(Alright, I'll go post a form for him later, but I am officially adding Shuichi because I love him)
Shuichi sighed softly as he entered the classroom to see Kokichi and Bakugo fighting. It seemed that the two had been at it for a little bit, but they stopped once Iida yelled at them, at least for a moment. He didn't want to deal with his classmates, so he eventually just sat in the back of the room and put his earbuds in. He could at least tune them out if they weren't fighting with each other. All he really hoped was that class wasn't constantly chaotic. He wouldn't be able to handle that.
It very quickly seemed like the dark-haired boy was far on the introverted side of things. He didn't say a word to any of his classmates once he entered, and he sat away from them, too. He almost seemed to be disinterested in socializing or even saying a few simple things to a classmate since he was so quick to tune them out, but if someone did approach him, he'd talk to them. He was just socially anxious and avoided socializing when he needed to start the conversations.
Until then, he was just sitting in the classroom, occasionally looking at the purple-haired boy fighting with the blonde. He didn't know why, but something about the boy intrigued him. He had never interacted with him, but he knew that he was chaotic. He also felt like there was something about the other, but he couldn't tell what. He was skilled at seeing through lies, as it was part of his quirk, but did that have something to do with Kokichi? He had no idea, but he wanted to know more about him.
Kokichi shot Bakugo across the classroom, smiling like an idiot
Mari was so uncomfortable, glancing at the teacher… who seemed to be asleep. what was going on here? this was NOT why she entered the entrance exam.
Shuichi watched as Kokichi shot Bakugo across the room. So, the purple-haired being of chaos seemed to be skilled at fighting as well. He was certainly intriguing to him, an interesting person right from the beginning. He wasn't sure what that could mean, but he felt like there was something to the other that didn't exist in most of the class. What was so special about him? Was it his quirk? Was it his personality? Was it both? He truly didn't know, but he was intrigued, and he wanted to know more.
Despite wanting to know more about Kokichi, he refused to approach him. Aside from the fact that he was fighting with Bakugo, there was also the fact that he didn't like starting conversations with other people. Unless the other wanted to talk to him or they were forced to interact, he likely wouldn't say a thing to him. He would stay to himself, watching as he wondered what was different about him in comparison to the rest of the class.
He noted that what he felt was similar to what he felt around those with mind-altering quirks, but it was also similar to what he felt around those who were habitual liars. Was the boy a combination of the two, someone with mind-altering abilities as well as a habit of lying? That could possibly be the case. It would explain why he got both feelings around the other, but he couldn't be for sure until he got to know him a bit.
Marieya ducked, avoiding the two fighting. Mari considered letting sleepstalker out, but thought better of it when she remembered when Sleepy cause three people to be hospitalized a year ago. she was in better control, but sleepstalker was also more powerful.
Kokichi eventually got a hold on Bakugo,using his quirk to make the man freeze " ha! Got you!"
Shuichi watched this moment with great interest, paying attention to the small details such as how the quirk was activated and the immediate result. Bakugo was frozen in place, it seemed, after Kokichi got a hold on him. It seemed that his quirk required physical touch to activate, although it was unclear what the quirk could do from there. Either way, with how it made the blonde suddenly freeze, there was the possibility that he did possess a mind-altering quirk after all.
"So, maybe I was right about the mind-altering quirk…" he mumbled to himself, seeming to take note of that. "Let's see where this goes."
After making the quick comment to himself, he went back to watching the interactions between Kokichi and Bakugo. What would happen next would confirm or deny his suspicions that Kokichi possessed some sort of a mind-altering quirk. If that was the case, it would explain why he felt an interest in the purple-haired boy. He would likely never speak with him unless he started the conversation, but he would always have an interest in him. He seemed to be a very interesting person, after all.
"walk" Kokichi said, watching as Bakugo walked to his seat
Bakugo's immediate compliance to Kokichi's command without any sort of an argument, which would have been expected from the blonde, proved that Kokichi possessed some form of mind-altering quirk. It had become obvious to Shuichi, and he noted that his suspicions about the purple-haired boy were correct. He did have the ability to control people, although it was noted that his quirk required physical touch to activate.
The dark-haired boy did nothing upon the realization, however, as he saw no reason why he should begin a conversation. He turned his attention back to his desk to avoid socialization. He had gotten the information that he needed to confirm his suspicions, and he saw no further reason to watch the interactions between his classmates. He would much prefer to be left alone than to draw attention to himself by watching the events intently. He had no intentions of appearing creepy, of course; he just wanted to confirm or deny his suspicions.
A sudden yelp as Kokichi went flying echoed, his body landing on Shuichi's desk "ouch,,,"
Shuichi hadn't expected Kokichi to suddenly be thrown into the air, but he certainly hadn't expected him to land on his desk. The sudden event caused him to flinch, but he quickly composed himself. It was strange how this happened only a few seconds after he looked away from him, and he had no clue what could have happened to cause this. However, that wasn't his main concern. It seemed like he would be the one to start a conversation in the end since he couldn't just ignore him when he had been thrown into a desk.
