Various anime one shots book 2

Knockout (Maddie)

Walking towards school, you hum a little. This is it. You're about to be a hero. Go to UA. Train. Get your license. Save lives. It's all about to happen and you can't wait.
On your way, you hear a boy yelling. You shrug it off and keep walking, getting closer to the shouting. You see a boy with blue hair and glasses scolding somebody else. Naturally, you ignore it and keep walking. As you're about to make it past him, you feel a sharp pain in your head and black out on the ground.
‣0.o.o.o
Slowly coming to, you sit up, holding your head as you squeeze your eyes shut. After a moment, you open them again, finding yourself to be in a hospital. Beside the bed, you see a boy. Tall and broad. He's got a head of blue hair and silver glasses adorn his face. The boy has a strong jawline and a square chin. Handsome, really. Part of you is happy to be alone in a hospital room with him.
"You're finally awake!" He jumps from his chair, giving you a full 90^ bow. "My name is Tenya Iida, and I am the reason you are here in the hospital!" He begins chopping his hand in the air. "You appeared to be on your way to school when I had accidently hit you! I sincerely apologize for what I did! Please forgive me, miss! If there is anything I can do to make you forgive me, please inform me immediately!"
"Uh--." You just blink at him. "Okay, stop with the hand chopping. That's, like, a lethal weapon. And it's nice to meet you, I think. I'm F/n L/n."
"My family and I will be paying the hospital bill." He stands up straight again. "The doctors said there was no concussion and you could be discharged as soon as you woke up."
"Wait, shoot! I'm late for school! Frickin' crap!" You shoot up. "What time is it?!"
"Past four in the evening."
"I missed the first day of school?!"
"If it consoles you, I did, too."
"No! It does not! I-I- there's no way UA's gonna want me now!"
"My family and I will deal with it. We will take full responsibility for this issue and ensure that there is no complications with your enrollment."
"And- and how do you plan to do that?! You're just some normal, random boy who-"
"I am the little brother of Ingenium. My family does hold some status, L/n-San."
"You- you're what?!"
"Anyway, let's get you checked out. I will walk you home as to ensure you will suffer from no further injuries."
"Hold on-"
He already starts toward the door, as if he can't hear you. He's not nearly as handsome as I initially thought. Grumbling, you follow him. As you stare at his back, you notice his uniform. Does he go to UA, too?
"Do you go to UA, too?" you ask.
Quickly. he replies, "Yes! I'm about to be a first-year in the hero course! Class 1-A!"
"Looks like we're gonna be classmates."
"Well, isn't that a lovely surprise? It's a shame we had to meet under these circumstances."
You shrug. "Not the worse circumstances."
He laughs a little. "I'm glad to know this won't be my last time seeing you. You seem like quite the intriguing girl."
Immediately, you blush. Does he mean that? Really? But what if he means it in a bad way? Why do you even care?
After getting checked out, he walks you outside. "I'll call a driver." he tells you. "Wait a moment." After a few minutes, a limousine pulls up. You stare in awe. You've always wanted to ride in a limo. What girl doesn't? This is going to be amazing! Excitedly, you climb inside, bouncing a little.
"What?" asks Tenya Iida.
Your face flushes in embarrassment. "Ah--" Scratching your cheek awkwardly, you avoid his eyes. "I've always wanted to ride in a limo, is all. I'm kinda excited."
"I can pick you up for school." he blurts out. "That is, if you want, I mean- well- since I owe you, anyway."
"Yes, please."
"All right, then. I look forward to it."
•0.0. 0.o.o
"Good morning," you greet Tenya as you walk out your door.
"Good morning.," He wears a subtle smile. "I brought the limousine."
"I see." Your smile isn't as subtle as his.
It's bigger and filled with more excitement. "Let's go to the vehicle."
