Growing up, it was easy for Katsuki to feel proud of himself to make people scared of him. He took pride in possessing his strong quirk, and his laugh would explode the same as his palms for  every time he saw Izuku’s tears. Praised from a young age, he’s always thought nothing was wrong with that. Power always conquered everything, and he was one of those who possessed it. 
And although he grew out of that, sometimes feeling stronger than everyone else still fed his ego well. He’d still smirk every time he watches the news again, the blurry video of him blasting off a villain’s face once again viral through the mouths of teenagers. He’d still laugh loud at every intern that groaned and huff at his heavy lifting training. 
His eyes met your head of hair one day at a coffee shop. Sweat, dust, and grime sticking to his suit with a scowl on his face. His nose felt dry from all the crumbs of sanded roads he’s inhaled. 
Here we go again. He thought. Another day at a coffee shop just trying to get some coarse bitterness on his tongue, to will himself to the ground after a tiring day of patrol, and he’s probably facing a nervous cashier. Sometimes they were ‘a huge fan, Mister Dynamight!’ Gushing and swooning at his simple request of latte, or they just looked like they were on the trial of their case, hands sweating and all. 
Katsuki let out a sigh as the line finally shortened to his turn to order. Lowering his collar, he cleared his throat with a roll of his eyes. 
“Welcome in, what can I get you today?” Your voice chirped happily. Not a single ‘um’ or a nervous laugh. Just that. A greeting. 
He smiles—just barely—before responding. “Just a latte,” then he hummed as he pondered over the menu, nailed up by the ceiling with dozens of drinks and snacks written upon it. “...And maybe a bacon n’ egg sandwich.” His hands already patting down his pockets for his wallet.
“Would you like the iced one, sir?” You said, eyes flickering between your fingers beeping the tablet and his looming figure. “Doesn’t cost that much more,” you coaxed cheekily. 
An amused scoff was his answer. “Fine,” he muttered, fingers flipping through the yens wedged inside his wallet. 
Way to start your first impression. 
He still recalls those days. Days when he’d purposely stop by the coffee shop after he figured out your shifts, when he started to wear that one perfume he usually only sprays on for  important meetings, or those days he became a nervous wreck again after he’d forgotten all about romance. 
Now you lay by his side, tucked away safely beneath his arm while you mumble softly about furniture you found at a website today and how they were ‘sooo cute!’ — Not that he was paying much attention, his eyes were too busy eyeing that ring that sat so pretty on your finger, glinting faint light every time your hand moved even the slightest. 
“Katsuki, you’re not listening.” Your voice giggled to his ear, gentle fingers pinching his cheek just enough to earn a heatless huff from him.
“Am too,” He gruffed out, clearing his throat while he looked away, willing the creeping peachy tint to go down from his face. His hand slowly pulled you closer again, landing his head on your shoulder. “I don’t like that couch.” Katsuki puffed, another arm snaking to your waist. 
“Whaatt? C’moon, it’s cute!” You argued with a whine, tilting your phone for him to look at the bright orange cushions better. “It’s so you too,” 
His mouth perked up to a disapproving scoff. “No, s’ too big for our house.”
You sighed in reluctance, scrolling again before you felt his fingers gently envelop your ring finger, toying with the ring that hugged it snugly.
A beat of silence followed, his breath quietly fanning by the side of your face, before he quietly quipped.
"This one's cuter."

snap! pose, baby!
ᯓ how would the mha boys post you on their instagram?
pairings : various! [ shoto, denki, katsuki, hanta, eijiro ] x reader
cw / notes : inspired by this very cute post by @runaarinn !
Tumblr media
Shoto is definitely one of those people who only reposts stuff on his instagram. It’s never his own posts, he’s just… reposting. And he doesn’t have a second account. He just has one singular account that follows your first and second account…so people just found out about the two of you because he reposted something that you’ve posted in your second account.
Posted you for your birthday once and doesn’t really do much after that..
I honestly think he does take pictures of you, cherishes them deeply and smiles at them at night before he sleeps, just never posts them, yk? He just send them to you saying things like
You look very radiant here. You should post this.
This is stereotypical… I know… sighhhh but Denki posts you or pictures of you both with those memes that make kissy faces. He picks the BEST songs to go with them as well. And I’m not saying some like… brain rot songs naaw, I’m talking about Mac DeMarco typa thangs, ooooo I imagine him posting a picture he took of you on his digital camera to ‘the world is ugly’ by MCR  
He’s unsurprisingly good at making instagram stories by the way!!!!! I stand by this!!! He’d make collages of your recent date with like cute little emojis (liiikkee uhhh imagine the pinching emoji on your cheek kinda thing) 
Definitely has a highlight dedicated to you titled ‘<3’
Katsuki is almost like Shoto. But he does take blurry pictures of your hands holding or something (because he doesn’t wanna get caught taking a picture by you). Oh and maybe candid pictures of you eating. The times he does post you looking at the camera was because you asked him to take a picture of you posing with something, and decided the pictures were indeed worth posting. 
OH he definitely has like two posts on his page, one just a random blurry picture of his gauntlets, one being you on your birthday. 
happy birthday :) 
was definitely the caption. 
Hanta is pretty active on social media, and posts a lot. Has highlights for each and every topic of his life like “school! – friends :] – foodz” you get what I mean. 
It’s pretty cute to think that before you two were dating he’d put you in the ‘friends :]��� highlight, then a new highlight popped up one day titled ‘amor’ and was filled with all the pictures he took of you. (definitely have posted you lots of times in his private-private account before that though)
Posts silly pictures of the two of you—cheeks squished together, tiktok trends he saved in his playlists, or even just videos of you laughing at him put on with a really cute marias or maybe kali uchis song. 
Also unrelated—but he does the hugging tshirt trend with you if you know what I mean.
Knowing Eijiro, I think he’s one of those boys who also likes to update his progress in the gym. With that being said, he’d ask you to take videos of him and would let that raw unedited video be posted with your giggles and laughs behind the camera while he posed for it and uuughh he’s so cheesy. He’d caption it something like;
biggest motivator btw lifting my weights to this melody <3
ALSO he probably kinda sucks at picking the fonts in instagram and sometimes posts you with the comic sans font...

ᯓ denki kaminari SMAU
pairings : denki k. x f!reader
cw / notes : fluff, honestly it's not rlly a SMAU but....... ANYWAYS i really enjoyed writing this eeehehehehehehe
2,2k word count!
Tumblr media
“There is no way. I’m not believin’ it.”
Hanta’s voice scoffed by the table, chewing his rice and chicken eggroll while he waved his hand to the air in disbelief. “You’re just naming names right now, Den.” 
The said blond pressed his lips together in an unamused pout, he huffed at the taller one’s comment. “No m’ not, maybe you’re just sad my standard’s sooo higher up than yours.” He stuck out his tongue.
That was met with laughter from Mina, choking on her faint orange colored yoghurt. 
“Clocked!” She barked out, shoving Hanta’s shoulder rather harshly. 
Hanta rolled his eyes with a grin, shoving Mina’s shoulder back with not much less of a force, his other hand busy cutting up his katsu strips that he always saved until the last bite. 
Eventually, Kyoka rolled back to the table after throwing away her trash, staring confused at the sudden loudness from the group. Not that it was new—no, never new. But it was always about something whenever the group got that loud that she could hear it from across the cafeteria. Her smile twitched amused, “What’s all this about?” She chuckled, slipping back into the seat.
“Den just told us who he was posting those instagram notes about,” Eijiro piped up, pointing his chopsticks at the grinning boy. 
“See if Kyo believes it, I bet a hundred thousand yen she wouldn’t!!” Hanta whined with a shout, standing up in his seat as he pointed accusingly at Denki. 
Katsuki sighed with a reluctant grin, his eyes fixed on his food while he shoved a spoonful of rice into his mouth. It had been almost two months. Two months since Denki started posting ridiculous stuff in his instagram notes, his second account’s stories sometimes filled with little glimpses of what he had bought. But they never seemed to be about himself. Not at the least.
kachowwerz : stop being so cute ahahaa (im gonna die) kachowwerz : how to gain rizz no glue no borax pls
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So of course it piqued the interest of the group. Hanta and Eijiro had repeatedly asked him about it, slinging their arms over his shoulder while they wiggle their eyebrows, naming the girls he’d shot his shots at before, yet to no avail, all the names were given a loud incorrect buzzer by Denki. 
Until today.
Intrigued, Kyoka leaned back, “Alright, shoot,” she smiled, folding her arms across her chest. 
Denki cornered his lips to hold back his smile. He leaned over, beckoning Kyoka to come closer to him so he wouldn’t have to shout through the cafeteria’s hustling and bustling. 
“It’s…” 
RIIINGG!
“Woo! Would you look at that!” Denki cheered, standing back up with a grin too wide to not be called pride. “Gotta go back to class!” His hands shoved into his pockets as he whistled innocently, walking away from the group with jolly steps.
ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁
Your steps rushed—echoing through the halls with all the students’ steps as you clutched your box tools in your already red hands. Present Mic’s assignment is due for the next class, and you had only finished printing the contents this morning. Despite rushing your lunch, you still ran out of time to put together your pictures and printed texts onto the bright blue infraboard you’ve been carrying since morning. With a huff, you adjusted the grip by your box. 
“Oh—hey l/n–!” A streak of blonde passed by your eyes. 
You paused your steps, reeling your legs back upon the greeting, only to be met by Denki—smiling a little too tightly, waving his hand again when you met his eyes. 
“Hi Kami,” You slipped a small smile, “I gotta go, b-bye bye! Sorry, I’m late!” 
Denki’s voice was heard behind you, shouting out a happy “O-..Okay!”
His teeth met lower lip quickly, brows stitching together to a disappointed frown as he let his waving hand drop with a slap! to his thigh with a sigh. 
“Okay? O-kay??” Denki muttered to himself, turning on his heel to head to his own class. “Idiot.”
ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁
So… 
Maybe cramming a week worth of an english book review and presentation project into one night wasn’t a good idea after all. Had you thought of that sooner, maybe Present Mic wouldn’t have to pull you aside after class to give you a guilty smile and tell you that your project will have to be redone seeing how messily it was put together. 
Now, your project is laid before you—again. Your already annotated copy of ‘Fahrenheit 451’ flipped open to the page you weren’t finished writing about, your half-assed writing smudged in between the lines of the pages. Crinkly circles of water scattered around the table’s surface and the book’s pages, some even on your own hands. 
You bit your lip hard, frustrated that you could have done better. You like english. You love how Mic teaches it. But the projects were just laying on top of each other this week, and you couldn’t even bring yourself to ask your friends for help because they were also busy, if not busier—at least that’s what you think. 
A sniffle, your hand dug its palm into your tear-welled eyes. 
Blur—your eyes wouldn’t focus, but you huffed, wiping your blazer’s sleeve to clear your eyes again as you continued writing, switching your head between the paper before you and your laptop. 
Looking up, you sucked in another sob—not tuning your ear to the shuffling outside your already-empty class. When you blinked back down, shadow loomed over you, the familiar jabs of messy hair shooting out by his head. 
“Kami..?” You sniffled, looking up from your lap. 
He stared at you with a frown, mouth opening and closing to say something, then he settled his bag onto the seat next to you. “Hey, hey,” his voice murmured, scurrying his stance closer to where you sat, he pulled a chair, placing it next to you.
“W-what’s wrong–? Why–..” 
Denki’s eyes darted around your table, cut out papers scattered around the floor around it, a glue stick still popped open, your fingers having small residues of it, then, he saw the book, recognizing the dialogue in the page.
“English..?” He grinned gently, nodding his head to your mess.
You gave him a nod. Pressing your hand to wipe your tears again while you fidget with your already loose tie. “...Mic said my presentation today was bad,” you muttered, eyes stinging again as you said the words.
“So I need to redo it.” 
He cornered his lip, glancing over to your writings before settling his eyes back to your face.
“I uh..”
“I picked the same book, y’know?” Denki nudged, reaching to his backpack to rustle through it, fishing out a crumpled copy of the exact same book. The same ‘Farenheit 451’ , crooked and folded at the corners from his rash handling of his bag. He held it up like a champ.
“I coouuld… help you out?” He smiled, leaning lower to meet your gaze that’s stubbornly fixed on your fidgeting hands.
Your hand wiped the bottom of your nose, eyes finally brave enough to look at his too.
“You’d do that..?” Said you, coming out more as a whimper. 
“‘Course I would.” He answered, more like a shrug. “I’m pretty sure you did better though,” Denki’s lighthearted voice arose again, placing the book on his lap.
“But it’s late,” You argued weakly, looking up at him through your watery lashes. “Don’t you usually play with your friends at this time..?” 
The boy shrugged, “Eh, there’s tomorrow for that.”
“‘Sides, you’re my friend too, l/n.” 
That bloomed a smile on your face, fishing out a sobful laugh from your lips as you finally looked at him fully. Dishevelled and all. “Thanks, Kami.” 
He looked at you for a moment, heart thrumming and his adam’s apple bobbing every now and then from his nervousness, his smile slightly sheepish in hopes you don’t notice all that. “C’mon, we’re gettin’ this done—t’day!”
ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁
The two of you stretched your arms up as the clock strikes a loud pang of 6:45 P.M.
Denki groaned loudly with his tied back hair, immediately snatching off his red headband as he flopped down to the floor.
“Finally!” He cheered, lifting his fists up into the air with a whoop.
You chuckled—loosely now, while your hands collected the paper cuts scattered throughout the floor around you, rubbing your fingers together every now and then, trying to be rid of the glue. 
“Thank you, Kami,” You mumbled, looking at his flopped form. “You didn’t have to.”
“No yeah, it’s fine,” He waved his hand off, a smile evident in his lazing voice. “I wanted to anyway.”
“Aannd!” Sitting up, Denki lifted his finger to the air. “I bet your class would be stoked to see this—this masterpiece,” He grinned, making a grand gesture to the board that laid before you, already decorated with writings and hand-drawn bits and pieces. 
“This gets a hundred, at least.” Denki’s brows furrowed in determination, “If not two hundred.”
A small bashful chuckle was your response, biting back your smile as you continued to flicker your gaze from collecting the trash to his proudly smiling face. “Thanks, Kami,”
“...Again,” you added. “Thanks again.”
“Oh come aawwnn,” He drawled, whining his tone slightly. “I think we’re past last name basis, l/n.” 
Silence fell between you two. One where you stared at him, lips parted slightly. Not because you hated the idea of calling his first name. You were just.. not used to being welcomed into that space. The formality of calling everyone—even your classmates—by their last name just stuck to you. Even after six months being a second year.
“Wait–sorry– I didn’t mean it like that! Swear! I just–!” Denki scrambled to his feet, waving his hands to your face as he rambled about how he didn’t mean to push you too far he was just—
“It’s fine, ...Denki,” 
“...Oh-!” He breathed, a singular laugh escaping his lips. “Right. Right. Yeah.” 
You let your chuckle out again, seeing his rigid shoulders and stiff legs as he turned around and hit his chest. “Denki, help me tidy up, please?” 
Denki turned around fast. A tight smile gracing his lips that reached way above his eyes. Holding up his thumbs, his voice cracked. “Yeah! Yeah–! I’ll.. I’ll do that.” He wiped his hands to his pants, bending to his knees again as he began collecting the papers sticking to the floor and to his shirt.
ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁
Fumbling your board on the right hand, his own backpack slung over his left shoulder, the two of you walked with loud rustlings. You carried your bags on one shoulder, both your hands busy carrying a box filled with scissors, glue sticks and whatnot. Every step echoed to the quiet halls of UA, accompanying your slightly ragged breaths. 
The cold air swept through your face the moment you both stepped out of the building’s walls, crickets singing loud into your ears as you stepped through the pavements toward the dorms. 
“C-Cold?” Denki cracked out, clearing his throat almost immediately. 
“No, no,” You shook your head with a smile, “M’ fine.” 
He nodded fervently, smiling to you while the two of you walked.
Shoulders brushing every now and then—breaths just a little bit too loud in your own ears, kinda walk. Silent, yes. Loud with your heart thumping against your chest while you watch the way your shoes fling up your shoelaces every step you make. 
“Why’d you uh–.. why’d you pick that book?” He started, coughing up again to look away. 
“Oh, well.. I kinda just–.. saw the movie first before I knew there was a book.” You admitted sheepishly, sighing out a laugh with a shrug. 
“There’s a movie?!” Denki’s laugh broke out. 
“Yes! Michael B. Jordan was in it!”
“Oh my God, I love that guy!” He shouted, grinning ear to ear as he cleared his hair from his face.
You giggled, hugging your box closer to your chest as the two of you died down your laughters, closing into the dorm buildings. 
“I have to watch it sometimes.” He noted, nudging you gently by the elbow.
A nod was your response, smiling at his enthusiasm as you adjusted your grip. “Yeah, let’s watch it together then,” 
Pausing your steps in front of your building, you turned to face him, face stretched to a smile that you couldn’t keep back in your own chest. “This is my stop,” You shrugged your shoulder to the building behind you, the faint sounds of conversations heard from inside. 
“Oh! Yeah, yeah,” Denki’s hands scrambled, “Here,” carefully, he gave the infraboard to your side, eyes not daring to look up from the ground to meet even your neck. He backed away, wiping his hands to his pants again with a grin, and you couldn’t stop your chuckle.
“Thanks again, Denki.” Your voice came out a breath, picking up your board with your fingers.
“Mhm, no worries, y/n.” His mouth stammered at your name.
Turning around, you climbed the steps to the doors, pushing it open before peeking your head to him again.
“Bye,”
Denki’s hand waved almost immediately, laughing at your smile. “Bye, y/n.”
“G-good–.. goodnight!” He stammered out, answered with your giggle and a wave of your own hand. “Goodnight, Den.”
Clack.

It’s been almost a week since Hanta started doing this… thing. 
First thing in the morning, he’d kiss your cheeks hard. Then spends at least three extra minutes in the bathroom, before coming out all grinning and whistling that telenovela soundtrack he loves. 
At first, you thought his mother probably sent him new clothes from his hometown. He always gets giddy for that, but nope, he hasn’t even worn anything new these past three days. Deciding to drop it, you settled it was probably him being happy from climbing the hero charts. 
That is until you were talking to him one evening, and that was when you spotted it. 
His hand—restless and looked like it wouldn’t stay still, always rubbing somewhere between his chin and under his nose. 
Oooohhhh, so that’s why. 
You snickered, the slight coarse textures of his stubble now obvious to your eyes. It wasn’t much, but hey, at least it was honest work. 
“Whaatt?” He grinned, as if he didn’t notice the way your eyes were on his chin.
“Nothing,” You brushed it off, waving your hand with a grin you couldn’t hold back. “Continue, continue.”
He cornered his lips, narrowing his eyes with a skeptical gaze, before he continued. “Well, I was saying, my gear broke mid swing! Like—literally!” His hand found its way back to his jaw, rubbing it again as he chattered away.
You blinked, stifling back a smile every time he smiled a bit wider when he touched his slight stubble, like a boy beyond proud of his newly crafted toy robot. 
With his third time of lifting his hand up from his lap to his jaw, your laughter barked out. He stared at you dumbfounded, “Whaaattt?” He whined, flopping his hands down to the couch. “You keep laughing at me!”
“You keep–” Giggling, you copied his motions. “Doing this! Every five seconds!” 
“No I don’t!!” He argued, cheeks a faint tint of peach. “It’s not that often,”
“Yes you do,” You scoffed, chuckling at his weak protest. “You look like you have a secret evil plan.” 
Hanta’s groan was muffled by a pillow, lifting up to his face as he sunk down the cushions. “So whaaat, I like it, okay?” He drawled, pulling down the pillow just enough for you to see his eyes only. “I’ve been trying to grow it, now it’s here, let me have my moment,”
You smiled, shuffling closer to his spot. Gently, you pried away the pillow, letting him show his reluctant pout to you. “I’m not teasing you because of it, silly.” Your hand found its way to his jaw, cradling his face to look at you properly. “I’m teasing you ‘cause you look like a kid who just got a piece of candy.” 
“I like it, swear.” You murmured, brushing your thumb over his slight stubble, coarse and a tad bit sharp. “You look nice with it,”
He chewed on his bottom lip for a moment before letting his smile bloom to a grin, popping back up onto the couch to sit up straight again. 
“Okay, well as I was saying–”

country boy!eijiro headcanons
in honor of summer, have a small snippet of what is supposed to be a full fic (if I have the time to finish it...)
➤ masterlist!
Tumblr media
your parents are college friends that are now on different paths in life, but still connect with each other occasionally.
the two of you met once at a wedding the both of your families attended, and played together at the age of ten years old, but that was about all of it.
country boy!eijiro who was a nervous wreck when he heard you’ll be visiting here for the summer after ten long years of not seeing each other. 
country boy!eijiro who was starstruck when he saw you from how much you’ve grown and bloomed so perfectly.
country boy!eijiro who shows you around the farm, fields, touring you around with that charming southern accent of his, and splashes your shirt with mud after you both had warmed up over talking about cows.
country boy!eijiro who, after around five days or so of you staying there, became your best friend again—always asking you to go with him to do manual work, taking care of cattles, and so on.
country boy!eijiro who found out what your favorite flowers are in the fields and made you a small flower crown.
country boy!eijiro who takes you stargazing every night, telling you legends his grandfather had told him about every single one.
country boy!eijiro who so casually tells you about a star that was shining bright, saying that it was meant to shine for fated lovers.
country boy!eijiro who instantly backtracked when you asked who it shone for, saying "maybe my ma and pa, I dunno."
country boy!eijiro who instantly regretted his words the moment you said you'll sleep early that night, leaving him alone at the fields.
country boy!eijiro who whispered his confession to you under that very star, two weeks before you were leaving back to the city, and promised that the star will always shine for you both.
"it always did. I was just too scared to admit it. m' sorry, sweets."

