Empty Smiles (KiriBaku)

When we got there, he took a deep breath and smiled. We walked in together and it was a few minutes till class starts so we headed to class and he sat in his seat and I stood by his desk as he talked to me, rambling about this one pro hero, 'I guess he likes this Crimson Riot, noted' I looked over and saw the rest of the Bakusquad walk in laughing and talking.

I shot them a glare as they walked over. "Why are you here?" I said still glaring, "cus were his friends, why are you here Half-n-half?" Bakugo said glaring back.

~<Todoroki's POV>~

I stood glaring them down. I broke the eye contact, looking at Kirishima, who seemed to be uncomfortable. "I need to talk to you guys outside" I said looking back at all of them. Not waiting for a response. I stood there and soon Ashido, Kaminari, Sero, and Bakugo. I looked at them with a glare, "spit it out already why are you being so weird Icy-Hot?" Bakugo yelled, "well this is more about Ashido, Kaminari, and Sero, because technically you weren't called Bakugo. But why didn't you answer Kirishima's calls? He needed help and he called you trusting that you would answer, than tried to call Bakugo but got my name instead, so why the hell would you not answer?" I said annoyed.

To my surprise Bakugo didn't look confused, but rather, I think guilty, than Ashido spoke up, "well Denki, Sero, Bakugo, and I were all talking, we were talking about making sure Kiri was okay today because he seemed off yesterday, and that's when he called me, I didn't know what to do because I know if I answered I would have ended up asking him than which, from experience doesn't end well, because in middle school I would try to call him but he stopped answering when I asked him what's wrong, so I ignored the call, but than Denki was called, and after that Sero. We were prepared for Bakugo to be called but it never came around, so what do you mean he needed us...?" She said tears in her eyes scared of what could have happened. I gave them a look, "well it's not my place to tell you what happened, because he might not be comfortable with that, but he really needed you, and still needs you, so be sure to keep an eye on him, or you may lose him" I said turning and walking back in the classroom.

As I walked in the class I looked over to see Kirishima had fallen asleep at his desk, you could see drool coming out of his mouth and his sharp teeth poking out. I stood by his desk and was about to ruffle his hair when an arm wrapped around my wrist. "Oi don't touch him" the blond said in a mad tone. I looked at him confused, and this time he looked away was a hint of pink on his ears, 'huh he likes him doesn't he?' As I thought that he let go of my wrist and said, "he needs his sleep, knowing him he probably had a rough sleep like usual so let him sleep! You Half-n-half bastard!" He yelled, ironically causing Kirishima to groan a little at the loudness.

I look at him and tilt my head, "do you like Kirishima, Bakugo?" I asked curiously. Next thing I know, Bakugo's face is bright red and making popping sounds, I guessing the heat is causing his nitroglycerin sweat to make tiny explosions on his face that sound like pop rocks. He grabs me by the shirt and says, "no I fucking don't!! What gives you that idea?!?" I just look at him with the same expression saying, "well your hands are more sweaty than usually, your breathing has increased, I can hear your heartbeat from here and your face is as red as Kirishima's hair, so if I'm right, aren't those signs of romantic attraction to someone?" He makes a huff sound and lets go of me, "no those aren't signs th-those are signs that I'm his ...friend! Yeah! Those are signs that this Extra is different!" He said with a triumphant smile and sits down in the desk infront of Kirishima's.

I was about to walk over to my seat when a hand grabbed my, but this time it was Kirishima, seems Bakugo's yelling woke him up, "hey uh want to hang out with my friends and I? It would be cool!" He said with a toothy grin. I nodded, than noticed the look Bakugo was giving me. I ignored it and sat down, watching at Aizawa Sensei got to the front of the class, clearing his throat.

I looks at everyone scanning the room. I see that blond girl with purple eyes, I think her name is Tarakai, walk into the class and sit next to Kirishima, she seemed to give him a look. I was going to get up, but Aizawa Sensei cleared throat again.

"Okay class, I have announcement, tomorrow we will to a training facility, it's the USJ it means, Unexpected Simulation Joint. We will train for different scenarios you may end up in as a hero. So be sure to bring your Hero outfit to school tomorrow" he than went into his sleeping bag and layed down. I looked over at Kirishima and Tarakai was giving him a different look, and Kirishima looked nervous.

I walked over and in unison with a certain blond who was walking over too I say, "what's going on over here?" I look up and Bakugo gives me a glare. I look back at Tarakai, "wow, Ei! You didn't tell me you had so may friends! Nice to meet you! I'm Hikari Tarakai, nice too meet ya!"

She said getting up and facing me with her hand out, giving me a smile, that doesn't seem believable at all. I don't grab her hand and just plainly say, "Todoroki, Shoto Todoroki"
