"You can switch partners with me, if you are uncomfortable."
On the way to school the next day, Shoto and Tomomi talked like usual. As they made their way to the entrance gates, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried about this project. The objective was to diminish new year pressure and build bonds but with someone like Bakugou Katsuki, could that really be achieved?
On top of that, he was extremely protective of his twin sister. Even though she was capable of taking care of herself and he would let her, he was still her brother first. Her older brother by 2 minutes. And the thought of her and a boy together, it didn't sit right with him.
But he didn't want to hover and he could see Tomomi is still learning a bit about how to socialize with others around her age. She couldn't always stay by his side. Tomomi was independent and Shoto couldn't help but admire that about her.
Tomomi moves a strand of red hair out of her eyes before answering. "Someone is worried." She joked lightly, flashing him a small and playful grin. To which, Shoto scoffed a bit. Giving her a soft nudge on her shoulder.
"I'm just being a brother, is all."
"And I appreciate it." Tomomi replied back, truly meaning it. She was grateful for Shoto.
"TODOROKI!" some yelled out as the twins made it to class. The two simultaneously turned their heads to the source, not sure of who they were taking to.
"There are two of us." Shoto reminded, crossing his arms. "To whom are you talking to?"
( I feel like that's going to be a thing in this book. Especially since they are twins. )
It was Kirishima, who happened to be Shoto's partner in the project. "To my partner, of course!" The happy red head said, walking I'm over to them. "Hey, Tomo-chan ~!"
"Good morning, Kirishima." She formally greeted with a small smile.
Kirishima chuckled. This girl was so polite and formal, it was actually very cute. Which is surprising because he wondered how was she going to deal with Bakugou's constant brash behavior. Especially to her. He remembered his ranting yesterday during lunch. What an interesting moment.
"I can't believe I was paired with that damn frost bite!" Bakugou grumbled, clearly not liking the arrangements. He had been mumbling about her the entire start of lunch and honestly, Kirishima lost count with how many times he has called her any insult that has anything to do with ice.
From 'Popsicle', 'Block of ice, to his personal favorite "Frost Bite".
"She's only going to slow me down," he said, crossing his arms and glaring at nothing. "I should've just switched partners with that stupid wannabe pikachu."