Way beyond hills and mountains, a kingdom stood. Busy and bustling, lively with all chatters that sang along with the birds. Children running around with cheers in their voices, shouts of haggling prices along the markets, and even carriages galloping about the streets.
All amongst that, melodies of swords clanging to each other, Katsuki stood by a wooden dummy, his brows collecting sweat as he grunted with every swing of his sword.
⋆✴︎˚。⋆
Run. 
Run.
Run!!
Legs, don’t fail me now. 
Your breaths caught by your throat. The wound in your stomach screamed for you to stop but you can’t. You mustn’t, not when a hunter is still by your tail, relentless. Branches crushed beneath your feet, prickling your step as you ran and ran. They’re still there. You can still smell the smoke from their cigarettes, the metal embellishments from their shoes clinking behind you, running. Faster, faster!
Cheeks wet and sticky from your tears, your throat felt slimy from keeping all your sobs quiet. Every step seemed to only make your injury feel worse and worse. Gods, hear me now…
“C’mon, pretty fae!!” They guffawed, their voices seemed a bit further. “Those wings of yours can be a real fortune to us!”
Another step, another one, you must keep up. Or else they will.
⋆✴︎˚。⋆
Katsuki had a soft grumble on his face, the chatters of his fellow knights echoing behind him, blending into the forest’s hum of leaves. He huffed. 
This is a waste of my time. He thought. 
What good was hunting down illegal poachers in broad daylight anyway? Those poachers probably had memorized the knights’ schedules of patrolling in the woods. He’ll find nothing, nothing at all except for critters and—
Crack!
He paused. Crimson eyes narrowing in suspicion, then he shrugged.
A mouse, perhaps. 
The blonde knight’s armor rang softly as he walked again, his hand now perched lazily on the hilt of his sword as he glanced from side to side, scanning the forest. 
But now his breath echoed. With every breath he took, the forest seemed to say the same. The chatters of his lads now had died behind him, leaving only him and the fallen leaves on the forest floors. Katsuki paused once more, his scowl stood strong on his face, brows stitched together as his eyes darted to the left and to the right. 
Again. His breath echoed again. 
No.
Someone—or something—is here, too.
Then his eyes snapped awake. Just now he realized; the branches are torn, leaves dragged to one direction, maroon blood drops scattered all over the trees, dragged there, or even a small splatter. 
He slowed his breaths. Quieter. 
Then he heard it. Your breaths. 
Quick, panicked, pained. 
Small whimpers of pain registered in his ears as he slowly walked closer, his hand gripping his sword tight. 
With a swift motion, Katsuki’s legs stepped to the wounded creature’s side, his sword pulled up slightly as he eyed the figure that lay now on the ground.
Slowly, his face twisted to disgust. Almost as if reluctant, he spat. “Fae.” 
The one beneath his chin now panted helplessly. Your arm stretched out to him, silently begging him to spare your life, with eyes wide in terror, while your other hand clutched your wound, your dried blood trickling down your trembling fingers. 
“P-please, human, I—”
“Silence.” He spat, a hum of a sword slashed through the air as he pointed its eye to your chin. “Wicked creature.”
Your breath hitched, the faint buzz of headache already gnawing by the back of your head as you swallowed your spit. “I..I mean no harm…spare me, I beg of you,” you croaked, albeit barely. 
“Nonsense.” Said Katsuki, scoffing with a bitter smirk on his face. “Your kind brings nothing but trouble.” 
With a small sigh, you frowned at him, dropping your outstretched arm to your side as you shuffled yourself close to the tree, letting your back lean against it. Your breaths stayed heavy, and it continued to be heavier. Perhaps it’s from the running.
Or maybe you were dying. 
The arrow stayed persistent there, lunged into your stomach and every little movement seemed to make the blade of its head slit deeper into your body. Your stomach feels hot from the blood rushing out, and your eyes are seeing twins of the human before you. 
So you drifted your gaze away from his piercing eyes. Letting the sun gently caress your skin as you looked at the rays of warmth that fell between the leaves.
“If that…”
“If that is what you believe,” Your voice came thin, cracked. “Then please…make it quick.”
But he faltered.
Of course Katsuki had nothing but hatred for enemies of the kingdom. After eight years of trudging through the muddy floors of the knights’ barracks, his brain had memorized that awful song those knights always sing, his blood had echoed the slogan of the kingdom knights. All his life was taught to protect and to act fast, 
to never show mercy to the enemies.
But most of all, Katsuki was never told to murder carelessly. 
A voice in his heart told him to just kill you. Slash your neck and it’ll be the right thing. He’s a knight. He’d be praised for successfully killing a fae. 
Yet he didn’t. His sword stayed still, perched by the end of your chin. 
Screw this. He thought.
So he lowered his sword, the metal sang as he sheathed it back. Katsuki grunted as he looked away with shame in his eyes. 
“You’re hurt.” He muttered, and you nodded. 
“Yes. Yes I am,” 
His eyes met your figure again.
“Are you…able to stand, or walk?” 
You shook your head slowly, stopping as your vision blurred again. “No,” your voice said quietly. “My head… it spins when I try to,” 
He huffed softly, then a groan escaped his lips as if he was asked to clean the horse stables. 
“To hell with this..” Hissed Katsuki with a scowl. 
His hand slowly slid under your knee, the other gently braced your back as he slowly rose to his feet, eyeing you down with those angry eyes. 
“The watchtower is not a far walk from here.” He grumbled to you, “I’ll tend to your wounds there. But you must stay quiet. Understood?” 
You froze for a moment—you have been since the moment he braced you up into his arms. It’s hard to say, should you be thankful? Should you be scared? He’s a human after all, must you trust him this easily? 
So you stared at him for a moment as he spoke, eyes wide with disbelief and confusion. 
But then a small flash of sympathy and… something else passed by his eyes. And at that you smiled.
“Thank you, human.” Your smile bloomed, though it quivers. 
“Just don’t make too much noise.” Katsuki’s steps slowly bounced you by his arms, “And it’s Katsuki. Not—human.”
The watchtower wasn’t far from the town—though still inside of the woods. It stood tall from the trees, with vines trying to catch up to it, reaching for the roof. The stone walls had grown green, some walls had holes to peek through. Katsuki placed you gently on the top floor, with fabrics lazily dropped to the floor for you to rest on. 
Water softly dripped from the roof, spider webs lined the wooden frames, dust gathering by it. 
“You’ll be safe here,” He said, hands already gripping a cloth tight to rip it. “As long as you don’t make a sound. Understand?” The cloth cried out as he tore it, carefully pressing it onto your wound. It earned a small whimper from you while you nodded. 
“Forgive me,” He whispered, wrapping the cloth around your wound to tie it tight. 
He looked at it for a moment before lifting his gaze back to your face, “If— and only if anyone does come here,” Katsuki raised his finger. “You scream. Loud as you can, make it sound like a witch… or something.” 
Your lips curled to a small chuckle, half-lidded eyes searching for light to see his figure. “A witch?” 
“Yes.” He deadpanned. “..And don’t go singin’ songs or—whatever you things do.” 
“What if… I need to search for food?” You tilted your head, “I’ll need to go out, no?” 
The knight’s lips stayed pursed as he furrowed his brows deeper. “I’ll bring you it.” 
A small giggle was what you replied with before you slipped a small “Alright.”
With a small huff, he stood up. His armor clinked softly as he walked to the stairs once more, before he turned around. “And don’t complain.” He added before vanishing down the stairs, leaving the watchtower’s empty space to stretch wide with quietness. 
⋆✴︎˚。⋆
This is strange. Unlikely. He’s not usually this way. 
Eijiro had seen it. The way his fellow knight had been looking into the shadows before he slipped a bread into his small satchel, how he’d slip out of the barracks in the dark of night, when he was always the one who insisted a strict schedule was important. 
At first, Eijiro had only guessed the blonde had finally found a woman who would tolerate all his scowls. 
But no.
Who—in their right mind—would go into the woods with the night not seeping any light but the moon’s? The villagers had always feared the woods, children taught to never go there once the sun had bid its goodbye.
And now—Katsuki.
A knight known for his sharp movements and eyes that darted faster than a train, is suddenly going there, at night? Alone?
“Something’s not addin’ up.” Eijiro muttered as he munched on his bread, his head fixed on the scowl-faced knight. 
“The rations always get smaller when ya slack off, Eij.” Denki snickered, nudging Hanta for approval, earning a small chuckle from the ravenette. The redhead clicked his tongue, “It ain’t that.” He hissed in annoyance, turning his head to face the two in front of him. “Katsuki— he ain’t actin’ right.” 
Denki waved his spoon to the air, drawing out his noise. “Man’s probably found himself a woman, Eij.” The knight smiled happily, gesturing to Katsuki. “Ah, young love..” He hummed, leaning himself to Hanta’s shoulder dramatically before he got pushed off with a mock whine from the taller one. 
“Den’s right, Red. He’s a fine one after all,” Hanta shrugged, sipping his last spoonful of soup, stuffing the bread into his mouth along with it. “Women had lined up for him even since we were still squires.” He added.
That’s not it. Eijiro thought. 
No, Katsuki’s all but silent about his love. He is all but suspicious. He’d seen him smitten. And this—this isn’t it.
Deciding it wasn’t something to drop, Eijiro now found himself cloaked, hiding by the kitchen wall as Katsuki seemed to slip something into his satchel—again. He slipped an apple inside, a bread, a single slice of pie, and even a small block of cheese he said he hated. With slow steps, Katsuki made his way out the barracks, clutching his satchel close to his hip while he made his way to the woods. 
Eijiro wasn’t proud of himself, no. But he just had to know.
What if his best mate was being used? What if he was in trouble?
So he followed him out, his steps—he memorized it, at every five steps, Katsuki’s figure paused his steps, watching his back to see if anyone followed him, and Eijiro slipped past into the shadows quickly to escape his gaze. 
A trail had even formed in the grass from Katsuki’s consistent steps and visits. He’d been taking the same route—over and over again.
Eijiro waited until Katsuki seemed to enter something before he followed him further into the woods. 
That’s when he saw it.
The watchtower. Tall, looming way beyond him, vines as if swinging their hands, telling him to go back. And Eijiro had to gulp back his frown, forcing himself to calm down. The watchtower children had cried back to their parents, saying they saw ghosts inside, the watchtower that’s been abandoned for years, now had a faint hue of candlelight by its window from Katsuki’s lantern. 
Thank the gods Katsuki’s hand didn’t pull the door far enough to close. Eijiro easily slipped inside, the leather bottoms of his shoes softly padded up the stairs, and his ears picked up small giggles of a woman, followed by Katsuki’s gentle—gentle voice replying something.
“Katsuki, you’ve brought too much.” You chided with a small chuckle, your finger carefully tore the bread apart. “Your friends might think you’ve grown greedy.”
Katsuki dismissed your statement with a scoff, “No, they do not know I come here.” He waved off.
As he peeked his head before the floor, Eijiro’s heart froze.
The faint glimmer of moonlight echoing from your wings, your ears reaching out further, your fanged smile.
A fae.
Katsuki Bakugou. 
Had been keeping a fae.
Eijiro didn’t think. His sword slashed to your chin in the blink of an eye, even before Katsuki could hear his breath. “You traitor!!” He roared, his sword still on your neck as he looked Katsuki's way. “You—Unchivalrous bastard!!!” 
“Eijiro put that down.” Katsuki commanded back, struggling to keep his voice leveled. 
“No!!” Eijiro scowled. “How could you?! After—after what they did!!” His voice cracked with betrayal, an edge of disbelief lacing his face as he edged the sword closer to your neck, making your breath hitch.
You didn’t move. Couldn’t. His blade was still too close. But your eyes stayed wide, pleading at Katsuki to do something—anything.
“Eijiro she means no harm–”
“Bullshit! Katsuki you know better than this!!” He gritted his teeth, one arm stretched out to keep Katsuki away from him, the other still keeping the blade by your neck.
“Wake up, Katsuki!! These–... things are evil creatures!! Wicked!!—how are you—!” 
“I found her helpless by the forest floor, Eijiro!! Dying!” Katsuki bit back, “I wasn’t leaving a life to die!”
The red one scoffed, barking a bitter laugh. “Well maybe you should have!!” 
“Get away, this instant!!” Katsuki shouted, shoving Eijiro’s chest harshly to the side as he rushed to you. His scowl immediately softened to a small worried look as he lifted your chin, scanning your neck of any injuries. The hands that would tear a sword through a fae’s stomach—now gently brushed his thumb over a small graze on where the sword had laid before. 
“Are you alright?” Gently, he asked, bringing your eyes to look at him once more. A faint nod was what you managed, your hands slowly gripped at his tunic. “Are you alright?” He repeated. 
“Yes, Katsuki.” Your voice came out as a breath, nodding once more.
Eijiro’s lips quirked up in a scoff, his grin bitter with unacceptance. “You’ve been charmed. That’s what you are, Katsuki.” He mocked, swinging his sword as he pointed to the blonde. “Soft. Weak!” Spat Eijiro. 
“I saw our own mentors killed by these things. Crops died because of em!” He continued, betrayal swam deep in his voice. “And now you choose to be protectin’ them?!” 
Katsuki—once stayed silent, tending to you—slowly rose to his feet. His brows stitched together, his already sharp crimson eyes shot deeper.
“You think I didn’t see them kill my mentor, Red?” His voice was low, not with anger—some sort of threat lingered in his tone. “I’ve killed her kind. Burned their wings, some even I cut down to sell.” He pointed to your way, eyes still fixed to Eijiro while his steps slowly neared Eijiro’s form.
The sword kissed Katsuki’s chest, that was when he stopped. “I’m not bein’ weak, Red.” 
“You weren’t there.” 
“You weren’t there when I saw her bloodied up from being hunted down.” 
His finger jabbed slowly to Eijiro’s chest. “You didn’t see her beg me to spare. Her. Life.”
Then he paused. A small breath.
“I’m a knight, Eijiro.” Katsuki pointed to himself, “A knight. Ya hear me? Not a killer.”
“When someone begs me to live, I’ll let them live.” 
“Screw chivalry if all it means to it is to kill.” Turning his heel back to face you, Katsuki settled back to your side.
Slowly, Eijiro’s sword found its way back into its sheath. He scoffed. This is ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous. 
…And yet he agrees.
“Fine.” Eijiro muttered reluctantly, “...Know that you are committing treason, Katsuki.” He threatened, earning a glare from the said knight.
“If being human is treason, so be it.” He said lowly, his hands busy wrapping a blanket over your shoulders, leaning to the side as he made sure not to damage your delicate wings. “Go then,”
“Go, if you wish to report.” Katsuki glanced at Eijiro, who still stood by the stairs, his hands still trembling upon the hilt of his sword. 
With a small shuffle, Eijiro huffed as he turned away, descending down to the spiraling stairs.
Your eyes followed the redhead’s descending figure before it flicked back to Katsuki, whose face still scrunched into a scoff as he tore a cloth to change the one wrapping your stomach.
“He’ll report you, Katsuki.” You warned him quietly, watching as he gently wiped down the blood lingering by your skin. “You must go back,” 
“No.” He denied, wrapping the cloth to your waist, “I don’t care. I’m not doin’ anything wrong.” 
“Yes you are!” You stopped his hands, your palm gently tilting his face up. “Katsuki, I ask of you to be wiser here, I am an enemy of this kingdom.” You pleaded. 
“Your oath—”
“I know my oath.” Katsuki tore his face away, continuing to tie the cloth tight to your healing wound. “My oath is to protect those who are weak.” 
“Not to kill those that did not do wrong.” 
A sigh flew past your lips in resignation, his hands finished his ministrations, wiping his hands to his pants as he sat back to take a look at you. 
“...You should have just let me die that day,” 
His eyes immediately found yours, sharp—angry.
“Quiet.” Katsuki growled. “Do not say things like that.” 
You looked at him like a mother looking at her mud-covered child. So persistent, so driven. Not even for a reward, he did this just because.
“...I am not your friend, Katsuki.” 
“S’not like I need any,” He bluntly said, standing up to his feet. 
“Rest. I’ll be back with food tomorrow.” He mumbled quietly, as he started descending to the stairs with a small shuffle to his steps.
“Katsuki..?” 
His steps paused, you earned a small grunt from him in response. 
“Thank you,” 
“...There’s nothing to thank for.”

warnings : a bit suggestive at the start, but tis all!
➤ masterlist!
Tumblr media
Tamaki had always been the pretty nervous one in your relationship. Hell, it was such a sight to see him all flustered on your first night after your wedding. He couldn’t stop apologizing and turning his head away, although his eyes did betray glances to you as you lay atop of him. 
And now here you were, sitting on the toilet, your hand trembled slightly as you clasped the other over your mouth.
Two lines.
So plain to the sight, obvious, plain. You are expecting.
Your lips slipped out a single chuckle of disbelief, and your hand found its way to your stomach, as if saying your silent hello to the one growing inside of you. 
The bathroom door burst open as you rushed out to Tamaki, who was busy fastening his cloak. He jolted upon your sudden loudness, “W-what’s wrong, angel?” He cautiously asked, walking over to you to study your expression that contrasted his concerned one. Your smile grew wider as you slowly lifted the small strip of pregnancy test to him, your finger pointing to the two lines displayed on it as you squealed. “I-I’m..” You giggled in giddiness, “Tama, I’m pregnant! I-I’m pregnant!!” 
Tamaki’s hand felt stiff so suddenly, dropping his cloak to the floor as he rushed closer to you, his hand hovering over the test as his eyes flickered upon it, as if studying it, figuring out if it was real or not. “H-how…? What…?” His voice was small, disbelief and a hint of smile laced upon it. He scoffed a laugh, before looking at you, as his smile grew wide. Gently, he grabbed you by the waist, and you could definitely feel his hands slightly tremble as he did. 
With a smile, he placed a small kiss on your forehead, “Thank you, angel.” He softly spoke. 
His hand moved to your chin to tilt it up just slightly, enough for him to look into your eyes, smiling so lovesick-ly. Then he kissed you again, this time on your nose as he pressed his forehead on yours. 
Ahem..! 
He pulled back slowly, now grasping you by the shoulders as his eyes turned somewhat serious, although a hint of pleading was in it as well. 
“This means… you should.. uh… stop drinking so much coffee, k-kay..?” Cracked and nervous was the voice that came out of him, and you could feel the slight tightening on his grasp. 
You chuckled, nodding as you rolled your eyes. “Yeeess, Tama. I promise,” 
⋆˚꩜。
A few months had passed, and Tamaki couldn’t help but squeak softly in fuzziness for every time he saw you on the couch, all round and soft from the pregnancy, and as much he felt kind of guilty for it, he just couldn’t help but take a picture, and would even adore it for moments, smiling softly to himself. But as he heard the soft groan from you as you got up from the couch, he immediately rushed to your side, softly pushing you back down.
“Where are you going?” He asked, brows furrowing as a warning. 
“The dishes–” 
“I’ll do them, r-right now.” Were the words he would say before rushing to the chore. It happens all the time.
Whatever chore it was, he would say those exact words. Dishes? On it. Cooking dinner? Already did it. Hell, as much as hates it, he even took out the trash for you, forcing a strained smile as he walked out the door to convince you he was more than happy to help you around (which he was). Because if it meant you would rest and not buzz around the house, he’d do it.  
At nights where your mood swings were the worst, he’d always be there, and maybe even cry along with you just because he was too sentimental seeing you cry. He’d be kneeled down in front of you, caressing your belly softly, kissing it while he hushed things to you like; “You’re so strong, stronger than me, angel.” or “Oh, y/n, you’re so beautiful, hm? So beautiful..”
I can't stress it enough that he's such a fuss before and after doctor appointments. The first time your baby kicked, he was whispering sweet things to your belly, saying how excited he is to meet the baby and how beautiful it must be, and- nudge!
“What– what was that!!” He cried out, pointing to your belly as he shot up from his kneel.
You simply chuckled, reaching to his hand to calm him down as you replied, “It’s just the baby kicking, Tama.”
“But– but–! It was so harsh! A-and…” 
“I-I think we should go to the doctor, Y/n, I’m kind of worried…” 
And he did end up taking you to the doctor after about ten minutes of back and forth of him begging you and you reassuring him it was normal that a baby kicks, and his replies were always; “I know it’s normal for babies to kick! B-but that one wasn’t!!” (his argument was that the baby had always been calm before this)
So after the doctor did say it was normal, then he’d calm down. Rubbing his hand over his chest like an old grandma. But after the doctor says that you might have to rest more seeing the baby’s growth, he immediately took that and ran with it. By ‘ran with it’ I mean he forbids you to even go shopping, and he ended up being the one doing all the grocery shopping. And if that wasn’t enough, the moment you two came back from the doctor that day, he called his agency to say that he had to take a break from his hero work.
His reasoning?
“M-my wife needs me,”
Goodness, he was acting like the pregnant one the whole time, and panicked the most at the smallest events. Don’t even get me started when you said you had cramps that time when you woke up in the morning. (He thought he had killed the baby accidentally by kicking it when he was sleeping)

