chapter 2

Shinso's POV

"Where are we going?" I question getting settled in the passenger seat. "We're getting Denki McDonald's. And everyone else."

I look at him in disbelief. "Dad's gonna kill you!" I look out the front window. "Oh it's fine! Todoroki gave me Endeavor's credit card." I pause. "Can't you get arrested for that?"

"I know what I'm doing Hitoshi." He assures me and then laughs. "I was kidding. Shota said it was fine since everyone has been nicely behaved, and I'm just getting an ice cream for everyone. That's only $20 plus tax." (£15.99 for my UK friends)

On the way, dad makes me text the class 1-A group chat.

Exhausted: strawberry, chocolate, or caramel ice cream?
Sparky: chocolate what kind of question is that
All Might Fanboy: Strawberry please!
Sparkle Sparkle: Chocolate s'il vous plaît
"King Explosion Murder": I dont fucking care
Floaty Bitch: Strawberry
Constantly Hard: chocolate please
Tape Arms: caramel I guess
Sparky: who likes caramel? ew

I finally got the rest of the class to answer and there were 9 chocolate, 7 strawberry, and 4 caramel, plus the chocolate for my dads.

Once we arrived home, everyone either sat in the dining room, the kitchen or the living room. I was in the living room along with the Bakusquad, Tokoyami and Shoji.

Denki seemed a bit bored since everyone was either in their own conversation or playing Mario Kart.

(Jay when you read this I'm begging you to play Mario Kart with me today)

"So.. What was the clue?" I ask without thinking. He looks at me in confusion then it clicks. "Sorry, I'm stupid.." he laughs awkwardly. "They're a boy." I smile slightly. I didn't know how to react.

"Can I read it?" I ask awkwardly. "Oh yeah! It's in my room so later when we go upstairs I can show you."

It was currently June 29 at 18:45. "How do Mr. Aizawa and Present Mic tell the difference in who you're talking to?" Denki randomly asks me in the bathroom while I'm washing my hands. "Usually the tone of voice. I sound a bit more energetic or sometimes they both respond, or sometimes the wrong one responds. It can be frustrating." He just nods in understandment.

"Still wanna see my letter?" He asks eagerly. "Sure." I say blandly. We walk to his dorm and sit on his bed to look at the letter.

"He's tired... Maybe it's me." I joke earning a small laugh. "Possibly."

Time skip

It was currently 23:57 on June 30 and I was getting in the elevator to go get my letter from the mail box. Since it was just now midnight, I decided to get a drink of water first.

When I entered the kitchen I saw Denki. Over the past days we've walked a bit more than usual and he's the first person I've actually wanted to be friends with in a while.

"Hey!" He says looking up from his phone and at the clock seeing it's midnight. "Happy birthday!" He smiles.

"Why are you awake?" He stops and thinks for a second. "I dunno. Anyway, let's go get that letter!" He runs out the door with me trailing behind.

He reaches into the mailbox and pulls out an enclosed letter from my soulmate. "We just got a letter, we just got a letter! We just got a letter, I wonder who it's from!" (If you know that reference you're a real OG)

"Here you go my good sir." He says presenting it to me like I'm a king. "Thank you, peasant. Now go push the elevator button I guess. We're going to my room."

He runs off to do as I said and I walk as fast as my tired legs will take me. "Open it!" He says when while I shut my bedroom door.

I sit down on my bed and tear it open.

Hey Shinso! Happy birthday! I really wish I could see you right now. You were so adorable and drowsy all the time.
When writing back to me, you can refer to me as anything! You can just call me soulmate, or some more fitting nicknames would be idiot and crackhead.
Today I'm taking you out to dinner. Often we attempt to get all fancy and go to dinner together, but in the process of driving to the restaurant we just decide to get McDonald's since that's what I always pick. Hopefully we're successful today.
At the end of letters, please put a guess of who you assume your soulmate is. If you don't have a guess, just leave it blank.
Just know that I love you so much. Enjoy your special day and try to sleep a little bit!

"They sound really annoying." I say throwing it on my pillow. Denki picks it up and seems to be studying it. "I think they were just excited to in contact with the past you. Isn't there a thing where if you guess them within three months then you'll get to meet your future selves?" I look at him and suddenly feel a bit determined.

The whole soulmate thing never was interesting to me until a few months ago. I really want to meet him/her. "What's the clue?" Denki asks.

I pause for a second. "What's the best fast food place?" He looks at me with disbelief. "McDonald's! Anyone with a brain would know that."

Me and Denki end up actually having a fun time and at some point started to watch some SpongeBob and other fun kids shows.

"What's your sexuality?" Denki says out of the blue. "Ohh... I don't really know." I pause and think about love. "What about you?"

"Well my soulmate is a boy... I think I'm pan! I don't care if they're a girl, boy or anything else. Love is love if it's with the right person."

Denki and I decided for him to just spend the night here. It was Friday so it would be fine.

The bed situation was a bit awkward, but I trusted him to not do anything. He seemed chill.

After I took my pills to help me sleep, I crawled into bed, my back facing Denki's. After about ten minutes, he called my name. "Umm... Shinso..?" I turn to face him. "Are you gonna be able to sleep or an I just making your insomnia worse?" I smile softly at the caring boy. "I'll be fine." I assure him. I fall alseep shortly after and get the best night sleep I've had in a while. (5 1/2 hours)
