One-shots

Emotion- Tamaki Amajiki

  I sighed as I sat in class, wondering how everything was going with the big 3 introducing themselves to class 1-A. I couldn't focus. I knew how Tamaki was, and I knew the poor thing was probably having a panic attack at this very moment. In fact, the teacher at the front of the class got a call on his classroom phone and sighed before looking at me.

"Tamaki needs your assistance again (Y/N). He's in the hallway outside of class 1-A." I nodded and left the classroom calmly before sprinting to where he was waiting for me.

My quirk was the ability to project emotions to people through touch, so whenever Tamaki got too nervous, I was always the first one there, and as such was accepted as a good friend to the big 3. I normally kept gloves on, because if I wasn't focusing hard enough my own emotions could get transferred to the other person, and I had a huge crush on Tamaki and didn't want that to slip out when I wasn't paying attention. There had been a couple close calls, but luckily my secret was still safe, at least from him. Mirio and Nejire had figured it out a long time ago, but had promised to keep it quiet until I was ready to share.

I got to the hallway and stripped off my gloves the minute I saw Tamaki crouched with his head against the wall, muttering to himself about how he messed up extremely badly and was ready to quit UA.

"Tamaki," I gently called out to him to let him know I was there. He didn't look up, but he nodded to acknowledge my presence, still muttering to himself. I went and took his hand in mine, focusing on channeling calm feelings into him. He slowly backed away from the wall and sat down, his expression becoming more relaxed until at last he was smiling at me.

"Th-thanks (Y/N). I really d-don't know w-what I would d-do w-without you." I looked away and began to take my hand out of his, but he held it tighter when I started to pull away. "Just a little longer, please." I looked at his calm smile and couldn't help the surge of affection that went through me. Tamaki turned bright red, and I realized that my concentration had been compromised and I just gave Tamaki a full blast of what I felt for him. I pulled away quickly and began to stand.

"I should go." I started to turn away, but I felt him grab my hand again, and my nerves flared. I felt him flinch a little at the strong emotions that I was inadvertently channeling through the contact, but he didn't let go.

"(Y/N). Do you... Er.... D-do you l-l-like me?" I looked back at him, and my heart swelled with a mixture of love and fear. His eyes widened. "W-wait. Do y-you... L-l-l-love me?" I nodded, looking away and trying to take back my hand again. He refused to let go though, only holding it tighter.

"Tamaki, please. You know how I feel, and I'm very embarrassed. I would really like to just hide for a minute, and then we can pretend that this never happened. I only lost my concentration for a moment, and now I'm ok again." I gave him a reassuring grin, and tried to channel calm again, but I was so embarrassed that I could sense that was the only emotion I could channel.

"I-I know you're feeling e-embarrassed, but y-you d-don't have to. I l-love you too." I felt my eyes go wide, and Tamaki smiled a little as my surprise was channeled into him. Before he could register my next emotion, I leaned down and gave him a quick kiss. He looked surprised, but before long he had a large grin on his face as he registered every emotion that I had poured into that quick kiss, and that was still being poured in through our linked hands. Mirio and Nejire came out from the classroom and took in our linked hands and mutual smiles at each other, and gathered what had happened before Mirio walked over and clapped Tamaki on the back.

"I'm so proud!" Nejire giggled.

"Does this mean that you won't be wearing your gloves anymore, (Y/N)?" I shook my head.

"You wish. I still don't want you feeling everything I feel. But Tamaki is allowed to hold my hand more often without my gloves on, if he wants to." Tamaki nodded fervently, and I laughed.

I was ready for him to always be able to feel how much I really loved him, and finally be sure that he loved me in return.
