//hi hi this was a collab with IcyHot-Shoto they wrote the first part of this chapter!!

Eijirou's POV
Katsuki Akiyama is Suki!? The guy that sits next to me in class? Isn't he the most popular guy at my new school?

What's even better is that my best friend became my first real life friend!

I'm so happy!

Normal POV

Katsuki was kinda confused why Ei would ask such a question.

King_Suki- Why did you need to know my last name?
RiotFanEi- My name is Eijirou Kurusu... That's why
King_Suki- You're kidding, right?
RiotFanEi- No.
King_Suki- I can't believe I didn't recognize you by your voice.
RiotFanEi- I kinda recognized your voice, but when I called you, I could hear you talking not just from my phone.

Katsuki was surprised, still confused, and kinda happy. These mixed feelings messed with his mind. He didn't know if he should go find Ei or go home. He decided to go find him.

Eijirou had the same idea. And just like moments before, they ran into each other again. Only this time, Eijirou fell on the floor.

Katsuki held out his hand to help him up. "So I guess you're Ei?" he questioned.

"Yeah! And I guess you're Suki then.." Eijirou replied. He had a big smile on his face.

Katsuki blushed, but it was a light pink and not very noticeable. That smile is a killer because of how pure it is.

KATSUKI POV
Kurusu was cute.. but not how I imagined Ei. Ei to me would've looked like a super enthusiastic guy. One that was annoying in a good way. Look-wise I imagined him taller than me at least. He definitely wasn't, but that was kind of endearing to me.

Hanta_Montana- Woah wat happened?
King_Suki- none of your damn business!
Denki117: Dod you and Ei meet?! No fair!! D:
RiotFanEi- you could say that
RiotFanEi- Uh yeah I met Akiyama..
King_Suki- DONT START CALLING ME BY MY LAST NAME NOW WEIRD HAIR
Denki117- Ah dont be so scary bro o:
Hanta_Montana- Is Ei's hair weird?
King_Suki- no I jus wanted to call him that for some reason..

NORMAL POV
Eijirou and Katsuki had decided to walk home together. Some random students were walking ahead of them. "So that Kurusu guy in our class- He's really unfriendly huh?" Some random student said. "Yeah like I actually heard he was really a girl or something or he dresses like one." The other student shook his head. "No way, where'd you hear that from?" "My girlfriend goes to another school and told me about the transfer student." Just then Katsuki stopped walking and glared at the other two students. The dark-haired teen was practically panicking.

"Yo Akiyama!" One of the guys nudged him. "What the fuck do you want? I'm busy.." he scowled. "Did ya hear about the new kid? He's like a girl or a cross dresser or something." Just then Katsuki could feel his blood boil. He used his quirk to blow up one of the guy's backpacks and punched the other guy in the face. "Shut the fuck up! I'm sick of all these shitty rumors! If you don't shut up I swear to god I'll make you!!" The ash blonde yelled as the two students ran off.

Kurusu was covering his face, with his knees and was and trying to hold his tears back. What they were saying wasn't all wrong, but he'd deny it till the end. "Ei..? You don't have to explain or anything.." the ash blonde said tempted to take his hand. "Suki..?" He looked up at the taller teen with tear filled eyes. "God damn it Ei.. this isn't how I want to see you.." Katsuki said kneeling down and pulling him into his embrace. Eijirou leaned in as if he was desperate for someone to comfort him. "Sorry- I'm kind of a jerk and maybe I scared you..." The dark haired teen just shook his head.. "You're not.. Thanks Katsuki.. for standing up for me."

The ash blonde smiled a little and pulled away to get a better look at Eijirou. "Don't thank me Ei, I was only keeping my promise." Akiyama pulled the shorter teen up and felt like he had known him forever somehow. It was almost nostalgic. There was no way they had met before this right? "As long as you're in my presence Ei, no one's gonna mess with you." Eijirou looked at him and nodded. "You don't hate me right? You're not going to tell Hanta and Denki I'm weird right?" He said looking up to the taller pleadingly almost.

"Of course not- I hate rumors and gossip for one. Second off you're my best friend Ei, you've been for as long as I've known you."

"So it's like I said.. I'm here for you."

//Yeet this was originally more dramatic and involved Katsuki bullying Eiji a little bit meh this worked better with my collab
