I really want to kiss you (pt 2)

andrew garfield x famous! reader

One Rule Series

pt 2 to We were not eye-f*cking!

In which you shouldn’t get involved with your costar but you and andrew have a lot of trouble keeping your hands to yourself

rating: ??? mainly pg 13 but it gets a tad smutty (swearing, sexual themes, once again horny andrew and horny reader)

all characters are ages 20-22. Andrew is 21, Reader is 20. In this universe only Tobey’s spider-man movies have been made so Tom and Andrew are not spider-man. I also use current young Hollywood actors as characters so it’s basically present day except Andrew is the same age as them if that makes sense! reader’s friend group/ costars consist of andrew garfield, zendaya, florence pugh, hunter schafer, tom holland, and timothee chalamet. There’s also some background tomdaya for the sake of the plot

a/n: omg okay hi? thank you guys so much for all the love on pt 1! i’d like to make this a series but i’ll probably keep it in the sort of hc bulletpoint format and if anyone had any suggestions or requests for the andrew x costar! reader escapades or would like to be tagged in the series feel free to let me know! Also i will be making a masterlist as soon as I figure out how to do that lol.

You like to think you have pretty good self control and you do

that is until the 2 A’s are involved: Andrew and alcohol

You and your costars are currently scattered around your living room in the middle of a Cars marathon and because of Florence’s brilliant idea of taking a shot every time you hear the phrase ‘kachow’ it’s safe to say that everyone is fairly wasted

You get touchy when you’re drunk and maybe that would explain why you’re currently resting your head in andrew’s lap, platonically of course, and he’s an equally touchy drunk which would probably explain why he’s taken your left hand hostage mindlessly drawing tiny shapes in your palm and playing with your fingers, platonically of course

Somewhere between the first and second movie everyone else had fallen asleep on your couch or on the floor and as the credits roll you look up to find that Andrew’s already looking at you

“hi” he whispers and you respond with a hi back before adding an “are you tired” to which he just shakes his head and after a pause adds “I’m a bit hungry though”

So that’s how you ended up in your kitchen with andrew eating little generic sugar cookies with Christmas trees printed on them

“These cookies are quite festive but it’s a bit early don’t you think?” Andrew comments with a nudge to your side

“It’s never too early”

“It’s literally June. By all rules of holiday timing that is entirely too early”

“Yea but rules kinda suck.” Your statement immediately reminded him that he probably shouldn’t be doing what he’s doing right now as your director’s words play back in his head. ‘Don’t get involved with your costars. Keep it in your pants’

So he definitely shouldn’t be standing this close to you. Or looking at you like that. Or thinking about you way he is right now. “Yea rules kinda do suck” but he takes a step closer to you anyways

It’s right about then that you realize how close he is to you but neither of you make any moves to distance yourselves

“We could uh- we could go watch another movie” you offer to try and get your mind off of how close he is and how good he looks and how he’s now sporting a black tank and some shorts and his biceps are on display and shit since when were his arms that-

“We could. We could. Or ya know not because I’ve uh I mean I’ve seen them all already so it might just be a waste of time” his voice was low and gravelly and god he’s so hot

“You’ve seen all the movies?” You ask causing him to nod his head up and down

“mhmm. mhmm I’m really really into movies. Big movie guy but um didn’t you say you got that new Spiderman video game we could play that if you want” he is kinda just rambling now because at some point his hand had found your hip and you once again made no move to distance yourself and his eyes keep trailing down to your lips and he thinks you might have the prettiest lips he’s ever seen and-

“We could. Or not because I’m alarmingly good at that game so compared to me you’d suck and I wouldn’t want to hurt your ego”

“Oh, how kind of you” he teases

“I know I’m a saint, but if they ever decide to make another movie you’d probably make a hell of a spiderma-“

“I really want to kiss you” oh. He nearly surprised himself with how bold his statement was and you realize that you’re now nose to nose. And your eyes travel from his eyes to his lips and back. don’t get involved with your costars. don’t get involved with your costars. don’t get involved with your costars. “but if I kiss you” he continues “I don’t know if I’ll be able to stop kissing you”

Fuck it

You grab him by the shirt and pull him into you closing the gap as your lips meet

He responds instantly and suddenly he’s everywhere: his hands on your body as he backs you up against the counter, his lips on yours, and his hands drop down to your ass giving it a light squeeze as his tongue enters your mouth

Andrew thinks he’s died and gone to heaven. His mind has gone fuzzy: being this close to you, actually holding you in his arms, finally getting to know what your lips taste like after months of sneaking glances at them when you’d talk with him for hours on set

His hands travel down to your thighs to lift you onto your kitchen counter without breaking the kiss

Your lips move down to his neck earning a whimper from him that makes you weak in the knees

“fuck y/n” he moans barely above a whisper and you think you might spontaneously combust on the spot

His hands find the buttons of your pajama top before lifting your head up so you’re face to face again

“Is this okay?” He asks playing with the buttons of your shirt and you nod giving him the okay to remove your top

“Wow” he says with wide eyes when he discovers that you’ve decided to go braless for the night and his eyes are glued to your bare chest

“so are you just gonna stare or-“ you tease. He takes in a deep breath before responding “sorry they’re just like perfect so I feel like I just need to commit them to memory” after a pause he adds “okay I’m good” and brings his right hand up to grope at your boobs, kneading them in his palm, thumb brushing over your hardening nipple as he returns lips to yours occasionally kissing down to your chest to suck a nipple into his mouth

You slide your hands under his shirt and he takes the hint that you want it off and separates from you briefly to pull it over his head

“Wow” you return back ogling his shirtless body. “you want a minute to commit it to memory?” He asks. You wrap your legs around his waist and pull him back into you and drag your hands down his chest resting them on his abs. “Mm I’m more of a hands on learner myself” you respond pulling him into another kiss

You’re not sure how long you’ve been making out at this point but his hands are starting to play with the waistband of your shorts causing you to giggle and pull away from him. “Maybe we should move this somewhere else. People eat on this counter ya know.” You suggest and without missing a beat he counters with “oh don’t worry, I definitely plan on eating something” your eyes widen and he just continues “but I kinda really want you to sit on my face and I guess that’d be kinda hard on the counter”. You weren’t expecting him to have such a casually dirty mouth but you definitely were not complaining

He’s just about to lift you off the counter when you’re interrupted by a light turning on in the hallway and the sound of footsteps and you are suddenly aware of how naked you are in your kitchen with a man that you’ve been making heart eyes at for months: definitely not a situation that you can ‘it’s not what it looks like’ your way out of because frankly it’s exactly what it looks like

There’s not much time to look like you weren’t just doing what you were doing but you manage to hop off the counter, Andrew shielding your body with his as he hands you his shirt to put on

In a few seconds, a shirtless somewhat disheveled looking Tom rounds the corner letting out a startled “oh shit” when he sees the two of you, not really expecting you to be standing in your kitchen in the middle of the night. “Sorry guys I was uh- I was just uh-“ it’s at about this moment that Tom fully registers that Andrew is just standing there, shirtless, and his attention is then brought to you who just so happens to wearing the shirt that Andrew was wearing earlier. You can practically see him putting the pieces together in his head as he takes in both you and andrew’s flustered appearance and spots your discarded pajama shirt on the floor before returning his attention to the two of you with a slight smirk on his face knowing that he’s been teasing Andrew about his crush on you for months but he didn’t know if he’d ever make a move. Andrew is red in the face looking guilty as ever and you wonder how this is the same guy. that had just shamelessly told you he wanted you to sit on his face.

“Any reason why you’re shirtless in y/n’s kitchen, Andrew?” He asks smug as ever. Andrew is quick to try to come up with an excuse. “Look mate, we were just-“ “oh I know what you were doing”. Tom interrupts sending a wink Andrew’s way. It’s not until now that you begin to take in Tom’s appearance.

“Is there any reason why you’re shirtless in my kitchen Tom?” You ask. Tom suddenly fumbles for a response “oh uh ya know just uh wandering around, such a lovely house the show runners put you up in y/n. Love what you’ve done with the place. Looks real ni-“ Tom is interrupted by a voice from the hallway “Tom what’s taking you so lo- oh shit. Heyyyyy guys” Zendaya says entirely too suspiciously as she enters the room wearing Tom’s shirt.

You and Andrew shared a look. oh you were gonna have some fun with this.

“I like the shirt Z, where’d you get it” Andrew starts. Tom is quick to jump in “Look, we were just-“ “oh we know what you were doing” you interrupt now with the same smug attitude tom had earlier.

“Okay how about this” Z starts “we didn’t see you. you didn’t see us.”

“Deal.” You respond immediately but also shoot each her a look that says ‘we will talk about this later’. “Guest bedrooms are upstairs”

“Oh we already found them but uh could you get me a water from the fridge” tom asks and Andrew opens the fridge and tosses a water to Tom. “Use protection” you comment teasingly as they turn to leave.

“We’re just sleeping y/n, but as for you hope you don’t choke on his dick” Z teases back. “Hope you do choke on his” you respond earning you a laugh from. Tom and Andrew and a middle finger from her as she follows Tom up the stairs mumbling a “there’s nothing going on between us my ass” in reference to your earlier conversation.

After a moment you go to pick up you shirt from the floor and stand back up to feel Andrew’s strong pair of arms wrap around your waist and his lips meet the shell of your ear

“so... where were we?”

navigation | requests : open | 9th feb 2021 |

pairing : bakugou, todoroki, shinso x gn!reader [separate]

genre : angsty fluff

warnings : mentions of toxic relationships/toxic past, abuse, read note below,

themes : toxic relationships, hurt, not specified trauma, only talk, mutual pining

note : i’ve never seen a headcanon for this and of course i would never write about this if i didn’t have experience on this and how it feels and i wouldn’t write about this if i didn’t know how much it hurts and sticks with someone, i’m not saying you can’t write about such events if you haven’t been through it but the emotions you can feel when in a toxic relationship is much more complex than one might think, i’m proud of everyone who’s been through this if you want to talk about this or you’re going through something right now my dms are open always <3

[ bakugou ]

> before you and bakugou started dating you knew you liked eachother but neither of you made a move

> that was until he realised his feelings for you couldn’t just pass with time

> he knew however much he tried you’d still make him feel funny whenever he sees you

> so he decided to ask you on a date, he didn’t show it but when you said yes he was over the moon

> since this is your first date since you had been in a toxic relationship you were nervous

> the first date went amazing he held you hand after you got ice cream and you got coffee, drinking it as you walked in the moonlight

> ‘y/n, i uhh- i like you a lot’ he said cringing a little as he blushed, you were both leaning against a railing which was placed over beach watching the waves crash against the sand as the moon shon over

> ‘i like you too katsuki’ you smiled blushing as a unknown feeling creeped up your body, it was unknown in a good way but it still made you feel uncomfortable and weary

> bakugou noticed your furrowed eyebrows ‘are you feeling okay?’

