The next few minutes before we left went by fast, I came out of my room to see Sho already dressed in a button-up. I decided on a random skirt and shirt I had and he complimented me at least 3 times.

He kissed me again twice before we left, he pulled back each time I tried to return the kiss then laughed when I pouted each time. Right before we walked out of the house he stopped me.

"What's wrong?" We were just about to leave...

He looked right into my eyes and I looked up into his. "Look, if anything happens-" he grabbed my hands and held them in his "I need you to know I love you, and that if I could've avoided having this man set up our date I would've. I wish we could do this on our own terms but I need you to know I have no choice."

He looks like he's about to cry.....

He starts to walk away and slide his hands out of mine when I grab his hand and stop him, I don't know what to say so I just blurt out "I-I love you too!"

He laughs a little and I'm glad he's not going to cry, I don't know if I could handle that emotionally after everything. "I know baby, you already said that. Let's get going?"

"Yeah, we won't let this asshole ruin our night!" I smiled up at him and raced him to the car.

He got there before me and opened the door for me. Once we both got in the black SUV and he closed the door, Sho turned to the driver and nodded at him in the mirror. We immediately started driving and I rushed to buckle my seatbelt.

"What're you doing that for?" Did he really just ask me that?

"What?" Did he?

"Why are you putting your seatbelt on?" He did?!

"Because I don't want to die like this?" I finish buckling and look at him.

He stares back at me with confusion all over his face "What? How will you die?"

I facepalm and sigh before explaining it to him "You see, when there's an accident and you don't have a seatbelt on, there's a higher chance you will fly through the windshield and die."

He looks even more confused "But there's not gonna be an accident?" He even sounds confused!

"Wha-" what do I even say to him? "How do you know? Are you psychic?"

He looks down and mumbles "no, that's Midoriya's power...."

"What?"

He keeps staring at his lap "Just a conversation we had yesterday, it was weird..." ok then.....

We sit in silence for a while and I think about random things like animals and Sho, when a thought occurs to me, "How long's this ride supposed to take, it'll be lunchtime soon?" I take out my phone and look at him.

"Are you hungry?"

"Are you?"

"You're more important than me..."

"Yeah, but I'm used to not eating so-" fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck I fucked up..... he's just about to talk when I manage to lean up and kiss him to get him to shut up.

He's surprised but quickly starts kissing back, leaning down so I'm more comfortable. We kiss for a minute, it getting deeper and deeper until I realize-

I pull back and push his face away from me "you fucker!"

"Kaaaaaaaaaat" he groans and rolls around on the seat, just making me madder.

"No." I feel someone else's eyes on me and lock eyes with the driver, "something wrong?"

"No sir-uh ma'am-uhhh........boss, no boss. Nothing's wrong." and he goes back to focusing on the road.

Sho starts laughing and I lock eyes with him, crossing my arms.

He immediately sits up and leans his head on my shoulder, kind of like a cat. He stops laughing and starts to rub his head on my shoulder and neck.

"Can I help you?" I'm not in the mood, we've got at least another hour car ride and nothing better to do.

"C'mon Kat, what'd I do?" He doesn't know, we argued about this earlier?

"Seatbelt." Put it on, before you die.

By me or an accident, we'll never know.

"I don't wannaaaaaa" I'm surprised he hasn't started purring yet......

"Then get off me." You're gonna get hair on my shirt.

He lifts his head up and I miss his touch for a second while he buckles his seatbelt. He's moved to the middle while I lean against the door and I think that's probably because he wants to cuddle more.

"Ta-da! Better baby?" He smiles at me and slowly starts to lean towards my shoulder again.

"Much better, go ahead." I laugh a little as he lays his head back down and I uncross my arms so I can reach across and pet his head.

We sit in that comfortable silence for a while, him leaning on me and me looking out the window while absent-mindedly playing with his hair.

I think about the most random things first, books or conspiracy theories then I start to think about what brought me here.

I've liked Sho for a while, I realize. I used to never know why I would sometimes feel like just sitting in the locker room for a while and sometimes I would just walk out.

Every time my brain told me to stay, Sho was there.

I would always stare at people because I blanked out in thought and didn't realize they were standing there. Whenever I didn't get yelled at for it and get in a shouting match, it felt weird.

Every time I didn't get in a fight, Sho was my victim. I would stare at his hair and think about how it ended up like that, or how he got that scar on his eye.

Every other person I stared at, I'd be thinking about homework or dreading going back home but with Sho, it was always about him.

How did I have a crush for at least a year and not realize it?

I slowly drifted out of my thoughts just in time to see it coming.

There was a car driving directly down the middle of the highway, heading right for us...
