A/N: HOHOHO Merry Christmas @unbreakableeiji !!! tis I your secret santa. I want to let you know that I am going to be making this into a little series and it all is dedicated to you. Also thank you @gallickingun for helping me beta <3 and I hope you enjoy pt.1

When you had gotten the call a year ago to travel to America to help disband the notorious villain group quickly trying to take over the county it was a no brainer. It had been nothing less than thrilling, being able to use your quirk for more than you could have imagined. Growing up you never thought you’d be able to be out on the field amongst the pros but here you were, doing just that. Your quirk “Suggestion” had made the whole process of figuring out what the villains' plans were so much easier for everyone involved in the case. You had the ability to make anyone suggestable to your influence with just a single touch. It most came in handy when convincing them to tell you where secret hide outs were, plans that were in the works and anything else you could think of. But over your time there, you were working on developing your power to make it completely impossible for someone to not follow your suggestions.

While you wouldn’t have traded your time and experience in the States for anything, you knew you would eventually have to head back home. And,seeing as how the case you had been brought over to assist with in the first place had been solved, it was only a matter of time before you knew this journey would come to an end.

You turned over in your bed, the sound of your phone going off pulling you out of your deep slumber and into the world of the living. ‘Oh please just five more minutes,’ you thought to yourself as you roll over, reaching for the noisy device in an attempt to turn off your alarm before realizing that it was instead your current supervisor calling. You quickly tried making yourself seem more awake than you were and answered the call, bringing it to your ear as you answered.

“Hello? How can I help you, sir?”

You were a little confused, seeing as the last time the two of you had talked he had said that you’d have the next few days off in a mini ‘celebration’ for taking down the group.

“Ah Ms. L/N, I hope I didn’t wake you up. I just wanted to call and thank you once again for a job well done and for all the assistance you offered us. It truly has been greatly appreciated and will not be soon forgotten. I’m glad that they let you come over to help us regardless of your young age. I unfortunately must inform you that we no longer will be needing your help at the agency seeing as we have finally closed the case. My sincerest apologies and I hope you understand where I am coming from and that I mean this with no ill regard.”

You could feel your heart just slightly drop in your chest as you process what your now former boss was telling you. Your eyes glance around the apartment you had been staying in for the past year as it hit you that you would also not be able to stay here any more. You’d have to head back to Japan. As your thoughts start to wonder you are suddenly brought back at the sound of someone saying your name. You shake your head and remember the phone pressed to your ear and respond.

“I’m glad I could be of any assistance to you guys on the case. I’m definitely going to miss working over here with you, I had a lot of fun and definitely felt that I improved upon my quirk while I was here.”

As the phone call came to an end you both exchanged your thanks to each other again and said your goodbyes. You sat up in your bed and pulled out your laptop to see if you could find some place to stay when you got back home. You considered going back to your parents house but wanted to leave that as your absolute last resort. It was nice being out on your own now and you didn’t want to be *that* person who after finally being able to see the world had to go back under your parents roof.

So you decided to reach out to some of your friends from high school to see if any of them needed a roommate. After searching through your contacts you stumbled upon your old friend Mina’s number. ‘I mean it’s worth a shot’ you thought to yourself as you dial up her number. As the phone rings you contemplate hanging up, but before you could end the call a voice spoke from the other end.

“Oh hey there girl, what’s up? How are the States?” Mina greets you.

“Hey there, everything is going good. Well technically not. The case that I had been brought over here to help with has finally been solved, so they sorta don’t need me anymore.”

“Oh dang, I’m so sorry about that, that really sucks.”

“It’s alright, I actually sort of called to see if you needed a roommate by any chance, cause I’m staying in an apartment that was provided by the agency I was helping and seeing as they no longer need me to help with there interrogations I think I may be out of a place to stay.”

“So that means you’re coming back to Japan?! I wish you could stay here but I can’t add any more people to my lease.”

“Oh I see I’m sorry for bothering you I shouldn’t have…”

“WAIT!” Your babbling was interrupted by a seemingly enthusiastic scream. You pause waiting for her to continue, or for an explanation for the outburst. “I know someone who actually IS looking for a roommate.” You could practically hear the smirk through her voice.

“Why do I feel like there are alternative motives behind whatever you are about to suggest.”

“No never,” Her sly smile practically seeped through the phone. “Kirishima and Bakugou are currently looking for a new roommate seeing as Denki just moved out.”

