𝒮𝓎𝓃𝑜𝓅𝓈𝒾𝓈: Poor Tamaki Amajiki couldn't handle talking to people. Whenever he was faced with anything more about than a single cat, his mouth would dry up and no words would come to mind. This doesn't exclude the new transfer student.

"Class 1-A, listen up," Cementoss silenced the room full of talkative students. Tamaki gazed up at his teacher. "We have a new student who transferred here. Come in, L/n."
The door opened softly, and a girl with sparkling eyes and bouncy hair walked in. Once she stood in front of the class, Cementoss continued.
"L/n, would you like to introduce yourself?"
"Sure," she nodded, turning to the students. "Hello! I'm Y/n L/n. I moved here just two days ago. I'm excited to meet everyone, and I hope we can be friends!"
The girl beamed a smile that seemed to shine so bright it outshined all the darkness in the world. Tamaki had to avert his gaze so that he wouldn't get blinded by her beauty.
Oh, god... I wasn't supposed to think that! No no no no no. That girl literally walked in ten seconds ago!
"Thank you, L/n. The rest of you, I hope you treat her well." Cementoss then motioned to an empty seat right next to... Tamaki...
Crap...
Y/n moved and sat down in the empty seat, sending the boy a small smile. Already, Tamaki tensed up in a meek effort to make himself less visible. Surprisingly, it worked... up until class finished.
"Hey, what do you think of the new girl?" Neijire Hado asked him as the two of them, along with their friend Mirio Togata, left the school building to start heading to the train station.
"I don't know..."
"I think she's great!" Mirio spoke up. "She seems really confident. And I wonder why she transferred here in the middle of our year..."
"Look, she's over there!" Neijire pointed at the girl, who was also about to head home.
"N-no, wait-" Tamaki tried to stop her.
"Hey, new girl!" The girl turned around and smiled at the trio.
"Hi!" She waved. Tamaki's face turned a light pink.
"Are you taking the train home, too?" Mirio asked her. She nodded. "Wanna come with us?"
"I'd love too!"
"Great!" Neijire grinned. "By the way, I'm Neijire Hado."
"I'm-"
"Ooh! You said you moved here a few days ago, right? Where did you move from?"
"Well-"
"And did you transfer here from a different hero school or something?"
"Yes-"
"And by the way, I love your hair! It's so pretty~!"
"Thank-"
"And also-"
"Hado, you're asking too many questions again," Mirio interrupted. "Anyway, I'm Mirio Togata.
"I'm Y/n L/n. It's nice to meet you, Hado, Togata," she said, still flustered from Neijire's questions. "And how about you?" She turned to Tamaki.
"... huh?"
"What's your name?"
Tamaki stared blankly, trying to formulate the right words in his mind.
Say something, you idiot. She's waiting.
"I... n-name... Tamajiki Amaki- no! T-Tamaki Amajiki..." She giggled.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, Tamajiki."
Neijire and Mirio started laughing. Tamaki wanted to crawl into a deep hole and stay there forever.
Once the quartet reached the station, Mirio and Neijire had to take a different train that Tamaki and Y/n. So the two now sat side by side in comfortable (and yet slightly awkward) silence.
Tamaki felt Y/n's leg pressed up against his own in the crowded train. His face was still pink, and now he was even shaking a little. He was sure Y/n could tell.
"Hey, Tamajiki," she spoke up. "I noticed you get pretty nervous when it comes to talking."
Yep... she can tell. Damn it.
"Actually, if I'm being honest, I had that all the time back in middle school. You wanna know a trick?" She smiled.
He nodded slightly.
"Pretend they've got potato heads," she said casually.
...What?
"H-huh...?" he muttered.
"Just picture in your head that the person or people you're talking to has the head of a potato, and it won't feel like their eyes are glaring at your soul."
"I... I guess."
"It works for me, at least. You should try it."
"O-okay..."
...
Short, I know. Do not fear, I do have a Part 2 planned.
