AU IDEA LISTEN LISTEN;

Shinsou finds Dabi by a train station after recently killing someone and shinsou is like "Well there is no pro heroes around, and by the time I get help - Dabi will be gone and will be on the loose killing people again" so he and Dabi start fighting and shit and the fight moves on to the train tracks because it's a fight, your not worried about the terrain you're on, your worried about winning this fight and beating your enemies ass, so they're fighting until they hear a horn, they finally turn around and it's a entire train barreling towards them and they're like "damn we're FUCKED.", shinsou dies almost on impact.

His nose bursted on impact, the blow crushing his face, But it was the neck wound that killed him, The train hit at an angle, whipping Alt Shinsou's head back with unspeakable force. His spine likely snapped instantly, neck twisting unnaturally.

But Dabi's death wasn't that instant, he was DRAGGED along the tracks until the train finally stopped and which someone noticed a hand under the train hence the heroes finding what used to be Dabi, so now Shinsou and Dabi are both dead, but some how by the universe they been assigned to be conductors in the afterlife for ghosts, helping the afterlife recartnate, meet their maker in hell or heaven etc etc???? LISTEN TO ME I HAVE ENTIRE PLOT POINTS PLANNED OUT.

Heyo! Are u taking requests right now? If not, just ignore this~

First, I hope u had/have a great day. Second, imagine this: Todoroki, Shinsou and Bakugou comforting their s/o after someone being EXTREMELY rude/mean to them, hurting their feelings like 🤏🏻

That would warm my heart in so many levels I cant even argh

comforting their s/o | bnha

someone made fun of you :(

A/N : hi ! thank you so much for your request :)

( aahHHHH this is posted a bit later than i wanted it to be posted-- sorryyy )

todoroki shoto

“Y/N? Are you alright?” He glances at you worriedly

“I-I’m fine.” You breath in a little, trying to hide it

Knowing you seem a little different, he immediately takes your hands from your face, forcing you to look at him

“What happened? What’s wrong?”

Seeing that he isn’t one to give up, you told him about the rude person

You watch as he clenches and unclenches his fist

tucking your hair behind your ear, he asks you with a soft and gentle tone, “Hey, don’t listen to them. They don’t know what they’re talking about.”

“Yeah, but-”

He hushes you with one finger to your lips.

“You keep talking about him, I’ll get jealous...”

He grins at your silent, shocked reaction and your blushing.

shinsou hitoshi

“Y/N?” He studies your slumped form, concerned.

You reach out and grab his hand, holding still.

Just his touch is comforting to you, which is something you love about him

Okay he can instantly tell that something is off about you, by the way you avoid his eyes

“Dear, what’s wrong?” He sits down next to you, his thumb softly moving up and down your hand as he looks at you with a worried glance.

“It’s just that... what someone told me has been on my mind lately,” you confessed, telling him about the rude person.

“He said all that?” He muttered, clenching his jaw.

You just gave him a small nod.

“I can’t believe you believe all that,” He mumbles with an eased smile.

He pulls you into a hug, his breath hitting your ear.

“Don’t believe any of it, Y/N. Will you do that for me?”

You hummed a response, holding him too.

About to draw back, his arms stay still, bringing you back into his embrace.

“Shinso?”

“I won’t let go until you say it.”

“What? Shinso I already-”

“Say it, love.”

You sigh, smiling. “Alright, alright. I won’t believe it.”

“Not a word?”

“Not a word.” You repeated, drawing back.

.... You’re still trapped, unable to get out of his embrace.

“I lied.” He admitted, before you could ask. “You’re staying here forever.”

bakugou katsuki

“he said WHAT?!” he nearly shouts.

he’s PISSED and is about to take of to the person who left you feeling insecure and hurt

you hold onto him, whispering, “can you just... stay here with me please?”

seeing you holding onto him rather desperately, he sits back down, though he’s thumping his legs anxiously, fighting off the urge to go and beat the rude person up

“Look at me.”

You look up at his face, but avoiding his eyes. He takes your face with his hands, and rights them, so that you’re looking directly at him

“I. Love. You.”

“Wha-”

“It doesn’t matter what that bastard said,” He muttered, squishing your cheek with his hands. “I love you, and that’s all that matters.”

“...”

“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” You grumbled, though you’re not bothering to take his hands away from your face.

He laughs, lightly pinching your cheek. “I am.”

i have now realized that the gifs do not match with their reactions. but bye.

requests are open :)

Reassuring you while you're being treated after getting injured

@windex-princess-ami asked: Hi!!! Can I request a fluffy angsty one where Bakugou/Shinsou/Todoroki hold and comfort their s/o while someone else removes shrapnel from a wound after a fight (bonus of their s/o is silently crying from the pain) please???

like, lots kisses and hugs and comforting words please 🥺 (i kinda picture them sitting on a counter or something) THANK YOU

Characters: prohero! Bakugou Katsuki, Shinsou Hitoshi, Todoroki Shoto

authors.note: I love comfort fics and just holding their s/o while they are in pain, I just generally like being reassured everything is going to be okay! Don’t judge me. Enjoy <3