> you nodded quickly not wanting to talk about how you felt since it always led to arguments with them

> ‘in that case’ he cupped your face gently with his pulling you in, ‘you’re mine’ he grinned placed a soft kiss on your lips which you returned

> you’ve been together a couple weeks now, almost a month

> bakugou has realised you’re not the same as you were before you were dating he knew some things would change since you’re dating now but he didn’t think you’d be distant

> if anything he thought you’d be closer to him and he couldn’t help but think if it was because of him

> everytime you’re alone he notices you tensing up a little when he touches you, whether it’s a hand around your shoulder or on your face you tense up

> but you don’t do that when mina or your friends touch you so he was convinced it was him

> after you had only glanced at him not talked to him through school again he decided he had to talk to you about this

> he knocked on your door as a warning before walking in, you were sat at your desk watching anime and he frowned a little

> he knows he isn’t too affectionate or by any means perfect as a boyfriend but you’re always watching movies with other people or series and he wanted to do that but everytime he brought up the idea of spending time watching something together you never got around to doing it, acting as if you forgot

> ‘y/n what the hell is going on?’ he frowned as you looked up with fear in your eyes

> ‘i- what do you mean’ he didn’t notice the fear he was thinking about every possible reason for your distance

> ‘i mean am i not fucking good enough anymore?, we’re meant to be closer as a couple not fuckin further apart’ he raised his voice a little as he walked towards your desk

> ‘i don’t get what you mean uh, am i being too much?’ you respond, you always got told you were too pushy and needy so you didn’t want to make the same mistake with bakugou

> ‘i mean why the fuck don’t you even touch me for fuck sake, y/n you barely fucking hang out with me i barely know anything about you because you don’t stay and talk to me for more than 10 fuckin minutes’ he edged closer to you now towering over you,

> ‘i-i uhm’ your words got caught in your throat as his arm left his side and as he opened his mouth you flinched shutting your eyes and shaking a little as tears filled your eyes

> then there was silence, he was trying to get him hair out of his eyes, ‘did- did you think that i was going to..’ he was hurt that you thought he’d do that, that he made you feel unsafe

> ‘y/n...’ you looked up at him, he saw the tears peaking out of the corner of your eyes slowing lifting his hand to wipe it

> ‘has someone done that to you before’ you nod as he placed his chin on your shoulder carefully rubbing your back up and down soothingly, he didn’t know how it felt but he knows that nobody deserves this and if he can help in any way he will, even if it means letting down his guard for you

> you explained how the last person you were with didn’t like your affection and love because you showed it to your friends and they wanted you to only show him love and no one else

> ‘y/n i’m not angry that you show your friends love idiot, it’s because you don’t let yourself open up to me, i want you to feel safe alright idiot not the other away around, i’ll help.. and for the record i don’t care if you hug and show them extras love that doesn’t bother me just don’t let yourself be so guarded around me, i’m here for you to feel safe alright’

> you nod wrapping your arms around bakugous torso as he picks you up still rubbing your back, he sat on the bed leaning back letting your head rest on his chest

> ‘now what’s that extras name teddybear’

[ todoroki ]

> todoroki made you feel safe but that feeling is new to you so you didn’t understand what it was

> before you started dating you both got close as friends, you knew you liked him but being friends made you feel safe with him and dating has scared you, he didn’t know much about your last relationship only that it hurt you

> but he didn’t know that meant they literally hurt you

> so when he asked you, you said yes because of how amazing and happy it made you feel

> before you started dating you always laid your head on his lap to nap or talk to him, you were open and honest

> but you didn’t know how to act, you wanted to be yourself but that wasn’t enough then with them so why would it be now you thought

> todoroki noticed your change in behaviour and also noticed you always change when he’s around which led him to believe that he made you uncomfortable

> so when you were sat watching a movie he asked you getting a little insecure and heated

> ‘y/n do i make you uncomfortable?’ he said noticing how your eyes widen

> ‘no! how funny.. of course not’ you smiled which was clearly a fake smile to him and you wouldn’t have answered him like that if you didn’t have this act on

> ‘then why are you acting different? please don’t lie to me.. i don’t like this you seem like a different person and i don’t know why’

> ‘how would you want me to act shoto’ you replied with the same look in your eyes, you weren’t being sarcastic you genuinely wanted to know and that made him confused

> ‘y/n i don’t .. control you, be yourself.. is this really what you think of me, you think i want you to change how you act, your personality’ he moved his hand from his hair moving towards your face making you shut your eyes flinching

> his eyes widened at this, his hand was on your shoulder he was trying to comfort you but before he could get his words out you flinched at him ‘y/n.. what was that’

> he moved his hand away in fear that he’d scare you again

> you wiped away the tears forming as he looked at you with sadness, ‘i’m sorry’ you spluttered out as you moved to get up and leave

> before you could you felt a cautious hand hold yours ‘talk to me, please’

> you sat back down, his hand still in yours his thumb grazing over your hand soothing you

> ‘i told you about my ex, i was never enough so i acted different.. just to please him, i could never be myself and when i was myself.. he didn’t like it’ you said staring at your hands

> he moved his hand up slowly so you could see and placed it on your cheek as he moved towards you

> ‘y/n i fell in love with you, no one else only you, you’re more than enough for me, i don’t want some other version of you i want all of you. you’re perfect to me and if they don’t appreciate that then they’re fucking stupid’ you smiled a little at his uncharacteristic swearing

> ‘i love you, thank you sho’ you rested your head on his lap, your head faced his shirt he leaned down turning your head, kissing you slowly as you hummed into the kiss smiling feeling that same safe feeling you felt before but this time the feeling was stronger

> ‘don’t thank me my love’

[ shinso ]

> you first met shinso at the sports festival and since you’re in different classes you don’t spend time together during school time other than a couple minutes at lunch

> you both started meeting up more and more until you realise you like him a lot

> you refused to date him even if he does like you you couldn’t date him because of your ex, you were afraid of getting hurt again

> shinso knows you like him because of the way you look at him and stare at him across the cafeteria and the way you get flustered everytime he comes over

> your friends knew how much you like him and told you to go for it but since they’re the ones you went to when you finally broke it off with your ex they understand why you shouldn’t

> the only one who didn’t agree and told you not to date him was bakugou ‘are you fucking stupid!? they’re not getting hurt again they don’t need him’ he was a little too protective

> when he told you he liked you, you panicked ‘i uh, i like you too but i just, i can’t sorry’ and with that you panicked running away

> the next day he found you at the lockers the halls empty ‘what was that yesterday?’

> ‘sorry i’m not good with this’ you mumbled as he got confused

> ‘are you dating bakugou is that why you can’t be with me?’ he said observing your reaction sighing when you started panicking

> ‘what?.. no! i don’t.. i’m not with bakugou i’m just not-’

> ‘y/n.. i like you a lot i do but this is.. messy bakugou came and threatened me earlier’ you flinched shaking as he moved his hand closer, not thinking you thought he was going to hurt you because of your indecisiveness

> immediately after he took you in his arms ‘shit what the fuck.. y/n i’m sorry’ he held you as you teared up telling you about why you don’t feel ready and that’s why bakugou threatened him

> ‘i’ll wait, for now we can just be friends until you’re comfortable alright kitten?’ his chin rested on your head until he looked down at you and took both his thumbs wiping both cheeks pressing a small kiss to your cheek

> after a couple months of hanging out and being friends you were talking to your friends

> ‘alright i guess he’s fine’ bakugou admitted as you talked to them about how you felt

> you called shinso ‘hey shinso come over to class a’s dorms’

> as soon as he arrived you sat in your room gaming, after a few rounds passed you took your controller from him placing it beside you and turning to face him on your bed

> ‘shinso’

> ‘yes kitten’

> you grinned as he raised his brow smiling back at you his purple locks framing his face, ‘i’m ready’

> as soon as those words left your lips he jumped at you climbing on top of you as you giggled, he tickled you making you laugh harder

> after a couple minutes of play fighting he layed his head on your chest smiling furiously but not letting you see that

> ‘then you’re mine’

Better Than Him

Bakugo Katsuki x M!Reader

Requested? Yes.

Word Count: 2914

When you first started UA, you didn’t have many friends. None of your friends from middle school had gotten accepted into the school, and none of them stuck around either. You didn’t have much of an need to go out of your way to make them, but you didn’t made making some if people approached you. That’s how this all began, because Mina Ashido decided that the handsome pretty boy of the class should be her friend.

Mina was always took her time to go out of her way with you. Partnering up for classwork? She went with you. Needed a partner for hero work? Right by your side.

She was a great friend, and she grew on you. It was just the two of you for a bit in the beginning of the year, that was until the Sports Festival happened. Both of you ended up bonding with Sero, Kirishima, Kaminari, and the infamous Bakugo Katsuki.

Unlike your classmates, you didn’t have a problem with Bakugo’s constant rage and raised voice. You knew he wasn’t a bad guy, just someone who needed to prove himself. You didn’t believe it clicked within your classmates, but you didn’t feel like defending someone who didn’t need it. Besides, if you did, you thought you’d only offend him in the end.

Overtime, you all became close friends. Your relationship with Mina grew and stabilized into best friends while your relationships with the others continues to grow.

“Yo, [Name].” You heard Kirishima call out, his desk behind yours. Still, he felt the need to stand next to your deck.

“Yeah?” You questioned.

“You got plans for the weekend? All of us are gonna go hang at Bakugo’s place.” Kirishima explained. For the first time in a while, you were surprised. It wasn’t like Bakugo to let people into his house, especially not his friends that he tries to deny he has.

“Really? And Bakugo is all cool with it?” You questioned, leaning your head forward to get a look at the blond at his desk.

“Don’t look at me! All these idiots invited themselves!” Bakugo yelled, his eyes locked onto yours.

For some reason, you believed him.

“C’mon!” You heard Mina’s voice. When you turned your head to the other side of your desk, she was there. Her palms planted on your desktop. “It’s not like you got anything better to do, right?”

“Woah, you think highly of yourself that you think you’re my only friend.” You teased, watching as she began to pout like a child.

“C’mon, man! Don’t be scared of Bakugo, it won’t be the same without you!” Kaminari suddenly butted in, his arm wrapping around your shoulders.

“What the hell makes you think I’m scared of him?” You growled. Seriously, out of all of them, you were the least scared of the guy.

“Cause you don’t come! Unless, you got something else to do?” Kaminari questioned, a coy grin coming to his features. “Maybe, a date?”

“Oh, my god! Really? Since when?” Mina shouted, her excitement growing.

