You're the number eleven hero. Not that high in the ranks, but you do your job well. Today is a party for the heroes and you decided to go, though you're beginning to wonder why as you get dressed. What's the point? You're not in the top ten, so you'll likely be ignored by the press and other heroes. You shake your head at this. You can still try to have fun. Nobody can take that away from you.
You put on a red dress. It has high neckline and long sleeves with a tight bodice, and the bottom is also a bit on the more form-fitting side, falling to your mid-calf area. With it, you wear gold heels and a gold belt. To finish it all off, you put your hair up into a bun with a bit of hair falling onto your face, framing it nicely. Then, you decide it's missing something.
With a fond smile, you grab a dainty gold chain and put it around your neck.
Looking in the mirror, you nod to yourself. You may not be the prettiest, but the outfit is nice, isn't it? Nobody can be mad at you for trying. Grabbing your gold clutch-purse, you go outside to find your limousines awaiting you. Once you're inside, the driver takes off. You stare outside the window, contemplating the upcoming party. Who will you meet? What kind of people will speak with you? Will any of the handsome heroes be there? Could you get a boyfriend? Probably not.
You doubt anyone would take interest in you.
Once you arrive, you go inside and see so many heroes. They talk and mingle, and nobody notices your entry.
Immediately, you go straight to the drinks, where a certain top hero is, getting himself something to drink. The number two hero, just recently rose in ranks after All Might's retirement. Smoothly, you slide next to him and start getting ice, acknowledging how handsome he really is. How did you end up near such a good-looking guy? Shaking it off, you keep hacking at the ice that froze together.
"Need help, beautiful?" Is somebody else here? Probably. "Hello? Beautiful? Gorgeous?" Why is that girl ignoring him?
She's lucky! A handsome guy is giving her attention! "Ma'am?" Your shoulder gets tapped, so you turn your head and see Hawks. "Why are you ignoring me?"
"Pardon?"
"I asked if you needed help, but you ignored me!"
"Eh? You were calling someone 'beautiful' I thought you meant somebody else-"
"Obviously I was talking to you. You're the prettiest lady here" He gives a big smile.
"No. And sorry that I didn't reply. I just didn't think you meant me."
"You owe me, you know. You can't just ignore the number two hero"
"Alright," you raise an eyebrow. "What you thinking?"
"A date. Spend a full day with me."
"Not happening." Why are you saying "no"? You dont know. you do know, however, that you're blushing madly and that
you want to. So why refuse? Just because! He needs rejection! Why, you don't know! But he does!
"But you were rude. Don't you owe me?"
"Yeah, but..."
"But nothing. Please? A full twenty-four hours with me. That's it. And if you never wanna go out with me again, fine. But you have to give me the chance."
You bite your lip. is this really a good idea? He'll probably stress you out. But, at the same time, he's extremely hot. And this might be your only shot at a boyfriend, too. You'll do it. One date and see how it goes from there. If you deem him worthy, you can just keep going out with him. It's not a bad idea. But what if he's just messing with you? Taking you out and then never bothers again? No. You'll cross that bridge when you get there.
"Fine," you say, getting some punch. "I'll give you one date and we'll see from there. But you'd better be the best date I've ever had."
"I will be. Here. Lemme pour your punch for you." He gets some in your cup then hands it to you. "Also, be mine tonight."
"I've seen you at events before and you don't have anyone else, right? Just hang out with me."
Frowning, you reply, "I'm already going on a date with you. Is that not enough?"
"Not even close. C'mon!"
He grabs your hand and drags you to the dance floor, excited. You don't match his energy at all. You're sluggish and tired, just barely lifting your feet off the ground. People stare, wanting to know what he's doing out here with you. Of all girls, what are you doing with him? He could do so much better! He really could! So why? Not even you know. It just happened. Regardless, you enjoy seeing their shock and jealousy. For tonight, the number two hero is all yours and only
yours. Their obvious irritation is beautiful. Truly.
