[6] Tenya Iida

A/N: I think the only thing I need to tell ya here is that this an ×Shy!Reader. Thank you and enjoy!

Iida had always been a hard person to catch the attention of. He payed attention to nothing but hero and school work. So after giving him a confession letter in front of his dorm room, I kept my eye on him more than usual. He didn't seem to behave any differently than before.

Because of his normal behavior, I felt a little depressed. Uraraka seems to have noticed my unusual and mopey behavior. "Hey L/N! Are you alright?" she asks me with concern etched in her voice. I look at her silently before debating whether to tell her or not. I sigh giving in, "I-I gave Iida a confession letter this morning. He d-doesn't seem to be acting a-any differently," I complain.

She looks at me with her eyebrows furrowed. "I'm sorry to hear that L/N. Do you want me to help you?" she offers. I look to her with my hope reinvigorated. "Really!?" I ask clasping her hands in mine gently. "Yeah! I mean you did kinda help me confess to Midoriya last month," she admits shyly. I give her my biggest and brightest smile.

One week later~

I continue to run towards the practice field. Iida is chasing me which kind of scares the crap out of me; at least he isn't using his quirk. "L/N! Where are you going!?" Iida shouts after me. I don't answer and focus my energy on running. I hear an engine-like sound and realize that it's Iida's quirk at work. I keep running in hopes that he won't catch me but of course I was wrong.

Iida scoops me up into a bridal-style hold and starts his descent in speed. "Will you please not run away from me like that again!?" he asks frantically. I fold my arms against my torso and look away with a pout. He sets me down and I continue to remain in my silent pout. Iida pushes his glasses up.

"Now will you please explain why you ran away?" he questions me. I hum silently to myself, contemplating if I should really confess or not. "W-well I, um . . . " I trail off, not really knowing what to say. He looks at me expectantly, but allows me the time. Then I remember what Ochaco-chan said, "Just take a deep breath. Settle your nerves. And think about what you want to convey to them," her words run through my head.

I take a deep breath, clench my fists tightly to help calm my nerves, and think about my next move. I may not be the best person with words, but I know actions speak volumes. I take a step towards Iida, then another, and another before I'm standing right in front of him. I finally make eye contact with him and it looks like he shudders a bit. "I'm not the best with words, so I'll just show you," I whisper timidly.

I put one arm on his chest and the other on his wrist to hold him in place as I gently press my lips against his. I feel his body jolt but I pull away before he can have another reaction. I realize what I just did and compete with the shade of a red fire hydrant. "I'm so sorry! I'll just leave-" I say weaving around him to leave but he grabs my wrist. "Wait, L/N," he says softly.

I turn back to him, tears threatening to fall from my eyes. "I-" he chokes for the first time I've ever seen. "I want to do that again," he admits shyly. He releases his grip on my arm knowing that I won't run away. "R-really?" I whisper. "Y-yes," he confirms and I move towards him slowly. I replace my hands where they once were, and this time Iida places his hands around my waist.

We meet each other half way and share a more heartfelt kiss. Nothing could make me more happy to know that the person I admire, respect, and love, loves me back just as much. I pull away and rest my forehead against his chest. He rests his chin on top of my head and hugs me. I hug back feeling immense butterflies in my stomach. Perfection is all I feel in this moment.