You sighed, seriously, sometimes you think these guys have nothing else to do but bother you. You weren’t complaining necessarily, but you know that for some reason beyond you, that you complete their group. Maybe it was cause you could run your mouth to Bakugo without flinching, or perhaps you were just you and they loved that about you.

“It’s not a date.” You hummed out. Your hand coming up to remove Kaminari’s arm from your body. “I just already made plans with Midoriya. Sorry.”

You didn’t think they’d make a big deal out of it, especially since most were on good terms with the green haired fool that always seems to break his bones any chance he gets. Then again, you forgot that one person isn’t his biggest fan.

“Uh? Deku? Why the hell are you wasting your time with that nerd?” Bakugo suddenly called out, all eyes now on the group. Especially Bakugo and you.

When you looked at him, it was like a war was on the brink of starting. It wand uncommon for the both of you to argue here and there, so no one was worried necessarily, but something in your gaze made his blood run cold. He really didn’t take a liking to the way you looked at him, but instead of taking into account why, he just blamed it on your quirk.

The quirk you had was tricky in more ways than one. It distorted your personality at times, and the abilities that came along with one single quirk had some people jealous, envious of you. Maybe that’s what Bakugo liked about you, he knew that people were jealous of his stupidly-awesome quirk just like they were of yours. You had a commonality, and that made him see you as an equal. Though, as he got to know you, that quickly turned into respect.

“What? Jealous I’m hanging with him instead of you?” You asked in a snarky tone that made Bakugo almost pop a vein.

“Why the hell would I be jealous of that loser?” He yelled, his hand slamming down hard on his desk. Some of his classmates flinched at the noise, but you remained perfectly still. Continuing to give him that annoying look that he wanted to just wipe off your face.

“Don’t know,” you hummed. Your eyes still not removing themselves from Bakugo’s orbs. It was odd to you how this guy chooses to act this way in school but when he’s just hanging out with you, he’s the chillest guy you’d ever met. Though, that was only if it was just you and him. “But, I’ll be free another day. So don’t go missing me too much.”

“Like I’d ever miss you, idiot!” He screamed out once more in retaliation.

You just smiled to yourself before class shortly after started. You wish you could go, but you’re a man of your word and promised Midoriya you’d help him out. Besides, if you weren’t loyal, what else did you have left? Your quirk made it quite difficult to be anything else.

When that weekend passed, Bakugo tried to ask you to hang out with him. There was a carnival in town and he didn’t want to go with the others unless you were there. Sadly, you had to decline again.

“Sorry, Bakugo, I already made plans with Midoriya.” You told him with an apologetic smile. “Maybe next week.”

He did try again next week. It wasn’t like he wanted to, in fact, he felt pathetic doing this for weeks on end and you always rejecting him. It was just easier to deal with the chaotic antics of the others with you around. It wasn’t like he enjoyed you being around, no, not at all.

It didn’t help when everyone else started to talk about you while they all hanged out.

“Man!” Kaminari whined. “When is [Name] gonna come back and hang with us?”

“Not sure, but he’s been hanging around Midoriya a lot more lately.” Mina expressed, her eyes wondering up at the clear sky as they all walked around the park.

“Yeah, now that you mention it, those two have been getting really close, right?” Kirishima questioned. “I mean, he never really talked to him until recently. Makes ya wonder what they’re doing.”

It would be a lie to say that didn’t irk Bakugo. Did you think Deke was better than him? That couldn’t possibly be it, right? After all, he was better. He was your friend first before Deku, so why did you prefer that guy over him?

“I don’t know about [Name] but did you hear about Midoriya?” Sero suddenly asked.

Bakugo made up this mask that he wasn’t interested in this conversation whatever, but when he heard that, his ears perked up. He was never one for gossip, hell, he hated it. But for some reason when it came to you, it felt like he needed to know. Especially if Deku had a part in it.

“No, what happened?” Kaminari questioned, the others on edge.

“I overheard Uraraka talk with Iida about how Midoriya was suddenly acting weird whenever [Name] was around.” Sero started out saying. All of them at the edge of their seats, begging him to just spit it out already. “When Uraraka confronted him, Midoriya said that he was starting to like him! Can you believe that?”

“Seriously?” Mina suddenly shouted with a wide smile and somewhat flushed cheeks.

While everyone stood with shocked expressions across their features, they all asked the same questions. Did you like him as well? Is that why you wouldn’t hang with them?

Though, for Bakugo, it was a little difficult. Unlike everyone else he felt something he hasn’t in a while. He knew he had a short fuse and could be angered easily, but when he heard that it was like something twisted in his chest. It was painful, and made questions run about his mind.

The thing was, Bakugo wasn’t dumb. He cursed himself out in his mind. It wasn’t ‘hero’ behavior, he felt like a loser. He hated that. It was such a petty emotion that ran through his veins. Pure, petty jealousy.

It wasn’t until a few days later that Bakugo saw you. It was in the morning, just before class started up. Everyone was chatting with friends before they had to deal with a grumpy Aizawa in the morning.

When Bakugo walked in, his sight immediately locked onto you. You were in his seat, your body turned to face Midoriya who sat behind the spiky haired blond. You had your elbow on Midoriya’s desk, your head rested in the palm of your hand with a bright smile on your features. It was like when you smiled, in Bakugo’s eyes, you glowed. It was odd to him the first couple of times, but he started to enjoy it. It was like his own secret that no one had the privilege of seeing besides him.

“So, [Name], um,” Midoriya started to mumbled, his fingers now fidging each other. His gaze towards his desk, dancing around as he spoke but not meeting yours for a second.

“What’s up?” You questioned, wondering what he was so worried for.

“I was, uh, wonder if maybe I could draw you?” He asked in a shy tone. Though, once his eyes met yours he immediately shot his hands up and shook them before blurting out, “I mean, only if you want to!”

You stared at him for a moment. It was odd to you how this was the most difficult thing for him to ask when he’s asked you so much things over the past couple of weeks. “Sure, I don’t mind. But, make sure you get my good side.”

Midoriya chuckled. “I’ll try.”

You nodded with a smile, trying out some poses before your eyes got drawn towards the window. Rain was falling and it never ceased to capture your attention in an instant. Though, today your little show would be interrupted.

As you watched some teachers and students scramble into the school from below, your attention was quickly drawn to whoever nudged you in the back of the head. You knew there wasn’t any malice behind it, but instead just to grab your attention.

When you turned your head your eyes went up to Bakugo’s face. It was calm, and something about it was peaceful to you. His red hues were shining with something you didn’t recognize, but, for some reason, you were just happy to have it directed onto you.

“Good morning, Bakugo.” You said with a soft smile. “How was your weekend?”

“It was whatever.” Bakugo hummed. His eyes never moving anywhere else besides you. “Spiky thought it would be a fun idea to do a picnic.”

“Oh, that sounds fun. Wish I could’ve been there,” you hummed in a sweet tone. Although, before Bakugo had time to respond to your words, you let an soft hum leave your throat before saying, “By the way, I’ll be free today if you wanna hang out and catch up.”

For the first time, Bakugo’s gaze shifted to Midoriya. His calm eyes grew irritated, narrowing on the green haired teen.

You heard Midoriya yelp suddenly, but you didn’t find that any different from any other day before. When Bakugo turned back to you though he said, “Whatever, idiot. Just don’t make a mess while you’re over my house.”

You smiled, your legs bending straight as you stood from his desk. You were a few inches from him when you did, neither of you looking to back up. It was then that your innocent smile turned into a sly grin before brushing your shoulder with Bakugo as you moved back to your seat, completely missing the soft red that popped up on the tips of his ears.

After school Bakugo and you headed out without a word to your other classmates or friends. You made conversation here and there about whatever you could think about, just basically throwing your thoughts at him. It wasn’t until you both came out of the heated building and feel a chill run up your spine. It was days like these were you wish you had some fire or some kind of heat quirk like Bakugo and Todoroki have.

“Shit, it’s freezing.” You grumbled as you hugged yourself from warmth, your teeth beginning to chatter. While it was cold, you did enjoy Bakugo’s heat that helped you at least tolerate this bullshit. Though, when he suddenly stopped as you continued to walk, it didn’t take long for you to notice.

When you turned you noticed him digging around in his bag. You leaned your head to the side, confused on what he was doing. You took a step forward, your lips parting as you were about to let words slip past them. Before you had the chance though, you felt something warm wrap around you.

“Don’t freeze to death, idiot.” Bakugo said before continuing to walk.

Your eyes quickly shot down to see a scarf loosely wrapped around your neck. The gesture itself shouldn’t be anything to gush over, it was a kind thing that anyone would do. Though, for some reason, when Bakugo did it it felt like your entire body was now suddenly warm.

When both of you arrived at Bakugo’s place since it was closer to the school than yours, you noticed his parents weren’t home. It didn’t bother you since this wasn’t the first time you’ve been over without them around. But you did find it odd that Bakugo just dropped his thinks and started to travel to his room. Normally you both would grab some drinks and snacks to chill with while you hanged out, but that didn’t happen. You decided not to question him and just followed behind him silently.

You believed nothing was wrong, but when you saw him sitting at the edge of his bed with his head down, you knew you were wrong.

You sighed, leaning against the door frame you asked, “Alright, what’s wrong with you?”

Bakugo’s eyes locked on you. It would have scared you, but it wasn’t the first time he looked at you like that.

“Do you like Deku more than me or something?” He suddenly questioned, his voice prickled with thorns. One wrong move, and you knew you wouldn’t recover.

You leaned your head. “Bakugo, really?”

“Do I look like I’m joking to you, idiot?”

No, he didn’t, but you wish he was. It wasn’t like you were keeping a secret from him, but it was a pain in the ass to explain.

You sighed, your hands dug in your pockets before walking up next to Bakugo. You took a second before sitting down next to him, making sure he wouldn’t deny you. The moment you sat down you said, “Midoriya is cool and all, but just because I’ve been hanging out with him doesn’t mean that I think he’s cooler than you or something.”

Bakugo raised his head an inch. Side-eyeing you he growled, “Then why the hell are you blowing me off, huh? If you wanna hang out with that nerd so bad than just do it!”

You didn’t make any moves, nor did you try and make any snarky comments. It was hard to hold in instinct, but for him you could do it.

“I wasn’t trying to blow you off, okay?” You hummed out in the kindest voice you could muster up. “Midoriya asked me if it would be okay to get some information about my quirk for this hero journal he’s been keeping. I said yes, and it just happened to take longer than I thought.”

The blond next to you went quiet, you knew he probably felt silly or like a ‘loser’ but you didn’t think that about him at all. Not in the slightest.

With a single motion, your shoulder moved over to Bakugos’. You didn’t move, nor try to. Instead, you took in a pleasant breath of air as you relaxed into him. It’s been weeks since you could last do this, and you missed it. He would never allow you to in public or with your other friends, which, you understood and respected. So, it was really--really--nice now that you could.