The sea is vast. 
An immense home to mysteries yet to be unfolded. Depths of stories to be told, and songs to be sung. Yet other than that, the sea is brutal. Jaws ready to clench down on whoever shall puff up their chests and voyage upon it. Even more so, beyond all its mysteries and horrors, the great blue held beauties inside it.
One of them, was you. Your kind. Mermaids.
Folk of the water roaming the vast seven seas, keeping the ocean lively and chattering. Most of it was probably you. You could never seem to satisfy the itch in your tail to swim, swim, and swim—exploring every crook and cranny of the coral reefs, poking your head at every cave just to be chased out by a shark or an electric eel. Yet one goal in your mind was to collect; collect those trinkets which sometimes seem to descend from heaven above.
Sometimes a ring, sometimes a bigger ring, large enough to fit through your wrist, other times, it was smaller, weird-shaped, yet not less beautiful. Maybe this was the way gods provide you, yet you’re unsure. Just to be safe–and to admire them, you keep these findings safely in your small den of treasure. A sanctuary you had made for these glimmering and shimmering things to be praised upon. 
Humans are what your kind calls them. 
Those peculiar creatures on the land above, somehow surviving without water filling up their air. You wonder how it feels up there, is it… not water-y? It’s strange! Do they not want to move faster? Why do they have to move that way? 
Clumsy little creatures, you find yourself giggling at their silly movements. So slow, so adorable. Maybe you could teach them to swim. Sometimes you wonder—why do your elders always call them so…
Dangerous.
Your thoughts could never go peacefully—sometimes a fish would run into you to interrupt it, or sometimes a fellow mer-folk needed your help in harvesting the ripe seaweeds. 
This time, a small pebble had hit your head.
Plink!
☄. *. ⋆
“That–blige sucking buccaneer! I can ne’er catch a break!! What’re ya s’posed to do?! Throw away the whole ship?!” The boy grumbled, his eyes narrowed in frustration as his arms flailed forward to throw a small rock he had found.
“Why am I always at the blame?! He’s always speakin’ like he’s an old salt! We’re the same age, damnit!” He threw another rock, letting out a huff as his chin dug to his knees. 
Plunk! Thunk!
At first the red haired didn’t notice it, kept his mouth rambling about the ship’s captain which he found oh-so frustrating, until–
Plunk! 
“Ow—hey!!” His head darted to the back, yet finding no one.
“...What the..?” He muttered, softly now as if embarrassed for being angry at the air.
Then he continued, deciding to ignore the rock thrown to his head just now. His gaze met the water again, pouting as he picked up another rock.
“Can’t believe m’ stuck with em,”
He throws another one,
“if only a half decent job was here, I’d drag my ass out of this—!”
Then another one,
Plunk!
“Hey!!” Shooting up to his feet, he pointed to the ocean in anger. “Stop doin’ that, will ya?!”
But then a tail flicked up again, throwing back a pebble, this time hitting his chest. And now he was frozen in horror.
Eijiro was nothing but experienced. Three years of voyaging the sea, he’s seen almost all—fishes, birds, bird-fishes, but not this. 
The tail was different, a large fish would be one thing but this? It was no fish. Not with those pair of curious eyes eyeing him from below the surface, grinning like he was the funniest thing in the world.
Without a second to hesitate, his first choice was to shout–yell, ducking down and scurrying his fingers as he found another larger rock, throwing it to the creature in fear, hoping that it’ll go away.
“Demon! Blasted—sea witch!!” He flailed his arm, his knees grew weak as he crawled back, a hand dragging him away from the dock while his other hand kept desperately throwing rocks, even grabbing handfuls of sand to the ocean.
“Get away!! Away, I say!!”
☄. *. ⋆
Is this why they say they’re dangerous?
You giggled softly, raising yourself up the dock while your hands propped up as you peeked your head up, smiling to the human. Your claws gripped tight to the wood as you waved a hand to him, at least that’s how you see them greet each other.
Goodness, he was so loud! It’s so amusing to see him shout around like that—was he trying to say hello? Perhaps you should shout back? 
You opened your mouth, grinning as you shouted back, mimicking his sound. 
Yet the color from his face just seemed to drain completely.
He spoke again, his hands came together as he knelt down to the ground. He’s funny, you like him. Why was he frowning? As much as you know—when your sister was frowning it meant she was sad, distressed. Did you do that to him? Goodness, that’s not right…
So you dug back down, splashing into the water while your eyes already trained to the direction you knew too well, to your den—the shrine of where you kept all your treasures. Maybe if he sees something so shiny and beautiful, he shall smile again! Yes, yes, you shall pick for him a gift!
Your fingers scattered on each tip of your glistening objects, then your eyes found the perfect one—a small, yet long, and shining, sharp ends, it reminded you of his teeth. Peculiar human, his teeth looked like a shark’s! 
With a wide smile, you pridefully swam back with the treasure in your hands, surely he would love this, and cherish it! Your tail swished rapidly, until you found the same dock again, towering over the surface as you peaked your head out the water again, finding him curiously calling upon the water.
You reached out a hand, softly tapping on his shoulder.
☄. *. ⋆
“Gah–!!”
Eijiro threw himself back as the small yet sharp tap landed on his shoulder, his eyes darting from the creature’s face to her hand, still outstretched to him. Then it—she..?—smiled, grinning ear to ear as she lifted up a small fork, pointing to it while her eyes flickered from him to the fork.
“D-don’t eat me!! Please!!” He yelped, covering his face with his hands.
Then he heard a huff, some of that frustrated, disappointed huff as the creature placed down the fork, pointing to it with a small pout on her face, mumbling wordless noises as she pushed it to him, as if urging him to take it. 
His hands slowly lowered, gaze turning to that of curiosity. “...For…me..?” He pointed to himself, face twisted into confusion.
Then she whined, throwing her arms up as she nodded, her finger pointing to him.
“...A fork…?” He chuckled, amusement filling up his voice. “You gave me…a fork?”
Then she nodded, still furrowing her brows in determination. “Fork, fork!!” Her finger still jabbing to the metallic object on the wood. “Fork!”
His lips finally curved up to a smile, chuckling again as he picked up the fork, “For me?” He asked, pointing to himself.
“Mm! Me!” She insisted, pointing to him as she nodded fervently, her eyes beamed with hope. “Me, me!!”
Eijiro chuckled, “No, not like that,” softly shaking his head as he slowly took her hand, though hesitating. He guided her finger to his chest, “Me,” then to herself, “You.”
“...Woo..?” 
“No, silly, you,” He grinned, pointing to his mouth. “I’m Eijiro, you are…?”
“...Ah..?” She tilted her head, brows stitched back together in confusion. “E..row…?”
“Ei-ji-rou,” 
Her fingers flew to her lips, touching them as if trying to mimic his movement. “Ee..jirou..?”
“Yes!! Yer gettin’ it!” He beamed up, nodding as he laughed in pride. “What’s your name?”
“...Yoo.. Eejirou,”
“Me…?” 
“No, dummy,” Eijiro snickered, guiding her hand back to his chest. “Me, Eijiro. And you are…”
“Oh!”
She placed a finger on his chest “Eijiro,” then to herself, “Y/n!” Her grin was wider now, throwing her arms up in celebration as she twirled in the water, tail swishing up and down as she cheered.
“Eijiro! Y/n!!”
He chuckled softly, shifting himself to prop his arm up on his knee—his previous complainings forgotten so suddenly. Eijiro’s face bloomed a smile as he admired the silverware given by the strange creature, the surface reflecting back the orange hue of sunset. “Aye, Eijiro and y/n.” He hummed softly, drifting his gaze to the rejoicing new friend he had made.
☄. *. ⋆
The next evening there it was again, a fork. Bigger this time, seemed newer too. As the dock creaked softly under his steps, Eijiro chuckled while he bent down to pick up the fork, only to be met with a small splash to his face and the sound of a sweet giggle.
“Eijiro!” You called out, smiling at his shocked face twisting into a playful grin. “Fork! You!” You chimed up, a pride look sitting in your eyes as you swam closer. 
“Aye,” He snickered, lowering himself down to sit on the edge of the dock, letting his feet hang down to the water. “It’s big this time,” Lifting up the fork to the setting sun, he turned it slightly, admiring it. “Big, lassie. Big” He repeated, grinning to you.
“Big?” Tilting your head, you furrowed your brows. “Big.. fork?” 
“Yes,” He chuckled as he nodded. “Big fork, indeed.”
☄. *. ⋆
Waves brought many gifts upon the world, sometimes it was a small clump of corals, or sometimes bringing back what may have been lost. And so did you—you brought many gifts to Eijiro, a strange human whom you’ve made to smile. Nights you’ve spent with him by that same dock as he rambled on and you would nod as if you understood his words, yet you slowly did. You knew he was a pirate, whatever that was. He says he sails the seas, and that he likes to eat fish. You learned the word friend. That’s what he called you and other humans he knew.
One night, you returned again to the dock. Your heart thrummed with excitement with this gift. It’s the most-amazing-great-good one yet! A pearl cradled softly between your fingers as you clutched your hand tightly to your chest, pushing your tail a strong current to push you forward to that dock, where you could already see his feet hanging down to the water.
“Eijiro!” You piped up, beaming up from the water. “Gift, again! For you!!” Lifting the pearl up in the air, you swung it to his face as you shook it in front of him, which he chuckled softly in response. “What is that?” He asked, opening his palm for you.
“Uh…Ball!” You nodded, placing the delicate pearl to his grasp. “Shining ball!” 
He froze as he eyed the small imperfect sphere, the moonlight danced upon the surface like rainbows. He breathed out a small huff of admiration, “...What..?” 
“Oh no… Eijiro… don’t like..?”
“What?” He shot up, waving his hand around. “No, no! I like it, I love this, y/n”
“It’s a true beauty, lass. Thanks,” He smiled.
“Welcome,” You replied, propping yourself up the dock as you looked up at him. 
“Where’d ya learn that one?”
With a proud smile, you pointed to him again. “Eijiro!”
☄. *. ⋆
“Hail up the sails, Eijiro!!” Katsuki’s voice commanded gruffly, his hand busy with sharpening a small dagger to a stone.
“Aye!” He answered, rope already tight to his hands, the familiar dull pain of the small shreds of the material digging into his skin as he pulled the rope with a grunt. For a brief second as he pulled the rope, his eyes caught a glimpse of the dock, empty and no one there unlike the previous night. His gaze fell to the small pocket in his pants, tucked away inside was the small pearl he had received. His grip loosens.
“Eijiro!! Don’t ya try to run a rig!!” Katsuki scolded. 
“Aye, captain, apologies.” He mumbled, tightening his grip again.
☄. *. ⋆
The winds of the sea had never felt so familiar. As much as he said he hated being a pirate, he loved the sea. The seagulls whined by the air as the ship swerved through, the air slicing through the cracks of his fingers, thrumming by his ear as it blew by. The crew sang songs while they jumped around the deck, and he could only chuckle as he leaned against the wooden railings.
“Splice the mainbrace!” Denki chimed through, lifting up a glass of rum, its contents spilling over slightly as he did. “Eijiro, come join us!!”
“Now,” He smiled, “Careful, Den—don’t wanna be three sheets to the wind,” 
Splish! Splash!
At first he didn’t notice it—the splashing noise beneath the ship’s smooth swerves. 
Splish! Splash!
With the same smile he looked at Denki with, he flew his gaze to the water.
What in the…
Is that—... her tail…?
“Eijiro!!” Your sweet voice chimed.
His eyes widened, gripping the railings as he leaned down, trying to whisper-scream to you as best as he could, a finger over his lips. “Lass, ya can’t be out ‘ere!” He hissed, eyes darting back and forth from the crew to you. “Go away! Yer shark bait here!!” His hand waved away, pleading you to go and swim back.
“No, no!! I give you, a gift!” You smiled proudly, lifting up a small clam’s shell in your hand.
“I—that’s nice, y/n, but ya can’t be out here! Go!! Please!”
Then suddenly, Denki’s voice chimed behind him. “Woo!!” He laughed, slinging a drunken arm around the panicking boy. 
“Eijiro found treasure!! Sea maiden, hoo!”
The crew scurried to the railings, whooping as they spotted your confused form still lifting up the clam shell. Eijiro’s eyes silently pleaded for you to go away while you had the chance, yet it was too late—not when Katsuki’s heavy steps came behind him.
Katsuki’s laugh rang through the air as he whooped, “Bring her up!! She’s worth gold, she is!!” He guffawed, shaking Eijiro with pride. “Bird’s eye, you’ve got, Eijiro!!”
“Wait—no, she’s not–!!”
“Hanta! Net!! The heavy one, that be!!” He commanded, pointing to the boy smiling widely near the ship’s stairs.
“Aye, captain!!” Hanta answered eagerly, saluting as he ran off to the ship’s hold.
“y/n, go!! Now, lass!! Please!!”
You froze, your smile stiffening as you saw the concern etched on his face. Your hand slowly lowered your gift, and before you could speak up again, the cheer of the crew and the shadow of a net descended upon you.
SNATCH! 
What abomination was this? Every angle you looked at, there was no escape! 
Your hands desperately clawed, chewed on the ropes, yet they were as good as steel. 
Your tail hurts. Oh they hurt so badly, the metal scraps on the ropes sliced through your scales like small knives, to your shoulder, your back, everywhere. 
A cry out of pain rang through the air, cheered on by the crew as they slowly lifted up your helpless form, heaving from your helpless attempts.
“Stop! Please!!” Eijiro’s voice shot through the cheer, yet unheard of. Hands slowly descended you onto the deck, sneering smiles lowering down upon you, and your eyes found him in betrayal.
“...Eijiro..?” You whimpered.
And yet he stayed still.
He… stayed… still! 
Oh the irony. You’ve brought him many gifts, told him many tales, and shall this be how a friend treats the other? Your frown deepens as the crew slowly untangles you off the net. 
“Get her into a barrel! I want her alive when we sell her off!! We’re feastin’ tomorrow, lads!!” Katsuki cheered, hugging Eijiro by his shoulder while the boy stayed silent. “You lucky bastard!!” He guffawed, slapping him by his side. “Capture us more of these fortunes, huh?” 
Eijiro’s shoulder grew rigid. His jaw clenched as he watched the crew descend you into the ship’s hold.
☄. *. ⋆
That night the stars heard of the crew’s cheer and songs. Harmonica echoed through the air as drunken rejoicing rang to the skies. And yet, between Denki’s drunken dance upon the deck, Mina’s loud and ringing laugh, and Jirou’s cheerful harmonica plowing with songs, Eijiro sat by, throwing a small laugh at every joke, yet his eyes seemed distant from them all.
“What’re we doin’ tonight, lads?!” Hanta roared a smile, lifting up a chug of rum to the air as his foot landed on a barrel’s top.
“Feast!! We’re rich tonight!!” Mina cheered.
He’s had enough.
With a slap of his knees, Eijiro shot up to his feet, slyly making his way to the ship’s hold, where the sound of water from the ocean felt near, and the sound of your cries reached his ears.
Down by a corner there you sat, bare backed turned to him, your shoulders jolting at every sob and breath you let by. You had the clam in your clasp, thumb running over it gently as if mourning what’s lost. 
You were mourning, a friendship lost.
Perhaps this is why your elders say they were dangerous after all.
“y/n,” He croaked, the wood boards beneath his feet creaking as he stepped closer. “I—I didn’t mean for this to happen, lass. Truth, I tell ya,” His voice was quiet, careful. 
You stayed silent, breathing silently as you ran your thumb across the small dent of the clam shell again.
“I’m sorry, y/n… I—I told them not to—”
“You don’t help, Eijiro.” 
“...You stay, you let them.”
Eijiro’s mouth parted to speak, yet no words came by or even flashed through his mind.
“You’re not a friend, Eijiro.” You, with all your imperfect words, spat venom. “You’re enemy, danger.”
Then you finally turned to him, your eyes dry from your tears, face bruised and messed up from the haste of the crew. They held nothing that he wanted, not that glistening excitement, not that wide cheer he’s witnessed every time you learned a new word, not that shine of hope he always found in your eyes—nothing. 
Betrayal shot through your eyes like wind through his hair this morning. 
“I—I’ll fix this, y/n, please I–”
“No,” You muttered.
“Go away,”
“Enemy.” Your voice was hoarse, a reward from crying day to night, while your hand gripped tighter on the clam, before you slid it across the wood to his way.
“Gift, now go.”
☄. *. ⋆
The night had fallen quiet, snores now caressed the cold air as the drunken crew lay asleep by the deck. Rum spilled all over the ship, yet no one cared to mop. Eijiro’s eyes lay awake as he stared to the sky, heart drumming against his chest while his eyes kept flickering to the stairs that descended to the ship’s lower level. 
He’s sick of it. Sick of the feeling clawing at his chest like a beast. So he sat up, stumbling over crew members as he slowly made his way down, where you still sat there, the clam still sitting right where you had slid it across. 
“...I’m sorry,” He whispered, kneeling down as he gently picked up the shell. 
“I was not a good friend, lass.” 
“Bad.” You muttered back.
“Yes, bad friend.” He smiled, a hand slowly reaching out to turn your chin to face him. “C’mere, lemme see what those scallywags did to ya,” 
His fingers were warm across your beaten up skin, your eyes lingered to the ground before you reluctantly looked at him, a pout still present on your face. 
He winced, “Those dogs,”
“They did ya rough, hm?” His thumb brushed gently across a bruise, earning a small whimper from you. “Sorry,” He muttered back.
A small pause fell upon the two of you while you stared at his dimly lit face, and he stared at yours.
Then his fist clenched, his brows furrowed as he pressed his lips to a thin line.
“I’m carryin’ you out, lass.” 
Arose, he did. “I’m carryin’ you out.” He nodded, convincing himself as he lowered himself to you, a hand slipping beneath your tail while the other hoisted behind your shoulders. His touch was careful, cautious and fearful as if you were as fragile as a flower. 
Slowly, the ship creaked as he stepped through, your tail dripping water as he tiptoed his way between his sleeping mates. Eijiro’s jaw was clenched at every small noise he had made. Afraid that he’d woken up his crew, or worse—his captain.
Just a little more, a little further to the edge, then he sat you down by the railing.
“Go, lass.” He whispered, hands gently keeping you in place by your shoulders.
“I’ll meet ya again by the docks, savvy?” His voice was soft, gentle, assuring.
“But—”
“I’ll meet ya again, y/n I—”
With a yank, a hand pulled Eijiro’s collar from behind. “Now, lass.” He smiled, pushing you off the railings before you could even reply.
“No!!! You— you dog!!!” Katsuki roared, letting go of his collar as he stared into the water, at the tail now swishing further away from the ship. “You traitor!! We needed that money, Eijiro!!” 
With a frustrated grunt, Katsuki pushed himself off the railing, his breath heavy as he pointed a finger to Eijiro, “You— damn it!!!” Harshly, he yanked Eijiro by the collar again, forehead to forehead.
“Why the hell did you do that, huh!?” Katsuki seethed through his teeth, hot breath fanning to Eijiro’s neck, grabbing the collar tighter. With a snarl, he shook the boy. “Why?!”
“Ya did all that for what, lad? Huh?!”
“Just to please her pretty face and sweet words?! I swear—I’ll sink you down to the sharks, Eijiro.” 
Finally, he let up. Letting Eijiro down on his feet again as he let go of his collar. A spit landed on Eijiro’s shoe, followed by Katsuki’s gruff muttering, “I’ll flog you off in the mornin’, just you wait.”
A small silence fell before Eijiro spoke up, his tone dark yet brave. 
“I’ll flog you off harder.”
Katsuki paused in his steps. Then turned on his heel, a finger sharply pointing to him. “Don’t test me, Eijiro.”
“Oh, shiver me timbers!! Ya’ve done worse, Katsuki!!” Eijiro shouted, throwing his hands up in anger. 
“Eijirou,” He threatened, stepping closer. 
Then the red one stepped closer too, a scowl as deep as the ocean. 
Chest to chest. It used to be a form of celebration between the two, yet now, with scowls carved into the curves and crooks of their faces, it was war. 
Eijiro pressed closer. “I’ll test ya, Kats.”
“I’d rather be fish food than be a coward.” Sneer Eijiro, his mouth twitched up to a small smirk as he pushed Katsuki hard.
The blond huffed, wiping his thumb beneath his nose as he turned away. 
"I’ll punch yer face off. Pray that yer spine’s as strong as yer mouth.”
☄. *. ⋆
The sea hugged your skin again, caressing the small scars on your tail, your shoulders, your face—it kissed you like it always did.
Down beneath all the gurgles of the ocean, his voice echoed in your head—something you kind of understood.
“I’ll meet ya again by the docks, savvy?”
Your hands clasped around the clam again, its shell now warm from how much you’ve gripped it. Brows furrowing from confusion as you rose your head to the surface again, one last look of him, another voice was there.
It sounded like when you first met him—shouting. 
So you swam back, back to where you used to always see him, back to where you learned those words, back to where it all began; the docks.
☄. *. ⋆
The sun kissed his face like a bastard. The cuts on his cheek and his lips felt raw under the heat. His fists felt raw, hot from all the punches he’s thrown. The pain on his stomach didn’t go dull as well, it still pinched him by the side sharply. 
Katsuki didn’t look any better, nose bleeding with thick blood down to his lip, an eye half shut, swollen like a plum. 
Eijiro scoffed with pride, his breath heavy as he shook his hands, not turning his face away from the gaze of the crew. 
“If yer still gonna be yappin’ off my ear, I’ll flog you off again, red.” Katsuki spat, wiping his nose as he straightened up his back. 
He stood tall, flexing his shoulders off as he cracked his knuckles. “Still didn’t regret nothin’.” A smirk played on Eijiro’s lips as he said that, his teeth seeped red from his gums. 
“Idiot, that’s what ye are! Throwin’ off gold like it didn’t cost nothin’!!” Katsuki growled, jabbing his finger to Eijiro’s chest. 
“Gold don’t talk and cry, Kats!!” He roared back, shoving Katsuki’s chest harshly to the ground. “Ya can’t just kill off a soul like that!! We’re pirates, we ain’t killers!!”
“We’re pirates,” Katsuki echoed his words, quieter now. “We ain’t saints either, Eijiro.”
“Damn right we’re not,” Eijiro growled, stepping forward, he towered over him. “But there’s a line, Kats. There’s always been a line.”
The blond huffed, throwing his face away from Eijiro’s glare while his own eyes filled with something other than anger, something remorseful. He stood up, pushing past Eijiro, his steps heavy as he trudged through the wooden planks. “Whatever, set course for home.” 
The crew stayed silent, everyone still held their breaths from their captain and crew fist to fist since morning. 
“Oi!! Hear me or not?!” He growled past his shoulder.
“A-..Aye, capt!!”
☄. *. ⋆
It had been two long days where you clutched the clam shell close to your heart, and not swam far from the docks. You waited for the same set of feet to dangle by in the water, or the same spiky-haired shadow to loom over you as you swam to the surface, yet he did not show. 
“Frieeendd,” You drawled, groaning softly to the night air as you leaned your head to the dock’s soft wooden edges.
With a huff, you pushed yourself back into the water, splashing your tail softly to turn away from the water.
“Lass,” His hoarse voice called, tugging between a smile and a cough. While the sounds of his shoes dragged across the sand by his feet. 
“E-..Eijiro? Eijiro!!” You beamed, smiling widely as you flapped your tail onto the water.
You waved your hand to him, drumming the dock as you giggled. 
“Aye, the one n’ only,” He chuckled, broken and bruised. His legs stumbled as he slowly lowered himself down, groaning as his hand clutched to his stomach.
“You stayed, y/n.” He softly smiled. 
Nodding, you smiled at him as your hand lifted the clam shell up. “Eijiro say.. come back,” 
“So I wait,” 
“I wait for.. friend.”
His grin grew, a breath of laugh passed through his lips as he gazed at you with tenderness. “We’re still friends?”
“Mhm!” You nodded. 
“You, keep this,” You insisted, taking his hand to place the clam shell in it. 
His smile passed to his eyes, “Thank you, lassie.”
“I love it,” He softly hummed, thumb brushing across the shell gently like it’s a treasure.
“Eijiro like? I have… uh… more! Yes, I have more!” You turned yourself to dip into the water, only for his hand to softly grip your wrist.
“No, no,”
“Stay, let’s uh… let’s just.. talk, hm?”
Your soft giggle rang through the air as you nodded, leaning your head down to the dock again as you looked up at him. A hand reached out to his bruised face. “You… uh…”
“What is… uh… oh, hurt! Yes, you… you’re hurt,”
He chuckled, ever the slightest, his face inched closer to your hand. “Aye, I did. Just a scrap.”
“Scrap?”
“Mhm, just… small hurt,” He smiled, simplifying his words.
“Careful,” You mumbled, your finger still slowly tracing his bruise.
With a nod, he responded. “I will, lass. I was fightin’ for ya, y’know?”
“For my friend.”

