Kickstart My Heart: Kirishima x reader

Chapter 3

(A/n: I put a seating chart up there ^ so yeet)

Your first day of school was approaching at an alarming rate, meaning you had spent most of your time tree climbing and listening to Metallica (among other artists) while lifting weights in the garage. Not the most exciting, but it was better than sitting alone gnawing on plastic. Plus, Def Leppard was awesome.

Walking up to UA, you were once again reminded of how big it was. You glanced down at your schedule again. You honestly had no clue how you were going to find class 1-A in the massive building, but you ventured in anyway. Almost immediately, you ran into someone.

Heterochromatic eyes gazed coldly into your soft (e/c) ones. The boy had flat, two toned hair and an overall disinterested expression.

"Sorry!" You squeaked as he looked you over, staring for a moment at your long tail, which was coiled loosely around your leg to avoid tripping anyone. "Um, do you know where class 1-A is?"

"Follow me," He walked off, not caring to see if you were following.

"My name's (y/n) (l/n), what's yours?" You attempted to make conversation.

"Todoroki Shoto."

"Nice to meet you, Todoroki!" You stuck out a hand, which he ignored.

He stopped in front of a massive door labeled "1-A".

"Thanks!" You held the door open for him.

"Don't mention it, (l/n)." His tone made it clear that if you did mention it, he might kill you.

"Got it," You turned and faced the rest of your new class. The angry blonde was sitting with his feet up on his desk while a tall, blue-haired boy scolded him. There was a green-haired, freckled boy who looked as if he ate anxiety for breakfast, a boy with impossibly spiky red hair, a girl with pink skin and dark scleras, a guy with a bird head, a kid who looked like pikachu, and many other interesting individuals.

Naturally, you slid into the first available seat you spotted, which was between the spiky-haired guy and the anxiety boy. It only took a few seconds for the spiky boy to notice you.

"Hey! You're the girl from the practical exam! The one who destroyed the zero-point robot!" You recognized his crimson eyes immediately.

"Oh, hi! You're the boy I ran into in the courtyard. You changed your hair! Congratulations on making it into the hero course!"

"Same to you. I never caught your name..."

"Right! It's (y/n). (y/n) (l/n)."

"Nice to meet you, (l/n). My name's Ejiro Kirishima!"

"My pleasure, Kirishima. Oh, by the way, please call me (y/n). I'm American, and it just sounds kind of weird when people call me (l/n)," You held out a hand, which he shook eagerly.

"Sure thing! I think it's super cool that we're in the same class, I was kinda sad when I didn't see you again after the practical," He grinned, displaying his shark teeth. How was he so freaking cute?

"Thanks! I was disappointed too. Um, I wanted to ask, what exactly is your Quirk?"

"It's called Hardening. I can make my skin as hard as rock!" He showed off his ability, turning his arm hard and jagged.

"That's so cool!"

"Not as cool as yours!"

"Um, Sorry to interrupt, but what's your Quirk?" The boy on my other side asked nervously.

"It's called Dragon! It lets me turn into a really big dragon at will. Kind of self-explanatory, to be honest."

"Thanks," He scribbled in a small notebook. Weird...