TW MENTIONS OF INJURY AND BLOOD

BAKUGOU had seen you get hit. He watched from the sidelines as the villain sent you flying through a glass window and punched you roughly to the ground, remnants of your blood on his knuckles as he hit you again and again. He doesn’t remember much of the remaining fight and it doesn’t really matter in his eyes, all he knows is that you have several bleeding wounds from glass being wedged into your skin. Without missing a beat he is up and running, you delicately in his arms reassuring words leaving his lips as he tries to calm both of you down. The medics are at loss of words when they see your state instructing Bakugou to lay you down on the stretcher and hold you as still as possible while they remove the shards. “Baby, baby, look at me.” You manage to focus on his eyes, wincing as they took out the shards slowly. You grasped his forearm as more searing pain shot through your side, a particularly large piece of glass giving the medics a hard time while also making the whole process a lot more painful. “I-it hurts- Ah!” He shushed you, guiding your forehead to his with a gloved hand on your nape, rubbing soothing circles on your forearm with his other hand. “I know baby I know. You just have to be strong for me, it’s almost over I promise.” And true to his word, a couple of shards later it was over. They stitched a few cuts that were too deep and wrapped up your torso preventing you from bleeding out. Bakugou still held you, opting to press light kisses on your cheeks and forehead, whispering how proud he was of you and how strong you were. You did pass out after a while giving him a heart attack but he was reassured by the med team that your body was just exhausted. He went back to his usual mean and loud self but he stayed close to your cot for the duration of your unconsciousness.

SHINSOU was tackled by you when the bomb went off. Both of you were blasted across the road but all the debris which were thrown alongside you collided with only your body ripping a pained cry from your throat. Shinsou tried to soften your impact with the ground by wrapping you in his arms, tucking you away but the damage had already been made as his uniform’s sleeves were stained crimson once they came into contact with your waist. After your very awkward landing, Hitoshi took one look at your state and immediately left the scene with you in his arms. He wasn’t about to lose you and besides, the others could take care of the villain. The med team helped him place you on the stretcher, cutting off your uniform and started taking out the shrapnel causing you to cry out and recoil from their touch. Hitoshi was quick to soothe you, coming into your line of view and making you focus all your attention on him and only him while simultaneously placing one of your palms over his heart knowing full well that the rhythmic beat always calmed you down. “Darling, follow my breathing. There you go.” He would squeeze your hand whenever a particularly large piece of metal was pried, wiping away stray tears with his thumb and rubbing lightly on the spot. Once everything was removed and you were all patched up, he helped you sit up on the bed, supporting all of your weight and not allowing you to stand up on your own. Now it was your turn to reassure him that everything was going to be okay, poor man was panicking.

TODOROKI hadn’t seen you get hit. Hell, he wasn’t even at the scene when it happened. He learned about it through your shared com system, the moment the phrase “Y/H/N has been hit!” left your sidekick’s mouth, he was sprinting to you, shoving anyone that got in his way completely disregarding his public image. He found you being supported by your sidekick, two metal columns sticking out from your sides while blood was already pooling at your feet. You could barely comprehend what was happening, your head hanging low and your feet dragging behind you as you tried to keep up with your sidekick. Shoto rushed to your side, taking you completely off your colleague’s hands and into his own wincing at the pained cry that left your lips as he heaved you into his arms. “I’m sorry, i’m so sorry, I’m going to get you help love okay? Stay awake for me.” He doubts if you even realized that he was talking to you. It’s hard to maneuver you without inflicting any pain and every pained groan or grunt or sob that leaves your body, breaks Shoto’s heart. The medics, upon seeing your condition, tried prying you from his arms but Shoto wasn’t having it. He seemed to be in a trance where only you and your pain occupied his mind. They managed to convince you to put you down on the stretcher but he didn’t leave; he stayed by your side calling your name and telling you things you could hardly make out. You must’ve been crying because he would lean in and kiss the skin under your eyes every few minutes, his own eyes shining with unshed tears. You passed out before they were done patching you up causing Shoto to go into a panic the moment your eyelids fell shut. Poor thing sat next to you until you woke up, kissing your knuckles, the tips of your fingers, your face, in an attempt to ease both of your pains.

Alright, I’m gonna break the cycle for this. Hcs of Bakugo, Shinsou, Sero, and Dabi with a short s/o BUT she’s chaotic asf. I’m tired of seeing short s/o hc’s that just take the teasing, need one that fights back. Like she would dead ass kick them in the back of their knees to make em fall while saying “Timber, bitch”, If they stand at full height to make her reach to kiss em; she just won’t kiss em for the whole day, or if there’s something on a high shelf and they make jokes about her not being able to reach it, she’ll just scare the hell out of them by climbing on the shelves or counter for it (Bonus moment for if she falls and just goes “Worth it”)

Anon, you read my goddamn mind. I’m short asf, like- way too short for my age., but I spread havoc literally everywhere, including near my bf lmao. AND IM SO SORRY, BUT I DO NOT WRITE FOR SERO as a curtasey, I will add in Shiggy baby. List of people I write for is here.

Bakugou, Shinsou, Shigaraki and Dabi w/ a Short Badass s/o

Part 2 || Part 3

Bαƙυɠσυ

One comment.

He said o n e comment on you looked like a midget compared to him.

And you kicked him to the floor.

He astonished tbh.

Like-

Most girls would’ve puffed their cheeks and bitched and whined about how they weren’t.

But you-

Y o u-

You just made him love you 20x more with your badassery.

He probably sets Deku up.

Telling you that he called you a short stack of pancakes and watches poor Midoriya fall to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

That’s what he loves.

What he hates,

Is when you don’t kiss him for not leaning down to let you kiss him.

He is not gonna lower himself for you,

But he gets all pouty when you decide not to give him a kiss at all.

He still doesn’t lower himself for you,

But tries to convince you to give him kisses throughout the day.

Now,

Imagine this:

Bakugou is searching for you, and he sees you wobbly standing on a table trying to reach a book.

He rushes over to help scold you,

But the next thing he knows you’re shoving him away and losing your balance on the table.

The bookshelf had tilted slightly, (luckily not falling) and dropped all the books on top of you and Bakugou.