You two climb inside, you sitting across from him, knees together and between his. The closeness is a bit embarrassing, since it's such a big limo. Why did you do this, again? Oh yeah, you want his attention. Yesterday, you ended up really enjoying his company. Naturally, you want to get to know him, And, of course you want to fluster him and stay on his mind. Drive him crazy and have him dreaming about you. As embarrassing as it is, your desire is to get under his skin. And you'll make that happen no matter what.
"Tenya-Kun."
He jumps, seemingly startled by the use of his first name. "Ah- yes?"
"Thanks for the ride!"
"Of- of course! I owe you at least this much! I mean, I knocked you unconscious and-"
"Oh, don't worry about that! The past is in the past!" You lean forward, nose mere centimeters away from him. "I could never hold it against you."
"L/n-San... is there a reason you're so close?"
Frowning at the way he used your last name, you lean back again. "Does it bother you?"
"Well.-no- It's just.. awkward?"
"Good." you say, feigning nonchalance as you lean close once again. "So how'd you sleep last night?"
A bit awkward, he clears his throat. "Fine. You?"
"Like a rock!" You giggle. "I have a habit of passing out the moment my head hits the pillow." "Well, that's certainly reassuring."
"Isn't it?" You lean in closer, this time, turning his ears red.
"L/n-San-"
"Just call me F/n. "F/n-San."
"Would you mind giving me some space?"
Frowning again, you scoot back. "Better?"
"Yes."
The rest of the ride is silent, you not knowing what else to say in your irritation. Why won't he look at you? His eyes are everywhere but on you and it's driving you crazy. What's more, you can't tell what he's thinking, which is, in all honesty, even worse. You don't know what he's thinking as he stares out the window, seeming to not want to spare you a single moment. In total wordlessness, the two of you make your way into the school.
Straight to the classroom you go, you no longer daring to look at him. You already know he's not paying you any mind, so what's the point? Inside stands a tall man at the teacher's desk. His hair is messy and long with some stubble on his face. All of his features are dark beside his complexion, and, if you're being honest, he looks homeless.
"There they are." he grunts. "Class, these two were unable to join us yesterday due to some complicated circumstances. The girl is F/n L/n. The boy Tenya lida. The two of you may go sit down."
Conveniently, your seats are right beside each other. Both of you sit, and class starts.
"Oi." goes some blonde between classes, looking dead at you. "What's your quirk?"
"Pages. I can write something, and it'll happen. Say, if I wrote that you are wearing a fluffy pink ball gown, you would find yourself in, well, a fluffy pink ball gown. It can be used for both good or bad things. I could easily write somebody's death, or manipulate their emotions. If I wanted, I could make this entire classroom fall in love with me, with mere couple of strokes."
"Would you?" asks a boy with big. green hair.
"No, baka I don't see a point. It's not real love that way."
"It's an amazing quirk." he muses. "Later, I have a bunch of questions to ask you-"
"Hey, settle down." You give him an easy smile. "You already know my name, but what's yours?" "Oh! I'm Izuku Midoriya!"
You nod, then turn to the blonde from before. "And you?"
"Bakugou. Katsuku Bakugou."
"And I" adds another blonde who kind of just slides into view. " Am Denki Kaminari, At your service, beautiful." He takes your hand and kisses your knuckles sweetly.
Giggling a little, you withdraw it. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kaminari-Kun."
The next thing you know, the entire class is introducing itself. Everything gets loud, then Tenya starts yelling and chopping at the air to get everyone to pipe down. His face is furious as he is clearly bothered by their unruly behavior, though you can't say the same. Actually, you find it rather charming.
"Tenya-Kun." you say quietly, though still loud enough for everyone to hear. "Calm down, It's not that serious." Gently, you touch his arm.
"L- F/n-San, they're acting like a bunch of hooligans!!"
"Ah, but can't you see they're happy? Besides, I find it rather charming. We're all imperfect and proud of it."
His eyes soften just a little. "But..."
