Kiss Me

Chapter Three

Ever since the incident, Sero has felt uneasy ever since. He keeps getting distracted easily and struggles to concentrate as well as comprehend. "Yo Sero, what's up with you?" He looks up to see a toothy smile and spiky red hair. "How did you know..?" The latter stares at his friend in confusion. "How did I know what?" Sero gulps as he places his head on his hands.

"How did you know you liked Kaminari?" Kirishima gets taken aback before snapping back into reality. He ponders and thinks before taking a seat next to his distraught friend. "Hm, I'm not sure." Sero groans as he places his head on his desk.

Kirishima continues, "I guess I just knew." Sero grumbles and stares daggers at his friend. "That helps so much", he speaks up sarcastically. Kirishima chuckles before rubbing his nape.

"I mean- I knew I liked him when I realised how happy he makes me. I knew because I wanted him to talk to me more, and touch me more. I yearned for it", he explains as he stares at his occupied boyfriend. "I wasn't entirely sure until we got closer. And when he came over to read manga with me at his dorm, it hit me." The spiked-haired student stares at the blonde with hearts in his eyes. "I knew I wanted him to be mine."

Sero stares at his friend in awe. He turns away to stare at the greenette talking with Todoroki, laughing and chatting away. Their bodies basically touching, with wide smiles, and small physical gestures. He looks away, hurt by the sight of the two friends so close to each other.

"Why do you ask?" Sero snaps back to reality and gazes back at his friend. He sighs, "I think I like someone..." Kirishima nods understandingly. "I knew Midoriya caught your eye, but I honestly thought it'd take a while for you to notice."

Sero looks at the latter in shock as he hushes him. "H-How did you-" he stutters in a panic. "It was obvious!" Mina speaks up as she approaches the two. "Yeah, I mean the beginning of this year, you just gave off this vibe, you know?" Kaminari speaks up as he stands behind Kirishima and leans on his neck. "You were practically staring at him with hearts in your eyes", Jirou coos as she crosses her arms and smirks smugly at the latter. "It's disgusting to see you fawn over the nerd."

Sero's eyes widen as he looks at the group in dismay. Before he can speak up, a voice appears. "Good morning, everyone", to Sero's horror, Midoriya is there standing next to him. He turns cherry red as he turns around to cover up his embarrassment—the rest snicker at their blushing friend.

Midoriya stares at the black-haired student in confusion before shrugging it off. "Kacchan, wanna come over to my house next weekend? Mum and auntie say they wanna see us again." Bakugo groans, "what the hell does the old hag want?" Midoriya pouts and holds Bakugo's hands and grins brightly, "please? They both miss us, and it would be a shame if I go there all by myself."

Sero gathers himself together to see the two being close to each other. Too close. Bakugo groans, "all right all right! Get your stupid hands away from me, you damn nerd. You're too tall to be acting like a child." With a height difference of roughly fourteen centimetres, Midoriya is now practically towering over his childhood friend.

The freckled student hugs the latter before thanking him. "See you guys I'm going to go back to Todoroki-kun", he states as he looks at everyone. His eyes land on the dark-haired student, and winks. "See you Sero-kun."

Sero blushes, much heavier than before. His friends stare at him and smile widely. Mina wiggles her eyebrows, "he totally digs you too, Sero!" Kaminari nods, "make a move the next time you see each other!" Sero grumbles as he looks at the group, flustered. "But what about-" he stares at Bakugo as the latter tilts his head. "The nerd isn't interested in me, idiot. Don't fucking worry about it."

Sero looks at the greenette as a determined look creeps up on his face.

All students are seated in the classroom, and most listen intentively to the teacher. The few not being role model students include Sero.

Sero thought about what his friends had said. "Was it really that obvious?" Sero thinks before blushing in embarrassment at the thought of Midoriya catching on. Sero turns to his left and watches as Midoriya's eyes glisten in the sun and his hand scribbling away neatly in his notebook. Sero would call the latter cute if it weren't for his change in build. Now the only thing that can be used to describe his love interest is handsome... and hot.

Sero's eyes widen as he quickly averts his eyes and tries to draw his attention to the front. His cheeks flush a bright pink at the adjective he just thought of to describe his classmate. He turns back to the greenette before rapidly regretting his decision as he finds the latter noticing him and grinning kindly.