“It was worth it.” You say

“I fucking love you”

Sԋιɳʂσυ

Oh man-

The levels of horniness this brings him-

But it still pisses him off when you kick him down

“Timber bitch.”

“Fuck you too”

He actually goes through the effort to bend down and allow you to kiss him.

Because let’s be honest-

He can’t live an hour without your kisses,

Let alone a day

The first time you did that, he was so sad.

Like, he didn’t mean to upset you.

Please forgive him.

He likes watching you take people down that call you short,

Because it’s not him,

And I’m 99% sure he hates everyone that isn’t you or Denki in U.A.

But srsly, seeing you knock some poor bastard down-

Makes his tired eyes light up,

And his hot scruffy voice erupt in laughter,

(Man I simp so hard for Hitoshi 🥺)

He also gets v scared when you try to get something high up,

It’s like he knows you’re gonna fall.

When you actually do,

He treats you like fragile porcelain.

“It was worth it.”

“No it wasn’t.”

Sԋιɠαɾαƙι

Bitch you thought-

He reverse knocks your ass.

Then you get a punishment spank.

Because he’s kinky asf

Shiggy is decently tall.

(5’9” to be exact)

But he has an image to withhold,

So there’s no way in hell he’s gonna bend down,

Just so you can give him a fuckin kiss.

But he does get really angry when you refuse to kiss him when you guys are alone in his room,

Because Shiggy needs his daily dose of affection.

He might actually force you to kiss him if you won’t do it,

That’s how bad he needs love.

Please just do it 🥺✨

He literally had quirk canceling gloves made just so he could touch you.

He won’t let them go to waste.

He doesn’t really give a fuck or not if you decide to climb a shelf

Gives him a nice view of your ass, so why the hell not?

Horny bastard

When you fall hes like,

“What the fuck was that pathetic excuse of climbing?”

“Stfu it was worth it”

“Whatever”

He doesn’t even help you up,

He just watches you clean up while he plots his next evil plan.

DαႦι

Dabi is shook

Like-

Your tiny ass just kicked him to the floor,

And you had the audacity to say;

“Timber bitch”

He’s into it

He’s knee deep into it.

And here’s why:

As I have mentioned before,

Dabi is VERY into Brats

So when you fight back against him,

He thinks it’s the hottest thing ever.

And Ngl,

He would probably pop a boner every time you kicked him down,

But not when you kick anyone else down.

He likes that to be exclusive to him.

He goes out of his way to tease you now.

Kick him down?

He stands up and full height and pats your head to show the height difference.

Refuse to kiss him for a day?

He’ll refuse to kiss you for a week.

You can’t outplay this stubborn mf

Trust me.

Like fr,

He one time didn’t kiss you for a month,

And Shiggy went up to you thinking you were single.

That was the end of the cycle.

And you can no longer talk to Shiggy.

(Kinda hard since he’s you leader)

Part 2?

7:53 ☁︎ HITOSHI SHINSO

"Where are you taking me, y/n?"

He sounded as bored as he always did but he let you pull him along. Never once complained, though his tone sometimes sounded like it. After all, he was the one who made the promise to come with you today.

He was clueless as to where you were taking him while you were over the moon to show him this one spot you discovered a few weeks back. Still, his hand stayed entwined with yours with an ever faint smile present on his lips.

After minutes and minutes of walking, you were finally there . . . stood atop a hill shaded by a voluptuous apple tree with the right gust of wind and the lushness of the grass beneath it. It overlooked the scenic view of the farmhouse downwind. The most prominent feature being an old windmill you could vaguely compare to the one you saw on the Courage the Cowardly Dog show.

The slow rotation had only accentuated the serene atmosphere that hugged you like a blanket. Any fatigue you two had from climbing the hill vanished once you had taken your place under the tree. Hands connected, wordless but with ever-present grins.

"And here I thought you'd pull something cheesy," He piped up, making you turn your head.

"Like what?"

He raised a brow. "Like carving your names into the tree."

"Oh, heavens no. People who carve their names into a tree go through a rollercoaster of angst before reaching happily ever after." You ranted. He listened, smirking in amusement. "That is until the unfortunate sequel. Dun dun dun."

He chuckled, and you felt the tremors of his laugh from your joint hands. Sooner than later, he slid lower so he could ultimately rest his head on your shoulder. His thumb drawing slow circles over your knuckles. "And what would be so bad about that, hm? What if I said I wanted an exciting romance?"

"Puh-lease. Our hair's already graying with all the crap that goes on at the UA, do we really need to kill ourselves with stress, 'Toshi?"

"No, no." He snorted. "You're right. Just teasing, love."

You hummed, shifting so he'd be more comfortable. "Then again . . . All the smooth sailing romances end in heartbreak too so love is only playing us at this point."

"Not all romances," He chimed. Looking up at you.

Even with smudged liner, you found him to be the prettiest boy you'd ever set your eyes on. Instinctively kissing his head and missing the way he used to blush at the contact. He was used to it now, but there was a time he'd turn all shades of pink with a simple nudge on the shoulder.

You were almost remorseful to shatter those dreamy eyes. "What about Ellie and Carl from Up?"

“I meant us, idiot.” He nudged your knee with his. You witnessed his brows furrow and lips purse, and you'd kissed him in quiet apology whilst holding in a laugh. Chipping in a quick "love you" to redeem yourself but the damage was done.

He pushed you on your back and laid on top of you, leaning all his weight on you and making you call for a time out over and over. Not that he'd actually listen.

He found it endearing how every attempt he made at being sweet, you'd innately respond with something cynical. Perhaps you were embarrassed that he was actually romancing you or you were too shy to say something as sweet in return, but he adored you anyway. Lucky you.

