(I think you all might like this chapter)

(Y/n) pov.

I slump forward as I shuffle on home. My dirty and damaged shoes scape against the sidewalk. It's been a week since I've seen Eijiro and it was starting to get to me. More than it should. I hear shouts from the playground right next to me so I look over. What I see stops me in my tracks.

There is Eijiro, with a scowling ash blonde who was standing farther away from Eijiro and the three others. The other three were another blonde with a lightning bolt in his hair, a black haired male with some strange looking elbows. The last was a girl with pink hair and pink skin.

My heart aches at the thought of Eijiro with a girl. It really shouldn't, he's my neighbor and I have no right to be feeling this way. But I couldn't help the hurt behind my eyes as they began to feel like tears were going to come out. Not just about the girl, probably not even about her, just about how much I missed him.

"Why do you guys I sit on going to a playground for children. It's lame." The ash blonde standing off to the side. The others just tease him then slide down the slide in some awkward way, it honestly looked like so much fun. I sniffle and wipe my eyes on the purple pinkish turtle neck sweater. I turn and begin walking away from sight of Eijiro and his friends. However just as I began walking away, I catch eyes with the ash blonde and I catch eyes.

"Oi. Shitty hair!" He calls out. Eijiro looks to him.

"What?" He asks. The ash blonde points over to me and my heart sped up as Eijiro and I finally locked eyes.

"Isn't that the extra you hang out with?" Eijiro smiles and starts heading my direction. With panic on my mind, I run.

"Wait! (Y/n)! Why are you running?" Eijiro calls out to me and I hear footsteps follow after me.

"I don't know!" I call back to him honestly as I continue running.

"Then stop!" Without warning I felt a strong pull on my arm causing me to stop, and stumble backwards a bit. "Come on, I just want to talk to you." Eijiro begs. I sigh and turn around to him. My heart swoons at the worried look in his eyes. "Last time I saw you you were sleep deprived and hurting. I dont know if that's gotten better or worse." He turns a little pink and lets go of my hand and instead bringing it to the back of his neck. "I'm worried you know?"

I don't respond and play with the bottom of my shorts, trying my best to not break down and tell him how much I missed him and how much hurt I've been dealing with since the last time I saw him.

"So can we finally talk? We don't have to talk about things you don't want to. I've missed just talking nonsense with you." His deep voice is sincere as he stares down towards me. 'Oh geez why do you have to be so kind.'

"I can't talk." I mumble after a minute of silence, my voice cracking a little. I take a deep breath in through the nose as tears make their way closer to the outside world. "If I talk... I'll break down." I look up towards the sky, trying to angle my face away from him as I try to hold my tears in.

"Woah! Why are you crying!" Eijiro's hands land on my shoulder and I can't stop the sob that comes from my mouth.

"Oh god!" I bring my hands up to my eyes and cover them as I begin releasing all my held back emotions into my palms, wetting them with my tears an possible some snot.

Eijiro leads me towards something away from the middle of the sidewalk. He pushes me down by the shoulders and I realize he's brought me to a bench. He sits down next to me and puts one of this arms around my shaking shoulders.

"I'm sorry." I sob and lean into him. My crying has become less intense now and I am able to at least make some coherent sentences.

"Why are you sorry?"

"You came to talk to me and I had my mom send you away." Another sob rips itself from my chest. "You are just trying to help me and I'm just making you leave." His warm hand begins rubbing my back in a comforting way before he speak again.

"I understand, you're just scared." He whispers as he tries to calm me down. "I shouldn't push you too hard to get you to tell me what's going on. I'm just worried you'll leave then something will happen and you'll never come back." Just as I had finished crying, another wave of tears come out.

"I missed you Eijiro Kirishima." I tell him through my tears. I force myself to look up and meet his red eyes with my tears (e/c) eyes. His face turns a light pink and his eyebrows furrow, I probably look like a kicked puppy at this point but I don't care. "I thought you had left for good. I was so scared. I didn't think I would be able to make it if I hadn't talked with you soon." I admit without thinking. His face is blurry as the tears keep coming.

"What do you mean?" He asks. His voice is lower than usual and full of worry. I don't know how, but I think he had figured out what I was on my way home to do. No one was home it was the perfect time. I wipe my eyes then wipe my hands on my shirt and shorts before grabbing his hands in mine. His hands felt rough and huge in my hands and I loved it.

"I'm fine now." I force a smile and the tears come again but don't leave their spots in my eyes. My smile drops for a second as I try to change the subject. "But, why did you leave? Where did you go?" I ask softly. "You were gone for a week. That's a week too long." I blush a little at my self.

"That's what I was trying to I talk to you about when your mom and sent me away, I was going off to a internship at a hero agency for school." I release a sigh of relief before a real smile comes to my face.

"Well, that makes me feel better. I thought you had left me." My smile drops as do my eyes as I star at the grass underneath our shoes. "I thought you moved away without telling me goodbye." I squeeze his hands tighter. "And that scared me so bad." Looking up again I see Eijiro staring at me with wide eyes. "I was scared I'd loose the only person who cares about me just because they're a good person and not related to me in anyway." Without warning, Eijiro leans forward and captured my lips in his. His hands leave mine and cup my face gently, leaning in and deepening our kiss. His eyes are closed and his eyebrows are furrowed. I follow suit and close my own eyes before grabbing his face into my hands and kissing back.

Our lips moved together in sync as we spoke about how we felt for each other without using our words. In this moment I was able to actually forget about my abuse and about what would probably await me at home. I was just in this moment, and that was enough.

Aye yoooo they did the kiss kiss 😂😂😂 Okay Lol well I joe you enjoyed and did I move their relationship on too fast? I don't know. And if I did oop, what's done is done lmao. So yeahhhh good day/night!
