Iida Tenya x Reader

"Once you chose hope, anything is possible." - Christopher Reeve

(Y/N)'s heels clicked on the concrete floor as she walked towards a place where she could drown all her worries that were quickly piling up together in just a week. She needed to release her stress and relax for a bit.

After she entered the smokey bar, she directly went to the drinks, choosing a light alcoholic beverage as she was still going to drive herself home tonight.

"Loosening some of your tension, I see? That's good for your mental health. I salute you, good woman." A boy of denim hair stated to (Y/N), making strange hand gestures.

"Uh, thank you?"

"You are very much welcome."

(Y/N) took a chance examining the tall boy. His hair was styled in a formal way and how he was dressed obviously told her that he wasn't here to drink or do things in the bar.

"So, what's an elite person like you doing in a bar?" She asked, swishing her drink around the glass.

Quite jarred, Tenya asked her, "How did you know?"

(Y/N) pointed out his clothes and his posture. His choice of words was a big give-away too.

"You got me." Tenya sighed. "I am not here to drink or something like that."

"Why?"

Tenya pushed his glasses, adjusting it between the bridge of his nose. "Tomorrow, I'm getting shipped into combat."

"Ah, you're a hero," (Y/N) stated, a smile on her lips. However, they soon disappeared when she caught on. "Must be exhilarating."

"I guess so."

(Y/N) watched the tall man frown, sadness coating his features. She pursed her lips, feeling bad for ruining his night.

"Well! If you need to chill, you have to forget for a while. You'll leave tomorrow's problems to tomorrow's you."

Fortunately, a soft smile made it's way to his lips. "I suppose you're right."

(Y/N) extended her hand to Tenya, who looked surprised.

"My name is (Y/N) (L/N). We might not hang out with each other for long but it's nice to meet you uh... umm."

With a firm hand, Tenya accepted her handshake. "Tenya. Tenya Iida. Nice to meet you, (L/N)."

(Y/N) spent the night chatting with her new buddy, drowning out their stress and worry. It was incredible how two people could form such a strong bond in just one evening. With smiles on their faces, one might assume that these two were close friends or lovers. It was also incredible for one person to fall in love with someone knowing he wouldn't see her again after that night.

"You're supposed to be doing all the things listed on your bucket list right now." (Y/N) placed down her empty glass on the counter.

"I don't really have much time to do those."

"You don't have to do all of them. Here, how about I order you an alcoholic beverage."

Iida raised up his hands, declining her offer. "Oh no. Actually, I had already drunk alcohol a few hours ago and I don't plan on facing the consequences. Especially because I need to leave tomorrow."

"Oh, too bad," she stated, "Could you at least accomplish something-- even if it's only one-- in your list?"

Tenya's eyes flashed with a knowing look, and (Y/N) had already noticed before he could dismiss his thoughts.

"So there is something!"

Once again, Tenya pushed his glasses deeper and sighed in defeat. "Yes, there is one thing. But, I do not think I am able to do it."

He made a pathetic attempt to cover the slight blush on his skin with his hand.

"Don't say that. Come on, spill it out. I can help you."

Yes, He really did need (Y/N) to accomplish this goal

"Well if you say so. I've always wondered, " he hesitated but the encouraging look in her eyes pushed him forward. "how it would feel like to kiss a girl."

Quickly, he covered his beet red face with his hands as he rambled nervously, "I know this was such a terrible idea. You don't have to do it, (L/N). I mean, I never asked you to do it but I couldn't ask anyone else aside from you. So, how about we forget what I just said and continue, yeah? I am really--"

"No! No! No! I-It's fine. If that's what you ask for, "(Y/N) blushed deeply. "then, I am willing to do it."

Tenya was shocked. He was getting his first kiss from the girl he liked. Was this a dream?

"Really?"

"Really."

Slowly, the two of them leaned in close. Their breath fanned each other's faces and before they knew it, their lips had connected. Tenya started moving his lips as he tried to assert himself despite his inexperience. She was shocked to realize that Tenya was an excellent kisser (Y/N). She assumed he lacked experience, but now he was taking the initiative.

They drew back after a brief period of time, desperately needing air.

"Wow, never thought you'd be a good one," (Y/N) complimented.

"I'm just glad you like it."

Sadly, the time has come when Tenya had to go. (Y/N) offered to walk him outside and despite his disagreement in fear that she might catch a cold, he was forced to agree. Once he found his car, he turned to (Y/N).

"Thank you so much for entertaining me tonight. It lessened my worries and I am more than ready to leave tomorrow."

"It was my pleasure."

They then exchanged silent glances during the pause. They both knew they were in love with one another at this point. After they kissed, something clicked. It was similar to a candle being lit by a fire.

"I better get going." Iida sadly looked down at her, a frown etched on his handsome features.

"Don't frown. It doesn't suit you," (Y/N) said. She raised her hand and rested it on his cheek. "I want to see you again."

Tenya held her hand, giving it a squeeze and leaned down to peck her lips. "Then I suppose I should do my best to stay alive."

"You better do."

Tenya sat in the driver's seat and started the vehicle. The blue-haired boy once more glanced at (Y/N) as it roared to life.

"I'll definitely come back for you."

(Y/N) smiled, nodding softly.

"I'll be waiting."

Then, with hope that she would see him again, the car sped off into the distance, disappearing from view.
