Thicker Than Blood (A My Hero Academia Fanfic)

Nighteye's Agency

I woke up a sweaty mess but this time it wasn't just from a nightmare. I was burning alive in the onesie. Luckily I was wearing shorts and a tank top underneath. I undressed and looked to the other girls. All peacefully asleep and probably sweating to death as well. I grabbed my phone to check the time. Then I saw a message from Shoto. It was from ten minutes ago. He asked if I was up. I messaged back that I was. He told me he couldn't sleep and was downstairs in the common room if I want some company. I thought over it for awhile and decided that I wasn't probably going to get much more sleep anyhow. So I threw my onesie over my shoulder and headed down to the common room.

He was relaxed on the couch, reading a book. "Hey....," I greeted and he closed his book. "Good morning," he smiled. "morning," I let out softly. He patted the sofa for me to come sit and presented me with an ear bud. "I know you like this song. Wanna listen to it?" I tilted my head at him. "What song?" He smiled. "That's a surprise, come here and listen," I did as he said and sat down next to him. He started to play the song and I was shocked he even knew I liked this song. "I heard you singing it one time and wrote down some of the lyrics so I could find it," I looked into his beautiful mitch match eyes. I blushed and looked down. "You heard me singing?" He chuckled. "Your voice is beautiful," I blushed more and took a deep breath. "Use the sleeves of my sweater. Let's have an adventure. Head in the clouds but my gravities center," "Touch my neck and I'll touch yours," he said with me and I gasped. He held my hand and we sang the rest of the song together. Afterwards I gently kissed him on the cheek as a thank you. He cleared his throat, blush staining his cheeks. He looked around to the dead quiet room.

"I think Mina has some kind of radar," it was such an odd thing to just blurt out. I couldn't help but laugh a little. "Do I even wanna know what you're talking about?" He got closer to me. "Every time I build up the courage to try and kiss you. She always interrupt, or is that just me?" I thought a moment. "You have a point," it was my turn to get closer. "But I'm pretty sure I saw her drooling when I left her," I paused. "So if someone wanted a chance to do something. I-I-I'd say it's a good time," I stuttered, my nerves started getting to me. I was trying to act confident but the closer we got to each other. The more anxious I became.

"Is that an invitation?" He whispered in a low voice as he got closer. My heart was racing and my mind blanked. "If.....you want.....it to....be," I was barley about to get out. He paused right before our lips touched and closed his eyes. I followed suit, then our lips touched. My whole body felt like it was on fire. He pulled back from each other and opened our eyes. I was pleased to see he was as bashful as I was. A smile crept on my lips and I brought my hands to my face. "I!......need to use the restroom," I ran to the girls bathroom and looked in the mirror. I was so red in my face it looked as though I could burst at any moment. I started getting giggly and I couldn't hold back my child like joy. I jumped a bit to get some of the giddiness out of my system. I took some deep breaths to try and not look a fool to him. But I was still super giddy.

I walked out of the bathroom, like I didn't just act like a love struck idiot, and took my seat back on the couch. He had brought some water and already chugged his bottle. "Everything alright?" I nodded. "Yeah just needed to uh," how would I explain what I just did? "Well um," I blanked again. "I just need to cool my face with some cold water," he grabbed his empty water bottle. "I guess I did the same," we both were just smiling at nothing really. I guess you'd say we're content? "I wanted to kiss you more, but I couldn't handle it," he admitted. "My quirk was acting up and I was scared I'd light the couch on fire," the last part made me die laughing. I started to imagine him accidentally lighting it and us panicking trying to explain how the couch caught ablaze. "Sorry I was just imagining if those events had unfolded," he let out a chuckle of his own. I rested my head on his shoulder and took some sips of my water bottle. Before I knew it I drifted off to sleep.
