly with a grin on her face.

"Eijirou Kirishima," the red head replied, also flashing a smile. He suddenly stopped smiling again though, when someone looking at him caught the corner of his eye.

The blonde boy, he was sure of it.

"Hey, who is-" he was about to ask them about that boy, for even so much as a name, but he was too late in asking that.

"Be quiet. I know it's your first day back, but you'll have plenty of time to catch up once class is dismissed. We all just want to go back to sleep but our time to do that has run out," Aizawa stated, clearly mostly referring to himself with the sleep thing.

Kirishima didn't want to risk getting shouted at by talking over the teacher, so he kept his mouth shut for now. It didn't last long though, as the little nag he could feel to his right just increased.

He could feel that he was being stared at, but he couldn't check. If he was right, then he'd end up making awkward eye contact in one way or another, but if he was wrong, there was potential he'd himself get caught looking.
