On My Mind // Shinsou x Reader

She turned fully to face him smiling shyly.
"I wouldn't mind, but me and my two left feet don't exactly get along."

He pushed his lips to the side of his face looking back into the room.
"It's okay I can take the lead if you want?"

How cute, she thought.
She shrugged as she slowly walked over to him trying to hide the unevenness of her one broken feel. Curse the stupid shoes.

"Are you oka-?"

"Yeah I good"

She stood before him slowly bringing her hands up to his shoulders, lightly gripping the padding. He fumbled with his hands at first before extending them to her waist. The whole time he had this concentrated look on his face.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

He realized the face he was making by her confused expression, and quickly replaced it with a bashful grin.
"Yeah sorry about that"

As he started to sway her slowly, he could feel the unevenness in her steps.
"Your...uh-"

"Shit" she cussed softly.
"Yeah, my uh..my heel it broke on this shoe" she felt super embarrassed, like she just wanted the earth to open up and swallow her whole. This honestly is the fucking worst.

He chuckled before gently taking hold of one of her hands and leading her back to the bench.
As she sat down, she watched as he knelt down in front of her.

"Would you mind?" He said referring to her long skirt. Still a bit confused by his gesture she slowly pulled her skirt off the ground enough to reveal the fucking cheap shoes. Talking hold of one foot he slipped her shoe off and likewise with the other.

"Damn chivalry isn't dead" she blushed covering her face.

He smirked.
"Yeah you could say this is reverse Cinderella or some shit"

She laughed a bit to loud at that joke. He then extended his arm to her.
"Wait you still wanna dance?"

"Sure"

She rolled her eyes, though still smiling and took hold of his hand. In a quick movement he brought her close and rested his hands back on her waist.

This time when she tried to reach for his shoulders, she barley could. Trying tippy toes, she managed to get her hands slightly over.

How much more embarrassing can this night get?

Seeing her struggle, though she tried to hide it, he slightly leaned in decreasing his height.
A blushing mess she turned her head away as she gripped his shoulder pads tighter.
"Thanks"

"Don't mention it." He grinned slowly shaking his head.

Getting into the rhythm of the recurring and some what extended version of this song they began to awkwardly sway.
It seemed unnatural at first, but slowly she got the hang of his movement and followed.
The silence was eating them both up alive and before long it seemed like a never ending nightmare.

"So can we talk about something?" He finally asked his eyes up on the moon.

"Please." She more thanked than answered before continuing.
"I'm not good with the whole romantic vibe. Not that this is romantic, because we just met but I'm sure we're friends at least I mean you didn't come with a date so it's not bad that we're dancing together. Not! Not that you need a date or anything.. oh my god please bring up any topic to shut my rambling before I say anymore embarrassing shit" She said, most of it under one breath.

"Oh well..uh.. let's see..what do you do in your free time?"

"Hm well most of the time I hang out with Bakugou, Mina, Kiri, Sero, Denki and Jirou. Like some chaotic club if you will."

"Yeah... I only know like half of those people"

"Well when I'm not with them I usually read. Anything form Shakespeare to comics really."

"Ahh so your a bookworm. I fancy a little bit of reading myself. I'm also a bit of a cyclist as well."

Y/n bought herself to look up at him.
"Ok your not gonna believe this and please don't laugh at me but I can't ride a bike. "

His eyes widened as his cheeks filled slightly with air holding in an enormous laughter.

"I said don't laugh!"

"I'm not. I just- what did you do your whole childhood to not of learnt how to ride a bike. That's like..it's like a right of passage or something."

"Look I remember trying, falling, crying and then never again" she said as if it were something to be proud of.

"Aw poor baby" he mocked before chuckling deeply.

She brought her right hand down to his arm and squeezed tight.

"Ah! What is it with you and violence?"

"What is it with you and annoying me?"

"That's doesn't.. ok anyway. Uh.. favorite animal?"

"Cats" they both said in union.

"Don't copy me!" She whined.

"Trust me I'm not. I've always like cats, heck I spend most nights watching cat videos on YouTube. I even sketch them sometimes."

"You can draw?" She asked curiously.

"I wouldn't call it drawing, rough sketches actually."

Wow, she thought. There was so many interesting things about this boy that she'd learnt, and she only just met him. Is that normal? I mean they both looked like the kind of people many would avoid, maybe that's why they got along. Two negatives makes a positive?

Putting on a fake accent she put a hand on her forehead dramatically.
"I want you to draw me Shinsou, draw me-"

"Like one of my French girls?"

Her eyes widened as her mouth gaped open.
"Oh my god! I can't believe you got that!! People don't usually get that reference." She said happily as her hand went back to his shoulder.

He raised as eyebrow still smirking.
"How could they not? Titanic is one of the classics."

"Let me guess your also a sucker for old movies too?" She grinned.

"You talking iconic like Breakfast Club or sequels and adaptations like Godzilla?"

She was absolutely speechless.

Shinsou saw her expression and as per usual took it the wrong way.
"Yeah I know it sounds weird but I'm a bit of an insomniac, so coffee and streaming tacky movies is one of my go to's of a ‪Friday night‬."

"That's it. That's fucking it. We're getting married." She jokingly said adding in a wink.

"Wow I ask her girl to dance and now I have a wife, wait no this wouldn't work." He said closing his eyes, his face going back to a serious one.

"Why not?"

Opening his eyes, irises glistening in the moonlight he whispered.
"My wife would need to know how to ride a bike. It's mandatory. "

They both laughed at their now inside joke, but Y/n never took her eyes off his. They were absolutely mesmerizing. He noticed and his eyelids hung low as his stared back into her e/c ones.
"You have really pretty eyes" she almost purred.

"Likewise" he whispered back.

Y/n started to get this funny feeling in her chest. It felt like her whole body was mimicking her increased heartbeat.

Everything feels..oddly good.
