"I love you too".

"...And that's how it happened," i finish telling Mal of how Shoto and i confessed. For the fifth time! We sit crisscross on one of the futons in the healing room.

"Let me get this straight," she says holding her hands in front of her, "yeah i still cannot believe you".

"What's not to believe?" i ask her frustrated.

"The fact that you told him how you feel," she answers bluntly, "i mean you are not that open to talk about your feelings. So why did you do it?"

"Whatever," i tell her and get up, "i should head out".

"Oh sure. You have that 'date'," she says mockingly, air quoting the date part.

"What date?" Dragul curiously asks. He has been leaning against the doorframe for who knows how long.

"Her date with that Todoroki boy," Mal says turning to face him.

"Really?" Dragul asks smirking, "let me drive you there".

"No. No, no," i tell him quickly, "i know what you are up to so no".

"What? Now that you have a boyfriend you won't let me drive you anywhere," Dragul says still smirking.

"You know what i'm talking about Dragul," i huff walking past him.

"Enjoy your date (Y/N)!" Mal shouts from the room. Her voice echoes around the entire floor.

Great! Now the entire agency knows i am dating someone! Thanks Mal for the embarrassment!

I leave the agency and decide to walk to the station then taking a train home. Shoto asked me on a date after we visited his mother. I am not aware where we are going but he insisted on keeping it a surprise. It has been a while since we last saw each other. The criminal activity has started increasing the last month. I am busy at the agency, especially with night patrols. On the other hand, Shoto has been spending most of his time at Endeavor's agency. So has Bakugou and Midoriya. They are really working hard to become the heroes they want to be. It is truly amazing, watching people working so hard on turning their dreams to reality, achieving their goals. The determination in their eyes, the persistence in their actions but most importantly, their undying and unwavering spirit. I sigh and try to calm my thoughts as i arrive to the train station. Even if the station is extremely crowded, i do feel comfortable. How can someone feel otherwise in a place buzzing with life?

My phone chimes and its screen lights up. Before i unlock it, i smile at my lock screen wallpaper.

Ah, i remember when i took this photo. He was at my room in the agency and asked me if he could tidy the scattered stuff on my desk. He picked my glasses and asked me if he could try them on. Luckily, i agreed and were blessed with this photo. I miss him so much. There is no use in hiding it. Once i unlock it, my smile widens. The text is from Shoto!
