A/N: Request from Beatrianna. Hope you enjoy it!^^ I had fun writing it! I do not own My Hero Academia, any of its characters, or the picture. I do own the plot of this fanfic though.




If someone had told Seiji a couple months ago that he would fall in love with a U.A. girl he probably would have scoffed, told them they were insane, and dismissed it from memory. Him, a proud student of Shiketsu High School, with a U.A. girl? What nonsense...

Or was it?

"Seiji." Your voice came breathy, ruffling the hair atop his head as his lips moved against the sensitive skin of your neck. His hands tightened their grip on your waist, making you gasp. Every sound you made, every shift of your body against his, was its own kind of music unique to you alone and he would give anything to hear more of it, but alas. Your time together was short and there wasn't a moment to lose.

Burying his face into the crook of your neck, Seiji breathed in your scent, committing it to memory until he could see you again. His arms wound around you, pulling you as close as possible without hurting you. You returned his embrace, your smaller arms winding around his larger figure. Resting your face against his shoulder, you relished his warmth, allowing your body to relax in the security of his arms. 

He loved you so much, it wasn't fair.

What had he ever done to deserve such horrible, wonderful torment? From the moment he had first seen you during the license exam he'd been head over heels in love, though it took longer for him to overcome his denial and admit it. 

It felt like a two-way betrayal. On one hand it was as if he was betraying his pride in his school and everything that encompassed for falling for a U.A. girl, while on the other hand it was a betrayal of his own feelings for denying his affection for you in the first place. He grew weaker by the day, losing sleep over his inner turmoil. It wasn't long before people started to notice, dark circles appearing under his eyes and his usual scowl deepening as his mood worsened. No one dared to actually ask him what was the matter, but he could feel their concerned stares and worried glances. Even so, he held out, pushing thoughts of you away as he tried to go on with his life.

And he made a noble effort, but it was all for naught.

Seiji reached his tipping point about a month into his resistance. He was exhausted, his eyes sore and bloodshot, and there was a knot in his neck that made him wince whenever he turned his head. Lost in his thoughts on the way to lunch, he heard a single word- a name- that made him stop in his tracks, his head snapping up in recognition and his eyes widening.

"Isn't she a U.A. student?"

"Yeah, so?" Yoarashi Inasa and a few other students were talking a little ways away, their backs to him. "She's so cool and powerful! We'd be a power couple, don't you think?" the brown-haired male asked, turning so Seiji could see his profile and the stupid, excited smile painted across it.

"Mmm, that's not really the point. I don't know if the rivalry between U.A. and Shiketsu would allow it," another student answered uncertainly, echoing what Seiji had been telling himself. 

One of the greatest reasons why a relationship between a U.A. student and a Shiketsu student wouldn't work was because of the tense competition between the two schools, Shiketsu constantly aiming to topple U.A. from it's place as the number one hero school. Many, many times, Seiji had reminded himself of that, taking careful measures to distance himself from you as much as possible, even going so far as to ignore your messages when you tried to reach out to him.

Inasa scoffed. "It'll be fine. You think I care about that when it comes to (y/n)? She's too special to give up."

Seiji's heartbeat filled his ears, accompanied by the rushing sound of blood. He distantly acknowledged Inasa continuing, saying something about asking you out in a couple of weeks or so, but he barely heard it over the roaring in his head. The purple-haired teen felt as if he had been knocked off his feet and sent sprawling, his vision blurring and his breath leaving his lungs. It took all his effort to move out of sight around a corner before the strength left his legs, sending him sliding down the wall to the floor in a dazed heap. 

He'd never felt such a tidal wave of emotion before. Fear and horror dominated his mind, but there was something more there as well, a feeling very much akin to relief brought on by realization. Forming a center to the swirling whirlpool of his consciousness were those words, "She's too special to give up." They resounded to the deepest parts of his being, filling him with clarity and certainty. A weight lifted from his shoulders. Inasa was right, you were too special to give up.

For so long, Seiji had dismissed his feelings for you, believing that a relationship with you would never work or that what he felt would fade over time, when in all honesty he knew neither were true. Being with you wouldn't be without its difficulties, but what relationship wasn't? Seiji wasn't the kind of person to give up without a fight, especially when it came to you. He feelings for you hadn't faded in the slightest since day one. If anything, they had only grown, fed by his subconscious longing for you. 

Seiji loved you and that wasn't going to stop anytime soon.

He sought you out that weekend, before Inasa could, shooting you what was probably the most nerve-wracking text he had ever sent, apologizing for his distant responses to your earlier texts and asking you if you wanted to meet up at a cafe. The time it took you to respond was more daunting and stressful than any battle or exam he'd ever faced and he cursed himself for being so weak. His heart nearly jumped into his throat when his phone buzzed with your response, the piece of technology shaking in his hands as he read over your message again and again and again.

You accepted.

From there the rest is history.

He confessed to you, unable to keep silent about his feelings for you any longer, and explained everything he'd put himself through in his denial. After he finished he realized how embarrassing and silly it all sounded, but you only smiled, accepting him with a gentle hand in his own. 

Seiji had to admit he was a little smug when Inasa came to school one day depressed after being turned down by you, but he didn't say anything. The two of you decided to keep your relationship a secret. Both you and he were unsure about how your classmates, and in extension your schools, would handle the news. Maybe it would be fine and maybe it wouldn't, but neither of you were particularly willing to take that chance at the moment considering relations between the two schools were still tense after the licensing exam. Besides, it was his and your relationship. What business was it of anyone else?

Now, with his face buried and your arms around him, Inasa's words echoed in his mind once more. 

"She's too special to give up."

Nothing in his life was more true, so he would continue to love you from afar and in brief, stolen moments. The Romeo to your Juliet.