"No buts. Sit down, Tenya-Kun."
He does as told, looking a tad bit embarrassed. Suddenly, all eyes are on you, seemingly taking you in.
"What's wrong? Is there something on your face? In your hair? What?" you ask, fidgeting under their gazes.
"Nothing." replies Denki Kaminari. "You're just so sweet and angelic."
"Me? No. I'm just-"
"You're the manliest!" shouts a redhead you know as Eijiro Kirishima."Too manly for even UA!" Though a bit confused at first, every body whoops and agrees, yelling "F/n is the manliest!" And that's how you became UA'S Angel.
•0.o.o.o
You never thought you'd be popular, In all your years, you hadn't even dreamed of it. But, as irony would have it, the entire school knows your name They know who you are, you quirk, your class, your schedule-a couple creeps even found your number (to which you're still mortified).
In all this, however, you're still pining for Tenya. You don't know why. He's not exactly easy to he around. Yet, it's all you want. It drives you crazy. Why? Why can't you have him? Why can't he love you? Sitting at your desk in the dorms you just moved into, your hand is frozen above a piece of paper. It could happen. You could make him love you so easily, but it wouldn't be real love. It would be a lie. But wouldn't it be a sweet lie? Squeezing your eyes shut, you force yourself to drop your pen and go to your bed. No. You won't manipulate him. No matter what that voice in your head says, you won't do it. You're too good for that.
A knock sounds in your eyes, startling you.
"C- come in!" you say to whoever knocked.
The door opens softly, revealing Iida. His hair is a bit messy and clothes wrinkled, which is strange for him.
"Yes?" you ask, swallowing the lump in your throat.
He looks so good. "F/n-San." He seems rather used to your first name now. "I- I just wanted to say..."
"Hurry up and say it. Delaying it won't make things much better."
"I'm in love with you." He cringes at his own words.
"You're what?"
"In love with you. I didn't mean to be. I didn't want to be, but.. gosh, I can't take this." He takes his glasses off and sits them on your desk. Frantically, he runs his hands through his hair and starts pacing. "All those other guys.. they don't stay away from you. They put their filthy hands on you, stalk you--I can't allow it, F/n-San. I can't watch this anymore Not like this. Just reject me so I can move on. Please. I don't- I don't want to hurt like this anymore."
"I can't."
"Why? Because we're friends? I won't hold it against you-"
"Because I'm in love with you."
He startles, clearly surprised by your response, "What?
"You heard me. I'm in love with you."
"Since when?"
Shrugging. you look him in the eyes, "Dunno. I never wondered when. It didn't really matter, to be honest."
"You're. serious?"
"Yes." You stand up, coming close to him.
The closer you get, the more he backs away, clearly embarrassed and shy. You stop only when he's against the wall and you're right in front of him. Eyes squirting around, you notice him swallow and his Adam's apple bobs a little.
Feeling bold, you reach up, taking his face into your hands. pulling him closer, you lean up, up, and up, until finally your lips touch. His are oddly soft, though you can't say why. All you know is that you like it and need more.
Getting on the tips of your toes, you deepen the kiss, bringing his face even closer. But, before things can escalate as much as you wanted, he pulls away, blushing furiously.
"I- isn't this a little- a little fast?"
Realizing what you've done, you also begin to flush, looking away from him.
"Sorry. I I got a little excited there."
Awkwardly, he clears his throat. "Let's do this properly." He starts slicing through the air. "F/n L/n! Would you please go out on a date with me?"
You take his hands into yours, stilling and quieting him. "I'd love to. But no more air chopping. You've knocked me out once before, and I don't want it to happen a second time."
"Right." He stares at you.
All the love and adoration you've never noticed filling his eyes. "You're so beautiful."
"Thank you--- you're not half-bad yourself..."
"Thanks."
"Can I kiss you again?"
"Well-"
Not waiting for a response, you grab him by the collar and pull him in for another kiss.
