If everything could ever feel this real forever

If anything could ever be this good again

The only thing I'll ever ask of you



Autumn was always my favourite season. A lot of people I knew preferred spring, but to me autumn seemed even more magical. Both seasons were incredibly colourful, but in autumn the colours just seemed to blend together in a nicer way, it was like everything just fit nicer than in spring.

And when the sun was out, everything just seemed so much nicer in autumn when it wasn't as blazing hot as in summer anymore. I always found it very calming. Shouta and I had our first actual date in autumn. It wasn't really a date, we didn't call it that at the time, anyway. It was the two of us hanging out at the park, getting ice cream, talking about everything and anything. And making out.

"You wanna hang out this afternoon?" Shouta had asked during detention. I had glanced back at Hideko behind us who was rolling her eyes dramatically, but still listened curiously to our conversation.

"Uh, sure. Who else is coming? What are we doing?" I asked. We hadn't really hung out together - just the two of us - since we had broken into the pool, so I assumed it was just the regular squad.

"No one else. Just us. We can get coffee or ice cream or both or... well, whatever you want really. And we could just hang out and talk. What do you think?" he wanted to know. I could feel Hideko's stares in my back.

"Sure, sounds cool. So is this like a date or something?" I asked, trying to sound cool, but I couldn't help blushing.

"Uh, yeah, I suppose. Detention's over in 15 minutes, so we can head out straight after that." he replied.

"Yeah, sounds good." I answered with a smile, still blushing furiously. Why was my body reacting like that? I wasn't even that embarrassed, I mean, this was my boyfriend. We were a thing.

Shouta just smiled and now here we were, in the park, a cup of fancy coffee in our hands and a bag of cookies between us. We were sitting on a park bench under a maple tree, so we would be in the shade. The sun was out and it was beautiful, but it was also really hot and we were in our winter uniforms. Sitting in the sun would have just been way too hot, so I appreciated the shade.

We both probably looked terrifying, since our faces were still bruised. Shouta's eye was mostly purple with some of it turning yellow already and my cheek still had a big bruise. Shouta's lip was still busted, too. Honestly, all we had to do to keep people off our backs at this point was hiss at them.

Of course, we didn't hiss at them. But with how much we were in our own bubble, we might as well have. It just seemed like the most surreal thing for the two of us to actually go out and hang out in a park like two normal teenagers. For once we weren't U.A. students, but just the two of us, at the park. On a date.

"I still can't believe that Iida actually went and told on Watanabe. I wonder what they're gonna do with him. I mean, we told Iida the whole story, but I don't know how much he actually told the teacher..." Shouta muttered and buried his face in my hair, kissing the top of my head in the process.

"I'm pretty sure he gave them all the details. Honestly, Watanabe is going to be suspended for a long time. If they're not expelling him, that is. Sensei seemed pretty apologetic when he was talking to me." I replied, a big grin on my face.

"Really? He seemed to be his usual self when he was talking to me. But yeah, Watanabe is getting at least a suspension. I'm still surprised by Iida's guts. For some reason I'd never have expected that of him." he said.

"He's not that bad, you know. He was pretty nice to me after our sparring match at the Sports Festival. I mean, he's a bit of a nerd, but he's actually a decent guy." I told him and grabbed a cookie from the paper bag that we were sharing between us. These were probably the nicest cookies I had ever had.

"Yeah, he's always been nice to all four of us, I guess." Shouta mused and then looked down on me, smiling.

"What?" I asked, glancing up into his eyes. He just grinned and leaned down, giving me an upside down kiss.

"You're cute." he just said and continued giving me small kisses all over my face, while I giggled and tried to save the half-eaten cookie in my hand from getting crumbled by all the movement.

"Stop, I'm trying to eat here!" I protested laughing. Shouta stopped and rested his forehead against mine.

"You know, this date is pretty fun. We should do this more often." he muttered. I sat up and leaned my head on his chest.

"We're going to do this more often. You're my boyfriend now. You're supposed to take me on dates and do all kinds of cheesy stuff with me. Like meet my parents and introduce me to you parents and all that." I answered jokingly. He didn't reply for a long time, after I said that and I started panicking.

Had I said something wrong? Why was he so quiet? What was going on? I looked up and saw him staring into the distance. There was no smile on his face. Oh no. What had I said that was wrong?

"Hey, you know, I was only joking, right? You don't have to take me out on dates all the time, really, I don't mind..." I said quickly. He shook his head and gave me a forced smile, before sighing.

"No, that's not it. That's not it at all. It's just... about my parents." he answered, looking away, as if he was embarrassed.

"What about them?" I wanted to know. Shouta sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He looked like he wasn't really sure what to tell me. And that's when I realized that I hadn't really heard him talk about his parents at all. We had never gone to his house to hang out, it seemed like Shouta was just there and didn't have a family or a past or anything. Like he existed outside all that somehow.

"I just don't think it's a good idea for you to meet them." he muttered and kicked a small pebble.

"You... Are your parents... are they alive?" I asked, wondering whether he was maybe living in foster care and that's why he was never talking about it. He just sighed and rubbed his eyes.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to bring up anything bad or any bad memories or... ugh, I don't know what I'm saying. I'm sorry." I rambled. I couldn't believe how dumb I probably sounded.

"No, (F/N), stop worrying so much. You didn't do or say anything wrong. My parents are both perfectly alive, they are just... not the nicest people to be around and I don't really want you to... well, I guess to see that. And to see where we live and... look, it's complicated, okay? If you really want to meet them, I can see if there is maybe a day that'll be good, but... well, honestly, I think I'm just gonna need some time..." he explained. He looked incredibly embarrassed.

"Hey, don't even worry about it. Sure, I'd like to meet them, some day. But take all the time you need. Honestly, there's no rush. And however bad it is... it'll take more than your parents being terrible people to get rid of me." I answered with a smile and gave him a tight hug. He pulled me a little closer, before letting go and smiling at me. It was a sad smile and it almost broke my heart.

"Thank you."

I grinned at him and climbed onto his lap, one leg either side facing him, with my arms still wrapped around his neck. He looked flustered for a second, before he returned to his rational self, but I lived for those small moments, when I managed to catch him off guard, as rare as they were.

I pressed my lips against his and was pulled closer to him, his arms slung around my hips, as our kisses got more and more heated. I was pretty sure I was ruining both my kneesocks and my knees with this, but I didn't really care too much. I'd just tell my parents I had fallen on the way home or something.

"Always the same with these young people - no shame at all..." I heard someone behind us muttering. I broke up our kiss and glanced behind us, where an older man was passing our park bench. I turned back to Shouta and we shortly looked at each other with a shocked expression, before we burst into laughter.