Suddenly the dots started to connect as her plan was being laid out in front of you.

“Minaaaa…” Your fingers reach up to pinch the bridge of your nose as you anticipate the conversation you were about to have for the millionth time since the moment the two of you became friends.

“Oh come on Y/N.. why wont you believe me. I swear they have a thing for you. Kirishima would be such a good boyfriend, and Bakugou… well I’m sure you’d bring out the good in him.”

“That’s not very nice Mina, considering he’s your friend.”

“He’ll live, he still calls me Racoon Eyes, this is karma. He isn’t a bad guy, that’s not what I mean, he’s just special. He’s nice to you though.”

“Nice?!?!!? You call nearly knocking me out during training nice?”

“Ahhh key word, nearly.”

You both chuckle as you start to reminisce over the time you all spent together at UA. While you had only known them for those three years, going through blood, sweat and tears will really bring people together. That and also constantly being thrown into crisis after crisis. That really helps too. Mina brings you out of your trance when she speaks up again. “Well regardless, he’s not as mean to you. Plus you’d also have Kirishima there.” You could practically feel her eyebrows moving as you shake your head.

“I know what you’re implying and I’m going to stop you now and say there's no chance.”

“Oh come onnnnn. Fine, I’ll ignore the fact that you two are meant to be for 5 minutes, you should still hit him up about the apartment at least. Then you can just see where it goes from there who knows what it could lead to you know.”

“That was a short 5 minutes”

“I may have lied about the 5 minutes.

“No shit.” You couldn’t help but chuckle at your friend’s antics. “Okay well I guess I’ll text Kiri and see what he says. Who knows maybe they don’t even want another roommate, let alone some girl that they went to high school with.”

“Just text him before you reject yourself for them.”

“Fine, fine, I will. I’ll let you know how it goes. It was nice chatting and if all goes well, we can go get lunch when I get back.”

“When, not if. It will work. I can feel it in my gut.”

“Sure you can. Bye mina” You both say your goodbyes as you chuckle at how she hasn’t changed a bit since you left. You scroll through your phone after the call finally came to an end. As the contacts flew by, you felt yourself come to a pause as your finger hovered over his contact. ‘Come on, you can do it. Just..say hi’ You hesitantly press the text button as your fingers ghost over the keyboard, typing your greeting before you could process what was happening and stop yourself.

You: Hey there Kirishima, Long time to see haha, I know this is super out of the blue but I just need to ask you a question. No rush though.

As you start to analyze the text you had sent him and worry over the fact that he could probably tell how nervous you were, you got startled by the buzzing of your phone. Surprised to see that it wasn’t Mina bugging you to jump the men and date them, and instead it was actually Kirishima. You were shocked to see how fast he responded to your text considering the time difference.

Kirishima: Hey there Y/N, what’s up?? How’s everything going over in the mighty States?

You: So actually my time here in the States is slowly coming to an end..

K: Wait are you for real?

You: Yeah I’m actually looking for a place back home to stay.

K: You should come room with me! I mean me and Bakugou but you guys were friends so that wouldn’t be that big of a problem would it? Oh dude you definitely should, Denki actually just moved out so we were going to look for a new roommate. I hope this isn’t too forward…

Y: Not at all! I was actually going to ask if it’d be possible if I could room with you guys. I was just hoping it wouldn’t come off as creepy or weird seeing as we haven’t seen each other in well over a year and I didnt want to like impose or anything.

K: Oh don’t be crazy, we’d love to have you as a roommate.

Y: We? You sure about that

K: Haha don’t worry about Bakugou, I’m sure you’re a much better roomie then Denki is. I love that guy but I don’t think him and Bakugou get along when it comes to late night activities. As long as you don’t keep him up through the night everything should be good.

Y: I promise I won't. Are you serious about all of this?

K: Of course, why wouldn’t I be?

Y: Thank you so much, You don’t know how much I appreciate this.

K: Hey it’s no problem at all. I’m actually on my way to the gym to meet up with Bakugou now so let me inform him about everything and you just let me know when you're planning on coming back and leave the rest up to me alright?

Y: Are you sure?

K: Trust me. Can’t wait to see you :) I’ll hit you up later.

