you jolt out of bed as soon as you wake up.

"did i pass? am i in the hero course?" you say while looking around. Shoto is sitting in a hospital bed next to you and there is a very old woman kissing him.

"oh, am i interrupting something?" you say while averting your eyes.

"hello dear" the old woman says while walking over to you, "how are you feeling?"

"i feel fine. i just needed some rest, but im good now. why are you kissing him?" you ask the older woman.

"well he has a few bruises so i was healing them with my quirk, just like i healed yours!" Recovery Girl says. "i'll be right back, i have to go grab something" she says and then leaves.

your mouth forms an "O" when you finally understand. you swing your legs off the table and stand up.

"how long was i asleep?" you ask Shoto who is stretching his arms.

"about 15 minutes" he says while rotating his shoulders, and then he winces in pain.

"are you okay? what happened? did i do something?" you say while walking to Shoto and examining him.

"yeah you punched me in the back" Shoto says harshly while lifting his shirt to take it off.

you could see every muscle on his body moving as he took off his shirt. he rotated his body so his back was to you, and your eyes never left his muscular arms and toned back. you forgot what you were even looking for.

suddenly, your eyes land on a huge bruise spread across half of his back. your eyes widen and your hands shoot up to your mouth to cover it.

"oh my gosh, Shoto, i'm so sorry" you say while looking closer at the bruise. your hands move their way to his back and you lightly trace over the bruise. you can hear Shoto take a deep breath in.

suddenly, the doors opens and you see Recovery Girl waddle inside. you teleport away from Shoto at light speed to your bed, pretending like nothing happened.

"okay dear, i have some gummies for you to eat. they'll heal your internal injuries" Recovery Girl says to Shoto who is now putting his shirt back on.

"thank you" he says before eating the gummies.

just then, Mr. Aizawa enters the room.

"oh good you're awake. how are you feeling?" he asks you.

"i feel great! i just need a nap and then im fine." you say while twiddling your fingers. all you want to do is scream at the top of your lungs and ask if you did a good job, but you'll wait to see if Aizawa will say anything first.

"you were impressive out there. you have lots of potential to be a hero. just based on your performance, i would admit you to the hero program. however, you still need to take the exam. can you come by tomorrow at 3 pm? it would be about an hour" Mr. Aizawa says.

"yes! of course!" you say with a wide smile.

Mr. Aizawa nods and then leaves the room with Recovery Girl.

"i'll leave you two to chat" Recovery Girl said with a wink only you could see. you look away and blush for a second.

"you really were impressive today" Shoto says as he stands up.

"thanks. i was really nervous" you say while hiding your smile.

"are you good to leave now? i have to get back to class" Shoto says while heading towards the door.

"oh yeah i'm totally okay. i'm actually great! that was so fun. you have a great class" you say while following behind Shoto.

"they're annoying. you would be a good addition to the class though" Shoto says looking over at you.

"oh, so you find me annoying?" you say with a fake sad expression on your face.

"no... that's not what i meant" Shoto says, stopping his tracks.

"well you said i would be a good addition to the annoying class" you say with a frown, poking fun at what he said. you didn't actually take it to heart, you just wanted to mess with Shoto.

"no. you're not annoying y/n. i like being around you" Shoto says while you stare up at him.

"okay. you're forgiven!" you say while skipping ahead of Shoto. he stood there confused for a moment and then followed.

once you arrived at the class you both said bye, and you walked home.

~

the next day you took the exam at 3 pm like you were told. even though Shoto offered multiple times to walk home with you from school, you refused everytime.

you didn't want Shoto to see how stressed you were.

the exam went smoothly. you were able to answer every question and you felt pretty confident with your score.

~ 10 minutes later ~

you heard a knock on the door and there was Shoto, standing with two drinks in his hands.

"i hope you like this. i don't know what you drink" Shoto said, holding out an orange-ish drink with boba.

you took a sip and then "mmmm"ed out loud.

"I. Love. Thai. Tea!" you say while chugging the drink, only pausing to eat the boba while you shut the door behind Shoto.

"oh good. i didn't drink mine just in case you didn't like that one." Shoto says while holding up his undrank drink.

"what did you get?" you say, trying to tell through the color. it was green with some white foam on top.

"it's matcha with vanilla foam" Shoto says while taking a sip.

"can i try it? i've never had matcha before" you ask.

"oh sure" he says and hands you the drink.

you take a sip and immediately make a disgusted face.

"that is literally grass. i just drank grass" you say while trying to get the taste out of your mouth.

Shoto chuckles at your reaction and takes the drink back.

"well good thing you like Thai Tea then" he says walking past you to the kitchen table. he grabs two coasters and brings them to the living room, setting them down on a little table in front of the sofa.

Shoto sits down on the sofa and grabs the remote to turn on Haikyuu. you go to the kitchen to heat up some popcorn. you're basically zoning out staring at the microwave until you feel something touch your shoulder.
