Chapter 15 🍋

•••WARNING: LEMONS

"Can you repeat it again?"

"Geez, you made me say it for five times now, Shou," my laughter follows, entertained at the child-like Aizawa Shouta who has made me confess over and over again. I would've been embarrassed but every time I say it, he'd always reply with "really?" like he can't believe it at all.

"I'm sorry, it's just... I can't wrap my head around it," he confides pulling me closer to him. Adjusting myself to find a comfortable spot, I rested my head on his chest. I have a feeling that he has a lot to tell.

"You better believe it. Everyone knows about it you know- even your students. I'm quite amazed how you didn't even notice when they told me I'm so transparent," I commented while finding his hand and entwine it together.

"I've noticed it. Just recently though. I always thought you and Oboro had a thing going on so I never pursued my feelings for you."

I felt time freeze when I heard him. He felt me stiffen and that urged him to push me gently away from him so we are now looking at each other's eyes. Upon seeing his face, that's when I am hit with what he said again. With a bounding heartbeat, I tried to confirm what he just confessed.

"W-what did you just say?"

His eyes have a gentle glint in them and his touch on my cheek is so delicate that it only adds to the sweet anticipation I'm feeling. Is- is this gonna be it? Is he going to say the words I've been wanting to hear?

With a nervous exhale, his sweaty palm on my cheeks and eyes filled with sincerity he said,

"L/N F/N, I may have to borrow your words but, I too, am in love with you since high school."

Staring at his black depths that had always sucked me in every time, I came to comprehend his words.

Love?

He's in love with me?

He's in love with me!

Unadulterated happiness filled me that it never occurred to me that I'm crying tears of joy until Shouta wiped them.

"Say it again!" I demanded.

"I have loved you for a long time,"

"Again!"

"You're all I think of every time."

I burst out laughing despite the tears that decorate my face. I am so happy that my chest hurt out of the joy I felt. Finally, after all these years, my dream came true. Aizawa Shouta has always been my dream. Staring at him- who's still wiping my tears- I realized that even if it took us a lot of years, it's all worth it. He's worth it.

I believe that things happen for a reason. Maybe our love is not meant to happen until the right time. And the time has finally come now. All those years spent in bitter wishful thinking led to this moment that feels so sweet I got a high from it.

"What are you thinking?" I snapped out of my thoughts when he asked barely in a whisper. Leaning slightly closer to his face I answered,

"I am so happy. I am in love with you," I whispered back with all the emotions I'm feeling right now. A ghost of a smile appeared on his lips and his forehead touched mine.

"As I am in love with you too."

This brings me heaven and my eyes instantly closed when he continues to lean closer. When his lips touched mine, it's like we kissed for the first time even though it's not. I felt the longing and desperation at the same time as he fervently sucked on my bottom lip while occasionally plunging his tongue in my mouth.