The Sports Festival was the first time you saw him. That lopsided grin present as his name flashed on the screen. Your first thought was how funny he looked. Sure, he’s cute, but those elbows are such a characteristic. You couldn’t help but snicker a bit. Seeing him get absolutely devoured by a certain two-tone haired, yet that smile persisted, as if it’s a stubborn stain, refusing to be washed away. 
You remember that time, texting Kyoka about it.
[ 12:30 ] you : was that guy from your class lol [ 12:30 ] you : he’s kinda cute :P 
And maybe that was the trigger point. 
When Higari asked your class to create a gear design based off of a quirk, you didn’t sketch out a gear for yourself, or a pro-hero, no. Maybe it was just inspiration, or maybe just admiration; but you made a gear based off of him. The page is still stuck in your notebook until now, complete with little notes of each parts’ functions and whatnot. Even Higari himself nodded in approval. Yet the gear never came to life.
Or so you thought.
It was the middle of the semester when students in the heroics course started flooding the workshop. Around that time Mei seemed to work tirelessly day and night from how many requests she’s gotten from them. You were not much different, although the requests sent to you were quite a bit easier. Then one morning, that same lanky figure, lazing grin and laid back voice was present. In flesh, Hanta Sero. 
His first awkward greeting to you was when you were carefully screwing shut a small contraption. 
“Hey uh…” He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck while his other hand was holding something, like scraps of metal or something.
“C-can you help me uh… fix this?” His grin grew, a look of guilt present in his face, mixed with sheepishness. 
Your face contorted to confusion, brows stitched together while you attempted to figure out what was supposed to be fixed when all he held out was scraps of metals and screws. 
With a sigh, you lifted up your goggles, and said; “I can’t fix scraps,”
“I’ll just make you a new one. Just describe to me what your gear’s supposed to do.” You chuckled, hands already snaking to the table to grab your notebook and pen.
And now here you are. Second year, second semester. You had grown close with the girls in the heroics course, especially Mina and Kendo, since they visit the workshop a little bit too often.
It was lunch time, you sat with the girls from 2-A, chattering and laughing about.
“How about you, y/n?” Tooru’s voice chimed through your daze. “You never tell us anything!”
You raised your eyebrows in interest, a hum to respond. 
Tooru giggled, “You never tell us who you’ve got your eyes on! Come onn, there’s gotta be someone, right?”
You blinked. 
Someone..?
You huffed a chuckle, “Nah, probably someone soldering iron right now.” 
But then your mind flickered to that one page in your notebook. That lazy grin and those cheesy jokes he’d throw around while you measured his elbows, and how you’ve somehow memorized his blazer’s smell that always reeked of tangerines. Or maybe how he sometimes would bring your favorite snack with him, giving it to you as a token of gratitude.
Your eyes fell to your tray, your lunch still half eaten while your chopsticks hovered over your rice. “I dunno,” You shrugged. “M’ not really thinking of that stuff right now,” 
Mina whined, “See? I told you! It’s hard to get y/n’s mouth to open about these kinds of stuff!” 
A smirk tugged at your lips as you took a portion of rice into your mouth, chuckling at her acts. 
༉‧₊˚.
You hummed to the song playing in the workshop as you carefully placed a small chip into the gear laid in front of you. A small tweezer pinched in your hand as you slowly descended the small piece, only for the door to open with an ear-cracking holler.
“yyyyy/nnnnn” Hanta’s voice whined, his feet dragging him to your desk.
“My gear broke, again! Such horror…” He dramatically collapsed himself, placing a hand on his forehead as he handed out his wrecked gear.
You stifled back a laugh, rolling your eyes as you focused your attention on the gear on your desk again, carefully placing the chip.
“You do this every week like it’s a routine,” You chuckled.
He gasped, placing his hand on his chest. “Foul creature!” 
He stood up, pointing his finger to the sky while his lips twitched to a smile. “I must tell you, this gear is simply not able to contain my true power!” 
“Falling down the stairs is not true power, Han.” You grinned, screwing shut the gear as you examined it one last time.
“...Okay, fine I dropped it.” He huffed, “But it just means your work needs to be evaluated!” He argued, pacing back and forth as if lecturing you.
“You’re one to talk,” You snorted, setting aside the small gear to a box before turning your chair to face him, to face his stupidly grinning face.
He laughed, getting on his knees as he handed the gear on his palms to you like it’s an offering. “Pleaseeee, pleaseee, fix this, pleaasee?” 
With a roll of your eyes, you snatched the gear, placing it on your desk for the umpteenth time, your hands already readying the same screws, bolts, and everything the gear needed, already embedded into your memory like it’s your mother’s recipe. “I don’t even have to ask what’s broken anymore, Han, it’s that often.”
“Hey, it makes your job easier, riigghtt?” He nudged your shoulder. “Besides, it gives me an excuse to see you, don’t you miss me sometimes?” He asked, pulling a chair to sit.
You smiled, hands pausing on the gears casing as you were unscrewing it. 
“I guess,” You mumbled.
He chuckled, the sound coming out more like a shriek more than anything. 
“I gueeess” He imitated, you can even hear him sticking out his tongue at you. “Lying is bad y/n. Admit it. Your workshop feels dead without me,” 
“I like the quietness better, actually.”
He giggled, “Ouch, man, here I thought we were long lost siblings.” With a creak of the chair, he leaned to your desk, eyeing you from the side. “I’ll pay you back, ‘kay?”
“With what?” You chuckled, eyes fixed on the gear. 
“Banana milk,” He snickered, “And maybe if I’m feeling generous I’ll also buy you those steamed cakes you always eat since our first year.” 
“The fuck?” You snorted. “You remember that?”
He pssh’ed, “Duh?”
“You eat that shit like it’s a reward every time you’re done with like… five gears or something,”
Glancing sideways, you couldn’t stop the grin tugging at your lips. “You’re weird.”
“You love me,” He teased, pushing himself to stand up from the chair. “Those steam cakes are ass, you’re weird.” 
You mumbled a mock to him, sticking out your tongue as you reached out to grab a mold from the drawer. 
His steps receded as he laughed, hands buried in his pocket while he walked backwards towards the door.
“I’ll get the original flavour,” He yelled. “Byeeee,” 
Clack.
An hour and thirty minutes.
It took an hour and thirty minutes for you to finish that damned gear. To be exact, an hour and thirty minutes after you’ve finished the other gears before that. With a small groan, you stretched your arms above your head, your body’s slouch finally stretched out to fix your posture. 
07:30 P.M. — The clock blinked, red bold digital numbers as if reminding you to stop and close the workshop for the day. So you did. 
With a soft click, you locked the workshop’s doors, sighing softly to yourself while your other hand clutched your bag, keeping it on your shoulder. The floors of the building squeaked with the rubber soles of your shoes as you dragged your feet, echoing against the empty building.
Tucked away carefully in your bag was the reason. His gear, you even painted it in his signature colors; white, black, and yellow. Maybe that was the reason your clothes smelled like fresh paint all over, but you didn’t mind. You’d stuck a small note on it, written in your handwriting;
‘Don’t break this one >:(‘
The conversation from earlier rang in your mind again. Tooru’s sweet voice chiming that casual question, but somehow it bugs you a bit. “Come onn, there’s gotta be someone, right?”
Someone.
You chuckled softly to yourself as you mindlessly made your way to his class, no need to remind you again; his desk was third from the back, second from the right. 
With a small noise, you placed down the gears, securing it into his drawer before you silently made your way out of the dark, empty classroom, then making your way to your dorm. 
༉‧₊˚.
“Jeez,” Hanta muttered in awe, carefully examining the gears now resting on top of his desk. His grin grew as he saw the note, an expression—that of amazed and amused. His thumb grazed carefully over it, as if afraid to smudge it. 
Even the colors were spot on, too, his colors. Small details you had implanted to the gear—maybe it was to ensure that he doesn’t break it again, or maybe it was just your way of evaluating your work. Either way, he finds himself grinning from ear to ear as he chuckles, looking at his newly fixed gear. You’d put an additional hole on the strap so he can adjust it more accordingly, the edges were smoothed out so that it sits comfortably on his arms.
“Shut up,” He laughed, the sound coming out more gentle—awestruck, adoring.
༉‧₊˚.
Knock knock knock! — The workshop door opened slightly, creaking as a shuffling sound made its way into the room. He’s right behind me, isn’t he.
“Moooorning,” He sang out, shaking the plastic bag in front of you. 
“Banana milk, and steamed cake. Just how my favorite mechanic likes it.” He placed the bag beside your arm, “Yooouu’re welcome,” Pride laced his voice.
God, all you can do is smile, as you slowly peeked your hand into the plastic bag, peeking inside with the exact things he said. “You know you don’t have to do this aaall the time, right?”
“I know,” He shrugged, rocking back and forth on his heels. “But I wanna,” 
“...You’re just bribing me,”
“I’m for reeaaaalll”
“...Thanks, Han.” You hummed, smiling softly as you reached into the bag, unwrapping the small steamed cake. The plastic rustled against your fingers as you tried to open it.
“You suck at opening shit,” He snickered, snatching the cake from you, ripping it open before handing it back to you. “Hm, eat,”
You blinked at him, feigning offense. “I was getting there.” You said, chuckling. 
“Sure you were,” he teased, plopping down onto the nearest stool like he owned the place. “At the speed of a dying turtle.” The noise he made next was ugly. Imitating a grandma talking. 
“Screw off,” You giggled, sticking your tongue out at him but took a bite anyway.
He watched you, arms crossed and chin propped on the edge of the worktable, eyes all full of mischief and… something else. Quieter. Warmer.
“You should smile like that more often,” he said out of the blue, his smirk faded into a small smile.
Your chewing paused. “…Like what?”
He leaned back with a stretch. “Like you actually like me.”
You shot him a look. “Han—”
“Kiddingg!” he grinned, holding his hands up in surrender. “Juusst kidding.”
After a small pause, he spoke up, “I gotta go now, my first class is heroics,” Hanta smiled, slapping his palms to his knees as he stood up. 
With his hands in his pockets he walked to the door. “Byyyee, don’t miss me,”
“Oh, and finish the cake, it was super expensive.”
It had been like that for a little over a year now. He’d come to you, whining about his broken gear, begging on his knees for you to fix it—and every time you did so, you threatened him to never break it again or you’re not fixing it ever again. But that never happened. Every time he whined back to you, you’d fix it, no matter how much you groaned about it, you still fixed it for him. And he’d come to you the next morning to bring your favorites; always the same banana milk and steamed cake. 
And honestly? It stuck to you. It became a small little routine for you, something you’d grown used to. But today—after yesterday’s little chat at lunch—it felt special, somehow. It felt like he saw you, like he…
…cares about you. 
But that was just a silly thought. 
You snorted. 
Hanta’s nice. That’s what he is, nice, friendly. Welcoming to everyone, and you were no exception. 
༉‧₊˚.
God, these projects show no mercy. And if you weren’t that much of a procrastinator, maybe these wouldn’t be stacked up into a bundle that you had to finish by tomorrow. A small grumble left your lips as you tweaked the final blueprint, scratching down the stiff paper before huffing a small celebration, rolling it up to tuck it behind your desk. 
The clock showed the time—06:30 P.M.
Ugh. You missed your show again. With a small sigh, you stepped towards the door, rummaging through your pocket to ready the keys and lock the door. 
Clack. The door closed, the lock clicking softly as you turned it to the right, jingling before you stuffed it back into your pocket. 
“Like you actually like me.” His joke echoed. 
His joke.
You brushed it off, even though a small smile tugged on your lips as you adjusted your bag over your shoulder, steps light towards the exit. 
Wait. Is that…?
Standing by the gates was that same lanky figure, tall and lilt, hair slicked from the rain while his laugh echoed through it. You almost smiled, almost laughed at his face. Almost. Before you saw her. A small girl standing next to him, smiling so sweetly at him while his blazer was draped over her, fitting and perfect. The same blazer he usually draped over your shoulder when the workshop felt too cold, and he felt too warm. The one that had a small twinge of oil stuck to its cuff. The one that smelled like tangerines.
He said something. Something that made her laugh. And he smiled at that. He smiled at her laugh.
Like he was proud of it. 
You felt your chest twist. Scrunched up and stretched. The rain wasn’t making anything better. The fact that you’re tired and pent up from today made everything worse. 
So you ran. 
You ran past them, bag over your head as you picked up your pace, your face was wet, and cold, not just from the rain. You hoped he didn’t see you, didn’t see that grimace you had on your face, didn’t see the way you bit your lip. But you hoped he did. Hoped he saw you. 
The streets were blurry by the rain, thunder clapping above your head as you ran to the dorms. And you slipped. Slipped just enough to make you drop to your knees and scraped your palms. You groaned in frustration, in hurt.
So all this time you were just his fixer upper? Cool.
༉‧₊˚.
Two weeks.
It took him two weeks to notice something was wrong. Sure, you still fixed his gear, although he didn’t break them this time. Said they were ‘too pretty’ to be broken, but even that didn’t earn your usual witty remark, you just smiled faintly to him. 
But he brushed it off. 
Maybe you were just tired, maybe his trick of ‘breaking’ his gear was starting to piss you off. Maybe he needed a new excuse to see you other than fixing his gear. 
Maybe you were growing tired of him. Naaaahhh. No way, jose. 
You like his company, you enjoy being around him. He sees that, he sees you. 
…But why were you pulling away? Did he say something? Okay maybe he did throw a small offensive joke. But you always laughed at that! So what was wrong? What was so wrong that you’re not even laughing at his jokes? His actions? Him?
Okay, fine. Whatever. Maybe you just needed some space. 
So he gave you that. 
But the moment he came into the workshop shaking your usual banana milk and steamed cake combo, and you rejected that? 
“I’m good, Han. Thanks.” You replied. Blunt, short, precise, to-the-motherfucking-point.
Oh he screwed up. He screwed something up. 
“Oh, uh..”
“Okay, I’ll uh… give this to Denks then, dude eats everything.” He chuckled awkwardly, the plastic rustling by his side.
“Mhm, okay.” 
Shiiiittt he’s so screwed. 
You didn’t even chuckle, and that’s how he knew.
༉‧₊˚.
“They hate me. They hate me so bad. I’m killing myself.” Hanta whined to his pillow, Kaminari perched by the edge of his bed.
“They didn’t even CHUCKLE at me, Den.” He groaned, his muffled voice cracking as he threw his arms up.
Kaminari sighed, arms folded as he glanced at the ravenette. “You’re being dramatic, Han.”
“No I’m not!” He protested, shooting up from his bed to sit up. “I’m not, okay? I just—I don’t know what I did, I just—...” He sighed, flopping back into his bed, groaning as he ran his hands over his face. “I don’t wanna lose them, Den..” He mumbled in a trembling voice.
“Then tell them that.” Kaminari shrugged, a chuckle on his lips as he scooted closer, patting Hanta’s thigh.
“...How?” He croaked back. “I don’t even know what I did wrong, dude I just…”
“Two weeks ago we were fine, I even made risky ass jokes to them and they laughed! And when I was lending that girl my blazer—”
Kaminari whistled. “Bingo.”
The bed shuffled as he sat up, head darting to Kaminari’s way while his mouth hung open. “Shit.”
“Go, Han.” 
༉‧₊˚.
The halls of UA had never felt so… suffocating. He’s been here before, like hours like these too. Just now he feels like he’s risking his life as he stares at the slightly cracked open door of the support course workshop. His steps felt heavy, like lead weights dragged through the ground, and his mouth felt dry, like water had never touched his tongue, and suddenly the plastic bag in his right hand felt too plastic-y. The faint tune of your favorite song was humming through the air, as well as the consistent whir of the sanding machine. 
As he slowly pushed the door open, the creak felt loud—too loud. Loud enough for you to dart your eyes to the door and paused your hand. His throat fell dry, drier than before.
“H-hey,” He grinned. It felt too wide, too stiff. But he didn’t care.
You held your gaze on him for a moment, brows furrowed, and he swore even when he couldn’t see your eyes through your goggles, he felt your stare pierce through him. 
The sanding machine came to life again, louder this time as you ducked your head back to the gear in your hand. “Hey,” you mumbled back, not bothering to look at him.
“I uh…”
“I wanted to talk to you,” He chuckled, stepping just a bit closer, his hand gripping the plastic bag tighter.
Perhaps his portion of response from you had run out. You stayed silent as you continued sanding the casing of the gear, stopping briefly to examine it. 
“...Y-you’re mad, at me, …I think,”
“And I uh…I just… I wanted to fix that, y/n.” He shifted his weight between his feet, chewing his bottom lip as you slowly paused the machine, setting it aside on your desk.
“Why?” You bluntly asked. Perching your elbow on your armrest as you lifted up your goggles. 
God, you’re such a sight to him. Even angry and frowning at him like this, you took his breath away, if not more.
“B-because—...”
“I care?” 
“I mean–! I care, I care, …I care… a lot,” He grinned again, nodding as if convincing himself before he cleared his throat, louder than necessary. “I care… I care about you, y/n.”
His gaze fell to the ground, pressing his lips into a thin line, he shut his eyes. “I…I made a mistake, okay? A-and… I hurt you, and I’m… real sorry, y/n.”
“...I don’t…wanna lose you,” He breathed that out, coming out barely above a whisper while his hand gripped the plastic bag tighter.
“Look–.. that one time, y-you saw me with that girl at the gate? S-she meant nothing, okay?”
“I just…wanted to be nice,” He muttered quietly, almost as if in shame. 
“You’re always nice, Han.” You blurted, finally opening up your voice. It felt cold, different from what he was so used to hearing. “You’re always nice to everyone, aren’t you?” Your voice shook.
“...You probably think this is stupid, I don’t care.” You spat, your voice held a small tinge of anger in it.
“You made me think that you… you liked me, and—” 
“Because I do.” 
The words hung there, waiting for your response as the air conditioner hummed through the air.
“I…I do like you, y/n.”
“A lot.” He whispered quietly, his arms swinging in nervousness as he chewed on his lip, suffocated by the silence you answered with. 
You stared at him. 
Not just because he was standing there, but his words rang to your ears. It was what you wanted to hear. That confession, that maybe he cared for you for a reason. And he did. He did care for you for a reason. 
“For a long time now, okay?”
“I—... I don’t even know when– I just–...”
He sighed. “I just… really like talking to you, I like how you understand my dumb jokes, and you even—...it’s dumb, but you flirt back when I do, okay? And that shit was hot… for me.”
He groaned, wiping his eyes with frustration in his movements, throwing his head back as he stammered; “I’m screwing this shit up– I’m..” 
“y/n I’m just… sorry,” He said, finally looking at you. Hints of tears threatening to fall down his cheeks while he stared at you with desperation written all over his face.
“Please don’t… don’t leave,” 
And you wanted to cry, and laugh, at the same time. Cry because you’ve never seen him like this, because did he really just lay his heart bare to you? Laugh because God he looks ridiculous right now. So desperate, so sad, if this was a less serious moment, maybe you’d pull out your phone and record him. 
So you smiled, “I like you too,”
“H–..What..?” He croaked back, his voice unsteady as he looked up at you again.
“I like you, Hanta, I like you, back.”
He breathed out a laugh, finally smiling after what felt like his face was stretched down to the earth for the past few minutes, he grinned, running his hand through his hair. “You– what?” 
Ahem. “Okay wait, pause—” 
“C-can I–..?” A hand reached out to you hesitantly, sheepish and nervous, twitching slightly as if scared you’ll break if he touches you. 
Slowly, you reached back, enveloping your hands into his, letting him slowly pull you into his embrace. Warm, quiet, and… smells like tangerines. A small giggle escaped his lips as he brought his hand up to your hair, carefully caressing it. “Shit, I’m so— happy right now,”
His heartbeat was fast, shinkansen speed-kinda-fast, you heard it as you slowly buried your face to his shoulder, your arms awkwardly wrapping around his waist, and you couldn’t help but smile widely, nuzzling yourself into him. 
“I thought I messed this up, I swear— like, real bad, y’know?” He murmured into your hair, a hand gently resting over the line between your hip and waist. “I thought I lost you,” 
With a swift motion, he took off his blazer, carefully resting it on your shoulders, as he wrapped his arms around you again.
“S’ yours now,”
“...What?”
“My blazer—...your blazer.”
You giggled, lightly pinching his shoulder. “Shut up,”
“Hey come on!” He chuckled, “I’ll even trademark it for ya,”
You grinned against his shoulder, arms wrapping just a bit tighter around him.
“C’mon, I know you looovee me that much, but I know you’re also hungry,” His hand nudged your arm with the plastic bag, “I brought my favorite mechanic’s favorites,” He hummed out.
“Steamed cake and banana milk.”
He grinned. “Just how you like it,” 
And in the warm, quiet thrum of the workshop, under buzzing lights and the soft scent of sawdust and tangerines, it finally felt right.