“Yanno, you didn’t have to get jealous, Suki.” You cooed out.

You thought he would flip out on you. He really did hate when you called him that in private, but today, he didn’t. When you felt him move, it wasn’t like you remembered before he flips out. So, you moved your head an inch to see what he had done. A large smile growing on your lips when you noticed his head turned away from you, unable to see his face. But, you did hear him when he said, “Shut up, idiot.”

Trust You to Cheapen the Moment

George Weasley x Reader

This story is inspired from a request of my F.R.I.E.N.D.S Themed Prompt List.

Prompts: 8 & 12

"Come on, [y/n or Character] just take off your shirt and tell us!"/"you're over me? When were you...under me?"

Warnings: Sexual innuendo. Swearing.

"Congratulations on a great game tonight boys!" Lee Jordan called as Fred and George entered through the portrait hole, still sporting their Quidditch uniforms which were currently soaked in sweat.

"Thanks mate" the Twins replied in unison.

The match had been against Ravenclaw and although Gryffindor naturally won, it hadn't been an easy feat. One which involved George coping a rather nasty bludger to the ribs. As such their win inevitably concluded with a stern lecture from their team Captain, Oliver Wood who remarked their performance as "sloppy". This being the reason as to why they were late to their own victory party.

"Well, hello boys" [Y/N] called as she made her way toward the three boys by the entrance, accompanied by a friend of her own. "Playing a tad messy these days, aren't we?" She goaded with a cheeky grin.

"Oh, alright [Y/N]! Red Hot you are. Sounding frightfully like our beloved Captain." Fred replied as everyone laughed.

[Y/N]s attention fixed to George as her face wore a notably more sincere expression. "How you feeling, Georgie?" "Like I took a bludger to the guts." He chuckled somewhat painfully. "I'll live, just need a good hot shower and to get out of this sweat drenched uniform." He tugged at the tight fabric which clung uncomfortably to his skin.

"I'll happily help you out of it, if you find yourself in need of a spare set of hands?" [Y/N] wriggled her eyebrows. Smiling at his friends innuendo George ran his tongue over his bottom lip before raising his own brows, as if contemplating the girls offer.

"Yeah, alright you two, wrap it up!" Fred intervened pushing the pair back by their shoulders as if stopping a fight. "George, as much as I'm with you on that shower and change idea, need I remind you we have a...previous engagement to attend to." He pointedly looked to his brother.

"What 'previous engagement'" Lee questioned.

"Super secret Weasley Twin Business." Fred winked.

"I can't believe you're leaving me out of your super secret twin business!" Lee protested, feigning dejection.

"Sorry, Lee" George offered a consoling smile. "Forget you. What about ME!" [Y/N] interrupted. "Come off it, there's no way you planned a prank without me..."

"But we did" they shrugged. "It's nothing for you to worry your pretty little head over" George teased with a pout. "What is it?" Lee asked, but the two remained quiet.

"Oh, come on, George. Just take off your shirt and tell us!" [Y/N] spat with a wicked grin. George stepped toward her slowly placing both of his large hands either side of her jaw and peering into her eyes. He leant down so his mouth was centimetres from her skin, whispering into her ear "Not happening, lovely." His hands slid down her neck, passing over her shoulders before finally retreating at they met her elbows. He smiled at the ever so faint blush that fanned her cheeks. "Okay, fine. So you won't tell us. But seriously...where'd we land on the shirt situation?" [Y/N] yanked on the uniform fabric playfully while biting her lip.

"Oh would you two just fuck already! This whole teasing thing makes my stomach turn." The other Weasley rolled his eyes before grabbing hold of his brothers wrist, "come on, lover boy. We've got mischief to attend to." He pulled George away from the group of friends, but not before he was able to send a suggestive wink to [Y/N] over his shoulder.

Fred did have a point when you thought about it. [Y/N] and George had been friends since first year after spending a day in detention together for being caught out past curfew, for separate reasons. [Y/N] and the Twins always had a playful relationship and it seemed impossible for them to go more than three minutes without making a joke or coming up with some new prank idea or bet between the three of them. The relationship between [Y/N] and George however, over the years, became substantially more provocative. Never becoming physical by any means, mainly they just threw a lot of innuendos toward one another. Just a bit of harmless, totally platonic, flirting really.

It'd been that way since their fourth year which makes it a few years now that Fred has found himself uncomfortably situated between the two obviously pining best friends, whom continuously deny any such feelings of course.

While the Twins had set off on their...other business, that left the remaining three to enjoy the Post-match festivities currently unfolding within the Gryffindor common room.

A little while into the celebrations, [Y/N] and her friend found themselves accompanied by some of the more eligible bachelors of Gryffindor Tower, about ankle deep in discarded Butterbeer and Fire Whiskey bottles.

"Come on, [Y/N] how's about a dance?" Dustin, a rather attractive boy she knew, spoke with an endearing smile gracing his face. "Flattered as I am by your proposal, I must decline." She slurred. "Why not?" The boy reached for her hand tracing small circles on the soft skin with his thumb while he stared into her eyes. "Because I don't fucking want to." The girl laughed retracting her hand from his. "Excuse us, won't you boys?" Her friend stood, pulling [Y/N] up with her. "Uh-oh...I'm in trouble" she faked concern before breaking into giggles as she was pulled from the common room.

Finding herself promptly being dragged down a flight of stairs into the adjoining corridor which, given the time, was obviously eerily abandoned.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Uuhh you mean aside from the fact my buzz was just absolutely murdered after being ripped away from a party I was thoroughly enjoying? Not much." She rolled her eyes. "I mean, why do you keep turning Dustin down? You know he fancies you! Why not give him a chance?" Her friends voice was sincere and a little giddy as she questioned. "Because I am not interested in Dust Bin." [Y/N] doubled over in laughter at her own joke. Latching on firmly to her friends shirt in an attempt to remain upright. Cackling styled laughter reverberated off the deserted corridor walls as [Y/N] was being shushed and told to compose herself. "Quiet [Y/N]!" her friend giggled at the state of her. "Is it, you're not interested in Dustin, because you're still hung up on George?" "Pffft, Pah-LEASE I am so over George." She slurred with a dramatic shove of the friends shoulder.

"You're over me?" The words called from behind her and like a cool breeze on the nape of her neck chills ran sharp through her spine. [Y/N]'s eyes widened while the friend infront of her smiled brightly, sending a taunting wave her way before disappearing back up the stairs to the common room. "When were you...under me?" The girl couldn't bring herself to turn around, she could practically hear that devious smirk playing on his voice. Her body was rigid as her blood ran cold. Talk about a sobering experience. Shutting her eyes tightly to muster the courage she tentatively began to turn her body, facing the boy with a painfully embarrassed grimace.

"You heard too much of that for me to get out of this on some elaborate lie, didn't you?"

"Yep." George stood smugly before her. Hands deep in his trouser pockets as he'd obviously had that shower and change he were so desperately craving. He looked good. White button up with the sleeves scrunched above his elbows haphazardly and a lazy Gryffindor tie around his neck. [Y/N] found herself having to swallow a lump in her throat at the sight. "Right from the rather insensitive comment made of my good mate...Dust Bin." The ginger chuckled taking a few steps forwards.

[Y/N] let out a long, defeated, sigh turning her head over her shoulder in thought. Her jaw clicked as she contemplated her next words carefully. If only she could think of anything to say. She was fumbling over various syllables, all of which were incoherent. George laughed at her nervousness and held a hand out for her to take, "Come here." He spoke softly. What else was there to lose? She accepted and felt as her body warmed from the feeling of his hand gripping hers tightly.

Neither said a word as George lead her quietly further away from the Gryffindor Tower. It wasn't until they approached the Astronomy Tower stair case [Y/N] made to speak, but was promptly shushed. 'You'll see' he told her.

The Weasley stopped at the top most stair, watching her as he slowly opened the door leading to the balcony. Eyes never leaving her face, smiling sweetly as he witnessed her expression shift slowly from one of bewilderment to awe.

Laid out in front of them was an abundance of pillows, set upon a thick blanket, surrounded by various sweet platters and floating candles like the ones in the Great Hall only much smaller. [Y/N]s hands sprang to her mouth in shock, she'd never seen such a romantic setting. Staring from the picnic to the stars that shone so brightly over head, with every Galaxy and Constellation clearly visible, she was lost for words. A startled gasp was the only noise to peirce her lips silence.

George watched fondly at the sparkle held within her eyes. Nothing but love in his as he stepped behind her, hands gently resting on her shoulders to move her forward. He nestled into the side of her neck while he walked her slowly so he could whisper in her ear, "I had actually planned on telling you first, tonight, about how I feel. But it seems you've unwilling stolen my chance." "Oh George..."

"I know, it's bloody good right?" He commented cockily. "Come on. Sit."

"So I take it this was the super secret twin business you had to attend to?" She said smiling as he made himself comfortable beside her gazing towards the sky.

"Yep. That and Fred wanted to set off some Dung Bombs in Snapes office. He's down there now." [Y/N] began to laugh and she suddenly captured every ounce of Georges attention. It's in moments like this he found her most beautiful. When she were genuinely happy. "You shouldn't have gone through all this trouble." She spoke earnestly. "You're worth it."

"That's so cheesey."

"You love cheese!"

"I do don't I?"

The two laughed, [Y/N]s head dropping as she did so before George raised her attention back to him with a finger placed delicately under her chin.

"[Y/N], I've liked you for so long now that I-I can't even remember when I realised. I just...did. You mean so much to me that it's scary" he was kneeling before her now. Hands grasping hers, "and I don't want to hear that you're over me because I don't think that I will ever be able to get over you." [Y/N] was staring fixedly into his eyes, heart thundering in her ears. Unable to believe this were happening. "I fall for you a little more everyday. I fall with every smile. Every laugh. Every sleazy innuendo you throw my way. I can't help falling and I just couldnt go another day without knowing if there were even a possibility that you may feel the same way. If you fall for me the same way I do for you. It's why I took that hit today, on the pitch, I was so distracted about tonight that I-"

"You saying that was my fault are you? That you got hurt." [Y/N] was smiling widely, eyes glistening with tears she knew were unlikely to fall but were there nonetheless.

"Ab-so-LUTE-ly it's your fault!" George continued her teasing with a beaming smile that shone nearly as bright as the stars above them.

"I do George. Feel the same. I'm not over you because...because there's just no getting over you."

George let out a relieved and amazed breath. He doubted he'd ever felt happier in his life than in this moment.

Both his hands came to rest either side of her face as he hastily leant his face towards hers before restraining himself. Eyes pouring into hers as hers were staring back. "Can I kiss you?" He whispered.

