Be My Valentine - A short Eraserjoke story

Be my Valentine💌

It was the 13th of February, 1 day away from Valentine's day. It was Emi's favourite time of the year, even though she didn't really have someone to spend it with.. She liked seeing the happy couples with their wide smiles, giving each other gifts. Seeing smiles was her favourite thing. She has seen each person that she met smile because of her personality, and that made her proud. But there was always.. This one exception. That one person, who refused to give a smile, or even a smirk, at least not a genuine one. He would mostly give sarcastic smirks or creepy smiles. They were never genuine. She was unable to use her quirk on him, because he, who's name is, Shōta Aizawa, was always one step away from erasing her quirk. That just made her excited, because she would have to make him smile without using her quirk, and she accepted the challenge.

It was 7:49PM and Emi was taking a stroll without her hero costume. She was wearing a simple green hoodie that matched with her hair colour, and some black baggy pants. She didn't have her bandana on. She had her hair on a high ponytail instead and wore white sport shoes. She went inside a cafeteria and ordered a black coffee for herself. Around 10 minutes passed and her coffee was brought and she paid for it. She then saw the waiter head outside to take another order. She stared at the person who was ordering but because of the glass reflection she couldn't make out who it was. She only saw a fully black clothed figure, with black hair.

'A pale figure.. Black clothes.. doesn't look like he is smiling.. Could it be?"

She then grabbed her coffee from the table about to head outside. The waiter was done with the order and went back inside. Emi opened the cafeteria door and just like she expected, the man with the black clothing, the black hair, the

'beautiful..'

Black eyes with that sharp shape. It was exactly the one she wanted to bump into. Although Aizawa probably didn't think the same way. He definitely didn't think the same way..

"BOO!"

"Gh!"

The man got startled and jumped almost dropping his coffee on him. Emi bursted out of laughter. She had never properly scared him before. One item off her bucket list. Aizawa without didn't turn to see who it was. He knew exactly who it was. He scowled and was angrily mumbling to himself. Meanwhile Emi was still laughing in the background.

"Joke.." He soon spoke again, with an obviously annoyed voice.

"That's me! But you can call me by my name when we are not on duty, you know that!"

"Don't get you hopes up." He replied, barely audible, but still audible.

Emi thought for a while. Thinking if she should ask. She probably knew what the answer would be but still..

"Can I.. Call you by *your* name.. Outside.. When not on.. Duty.." She asked in a nervous voice.

Aizawa was surprised to hear that she wanted to call him by his name. He was so used to the "ErAsEr! eRaSeR!" That he wasn't sure of what to respond, but.. He nodded. Emi widened her eyes.

"W-wait! Was that a nod?! Was that a yes?! I can!??!" She asked, thinking she just misunderstood but..

"Sure.." Aizawa responded again, putting his hand behind his head, not looking at her. There was a tiny moment of silence and Aizawa cleared his throat. When he was about to speak he stopped, seeing a big wide smile up to her ears taking over Emi's face. He tried to speak again but then Emi cut him off.

"Shōta" She said in a gentle voice, with a gentle smile, taking Aizawa by surprise. But his surprised look quickly faded. Emi was still smiling gently and looking at him. He cleared his throat once again and looked away.
