Colorblind - a Shinoma story

A small realization

There Tetsu was. He stood there, his gaze more focused on the ground. He wasn't really like himself. Not the same playful attitude, more serious and like he actually had something important on his mind. I couldn't help but wonder what was going on and if he was alright. Maybe we aren't the closest, but he's a friend of Kendou's and I can't let anything happen to him.

"Of course, we can talk." I say, turning toward him from my place on the roof. I even gesture him over, to which he complied to and came by.

"Well, you know Kendou best. You two have been close for so long." I nodded as he spoke, keeping quiet for now. "I've known her a little while now, but I just, I don't man. I just have this feeling around her. It seems childish to call it a crush really." He chuckled awkwardly. I blinked about it. He had a crush on Kendou? He seemed to notice this because he quickly waved his hands. "I-I'm not taking her away or anything.. promise. You two were friends long before I came in." He stated.

I gave a small smile to reassure him. He's not my favorite, but I know a good guy when I see one. "Hey, I have no issue about it. You should really talk to her about that. Let her know."

"But how? What do I say?" He asked. Honestly, I wasn't too sure. I was never deep into romance. I was always focused on my future and being the best I can ever be. I'm quite a narcissist really. "You know her best, so I thought to come to you."

I leaned back on the railing, careful not to put too much weight. "Be yourself. She really likes you how you are. You said she gives you a special feeling when you two are around one another, yes? Tell her about it. Tell her about it all. It's all or nothing man. If you never tell her then she'll never know and it may be too late by the time you're ready." I say, but as I did Shinsou flashed in my mind. That grey that surrounded him bothered me more than normal. Like it really was concealing something more. It's like I was saying advice even I should follow, not just Tetsu.

He gave his signature grin and that's definitely the Tetsutetsu I know. The energetic, fun, and loving guy that seemed to get along with many. He was a nice guy. I find myself better than a lot of people and the rest pretty annoying, but Tetsu was alright on my eyes.

"Thanks man! It's only right if I tell you how it goes then. Thanks again." He pat my shoulder and I gave a small chuckle. "Anytime." I watched him back off and seem to excitedly jog off the roof and down to the dormitory. It was very different than how he had arrived here.

I turned back out toward the city before me. I felt special things around Shinsou too. A certain longing and feeling there was more to him that related to me. Should I try that? I think I should. It was almost the end of the week by now. We'd be finishing up the project and less chance of interacting. I could come by at lunch too, but I found I wanted more.

We met up on the roof before. I found him up here enjoying a sunset. Maybe he'd agree to it one last time tomorrow when our projects were due and presented. Then maybe I could tell him what I've been feeling and see how he feels. The way his aura seems to match mine and even how I enjoy silence with him. I like silence, but when around others I always have the need to speak and do something about it.

But now with him. Shinsou was so different and in such a good way too.

I decided I really would let him know. I'd tell him tomorrow after school. I'd ask him to meet me on the roof during lunch at sunset. I'd tell him the feelings I felt and didn't fully understand. I wonder how it'd go.

I turn away finally and walked down the steps. My footsteps echoing and seeming to send a gentle, yet disruptive ripple through my thoughts. I've already made my decision and it's not like Neito Monoma to go back on what's been decided for what I'd do.

What would it bring? Only tomorrow could tell me that answer.

I rise from the dead once more-
I've lost a shit ton of interest in MHA because of the fandom, and have since switched to another (hint: my profile), but I would like to finish this story since it's the last ship I really like for it. That and y'all still read it, so I feel I should finish it for you. I've always gotten sad when a story I love on here stopped updating and didn't receive an ending. So! I'll be giving that to y'all

Hope you liked the chapter! I want to finish this by the end of summer, so I hope I can accomplish that. Next chapter should be much, much longer since it may be the last or close to last

Also at 2.99k reads as I write this so yay! Almost 3k! I remember when I first hit 500 reads and got so excited. This is really nice for me!

Anyway, imma head out. I have art to do (insta: c.ascade_) and finishing up the last bit of school work I have to do!

Take care and ily all sm — Prim ♡︎