And as his hands crept to your ticklish sides, the windmill still turned steadily in the distance.

In a small corner of his mind, that's all Hitoshi wanted you two to be. Something simple but long-standing. Steady without stress and letting the wind take you, both of you. A carefree life.

Yeah, that sounds like something he wanted.

"We should get a windmill of our own someday."

"'Toshi, have you watched any cartoons? Windmills summon vengeful vandals when they stop turning."

"y/n..."

"Haven’t you watched Courage the Cowardly Dog? It’s for our safety."

Maybe not a windmill then.

Okay, but I headcanon Denki waking up like hella early in the morning because of his quirk (at like 4am), and he always just sits alone in the kitchen eating and playing on his switch till everyone else wakes up. But then Hitoshi joins 1A, and Denki heads down like normal to the kitchen at 4am and walks in to see Hitoshi chugging a whole pot of coffee, and they're both like 'oh, well hi there' and then fall in love.

Chocolate kisses and Catpuccinos Chapter 3

Chocolate kisses and Catpuccinos CHAPTER 3

A Shinso x reader fanfiction (complete story of 4 chapters)

Read on AO3

Tags: Coffe shop/cat café AU, Shinso x reader, accident prone reader, Pro Hero Shinso, fluff, slow burn, mutual pining, clumsy reader

Word count: 7k+

Summary:

There is this man who often comes to your café. A particular customer who gives you a sense of ‘déjà-vu’. He always orders plain black coffee; no sugar, no extra syrup or topping. He then silently enjoys his drink for around half an hour, observing, and occasionally petting the cats.

His hair always looks kind of messy, untamed lavender curls that you think are maybe dyed? You often find your eyes drawn to his slim silhouette but try not to stare at him too much, not wanting to be rude. But he definitely looks familiar…

- - -

In which you are an accident prone-waitress in a cat café where Pro Hero MindJack (aka Shinso Hitoshi) likes to spend time. How will your relationship evolve through the four seasons of one year?

Chapter 3 : Autumn (Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 4)

AUTUMN Autumn is as joyful and sweet as an untimely end

When you get several days off, you take your time and browse your favorite gift shop in search of present for Shinso; to thank him for the biking lessons. After a few sessions you were able to ride alone effortlessly and felt confident enough to make the ride to work everyday. Your eyes fall on a little something shiny and you know you’ve found the perfect gift.

- - -

“Tada!” You place a little periwinkle paper-bag neatly closed with a cute sticker and adorned with a green ribbon on the counter in front of a curious Shinso.

“What is this?”

“A thank-you gift for the biking lessons” You grin. “Open it!” You press excitedly and he complies.

“You shouldn’t have…” He’s about to add something but he’s distracted by the content of the package.

In his open palm there’s a phone charm; a cute grey cat bathing into a cup of coffee, its paws resting relaxed on the edges of the white cup, its eyes closed, drawn in a circumflex shape representing its contentment. Shinso scans the thing with unreadable eyes and you wait nervously for him to say something.

“You like it?” You finally probe, quickly losing patience, doubt about your choice gripping at your stomach.

Please say yes, please say yes.

He stays impossibly silent and fishes for something in his jacket. He retrieves his phone and proceeds to place the charm on it. You beam. He likes it.

“Thank you” He politely tilts his head while looking at the display of this new accessory, lightly tapping it with his pointer finger “But really, you shouldn’t have” This time when he says it, it doesn’t sound as convincing.

“I wanted to say thanks” You insist, nervously playing with your fingers. Why you feel nervous, you don’t really know.

“It looks like Jack” Shinso comments, and your heart thunders in your chest. That’s exactly why you got this particular design; with the grey cat.

“I know right?!” You excitedly agree. You point to the charm, then to Shinso. “It’s Jack, on MindJack’s phone” You giggle at your own weird sense of humor and earn yourself one of those soft smiles your hero sometimes offers.

“Yes…” He lets you have your fun, shaking his head slightly at your lame pun, quickly turning back to scan the empty café. “Good thing no one is here to hear you reveal my identity”

You clap both hands over your mouth, realizing your blunder. “Oups” Is the only sound that escapes you. It makes Shinso snort through his nose.

He finishes drinking his coffee and while you busy yourself with actual work, out of the corner of your eye, you still catch him absentmindedly caressing the charm with his thumb.

- - -

You’re calmly humming to yourself while preparing the batter for a chocolate cake when Haru bursts into the kitchen, unannounced and visibly flustered. It’s not often you see her in this state of agitation and it instantly makes you worry.

“What’s wron-“

“Oh my God HE’s here!” She doesn’t even let you finish. “I’m sure it’s him, I’d recognize him anywhere!”

You look at her cluelessly. You don’t understand who she’s talking about but she looks half excited and half terrified. As if she’s seen a ghost… You gulp. No, ghosts don’t exist, you silently repeat to yourself.

“I can’t, I just can’t … while he’s here!” She buries her face into her hands and… Squeals?

“Who is here?” You finally ask

“DEKU !!” She gasps and she then proceeds to grab your shoulders. “The symbol of peace… In OUR cat café!!”

Pro Hero Deku.

Number one of all heroes.

The symbol of peace.

In your little cat café.

You have difficulty wrapping your mind around the revelation. “Why?” Probably isn’t the most important question to ask, yet you still ask it.

“Your biking teacher brought him here!” Haru slightly shakes you, like this detail proves it’s somehow your fault she’s in this state of distress.

So he came with Shinso? Were they friends? It would be nice, Deku probably is a very good friend.

