Hello everyone! I have just started to get back into writing after a few years of hiatus and saw this story in my drafts and figured why not. I honestly don't remember what my original plan for it was so I am just winging it now!
Y/N was exhausted. She laid on her bed icing her aching calves with bags of frozen vegetables while trying to enjoy a show she was watching. The exam had kind of taken a lot out of her, even after all of the training she did. But, she did the best she could...and all there was left to do was waiting...lots and lots of waiting..........
Yeah waiting got boring very quickly. Instead of waiting, Y/N decided to go to the convenience store to pick up some snacks. It was a good opportunity for her to both take her mind off of the exam and stretch her sore legs out a little. Quickly throwing on some presentable public clothes, she made her way out of the house and drove to the closest convenience store. She parked her car under a dingy streetlight, you could never be too careful, and walked into the store. The little bells ding signaled her arrival and a sweet old woman waved to her from behind the counter, "Hello! Welcome!" Y/N just nodded and gave her a friendly wave in return before focusing on the freezer section.
You noticed a pint of your favorite flavor pushed to the back of the top shelf, this made you grumble for a moment before deciding that you could probably reach it. You began to precariously balance on your tiptoes on the thick black bar in front of the freezer that your mom never let you stand on as a kid, something about 'safety' and 'slipping and dying'. You do wish that you would've headed her warning however when you strained a little too much and ended up losing your balance while reaching for the pint. Before you even had a second to think about activating your quirk to brace your fall, you stop, your back once again collided with a familiar hard surface,
"I think you need to start wearing a helmet when I'm not around."
You opened your eyes to see Sero and his charming smile looking down at you. You started to laugh and think of a retort when you realized that you were still in his arms...he was still holding you.
"Well I'm beginning to think that you have a second hidden quirk that knocks people off of their feet, I normally have great balance."
He released you from his arms and you were very quickly reminded of the cold chill of the freezer section.
"What're you picking up?" He asked this while opening the freezer for you and grabbing your desired flavor, "Me personally, I'm more of a salted caramel guy," he gives you a friendly wink.
You rolled your eyes, "Thank you Sero. I'm just here to get a few snacks. I was planning on spending the night resting and rejuvenating from the exam today, my calves are kind of killing me." You glanced down at your sore legs and grimaced for a moment.
"Well if that's your plan you should probably pick up some icy-hot or something too. It's what I always use after some rough training, it'll get you feeling better after a few coats." He grabbed a tube from the shelves across from the freezers and handed it to you, you smiled.
"My knight in shining sweatpants~"
You teased him a little, giving his outfit a once-over. He was wearing a standard pair of black athletic sweatpants, some white and yellow sneakers, and a plain grey t-shirt. It suited him, this comfortable nonchalance.
"Nothing wrong with a good pair of sweats," he jokingly put his hands up in defense, "If I could go around saving the day in just this I would."
The two of you walked around the store, mindlessly chatting and laughing while picking up some junk food and drinks. It feels so natural, so comfortable. You honestly couldn't believe that you had just met him within the past 24 hours.
"There is no way your parents did that! You're such a liar!" You giggled and bumped his shoulder as you grabbed your final choice of snack.
"I'm offended! This is a 100% true-to-form authentic, Sero Hanta certified, truth."
"Well the day something being 'Sero-Hanta-certified' becomes permissible in a court room is the day I'll believe that," You joked while making your way to the front counter.
"You'll just have to wait until I get my hero's license then," he winked once again and set his items on the counter next to yours. The kind old woman from before began to scan everything with a small smile on her face.
"I remember when me and my husband were young, dumb, and in-love like the two of you. It's such a fun time in life."
This immediately made both yours and Sero's faces flush bright red. You both began to stammer at the same moment about how it wasn't anything like that and that you had just met recently. This just made the woman smile more.
"Oh I see. Well I look forward to seeing you both again!" She gave a sly grin and she handed Sero a receipt...wait did he pay for everything?!?
You both walked out of the store, Sero holding all of the bags. After a few moments, you broke the slightly awkward silence, "You didn't have to pay for my stuff too. I had the money for it."
He just smiled at you again and shoved his hands in his pockets after handing you your bags, "You can find some other way to repay me...maybe if we end up in the same class you can do my homework or something, at least help me study."
For some reason, that thought made your chest feel all warm and fuzzy, "Deal." You hold out your free hand to shake his. He chuffs a little before taking your hand and shaking it, "Deal."
You went your separate ways, vowing to text each other as soon as you got your letters in the mail with your results. You hop into your car and drive home, bobbing your head along to the playlist you had going at the moment and humming the melodies to every song. You were happy, refreshed. The convenience store trip did its job...with some help from a friend.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! If there's anything you want to see in this story or comments/questions/concerns, don't be scared to let me know. I hope everyone has a good whenever you're reading this and I'll hopefully be releasing a new chapter soon :))