[Y/N] smiled softly, hands coming to lay gently on his elbows, "yes" she breathed before nodding quickly. A hand shot up behind his neck to bring their faces together, lips meeting for the first time. He pulled her into his lap swinging both arms around her waist as her free hand tugged on his tie.

[Y/N] pulled back to catch her breath while George peppered soft, frantic kisses down her jaw and neck.

"So tell me..." her head fell back in pleasure as she clung to him for support and felt as he hummed against her skin in response, "now that we've established I'm not over you. When can I get under you?" She smirked chuckling slightly. He rolled his head up to meet her gaze, staring unbelievably at her words as a reluctant smile crept across his lips. George groaned at the pun before pushing her down into the pillows, body hovering above hers as she left out a squeal at his action. Laughing in a way only George could ever make her.

"Trust you to cheapen the moment."

They surprise you with a gift on your birthday

Genre: 🌸

A/N: I’ll always age them up even when it’s nothing explicit so...yuh. Post senior year/early college life AU 🤙🏼

Student Edition

Kirishima:

He had remembered you mentioning something about a bracelet that was on display during your trip to the mall.

You wanted to buy it but refrained from doing so because you were strict about what you wanted to spend your money on.

Of course you could afford it. No doubt about that.

However, you wanted to see just how much you could save in the span of a year. (And so far, you were loaded)

You didn’t think that he would pay attention to what you were looking at since he had walked up ahead of you.

But boy were you wrong.

He noticed that you weren’t next to him anymore when he turned around to ask you a question.

Yet instead of seeing you next to him, he turned around to see you pondering on the piece of jewelry on display.

Now, he knew about you wanting to save up your money. But that didn’t stop him from asking you about it.

“If you like it, you should buy it. But then again, saving your money is also really cool. It’s one of the most manliest things that you could ever do!”

*Cue him holding up his fist dramatically with a proud look on his face.*

No you weren’t embarrassed about him doing this at all…yes this happens often…and yes…in public.

You’d figured that after leaving the mall, that would be the last time that you’ll ever see that bracelet.

But little do you know, your best friend had already conjured up his surprise for your upcoming birthday.

He had seen you walking towards the exit of UA with all of the girls from class 1-A. Apparently, they had planned some sort of ‘girls night’ celebration for you (since of course class 1-A had mostly boys in it…plus they were your closest/best friends!)

Kirishima didn’t mind since he knew that you enjoyed hanging out with the girls most of the time, except this time it kinda bothered him since he really wanted to give you your present.

He hadn’t seen you all day! I mean he knew that it was your birthday so it would be a chance that you would be busy. But normally you’d at least shoot him a text or even show up at his dorm to see him before leaving.

But finally, after hours of waiting, texting, and searching, he finally found you. Even if you were heading out again, he needed to give this present to you now!

He couldn’t contain his own excitement to see yours.

With a pep in his step, he started to lightly jog up to you while calling out your name. He watched as you stopped in your tracks before turning around to see him coming to a stop in front of you.

“Kiri! Oh my god, I thought that I wouldn’t see you all day! I’m such a bad best friend.

The girls have been so sweet by taking me out and keeping me busy all day…and the night isn’t even over yet!

I know that I hang out with them all the time, yet I still miss them…but that still makes me a bad friend towards you.-“

“Hey! It’s alright. I understand, you don’t have to explain anything!”

His signature smile formed onto his face as he waved his hands in front of you bashfully to stop you from rambling. You didn’t need to explain yourself to him, he knew that you made time for all of your friends whenever you could!

A small yet playful frown formed onto your face as you crossed your arms while looking at him.

“I know, I just wanted to let you know. But besides that, is there something wrong?”

Shaking his head, his smile never left his face as he held his hands behind his back.

“Nope! Just wanted to give you your birthday present before you left! I could’ve waited but we haven’t talked all day.”

Noticing that his hands were hidden behind him, you raised an eyebrow as you tried to peek at whatever it was he was hiding. Realizing this, he quickly redirected himself into a different angle to avoid your peeping eyes.

“No peeking! Close your eyes!”

Laughing, you closed your eyes before placing your hands over them for extra security.

“My eyes are sealed, I promise.”

Moving closer towards your covered face, he made sure that you seriously couldn’t see as he quickly examined the box before bringing it in front of you.

“Alright, open your eyes!”

Moving your hands from your face, you opened your eyes to see a small yet bulky red box in his hands. Eyebrows furrowing in confusion, you looked up at him to see his smile only growing even more as he wiggles the box in your face.

“Open it.”

Biting the inside of your cheek, you untied the ribbon before slowly removing the box. Eyes widening, your eyes never left the box as you moved in closer.

“Kiri. No you didn’t.”

Seeing the shocked look on your face only made his smile turn into laughter as he scratched the back of his head.

“I made up my mind after we left the mall. You wouldn’t get it, so I got it for you!”

Carefully taking the bracelet out of the box, you examined it carefully as the beauty of it shimmered with the setting sun.

“Happy birthday!-“

His sentence was cut off by you suddenly wrapping your arms tightly around him with a huge smile gracing your face.

“I love it! Thank you soooo much!”

Before he even got the chance to return the hug, he froze as he felt you place a quick kiss onto his cheek. His own eyes slightly widened as he watched you untangle yourself from the hug to put the bracelet on.

“I can’t thank you enough Kiri, you really are the best! I have to go, but I’ll swing by your dorm later on tonight ok?��

Waving him off, you quickly made your way back towards the group of waiting girls while flashing him a genuine smile.

Yet you failed to realize his still frozen state as his cheeks were a bright red while watching you leave.

“...bye.”

Midoriya:

It was only 3 more minutes until your birthday, and even though you didn’t want anything for your birthday he still went out to get you something.

He was a nervous, rambling mess inside of his room as he paced back and forth to calm himself.

You two only knew each other for a few months, yet he had to go and get you a present.

How did he know about your birthday? Well let’s just say that he overheard a conversation going on between you and the girls.

Completely overheard! Not stalking!

He swears!

All he wanted to do was thank you for offering to partner up with him during the sports festival, and cheerfully answering questions about your quirk.

That’s it!

But would you find him weird for doing so? I mean, how would you react to finding someone that you hardly knew randomly popping up at your door to give you a present?

Well, it was pretty weird now that he thought about it.

‘Maybe I shouldn’t go through it.’

No! He was going through with it! He already went out to buy the gift and now it was only right to give it to you.

He just hoped that you didn’t find him to be a weirdo.

Especially if he started rambling…

The sound of his phone vibrating made him pick up the device to see that the clock had officially struck 12.

Grabbing the box from his table, he eased out of his room to make his way towards the elevator in hopes of being able to execute his plan carefully.

The last thing that he wanted to do was get caught and explain why he was on the girls floor anyways. Especially not after his fight with Kacchan…being tied up with Aizawa’s scarf isn’t the best feeling in the world.

Stepping out of the elevator, he walked down the hall until he found your door. He could see that your light was on due to it shining out of the creak. There was also the faint sound of voices coming from the room which made him slightly step away.

‘Sounds like the girls from class!’

In a panic, he tried to turn on his heel to walk away but froze as the sound of your door being opened caught his attention.

“Midoriya? What are you doing here?”

Jumping, he clumsily held onto your present as he turned around to face a confused MoMo followed by you standing next to her.

“Me? Oh, I uh….it’s a funny story actually! Youseeithoughtthatthiswasthebousfloorbutsillymeiwasntecenpayingattentionwhichiswhyimactaullyonthegurlsfloorand-“

A sheepish yet creeped out expression formed onto her face as she placed a hand onto your shoulder.

“He’s rambling like he normally does in class.”

Smiling awkwardly, you cleared your throat before speaking up.

“Midoriya!”

Stopping his rambling, his eyes turned white as he looked at you with a shocked yet nervous expression on his face. You remembered his name? Of course you would! You’re in the same class!

“What’s that in your hand?”

Confusion rose onto his face until he looked down to see the small box in his hand. Right! The present!

“Uh! Nothing! Well, it’s not nothing but it’s...for you. I mean of course if you want it! You don’t have to accept it! I just-“

“You remembered my birthday from that conversation?”

Of course you knew that midoriya was there listening in on your conversation. He wasn’t as sneaky as he thought that he was even if he was just ‘passing by.’ His green hair was completely unique and noticeable.

Face reddening, he shook his head frantically as he began to speak really fast again.

“No! I mean, yes! But not in the way of you thinking that I was eavesdropping! I wouldn’t do that!”

Giggling into your hand, you watched as MoMo squeezed through the both of you in an attempt to get out of the way of your conversation.

“I’ll be on my way then. Don’t forget about our plans tomorrow (Y/n) dear.”

Nodding, you waved her off before turning your attention back to the green haired boy in front of you.

“I believe you. Could I see the present?”

Handing his hand out to you, you took the small box out of his hand and began to unravel it.

“It’s not much but it’s just a token of my appreciation. You know, for willingly wanting to partner up with me during the sports festival and answering my annoying questions.”

Your eyes widened as you opened the box to see three differently designed finger rings.

“I noticed that you wear those rings on your fingers, so I thought that you would like them…but if you don’t then I understand! I mean it’s weird, but-“

“I didn’t expect you to actually pay attention to small things like this.”

A smile formed onto your face as you slid a ring onto each finger. You’ve been meaning to stock up on some new ones, but luckily for you a friend had already beaten you to it.

“Thank you Midoriya. You’re an awesome friend.”

Friend? His cheeks turned red again as he looked at you with a bewildered expression. You considered him as a friend already?

“F-friend?”

Frowning, you crossed your arms as you tilted your head at him.

“Well, we are friends right? Or am I being led on?”

“No! Of course not!”

Laughing, you waved him off jokingly as you placed a hand onto his shoulder.

“I’m glad to hear that then. I knew that we’d become the best of friends at some point, but this just sealed it.”

Rubbing his arm, he gave you a cheeky smile as he nodded his head in approval.

“I agree.”

Bakugo:

Though he’ll never admit to it, he hated seeing you sad and upset about breaking the charm off of your bracelet.

It’s not as if you were openly complaining about it or crying over it, no of course not.

But he noticed that your demeanor shifted from your normally happy/chill self to a more quiet and irritable one.

He was the one who told you to stop wearing the damn bracelet during training/missions anyways.

But you’d always tell him:

“It’s fine.” Or “I can’t, my mom gave this to me and it would be rude to do so.”

You both knew that you trained with the best of the best;

Which was him and a few that he acknowledged. You honestly thought that he’d allow his closest friend to waste her time with some unnecessary extras?

Ha!

Anyways…

Not to mention that your quirk was a force to be reckoned with. The shit was powerful asf of course.

But no, you didn’t want to listen or acknowledge your own strength and of those around you.

