Confession | Setsuno

REQUESTED BY: nana_academia1002

Love.

Love was an emotion Setsuno had sworn off — one that he had vowed to never feel again. He wanted to be shut off; to become a stronger man and not let his emotions get the best of him — especially after his girlfriend had cheated on him. She had ripped the trust he had in her apart like it was nothing.

So that was how Setsuno was now; a husk of a man who didn't want to fall in love. His golden eyes were haunted: dark and sunken from all the worrying he had done over his previous girlfriend. It seemed that it would be easy to meet this challenge — that is, until he met Y/N.

When Y/N showed up in his life, all cute-looking and lovable, he couldn't help the tug of heart. His heart began to pound quickly around them, and sweat seemed to gather on his brow whenever they glanced at him.

Setsuno was in love again.

Damn it.

Sickly sweet feelings bubbled in his chest, and his skin always prickled where Y/N would touch him. It was a disgusting feeling, but for some reason, Setsuno didn't mind as much as he thought he would.

Y/N was swoon-worthy. They were adorable — anything Setsuno could've wished for. His feelings were growing stronger and stronger as the days inched by, so one day, he decided that he wanted to confess.

Holding a bouquet of red roses behind him as he stood in front of Y/N's office, Setsuno tried to calm his nerves by muttering under his breath over and over again:

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's o— it's not okay...!"

The male was about to turn away and throw the bundle of roses away into the trash when the door opened.

"Setsuno? What're you doing here?"

Setsuno flinched, nearly pricking his finger on the green stems of the roses.

"W-Well—"

He started to say, voice cracking near the end as his anxiety suddenly dunked him into cold water, successfully opening his eyes to what he was going to do. Tears blurred his vision, and Setsuno whimpered, grip tightening on the flowers he had in his hand.

"Setsuno! Don't cry..."

Y/N said quickly, a hand settling on his shoulder in a gesture in comfort. In response, Setsuno shivered, his heart pulsing frantically in his chest. His heart was telling him to wrap a arm around Y/N's waist, to bring them closer to his trembling body. Unfortunately, his shaking limbs wouldn't allow for him to do so.

He swallowed. He had to do this.

"I... I li-like you, Y/N. You're so a-amazing, I—"

Setsuno was surprised when Y/N hugged him tightly, their face moving to press flush against his chest.

"I like you too."
