Pop Rocks

The Boy in the Back

It was the first day of college and Kirishima was.. surprisingly excited. It would be the first time in a while that he would meet up with his friends again because over the summer he was focusing his time on preparation for the year ahead, his friends also doing the same. Also, a new year meant new friends! It was always nice to have friends and Kirishima was lucky enough to have some close to his side, but he thought it would be interesting if he could find another friend that could tag along.

Arriving at the campus, he saw his friends talking with each other and couldn't help but smile. He ran up to his friends and attacked them in a surprise group hug, laughing with joy. "Kirishima, what are you thinking? You could have knocked us all over with how much weight you threw at us!" Sero couldn't even sound upset as his signature smile was spread across his face, voice light and happy. "Yo dude, nice to see you again!" Kaminari exclaimed and pulled away from the group hug, doing a childish handshake he shared with the red head. Kirishima laughed and nodded, making sure to not leave Mina out in this reunion by waving at her happily. "Yes, nice to see you three again!" He cheered as the four walked inside the building, smiles never leaving their faces.

Kirishima got to his first class on time, and he was proud of himself for actually doing that for once. The class was called History of Art. Kirishima loves to draw and design, but history? No thanks! Even if it was about his favorite subject, he wasn't the biggest fan of history in general. He knew he had to get over this feeling though because this class would not go away easily. Sadly, it was required for the field of art he's going into.

Kirishima got himself situated and since he had a few minutes before class, he pulled out his sketch book and started to doodle. It wasn't really anything in particular, just random images that came to his head. One thing led to another and on his paper was a small shark on a unicycle. It was a decent sketch, but that was before he heard a loud noise that caused him to break his pencil, a dark line of graphite ruining his image that couldn't be erased. Looking at where the loud noise came from, he spots this badass-looking guy standing at the door, a snarl on his face to come off as intimidating. What a guy.

The stranger had ash blonde, short spikey hair which really suited him for some reason, a black and white flannel with a simple black t-shirt underneath. This all looked really nice, but the skinny jeans he was wearing really.. fit him well. The converse were a nice touch, but man!! This guy was really hot.

Kirishima watched the ash blonde walk to the back of the classroom and take a seat, giving off a strong aura of "leave me the fuck alone." The guy did look intimidating, but there was something about him that Kirishima was interested in. Well, besides his looks. He wanted to know why this strong, buff dude was into art.

After his first class ended, Kirishima quickly packed his things away to make sure he could catch the stranger in time. He saw the man walk out the door, but he sped up his pace and tapped the guy on the shoulder. "Hey! My name's Kirishima Eijirou and I wanted to introduce myself. What's your name?" He extended his hand, trying to give a nice first impression. He smiled, not even flinching when the man turned around with a scowl on his face. Now that the two were face to face, Kirishima could take in the small details that weren't visible from a distance. His beautiful eyes, his defined jaw line, his lips-

"None of your damn business, shitty hair." With that, the guy walked down the hallway, disappearing into the crowd of students. It was a pitiful first try to try and talk with the interesting fellow, but the outcome didn't stop him from wanting to try again. By the end of the first week, he was determined to at least get the guy's name...and possibly his number too. But only if he is lucky, that is.

All he knew was that this was going to be a very interesting first week of college.
