👓 Tenya Iida 👓

Imagine: Just One Word...

The One With Tenya’s Shy Girlfriend.

•••

You've only been dating Iida for a short time, but you've loved every inch of it. One thing Tenya loved about you was how shy you were.

He loved how a soft blush would adjourn your face. How it made you look even more beautiful than possible.

He loved how you would stand so close to him, and curl into him when someone unfamiliar approached you.

He loved how when you were feeling really shy about doing something, you'd ask him to be with you.

He loved how he was able to make you more comfortable. How you were able to be yourself around him.

You leaned into Tenya as you walked down the street. You loved the way he smelled. Like laundry soap, fresh air, and safety.

"I can't believe we've been together for six months already."

You let out a soft sigh and smiled into him.

"I know. It feels like we just got together."

Anyone else would have thought your shy, quiet voice made you sound scared. But Tenya knew you were just incredibly shy.

Honestly, he thought your shy voice was cute.

"Can I take you out tonight? Or would you rather stay in?"

"Mhm, we can go out. I think you're bringing me out of my shell."

•••

By the time Tenya showed up at your door, you were curled up on the couch reading a book. He let himself in, seeing as you gave him a key.

"You look comfy, still wanna go out? We could just order in..?"

You weren't the type to dress up. You were just in leggings and one of Tenya's stolen hoodies. Your hair was in a messy bun. A soft blush crossed your face.

"We can still go out. I'm feeling good, I might even order my own food."

•••

Tenya took you to a restaurant. It wasn't super classy, and expensive. He knew you would be super shy and uncomfortable. It was still nice, and pricey though.

The waitress led you to a double-sided booth. You were meant to sit on one side and he the other. But you ended up on the same side.

You took deep breaths as the waitress approached your table.

"Hello, I'm [Random Name], I'll be your waitress today, ready to order?"

You took a deep breath as Tenya said an entree and his drink. You released your breath and sharply inhaled.

'Its just one word. You can do it.'

"Um, uh, lemonade..."

Your voice was so quiet she almost didn't hear it. As she walked away you released a breath you didn't know you were holding.

"Tenya! I ordered all by myself."

Tenya smiled at you. You were adorable. This was the first time you ordered by yourself in the entire time Tenya has been with you.

This includes when you were still friends, back before you were dating. Tenya pushes his glasses up and grabs your hand.

"I'm so proud of you. You did a great job."

You see the waitress coming back with drinks. You lean into Tenya, your tiny burst of confidence gone.

"I need you to order my food for me."

"I thought I was bringing you out of your shell?"

"I can only handle talking so much in one day. Sorry."

"I'm still proud of you. Besides, I like ordering for you."
