Past, Present, And Future - Shinsou X Reader

Chapter 3

-Shinsou POV-
You watched as Y/N skipped away. After a few moments, you let a breath put you didn't even know you were holding. You thanked the waiter and began the walk to your house. When you arrived, you heard a metallic noise to your left. Glancing over, you gasped.
"The girl from the coffee shop...why was she so friendly? She doesn't know about my quirk, that's why." You turned your attention back to your door and your mind began to drift away. You soon found that it was easy to find things to like about her, from the way she became so flustered so quickly to how she swayed from one foot to the other when she stood still.
"She's so cute..." As your thoughts registered, you slapped yourself to break away from your trance. In your panic, you dropped your keys, then your phone. You sat on your knees for a moment with your face cupped in your hands.
"Am I... Nahhhh, I just met the girl today! Snap out of it, Shinsou, snap out of it!" Sighing, you stood up and quickly picked up your things from the concrete, not bothering to check if you had them all. Once inside, you almost flew up the stairs to your room and flopped onto your bed. With your face buried in a pillow, you let out a groan of embarrassment and exasperation. You didn't know what you felt back there, but you knew it was a foreign feeling. It confused you, almost scared you. Who knew what would happen if the feeling grew, or changed at all for that matter? Was it a risk you wanted to take? You thought back to the curb, the coffee shop, and the other fleeting moments you saw her. Everything she did was like a delicate dance, so elegant and fluid, yet so sudden and unpredictable. You patted your pockets for your phone and had a mini heart attack. It wasn't there. You jumped up and slid down the stairs and were about to fling open the door when you were stopped by a light knocking on the other side. You stood still for a moment until the knock came again. After madly straightening your clothes to not look like a maniac to whoever was there, you cautiously opened the door. What you were met surprised you - it was Y/N. You stepped back and opened the door a little wider.
"Oh, hey Shinsou! Is this yours by any chance? It was laying right there." She pointed to the spot on the ground with the tip of her shoe while holding up the device. "I thought I recognized the case." To your relief, it was yours. It hadn't been stolen or destroyed. You smiled as a thank you and were about to close the door when you had an idea. It wasn't the smartest idea, but it was still an idea that you wanted to try.
"You...um... wanna come inside?"
"What?"
"Shit, was that too direct? Did I seem creepy? Or weird? Damnit, why is it so hard to talk to people?"
"D-do you wanna come inside? You don't have to if you don't want to-" You were interrupted by the sound of small, sweet laughter.
"Shinsou, your alright. Talking to people is really hard. Yeah, I'll come inside." At her words you heaved a silent sigh and opened the door completely to let her inside.

-Y/N POV-
You stepped inside and were immediately stopped by the scent. Fresh coffee, vanilla, lavender, pine, and something else that you couldn't quite put your finger on. You were about to speak up and ask when two cats came bolting down the stairs towards you and Shinsou. You knelt down and welcomed the cat that chose you. It was a caramel colored with pale splotches all over and extremely fluffy. It's eyes were absolutely stunning, one amber and the other a bright blue. You held it like a baby and sat on the floor, happy with your new friend. You looked up at Shinsou who was laughing uncontrollably.
"You good?" You questioned, stifling your laughter. His hands were on his knees for support and his shoulders were shaking with each laugh. What made you laugh was how his hair waved around with each movement. The cats looked at you, obviously unamused. In a few seconds, Shinsou straightened himself and reached over to help you help with one hand, wiping his eyes with the other.
"What did we find so funny? I was laughing because you were." You looked at him with a quizzical expression, but still laughing a bit.
Shinsou explained that he was laughing at how the cat acted around you, since that cat hated everyone. You pointed to the caramel colored cat and looked back at Shinsou. He nodded and again, you watched his hair bounce around. You snickered at it, not knowing why you found it funny. He looked at you, obviously confused. You pulled out your phone and started recording.
"Ok, ok, now nod your head." He looked at you for a moment before doing what you asked. After a few seconds, you stopped recording and showed him the clip of what you found so funny. He looked you dead in the eyes before shaking his head around, causing you to fall backwards with laughter. You laid on the floor with your sides in stitches and your face pink from the laughing. Shinsou held out his hand and you took hold of it.
"What's their names?" You pointed to the cats.
"Oh, well that one's Ellie."
"And the other one?" You looked at Shinsou with curiosity and pointed to the black cat with white circles around it's eyes. It wasn't as fluffy as the other one and it seemed to sleep a lot. Shinsou mumbled something, but you couldn't make out what it was.
"What was that?" You waited for a response and he put a hand on the back of his neck.
"Eraser.." He mumbled again, but loud enough to where you could hear him clearly this time. You were about to ask when he spoke. "I named him when I was really little so if you wanna laugh at someone, laugh at six year old me, not sixteen year old me." You couldn't help but laugh about how defensive he was.

-3 hours later-
You had watched a couple of movies with Shinsou because why not? You found out that you both like the same kinds of movies and stuff, so you made up your mind to be this guy's best friend. If you could do that, then you were okay with your accomplishments. You were... falling....asleep...

-Shinsou POV-
You were watching the movie when you felt something hit your arm. You glanced over and almost had a heart attack. Y/N had fallen asleep, and her head had landed on you. You couldn't even think straight, what was she doing to you? You didn't know, but you did know one thing - you had developed a tiny, itty-bitty, small little crush. And boy, was it acting up now.

Yeah, this is no slow burn at all. We're jumping into things suuuper quick and I love it. Remember, you are loved, and perfect in every way, shape and form. If anyone tells you otherwise, look them dead in the eyes and just '🖕' and leave them with their thoughts. I love you soooo much! (yes, I will say that every time)
