Love is not a Joke (hiatus)

New Years Eve (Katsuki [pt. 2])

(A/N) Beep boop, this chapter is brought to you by Writer's Block, the sure way to post a chapter late. Meep moop, I'm really sorry!

Where you last saw them:

Knock knock

(Y/N) suddenly looked up from her notes and stared at the door, debating if she should pretend to be asleep.

"Oi! I can see your desk light. I know you're awake." The sound of her boyfriend's voice relieved her a bit, and she got up to let him in.

"Hey, Babe. What's u- mmph!" Katsuki wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace, drowning her words in his shoulder.

"Don't say anything. Just.." He laid his head on top of hers. "..just let me sit with you for a while."

She squeezed her arms around him and pushed her face deeper into his shoulder. He could barely make out her muffled reply. "Of course, Katsuki." She sighed into him, letting herself relax and causing him to follow suit.

-the day before Lunar New Year-
-UA Alliance kitchen-

(Y/N) worked diligently to put together two bento boxes, one with a sweet rice dish and the other a spicy one. She put effort into preparing food she knows her boyfriend likes. As she worked near the hot stove, the midday sun shown through the window, and she began to sweat.

She turned off the burner and started packing the food for their date. Just as she tied up the second box in a red cloth, (Y/N) got chills down her spine from a certain blonde breathing on her neck. "How?! I'm sweating and he can still give me the chills!" She turned around to smile at him. "Hey, Babe."

He looked her up and down, then attempted to look indifferent. "Hey. You about ready? Sensei said we could go out around the campus for a couple hours."

She grinned. "Yup! I just finished the boxes. Now I just need to go change and we can go."

He looked at her again. "But you look fine."

She looked down at her graphic T-shirt and casual shorts. "Ok, but I had another outfit in mind for the day. Besides, you wore something a bit nicer than normal too." She gestured to his open button-up with a black shirt and nice jeans.

He shrugged. "Whatever. Just be quick."

(Y/N) smiled and shook her head at him. "Geez, so bossy." She giggled. "Be back soon! And no peeking in the boxes!" With that, she darted off to her room to change.

About ten minutes later, (Y/N) heard an impatient knock at her door. "Yes, Babe, I'm almost ready," she giggled.

"Good." Katsuki paced outside the door while he waited for his girlfriend to finish getting ready.

When she finally emerged, she donned a nice, blue top with a darker blue, diagonal stripe design; well fitting, faded jeans; and comfy heels. (A/N: Shhh! They exist!)

He looked her up and down again and his face turned a slight pink against his will. He looked at the door frame beside her and mumbled, "You look great, Princess..."

She almost did not catch what he said, but as soon as it registered, she smiled and blushed shyly. "Thank you, Katsuki." She stepped out and close the door, wrapping her elbow around his. "Shall we?"
