For the past week there has been this one specific song stuck in Shinso’s mind that no matter what he did he couldn’t get it out.
He already knew why his fathers had already explained it to him once or twice. It was the song your soulmate was singing or something he hadn’t bothered to listen to what his fathers were saying so he barely knew how it worked, it didn’t matter much to him since chances are it was just a annoying song that would go away eventually.
It wasn’t until a week later he had finally decided it was his alleged soulmate who kept randomly singing it at the most random moments. He had also discovered through others that the clearer the song is to you the closer your soulmate was, that didn’t help at all since it was plenty clear when he was in class since there was twenty students in there it could be connected to.
But he would say it was clearest when he was with the self proclaimed Baku-squad and maybe more specifically the annoying blond Kaminari. It was already annoying having to deal with the far too easily lovable blond during study sessions or training he could barely imagine being his soulmate, and yet here he was sitting in the main room when Kaminari came walking in singing a familiar song to himself quietly while doing whatever he was doing.
Shinso shot a glare in his direction trying to understand how fate could’ve fucked him up this bad pairing him with Kaminari. “Hey Shinso!” Somebody chirped near him and he looked up to see Kaminari leaning over the couch next to where he was sitting. “Have you found your soulmate yet? Mina says she’s ninety nine percent sure that Bakugo and Kirishima and soulmates.”
He smiled warmly and Shinso simply rolled his eyes with a small shake of his head. Kaminari oblivious to his annoyance simply flopped forward onto the couch surprisingly actually landing on it and not the floor. “I’m taking the edgy silence as a no you haven’t found your soulmate yet.”
He said as he sat up correctly a doofy grin on his face. “No I haven’t but I’m fairly sure I know who they are.” Shinso finally responded looking away from the blonde who eagerly leaned towards him. “Ooohh who is it? Is it meee because I’m so awesomeee~?”
He teased obviously joking but with a un-noticed twinge of hope that it actually might be him. Shinso made a noise between a scoff and a sigh and looked back at Kaminari a small smirk playing on his face.
“And what if it is?” He teased back flustering the blond who hadn’t expected the sudden switch up between annoyed and teasing. “I-I..uhhhh..” He stuttered completely failing to find any words to respond with it wasn’t until Shinso gave him a rare piece of affection ruffling his hair playfully.
“Hey! Don’t mess up my hair Mina just brushed it for me!” He pouted although a smile threatened to replace it. Shinso gave a small laugh and Kaminari felt his face warm up instantly at the sound.
“Well if you really want to know in Ashido’s words ‘I’m ninety nine percent it’s you’.” Shinso said quietly but just loud enough so Kaminari could hear what he said. “…wait…for real?”
He asked surprise lingering on his face as Shinso nodded. “Who else would be singing at way too late at night other than you?” “…okay fair point I do, do that.”
