"You don't have to tell me who it is." Ojiro said sorrowfully, hushing you quietly as his jaw clenched in jealousy. "I just hope that Shinsou's able to protect you well enough."

Bolting upright at the shock of his name, your jaw dropped. "Shinsou?!"

Ojiro cocked his head to the side. "Isn't it him?"

You shook your head so fast that he felt the air whip around him from the force of your hair flying.

"Todoroki?"

Another head shake, faster than the last.

"Sato?"

No.

"Shoji?"

No.

"Kaminari?"

No.

"Bakugou?"

No!!

Ojiro was running out of options. "Then who? Is he in our grade?"

"It's you!!" You blurted out in frustration, unable to prevent yourself from holding back any longer.

Ojiro's entire body tensed in shock, his eyes going wide at your confession and the hands on your waist stilled as he sucked in a sharp breath.

You pounded your fists on his chest, your head falling on his shoulder, unconsciously leaning into him and seeking him out as your anxiety took over.

"You dummy." You mumbled, shaking in fear of a rejection.

You should've been more prepared for this. As the time ticked by, he still failed to say anything in response and your heart was going into overdrive.

Pushing his hands away, you tried to untangle from him but that apparently disrupted whatever trance he was in because his arms tightened around you, preventing you from getting up.

"No, wait—" Ojiro protested, his mind spiraling as he tried to collect his thoughts before you could leave. "Y/N!!"

Your skin prickled with unease at hearing him call it out so panicked, like he was afraid he'd lose you. You were the one who was worried about that, why should he care so much?

"It's fine." You sniffled, wiping your nose furiously with the back of your hand as you attempted to backpedal again, only to be stopped by his strong arms. "Ojiro-san, let go—"

"Mashirao." Ojiro corrected brokenly. "You... My name, call me by my given name."

You swallowed hard, shaking your head against his shoulder as he squeezed you closely to him and you squirmed. You thought you had lost that privilege to call him by his first name, the intimacy a sour taste in your mouth as you realized that some other girl would get to call him that one day.

"Y/N."

You stopped fighting against him but refused to meet his gaze.

Ojiro's hand slid under your jaw, tipping your head up and this close, you could see his eyes shining with emotion.

"It's you." He murmured breathlessly, his eyes softening as they filled with the deepest amount of pure love. "It's always been you, Y/N."

Gasping, you nearly choked as he rested his forehead against yours, his warm breath puffing out over your cheeks and you giggled uncontrollably as he pulled your legs across his, tucking your head under his chin.

"You were talking about me?"

The disbelief in his voice had you wiggling out from under him.

"Yeah," You blushed, thinking about how much you gushed about him before he actually knew that you were referring to him. You thought it was obvious that you were talking about him. "Was— I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable."