“That’s… great?” You force a smile and Haru looks more mortified than happy.

“You have to help me; I don’t know how to deal with this! I don’t want to bother him, and I’m afraid I’ll let his identity slip; but I also want to tell him how awesome he is without making a fool of myself… Is asking for an autograph too much you think?”

You don’t quite follow the entirety of Haru’s sudden word vomit, but one thing’s for sure: your friend needs help, and you’re going to help her. You gently place your hands on her arms that are still clutching at you. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this. Go take five, drink something, and once you’re feeling better, come join me.” You sooth her and she nods. Usually Haru is the one who keeps you grounded, the most level headed of the two of you. But you’re a team and now she needs you. So you take a deep breath and exit the kitchen.

At this hour, the café is quite busy. There are several tables that need their order taken from what you see on Haru’s discarded notebook. On a table by the window far to your left, you spot Shinso’s familiar mop of lavender hair, and facing him, a green-haired young man with freckles. He looks almost plain without his costume, but once told, there’s no mistaking that he’s indeed Pro Hero Deku. You suspect the two heroes will be easier customers, so you just stroll by them with a “I’ll be with you in a minute” and a smile before you set on taking the other table’s orders. You’re taking the last order when Haru finally exits the kitchen. Her face is definitely less red than before. She doesn’t come to you, choosing to instead stay at a safe distance behind the counter, still too afraid of messing things up. Once you’re done you go to her with the orders, and she silently busies herself with preparing the drinks and pastries. Once you’re sure she’s okay, you trot to the two heroes’ table, greeting them with an apologetic smile.

“Hi there, sorry for the wait”

“It’s fine Miss” Deku gives you a beaming sunlit smile and you feel yourself blush a little. You can’t say you’re not a little bit of a fan too. Everyone is.

You turn to Shinso’s more familiar and neutral face. “Hi Shinso, happy to see you brought a friend today” You smile brightly, fueled by the symbol of peace’s joyful attitude.

“Midoriya wanted to accompany me” He only states, his arms crossing over his chest. You feel like he’s not as relaxed as usual being here. You want to get him more comfortable so you try to fall back into your usual routine.

“One tall black coffee?” You offer and he nods at you. “And for you?” You ask, turning to Deku. You have to refrain from using the word ‘Sir’.

“One hot chocolate please. And can we also have two slices of chocolate cake? I heard it’s good”

You write it down with a nod, looks like the symbol of peace has more of a sweet tooth. “Great choice. Coming up” You smile again and then walk back to the counter.

Haru eyes you expectantly and while you prepare the hot drinks, you offer to let her bring the order to Deku and Shinso’s table. She furiously shakes her head no. “I’m fine with watching from afar… for now” She mutters and you shrug, going back to your VIP table. You place everything on the table and notice Deku is already busy petting one of the cats that settled near Shinso’s feet.

“This is a really nice place. No wonder you like it so much Shinso-kun”

Deku gives you another adorable smile. “Midoriya!” Shinso is visibly embarrassed, the tip of his ears going a little pink. It’s adorable too. You’re not sure how long you’ll be able to handle the both of them without screwing things up.

“It’s a pleasure to have you” You politely reply while Deku starts sipping on his drink.

He seems to enjoy it deeply, telling you immediately that it’s really good.

“It’s homemade; my friend Haru makes it with cream. That’s why it’s so soft and rich”

“Your friend who’s been looking at us intently since we arrived?” There’s laughter in the number one’s tone, covering in the slight discomfort in his voice.

You turn to Haru. Yep, she’s definitely staring at the three of you.

You smile apologetically. “She’s a big fan” you whisper and Deku lets out a nervous little laugh, rubbing the back of his neck like Shinso sometimes does when he’s embarrassed.

“Tell her the hot chocolate is good” He simply says “And that I really like those too” He points to the little wrapped candy you always serve on the saucer beside the cups of hot drinks. It’s simple but delicious: an almond coated in chocolate.

When you report that piece of information to Haru, she goes beet red again. Before you can do anything, she grabs two handfuls of wrapped up chocolate almonds and courageously marches towards the two heroes’ table.

“For you” She stops in front of them and proceeds to drop the whole content of her hands onto the table in a rain shower of colorful candy.

Deku and Shinso are clearly not prepared for her sudden outburst of generosity and the former shrieks in surprise while the latter gets up, scaring the cat resting at his feet. The mass of candy rolls onto the floor like an avalanche, and you watch in horror as the cats start going on a rampage, chasing after every wrapped treat, pushing them with their paws, sometimes until it tears the wrapping opened. Chocolate is toxic for cats so you quickly do the best you can to pick up every single candy that fell onto the floor, confiscating the toys from your playful cats. The little display spices up the atmosphere of the whole café and most customers are laughing and loudly commenting on the cat’s cute behavior… and also on your ability to catch the candy before them. When you’re done, you’re out of breath, hands full of chocolates you probably won’t be able to use. Well, Haru planned to give them away in the first place so you guess it would probably be fine.

“Here, you forgot a few” Shinso’s voice comes from behind you and you turn back in a startle. He’s holding a couple candy in his opened palm. “Where do you want me to put them?” “You can keep them if you want. Haru seemed more than a little eager to share them with you”

“With me I’m not sure” He skeptically looks behind him and you follow his gaze to find your friend sitting onto what was initially Shinso’s chair, face hidden in her hands, a kneeling Deku in front of her, trying to console her with a soft smile and a hand on her knee.

“Sorry about that” Shinso turns back to you and you would wave yours hands to dismiss his apology, if they weren’t so full of candy. “It’s fine, don’t worry” You’re not sure what he’s apologizing for; bringing Deku here? The mess is mostly Haru’s doing afterall.