Papers rustle by the glass top of the table, along with the sound of typing on the keyboard. Tenya sighed, clattering his glasses onto the table top, he pinched the bridge of his nose. The documents didn’t seem to end, his stomach was rumbling, churning, and his head was spinning. 
“Goodness..” He complained silently, propping his head upon his hand as his hand ran through his hair. 
The silence of the small office was broken briefly by the glass door opening, then closing again. Your form stood there in a bit of awkwardness, sensing the boss’s not-so-pleasant mood. Clutching the clipboard, you cleared your throat softly. 
“Mister Iida, I-It is lunch time already, would you… like for me to order your lunch from the restaurant on the ground floor?” You carefully asked, keeping your tone hushed.
He sighed, nodding before he stood up while straightening his clothes and his tie. “Please do, y/n. Thank you very much.” He replied, his voice husky and hoarse, while his hand perched his glasses back on to his nose. Tenya cleared his throat once more, and he stayed like that for a moment, while you nodded, turning your back to him as you reached for the door once more. 
But then you turned back around again, “Oh!” Your index finger plucking up to the air. “And, would you like your usual orange juice to go with it as well, mister Iida?” 
And finally, his stiffened cheeks frozen from the day’s work twitched up to a smile, a huff escaping his breath. “Yes please, y/n. Thank you very much.”
˚୨୧⋆.˚
The scent of broth and the steam of rice greeted Tenya’s lungs, warmth replacing the dull cold air from the air conditioner. He smiled faintly, tilting his body to the side from his computer, meeting your form teetering on your feet while you carefully ushered the tray in your hands to his table.
“Thank you so much, y/n. Right on time.” He sighed, clearing the space on his table for the tray to be placed down to. 
You smiled softly to him, chuckling softly as you carefully placed down his lunch in front of him. “Perhaps I know my boss too well.” 
That earned a small laugh from him as he picked up the spoon and fork from the side of the tray, the utensils clinking to each other as he unwrapped the napkin wrapping them. The faint smoke danced around the air, before slowly seeping into his nostrils again, and he could only sigh with a smile.
“Perhaps you do.” He replied, smiling warmly at you from above his glasses, which you only replied with a soft chuckle and a sway of your body.
You cleared your throat, pulling yourself back to the ground. “Is there anything I can help more, sir?” 
He shook his head, already dipping his spoon into the clear broth of the soup. “No, no,”
Then he paused. 
“How about you, y/n? Have you eaten?” His head looked up from his lunch, a finger adjusting his glasses again to see you clearly, his brows furrowed a bit in concern. Which you responded with a nod, “Mhm, already have, sir.” 
He nods, “Good, good.” 
“I’ll excuse myself then, sir?” You reassured again, bowing slightly to him.
Tenya grinned, nodding as his hand gestured for you to exit the room. “Yes, thank you again, y/n.”
˚୨୧⋆.˚
For goodness’ sake, can this project finish itself? Were the man’s thoughts as he typed furiously on the keyboard. It seemed like the proposals needed for the project seemed to be endless, and he couldn’t bring himself to ask any help from you. Though that was what his fingers are twitching to do right now. His thumb hovered over the phone button on your contact as he debated his choices.
On one hand, it’s already almost midnight, and you had gone home way long ago. He needs some help, and Tenya swears if he were to type another letter for another corporation to ask them to sponsor this massive charity project, he’s going to blow his office into shreds. On the other hand, it’s Friday. Which means you’re probably having some week-end routine, which he does not dare to interrupt. 
What if you were on a date? Goodness, it will be such impoliteness to disturb your night.
What if… you were trying to have some fun with your friends? Well he wouldn’t want to barge in now, won’t he?
What if you were already asleep?! Oh goodness that would be such a fuss..
Or– or…
“It’s just a call, Tenya.” He huffed, grumbling to himself while his thumb hesitantly pressed the button. 
It took a couple of beeps from the line to finally connect to yours, and a small shuffling sound was heard before your groggy voice hummed in confusion, answering the call. 
“M...Mister Iida?” Was what you managed to croak out, your voice nervous and hazy, a small sigh of sleepiness could be heard from your side of the line. 
Tenya scolded himself mentally, chewing on his lower lip in panic as he stammered a few vowels. “Oh goodness, y/n, I-..I’m… so very sorry…” He softly apologized, sighing in regret. “I didn't mean to wake you… j-just go back to sleep, y/n,”
“I’ll inform you about this in Monday..” 
Your voice could be heard mumbling from the other line, chewing your tongue to wake yourself up. “It’s fine, sir… is there anything you need help with…?”
He shook himself, standing up from his seat as if he were to chide you in person. “No, no.”
“Sleep is essential, y/n. I apologize for disturbing your slumber.”
There was silence for a moment in the call, only faint buzzing from the phone repeating upon his ears as he nervously waited for your answer.
“Mmkay sir, g’night…” 
And with that, the line hung up. So did his arm, hung to his side as he sighed to himself, hitting his forehead with his palm repeatedly in frustration. 
“Stupid, stupid, stupid..!” He grumbled, pinching the bridge of his nose. “It’s almost midnight, of course it’s bedtime!” He huffed, straightening his back, tugging down his shirt to straighten it once more as he sat back down to his seat, creaking it in the process.
He propped himself again, hovering his hands over his keyboard, and for a second–he stayed like that, somehow unsure of what to type to the proposal. 
Ahem. 
He propped himself up again, straightening his back, preparing to type. 
…but your voice kept echoing, taunting him from the back of his head. That soft, sleepy little goodnight replaying again and again in his ear, clear as day.
˚୨୧⋆.˚
You walked into the office as per usual the Monday, the few previous night’s little disturbance slipped way out of your mind. But one thing never did; checking in on your boss to inform him of his schedules today. Except… weird.
The disciplinarian Tenya Iida had never been late before, and even if he were ever late, it was late to his own clock. Yet today seemed to be the latter. Tenya Iida, the infamous early bird, your boss, is not to be found in his office. The glass door is still locked, waiting to be opened by his ID card. And so you walked to your cubicle again, placing down your tablet to the table as you rummaged your pocket of your phone, swiftly swiping to his chat room. 
Tumblr media
It took him a good five minutes before his typing animation popped by the side of the screen, three little dots jumping up and down before his message got sent;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Weird. You thought again. 
You had been working for this busy man for too long to know the man doesn’t even need alarms to be able to wake up to his schedule. Even if he did, hadn’t his body already memorized the time he has to get up? 
You shrugged it off, fingers already pressing the numbers to the restaurant to order your boss’s breakfast. 
Precise, as always. Ten minutes later, the familiar blue haired man walked into the office, his glasses sat slightly crooked upon the bridge of his nose as he scattered himself into his office. You chuckled at the sight, standing up to catch up to him in his office. With a small knock on the door, it unlocked from inside.
“Good morning, sir.” You greeted, pushing the door with your back as your hands both carried his breakfast; warm egg toast, and a glass of orange juice. “Have you eaten breakfast?”
Tenya stiffens. The sound of his rustling fabric stopping immediately as you greeted him. “M-morning, y/n,” He replied, his slight voice crack immediately covered with him clearing his throat. “I.. have not..” 
Ahem. “H..how’d you know…?”
You chuckled, setting down the meal to his table, before setting your hands to your sides, “I figured it’s hard to think of breakfast when you are running late, sir.” 
Then he grinned. Not the classic professional grin he had always worn, it was… sheepish, almost shy. Tenya’s voice rumbled lowly as he chuckled. “Thank you, y/n.”
With a smile, and a nod of acknowledgement, you excused yourself to take your tablet. As you walked back in, he was still tying his tie, swiftly folding it around his neck while you opened your tablet to swipe to the calendar app. 
Tenya’s back turns away from you as he comes to face you, giving a hum or two as you explained his schedules for today, while sometimes adding somethings in between like; “Oh, that one is cancelled.” or “I think that one is prolonged, y/n. I forgot to inform you.” And you’d nod, typing swiftly on the keyboard or tapping and swiping to edit the schedule for today. So with your morning routine finished, you excused yourself once more, exiting his office to return to your cubicle. 
And now, Tenya was alone in his office, once more. Your steady and intonated voice is gone, replaced by the constant humming from the air conditioner. He glanced at the breakfast you had left him. With awkwardness, he shuffled his way to the table, sitting down to carefully unwrap the sandwich—as if he was being watched. As he chewed, he scolded himself once more. 
How could he have been so out of discipline? He is the boss! And here he is, being late.
With a huff, he slapped himself on both cheeks. He chugged down the orange juice, setting the plate and the glass aside to switch the computer on. 
And then he remembered one thing. The one thing he tried to ask of you that night. He needed help typing those pesky proposals, his fingers already felt way too numb on the keyboard, and his head couldn’t even think of any more pleasing words for those sponsors. So he did, with many nerves, but he did. His fingers already remembered your cubicle phone’s number, and it beeped by with ease. Your voice answered almost immediately.
“Hello?”
“Y/n, uh… may I ask for some favor from you?” His tone cautious, almost as if he was concerned he had disturbed your peace. 
“Oh, Mister Iida. Of course, sir. What is it?”
He cleared his throat, swaying left and right on his spinning chair. “Could you please… help me in writing some proposals for the upcoming project, y/n…?” 
“Oh! Of course, sir. Would you need me to come to your office?”
Then he stayed silent. Glancing to the small couch by the side of his office as he contemplated the choice. “...Sure, that would be great, thank you y/n.” 
“I’ll be right with you, sir.”
And right with him you were. With a soft knock, the door unlocked from inside, allowing you to enter in once more. You clutched your laptop in your hand, carefully stepping into the quiet, isolated space. 
Tenya smiled, gesturing his hand to the couch. “Have a seat, y/n.”
“...I’m very sorry for asking your help on such a short notice,” 
You chuckled, waving your hand dismissively as you set down the laptop on the couch. “It’s alright, sir. It’s my job.”
With no further ado, he cleared his throat with a grin, explaining to you what he needed you to help with, as you propped up your laptop upon your lap, typing in his requirements and points needed to be included in each proposal. 
The two of you went on with silence as you both got to work. Broken only by the rhythmical tap of yours and his keyboard, and his occasional ahem’s. You would sometimes peek glances at him from the corner of your eyes, and as the day progressed, his tie loosened more and more. You couldn’t help but smile faintly at the sight. 
Him too, did so. Everytime you would unconsciously hum that one tune from a song, or mumble out the words you were typing in, he’d sneak a glance at you, smiling softly to himself before snapping his head back to the computer. Because God forbid you look this cute up close. Wait what?
By the last ‘thank you for taking the time to read this proposal’ you typed onto a document, the sky had gone dark, and so did the outside of his office. The clock shows 08:45 PM. You stretched your hands up, groaning softly as you cracked your head to the sides. With a stifled yawn, you swiped around your touchpad. 
“I’ll send the proposals to you, sir.” You informed him, your voice had lost its professionalism long ago, now you only had your hoarse and croaking speech to offer. 
Tenya’s head shot to the side to look at you. He sighed as he twitched up a grateful smile. “Thank you so much, y/n. I’m very sorry to be keeping you this late.”
Your lips pressed up to form a thin smile, as you slipped your laptop into its sleeve, standing up from the couch, a small dent left upon it from how long you sat there. “No need to apologize, mister Iida. I am only doing my job.” 
As you slung your bag over your shoulder, you bowed to him once more. “I’ll be excusing myself if you have nothing left for me to help you with, sir.” 
Tenya hesitated. He opened his mouth, then closed it. But then he opened it again, “Wait,” His voice croaked, his hand stiffly reaching out to yours before he stopped it, immediately pulling it to his side again. He cleared his throat, watching as you turned around again from the door. 
“L-let’s walk together to the exit, hm?”
Blink blink.
“Sure, mister Iida.” You smiled.
“Tenya,” He mumbled, walking to your side.
You tilted your head in confusion, “Hm?”
“Tenya, y/n. Just call me Tenya.” He softly repeated, smiling as he tapped his ID card to the reader beside the door, earning a small beep as the door unlocked for the both of you. 
He opened the door wide, nodding his head to the side to gesture you out. 
You smiled, clutching your laptop sleeve as you walked slowly past him, “Thank you,”
“...Tenya.” 
Goodness. A name should not have sounded that good on your lips, but the way you said his made his back stiff and his arms rigid. He couldn’t help but huff out a laugh, cracking out a grin as he closed the door behind him, walking beside you towards the elevator. 
Small silence fell upon the two of you, one that you had grown familiar with. Tenya wasn’t the type to make unnecessary small talk if it wasn’t needed for hospitality. You and him were strictly, professionally business. A boss and his secretary. At times like these, you would sometimes grab the opportunity to update him on his schedule for the day tomorrow. But tonight was different, that silence felt… different. 
The elevator dinged, and he once again allowed you to enter first. With a nudge to his glasses, he cleared his throat as he stood beside you, subtly shifting his weight from feet to feet after he pressed the elevator button. The faint hum of swing jazz and the aroma of air freshener made it almost dramatic for you to be this nervous. You wanted to open your voice to inform him of his upcoming reviewing deadline, but how the heck do you just call your boss by his first name?! 
“It’s alright to call me by my name, y/n.” He croaked out, his eyes lingering on the elevator buttons as he chewed slightly on his bottom lip. 
You stiffened. “Oh– um… well, …T-tenya,” And he smiled.
“I just wanted to inform you that you’ll have some new… recruits to review, sir.” 
He nodded, his soft smile still not leaving his face as his gaze lingered on you a moment longer, broken by the elevator door opening. His arm stretched out to hold the door, gesturing for you to walk out first, as he mumbled a small, “Alright, remind me that tomorrow, hm?”
You nodded, “I will, sir.”
Tenya’s steps fell soft upon the marble floors as he exited the elevator, and you bowed. 
… “I-I’ll excuse myself then, sir.”
“Tenya, y/n.” He tuts, gently reminding you. 
And you chuckled, almost shy. “Right, right.”
“I’ll excuse myself. …Goodnight,”
“...Tenya.” You softly added, turning on your heel to make your way to the front exit. Your shoes made haste.
All of a sudden, everything felt slightly crooked on his body. Tenya’s knuckle nudged his glasses up his nose, his hand tugged on his coat, combing back his hair, goodness that stupid smile that crept up his mouth from the moment you turned away even felt too wide now. 
He cleared his throat again, drifting his body’s direction to the parking lot, a hand over his mouth, and the night’s cold air had never felt so warm on his face. 
Stop it, stop it, stop that, Tenya!
This is your secretary you are smiling about! Your secretary!
His steps quickened to the parking lot, his loafers trudging about onto the concrete floors as he rushed to his car, beeping it twice before he entered it like a man trying to hide from his assassin. 
Hands gripped onto the steering wheel, and with a long sigh, he started the engine. The car chirped around as he turned the key, and his radio switched on automatically. Sure, he wasn’t the type to listen to songs that much, yet this one just crept up into his ears. An old love song with its classic guitar melodies, lounging on about love is unexpected.
˚୨୧⋆.˚
At last! All the months of preparation and lobbying guests around the building, typing out proposals after proposals, staying back at the office until a few extra hours, the project’s done. It was the day. A charity event, held to fund scholarships for students around Japan. To say it is a success would be an understatement. The event had made itself known to the news, being casted upon to multiple news stations. 
Safe to say, Tenya was beyond proud that his hardwork now paid off. He grinned widely. Upon his hand, perched up a small champagne glass, swirling around with his small motions. 
“You look dashing tonight, Tenya.” You called from behind, cutting through his thoughts.
He immediately spun around, eyes wide and scattering as it looked for you. When they did find you, he may or may not have forgotten how to breathe for a moment. If having you in blazers and loose collared shirts wasn’t enough to make him short circuit, this definitely does its job. The way you had done your hair so effortlessly, yet so enchantingly, and how the soft glimmers from the chandelier made your eyes sparkle, not to mention the formalwear you had chosen for tonight fit a little bit too good on your body. His smile came out strained.
“Ah, thank you.” ahem. “You look… incredible tonight, y/n.” He managed to reply. 
And then you chuckled, and goodness it sounded so melodic to his ears, breathless and light. 
Tenya’s hand pushed his champagne glass to his mouth, sipping the clear bubbling liquid into his mouth to distract himself from the rising rhythm of his heart beat. 
“You look super proud tonight.” You teased, a small smirk as you nudged him lightly by his arm. 
This time it was his turn to chuckle, pursing his lips into a smile. “I couldn’t have done… all of this without your help, y/n.” He said, motioning his hand to the lively ballroom.
Before you could even reply, Tenya was barged around by his friends, congratulating him on his accomplishment of successfully hosting the event. As his hand got dragged away by them, he casted one last look to you, pressing up a pitiful grin as a silent apology, which you replied with a chuckle and a wave of your hand. 
So now here you are. In a bar. In between these people you barely know. Sure, some of them were actually your friends, but they were too busy celebrating the success. Others? Eh, maybe you greet them in the hallways in the mornings and evenings, but that was all. They laughed and giggled drunkenly. Singing and dancing together with their blazers loose, while some of the women only chatted by the counter. 
By the edges of the laughing men, there Tenya sat, his tux already disheveled, his hair loosen down to his flushed face as he laughed about some joke that probably wasn’t that funny. Then his eyes spotted you, making him stumble a bit until he reached you, grinning from ear to ear.
“Goodness, y/n…” He slurred out, leaning against the counter. And you couldn’t help but laugh, seeing your usually strict and discipline boss now all loose and giggly. 
Then he leans. Perhaps a little too close to you. Yet you didn’t mind. You didn’t mind when he swayed, pointing to your face, smiling stupidly with his alcohol reeked breath. “Youu…”
“You are… so amazing, you know that…?”
Hm? 
Come again?
You waved your hand as you chuckled, looking away to hide that small flush of pinkness on your cheeks. “I think you’ve had way too many for tonight, sir.”
“S’ Tenyaaa,” He whined, leaning closer to you. “Stop calling me sir, y/n…” 
You stifled back a laugh, rolling your eyes as you sighed. “Fiine, fine,”
“Tenya, I think you’ve had your fair share of alcohol for tonight.” 
He leans his head to the side, pushing the counter with his weight. His eyes downcast and hazy, he smiled softly to you. “You think so?” 
A small chuckle escaped your lips as you shook your head. “I know so, si—Tenya.”
The table scraped softly as you pushed a small glass of water to him, clinking the glass with the back of your finger. “Maybe some water would do you good.” You smiled, nudging the glass once more to get his attention to it.
Then he smiles, leaning his head upon the counter with his arms below his chin. His eyes hazily looked into yours, as if he was…admiring you. His smile grew before his hand reached out, moving away a loose strand of hair off your face. It was soft, gentle, tender. Something you would never expect from the stiff and professional Tenya Iida. From your own boss. 
His touch lingered a moment on the side of your cheek, he tucked his hand away again beneath his chin before he spoke, “You…”
“How are you this radiant…?” He murmured quietly, head tilting just slightly as he narrowed his eyes in awe. 
The loud and chattering bar seemed to quiet down at that moment, while the heat in your cheeks rose up. You cleared your throat, pushing the glass towards him again with your face turned to the other way. “Drink some water, Tenya.” You reminded, brushing him off. 
A low chuckle was what you heard, along with fabric shuffling softly as he stood up again, still leaning to the counter top. “You’re ignoring me.” He said, amusement lacing his tone. 
“No, I’m reminding you, Tenya.”
“...You’re caring for me,” He smiled. Sure, you weren’t looking at him, but that small change in his tone was recognizable. Yet this one wasn’t really heard much by you. It was small, subtle, yet there was a tone of admiration in it. Like someone saying ‘Aww’. 
You scoffed, turning your head to look at him again. “I always do,” Well maybe you shouldn’t have said that. 
Ahem! The bar stool croaked through the floor as you stood up, collecting your bag and coat. 
“I’ll be calling that a night, Tenya.” You slipped out a small greeting, smiling to his still-leaning form.
His face dropped to a small frown, almost a pout. “You’re leaving…?” His question sounded more like a weak plea. Disappointed and sad about your farewell. 
You chuckled as you zipped your bag up. “Yes, Tenya.”
“Tomorrow I still need to be in the office.” You teased, tilting your head slightly as you smiled at him. 
“...I also need to be in the office, I’m your boss.” He scoffed, his tone cocky and proud.
“Exactly,”
Putting your coat back on, you rattled the keys of your car in your hand, sinking it into the pockets. You clutched your bag, straightening up your posture while you brush yourself off before bowing to him. “Goodnight, Tenya.”
“...Get home safe, okay?” You smiled, turning away to walk towards the exit. 
Darn you and your soothing voice. Darn you and your smile. Darn you. His gaze stayed pinpointed on you even as you opened the doors of the bar to exit it, walking with that pace he’s grown to know too well. Steady steps with sureness, like you always had somewhere to be. The smile crept back onto his face. His gaze drifted back to the glass of water as he huffed a chuckle, grabbing it into his hand before sipping it. 
With a slow shake of his head, he let out another chuckle, softer this time. 
“Little minx.."