Which is exactly what led up to that flimsy charm snapping off the chain and shattering.

“I told your dumbass to take the bracelet off!”

Yeah he was pissed, because you didn’t listen!

But deep down, he was concerned because he knew how much that charm meant to you.

And to see that your only reaction to it breaking off was you picking it up before leaving really made him…’worry.’

Not once did you bring it up, or even attempt to fix it. Hell, you didn’t even wear the bracelet anymore.

Why did this annoy him? He didn’t know.

Maybe it was because you were sulking in your own way which meant resulting into being in a closed off state?

‘To hell with it all!’

At last, your birthday has rolled around just a few weeks later. You seemed to have gotten over your broken charm since you were giggling with the other girls before getting ready to head out to wherever you were going.

At least that’s what it looked like to other people.

You couldn’t trick him. He knew that behind that smile, you were still hurt about not being able to wear your bracelet. He knew this because every so often you would look down or touch your wrist only to be slightly disappointed.

Why did he even go through with getting this charm for you in the first place? It’s not like you were in debt to him, or that he cared enough to-.

Now that’s a damn lie. Don’t even do that Bakugo.

Rolling his eyes, he stood up from the couch to make his way over towards your giggling form.

“Aye, (L/N)!”

Turning around, you looked over to see the blonde haired boy looking at you with his usual blank expression while crossing his arms. You noticed that there was something in his hand but couldn’t manage to make out what it was as he tossed it over to you.

Quickly catching it, you looked at the box confusedly before looking back at him. Scowling, he tightened his grip around his arm as he turned his head in the other direction.

“Don’t think too much into it, dumbass, your pouting is just annoying as hell.”

Clicking your tongue, you rolled your eyes before taking the lid off of the box. A gasp escaped your lips as you covered your mouth in surprise.

“You.-“

“Shut up. Just put it on the shitty bracelet.”

You couldn’t resist the smile that formed onto your face as you examined the charm before closing the box.

“Thank you! I promise not to break this one! This means a lot to me!”

Shrugging his shoulders, he made an attempt to turn around and leave but stopped as he felt your arms quickly yet securely wrap themselves around his waist before letting go.

You couldn’t help it! He had replaced your irreplaceable charm and he didn’t expect you to show your gratitude? To hell with his pride right now! You’ll take his earful or yelling later, but right now, he needed to know how grateful you were.

“I’m going to put this up somewhere safe right now! You really made my birthday 10x better.”

His expression held slight shock along with his usual scowl, but you were too busy smiling and walking in the other direction to even notice that his face slipped into an approving small smile.

At least now you’ll stop looking so damn sad.

Todoroki:

Come on now. You two had been the best of friends ever since childhood.

Of course he’s going to give you something for your birthday. Even though you insist that he didn’t since his gifts always outdo yours.

I mean, yeah your family was pretty successful. But you weren’t on UA’s rich kids level.

Not that it mattered, but whenever you did a gift exchange with Todoroki during his birthday, he always found a way to outdo your gift!

And he doesn’t even intentionally try to!

The poor boy still doesn’t understand social cues 😭.

Like one year, you simply cooked him his favorite meal since you wanted to go for something more sentimental.

He loved it of course, but you didn’t expect him to love it so much to the point where he gave you a whole new wardrobe for your birthday!

“Todoroki…isn’t this a bit too much?”

“Do you not like it?”

You could never tell his confused face no or simply unintentionally hurt his feelings.

So you always either end up taking his gift with a guilty smile or try to tell him that he didn’t need to go overboard with your gifts.

He never fully understood what you meant, but that never stopped you from always trying to explain it to him.

Or the fact that he never stopped giving you more than you could ever handle for a gift.

Oh boy….

Sitting on a nearby bench, you continued to eat your food in silence with Todoroki next to you.

It was a peaceful day outside today, not to mention that there wasn’t anything else for either of you to do so why not enjoy the weather while eating with your best friend?

Plus it looked like he could use the chance to relax from all of his studying and training, which is exactly why you practically shoved him out of his room to join you.

Not to mention you having to bribe him with soba. Yeah, that always worked…

Chuckling to yourself, you failed to realize Todoroki looking at you while chewing a mouthful of noodles.

“What’s funny?”

Shaking your head, you placed your empty container into your bag before wiping your mouth with a napkin.

“Me having to bribe you with food to take a break. It’s pretty funny.”

Swallowing, he stared off into space with a pondering look as he placed the bowl into his lap. You did have to bribe him with food in order to get him to join you.

I mean, he would’ve joined you regardless, but the food only made him move more ‘eagerly.’

“Eating my favorite food made by one of my favorite people wouldn’t be something that I’d like to miss out on. Especially with your birthday taking place tomorrow.”

A hum left your lips as you nodded your head in agreement. Of course he wouldn’t forget your birthday.

“Right…my birthday is tomorrow.”

“You don’t sound too happy about it.”

Shaking your head, you looked over at your best friend to see him once again chewing on a mouthful of noodles.

“I am! You know I love my birthday since I’m surrounded by the people that I care about the most. But you know how I feel about your presents.”

Nodding his head slightly, he continued to chew slowly while looking at you with his usual blank expression.

“I always feel like my gifts aren’t good enough compared to yours. It makes me feel like a terrible friend.”

“It’s not about the quality of your gift, it’s about the thought that you put into them that makes them special to me.”

Well that much has been established by him always eating, wearing, or telling anyone who asks about your gifts that you gave him.

“Speaking of.”

Placing his bowl into the bag next to him, he reached into his pocket to pull out a small velvet box. Noticing this, your eyes began to widen as you guiltily shook your head as he opened the box to reveal a pair of beautiful earrings.

“Shoto. I can’t take that, it’s too much!”

Blinking, he looked at the box before looking back up at you.

“No it’s not. I only counted one pair of earrings. One for each ear right? Unless I miscounted the holes in your ear.”

Oh boy indeed. Biting your lip, you tried to refrain from laughing at your completely confused best friend as you took the box out of his hand.

You’ll admit that not only were they beautiful, but they were also your favorite color. This gift was actually one that you’ll keep close to your heart.

“Thank you Shoto. They’re beautiful.”

kicking away insecurities // togata mirio

Author’s Note: I practically don’t exist. I’m a bot that sometimes writes. A bot with serious mental health issues. I was watching season 4 of BnHA and fell utterly and irrevocably in love with Mirio and for some reason, the character I have in mind for him has the same ability Mirai has in Kyoukai no Kanata. It fits in my head so why not? Hope you all like this~

Word count: 3665

Pairing: Togata Mirio x Insecure! Reader

Warnings: angst to fluff, angsty thoughts, mentions of insecurity, overthinking, fluff though

If there was one word that could describe you, it would be broken. Or, so you thought.

A heart that had given up—a heart that could no longer take any more sadness or rejection. Was it so bad that you craved for approval? Sure, everyone did say that leaving your happiness on other people’s hands would never make you happy, you must learn to love yourself—all that sounded great on paper, but seeing how unbearably hard it is to pull through on some days, alone, tired, bent and broken, how ridiculous was it to ask a broken person to love themselves first instead of wishing for love from elsewhere?

Perhaps, it was all wrong. You weren’t meant to be in U.A, and you weren’t meant to be a hero or assist heroes in any way. Your parents were supportive of your quirk, despite how dangerous it is and how ‘villainous’ it might have seemed. Due to your quirk’s nature, you were barred from displaying it to others around you, and some of the faculty took special care in helping you train your quirk in private. As a child, you were bullied and shunned for having a recklessly dangerous quirk, and perhaps, this is where the need for approval planted itself.

You were doing well if you could say, but the void remained. It grew day after day, and on some days, you didn’t even know what you were yearning for. You had no friends, no one to speak to, and since you never trained with anyone (weren’t allowed to), no one thought you were approachable. You thought you were unseen, invisible, insignificant, and everything worthless until Midnight-sensei had a proposal for you.

“Do you want to take part in the Sports Festival?”

Your eyes widened at her words, your lip quivered. You were in your second-year, and due to the nature of your quirk, you were barred from taking part in the festival in your first year. It was great now that the first years’ had their own festival whilst the second and third-years had their own. This meant that you could take part in a crowd that was a bit more experienced, which excited you, however—

“But, my quirk—”

Midnight put her arm on your shoulder, before offering you a lovely smile, “(y/n)-chan, you can’t keep living behind fear the whole time. So what if people know about your quirk? You’ve put in so much effort! You’re going to shine.”

If only you could believe her words. If only what Midnight-sensei said made any sense to you. Someone giving you praise—something you’ve always wanted–yet, it felt so unreal. Your mind refused to take it, thinking it was false, she was doing her job as a teacher and she didn’t mean what she was saying. You nodded, only agreeing to take part because you didn’t want to disappoint her, but the void inside your chest sucked in everything you were feeling, leaving you devoid of any emotion.

Walking back from the staff room, you quietly shut the door behind you before turning on your heel and suddenly, you felt rather uncomfortable. It was cold and it felt as if you were walking through a cloud of—

Your eyes widened when you saw you were deep inside someone, penetrating halfway through them through their chest. A gasp exited your lips before you tumbled backward, but you were aware enough to scramble and take the help of the wall to support you. Your lips were quivering and your eyes now focused on who or whatever that had given you such a scare.

A tall, blonde male—a senior perhaps, who was also rather handsome, eyes as blue as the ocean, stared at you with a helpless smile. He rubbed his neck in his defense, and honestly, looked rather clueless.

“I’m sorry! I used my quirk so that you wouldn’t bump into me and fall down. It seems like using my quirk scared you more.”

You were bewildered at how happy yet apologetic he sounded. His voice was like sunshine in a bowl, and there you were, staring at life itself.

“T-That’s okay, senpai.” You had no idea what his name was, but you guessed he was your senpai.

“OH! I’m your senpai? Sorry, I haven’t seen you around much. My name is Togata Mirio. What’s your name?”

His smile almost blinded you.

“(l/n) (y/n).” You said, wanting to offer him a smile, but the mere thought that you put into what kind of smile it should be, took too long and you decided not to.

Mirio laughed out once before saying, “I’ll see you around then, (l/n)-chan!”

What a strange person, you thought before walking away.

“Sensei, you wanted to see me?” Mirio’s voice was energetic.

“Ah, Mirio! Ugh, if only you came a bit quicker. You’d have met (y/n)-chan!”

Mirio blinked. What did this meeting have to do with you?

“I ran into her outside. What’s this about, sensei?”

Midnight sighed before turning to the third-year student and giving him a stern look. Mirio wasn’t used to Midnight’s sternness, therefore, he knew this was something of substance.

“You probably wouldn’t have seen (y/n)-chan around much.”

Mirio noticed. It was perhaps the first time he’d ever seen the girl around, and with such a cute face, he was sure to remember if he had seen her before.

