A School Crush (Miritama)

★1★

My name is Tamaki Amajiki. I am 17 years old and have black hair and eyes, along with slightly pointed ears. I stand at 5'9 3/4" or 177 cm, I am third year at UA, and my quirk is manifestation, but I guess that's it. I'm not that special, and really...I don't think I will ever be.

I'm currently in a hospital bed healing after a fight with the Yakuza. We succeeded at our goal, but it did result in many injuries to both sides.

I have a slight head injury and a good handful of scrapes and bruises, but I'm worried more about my best friend Mirio Togata. I haven't been able to see Mirio since the fight ended and I went to check on Toyomitsu and Kirishima after bringing Mirio out of the building to let the ambulance take over. What bothers me the most is that while the heat of the fight was still going on, I had this really uneasy feeling before I passed out in exhaustion. I want to know if Mirio is alright.

While time goes by at the first night in the hospital, all I think about before going to sleep is Mirio.

The next day I wake up around 3pm, which amazes me, and one of the nurses starts to give me the news on the conditions of everyone after I kept asking. I do feel sorry for being rude but I just have to know.

Most are alright and expect full recovery and then I hear about Sir Nighteye. I really only know about him mostly from Mirio and I'm saddened by it. Mirio looked up to Sir Nighteye and respected him greatly. I can't imagine how hurt he must feel right now. Then after all of that I finally hear about Mirio's condition.

After the nurse explains I quickly jump out of bed and run to his room, ignoring all of what the nurse is yelling. I start to feel slightly dizzy but I keep running to his room. As I open the door I find him sitting on the bed staring out the window.

The nurse comes to me saying, "Mr. Amajiki you need to go back to your room."

"No it's fine he can stay in here." Mirio speaks up still staring out the window.

"But you both need to rest." The nurse insists.

"It's alright, we both have minor injuries so we should be fine." He turns and smiles.

"Alright but Mr. Amajiki has to be back in his room by night fall." The nurse says then leaves.

"So I guess you heard?" Mirio asks me.

"Yeah... so-"

"Mr. Aizawa talked to me earlier. He said that once Eri is better at controlling her quirk I could possibly get mine back." Mirio cuts me off.

"...he said that?"

"Yeah but I'm in no rush to get it back."

After hearing that my heart drops slightly. Mirio is too talented to not want his quirk back quickly... he shouldn't have lost it in the first place. I can't change what's happened but there is hope for him so... of course I wish that it wasn't him that lost his quirk. He doesn't deserve it... if I-

"You know Tamaki you can sit down and we can talk." He says interrupting my thoughts.

"Oh yeah..."

I close the door and start to walk over to one of the chairs in the room but Mirio interrupts my movements by saying, "I'm okay with you sitting on the bed you know."

I redirect myself to the hospital bed and sit beside Mirio, who is still sitting with his legs crossed. I mirror his sitting position and we stare at each other for a few seconds before I say, "So how are you actually feeling Mirio?"

"Haha, of course you would ask that." He says and his smile fades slightly.

"I'm worried about you Mirio that's why I ask."

"I know... well if I'm being honest. I am sad and it's hard to put up a smile but you know what."

"What?"

"Sir said I should continue to smile so I will. I'll continue to make others happy and live my life to the fullest."

Mirio starts to tear up slightly so I move closer to him and try to comfort him by hugging.

"You will make people happy no matter if you have your quirk or not. I believe you will get your quirk back and become a great hero. You're going to be amazing and I will be with you all the way."

After I hear a quiet, "Thank you Tamaki."

We stay in the comforting hug for a good while then Mirio pulls away and asks, "How about we lay down and rest a bit?"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I think this bed is strong enough."

"...yeah." I answer and we both lay down near each other.

The bed isn't very wide so Mirio lays close beside me. He almost instantly falls asleep and I stay up with my head practically going everywhere.

Yes, we've slept in the same bed before and even cuddled once. Though what Mirio doesn't know is that when he treats me like such a close friend it makes me want to go just little further.

Multiple times I've thought of giving Mirio a slight peck on the cheek or say that I really like him out loud.

I hate being just friends with Mirio but I guess we will never get any further than just best friends. Only because he's currently talking with Nejire Hado.

Hado is another member of The Big 3 and I've noticed her few attempts at flirting with Mirio. Sometimes she succeeds other times not, it really just depends though. They're still not on first name basis, but they are close to it.

No matter what though they're both considered my friends and nothing will change that.

After thinking that Mirio's arms wrap around my waist and he pulls me in pretty much spooning me.

My brain explodes and all I can think about is Mirio's warmth. As I begin to close my eyes I just think about the warm and security I'm feeling.