“Tama, just hold her!” You chuckled softly, watching as your husband trembled while his eyes were fixated to your little daughter now snuggled in your arms. 
Himari was what he muttered out when you held her, his hand shakily touched her cheek, pulling it back rapidly as if she was going to disintegrate. You kept on nudging him to hold her himself, but he just kept refusing, scared that his hands were too sweaty to hold the small baby. Eventually though, he did cave in, nervously opening his palms as you gently handed the small bundle to him. 
A soft sigh of relief escaped his lips as he held her, softly rocking her as he shushed her. A small smile crept up his lips as he giggled softly while his eyes gazed oh so lovingly at her.
“...She’s beautiful,” He mumbled softly, a hand coming up to move the cloth out of the way of her face. All that while his finger brushed upon her soft little cheek, earning a small whine from her. He smiled, the same smile you've seen him with at your wedding day. 
You could only chuckle at the sight, Tamaki kept on softly mumbling praises to the small baby, something along the lines of, ‘I’m so happy you’re here, hm?’ or ‘You did such a great job, I’m so proud of you.’
⋆˚꩜。
Time never did know rest. It felt like yesterday you were still swaddling Himari, shushing her cries and waking up in the middle of the night because she was hungry. Now, here she was, hair still damp, tied into a small ponytail with small clips adorned her hairline, her elementary uniform still a little bit too big on her. She smiled widely while Tamaki carefully adjusted her collars, on his knees.
“Don’t be afraid to talk, a-and make new friends, okay?” He smiled, tidying up Himari’s bangs.
She nodded, “Yes, dad!” 
“And if anyone is being mean to you, tell the teacher, okay?” 
“Yes, dad!” She nodded again, jumping on her feet. 
Tamaki smiled, kissing her forehead gently as he stood back up.
“Can we go noww?” She pleaded, clutching her bag strap while her other hand tugged at Tamaki's arm.
You chuckled softly, walking over to press a long kiss to both her cheeks, earning a whine from her as well as a small giggle. As you stood up, a gentle tug was calling by your waist, pulling you to your husband’s embrace. He smiled, brushing his knuckle over your cheek before softly doing the same as he did to Himari, then muttering a soft goodbye. “I’ll be off, angel.”

“Good morning, your highness.” 
The boy greeted, bowing to you in his way that you’ve grown familiar with. His eyes dared not to look into yours as his head kept low, finding his boots so very interesting.
“Arise, Tenya” You chuckled, watching as the blue haired boy rose from his curt, his dark blue eyes not daring to gaze into your own. 
It had been two years — well, 22 months, and a week, to be exact — since he was assigned to you, the next heir of the throne, the beloved princess, as your private guard. His job was simple; be with you at all times, and to protect you from any harm that comes your way. You had grown fond of him, his stiff movements, his worrisome habit, and his ever so slightly loud voice. 
He would follow you around as you took your walks by the city, greeting the citizens and haggling with the vendors, or playing with the children. It had seemed as if he was keeping a tight watch in every area you are in, his eyes would narrow if someone had gotten too close, his hands would ready themselves on the hilt of his sword if their hands went to a suspicious pocket. Slowly though, as he had spent time with you, he had grown fond of your jokes, your lighthearted jabs at him, and even your habit of purposely walking slowly towards your council meetings.
“Smile, Tenya. It does not kill you.” You say, seeing as the boy would always keep a sharp gaze to the surroundings, his mouth ever so slightly forming a frown. And he would comply, “Y-yes, your highness” and a small curve up his lips would appear. You had always admired his smile, and even complimented him many times for it, hoping that he would take it as a sign for him to start smiling more. For a small reason that — goodness, he scares the people away with that sharp gaze of his.
⋆˚✿˖°
The day Tenya had received the news of being chosen as the kingdom heir’s guard, he was ecstatic. He made sure to polish his sword, his armour, and even bought new shoes to be at his best. His steps were wide and confident as he made his way to the castle grounds. He memorized all the proper etiquette he had learned to greet a royalty, talk to a royalty, everything. He greeted the king and queen just fine, they smiled and approved of his bow, his replies, all were met with a knowing glance from the two, nodding to each other.
Then his eyes then laid upon you, the heir of the kingdom. Of course, the papers and people had praised you for your beauty, your elegance, and all sweet words. Yet it all came too short to even describe you. To him, you were radiant. He bowed to you that day, introducing himself, and even as you commanded him to rise, he dared not to look in your eyes, fearing he might stutter.
The days he spent with you were filled with schedules, and he would follow from behind as you attended your classes, went to walk by the city, attended your council meetings, or even ate dinner. 
Slowly, you allowed him to sit by the dinner table along with you, growing fond of his presence. “Sit with me, Tenya” You softly instructed, your hand gesturing to the seat beside you. 
So, as days turned to weeks, and weeks into months, Tenya now found himself memorizing your schedule, where he had to escort you to, what sweets you liked—wait, no, that’s not…— but oh, it is. 
Like it or not, for the last two years, Tenya continues to find himself growing in admiration towards you, and it only grows stronger each day as he watches you smile, laugh, chuckle, talk, goodness! Even the way you would slightly lose your temper in handling the council meetings looks so powerful and admirable to him. He finds himself unable to tear his gaze from you as you write your studies down to your books, his heartbeat would jolt and his chest would flourish with even a graze of your skin touching his hands, and he still couldn’t look you in the eyes without stuttering his words, and the sight of you in any dress seemed to always make his breath hitch in his throat. The way you would smile when saying his name, when you emphasize the syllables, it sends him into a spiral. This is… frustrating to him. He longed to hold you, to kiss your hand as you descended into your bedroom, to tuck your hair behind your ear, to… love you…
…He was but a knight, and you were the direct heir to the kingdom, a princess. He knew his feelings were a clap with only one hand. He is but a knight, a guard meant to watch from the sidelines, and not to interfere. For you were to find a suitor soon, and he had no chances of being one of them.
Yet he persisted, he pushed reality away, ignorance is bliss afterall. 
He would accompany you as you talked through the night at the castle gardens, babbling to him about anything, as your fingers danced on top of the water of the fountain, and you would sneak glances at him from the water, and sometimes flicked a trickle of water to his face, giggling. He would smile, and only to you, a warm grin would even form at his face, and his hands would twitch, tempted to move a loose strand of hair away from your face. You would tell stories to him of your day, knowing he was there through all of it, and he would listen, humming as a response. 
He finds himself helping you pick and choose your jewelry, and you’d sometimes laugh while putting up an earring to his ear, “You look beautiful, Tenya.” And the four words would send shivers down his spine, and his voice came out softer than how it would usually.
Tenya knew this was all wrong, he shall not, he should not be having these… interactions with you, he should not look at you so, it’s unprofessional, it’s against his protocol! It’s… forbidden. 
⋆˚✿˖°
You walked through the castle garden slowly, your hands clasped lazily behind your back as Tenya followed you close from behind. Your eyes wander through the trees, the flowers that now bow their heads to the setting sun. Tenya’s heavy boots’ steps became a rhythm to your own, and you found yourself falling into step beside him.
“The noon is beautiful today, hm?” 
“Indeed, your highness.”
Your heart flutters as you glance at him, smiling to you with the smile that you love perhaps a little too much. That smile that he never gave to anyone… but you. That smile, with his deep blue eyes, like pools that you would bathe in. Those eyes that made you… come alive every time you gaze into them. Despite his cold demeanor, stiff discipline, yet that softness in his eyes—they were always present when he talked to you, or when he was chiding you gently for your recklessness, and you would always find your heart hammering to your chest every time he did, and your words would stutter, stuck at the tip of your tongue. 
The feeling no longer felt unfamiliar to you, unlike the first time he offered to listen to your worries that night by the fountain, and even offered his coat to you. Goodness, were you always this shy? It seemed like talking to other men would flow like breathing to you, but since that night, Tenya’s figure always seemed to shine in your eyes, and you slowly found yourself looking for him in every room you enter whenever he was not around, sneaking glances to whenever he was training, and even complimented him purposely to see his cheeks grow red. 
You knew this was wrong. You are a princess, the heir to the throne, for gods’ sake! You shall not, you mustn’t.
But it’s only a small admiration… is it not…?
You sighed to push away the thought, turning to him as you walked backwards, “Do I look presentable for dinner, Tenya?”
He smiled softly, looking at you with a knowing gaze. “Of course you do, your highness.” He paused. Then continued, “...Y-you look… radiant, as always.” 
⋆˚✿˖°
“My dear,” The king smiled as he wiped his mouth from his dinner. He had a knowing smile on his face, one you grew to know too well; he had good news to share.
“The neighboring kingdom has sent a proposal.” He continued, a huge grin on his face. You knew too well what this was about, the past few months you’ve been nagged about seeking marriage, a prince or a nobleman to love and to cherish for the rest of your days. You knew all too well that he had found a kingdom who finally offered their son for you to marry. 
“...A marriage, father?” You made sure, your hands cutting the steak on your plate carefully. “Sharp as always, my dear. You are correct once more.” 
Tenya’s quiet movements paused, his hands felt stiff on his knife as he cut his steak, and the voices, noises of the dining hall seemed to be mere echoes at that moment. The day he had dreaded has come, the day he wished and dreamed will never come, came at last. He knew, oh he knew too well that this day would come, but the sting felt like venom in his chest, and the thought of you dancing, smiling at other men shot a chorus of jealousy through his veins that lasted short as he realized; you weren’t even his, not in the slightest.
“But father, isn’t it too soon? And this kingdom hasn’t been on the best terms with us…” Your voice cuts through his thoughts, though quiet and filled with uncertainty. You opened your mouth once more, “Not to mention—” The king raised his palm, commanding silence. 
“...I wish nothing but the best for you, dear daughter. You know that well.” 
“But father–” 
“y/n…I do not wish to argue as of now.” The king threatened, his brows frowning.
“...But their son!! Father, his reputation is not–” 
“I know, my dear, I know…” He sighed. “But this marriage shall be a great benefit–”
The chair croaked through the ground as you stood up, fists clenching by your sides as your eyes set ablaze. Your lips curled into a scoff.
“A great benefit to whomst?! You?!”
“My dear—”
“No!” You yelled, your vision narrowing from your furrowing brows.
You scowled as you turned away from the dining table, your shoes clacked against the stone floors, echoing through the room and halls as you exited the dining hall. Tenya’s eyes followed your figure, his eyes frowned at the sight, flickering back and forth from you and the king, frowning. 
“...E-excuse me, your majesty.” Tenya stood up, earning a wave of dismissal from the sighing king. 
His steps fell heavy upon the stone floors as he followed your way, exiting the dining hall, his head darted left to right, yet your familiar graceful figure wasn’t there, only the moonlight that seeped from the castle’s windows, the crickets singing a numb ring to his ears as he progressed down the hallway. 
“Your highness, your highness!” He called out, and the echoes of his own voice answered his call.
His boots fell heavy upon the cobblestone floors, the metal embellishments on his uniform clinked against each other as his arms swung front to back. But then, the familiar gleam of moonlight whispered into his eyes, upon the water in the fountain by the castle gardens, there the moon had settled, amongst its glow, you sat by the fountain, your fingers danced upon its water.
“Your highness!” He breathed out a relieved sigh, his tone hushed as he rushed to your side.
You stayed silent, refusing to look at him. He shall not see you, not when you’re this fragile. You lift your hand to your face to swipe a tear off your cheek, sighing softly.
“Y-your highness,” He breathed. 
A familiar twitch tugged on his arm, that one tug that always begs him to reach out his hand and hold you in his arms, enveloping you, to stroke your hair gently and whisper sweet nothings in your ear. He ignores it.
“Leave me be Tenya,” You sniffled, your shoulder jolted slightly from your remaining sobs. You refused to turn your back to the fountain and face him, ashamed that you had cried in front of him. “But your highness–”
“You are dismissed for today, Tenya.” 
He froze, hesitance tugging the strings of his heart. Yet he did not leave, he stayed silent by your side as your quiet sobs slowly sang along with the trickling water and the harmony of crickets. The heat of his body was still present, taunting you from behind.
“Your highness, please, for this once, let me stay by your side.”
You opened your mouth to repeat your command, but it was stopped by a click from the embellishments of his uniform, along with a shuffle from the velvet brushing up against his arms, and yours.
The air hitched in your throat. The cold air of the night disappeared almost immediately as you felt his arms around you, the velvety coat of the fabric, along with the feels of his cotton gloves cautiously resting upon your arms. His chest was flush to your back, and responding to the drumming of your heart, your hand instinctively reached to his arms, now circling carefully upon your chest. His breath was shaking, trembling, as if in fear, but also relief. Tenya’s head slowly rested on your shoulder, and you could feel his body shake ever so slightly as his breaths hitched and choked softly in sobs.
“Your highness,” He croaked, his voice strained. “Please… please, talk to me…” 
You stayed quiet.
“Your highness… I would listen to you ramble about anything, your days, your accomplishments, your sadness…anything, your highness… so please… talk to me.”
You slowly turned your body to face him in his embrace, he stood straight back up, his eyes now welling with tears as his lips pursed slightly to hold them back.
“But why… Tenya…?” You asked softly, the hints of tears still present in your voice.
He stayed silent, his beautiful admiral blue eyes slowly finding home to gaze upon yours, before he said;
“For it is because I love you, princess.” He confessed, his voice barely above a whisper as he trembled, darting away his gaze from yours in shame.
“...I love you…so very much,”
“A-and… I would trade nothing… to listen to you talk to me.” He continued, letting his mouth ramble on, the exhaustion of keeping a secret too big to handle dawning upon him. 
Your eyes grew wide with every single sentence he muttered out in hints of embarrassment and relief.
“I-I know… these feelings are wrong,” He stammered, his hands slowly finding your hands, gently holding them to his chest. 
“But I… I am but a knight, princess…no– I…”
“I am but a man and— gods help me… I try so hard...”
“So hard to keep my distance… but I just… couldn’t.” A sob escaped his lips, almost desperate. 
“It’s always you, my lady… always you… who makes me weak to my knees, always you who makes me smile, I… I love you …too much, it hurts.” He confessed. And as he did, his voice became lower and lower, his head ducking in shame, and his sobs frequent. But he shakingly kept your hands pressed to his chest, and you could clearly hear his racing heart.
Maybe it was the wine that was served at dinner, or was it just grape juice? Either way, your hands found their way to his cheeks, slowly guiding his face to yours. 
Then, Tenya’s world fell silent when his lips touched yours. Hesitance, then certainty. His hands slowly enveloped your waist, his thumb traced circles upon it, and one caressed your cheek as he sighed against your lips, meeting his forehead to yours.
“I love you… so much, princess,” He whispered, his finger gently brushed away the hair covering your face as he pressed a light kiss to your forehead, his tears met your skin.
“Shall the stars not write me into your story, I shall carve my name myself.”