“That’s because of her quirk. She’s not allowed to use it in front of others. And she was barred from using it on her own, as well.”

Mirio froze. He couldn’t understand.

“What do you...”

“(l/n) (y/n) has a very, very dangerous quirk. Eraserhead and I have been monitoring her progress since her first year and yes, she has made significant improvement. However, what she lacks in is something neither Eraser nor I can give her,” Midnight grinned at Mirio, “She needs to learn from a student who struggled with a difficult quirk too. She needs to understand that hard work doesn’t just work on heroes, but on students. You need to help her out.”

Mirio couldn’t understand the sudden grief that swarmed inside him. It was as if the mere thought of her having to fight this alone made him feel ridiculous. He now remembered how dead her eyes looked, how her face by default looked like it had given up. He had made his mind up then and there to help her out, and he knew he’d give it his all. Now, he was not just curious about the kind of quirk she had, but what kind of person she was too.

“I’ll do it, sensei. You can count on me!”

On some odd days, instead of heading back to your dorm, you liked to sit at a park bench and do your homework or read. You weren’t an avid reader, but some books did entertain you, and the atmosphere around you didn’t make you anxious. It was a peaceful time.

Suddenly, you turned to the right side of the bench to see a face.

You quickly got up, shouting, before Mirio Togata popped out of the bench, trying his best to calm you down.

“Y-You scared me!” You exclaimed, feeling your heart almost pop out of your chest.

“Sorry, I tend to have that effect on people. I really don’t realize I’m doing it.”

You scrunched your eyebrows together before looking up at him. Damn, you thought, he sure is tall. You wondered what he was doing there, watching you. Did he want something? Did he want to apologize for earlier? Or, your eyes widened, does he want you to apologize because he’s your senpai?

“I’m sorry—”

Mirio tilted his head, “What are you sorry for?”

“Isn’t that why you’re here? To get me to apologize?”

Mirio’s expression faltered a bit but the smile remained intact.

“(l/n)-chan, I want to be your friend.”

You blinked at him. You weren’t sure what you were hearing.

“I’m sorry, what—”

“(l/n)-chan, I mean it. I think you’re really cute and instead of asking you out right away, I want to take my time in wooing you and be your friend.”

Your eyebrow twitched. So straightforward...

“Uh, senpai, I... I don’t know what to say—”

Mirio grabbed both your hands and held them firmly. Your gaze shot to the ring in your hand, which was still intact and then to him.

“Say yes.”

Your heart skipped a beat at the way he said it. Your insides were turning over because he was looking at you in that weird way. You didn’t have a choice. But, for the first time, you wanted to say yes to something simply because you wanted to.

“Yes.”

Mirio made sure to greet you whenever he passed you by. And that meant close to 8 times a day. He surprisingly greeted you when you entered the school area, and greeted you when you were heading to the gym or the cafeteria, or even in the corridors when he was with his other friends. You learned from a few kids that Mirio and his two other friends, Nijire Hado and Amajiki Tamaki were the top-3 in the entire school.

And that got you curious. Why was Mirio trying to be friends with you?

You weren’t a very confrontational person, but sometimes, curiosity got the better of you. Eraserhead guided you that Tuesday, after school hours, to the gym where you’d demonstrate your quirk and how much you’ve improved. But, the thought never left your head.

“You look troubled.” Eraser said, bringing you out of your reverie.

“It’s nothing, sensei.”

Eraserhead hummed before leading you inside the gym.

“I won’t be guiding you from now, (l/n),” You blinked at his words, “Togata will.”

Your heart raced and you turned to spot Mirio, already in the gym, waving at you. So that’s why... Tears filled your eyes, but you blinked them away as rapidly as they came. No one would want to be friends with you. Mirio was asked to do this. He’d never have approached you on his own. You nodded because you didn’t want to disappoint or burden Eraserhead. You nodded, but your heart was shattering.

Eraser walked out of the gym, leaving you two alone.

“(l/n)-chan! We don’t have to start right away. Do you want to try this—”

“Senpai, it’s best we get started now. I have to complete homework.”

Mirio blinked before noticing the change in your tone. He wondered what could have happened. He walked over to you before observing your features.

“Do you want to tell me what your quirk is?” He asked, curious.

“It’s—”

Instantly, Mirio placed a finger on your lips. Your eyes widened.

“Do you want to tell me or show me what it is?”

Your lips were quivering and you were sure he could feel it. Yet, Mirio’s gaze was fixed on your eyes and only waited for what you had to say.

“No...” You whimpered.

Mirio smiled softly.

“Then,” He whispered, leaning closer to your face. You couldn’t meet his eyes. “Try these dumplings with me!”

There was now a box of dumplings in his hand, causing your eyes to widen at the sudden change in topic. He handed you one, waited till you took a bite, and once your eyes widened, he hooted and celebrated as if he made them.

“Senpai,” You let out, staring at the dumpling. “Thank you...”

“You’re welcome! These dumplings are—”

“Thank you.”

Mirio paused before spotting you in deep thought. You looked so placid like a storm was brewing in your mind. And maybe it was, he’d never know. But he was curious, so so curious. Smiling, he only hoped that it would go as well as he wanted to. Because for some reason, making an effort for you felt light.

Days passed and your ‘training sessions’ with Mirio remained him bringing you weird food and you showing him new books to read. You found yourself talking to him like you would with a friend and it felt oddly satisfying. Mirio introduced you to Tamaki and Nejire, and you couldn’t believe how you could maintain conversations with them. On some days, Mirio would accompany you to your dorm and head back on his own. On other days, he’d watch you read in silence and not say a word.

On most days, Mirio found himself falling in love with you like a truck would off a cliff. It was sudden, and it was strange, but everything you did set him on edge. He had suddenly turned into an idiot but with such a bright mind, perhaps, love made you feel that way. In silence, he found light; and in your silence, he found comfort. He saw scars on your hand that gave him the thought that your quirk indeed was a dangerous one, and stories that he deeply, desperately wanted to know.

The story of the ring on your hand, the one that you fiddle with unconsciously, he wondered about that too.

But, it had to come from you.

“(y/n)-chan!”

Sometimes, Mirio had absolutely nothing to tell you, yet, he’d grab your attention because oh, he craved it. Mirio had never been in love before, but if he could describe it from the biology textbooks he had read for class, he’d relate it to narcotics. There was something so wistfully romantic about the way you walked around, alone; and how it was always Mirio who headed over to you and made you smile. It was romantic how you’d share small bits of information about yourself to him, despite being so hopeless when it came to receiving affection. It broke his heart that you had given up trying, but he wanted so badly to make you see how worth it this was.

You were currently sitting next to him in the gym, leaning back against the wall. You were reading a book, just three pages left. A soft smile sat on your lips, engrossed in a life that wasn’t your own, empathetic that the story neared an end, lost with the words the character said. While Mirio stared at you, a soft smile sat on his lips, engrossed with a life he desperately wanted to know more of, empathetic that the story was something he did not know, lost with the way you just sat there being yourself.

Instinctively, Mirio reached forward and brushed a strand of your hair aside, tucking it behind your ear. Your eyes widened a bit before your entire body came to a standstill. You tilted your expression before meeting Mirio’s intense gaze, the smile now lost, time now still.

“Senpai?” You didn’t know why you whispered, but you did.

“Do you think you’re broken, (y/n)-chan?”

Your eyes widened like saucers at your senior’s words. Yet, you knew he wasn’t done.

“Why do you think so? You’ve taken a great deal of sadness and rejection in the past, haven’t you? Is that why?”

“What do you mean, senpai?”

“I mean,” Mirio straightened himself and leaned toward you a bit more. “Sometimes, it’s inevitable that I feel what you feel. Your heart has given up and it... it breaks my heart!”

You didn’t know what he was trying to get at. You smiled, albeit a bit forceful, before wanting to assure him that you were fine. You were just an introvert, you didn’t feel the need to talk as much as others did. You were always like this—

In a second, Mirio leaned forward and kissed you on your forehead, knocking the wind out of you. Your hands scrambled at first and landed squarely on his chest, as Mirio’s right hand enveloped you and brought you closer to him. His lips were firm on your forehead, and once the kiss was done, he lingered, breathing you in.

“Togata-senpai... What...” Your eyes were now wet with tears.

What was he trying to do? This can’t be real. This can’t be happening.

“I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, (y/n)-chan. I always believed being bright and happy was the way to go. That’s where light was, I thought. I found light in your silence, (y/n)-chan. And in that light, I found love.”

You knew he was a cheesy person, but there was something compellingly stubborn about the way he was talking right then. But, you were scared to believe him. You were scared to give him your heart. You were scared. You were terrified.

“Senpai... I...” You were about to burst, and you desperately wished he hadn’t started this. “I can’t...” I didn’t even allow myself to like you. Please don’t make me. Please don’t make me fall for you—

“I am not going to leave. Not like whatever has happened before. I am going to be the person you can count on. The person that stays. So, (y/n)-chan, if you’re going to tell me you’re scared now, that’s alright. But I’ll make you see it. I’ll take this fear away. Because what hero will I be if I can’t even do that?”

He smiled after that. It was the sort of smile that made you think of how perfect Mirio was—it was unreal. There was no way someone so ethereal can be interested in someone like you. Someone so dangerous.

But, could someone so ethereal lie to you? He wouldn’t.

You smiled after that.

“Senpai...” You weren’t thinking. “I want to show you my quirk.”

Mirio’s eyes widened. He didn’t say a word, so as to not make you uncomfortable. You nodded once, feeling strangely at peace with yourself, before standing up. You touched the ring firmly before taking it off, looked at him before taking a deep breath.

“If you change your mind about me after this, I won’t blame you.”

Mirio’s heart raced. What was this quirk that you were so scared of? Was it truly terrifying? Was it something that could actually change the way he thought of you? Was there such a thing as a villainous quirk?

A second later, you pierced yourself with the ring. Mirio blinked before standing up as well. His eyes widened with what happened next—blood rushed out of your tiny wound and fell to the ground in full force, yet there you stood, calmly. A second later, the blood solidified, turning into a sword or the shape of a sword—and you held it firmly in your hand. Turning to Mirio, you spun the blood-sword around in your hands like an expert swordsman would, and stood in your stance.

Mirio’s jaw dropped.

“This is...” He walked over to you and held your wrists, shocking you, “This is seriously the best quirk I have ever laid eyes on. This is... You can control blood?”

You nodded, a bit stunned at his response. “Just my blood. I can solidify it into anything. Bullets, this weapon, I can even make a gun, but that takes a lot of practice. After three minutes of using my quirk, I start to feel light-headed. So I have to consume a lot of liquid after. It’s...” You looked away from him, “It’s a bit scary for anyone else to see it—”

“I’m very sorry if there were people who made you feel like your quirk wasn’t good. (y/n)-chan, your quirk is amazing! You can save so many people using this quirk! And when you control it the way you do, which is awesome, you can be a top hero for sure! I...” He took a deep breath. “God, I think you’re amazing.”

