    Summary

    The prospect of a Graduation Gala forces Shoto to acknowledge his previously unexplored feelings for Kirishima. Awkward courting ensues.

    ...

    A flash of sharp teeth caught Shoto’s attention toward the front of the room: Kirishima sharing a wide grin with Kaminari, his face as alive and expressive as ever. Kirishima was almost always in Shoto’s line of sight when they were in class - he had been for all three of their years here - and Shoto was grateful for that. He tried not to let it show, but he took most of his social cues from Kirishima, who always seemed effortlessly at ease among their classmates. He was a deep wellspring of positivity, too, and it was something he shared indiscriminately. Kirishima turned everyone in his orbit into a better version of themselves. Whatever situation they found themselves in, Shoto could count on Kirishima to respond in the best of all possible ways- with bravery, compassion, or contagious optimism. So Shoto watched him, learned from him. He let himself be warmed by Kirishima’s light.

    He didn’t look away when Kirishima met his eye and arranged his features in another sunny smile.

    He smiled back.
