Sunflowers (All Might/Toshinori Yagi x Reader)

Falling Hard

The time in between seeing him started to not matter much to me anymore. It would draw out when I really couldn't wait for our next date. Wherever it was, I had fun and enjoyed his company. My normal life was shattered and I almost couldn't stand to spend a moment away from him, but when I did, I watched his victories on the news.

"I haven't even met him, and I like him." Mom sipped a coffee on the couch, reclining back and watching as he gave a review to the news anchor about what had occurred behind him. All Might...I mean, Toshinori had taken down a group of robbers with only one fell swoop. This gave me the fix I needed when he wasn't around.

We had been going on dates for maybe four months now, and my heart was beginning to feel torn. I...liked him very much. He had expressed he had feelings for me in gesture, but not in words. He was nervous, I get it, I am, too. I think I might as well say that I loved him, but that might be stretching it.

Hearing his voice through the TV, I perked up, blushed and grinned like a lovestruck schoolgirl.

"Aw, you like seeing your boyfriend on TV, huh?" Mom poked my cheek.

"He's so handsome and sweet... Guh! I can't stop thinking about him." I hid my face in my hands. Might as well be upfront about how I feel and hope someone would catch the hint and help me out.

"Oh, young love." Mom snickered. "You have to bring him here sometime to meet your father and me. What'd you say his name was again? Yagi?"

"Toshinori Yagi, yes." I nodded.

"Toshinori is such a handsome name."

I fell face-first into the couch, grabbed a throw pillow, buried my face in it and groaned, "He's so beautiful...I can't handle how amazing of a boyfriend he is, and we haven't even had a kiss yet. Those muscles, that smile, his laugh, his personality, his...everything!"

"Wow, you're really in love with him." Mom set her cup down and moved closer to me.

I cuddled into her leg, feeling her brush my hair with her fingers. I smiled gratefully, "I...love him."

"I know, dear...You should let him know that."

My heart pounded in my chest at that thought, irrational anxiety clouding my mind. I knew I had to eventually, and my affections couldn't be void forever.

Another date, another chance to tell Toshi that I loved him. For three dates, including him meeting my parents, I had neglected to confess. Today, we lounged on a park bench after having lunch together.

"Y/n, are you okay?" Toshi rested his large hands on top of my own, making me flinch.

I had spaced out staring at the grass, kicking it as I swung my feet. "I'm alright, just tired."

"Should I take you home, then?" He looked a little concerned, his eyes flashing with uncertainty.

"No, no, I'm having fun, I'm just..." I took a deep breath, "I wanted to...do something? Tell you something? I don't know exactly what I'm gonna do here."

"Go ahead, you can tell me anything." He beamed at me what that reassuring smile.

I leaned my head into his shoulder, "I...I think I love you, Toshinori."

I felt him stiffen, his muscles going more rigid than normal.

"T...T-Toshinori?" I squeezed his hand, worried that I had offended him or scared him. My worry was obvious as I slowly pulled myself away from him.

"I love you, too, Y/n." He squeezed me back to his embrace, making me yelp in surprise.

He hugged me close, and relief washed over me. I wrapped my arms around his neck, snuggling close.