You place the salvageable chocolates in a bowl and let them on free self-service for customers who want to grab some before they go. You reluctantly leave Haru with Deku and Shinso and take care of the other customers who either want a refill or to check out. Some glances linger a bit longer on the symbol of peace, but no one seems to really recognize him with enough confidence to act on it.

Soon, the rush is behind you, and there’s only one other customer left beside the heroic duo. You allow yourself to go check on your friend who is shyly but admittedly happily engrossed in a conversation with a still kneeling Deku. Shinso has taken a seat on Deku’s chair and is busy petting a very enthusiastically purring black kitty. He’s scratching behind its ear, and then moves under its chin. You’re kind of mesmerized by the movements of his long and elegant fingers.

“Here, for you” Deku’s voice snaps you out of your reverie. You look up and lock eyes with Shinso. His gaze is unfathomable but feels intense, making you look away, shyly. Deku is handing Haru her notebook, signed, a little cute doodle beside her name. She beams at him, an avalanche of ‘thank you’ escaping her and submerging the gentle Number One. Her eyes then fall onto the clock and suddenly she gets up.

“Oh no, I have an appointment in ten” She gives Deku a quick look; it’s obvious that she doesn’t want to leave. But she says she has to.

“I’ll leave the closing to you” She tells you and she disappears into the back room to get her stuff.

When she appears again a few seconds later, she’s putting on her jacket while marching towards the front door. She stops before opening it.

“You come back whenever you want” She blurts out.

She doesn’t leave fast enough for you to miss the dark blush blossoming on her cheeks.

The room suddenly feels too calm and you let out a long exhale. It’s been a long day already. Deku sits back onto his chair. “It really is a nice place” He says again, more to Shinso than to you and the other hero just hums. You wonder how much your lavender haired hero told his friend about the café. About you. Did he say you’re the clumsy waitress whom he took upon himself to teach how to ride a bike? Shinso seems to be the reserved type, maybe even a little bit of a loner so much he seems independent. A bit like a cat you think. But to the people he cares about you’re sure he’s dedicated, just as much as he’s dedicated to his work. Your eyes fall onto the few wrapped chocolate coated almonds still sitting on the table.

“Sorry for the mess” You feel the need to apologize since you don’t really know what Haru and Deku really talked about.

The Number One assures you everything is fine and he had a great time. You thank him, and you almost call him ‘Sir’ again. As if he’s sensed your hesitation, he asks you to call him ‘Midoriya’, like Shinso does.

You try to use his name then while you chat for a little while. Midoriya is really nice. Not that you expected less from the Number One. He’s naturally goodhearted.

During the conversation, you still can’t help but steal quick glances at Shinso. He’s unusually quiet. He looks a bit lost in thoughts, eyes on you but not really watching you. At one point, Midoriya tells you about an upcoming party he’s super excited about. It’s a traditional Halloween party Yayorozu (Hero Creaty if you recall well?) holds every year at the end of October. It’s a rare occasion where all his classmates meet up, catching up with each other. It makes your head spin to imagine so many celebrities reunited.

“Shinso-kun you said you’ll come this time” Midoriya tries to include the silent cat lover into the conversation with what looks like an encouraging smile.

Surprisingly, the lavender-haired hero turns to you to answer. “You should come with me”

You’re shocked by his bold invitation. “Huh?”

“If you want to, I would like to invite you to go with me” He repeats, his hands resting tense on his lap.

You eye him, then Midoriya like they’ve just told you ghosts truly exist, wondering for a second if it’s a joke. The green-haired man gives you a gentle smile and you realize you must look panicked, and also very flustered. You turn to Shinso and the way he looks at you expectantly makes your heart ache. You don’t want to read something that isn’t there in his offer.

“I-I wouldn’t want to impose with your friends. You said you don’t see each other often a-and I’m not an important person like you are. I would probably just end up embarrassing myself… and you by extension… “ The words keep coming out, laying all your worries and doubts bare without a filter.

Shinso runs a nervous hand into his already messy hair. You’re sure he’s already regretting that he asked you to come.

“I offered because I don’t mind” He sighs and it reminds you of that time when he offered to teach you how to ride a bike. He marks a pause and then frowns a little and proceeds to correct himself. “No… I offered because I would appreciate your company. You’re my … friend too”

He looks at you and from the corner of your eye you catch a glimpse of his phone on the table. With the attached phone charm you gave him. He considers you like a friend. You, the little cat café waitress; when he knows so many wonderful persons who risk their lives to save others every day. That revelation makes your chest feel warm and leaves butterflies to fly free in your stomach.

“O-okay” You repeat the word several times, looking down to your feet, unable to stand his amethyst gaze as well as Midoriya’s emerald one on you. “I’ll be happy to go… w-with you” You feel your cheeks burn like there’s a fire under your skin.

He said friend, don’t get too carried away

“Great!” Midoriya happily concludes and Shinso seems to relax in his seat.

When they leave, Midoriya waits outside while Shinso lags behind, making sure you’re fine going home alone. The night falls earlier, but you tell him with a proud smile that you came by bike. He acknowledges the information with a warm smile of his own. You’re glad for the autonomy and safety learning to cycle brought you, but you still sometimes miss your little walks with him in the summer sunset.

“I’ll pick you up at your place for the party on Saturday”

You nod “Can’t wait!”

You’ve wrapped your mind around the idea and are excited but also a little nervous. Something occurred to you before while you were cleaning up their table, but you hesitate to ask.

“What’s the matter?” Shinso is very perceptive, and you give in and tell him what’s on your mind. “Will… Will Froppy be there?”

