Chapter 29

You and Shoto were still sitting on the couch in a comfortable silence, him comforting you. You were getting a little tired, but you wanted to spend more time with him. You were then realizing how awkward this was. Your head was on his shoulder. The two of you were holding hands. Your hands were resting on his leg. Your face grew hot in embarrassment; you didn't know if anyone else had seen the two of you. It would have been way worse if Aizawa saw. Or Katuski, good lord, he would make fun of you for weeks if he saw this. And be heartbroken...again.

Even though you were perfectly calm, you were still letting out little sniffs and hiccups due to crying way too hard way  too fast, which was most likely the reason why Shoto was holding your hand so tenderly. You wiped your eyes, as tears welled up again. You wouldn't cry again, though. You couldn't be happier, though. Your heart started pounding as you smiled softly, trying to think of all the outcomes of this situation.

You were still extremely upset with your parents, though. You couldn't believe that they had cheated you to the top. It was so unfair to all the heroes below you, and to yourself. All this time, you really thought that they just came naturally when you turned 4. That person with the "special Quirk" really did a good job.

You looked up at Shoto, whose face was focused. He was on his phone, scrolling through news and clicking on any articles that caught his attention. He would let out sighs from time to time or little huffs from his nose, which you thought was super cute.

You moved your head a little so you could see what he was reading. It was currently an article about a not-so-threatening villain that had been arrested earlier in the day for trying to rob a bank. The article was actually pretty interesting; the villain had a strong Quirk but didn't even attempt to use it, so he wasn't even caught by a hero, it was the just the police. You laughed a little at the end of the article.

He turned his phone off after he scrolled to the bottom of the article and confirmed that you had read through it, and ran his thumb over your hand.

"Hey, (Y/N)?" Shoto said softly.

"What's up?" You sat up and scooted over a bit so you could make eye contact. Your face was still warm, so you hoped he wouldn't notice. Your hand left his, and his mouth opened slightly. It was suddenly really cold without it. You could really look at his eyes forever; they were so pretty and held such a sad story in them. His scar brought out the color of his eye, and it didn't even change how absolutely beautiful he was. On top of that, his skin was so smooth and spotless, while you had some pimples that you hid with makeup. His lips looked so soft, while yours were a little chapped. He seemed to stare at you for as long as you stared at him. His lips parted, and you realized how close the two of you were.

Your face became warmer as your lids became heavy and your lips parted as well. You moved a little so you were sitting more comfortably. His hand found yours without breaking eye contact, and they locked together in a firm, yet gentle, hold.

"Can I kiss you?" He asked, his voice just a whisper now.

You closed your mouth, lips pressing together in a firm line as you gulped quietly.

"Yeah." You answered, equally as quiet.

He leaned in slowly and made sure his face was at the right angle. His lips pressed against yours, and it felt like they fit perfectly together. Both of you closed your eyes. As the kiss got only a little deeper, he gently put his hand on your face. There were small smooching sounds, but other than that, it was completely silent.

Your classmates hid behind the slightly open door, silently cheering.
