025 - seeing you 💗

ship: hitoshi shinso + neito monoma.

The U.A. High School dormitories were buzzing with life as the students enjoyed a rare day off. The common room was filled with laughter and chatter, a perfect setting for relaxation and fun. Among the lively crowd were Hitoshi Shinso and Neito Monoma, who had been dating for a few months now. Their relationship, while unexpected to the majority of their year, had blossomed into something beautiful and genuine.

Shinso was sitting on a couch in the corner, a book in his hand, though his attention kept drifting towards Monoma. The blonde was across the room, engaged in an animated game with little Eri. She had become like a little sister to many of the students, and they all adored her. Seeing Monoma interact with her brought a warm feeling to Shinso's heart.

Monoma's usual smug demeanour was replaced by genuine joy as he played with Eri. He was crouched down, matching her height, a soft smile on his face as he helped her build a tower out of blocks. Eri giggled, her laughter pure and infectious, and Monoma's eyes sparkled with delight.

Shinso couldn't help but watch them, his heart swelling with love and admiration. Monoma had always been confident and sometimes arrogant, but seeing this gentle, caring side of him was something else entirely. Shinso had fallen for Monoma's complexity—the way he could be fierce and protective, yet soft and nurturing.

Monoma looked up, catching Shinso's gaze. A blush crept up his cheeks, but he didn't look away. Instead, he offered a playful wink, making Shinso's heart race. It was moments like these that reminded him why he had fallen for Monoma in the first place.

Eri's tower wobbled precariously, and Monoma steadied it with a careful hand, his movements gentle and deliberate. "There we go, Eri. See? It's all about balance," he said, his voice soft and encouraging.

Eri beamed up at him, her eyes shining with trust and admiration. "Thank you, Monoma-nii!"

Monoma ruffled her hair affectionately. "Anytime, little one."

Shinso closed his book, setting it aside as he made his way over to them. Monoma looked up at him, his smile growing wider. "Hey, Shinso. Enjoying the view?"

Shinso rolled his eyes, though a fond smile tugged at his lips. "Yeah, actually. I didn't know you were so good with kids."

Monoma shrugged, a faint blush still colouring his cheeks. "They're easier to deal with than some people I know," he teased, glancing pointedly at Shinso.

Shinso chuckled, shaking his head. "Touché."

Eri looked between them, her eyes bright with curiosity. "Are you two dating?"

Monoma's blush deepened, but he nodded. "Yes, we are."

Eri clapped her hands together, her smile widening. "That's so cool! Now my brother has someone to actually help him." She giggled mischievously.

Monoma and Shinso shared a glance, a silent understanding passing between them. They did make a great team, in more ways than one.

Monoma stood up, dusting off his pants. "Come on, Eri. Let's go show everyone your awesome tower."

Eri took Monoma's hand, and they led the way across the room, leaving Shinso standing there, watching them go. The sight of Monoma's hand gently holding Eri's, his protective stance, and the way he looked back at Shinso with that tender smile—it was all too much. Shinso's heart felt like it might burst from the overwhelming affection he felt.

Later, after the excitement had died down and Eri had gone off to play with some of the other students, Shinso found Monoma alone in a quiet corner of the common room. He approached, a soft smile on his face.

"You know," Shinso began, his voice low, "seeing you with Eri today... it made me fall for you even more."

Monoma looked up, his eyes wide with surprise and a touch of vulnerability. "Really?"

Shinso nodded, stepping closer. "Yeah. You were amazing with her. You showed a side of yourself that I don't get to see often. It made me realize how lucky I am to have you."

Monoma's cheeks flushed with warmth as he reached out, taking Shinso's hand in his. "You're not so bad yourself, you know. I'm the lucky one."

Shinso squeezed his hand gently, his eyes locked onto Monoma's. "Let's agree we're both pretty damn lucky, then."

Monoma laughed softly, his eyes shining with affection. "Deal."

They stood there, hand in hand, the world around them fading into the background. In that moment, it was just the two of them, connected by a bond that was growing stronger with each passing day. And as Shinso leaned in to press a gentle kiss to Monoma's lips, he knew that this was just the beginning of a beautiful journey together.