Given the way his eyes widen, Shinso visibly didn’t expect that kind of question. You don’t want to make the same excited fan display as Haru’s, or make it sound like you use your friendship with him to get to your idol, but you really, really, really like the friendly frog heroin. Your train of thoughts must be obvious, adoration written all over your face, because Shinso smiles again, relaxed.

“I’ll introduce you” He kindly offers and you want to hug him very badly.

But you’re on the other side of the counter.

And Deku is watching you from outside.

And he said ‘friends’.

“You’re the best” You simply say and he buries his nose into his scarf with a sniff.

You wave him goodbye as he leave with an ever smiling Midoriya. Once they’re out of sight, you squeal, doing a little victory dance alone in your little café. A party with only super heroes! Where you’ll get to meet Froppy… and maybe even Uravity! And mostly, an actual date with Shinso. Your very dear friend.

- - -

The following day, you break the news to Haru.

“I’m sorry, I-I didn’t dare asking if you could come” After the excitement to spend more time out of the café with Shinso and his friends started to dissipate, you felt bad for Haru. She was so excited to see Deku (should you say Midoriya?). She would probably love to be able to go to a party full of heroes. And you couldn’t possibly hide it from her; she was your best friend.

“It’s okay, don’t worry” She graced you with a soft smile. “I probably wouldn’t have been able to behave anyway…” She was still a little upset about the events of the previous day. “Just don’t forget to advertise for the café! “

You nod and the both of you go back to cleaning the dishes. You wash, she dries; it’s a comforting routine.

“Thanks for telling me” She whispers after a moment and you give her a fond smile, your heart feeling lighter.

In her eyes, a mischievous glint appears “This time you can’t say it isn’t a date”

You look away, face heating up. “He said we’re friends” You try to bury deeper inside you the hope that maybe you can be more. Haru puts down the plate she was holding. When she looks at you again, she’s very serious.

“Shinso’s a nice guy. I’m happy to see you get along so well you know... But, seeing him with Deku yesterday…. It feels like they’re from a different world you know”

You get what she means, you really do. She’s worried about you. Worried you’ll get involved with someone who is often gone on dangerous missions; whose dates may be interrupted whenever duty calls, who can’t have the luxury to spend lazy week-ends at home. Who probably puts everything not work related second. But Shinso’s world is so close to yours when he drinks his coffee and pets a cat with his face lazily resting on his palm.

“I know… But don’t worry; he doesn’t see me that way”

Haru sighs; she probably thinks you’re very stubborn.

“Anyways, I just want you to have a good time at that party. Make the best of it.” She picks up a cup and starts wiping it with her tea towel. “But remember to tell me all about it on Monday” She winks at you.

- - -

On Saturday night, you leave earlier, leaving Haru to close the café. You spend a ridiculous amount of time picking which clothes to wear. It’s been a long time since you last went out for a party with so many people.

You feel nervous. How are you even going to hold a conversation with so many important people? You’re sure you’ll be tempted to stick to Shinso, but he’ll probably want some time alone with his friends too. At least Midoriya will be there, that’s one more person you’re acquainted with at least.

You finally put on a dark purple dress. Simple but elegant enough for the evening. You struggle with how to tie your hair, and in the end you decide to go for your usual everyday hair do and make up. At one point you hoped to impress Shinso with some kind of make-over revelation like in movies, but being comfortable seems more tempting, and also more realistic. You’re just friends anyways.

He’s right on time and when you hear the knock on the door, you quickly put on your shoes, scarf and coat, take your purse and meet him outside.

“Hey there” You greet him and it’s met with a little smile.

“Ready to go?”

You nod and you excitedly fish something from your purse. You place the cat ears headband on your head. “I didn’t have a costume but I found these!” You proudly point to the accessory.

The face Shinso makes is a weird grimace and you don’t know if he’s appalled or if he’s trying his best not to laugh. The flat line formed by his lips trembles and his voice is a bit breathy when he tells you it’s not a costume party. You eye him up and down, and yup, he’s dressed normally, no sign of a possible Halloween disguise. In a hurry you put the cat ears back in your bag. You feel so dumb; you don’t dare look at him.

“L-Let’s go” You try to put the incident behind you, walking in front of Shinso. He catches up in silence and falls in steps with you.

“Halloween parties are often costume parties; I should have told you it wasn’t one. Sorry for misleading you” He says when he’s done thinking about it.

Your cheeks still feel warm for embarrassment. He’s too nice, trying to cheer you up. It’s not his fault you’re just an idiot. Great way to start the evening; you’re already making it awkward.

“The cat ears. They were cute though”

Your heart beats loudly in your ears and you dare steal a glance at him. You can’t tell if it’s the cold, but his cheeks look a little pink.

- - -

Yayorozu’s place is quite far away so you end up taking a cab.

Her mansion is huge. You don’t remember ever going to such a fancy place.

Your host herself welcomes you. She’s a true beauty; elegant, with silky dark hair, tall but curvy. Everything you’re not. Her kind smile makes you blush; her aura making you feel like you’re blessed to be in presence of a princess, or royalty.

Shinso looks bored, undisturbed, like it’s just normal to party with what looks like far more than the equivalent of one high school class in a palace. Yet he doesn’t quite look completely in his element, his shoulders a little tense. Maybe you’re mistaken but you don’t see him as the type of person who enjoys partying loudly and in excess. It’s easier to imagine him chilling on a couch with his arm lazily wrapped around someone, having deep, long conversations about changing the world with a few close friends until the break of dawn. You follow Shinso inside as he confidently passes through a few rooms. Some people quickly greet him, but he just nods and continues advancing towards what you realize is the buffet.