“Siiiigghhh…”
Today had been slow in the skate shop, and nothing bores the blonde boy more than a slow day in the shop. Kaminari huffed, glancing his golden eyes to the clock, watching it tick by slowly. The faint electric guitar riffing the melody he had grown to know every high and lows already had repeated for the fifth time that day, and all he had to say was a groan as he threw his head to the counter as he peeked at the time again, wishing his shift was magically over.
Ring! The door opened, a small bell rang from the top of it, as you walked in, your eyes darted around the shop as your hands clutched a skateboard by the trucks of it. Then, you spotted him, walking over slowly.
“Hey, um…” You spoke, fidgeting with the wheels of the board.
“I’m here to get some wheel change…” 
Kaminari stood there for a moment, his eyes wide and his lips parted just slightly as he seemed to eye you up and down. Then he spoke up, clearing his throat.
“Oh! Uh… yeah, w-we can help with that.” He smiled sheepishly, nervously rubbing his hands to the side of his jeans.
You handed your board, carefully placing it on his hands as he reached out. The board clacked softly against the counter as he placed it down, wheels facing up. He hissed in the air from his teeth.
“Nice board.” He grinned at you, which slowly turned into pursing his lips from his realization of his awkwardness.
You nodded your head, “Thanks,” 
Silence fell between you two, broken only by the faint melody of Avril Lavigne singing from the speakers; something about skater boys, and the sound of him rummaging through the counter’s cabinets, taking out a wrench, and a new set of wheels, as well as a piece of cloth already dirtied by oil.
“So uh,” “Just the same set? Streets?” He made sure, pausing his hands just before he opened the packed wheels.
You nodded, “Yeah, streets.”
Damn it, this is so… awkward… He thought, biting the insides of his cheek, pursing his lips with slightly furrowing brows as he nodded to your request. He cleared his throat, maybe louder than he had to. His hands opened the wrapped wheels, white, solid, and smooth, with small designs at the sides. He glanced at you from beneath his hair, meeting your eyes maybe a little bit too precisely. He darted his eyes back down, clearing his throat again. The familiar feeling of heat creeped up his neck. 
“S-so uh…” He croaked, “How long’ve you had this board for?” 
You stammered for a second, caught off guard by his sudden question. “Around… two years?” 
He hummed in response, nodding his head. “Nice,” “You took nice care” He smiled, tilting his head up from his work to look at you.
Much to his surprise, he was met with you smiling back so sweetly as you nodded. “I don’t really skate that often.” You admitted, chuckling as you softly swayed your body back and forth to get rid of the nerves. He laughed along, screwing tight the bolts before he lifted the board up, turning it around to check it from below.
“That should do it,” He grins, handing the board back to you.
“Thanks, how much do I owe you?” Receiving the board on your right hand, you reached into your bag to take out your wallet.
He stayed quiet for a moment, seemingly to be considering something in his head as he eyed you up and down from your face to your board. Then, he grinned, turning to the cashier, tapping on a tablet before looking back at you. Seeing your confused face, he giggled. “For someone as cute as you? Free.” He said, his grin turning to a small smirk. 
“Are you sure?” You chuckle lightly, tilting your head to the side to study his face, I guess he’s kind of cute. His eyes stayed fixed, nodding as he gestured to you to be off on your way.
“More than sure.” 
“...Okay thenn…” You smiled, shrugging off.
As you left, he waited for a moment, listening until your steps had receded, before he hit his head, slapping himself on the cheek because what the hell was that, Kami?! He mocked himself, reenacting the way he said his flirt to you, and cringed. Groaning loudly as he dropped his head on the counter.
⋆✴︎˚。⋆ 
“Come o-on! It’s been months since we last hung outt!” Mina’s voice whined from the phone. You hummed as you contemplated, your hand lazily flicked down on your board’s wheels, the same free wheels from a month ago, now already scratched and dirty from use.
Sigh… “Okay, fine, meet me at the park.” You smiled, complying as you stood up and flicked your board to your hand. Mina’s cheer was heard, followed along by a repeating chant of ‘Let’s go!’. 
Winds of afternoon greeted you as you walked out the gates of your apartment complex, you zipped up your jacket, one hand clutching the board by the deck, letting it rest beside your waist. 
Upon arriving, Mina was sitting on the edge of a curb, her legs curled up against her chest while her head rested on her knees, lazily gazing down on her pink phone while her board lay idly beside her.
“Oi” You called out, snickering at her lonely form.
Her head snapped to your direction, grinning as she jumped up, greeting you. “Y/N!!” She chimed, skipping her steps to you. “I need to go to the skate shop down the street first, c’mon.’ She cheekily smiled, tugging by your hand to turn your body to the opposite direction.
⋆✴︎˚。⋆
Ring! The shop’s door rang, jolting Kaminari awake from the nap on his hands, making him stand back up immediately. “Hey, welcome—”
Wait. He recognized… that smile, your face, your eyes, he remembered that. Of course he did, despite it being a whole month ago. He told Eijiro of your purchase that day, sheepishly admitting he gave away a 2000 yen worth of purchase to someone he thought looked so cute. Sure, he got some scolding, but it was worth it… he guesses. 
The world sure is small. You’re friends with Mina, a friend he had known even before he worked here. 
“Mina!” He greeted, grinning as he made his exit from behind the counter. Mina smiled, hugging him as she rambled about how she missed going into the shop, and how her injuries’ gotten better so now she can start skating again.
Kaminari smiled, glancing towards you, he mustered up the courage to greet you. “Hey, I remember you.” He said, grinning sweetly as if that was a normal thing to say to someone who you had met only the second time. 
“I remember you, too,” You replied a little too quickly. I mean—how could you not? The cute blonde who gave away a wheel set worth 2000 yen to you? And for a second, just one second, you swore to yourself you saw his smile tightened just slightly as you said that.
He quickly diverted his gaze away from yours, clearing his throat to push away that small blush creeping up his neck. “So uh…” He rubs his neck, glancing at you two from the corners of his eyes. “W-what brought you guys here?”
“Just wanted to get some spray paints.” Mina chimed, already making her way to the shop’s aisles, before shortly the sound of cans clanking in her hands were heard, muttering to herself as she debated on the colors she wanted to get, something about pink or yellows, while Kaminari stood awkwardly by your side, waiting for her to make her purchase by the counter as he swayed back and forth on his feet. “So uh… you wanna get anythin’...?” He spoke finally, a hint of crack was heard in his voice as he grinned sheepishly, puckering his lips to the side almost immediately.
“No…” You chuckled fiddly. “Just uh… waiting for her…” Your thumb pointed to Mina, who was still muttering to herself by the aisle.
It seemed like crickets sang between the two of you, and if this was a reality show, the narrator had probably commented ‘Awkward…’ towards your interaction. He opened his mouth slightly, a small sound came out from him like he was trying to say something… but then, Mina made her way back, rattling the cans in her hands as she grinned happily. “Got ‘em!! Let’s go!” 
And so you two walked out. You turned to look at him as you reached for the door, with an intention of waving to him. His smile greeted you. A dumb, silly, adorable smile, before he quickly snapped back to reality, waving back to you frantically.
⋆✴︎˚。⋆
The first thing that greeted you as you opened a packet of bandages at home were Mina’s texts, chiming your phone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You snicker at your phone, placing it beside you as you gently placed a bandaid on your scraped knee, patting it softly to secure it in place. 
⋆✴︎˚。⋆ 
It’s February! What better way is there to celebrate the month filled with hearts then to make an event? Thundergrind, the small skate shop down the street near a skate park, had been busy from the night before, decorating their ceilings with little paper hearts and unpacked their valentines’ special uniforms. Kaminari and Eijirou half-heartedly did one last check of their shop, before nodding in agreement, iiitt’s ready!
Tumblr media
The blonde stood by the counter, waiting for any customers to enter, his foot tapping the floor to the song playing by the speakers. His job today was easy; help people decorate their boards, and spray paint their shirts. 
He groaned, “Vaaalleenntiinness’...” dropping his head to the counter. 
He is convinced to the core that today is going to be the most boring day of his time at the skate shop, if not the whole week. He’s still got at least a week handling the same job, and probably witnessing some disgusting interactions between the couples in the shop. Eijiro snickered, “C’mon, lighten up a bit.” He smiled, nudging Kaminari’s shoulder.
“Don’t wanna,” Kaminari huffed, resting his chin on his palm.
The day went on almost as he expected, straining smiles to the couples requesting cheesy designs, laughing a bit too loud at any awkward jokes, at least the shop’s lively he thought.
Ring! The shop’s door rang for the umpteenth time that day, and suddenly his job that day felt like lead weights on his shoulder. Watching you walk in with a blank white tee slung over your shoulder, making a bee line to his counter.
“Oh! Hey uh–... It’s you, hehe…” He smiled, then grinned, then just pursed his lips, running a hand through his hair.
You smiled nodding to him as a greeting while you slowly took the shirt from your shoulder, while your other hand fidgeted with your phone.
“I heard you guys… do shirt designs, for valentines'...?” You asked, raising your shoulders as you lifted the shirt in your hands.
He nodded fervently, smiling. “Mhm!” As his gloved hands already readied the spray paints on the counter, “I’ll do whatever you want—” 
Pause.
“...I- I meant the designs.” 
You snickered, handing him the shirt.
And for a moment, the small warmth from his gloved hand brushed against your fingers, a smile crept up your lips.
“I wanted a lightning bolt,” You said, shyly tilting your head to the side as you averted his nervous gaze. “Like your hair,” 
A moment of silence was there, and you looked up to see him silently stammering while his hand tried to translate what he was trying to say, the other sheepishly brushing his hair back.
“Cool, cool, I can definitely do that.” He finally manages while clearing his throat, a hint of shakiness in his voice while his hands scurried to find the spray paints again. “Y-yellow? Oorr…” 
You nodded, reaching your finger to the shirt to trace the design you had in mind. “Mhm, yellow, going from here to here,”
He smiled, nodding as he bent down to the shirt, putting on his mask while propping himself on his shoulders to get started on the shirt.
⋆✴︎˚。⋆ 
Kaminari sighed, pulling down his mask while he brushed his hand under his nose. He smiled, satisfied with the work he’d done on your shirt, now decorated with a lightning bolt across it. He looked up to you, grinning.
“So, how’d you like it?” A proud tone on his voice.
You smiled, silently chuckling at his obvious pride. “I love it, Kami, Thanks.
“...You did a great job,” You added, even if it wasn’t even necessary. 
The blonde’s grin faltered to a shy smile, as he brushed his hand under his nose again, a smudge of paint perched on it, and without a single thought,
you reached your hand, gently wiping his nose while snickering, “You got something… there.”
WHAT THE FUUUUUCKKK I’m gonna die RIGHT NOW. LIKE. RIGHT. NOW.
“Oh! Uh– Thanks…y/n,”
Kaminari’s mouth opened and closed before he so very shakily said, “Y-you’re… so sweet.” 
His hands scurried to take off his gloves, as he turned his back on you, muttering stuff you didn’t quite catch, something along the lines of 'Why did you say that?!' or something. When he turned back around, he grinned again, it seemed strained, almost awkward as he reached for your shirt.
“H-here, uh–...” 
CLANG! TANG! Were the sounds the cans made as he knocked them over, hurrying to salvage them before they made too much noise.
“S-sorry, here..”
You giggled, gently grabbing the shirt he handed. As you reached for your wallet, he reached out, almost grabbing your wrist to stop you. “It’s… o-on the house.” He smiled, immediately pulling back his hand to his side, clenching his fist.
“Really now, again?” You smiled.
“...If it makes you think of me, theenn… why not?” He grins sheepishly, shrugging his shoulders as an attempt to get rid of his nerves. You couldn’t help but scoff out a chuckle, failing miserably to hold back a smile, then a grin. “I already do.” You mumbled, before your ears picked up on a thud, while he ducks down to grab some more paint, along with some more cans clattering. He stood up immediately, rubbing the top of his head with the stupidest grin he’s thrown at you. 
You still reached for your wallet anyway, grabbing the pen lying by the counter to scribble something on the cash you had, placing it on the counter before you turned away, throwing him one last smile. 
⋆✴︎˚。⋆ 
Closing time had never felt so nice. Kaminari’s smile hadn’t faltered since you left. In his pocket (that he kept on checking in to) lies the cash you had given him, despite his words. He rummaged his pocket again as he locked the shop’s doors, unfolding the small ruffled up paper, as his fingers smoothed out the small numbers you had written messily on it, your phone number. 
He couldn’t help but let out a small squeak as he walked, his eyes looking at the Yen like it’s a treasure he had found in the middle of trash, which it is, in his opinion. 
“Spill,” Eijiro chuckled, nudging him. “You’ve sulked all day, but now you’re all jolly?”
Kaminari’s hand immediately pocketed the small cash, clearing his throat. “Nothin’” Yet his smile betrayed his ecstasy. “Just…happy that the day’s over, is all.” He said, shrugging his shoulders.
Eijiro’s skepticism was obvious as he huffed, rolling his eyes. “Mhm, suuuuure.” 
“I got their number!!” Kaminari blurted out, clapping his hands over his mouth to hide his huge smile.
The red head’s eyes widen, along with his toothy smile. A cheer escaped his lips as he pushed Kaminari’s shoulder, laughing. “Text them, hello??” 
“I will, I will!!!” 
“...At home.” Kaminari stuck out his tongue, pacing up his steps to race past Eijiro.
⋆✴︎˚。⋆ 
Kaminari immediately closed, locked his apartment door. Leaning against it while clutching his phone on his chest, he looked like those rom-com movie characters right now. His grin still graced his red-nosed face, as he slowly glanced down to his phone, his thumbs hovering over the keyboard before typing out his first message to you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kaminari’s smile tensed. His thumbs froze, and the typing… bubble kept on replaying the animation as he stared at your message. He speeds to his bed, screaming into his pillow while he giggles, but stops abruptly to slap himself.
“Be a man, Kaminari, be a man.” 
He huffed, slapping both his hands to his cheeks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Never had a laugh and a scream escaped from his lips that fast, and that loud. Kaminari’s hand slammed his phone to the bed, as he covered his mouth with his pillow again, giggling while jumping all around his apartment. 
Handsome. HANDSOME. HANDSOME.
He quickly scurried to his bed again, kneeling down before it while he rests his elbows by the edge of the bed, his hands shakily handling the phone again. A huge grin graced his face, and his mouth couldn't keeps on squealing, letting out held-back giggles as he typed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
⋆✴︎˚。⋆ 
The evening winds caressed his face gently as he rocked back and forth on his heels, one hand clutching his phone, one hand rubbing up and down on his bag’s strap nervously. In his pocket, lay a small letter he wrote himself after around ten times redoing, along with a small simple black bracelet he had bought just three days before, dragging Eijiro and Mina to find the perfect one. 
“Kami,” Your voice softly called, making him turn around to look at you. And if the shop’s LED’s weren’t enough to make your eyes look like the prettiest things he’s seen in the world, then boy did the setting sun and the skies do. 
Oh, oh. 
The first impression he had on you when you two first met was that you were so cute. But goodness the orange hue of the sun bouncing off your hair, your cheeks, oh my GOD he was ready to just kiss your cheeks.
“H-Hey! Uh…” 
“You look… n-nice…” He grins, sheepishly swaying his body right and left as you approach.
You smiled, running your hand back through your hair while you fidgeted something in your pocket.
“Thanks, Kami.” 
He smiled, grinning from ear to ear. His hands twitched—he wanted to pinch your cheeks. But he held back, obviously.
You two walked along the skate park, accompanied by the scrapes and the clacks of other skaters in the park, chatting and rambling about various things. He would beam up when you mentioned you also liked Avril Lavigne, or My Chemical Romance, and even Paramore. Awkwardly, he would tell you that he can do a trick, then landing on his bum after doing a small ollie. 
Then, you would giggle and snicker, and he finds himself purposely messing up his tricks just to hear those cuts of laughter from you. And every time he did succeed to earn your laughter, he’d give the stupidest, dorkiest smile ever, before standing up, brushing himself off. 
“You’re faking this,” You teased, between laughter.
“Naaaww, I’m just bad.” He grins, shrugging his shoulders, his eyes flickering between you and the ground as he smiles. “Okay, maybe I’m doing it on purpose.” He admitted, throwing his hands up in surrender while he walked backwards.
“...But only ‘cause I get to hear you laugh,” His smile immediately faltered when he realized what he had just said. “L-Like in the way that uh—...”
“You like my laugh…?” You chuckled, tilting your head.
“Yeah?” cough cough “Uhm… in a your-laugh-is-nice kinda way, y’know?” He chuckled nervously, shrugging off his nerves and his ever growing blush.
“...And I guess your face is nice too,”
“A-and your hair… your voice…” He muttered, fiddling with the hem of his shirt. 
You blinked, smiling as you let out a huff. “You like me… back?”
He groaned, throwing his hands up to his hair, covering his face with his palms, “Fine, I guess I like you… a lot…”
Pause.
“W-wait— ‘back’?” He looked up to you from between his fingers, his voice muffled. You only smiled back, pretending to be clueless as his grin grew and he jumped towards you with laughter echoing in the air, hugging you tightly, before quickly remembering something, pulling back as he cleared his throat.
He reached into his pocket, taking out a small letter and a bracelet, handing it over to you as he looked to the ground. “For you,”
You smiled, “Aw,”
“Thank you, Kami” You said, admiring the small loop. 
You happily accepted his small gift as you reached into your own pocket, taking out a small miniature skateboard keychain. “My turn, for you, too.” Your hand handed over the keychain, and he nervously accepted it to his palm, smiling softly as he admired it. 
“It’s cute, thanks, y/n.”
“...Cute, l-like you.”

And as you stepped into the floors of your apartment once more, you sighed in contentment. The smile you've gotten since two hours ago hadn't left, and it's still stubbornly keeping its ground there.
Your hand rummaged through your pocket again, slowly fishing out the letter he had given you.
Your smile only grew wider as you read;
Dear y/n.

