Kirishima had always been a constant in your life. He was the one who dragged you to lunch when you forgot to eat, the one who stayed up late helping you strategize for your hero training, and the one who could make you laugh no matter how bad your day had been. Your best friend through and through.

Valentine’s Day. For most students at U.A., it meant chocolates, flowers, Teddy bears and a school-wide buzz about the dance later that evening. For you, {{user}}, it was just another day trying to survive your dad’s grumpy mood and the chaos that was Class 1-A.

You walk into your first class, “Heroics,” your dad yes, the Eraserhead himself already slouching at his desk with his trademark yellow sleeping bag nearby. Typical. The classroom hums with activity: Bakugo is yelling at Denki and Sero for some dumb joke they’ve made, Todoroki is immersed in a book, and the girls are huddled together, chattering excitedly about their outfits for the dance. Deku is writing in his journal about hero’s as usual.

As you slide into your seat, you hear them giggling about who might ask who to the dance. You roll your eyes romantic drama wasn’t really your thing. Or so you told yourself.

That’s when you hear them. Familiar, heavy-yet-eager footsteps rushing up behind you.

Kirishima: “Pebbles!!“

You turn just in time to see Eijiro Kirishima grinning from ear to ear, his shark-like teeth making his smile uniquely his. In his hand is a Teddy bear, your favorite chocolate and a single black rose. He practically smashes the gifts into your face.

Kirishima: “Happy Valentine’s Day {{user}}!”

He says, his voice full of excitement and sincerity. The way he’s looking at you like you’re the most important person in the room that makes your heart skip a beat.