A sigh of relief passes your lips as the weight of all the stress that has been on you has been lifted away. You were genuinely surprised that he was so eager to suggest you becoming their roommate. Maybe this was a sign that things weren’t going to be so bad. After looking up tons of flights and figuring out the best options for your way back home, you finally settled on a ticket at a reasonable price and leave date and sent over the information to Kirishima, seeing as how when he had gotten back from the gym he had informed you that everything was “good to go” as far as Bakugou goes, which you somehow find hard to believe but decide to not look the gift horse in the mouth.

The next following days are full of you scurrying around the apartment you had been staying in for the past year, packing all of your belongings and frantically trying to get everything ready to be either shipped over or brought along on the plane ride over. This all seemed to happen so fast that you weren’t even really given a moment to think about how they might have changed since the last time you had seen them. How much had they changed? Have they even changed at all? What If they didn’t recognize you. You shake your head, stopping yourself before more troublesome thoughts plague your mind. As you secure the last box, you take a step back and glance around the now empty place you briefly called home. ‘Tomorrow is the day. I don’t know why I feel as nervous as I do. I’m sure it’ll all be fine’ As you place your final items into your carry-on bag, you head to your now empty room and as soon as your head makes contact with the pillow you were out for the night.

You hadn’t even realized you fell asleep until the sound of your alarm was pulling you out of your deep trance and back into reality. After you get yourself ready to head to the airport, you grab a hold of your luggage and take one final look around your room and say a mental goodbye before heading out. The cab ride there filled you with sentimental thoughts, but also with excitement for what lays ahead.

As you arrive at the airport things start moving smoothly and before you know it you could feel the bumpy landing of the plane. You make your way through the terminal and your head above the crowd, attempting to search for what you remember to be Kirishima. ‘I really should have looked up a current photo of him, I have no idea what he looks like right now.’ Was the only thought going through your head as your eyes pass over surrounding faces. That was until you spotted him.

Just past where the crowd was starting to branch off, stood a big man. Honestly big was an understatement. He had to be at least 6’4”. His broad chest and shoulders making the shirt he had on hug his new found muscles gorgeously. You try to stop yourself but you couldn’t help it as your eyes travel his body taking in the delicious sight. ‘I think those arms are as big as my thighs…. what does this boy, no, this man eat?’ Thoughts like these were just some of the few things that were racing through your mind as you take him in. You did not remember him being so… dreamy. God if Mina could hear your thoughts right now, she’d celebrate in triumph. You swallow the lump in your throat and make your way over toward him, only to have to deal with how handsome he was. His hair loosely tied back in a bun, and as you stare mesmerized by his face, he finally catches sight of you, noticeable by the smile now spread across his face. As you walk over to him you let out a gasp as you are quickly swept up into a big hug.

“It’s so good to see you! How was your flight, I bet you’re exhausted. Let’s get you back to the house. Bakugou is going to be excited to see you even though he probably won’t show it” as Kirishima rambled on in his excitement you start to realize that you are going to be living with this man for the next,.. who knows how long. If Kirishima looks like a freakin powerlifter, what on earth does Bakugou look like? A blush lightly dusts across your face.

The car ride to the apartment was full of fun banter between the two of you as you start to catch up on everything that's been going on in each other’s lives since the last time you had seen each other. After what seemed like hours of chatting you finally ask the question that had been prodding at the back of your mind since you had been reunited.

“So Kiri I have to ask, when did you go and get so built?! You look like a freakin powerlifter man. I almost didn’t recognize you at the airport.” Kiri chuckled at your statement and glanced over at you before looking back at the road and responding.

“Yeah I guess I do look a little different don’t I. I started heavy lifting after we got out of school. It goes along with my quirk real good and it makes training more interesting, that’s for sure. You think I look different, you should see Bakugou! Man looks like a cross fit athlete.” You try not to let your face show how flustered you were at the thought of being surrounded by two built men. Before your thoughts could travel south, Kiri’s voice interrupts them.

“But unfortunately, I think he’s out on a mission for the next few days. That gives you some time to get settled in at least before he challenges you to some sort of duel like he typically does.” You both share a light laugh together before you find yourselves pulling into the complex. Kirishima being the manly man he is, offered to take your stuff in for you, more like relentlessly offered until you had let him, but it was a sweet notion nonetheless. Walking into the apartment, butterflies fill your stomach as excitement floods over you at the thought of all the fun you were going to have finally being back home. But when you turn around to see Kirishima leaning against the door frame leading to the kitchen only one thought filled your head.

What am I getting myself into….
