Don't Tell A Soul (Shouta Aizawa X Reader)

10. A Small Big Victory

I was walking back from my exams. I felt like walking. I thought it might calm me down while I walked there and back.

Shouta was probably still at my place. He hadn't actually left, since that night at that warehouse.

He insisted on staying to support me for my exams, or something like that anyway.

I wasn't gonna get the results of my exam for another one or two days.

I think he was warming up to me. In more of a person way. Less then the sexual way that he had already been.

Today was cloudy. I'm pretty sure it might rain today. I hope it does. I really like the rain. It's just so calming. It feels like everything just stops. Nothing can get in the way of rain. It's just so soothing.

I think I did pretty well on my exam. I got a bunch down. Shouta had helped me with some of the stuff I was struggling with.

He's a true teacher. It's really been beaten into him.

I feel like he really did help a lot though. I don't think I would have done as well in the exam if Shouta didn't help me.

The clouds were rolling in as I walked home. I walked for about another 20 minutes before I started feeling droplets of water land on my skin.

I looked up to the sky to admire the clouds above.
"Maybe it'll be a storm. If I'm lucky it will be." My head soon fell as I tripped over a rock on the path. I fell to my knees, using my hands to brace myself.

Ouch!

I scrapped my knees on the concrete. That really hurt.

The rain started pouring down.

Blood ran down my legs as I stood up.

I looked at the rock that tripped me up. I kicked it aside, not wanting to look at it.

I stood there, completely still, in the rain for a moment. Tears. For whatever reason. Tears started flowing down my checks. If I couldn't feel my eyes burning I wouldn't even know.

I started walking. Wiping the tears away. I didn't understand why I was crying. But I don't know if I really wanted to know.

I carried on my walk. Getting closer to my house. To the warmth. To the man I had been waiting to see since I left.

I wiped the last of the tears I had shed away. I walked faster. I wanted to get back.

I was at my front door. I opened the door. I saw Shouta putting dished away from the sink.

Was he cleaning?

A smell formed up my nose. And it smelt amazing. I looked away from Shouta and down at the counter. There sat a single plate of stir fry.

"Hi" Shouta put away the last of the dishes.
"I didn't know you could cook. It smells great."
"Why don't you ever just say Hi back?"
"Can I have some?" I said ignoring his question.

Shouta rolled his eyes at me before going to go sit down on the couch.

"I ready ate. That ones yours, I figured you be getting home around this time."
I walked over to the draws behind the counter and grabbed a fork out.

"You're amazing, thank you" I said grabbing the plate and walking to where Shouta was.

"You're welcome. How'd your exam go?" I shuffled between the coffee table and the couch and sat on Shoutas lap facing him.

"I think I did really good. I also think I wouldn't have done as well if you didn't help me." I took a big mouthful between sentences.

I felt like I was in Food Wars. This was incredible.
"Mmmmm! Shouta!" I took another bite.
"Calm down your only sitting on my lap." Shouta smirked at his own joke.

"Shut up, I just mean your foods good. Jerk."

"Yea whatever, brat." Shouta said pulling me further up his lap using my Thighs.

He looked down at my legs. "What happened to you? Are you alright?" Concern traced his usually so monotone voice as his hands brushed my knees.

"Yea I'm fine, I just tripped and grazed my knees on my way home." I took another big bite of the stir fry in my hands.

"If you say so." The concern on his face very slowly dissolving into his normal stare.

I set my plate aside after a few more bites and leant in to give Shouta a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I laid my head on his shoulder.

"You should make me dinner more often." I looked back up to Shouta. I let go and continued on eating the delicious meal he had created for me.

Eating this, reminded me of Gray. I haven't talked to him in awhile. I should text him.

Shouta let me finish my food before he pulled my face down to his and pressed his lips into mine. Furiously making out with me.

I pulled away to speak. "That came out of no where."
"When doesn't it ever?"
He continued kissing me. Our tongues tracing circles around eachother.

***

"SHOUTA" I shouted far louder then I needed to.
"What?" He seemed unfazed by my volume.

I had fucking aced my exam.
"I got a fucking A- on my exam. I'm amazing"
"(Y/N), that's incredible, I'm so proud of you" His nonchalant attitude breaking halfway through his words.

"Thank you so much for your help Sho" the nickname slid in there without a thought.

"I uhh, I- I mean Shouta.."
"It's fine, I don't mind. I kinda like it when you say it."
My face was definitely red. My face felt red.

I have no clue why I'm getting so worked up over a nickname, but I am.

"T-this is a big part of my grade! So considering I did so well on this, I should do well over too." This victory was huge for me. I was gonna be proud of this for ages.

"Do you want me to make you some celebratory dinner (Y/N)?" I'm pretty sure Shouta knew the answer to that question.

"Of course!"

"Alrighty, pork fried rice for dinner." Shouta rolled his sleeves up and put his hair up in his messy half bun. He looked so attractive when his hair was like that.

It framed his face so perfectly. Exaggerating his jawline and giving his face just an overall better view.
You could really see him.

"You look like you're ready for anything."

"I am, I'm Eraserhead after all."

What a dork.

Shouta got to work in my kitchen, cutting up veggies and and pork. I love fried rice. I'd never tried Shoutas fried rice though. I'm sure it's gonna be delicious.

I watched as he concentrated on his cooking. He had so many talents. He kept them all so hidden from the world though.

The sound of the gas stove being turned on caught my attention. I had really been watching him this whole time.

I truly could fall for this man. For this hunk of a man.

For this old hook up of mine.

The smells of the tendered veggies caught me in a trance. I don't think I could ever be this good at cooking.

He added the pork rice and veggies all together, and it looked and smelt absolutely mesmorising.

"Here you go" Sho handed me a plate with a satisfied look on his face.
"Why thank you chief." I said with a silly voice.

Shouta came around the counter and sat next to me. We sat there chatting and eating together.

Moments like these, we're the moments I lived for. And people like this, were the people I lived for.

What are we again?

I forgot.
