Kirishima Eijirou
○ Kirishima would sometimes notice that you were struggling to find words in Japanese to express yourself when you were talking to them since you didn’t want to use English around them in order to improve your Japanese skills
○ and he would take note of things that you weren’t too sure of how to say, and subtly drop them into conversations to help you learn without needing you to feel bad about asking anyone else for help
○ but to be honest, as much as he admires the effort that you put into learning their language, he absolutely loves it when you speak in English
○ when you’re called on in English class he gets a rare treat of hearing you speak, and there’s always that calm confidence in your voice that was simply enchanting to him
○ occasionally he comes by your room and asks you for English help, wanting to hear more of the way English words just slipped out of your mouth so smoothly as you explained the grammar that your teacher had gone through that day in class to him patiently
○ sometimes he can’t help but lose focus while listening to your soft voice go on and on, and he gets really embarrassed when you catch him drifting off because he worries that you might think he doesn’t care about his schoolwork and that’s not manly at all
○ he helps you out with your other subjects as well, trying his best to translate words that you didn’t really understand from your textbooks and homework
○ so you two eventually follow a routine where you have study sessions and do your homework together, helping each other with subjects you weren’t as confident in
○ one time he’s flipping through your notebook while you were in the bathroom looking for your English notes when a piece of paper falls out
○ he picks it up, and he scans the lines written on it with your distinctive handwriting, and he’s surprised when he sees his name along the lines
○ and he makes a mental note to ask you about it when you come back, slipping the paper back into the notebook and continuing to flip through and look for the notes he needed
○ “Hey Y/N, what does chivalrous mean?” the redhead asks curiously when you come back
○ “Well,” you muse, “it means someone is really manly in a way, I guess.”
○ “Oh? Does this mean you think I’m manly?”
○ “H-how’d you know? Don’t tell me you read-” you gasp, blushing in embarrassment at the thought of him reading your poem about him, “that’s so embarrassing.”
○ “Aww, don’t worry about it. I think it’s adorable.”
Kaminari
○ you would probably start talking to him more because he always tries to be hip and cool around you
○ even though you tell everyone that they can just talk to you as they would any other person in Japanese, the blonde insists on throwing in a couple of English slang words every other sentence to show off his “exceptional” English skills
○ and it never fails to make you laugh, especially since most of his “hip” words were pretty outdated and more often than not he used them in the wrong context
○ “C’mon Y/N, don’t you think my new glasses are hella swag?” he says, showing off his clout goggles to you as you laugh at him
○ “No one says that anymore, Kaminari, but yes, your glasses are very cool.”
○ since you’re the one who exposed his outdated slang in the first place, now you’ve got to restore his dignity
○ and so he’s always around you, bugging you to teach him all the “dopest” slang words to make him cool again
○ it always makes you cringe when he tries to sound cool, but nonetheless you still occasionally teach him a few slang words to help him out whenever he seemed down
○ you would never tell him, but you liked seeing the way his eyes would like up in excitement whenever you reluctantly taught him another word
○ it would never fail to make him perk up again, but you’d have to endure him using the word in every other sentence to try and impress you for at least a full week
○ “Y/N, you’re such a hottie. Come to my crib tonight, and we can have a fun time together,” he winks at you, making you laugh at his lame attempt to woo you
○ “God, you’re so lame, Sparky. I’m expecting candy and lots of cuddles tonight, mmkay?”
