School dances. Something you had historically hated at every other school you had attended, however, even you had to admit that the dances at Hope's Peak academy were some of the best. Perhaps it was the people there who made it alright, perhaps it was the food, the music, the decorations? You couldn't put your finger on it, but for once, this was one dance you didn't mind being dragged to.
You were surrounded by an unlikely group; Korekiyo, Rantaro, Sonia, Hajime, Aoi & Toko, all of you sat around one of the intricately decorated tables, laughing and conversing, glasses of the sparkling pink punch in your hand. Everyone seemed rather jolly for it being only punch, as seeing Iruma hanging around the punch fountain earlier in the night, you suspected that it had been spiked.
However, something had been bothering you all night, as you had laughed and danced with your classmates. Your eye had been on someone all night. Despite having multiple people flooding around him, Chihiro didn't seem to be having as much fun as everyone else.
He had finally revealed his true gender to everyone, arriving looking adorable yet dapper in a suit & red tie worn loose. Many people came to congratulate him and express his surprise, yet despite him finally being honest with who he was, he had lingered shyly around the edge all night, flitting between groups of people, whenever his closer friends would go off to dance.
"You keep staring at Chihiro, Y/N-Chan, is there an issue?" Korekiyo asked, leaning towards your ear to keep his voice down and keep from alerting the rest of the group. Your gaze flitted to his for one moment to express your embarrassment at getting caught, before it shifted back to Chihiro, who was sat currently sat with Leon, Naegi, Kaito and Ibuki, looking mournfully at the people enjoying themselves on the dance floor.
"It's just... Chihiro looks kinda sad..." You gave a half shrug, cheeks tinting pink in the dim light.
"Why not go talk to him?" Rantaro suggested with a smile from your other side.
"I-I don't know... He must get sick of everyone coming up to him, all night..." You murmured shyly, before Sonia leaned over from next to Korekiyo - a surprising yet close friendship had been formed between the two.
"This is a great chance, Y/N!" Sonia cheered delightedly, hands clasped in excitement. "I can tell you've been dying to speak to him since you got here!"
"Was it that obvious?" You asked bashfully, rubbing your check and Rantaro just gave a light chuckle and sympathetic nod. "Fine, fine, I'll go talk to him..."
You stood up from your seat and tucked it back into the table. As your turned to cross the room, you fussed with your hair and smoothed out your (long/short) dress. You wouldn't normally be wearing a dress, but Sonia and Toko had insisted. It was much like how Chihiro had worn a suit - a far cry from what he would normally wear, but then again, it seemed everyone was trying something new at this dance.
You wove between dancing people, almost tripping over Komaeda as he tried to dance, before you finally reached where Chihiro was, finally away from the group he had been with, on his way to the punch table. You tapped his shoulder lightly and he turned to you with a bashful smile.
"H-Hi, Y/N-Chan," He smiled up at you, adjusting his tie self-consciously. "You look lovely..."
"Thank you..." You blushed in return as he admired you appearance. "You look great too!"
"Ah, thank you..." He smiled shyly. "It's all everyone's been talking about tonight..."
"Ah..." You nodded in understanding, finally getting an idea why he looked so down. While he had told you his secret before he formally revealed it, most people had no idea up until tonight. "I guess you're not used to all the attention."
"Yeah..." He admitted with a nod. "It's a little stifling, actually... They're acting as if I'm a completely different person.."
"I see.." You hummed, before giving him a bright smile. "Well, if it means anything at all, I liked you just as much even before I knew you were a boy. It didn't change anything for me, ok?"
"Thank you.." He smiled widely, cheeks a faint pink. He messed with his hair bashfully for a moment. "Hey, Y/N... Would you... Would you like to dance with me?"
"Oh?" You blushed at his offer, before nodding shyly. "I would love to... Actually, I was going to ask you to dance."
"Well, I asked you first, as a gentleman should do for his lady." Chihiro put on a brave face and puffed out his chest, and you giggled.
"Been taking lessons from Gonta?" You giggled lightly. Chihiro let his chest deflate and just gave a small chuckle himself.
"Yeah, doesn't suit me, does it?" He grabbed your hand and quickly leaned up, planting a soft kiss on your cheek before pulling you away to the dance floor.
"You're too cute," You smiled as he placed his hands on your hips, your hands resting lightly on his shoulders, and you both swayed happily side to side. His cheeks tinted pink again, before he glanced away; seemingly gathering his determination, before looking up at you, a look of determination on his face, despite the sweet blush he still wore.
"W-Well, I think you're cuter, s-so, that's final..!" He said before he closed his eyes, and leaned in, giving you a soft kiss on the lips.