Your eyes widened at the way he spoke to you. Your lip quivered and everything that you had been avoiding up until that point came resurfacing. It was impossible to ignore someone like Mirio Togata. Especially lie to yourself that you weren’t in love with him.

“Senpai, I... I really thought that you were doing this only because you were asked to. I felt bad because I thought... No, I knew that you’d never have become a friend if you weren’t told to do this. I mean... Look at me! I have a weird quirk, I barely say anything ever, I am filled with insecurities to the brim and that’s annoying because I’ll always require reassurance and it isn’t your job to—”

“The second you ran into me, (y/n)-chan, I was fascinated by you. And yes, I was asked to help you, but the more I got to know you, I realized that you were more than just this bubble you put yourself in. I really wish you could see yourself through my eyes, just once. Then you’d see how beautiful you are to me.”

A second later, you pulled in all the blood inside yourself and put on the ring. You were a bit light-headed, which caused you to shut your eyes for a few seconds. Mirio instantly ran out of the gym to go get something, causing you to chuckle a few times when he returned with vanilla-flavored milk.

“This... This was all they had.” Mirio panted, looking apologetic.

“This is good, thank you.” You said, taking it from him.

“I can’t,” Mirio gasped. You blinked up at him. “I can’t not do this!”

You tilted your head, but before you could say anything, the blonde grabbed your face and kissed you squarely on the lips. Your eyes were saucers now, your hands firmly pressed against the vanilla milk he had got you. Mirio kissed you fervently like his life depended on it, and he kept going—you closed your eyes and eased into it, wondering how and where you got this calmness in you, but you didn’t complain.

Pulling away, Mirio sighed.

“What?” You whispered, unable to look at him.

“You taste like vanilla milk.”

You giggled before finishing it, and there he was, just standing there watching you.

“I love you, (y/n)-chan. I’m going to knock those insecurities off your system in due time. Wait and see.”

You looked up and smiled at him, “I love you too, senpai. Thank you.”

For everything.

Everything is Illuminated Section One

An Overture to the Commencement of a Very Rigid Journey - The Dial, 1941-1804-1941

1. Have you ever read this book before or seen the movie? If not, what do you know of the story? I have not read this book or seen the movie though my best friend in high school was obsessed with it. Her favorite actor was Liev Schreiber and he directed this movie so she watched it a lot though I never got around to watching it with her. And she read the book and loved it and told me to read it. So I bought it but, uh, never actually read it. Though if it's anything like Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, it's probably absolutely bananas but also amazing. And I honestly don't know anything about it. Though I was just reading some of the little review blurbs on the first few pages and apparently it's about the Holocaust?? That is actual proof that I know nothing about this book. But I'm very excited to get started with it!!

2. Where did Alex’s grandfather work and why is he coming out of retirement? I honestly don't remember reading the answer to the first part of this question and flipping back through, I couldn't find it soooo stealing part of Lizzy's answer (because I'm bad at things). He was a driver for Heritage Touring and he comes out of retirement to drive around The Hero (who is also the author; way to write yourself as a character into your own book *slow claps*) who has come to the Ukraine to search for the village where his grandfather lived and a woman named Augustine who saved his grandfather's life during the war and, thus, allowed him to exist.

3. Why did Yankel’s wife leave him? How did she break the news to him? She left him for another man and he just comes home to find a note on the door that says "I had to do it for myself." And the part that mystifies him is that it was so simple for her. He says that she was the love of his life but apparently that wasn't the case for her. She just left the note tacked to the door like she'd done with other notes with things for him to do or messages that she'd stepped out and would be right back. But leaving him is something much bigger and it hadn't seemed like a hard decision for her. And, yet, for him there wasn't really anyone else. He never married again.

4. What is Brod’s role in the parade? Have you ever been in a parade before? Brod is the most beautiful girl in Trachimbrod so she's the Float Queen. Basically this means she dresses up as a mermaid and rides in the parade. And then she throws sacks in to the river after which she was named and a bunch of men jump in to try to find the sacks and one of them finds the winning sack which has a bunch of money in it. And I have actually! I've been in 6. The first was in New Mexico. We had a family reunion on my grandmother's side (but I was a kid so I think it was her father's siblings and their descendants but I don't quite remember) and we had a float in their parade. I was like 5 or something so I just remember wearing a pinafore and pretending to stir a pot while I tried super hard not to fall off the float, haha. And then four times were when I was in band and marched. My hometown has two parades every year, one for Christmas and one for our annual festival in May, and I played flue in three of those. In one of them I got to hold the banner (and, thus, didn't have to play an instrument while walking in step which I was supremely bad at and hated). And, honestly, I don't really like parades so that was one of the reasons why I quit band, haha. And I'm also kind of glad I don't really have to go to parades anymore. Though, that being said, the last time I was in a parade was in October when I visited my aunt and helped her out with their Apple Days festival (which she conveniently didn't tell me I was working, haha) and so I walked with her and helped corral all the kids who had won the Johnny Appleseed contest and were riding around us on bikes. Thankfully, that was the world's shortest parade because I am also not great at corralling children, haha. So basically I don't have great luck with parades.

5. What happens to Brod on her way home from the parade? What does she discover when she finally arrives? I think she's raped? In the chapter before that, she sees a page of what will become her story and it mentions that she was raped and then that's mentioned again, in passing, at the beginning of the chapter when she's riding on the float. So then, when she's coming home from the parade she has to evade all of the drunks who are lusting after her and she comes home to find Yankel dead on the floor. And then outside the window, she sees the guy who won the sack contest staring at her. And basically that's where it stops? So it implies that she was raped but it never goes into detail. And it was right after she found Yankel dead. What a horrible day for her O.O

6. What is Alex saving his money for? He's saving his money to move to America. He says he keeps all of his money in the cookie jar in the kitchen which is safe because it's been ten years since his mother made cookies. He reasons that when the cookie jar is full, he'll have enough money to move to America. But he wants to be sure he has enough money for a really nice apartment in Times Square that is big enough for him and Little Igor and will have a large-screen tv to watch basketball, a jacuzzi, and a hi-fi. (Somehow I don't think a cookie jar full of money will be enough for all of that but okay.) He also asks Jonathan to send him articles about America (sports, movies, girls & accounting schools) so he can learn more about it for when he moves there.

7. How does the search for Trachimbrod go? Super not well. Sammy Davis Junior Junior ends up eating all of Jonathan's papers, including the map, so they have no idea where they're going. So they ask someone for directions and he's never heard of Trachimbrod so he gives them a general direction to go and tells them when they get close, someone should be able to tell them where to find it. Except everyone else they stop to ask says they also haven't heard of it. So they just end up driving around, waiting for someone to have actually heard of Trachimbrod. So, finally, they stop and ask this woman and she says she hasn't heard of it either but something in her tone says otherwise. And when Alex shows her the photograph, she says no but he says it sounds like a different kind of no. So he just keeps asking her if she knows anyone in the picture and she keeps saying no. And then finally he asks if anyone in the picture knows her. And then she says "I have been waiting for you for so long." And Alex points at the car and tells her they're searching for Trachimbrod. And she says "You are here. I am it." So Trachimbrod is apparently a person????? 8. What happens to the Kolker after he gets the job at the mill? Brod had a feeling that something bad would happen to him so she didn't want him to go to work and tried to stop him. But he went anyway and a saw blade ended up flying off its bearing and basically ricocheted around the room before finally embedding itself perpendicular in the top of the Kolker's head. It didn't kill him though. In fact, it didn't injure him at all except for the creation of violent mood swings. It basically created a second, very angry personality who would yell awful things at everyone and caused him to start beating Brod. This was completely unlike his normal personality and he couldn't control the violent side. After something would happen, he would apologize profusely and sometimes even ask what had happened. But, anyway, it created a more violent side which sent him to every doctor to try to get it stopped. However, the only way to stop it would be to remove the blade which would probably kill him. So instead, he just decided to sleep in a separate bedroom for the last year of his life which caused him to stop beating Brod but also meant that the last year of their marriage had them living almost entirely apart and communicating only through a hole cut between the two rooms.

Section One Reading Journal

What on earth did I just read????? So this is easily the strangest book I’ve ever read. And I’m not even done yet. Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close is one of my absolute favorite books and even though it’s a mess, it’s a really weird, enjoyable mess that kind of grabs you and makes you want to figure out where this is going. That’s not really how I feel about this book?? I just-- I don’t know. This one is so weird.

As of right now, I can’t really keep any of the characters straight (especially since everyone keeps changing names?????? What even???) except for Brod and Jonathan and Alex (though I literally didn’t know his name was Alex; I thought it was Sasha). I’m just really, really not following this book? I do finally have the three stories kind of straight though it seems like they’re all actually one story, just told on a very non-linear timeline.

I just-- I really don’t know what I think about this book. I feel like I will like it more after I finish it because it seems like it will be something really, really amazing when it all comes together. So I think this is one of those that’s a complete mess the first time around but once you get it (and maybe even read it again or watch the movie-- so at least have ~some kind of second interaction with it), it’s really great. I’m hoping that’s how I’ll feel. But right now, I’m just really not loving it.

Though the writing is, as always, super beautiful and there are lots of really great quotes. And Alex not understanding how words work is really hilarious. And no one understanding that Jonathan is a vegetarian is also hilarious. Especially that they won’t let you make modifications to orders??? Like you can’t just not make meat??? How is that hard???? That seems easier to me. But okay then.

So yeah. Some parts of this book I’m really enjoying. But some parts are just super weird and very confusing. Including all of Brom’s life. It seemed like her husband was the one who raped her but apparently he was coming to save her/check on her/came to the parade to meet her??? And she genuinely loved him. All of that could’ve been just *a little bit* clearer. Because I was so totally confused. And that’s how pretty much all of her story has gone.

But, anyway, I’m hoping the rest of this book will clear up everything we’ve read so far. I remember Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close being super weird the fist time around too but I don’t remember it being downright confusing. I don’t remember spending half the book wondering what was happening and if I’d ever feel like I wasn’t totally lost. So I have high hopes for the second half and I can’t wait to get into it!

(Also, as a weird side note, this book reminds me a lot of Chuck Palahniuk’s Pygmy. That one was also ��written by” someone who could barely speak English and was hard as hell to get into but, in my opinion, it was honestly well worth it. It was kind of a headache to read at first but once you got used to it, it got a lot better. And that’s one of my absolute favorite Chuck books. So that’s kind of why I’m thinking this one might turn out the same way. I’m having lots of flashbacks to reading that one, haha.)
