Hey y'all, just letting you know that this is a continuation of the last and only chapter about Sero in this book. Please go back and read if you wanna understand this better. I know no one asked for this because Sero isn't the most popular character but I Don't Care I Love Him And He's Hilarious.
With that said, onto the story!
It had been almost a month since you made your very first friend at UA, and you had to admit, being friends with Hanta had its advantages. For example, he shared his food with you. Any time he saw you eyeing his lunch, he'd silently hand half of it over with a warm smile. He also kept you company when you trained, although he didn't go as hard as you. He swung around the rafters of the gym, saying "Hey Y/N, look! I'm Spider-Guy! Phew phew!" It never made you laugh, but he did it anyway. In a way, he was training, so you didn't say anything to make him stop.
But the thing you loved most about your friendship with Sero was that he knew how to make you laugh. Yes, the Spider-Guy thing drove you up the wall, but he had other ways. He sent you memes at odd times of the day, sometimes even in class. You had many inside jokes with him, but your favorite one was his nickname you had for him.
"You're full of shit, Hanta," you rolled your eyes one day, replying to his story about the one time he fell down the stairs in his house and nearly missed landing on his dog at the bottom.
"Just call me toilet, then!" he had replied eagerly. In all honesty, saying that was a huge mistake on his part, because you now called him Toilet on the regular. Was it stupid and immature? Yes. But did it make you laugh? Yes. And for that reason, he accepted his name.
What you didn't know, however, was that Sero had desperately been trying to win you over for the past month. Maybe even before then, but now that he would be able to talk to you every day without getting absolutely demolished by your glare, he did everything in his power to get you to like him.
You were blissfully unaware of his affliction with you. He would openly flirt with you, and you would inadvertently brush it off as him being comfortable around you.
"God, man what do I do?" Sero questioned, completely exasperated. "It's like she doesn't like me. What if she doesn't?"
Kaminari, Sero's trusted friend and advocate, pondered Sero's dilemma. "There's no way she doesn't like you, dude. You're hella cool. But luckily for you, my friend, I have a genius plan to get her to confess."
"What is it? I'll take anything at this point," Sero begged.
"Here's what you do. You get me, of course, to go up to her. I'll say, 'So what about that Sero, huh? Seems pretty damn cool to me. Oh, what's that? You like him? Thank you for telling me, you can trust me with your secret, Y/N,' and then I go to you and tell you, and then you can go to her, and be all like-" he rambled, before being cut off by Bakugo, who was walking through the commons and heard their conversation.
"Don't be an idiot, Pikachu. Y/N's not in middle school and neither are you! Here's what you REALLY do. Take her to a restaurant, let her order anything she wants, and PAY for it. That's right, PAY for it yourself, bastard. And then you order the spiciest thing on the menu, I'm talking burn-your-fucking-taste-buds type shit, and EAT it. You're gonna EAT it and LIKE it-" he ranted, before being cut off by another voice.
It was Kirishima. "NO, you're all wrong, what you gotta do is BUY her FLOWERS, and then-" Kirishima said, but he was cut off by the arguing of the other two boys. Suddenly, there was a screaming match, and people who weren't even there for the conversation beforehand had joined in, all giving a piece of their mind.
"Ask her to give you a blowjob, that'll get the message across," Mineta wailed.
"Bake her a cake," Sato exclaimed.
"I'M TELLING YOU, SPICY SHIT IS THE WAY TO GO!" Bakugo screeched.
"WHAT?!" Sero yelled, trying to take in all of the information that was being thrown his way. "WHICH ONE DO I CHOOSE?"
Ochaco walked in, and quickly picked up on what was going on. "LISTEN HERE IDIOTS!" she screamed over all of the fighting. "CLEAR OUT. LET ME TALK TO HIM ALONE!" Normally they would have ignored her and kept on fighting, but she had that look in her eye. The boys all shuffled out, leaving Sero and Ochaco alone. She took a deep breath and said, "Sero, you like her, right?"
"Well yeah, that's what this is all about. Every time I try to hint at it, she gives me a cold glare, cause she thinks I'm messing with her."
"That's cause you're always trying to make her laugh and be funny. She's just expecting you to be joking all the time, so that's why she can't take you seriously. Maybe she really does like you and when you talk about liking her she thinks you're joking, so it makes her sad."
"Any time I try to be serious, she still doesn't take me seriously. It's literally just my face Uraraka. My face is too damn comical. I'm like John Mulaney, you just look at me and you have to laugh," he explained.
"Woah, woah there. I wouldn't say you're that funny. Don't go all egotistical on me here. Show her that you're serious."
"How do I show her that I'm serious?"
"Here's how..." Ochako gave him a simple explanation, but it was all he needed.
The next day, as Sero was walking back to the dorms with you, you found him to be unusually quiet. You were never the one to initiate conversation, but today, you felt obligated to. "So... what's up Toilet? How was your day?"
"Oh man, it was a doozy, Y/N, lemme tell ya," he chuckled.
"Oh a doozy, you say?" you mused.
"Mhmm." he hummed. Wow, he's going cold on me today. It's fine, I'll let him pout for a while.
He started to say something, but you accidentally interrupted him. "Sorry, you go ahead," he said.
"Uhm, okay. I was just gonna say that one of Monama's eyes is bigger than the other, but I didn't notice until now," you said, trying not to crack a smile.
"Oh."
"Sorry, tell me what you were gonna say," you apologized.
"Man, what I'm gonna say is gonna sound totally lame in comparison to that bomb you just dropped. But here goes," he said, wiping his palms on his shirt. "Remember when we were camping and I followed you to the woods and we talked? Like how I said I had always wanted to date you? I really wasn't kidding. I was serious. I'm still serious about that. Like I wanna date you, Y/N," he stated. You almost started laughing. But when you looked at his face, his usual goofy smile was gone and his face was solemn. "Whaddya say?"
You had never dated someone before, so you didn't have a lot of ground to go on when it came to comparing Sero to other boys. But you knew that he tried to make you happy every day. Even when you gave him the dirtiest looks and almost never laughed at his jokes, he was still a ball of sunshine around you. "Are you being serious? You really like me? But I'm scary and weird and dark and I feel like you deserve better than me-" you started to mumble. But you didn't get to finish your statement. Sero had grabbed your shoulders, spun you around, and pressed his lips against yours. It was quick, but sweet.
When he pulled back, he almost expected to be slapped or something. Your face was flushed and your eyes were wide, a facial expression which he had never seen before. "Okay," you said.
"Okay what?" Sero asked, confused.
"Okay, I'll date you."

Hey y'all, thank you so much for reading. Yes, I know this chapter was ridiculous, but sometimes I gotta humor myself and write some dumb fluff.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know!
