"hey bokuto, can i sleep over tonight?" 

"yeah sure, my parents are away on business this week anyways."

the two of you were headed home after the fair, the small stuffed bear swinging by bokuto's side. 

"thanks!" you flash a broad smile, before skipping ahead, humming cheerfully, 

bokuto smiled fondly at you before running to catch up with you. he hated to admit it, but even the smallest smile from you seemed to make his heart beat faster. 

and now you were sleeping over. the person he had a crush on was sleeping over. he could almost squeal at the idea of it. 

it's true that the two of you had gotten extremely close, so close that bokuto felt like he'd known you for years. the two of you had an amazing dynamic, perfectly balancing each other out. 

he wanted to tell you how he felt. 

but would you reciprocate his feelings? what if you rejected him? what if-

"bokuto. earth to bokuto," you waved your arms in front of his face. "koutarou!" 

bokuto snapped out of his train of thought. "a-ah, sorry," he blushed.

"what were you thinking about?" you asked. 

"you," he smiled. 

✰✰✰

"stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid," you cursed at yourself quietly, while banging your head repeatedly on the bathroom wall. bokuto was downstairs watching a movie, and you were supposed to be taking a shower. 

you paced back and forth, muttering to yourself. a/n pack it up midoriya 🙄

your previous conversation with bokuto flashed in your mind. 

"what were you thinking about?"

"you"

"EEESDKJ," you clutch your face and force yourself to look at your reflection in the mirror. 

your face was tinted pink, your hair damp from the shower. the new hoodie bokuto had given you hung loosely over your thighs. 

"i guess i really do like him," you mumbled. 

"oh my goddd, this is too cliché," you groaned, as a wave of embarrassment hit you. 

you pulled out your phone to check the time.

"crap, i've been in here for too long. he probably thinks i clogged his toilet or something."

you quickly collected your things and gave yourself one final look in the mirror. 

"you got this." you mouthed to yourself.