Deaf were your ears. Ringing with the sound of shots firing behind you. Your hand clutched the small head close to your chest, shaking and clinging by your shirt so tight it might rip. 
Your head kept repeating a prayer. Please Lord, please. He’s just a kid. Please, please—
“Empty your wallets!!” A bark of command echoed through the whole bank, along with another shot, booming through your ears.
Ryota sobbed to your shirt. His tiny body shaking, shivering beneath the mere protection of yours. 
Tears wet your cheeks as you whispered empty assurances to him, ducking beneath a counter as you crouched slowly, clinging onto a sliver of hope that you can make it to the exit without those masked people noticing. 
“It’s okay baby, it’s okay, just stay close to me, okay? We’ll be fine, we’ll—”
BANG! 
Too close. Far too close. 
The wind shot sharp as it passed by your eyes. A hole formed in the wall beside your head. You froze, breaths quickening as you turn slowly to your right, a gun meeting your distraught.
“Empty. Your. Wallets, lady. Did I make myself clear?”
Drums thrummed in your chest, Ryota’s cries grew louder as he clung tighter, ducking his head to your chest, pleading repeatedly.
“I– I’m sorry, h-here.. my wallet,” You mumbled, hands scrambling to your bag, fumbling over the zipper while the other took out your wallet, your sweat seemed to make all of your movements clumsy and slippery.
“Faster, lady. We ain’t got all day!” The robber growled, nudging the gun to your cheek, the cool metal was like a slap to your warm tears. Trembling, you raised your arm, handing the wallet and—
A blur passed, quick, fast.
So did you, your wrist yanked away from the robber, pulling Ryota along, bringing him to your side. When you finally dared to look, your sobs hitched to confusion. It was a man, his black hair falling over his face as he turned to you, deep sunken eyes staring at the both of you.
“Stay low.” He muttered, before quickly jumping back on his feet, a snatch of his scarf wrapping around the shocked robber. 
Before you knew it, heroes had flooded through the scene, arresting the robbers as they yanked about their cuffs. You still sat there, one hand clutching your wallet while the other pressed Ryota against your side, afraid if you loosen your grip just the slightest he’ll disappear.
“Hey,” 
The same man came to you again, his sleepy gaze roaming the both of you as he knelt down. “You two alright?” Gruffly, he spoke.
Ryota managed a nod. You felt it by your shoulder, you did the same, your thumb circling by Ryota’s shoulder, trying to ground yourself. Your eyes gazed through the man kneeling before you, your breaths still shaky.
“It’s okay,” He said, albeit rather flatly. “You’re okay.” He was frowning, brows stitched together as he sighed. 
Everything still felt too fast by your eyes, the cold, hard metal still felt too clear by your cheek. Your ears still rang, deaf from the shots echoing through. The fact that everything was still loud didn’t help. The sight of heroes still trying to clean the scene made your mind go hazy with an overwhelming sting.
You nodded again, opening your mouth to inhale, a trembling breath slipped past your lips.
“Breathe, c’mon. Just breathe.” He softly mumbled.
A warm hand touched your shoulder, a slight hesitancy lingering before it rested on it. His thumb circled by your shoulder. And somehow, it grounded you. Slowly, but it did.
Your eyes shut tightly, lips pressed together to a thin line to will yourself to focus.
“That’s it,” He spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. “You did great, you both did great.”
Ryota sniffled quietly, shifting away from your grasp. With a soft puff, his head landed on the man’s chest, his tiny arms wrapping around him.
“Thank you mister hero,” He mumbled, voice still unsteady, muffled by the man’s shirt.
You stiffened, reaching out your arms to take Ryota away, “I’m–.. I’m so sorry..” 
A silent raise of his palm was all you needed to stop your motion. “It’s alright, the kid’s just scared.” He murmured.
There. Right there. His lips curled a small smile, soft and warm, his arm wrapped around the small body clinging tight to him. 
“Eraserhead! C’mon, we gotta move!!” 
The hero sighed as he turned to look back, carefully lifting Ryota to his hips, hoisting him on as he stood up. With a clear of his throat, he reached out a hand, his eyes scanned over you, silently checking your injuries. “It’s not safe here, ma’am. Let’s get you out, hm?”
Hand to hand, you stood up. His fingers curled gently upon your arm while he guided you through the wrecked bank, walking you through rubble by rubble. The night air swept through your neck as you reached outside, your steps staggered you close to him.
“Slow,” He chided softly, a hint of chuckle by his lips.
His hand tightened around you, grasping your body closer to his to stabilize you again. All while he kept his arm tight around Ryota, securing him altogether.
A medic jogged to the two of you, smiling a sigh of relief. 
“Thank goodness, Eraser, I’ll handle them from here.” 
“No,” He uttered flatly, holding your shoulder closer. “Where’s an empty ambulance?” His eyes darted around, narrowing while he tried to find an ambulance vacant of any hostages.
“A-Ambulance three, sir.”
With a nod, his steps proceeded, tugging you along.
As you arrived at the flashing vehicle, you sat by the edge of the tailgate, a blanket wrapped around your figure as he stood by, waiting for him to place Ryota back to your grasp.
Yet he didn’t. He stayed, rocking the boy softly as he shushed him, patting his small head gently.
Your gaze softened at the two, “...Thank you, Eraserhead– I..”
“Aizawa.” He muttered, his tired eyes flicking to look into yours. “No need to call me that,” a smile flowed to his lips as he shook his head.
Returning his smile, albeit stiffly, your face felt sticky from your tears, you nodded. “Thank you.. Aizawa.” 
He shrugged, gaze falling back to the boy, now dozing off in his embrace. “S’just doing my job, ma’am.” 
A breath of laugh came out from your lips, a smile finally tugging your cheeks generously. You grinned, a grateful frown as you watched the two. “Still, you saved our lives,” 
“That’s just what I do, ma’am.” 
The night continued, hustling and bustling you around medics, police officers, then back to medics again.
Although he couldn’t stay by your side for the rest of the night, you didn’t miss his small glances every time he passed by your direction, as if making sure nothing bothered the two of you. 
Then, just as you were let off, he tapped by your shoulder.
“Here,” His hand offered a small piece of paper, something scribbled on it. “Just in case…anything bad happens, yeah?” 
You blinked, your hand slowly receiving the paper.
Numbers written on it, his number.
“Stay safe,” He mumbled, turning back to walk, leaving the two of you alone once more.
⋆˚꩜。
Wheels creaked softly, trudging occasionally as it rolled upon the tiles, you slowed down, eyes squinting at your phone while you scanned over the list you made for yourself. Ryota sang, he had been singing for the last 45 minutes, his feet hanging low by the child-seat of the cart, swaying as you pushed the cart. 
“Mommy can we get cereal?” He coaxed, “Pleeease?” 
You chuckled, tucking his soft locks behind his ear, pinching his cheek mid way. “Okay, let’s go.” With a nod, you rolled the cart once more, turning the corner to the next aisle. 
Ryota cheered, continuing his little tunes as you pushed—only for you to nearly crash into a person. 
“Sorry—!” You yelped, immediately digging your heels to the floor, grasping the cart tight to your chest. 
The man stood there, mumbling a small, “It’s fine…” as he continued to walk, his hand waving the small paper in his hand. 
Ryota gasped, jumping up and down in his seat. “Mister hero!! Mister hero!!” Piped the boy, pointing his small finger to the man. Clearly it didn’t take a genius to figure out it was him, with sweatpants and a shirt, the only difference was his hair being tied up. 
Aizawa’s eyes widened, his gaze flickering between the two of you before his lips finally curled into a small grin. “Ah, small world, hm?” His eyes scanned you slowly, as if tracking back his memory of when he first saw you, just like how he did that time. 
“Aizawa,” You breathed out, smiling at the absurdity of it all. All the while, you lifted Ryota up, gently placing him on his feet to stand by his own, only for him to run to the man, hugging his hips, giggling as he nuzzled his face to the man who smiled down at the boy. 
“It’s been a bit, how’ve you been, ma’am?” He smiled, placing his belongings to the floor to hoist Ryota up his hips with no second thought.
“J-just call me y/n,” you prodded. 
“Ah, so that’s your name.” He nodded, turning his gaze to Ryota, “Him?”
“Ryota,” 
His smile grew, “Nice name. Ryota.”
A small silence fell upon you two as he stood there, watching Ryota play with his hair curiously. Neither of you spoke, just smiling silently until he cleared his throat. 
“You uh… you never really… texted my number, huh?” He mumbled, not really looking at you, almost as if he was embarrassed to ask the question. 
“Oh uh… I just… figured you were busy,” You muttered, now it was your turn to be sheepish. 
“Ah, no, no.”
“I’ll.. I’ll make time…” Aizawa nodded, his body rocking slowly as Ryota giggled, “for emergencies,” He added.
You responded with only a small chuckle, tucking away the loose strand of hair to your ear. 
Ryota piped up, “Mister hero, do you want to have ice cream at my house?” He bounced in his arms, eyes lighting up in hope.
“Oh— Ryo, honey, no, mister hero’s busy, he can’t–” Waving your hands, you tried to salvage the situation.
“I’d love to, Ryota.” Aizawa cut you off gently, smiling at the boy like he knew him for years. His hand moved to ruffle his hair with a grin. Then, his eyes darted to you, something tugging inside—careful, almost like asking for your permission.
“If it’s alright with your mother,” He added quietly, with that not-so-smiling-smile of his that maybe makes your heart thump just a bit faster.
Blink. Blink. Your hands hovered by the air, clueless of what to respond. A pro hero had just agreed to your son’s silly invite, how were you to respond?
“O-oh.. well—”
“Please mommy? Please?” 
“I.. I guess if he doesn’t mind, then.. s-sure.”
The little boy cheered in Aizawa’s arms, throwing his hands up in celebration. It earned a small laugh from him, gazing fondly at Ryota with that gentle ruffle on his hair. 
He bent down, picking up his grocery basket again while one hand still supported Ryota down, until his tiny feet touched the ground once more. With a small tap on his small bum, Aizawa spoke, “Alright, lead the way, Ryota.” 
Ryota didn’t waste a second — grabbing your hand and tugging you forward with all the excited strength a small boy could muster. You stumbled a little, laughing under your breath, shooting Aizawa an apologetic glance over your shoulder.
He only nodded once, easy and unbothered, before following the two of you with slow, steady steps, his grocery basket swinging loosely by his side. 
The walk was lively, warm, tender. 
Ryota babbling to Aizawa about all his favorite ice cream flavors, and he’d chuckle quietly, nodding and gasping at all his exaggerated bravado. He held his and your shopping bags, letting Ryota’s little steps match with his own. All—while your heart flutters at the scene, and how you’ve longed to witness it.
And when you unlocked your apartment door, you held your breath, the reminder of the man being a literal pro hero suddenly sinking in again to your mind.
You glanced over your shoulder to meet his gaze, an awkward smile perched by your face. “Sorry if it’s messy,” a mutter was what you managed, followed along with a small chuckle from you.
“Don’t worry.” He smiled, placing down the bags by the shoe rack, shuffling his feet to slide off his shoes. “I’m sure my place is messier.”
As the day went by, the evening strolled quietly, the slow buzz of the city settling by your window, the small hums from the heater filling the room, and yet the apartment had never felt more lively, never felt more… home than today. Sure, you and Ryota had always made the place a sanctuary for the two of you, and you’ve always felt at home. When nights fell late to you, and Ryota had already fallen asleep in his pajamas, his hand still gripped his robot toys loosely. 
But today, today felt different. 
Maybe it was because you had a guest, a pro hero at that. You’ve had friends over, plenty of times too, but never a pro hero. Or maybe it was Ryota being so jolly today, singing his songs about chocolates and sprinkles. He’s been doing that for a month now. Maybe it was the way he clung to your guest, the way Aizawa made himself so easy for the boy to like him, listening to him ramble about nothing and everything, the way he agreed to grab him another scoop of ice cream, or just the way he… was there for him, present, unmoving. 
And when the night settled late, Ryota’s yawns had gained. 
Your heart fluttered with something—something you had missed, yearned to feel. Seeing your little boy, his hand still cradling his ice cream bowl sleepily, his head now resting against Aizawa’s shoulder. Seeing him, carefully—so, so carefully shifted Ryota to his arms, instantly shushing him gently when he stirred.
“Should I tuck him in?” He whispered to you, rocking the boy softly as he stood up. 
A small smile and a nod was what you managed, standing up, but then his hand slowly pushed your shoulder back down. “It’s fine, I’ll do it,” He assured.
Barely two minutes passed before he finally padded back into the room, your form still on the couch, tracing the pattern on the bowl mindlessly. He puffed next to you, quietly grunting.
Then you spoke up, “Thank you, Aizawa.”
“Hm?” He turned to you, “For what?”
“For… saving us, I never really thanked you properly.” You mumbled, stirring the melted leftover of ice cream in your bowl. 
He chuckled low, sounding more like a scoff. “I already told you, it’s just my job, y/n.” 
As you finally ushered Aizawa out the door, he slipped his ankles into the shoe, leaning to the doorway to support himself. He stood back up, and said; “Thanks for today, y/n.” Quietly, carefully. A ghost of a smile was there, present in his tired eyes.  “I uh… I mean it though, the number.”
Ahem. “Call me, or text me, if… anything happens, yeah?” 
You nodded, a hum to respond. 
It felt nice. Today felt nice. 
“Yeah, I… I will,” You replied, handing him his groceries.
“Good night, y/n.”
“Good night to you too, Aizawa.”

You can’t really remember what started your friendship with Hanta. It was a haze, an echo of memories, blurring together. But all you know is that nowadays, you’d lie around his apartment doing whatever. Sometimes it was playing stupid games on his console, reading his comics, or cooking together, or gossiping, anything. And you fell comfortable with it all, the small routine you would do together. You even bought a new toothbrush just to leave at his place in case your work caught you too late into the night, and the road just felt too scary to drive through alone. 
“It’s alright sweets, m’ always happy for a company.” He said that time, the first time you called him nervously to ask if it was okay to crash by his place. The sultry, smooth tone of his voice had always seeped through, lazy and giggly. Classically Hanta—always sounding high even when he wasn’t.
It was another one of those nights, you had only gotten off work at around midnight, and the thought of driving all the way back to your own place felt like such a drag. Hanta’s apartment was just a few blocks away. The day felt like hell anyway, you needed some form of entertainment. Your finger went autopilot as you scrolled through your contacts, immediately knowing where to stop at tap at his number. 
Beeeep… beeeep… Then a click. A small shuffling sound was heard before Hanta’s grinning voice was heard.
“Yeess, you can crash at my plaacee,” He answered immediately, knowing what your question was going to be. He chuckled before you heard him inhale, a small crackle of fire heard by the side.
You laughed, already packing your things into your bag, zipping up your laptop in its small sleeve. "Thanks, Han."
Exhale.. “Can you grab somethin’ for me though?”
“Mhm? From the grocery store?”
“Uhuh, just some milk, if ya don’t mind.”

The small apartment studio now ghosted with smokes from the small roll of paper on Hanta’s hand, flowing the grey-ish fog like river through a forest, while you busied yourself with a cup of coffee by his counter, the small metal spoon clinking to the sides of the glass as you stirred in your sugar, your mouth grumbling about your hell of a day.
“And then he yelled at me! In front of everyone!!” You exclaimed, disbelief in your voice as you looked over to him. 
“Dickhead,” He giggled, taking another drag before blowing a thick smoke to the air. “Shoulda slapped him right then and there.” 
You plopped down next to him on the couch, placing your coffee down before you huffed as you crossed your arms to your chest, throwing yourself back to the plush backrest of his couch. 
You groaned, shoulders tense. “I did everything he asked for, and he just— ugh!!” You threw your hands up, running them up your face as if that could clear your head.
Hanta’s chuckle sounded low. “Here,” His voice softly offered, nudging his hand gently to your cheek to offer you his half-smoked joint. His weed-filled smile now turned to something soft, sympathetic, almost sorry for your state.
“M’ not in the mood, Han.” You rejected, almost sounding like a low whine as you gently pushed his hand away as you leaned to his shoulder. 
“Aw,” He huffed, that stupid smile not leaving his face as he pulled the joint away.
The day’s haste caught up to you, the frustration, exhaustion, stress, yanked you by the hair, prickling tears to your eyes. And you could only grunted in anger to stop it from flowing down your cheeks. 
You choked in a sob, groaning in frustration. “Fuck, why am I—crying?”
Before you could protest, his thin hands wrapped by the other side of your shoulder, softly pulling you into his embrace as he tutted gently. “It’s okay to cry, hm?” He lazily assured, a small grin gracing his lips as his hand traced small circles on the small of your back. “Your boss's a shitload, y/n.” Hanta’s words slurred, a small hum slipping in between his words as he struggled to form coherent thoughts. “You're too pretty to be sad about him,”
Then he paused, the air only filled with your soft sniffles and his small breaths. His mind a haze, and what he thought he said in his mind suddenly slipped out of his mouth. 
“Too pretty, too good, too… everything…” 
You looked up, hands softly wiping your slight tears as you searched for his eyes between his guilty grin and weed and smoke reeked breath. 
“You’re everything, darling..” He giggled, softly brushing the back of his finger to your cheek. 
A smile graced your lips, and you slowly pulled away from his embrace, studying his face from afar. 
Silence fell upon you two, just the small sounds of cars honking outside and the fan from his bathroom whirring. Then you scoffed in amusement, “You’re so high right now” Words you said, with a chuckle.
His smile slowly faded as the words echoed in his mind, blurring to the sensation in his head. He quickly shook his head, “No, m’ not…” While smoke slightly puffed out of his mouth. His hands quickly placed the small rolled up paper, still oozing out smoke from its end. “Bein’ high’s one thing, but m’ being honest, sweets” He slurred, begging softly as he reached his hand to yours.
His hand graced yours, as you looked up to his eyes again, staring back at you were his dark, half lidded, slightly bloodshot eyes. And you couldn’t bring yourself to believe. It’s already three years since you've known him, and he’s shown you too well that he had a silver tongue. 
“Yeah?” You asked. “The same words you said to–maybe… five? Other people, hm?” Leaning your head slightly to the side. 
Hanta’s brows furrowed—confused. His elbows moved to struggle and support him from the couch. 
He stammered a few vowels before slowly rubbing his hazy eyes to look at you again. “No, no…” He waved his hand lazily, letting it drop to his lap. The other supported his seemingly heavy head, swaying slightly from side to side. “Just to you, sweets… m’ being honest here…” He continued, rasp and croak in his tone as he tried to reach for your hand again. 
You sighed, reaching for the-now-cold-cup of coffee. A small sip brought coarse and sweetness to your tongue. “Really?” You glanced at him, his form still slowly reaching for your hand as he nodded, tugging on your arm again to pull you into his embrace.
“Of course really,” His smile returned slightly, leaning his chin to your shoulder. His hand slowly snaked beneath your arm. “Always did.” He said those two words with hesitance, volume smaller than usually. He slowly buried his face to the small curve between your neck and shoulder, his breath fanned through the thin material of your shirt. And you scoffed. 
“You’re just high.”
He chuckled lazily. “Maybe,” 
“But it’s still honest, y/n.” That sounded ridiculous to you, somehow.
He fell silent again, and the small whir of the wind dancing through the open window filled the room again. His breath continued to gently greet your skin, and your finger absent-mindedly rubbed the body of your coffee cup. 
You cleared your throat, “...You’ll forget this tomorrow.” You softly mumbled, standing up to collect your bag. 
Hanta's grin stayed there for a moment longer before he realized what you were doing. Then his mind scattered, he reached out to you, stumbling over his own feet as he stood up. “N-no, no,”
His hand reached to you slowly, eyes hazy and drifting from side to side.
“Y/n, wait..” his voice came out weaker than how he wanted it to be, his vision is mixing everything up and God if he can get the weed out of his system right now, he’ll do it. 
“M’ being honest, sweets, truth,” He reached out, supporting himself to the wall as he tried to register his surroundings. Your form fell clear upon his eyes, and he could only attempt to reach for your wrist. “L-listen…”
You wrapped up the last of your things into your bag with a ziip! Before looking back at him, messy and high, half lidded and bloodshot. You grimaced. Never had his high-thoughts made you this… sad? Hesitant? Hopeful? 
“I’ll listen when you’re sober, Han” You muttered, walking to the door.
“But I’m bein’ honest, y/n, please…” 
“I just… I can’t say it… when I’m sober please… listen,”
clack.

You’re met with the same familiar—almost sickening sight of your computer in front of you. Your cubicle is a cluttered mess of papers and sticky notes, it’s almost lunch, and not once have you seen a text notification other than from your boss. Not that you were expecting a text from anyone… right?
And the day went on just like that, just like any other day. You find yourself having to do overtime again. As you finished the last sentences of the document, you glanced at your phone, it was midnight again. God, the road to your house was too far to drag yourself through, but you just couldn’t.
You just couldn’t open up that contact card to press the phone button, and ask if you could crash at his place. You can’t, and you won’t.
So you switched off the computer, rushingly picked up your earphones, your phone, and grabbed your car key before turning to the elevator, marching your way out of the empty office. 
As the elevator dinged, you stepped inside. With doubt—and hope, you checked your phone again. A small voice hoped he had called, or at least texted you. But he didn’t. You scoffed, “So he was just high.” 
The familiar lobby of the building greeted you again as you stepped out of the elevator, slowly walking towards the glass doors as you said your goodbyes to the security guards there. With a huff, your hand pushed the glass door, the midnight air greeting your face. Tears pricked by your eyes, not from the cold, you couldn’t quite place why, but you felt like crying. 
You felt like crying because today was so tiring, because you have to drive home alone,
...because he said those things while being high, and decided not to say anything the next day.
“Stupid Hanta with his stupid fucking weed, making me hope for—”
The soft crack of concrete broke you out of your sobs, you turned to your right.
And there he stood.
His stupid grin staring back at you as he swayed back and forth on his feet, his hands buried in the pocket of his hoodie. He cleared his throat, a bit louder than he had to as he walked slowly, closer to you now. 
“...M’ sorry, pretty” He softly spoke, his hand emerging slowly from his pocket to softly brush away the hair on your face, his thumb wiping your tear hesitantly.
You flinched slightly from his touch, tearing your face away, making him stare at your back. “Do you even know what you’re sorry for, Han?” 
A small moment of silence fell, broken only by the soft winds swooshing in your ear and the small crickets of the night.
You huffed, exactly. He forgot. So you opened your mouth to say—
“For… saying those things,” He caught before you. 
“...While I’m high,” He stuttered, the sound of the concrete cracking again beneath his feet as he swayed back and forth again. And that caught you silent. He remembered.
“I-I…I’m sorry,” 
He walked closer, the heat of his body slowly taunting upon your back. “Sorry for… not texting you all day,”
“I was… nervous, sweets.” He admits—almost shyly. Biting his lip in hesitation before he gently pulled your shoulder, making you turn and look at him. 
“...I was scared you’d… laugh at me,” He said, his eyes drifting to the ground before muttering, “Or somethin’..”
With a soft tug, he pulled you close, his hand finding his way to your waist, the warmth of his hands contrasting the cold night. “But I mean… everything that I said, y/n, truth.” Tender was his voice, soft and gentle as his finger slowly tilted your chin up to search upon his eyes. It felt…real now. His eyes clear as day and dark as night at the same time, his voice hoarse and low, almost desperate. 
He took a deep breath, shutting his eyes as if he’s preparing for something, “I mean it when I said you’re pretty, when I said you’re too good, too kind,”
“...Fuck, y/n, I mean it when I said you’re everything to me.”
And silence fell again, you couldn’t wipe away the disbelief written, no, painted all over your face. Your mouth parted open, closing again, opening—say something! 
So you decided that words weren’t your answer.
His world fell still when your hand slowly pulled his face close, his lips brushing upon yours before you spoke softly, “...That was all I wanted to hear, Han.” Last words he heard before he pushed himself to you, gently basking in the warmth of your lips upon his. He gently pulled you flush against him, sighing softly against your lips, he smiled. “Took you long enough,” 
You smiled, hands finding his hoodie to grip it, pulling him closer to you to kiss him again. 
“Shut up,” You giggled, finally pulling away shyly as you hid your eyes from him. 
Then he grinned, gently pulling your face to look at him again. “My place, hm?” He smiles, his thumb tracing your cheek softly, wiping the tear that stuck to your face from earlier.
“Gotta make it up for not callin’ you, hm?” That stupid grin was back, laced with something else, the cherry on top? winking at you. 
A giggle was all you managed, nodding shyly. 
He squeezed your waist just a little, snatching the car key from your hand before leading you to your car. “After you, sweets.” He ushered, opening the passenger seat. You obliged, looking back to him with a small smile and confusion lacing your eyes just slightly.
“Not gonna let you drive back,"
"Now that you’re mine, gotta treat you right, hm?”