Dancing is like a dream, and then you two eat together. The whole time is wonderful, and you couldn't think of anyone better to spend this with. And besides, it makes other girls jealous. That just makes the entire experience ten times better.
At some point, while Hawks is in the bathroom, some girl approaches you.
"What are you doing with him?" she asks.
"Hanging out", you reply. "What else could it have looked like?"
"Yeah. I see that. Why?"
"Because he begged me."
"Why would he beg you?"
"Because he wanted to hang out with me? Girl, if you're jealous, don't bother me. Go be jealous in your little corner or something. You're just being rude."
"Excuse me-"
"You heard me. Now please leave."
"I will not-"
"Excuse me", says Hawks as he puts his arm around your shoulder. "She asked you to leave, so please do so."
"She was being rude!"
"No. You were bothering her so she asked you to leave. Now do as told and get lost"
Angrily, she stomps off. Sighing in relief, you say, "Thank you so much."
"No problem. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Just... a bit irritated. I get it. I'm not that pretty. I have a chubby body and face. My features aren't gorgeous. But leave me alone. I'm not bothering you. And so what? Hawks wants to spend tonight with me. I didn't throw myself at him. I was just minding my own business. I didn't do anything: He bothered me. So leave me alone and mind your business. I'll do as I please."
"First of all, you are beautiful. Secondly, I wanted to spend tonight with you because I'm interested. That's it. If someone bothers you again, I'I scare them off."
"You're interested in me? You're not just trying to be annoying?"
"Obviously I'm interested-"
"I...have to go. Its late and...I should leave"
"Wait. At least give me your number."
"No. I don't think-"
"You promised me a date. Give me your number."
Defeated, you sigh and write it down for him and then run off. This is too much. Are you even ready for a relationship?
And what if he doesn't stay with you? What if he thinks that you're just an easy girl and ditches you once he's bored? What if he's really just messing around ? You can't take that! No!
At home, you sit on your couch, biting your thumb. What to do? What if everything ends up messed up? You've never had a boyfriend before and you'd hate for that to be your first relationship ever. And you can't just cancel. Especially if he is serious. You'll just have to take the risk. No way out of it.
Just then, your phone dings. You don't really want to look at it, but you also know you can't ignore whoever this is, either. So, you pick it up and take a look, then see that it's Hawks himself.
Unknown Number: Hey there, gorgeous! This is Hawks. You get home safely?
Y/nn:Yes
You change his contact name to "Date" really quickly, then get another message from him.
Date: Good! Whatre you upto now?
Y/nn Nothing. On the couch.
Date: Are you bored? Why did you leave the party?
Y/nn: ljust wanted to go home.
Date: But why? I thought you were having fun
Y/nn: I was until I wanted to go home.
Date: Well why don't we go out this Saturday? Thats tomorrow. l'l pick you up around 9
Y/nn: Yeah I have nothing planned
Date: Great! l'Il see you then!
Y/nn: l'm gonna sleep
Date: Good night
At that point, you just leave him on read, not feeling like responding. Then, your phone goes off several times
Date: Hey why aren't you responding?
Date: Are you ok?
Date:Do Ineed to go there?
Date: Where do you live?
Date: Hello?
Date: Are you ignoring me?
Date: Yeah I'm being ignored. I'll just go now
A little laugh escapes you. He's adorable. But you catch yourself and stop. Ignore him. You should definitely try to ignore him. Noticing the time, you see that it's after 1:00 in the morning. Yawning, you lie down and close your eyes, ready to sleep. However, you don't fall asleep. Oddly, you think about Hawks in anticipation for tomorrow. Will he really make you spend twenty-four hours with him? That's a long time.
Morning comes, and you start getting ready for the "date." You just put on a comfortable hoodie and jeans, not wanting to try. You're scared. You really are. At 9:00, there's a knock on your door. When you open it, there he is. Hawks. You force a smile on your face and he immediately grabs your hand and starts dragging you.
