Friends to lovers... - Shinso x Female Reader

6

'Are you sure you're okay, Y/n?' Your best friend asks softly, you nod and Recovery Girl kisses your forehead to heal the pain and stiffness. 

'Thanks.' You mumble and stand up before the two of you leave, your first fight was with Todoroki but Hitoshi's fight was first as it was against Midoriya. He arrives at the hall he was meant to wait in and you watch him as he nervously fidgets with his fingers, you rest a hand on his shoulder and he looks at you. 'You'll do great.'

'You said that earlier.'

'I know, and look, we won all thanks to you.' A small smile appears on Hitoshi's face and you reassuringly squeezed his shoulder. 

'Now it's time for the final challenge! The first round is Class 1-A's Izuku Midoriya vs our Race and Calvary Battle winner Hitoshi Shinso!' Mic exclaims through the speakers, you watch as Hitoshi stroll onto the field with his hands in a fist. Come on Hitoshi, you can do this. '3...2...1... BEGIN!' Midoriya darts towards Shinso with focused eyes and a determined smile. 

'Class 1-A students are pathetic,' Hitoshi huffs, narrowing his eyes at Midoriya who instantly stops but doesn't respond. 'Like seriously, two Class 1-C students beat you twice in a row and you didn't do anything about it.'

'We tried-!' Midoriya instantly stops talking and freezes, his eyes were blank and his breathing stopped for a moment before it became heavy. A smirk crawls onto Shinso's face as he quirked an eyebrow. 

'You fell for that? Again? Come on Midoriya, I thought you knew better than that. Now, walk out of the ring.' He orders and Izuku swings around and starts strolling towards the edge of the ring. 

'DON'T LISTEN TO HIM MIDORIYA!'

'COME ON! BREAK FREE!'

'YOU CAN DO IT DEKU!' The boy was about to step out of the ring when he suddenly stops, Hitoshi narrows his eyes in confusion before his finger becomes purple. 

'What the-'

'It's true that you beat us twice in a row,' he says as he turns around and looks at Shinso. 'But it doesn't mean I can't beat you right now!' The Class 1-A student runs towards your best friend and he swings his fist and punches Midoriya in the face, causing him to stumble but then Shinso grabs Midoriya's arm and throws him over himself before throwing him to the ground, causing Izuku to grunt in pain. Deku sweeps his feet and Shinso also grunts as he hits the ground harshly, a green lightning-like substance flicks around his arms as he starts punching Shinso in multiple spots. Shinso managed to slip from underneath Midoriya and knees face roughly which makes him unconscious. 

'The winner is... HITOSHI SHINSO FROM CLASS 1-C!!' The crowd cheers loudly and Hitoshi walks off the field, he strolls to the waiting room that you were in and opens the door. You look at him and stand up, he wraps his arms around you and buries his head in your shoulder which made you stiffen slightly. 

'Thank you.' He mumbles and you slowly hug him back, a long moment passes before he sighs. 'I am in so much pain.' You instantly pull out of the embrace with a worried expression and Hitoshi chuckles. 

'Do you want me to heal you?' 

'It's better than the old lady.'

'I have 10-15 minutes before my fight so I should be done by then,' you say with a yawn. 'Where does it hurt?'

'Top half.' 

'Right...' 

'You seem... embarrassed?'

'Well,' you say with a slight blush as you look away. 'Your shirt and jacket would set on fire if my fire touched it.' Hitoshi's face turns red as well and he looks at the ground.

'Um... w-well, if it helps then I-I'm fine with it.' He stutters, you look at him and he sits down. 

'O-Okay.' God, why am I stuttering? You both think at the same time, Hitoshi takes his jacket and shirt off and you blush heavily as you see his slightly ripped body. A small flame appears in your hand and you move your hand towards the injuries, he winces at the heat as you begin healing the large wound. He suddenly grabs your arm as he hisses in pain when you move it to an extremely painful spot on his chest, you could see his blush slowly get redder as you were touching his chest. You were finally done and he releases you and you pull away with embarrassment and a blush on your face, Hitoshi quickly puts his shirt and jacket on and neither of you speak for a long moment. 

'The next round is going to start in five minutes, fighters, please get ready!' The pro hero calls over the speaker, Hitoshi stands up and you both walk down to the hallway you were supposed to be in. 

'Hey, don't be nervous.'

'I can't help it, Hitoshi and you know that.' You respond as you look at him. 'Half n half could easily beat me as he did in the Calvary Battle.'

'He only beat you because you had limited movement. Holding someone up and trying to fight isn't exactly easy, Y/n.' He says softly and you sigh quietly as you knew he was right.

'It's time for the next match!! On one side we have the No.2 Pro's son, Shoto Todoroki! And on the other side, we have Class 1-C's very own flame user, Y/n L/n!'

'You've got this! Just don't give up.'
