Tale of a Short Warrior [Eijiro Kirishima x OC]

Unexpected

Today is the first day of the new semester where we have the opening ceremony and regular classes with a few announcements from Mr. Aizawa during homeroom regarding training this semester and internship where it will be more advanced than what we previously did. The only thing unusual about today is that Bakugou and Midoriya are under house arrest for the next few days because they fought outside late last night.

There is an unexpected twist to this day which happened now where Im heading to my room to get ready for bed when suddenly Sero approaches me saying "Ryuzetsu can I talk to you for a bit" where I say "ok, whats up", after a moment of silence he says "I like you, I did ever since the first day of school where I picked on you for some time back then because I wanted to get your attention also I found your reaction cute so it couldnt be helped". He wraps his skinny arms around me pulling me into a hug saying "you can tell me how you feel because I can take no for an answer".

I am shocked and confused since its the first time someone confessed to me. At the same time I feel bad because he is Mina's crush where I will keep it a secret from her because she will get hurt that he likes me, as her best friend there is no way Im going to tell Sero she has feelings for him since she has to be the one to decide what to do.

I suddenly remembered the provisional license exam hearing Sero's heartbeat and heavy breaths as well as the time he didnt put me down right away while staring at me where it all makes sense now also what I heard growing up that if a boy picks on you there is a chance he likes you is true where it makes sense. From our height difference with the top of my head reaching almost below his chest now that Im wearing the indoor slippers I could hear his heart beating really fast even without my dragon ears so I know he is serious.

After an awkward silence I push him away gently getting out of the hug then tell him "Im sorry but I like someone else, dont worry we can just be friends" where with his usual grin which looks a bit forced he says "its fine I just needed to get if off my chest also I hope whoever that is makes you happy, anyways see you tomorrow" where he heads off to his room so I reply "see you".

Before I go back to my room I knock on Tsu's door where she opens it saying "kero?" where I say "Tsu I need to tell you something" so she says "sure come in Yu". I tell her what happened just now where after some time of processing what I said she says "its a good thing you were nice about it", I then tell her it would be awkward since we see each other practically everyday where Tsu replies "he did accept how you felt after all"

I say "anyways dont tell Mina this" then I hear someone say "dont tell me what" where to my surprise I turn my head to see Mina is there that we didnt even hear her come in, I ask "Mina what are you doing here?" then she says she borrowed Tsu's notes from earlier so now shes going to return them.

Mina says in a serious tone "anyways I was about to go to your room to talk to you after dropping by here so tell me what youre hiding from me and dont play dumb because I saw Sero hugging you earlier" which gives me a mini heart attack. Now that the cat is out of the bag I admit to her what happened of course making it clear that I rejected Sero, because obviously Kirishima is the one I like, where I was planning not to tell her about his confession to me because I didnt want her to get hurt.

After a moment of silence she says in an upset tone "Yuhi how could you, youre best friend so what kind of friend are you keeping secrets from me? I wouldnt be upset if you told me but the fact youre keeping it a secret from me makes me mad".

Tsu steps in telling Mina "calm down Mina, Yuhi was being considerate of your feelings which is why she didnt want to tell you, it means she cares about you" where she replies saying "but still it would be better if she tells me".

I apologize to Mina for not telling her saying that I will make it a point to tell her everything no matter what from now on so after some time processing what I said she says "fine but tomorrow you have to confess to Kirishima and if you dont by sunset I will be the one to tell him where you wont like it since I will also tell him what you did to Sero" where I say "no way I cant do that because we see each other almost everyday that if he rejects me it will be awkward".

She says "well you did that to Sero". I turn to Tsu to ask what she thinks where she says "kero....well I do think its time you let him know to get it over with like what Sero did also there is a chance you could still be friends even if he doesnt return your feelings" so after some time thinking I say "ok I will do it".

I then ask Tsu when she plans to confess to Tokoyami where she says "when its the right time" so I ask Mina "what about you with Sero" where she says still in an upset tone "maybe after he recovers from however he is feeling now because of what you did to him".

After heading to my room getting ready for bed where I decide to study todays lessons as a review. I have a hard time concentrating thinking too much about tomorrow that I just pack away my notes and all and fix my bag setting my alarm on my phone for tomorrow.
