KIRISHIMA, OKAY
it's hard for you to fall in love. very hard. it takes time, and so much in-betweens, that it almost feels like you have lost the ability to love. it scares you sometimes; how you enjoy it when those cute boys and girl chase after you like lost puppies, how they cling to your arms as if you are their world, how the skies seem to collapse when you are not with them—are you cruel for wanting to be loved? are you cruel for begging for love when you cannot give it to anyone but yourself? if so, then you apologize. you apologize for all the hearts you have broken.
you have no clue what love is, but you know what it looks like.
you have never seen it in the mirror, but you see it in the eyes of the arms that wrap themselves around you. and it makes you wonder how love must look like when you aren't the one receiving it. what does it feel to love someone?—to willingly give everything you have until you have nothing left for yourself.
and as if the gods decided to humor you, you find yourself falling faster than you expect. your first love happens at fifteen, and you cannot help but be excited. this is the love that you have been longing for; love has red hair, and red eyes, has a boisterous personality, and a smile that can go on for decades. his smile. that must be why you had fallen so hard for him.
love does not look like what you expect. you expect him to perhaps, be like todoroki shouto who is beautiful, and elegant in a way no boy your age can be, or perhaps like tenya iida whose rules are straight, able to discipline himself in any situation. you do not expect love to be kirishima eijirou. kirishima eijirou who is all loud colors, and he—he feels like something you have never felt before, as if he is the key to a new world you have never even dreamed of.
because being in love means being introduced to something new.
this feels divine, you think, i have never felt so happy before.
