I know the previous A/N was a pain to read and that is because me at the time was a very dumb me being all nerdy and stuff. It probably won't even be that big of a deal. It's just that I don't want to bother making quirks for everyone so either the story will have no quirks or maybe only a handful get quirks.


In this oneshot, the reader is thin, short and a bit weak in terms of physical ability. 

I feel that there are too many anime where the main male protagonist gets buff and strong and it makes me feel like all the thinner and weaker people in real life are just left to dream of being that strong or looking that muscular but never actually being able to achieve it in their life (I mean they could obviously but some just don't have the motivation to). 

3rd person POV

It was end of the school day, the last class having dismissed the students just a moment ago. One student, Denmaru Tenten, sprang up from his seat and started going around the classroom inviting everyone to a game night. "Yo guys! It's Friday! And we don't have much stuff to do so... why don't we have game night?" 

"Ooh Yeah I'm in!" "Sounds cool! I'm in too!" Gan and Fuyuki chimed in.

"What time though?"

"I guess 19:30 should be ok with everyone, right?" Denmaru answered.

"Sweet! Nozomi and I are coming!" Funadori happily replied dragging a tired Nozomi to her desk to help her pack her bags.

"Great! I'll have Funadori bring the snacks and Gan bring the games. Fuyuki, can you bring your CDs?"

"Yep Sure thing!" He said as he turned to Y/N to ask him if he'll join in. 

"Sure yeah I'll join you guys. Lemme ask Natsuo if he's coming too."

"Ooh targeting your crush huh? I see watcha doin'." Fuyuki winked as Y/N rolled his eyes, already getting up to ask Natsuo (who agreed of course).

It took a little more convincing for the class representative Tamagawa Daishi to let everyone join in. He reluctantly agreed on the condition that if things went too far or it was getting late, then he would end the so called party.

It was scheduled to 19:30 to allow early-sleepers to still get to play at least a little bit. And so it was set. They'd play a little bit of truth or dare and never have I ever and then move on to some video games later on. Everyone was free to take snacks, eat whatever, or watch movies with Fuyuki's permission to borrow CDs. They could even stay with their friends if they like. It was all meant for everyone to have fun and not worry about schoolwork for the time being. With that, the class went in their separate ways.


Natsuo's POV

Y/N ask me if I wanted to join the game night with most of Class 1-B. Of course I agreed, I mean who wouldn't want to spend some time relaxing and having fun right?

Since it wasn't until 19:30, I decided to have some snacks and some much needed rest. After all, this week has basically been torture with all the assignments and deadlines and I'll bet everyone's been pulling all-nighters for the last few days or so. Anyway, I took my bags and started walking to the dorms when Y/N ran after me, panting.

"Natsuo why would leave me like that!" Y/N asked. He tried to look sad and pout but almost couldn't hold his laughter.

"What do you mean like that? I literally just left the school like a normal person!"

"Whatever, just don't leave me alone like that again! You know how Fuyu is like, teasing me all the time!"

"Fine fine, whatever you say." I couldn't help the smile playing across my cheeks. Something about Y/N just keeps my smiling like a total idiot and having my stomach do flips. Maybe it was the way he looked? Was it his personality? I don't know, and right now, all I can think about is food. I'm hungry.

Anyway, we walked together into the dorms. Y/N would go fix his things while I went to get some food for myself. He asked me to bring him a bowl of instant noodles so I went to prepare those as well. When I went to his room, I was surprised to see him with his hair dripping wet, towel around his neck, shirt on and putting on a hoodie. Looks like he just took a quick shower. I knocked on his open door to let him know someone was coming in.

He accepted his noodles and invited me in to sit on his bed while he sat on his desk eating noodles. A comfortable silence fell around us as I casually ate my yogurt and took some tiny peeks at him while he wasn't looking. 


Y/N's POV

We sat together eating our own food but I felt as if someone was staring at me. I already knew that I had a crush on Natsuo but never bothered to act on it. I mean look at me, I'm thin and a bit short, I don't have enough muscle, and I certainly don't look "hot". Still, part of me really wishes I could be with Natsuo.

"Natsu stop staring." I blurted out without thinking. From the corner of my eye, I saw him look away to the poster I hung on the opposite side of the room. He seemed to flush a bit red.

"Yo, you ok? You look hot, you don't have fever do you?"

"NO! I mean! No, no no, I'm fine. Perfectly fine I swear!"

"Hmm Ok whatever you sa-" "Holy shit did I just call him Natsu a second ago?" This realization hit me like a bullet. I've been trying not to let it be obvious that I like him, but calling him Natsu? Oh god, he probably knows now!

I stood up slurping the last of my noodles while immediately flushing red as well. I grabbed his empty cup and spoon and ran downstairs to the kitchen, trying to get away from his presence and further embarrassing (exposing) myself. I calmed myself down by washing my hands and splashing a bit of water on my face by the sink. 


3rd person POV

Meanwhile, Natsuo awkwardly stood up and sent a text to Y/N saying that he'd be going back to his dorm and getting some sleep. Natsuo has been thinking quite a lot lately and some silence is just what he needs in order to sort his thoughts out.

"Did Y/N just call me Natsu? I mean Fuyumi calls me that sometimes and it isn't that special. So why then do I feel like melting and squealing into a pillow!? That doesn't make sense! Isn't that something the girls would do if they had crushes and boyfriends and all that? What in the world? Nah I don't have a crush on him right? I mean I've never had to think about my sexuality in a long time but his presence just makes me feel soo... light and happy as if he was what made my days great. Don't get me wrong my days are perfectly normal, there are the good and the bad, but I feel like just his presence would make my day slightly better. Ok does that make him a good friend? What counts as a crush?"

As you can see, Natsuo's got a lot of thinking to do. 

He ended up wasting his sleeping time to call his sister, maybe even text Kodai for some advice (Kodai's got a girlfriend). It didn't take long for him to finally conclude that he had a crush on Y/N. To him, the exact details were still murky, like what he likes about him, or whether it truly was a crush or just pure admiration. He still had to confirm some feelings of his but at least he knows now that Y/N is someone special.


A/N: God I still suck at writing :((

(not me projecting myself into this story.)

There will be a part 2. The only thing between you and being able to read it is whether I manage to finish said part 2.