First, he takes you to breakfast. The food was amazing and he was very talkative the whole time. Then, he takes you to a park with a beautiful lake, where you both look at the water and talk a bit. Then, he takes you out to lunch at a simpler restaurant. After that is an amusement park. Then, it's dinner. After dinner, you try to go home, but that doesn't work in your favor.
"Nope," he says. "You promised a full twenty-four hours."
"I can't just spend the night with you on the first date!"
"Hey. I don't plan on doing anything creepy. We can just watch movies on my couch all night."
"You-" You begin massaging your temples in irritation. "Fine. Whatever. I'll go. But don't you dare try anything!"
"Yes! Alright. Great. Let's start heading over. C'mon."
He grabs your hand and starts running. He lives in a small but nice apartment. When you go in, you stop. This cant be right. It just can't. No. Your eyes deceive you. You're not really seeing this. In disbelief, you begin rubbing your eyes. But, when you look again, it's still there.
The walls are covered in Endeavor photos. Everywhere you look, his face is there. There are Endeavor action figures, too. Dolls. Plushes. Anything that could be imagined. Immediately, you just walk out the door. You can't do this. You just can't. It's way too crazy.
"Hey!" yells Hawks. "Why're you leaving?"
"No." you say. "Just no."
"What's wrong?"
Flustered, you whirl around and look at him, pointing your finger at his chest and poking it. "I'm not watching movies while Endeavor watches me! I refuse!"
"Eh? I think it looks cool!"
"It doesn't. And why him? Of all heroes, Endeavor?"
"He saved me when I was a kid!"
"So? He's so ugly!"
"He is not!"
"Yes, he is!"
"Can't you just ignore him?"
"No, I can't ignore him! You're asking too much!"
"Come on. You promised. Please?"
"Argh! Fine! I'll stay! But if have nightmares about him, I'm blaming you!"
"Deal!"
The both of you go back inside. You try to settle on the couch, but you fidget under the gaze of Endeavor. It's just so creepy. Those teal eyes just peer into your soul menacingly. It's scary. Hawks doesn't even notice. He enjoys the movies and has his arm wrapped around you nicely.
At some point, you let out a loud yawn and put your head on his shoulder. He smirks a bit, but you just cuddle close, too tired to care anymore. You're exhausted from the last couple of days.
"Do you need to go to sleep?" he asks.
"Yes." You grab his arm and bury your face in it. "I need sleep:"
"Would you like to just crash on the couch?"
"Mhm."
"Fine by me. Wanna move-"
"No! No talky! Shush!"
"Fine, then."
You fall asleep quickly, and he relishes you holding onto him like this. You just sleep, but have nightmares about the Endeavor all over the wall. Out of nowhere, you release him, screaming. That wakes him up immediately.
"What?" he asks. "What happened?"
"These walls are giving me nightmares!"
"The bedroom has bare walls?"
"Not happening!"
"Then what do you want?!"
"To go home!"
"So you want me to crash at your place?"
"It's better than these walls!"
The two of you go to your apartment. There, you actually get sleep. It's so much better than Endeavor just watching you. It's scary. Very scary.
In the middle of the night, you hear him whisper, "I love you, Y/nn."
That leaves you wide awake, unable to sleep anymore. Love? Seriously? It's only been one date! And there's no way he knew much about you before! You were never popular! This is crazy! With these thoughts, you stay awake the rest of the night, going round and round in your head.
In the morning, you're up first, so you go to make breakfast. In the middle of cooking, two strong arms wrap around your waist. You squeal and turn your head to find Hawks, looking groggy, You sigh in relief and pat his head, then play with his hair.
"Good morning " you say while giggling a bit. "You sleepy?"
"Mh."
"I'm making breakfast now. Go in the bathroom and wash up a bit, okay?'
"Mh."
He walks off, about to fall on the floor. On his way out, he walks into the wall. He just mutters, "Sorry" and keeps walking. You begin giggling, then go back to cooking. He's adorable. stop it! You're not gonna fall for him! You're just not!