"Are you alright?" he asked softly, a hint of concern filling his tone. "That must have hurt…"
He sighed softly as his eyes met the other's for a moment. Then he quickly looked away since he hated trying to maintain eye contact. As long as the other realized that his concern was genuine and that he would prefer an honest answer, things would be fine. Of course, he would be able to tell if he was lying, but he would prefer some sort of an honest answer about everything. He knew that suddenly being thrown into a desk must have hurt.
"i- I'm fine" he said and sat up "come here often?' he joked
"i- I'm fine" he said and sat up "come here often?' he joked
Shuichi seemed to be more concerned than anything when Kokichi made his joking comment. How could that even apply to the current conversation? They were at school, and it was only their first day, so it didn't make too much sense, even as a joke. Then again, there was the possibility that he was taking things too seriously, like he had a tendency to do, but either way, everything seemed to prompt concern from him. The fact that Kokichi was stuttering only added to it.
"Are you sure that you're alright?" he asked, a bit more concern filling his tone. "You're stuttering a bit…"
While he tried to ignore the growing concern that he had, he couldn't do much about it. He would just have to hope that Kokichi decided to be honest with him at some point. He didn't think that the other was fine, but there was the possibility that he was simply overthinking things again. He truly didn't know, but either way, he was waiting for Kokichi to respond.
Kokichi rubbed his back "yeah I'm good," he said and shook off the pain
Shuichi eventually nodded in response to the statement. He didn't detect any form of a lie in it, so at least it seemed like Kokichi hadn't been injured despite what had happened to him. It seemed like things would end up being alright, at least for the time being. It also came as a relief that the other was okay, but he figured that the concern was only natural. However, he did notice that no one else seemed to pay much attention to him, which he considered strange. He had been thrown into a desk and no one cared? Strange.
"Well, that's good to hear…" he responded softly.
While he spoke to Kokichi, he had kept his tone quiet, almost a whisper, and he seemed to avoid making eye contact as much as he could. This awkwardness was a downside for him when he needed to use his quirk, since he needed to look at people for it to take effect, but he was trying to work on it. In general, he simply appeared to be a shy and reserved person who kept to himself unless he had to speak to someone, like in the case with Kokichi.
"you seem like a nice guy, wanna be my friend?" He asked holding out his hand
mari, just glad the fighting had stopped, watched in amazement as Kokichi did… that ^
Shuichi nodded in response and hesitantly took Kokichi's hand. Even if this was a manipulation tactic to use his quirk, it would have no effect on him, so he saw no reason not to. Besides, maybe the offer was genuine. Maybe he actually wanted to be friends. As unlikely of a possibility as it was considering how he had treated Bakugo, it was still a possibility.
"Um…sure…" he said as he took the other's hand. It was rather clear that he was a socially anxious person. "I, um, I wouldn't…well, mind that…"
"good! Cause I wasn't giving you a choice!" He said and smiled, it was oddly scary
Shuichi was definitely a bit creeped out by the comment and the following smile, but he figured that his comment could be referring to his quirk. If that was the case, then he really didn't have much to worry about since it wouldn't have an effect on him. Either way, he still intended on trying to be friends with him. It wasn't a good idea to make an enemy out of him.
"I-I, um…alright…" he responded, his anxiety only more obvious than it had been.
He sighed softly as he completely averted his gaze again. He had been looking in the other's general direction for most of the interaction, but now he was looking at the floor. Something about interacting with new people and being thrown into random social situations made him incredibly uncomfortable, but he would just have to deal with it. Hopefully he would learn how to become closer with Kokichi, enough that he didn't feel anxious trying to talk to him.
"your really handsome yah know that? " Kokichi said tilting his head and continuing to sit on Shuichi's desk,
Shuichi's eyes widened at the compliment as a blush began to cover his face and tint it red. The comment seemed to be genuine, despite what he would have believed. How could he just go and say that? They hadn't even introduced themselves to each other, and Kokichi was calling him handsome? That didn't make any sense. How could he be so bold?
"U-um…uh…I…well…" he attempted to say something, although he just ended up stammering and covering his now red face with his hat. "I…um…n-no…?"
He really didn't know what to say in response to that, and he was pretty embarrassed because of the comment, only causing him to shut down a bit. He had known Kokichi for two minutes, didn't even know his name, and was a blushing mess because of him. He was certainly right when he figured that the other was an interesting person, although this was still unexpected.
Kokichi laughed softly, "are you okay?"
Mari continued watching the two, amused. Soon enough though, the teacher stood up. "Out to the field."
Mari stood up, making sure she had her extra bottle of chlorophyll in her pocket still. she approached the frog girl on her way out.
Kokichi went to change into his suit, smiling like a goofball
"No suits today!" the teacher added. "We'll be testing your base strength"