He's probably just using you, Y/n! So knock it off!
Shortly after you've finished cooking, Hawks comes stumbling back in, sleep still written all over his face. He practically falls into his chair, looking ready to fall asleep. As if by instinct, you pat his back a bit and then place his food in front of him. He looks confused for a moment, and then he looks at you.
"Howd I get here?"
"You spent the night. You're not much of a morning person, are you?*
"Oh, yeah. I did do that, didn't I?"
"Mhm. And I made breakfast. Eat up, sleepy-head."
"Mkay."
You sit beside him and he starts eating. You do as well. It's a quiet breakfast, and you spend most of it observing him. He's quite the handsome guy, which you've always known. He seems really sweet, too. Most of all, he's adorable in a way You can't lie, you've had your eye on him awhile. He's the number two hero and is extremely talented. Additionally, he's
quite the sociable hero, too. You s wallow the lump in your throat, realizing the truth that you've been avoiding for far too long. The truth that you desperately don't want to admit
You like him.
Just as those three words come into your head, he finishes the food on his plate. He looks up at you, smiling softly. "I'm a bit more awake now," he says. "Thank you for cooking for me."
"Yeah," you reply, still flustered by your thoughts.
"It feels like we're a married couple, eh?"
"Not really."
"Oh, come on! Lighten up! Didn't you have any fun with me yesterday?"
"I can't say I didn't-"
"See? You enjoyed yourself. You should give me a chance. I'll make sure there's plenty more dates like that and even better if you just let me. Please?"
"Why?" you ask. "I can't figure you out. You bother me at a party. Make me go out with you. And then last night you're saying you love me. I just don't get it! You barely know me!"
"That's not true. I do know you."
"HOW-"
"I've been watching you. Every time you're on TV, I make sure I watch it. When you're fighting villains, I make sure that I get to see. Whenever you're anywhere I can see you, my eyes are on you for sure. Y/n, I know a lot about you because I've been interested a long time. I don't know about you, but I've been seriously thinking about a relationship with you. And I know. You're way outta my league and you could do way better, but please, give me a chance anyway. I don't disappoint you. I'll make you the happiest-"
"Are you dumb?"
"What?"
"Are you dumb? I'm not out of your league. It's the other way around. You're the number two hero. You're the good- looking one. You're out of my league. That's for sure."
"Not at all!"' He stands up and slams his hands on the table. "You're the most beautiful and wonderful and amazing person ever!"
Irritates, you stand up and slam your own hands on the table. "No! You are!"
"Well if we're both so convinced the other is better, let's just try it and see!"
"Fine! But while dating me, you'll realize that you could do way better!"
"Not a chance! It'll be the other way around!"
"Pfft! Keep dreaming!"
"Not a chance!"
Then, out of nowhere, you both lean in and kiss each other. You wonder, how did this happen? This wasn't the goal! You wanted to throw him out after he ate! You were going to reject him! But now you're kissing in the kitchen, your toast long forgotten. And on top of that, you've basically agreed to an actual relationship with him. Nothing is going as planned. But you're finding that you don't really care. You like this. You want this. That's final.
Pulling away, Hawks gives you a little smile. Then, he pulls you into a big hug, which you gladly accept. This is it. This is exactly what you've been wanting for too long. Why did you drag your feet? Because you felt that you weren't good enough. But he thinks you are. He sees everything that you don't. And now he's holding you. It's all so perfect.
"You're my girlfriend now, right?" he asks.
Smiling uncontrollably, you reply, "Yes. I'm your girlfriend now."
"YES!!!"
Today, you happen to be patrolling when you bump into something huge. Looking up, you see the number one hero Endeavor. All you can remember is the walls. The nightmares. The horrors! You just scream and run away, terrified. You won't! You won't die! Not today! You're still far too young! Meanwhile, Endeavor just stands there, beyond confused by what just happened.