“What do you want to drink?” The music is not too loud but with everyone’s chattering, he has to lean down close to your ear so you can hear what he’s saying. His breath his hot and makes you shiver. A drink would be nice indeed. But since you don’t know what they have, you tell him you’ll have the same as him. He nods and leaves you alone to brave the swarm of people gravitating around the buffet.

He’s not even gone a minute, and he’s not very far away, but you already feel lonely in the sea of strangers around you. The guests all seem to know each other and you don’t dare start a conversation, so you end up standing lost by yourself, admiring the luxurious decor of the mansion.

“Hello there” A blond man in a dark suit greets you and you politely say ‘Hi’

“Monoma Neito” He introduces himself elegantly, with a hand placed over his heart. You’ve seen him on TV before but you don’t remember his hero name.

You give him your name and when he makes a face that tells you he’s surprised he never saw you before, you say you came with Shinso.

“Ohhh really?” He arches up one perfectly shaped eyebrow and smiles like the cat who got the cream. “And tell me, what’s your quirk?”

You’re taken aback by that question. It’s not the kind you usually ask in casual conversation. Well not for normal people at least. Did he not notice you clearly aren’t a Pro hero? Maybe Haru was right; they live in a different world; one where your quirk defines you.

“It’s some sort of light metal magnetism” You humor him, explaining the basics of your unexploited quirk.

You try to convince yourself that talking to strangers here is like making small talk with customers at the café. You can handle it, you’re usual quite sociable. However, under the blue piercing gaze of Monoma, you feel a little shy. He’s judging you from one thing alone, and it’s something that isn’t that important in your life. Shinso never gave you that feeling of inferiority in any of your discussions.

Just as you tell yourself that you hope Shinso won’t be much longer, the lavender haired hero arrives beside you and silently hands you a cup of a fizzy drink.

“Monoma” He greets plainly and you suspect the blond isn’t as close a friend of as Midoriya is.

“Looks like it’s not only metal you attract” Monoma teases and Shinso frowns, looking at you to try and understand what’s going on. Monoma’s tone is quite explicit, and your friend is clever enough to get what he’s talking about, but he also checks your expression for any kind of discomfort. It must be clear you’re not too at ease. Shinso doesn’t bother with a reply, nor do you beside a nervous little laugh. So the exuberant Monoma continues talking. “In any case I’m happy to see you grace ourselves with your presence this year Shinso. I appreciate the company of people who are like me”

You haven’t know this person for long but you fail to see the resemblance between Shinso and him. You look to your friend while you take a sip of the drink (Apple Cider. It’s good). Shinso looks even more bored than before, his expression some kind of poker face you’re not used to seeing on him anymore. “Whatever” He sighs and Monoma is about to say something when two people crash into your conversation.

“Monoma I’ve been looking for you!” A pretty redhead approaches him but in an instant, the blond is gone with a curse, trying to lose her into the crowd. She follows right after him and the strange display makes you blink twice in confusion. Are they friends? You don’t know if she gets to catch him because you’re distracted by the appearance of a loud other blond who clasps Shinso’s shoulder.

“Shinso! You’re here! Man I’m so happy to see you” It’s early but the man you immediately recognize as Chargebolt seems pleasantly tipsy. He leans most of his weight on Shinso who chastises him in mild annoyance, but tolerates the physical contact. Probably a closer friend.

“Ah if it isn’t Shinso-chan?”

Two girls arrive soon too and your heart skips a beat.

Uravity is dressed in a cute pastel pink and black dress, and beside her is none other than Froppy. You feel heat rise to your face at the sight of your favorite heroin.

Don’t make a fool of yourself, stay calm.

Uravity’s soft brown eyes fall on you. “Ah, you’re from the cat café aren’t you?”

You nod, too afraid of what may come out of your mouth if you start speaking.

“Nice to meet you” Uravity and Froppy both introduce themselves, and the frog heroine even tells you to call her ‘Tsuyu’

“It’s an honor- I mean a pleasure to meet you” You finally manage to say, your shoulders tense and you cheeks warm. It’s difficult to look them in the eyes; you’re a bit starstruck. Chargebolt who still has an arm casually draped around Shinso’s shoulder also introduces himself as Kaminari Denki.

“Pleased to meet you” You politely greet him and he smiles at you, bright and a bit silly too.

“You’re cute” He says, no filter. But you find his tone more flattering than flirty. A compliment you’re under the impression he gives sincerely, with a huge tipsy grin. These people; heroes, they’re all so good-looking. Are only good looking people allowed into this very restricted circle of celebrities? Or is it fame making them look so beautiful?

“Y-you’re cute too” You blurt out before you have time to think about what you’re about to say. Kaminari’s eyes widen, shocked for a second, but when your hand comes over your mouth to prevent yourself from saying anything else stupid, everyone laughs genuinely. Well, everyone except Shinso who seldom visibly struggles keeping his smile from growing too much.

“Why thank you Miss” Kaminari accepts the compliment proudly, with one hand on his chest. He then turns to Shinso. “I like your friend” He says, but the only answer he gets is a combination of averted eyes, a hum, and a sidestep that puts your lavender-haired companion out of his embrace.

Shinso’s friends are very nice. You’re the center of their attention for a few minutes, and thankfully, you manage to have a rather normal conversation with them. They ask about you; what you do at the café, what you like. It’s very flattering to have them listen eagerly when you explain how you met Shinso, how he saved you… multiple times. The interested party mostly stays quiet, his eyes on you as you tell his friends how he likes his coffee. At least he doesn’t correct you, so you suppose you never said something that made him uncomfortable, or that you shouldn’t have said.

At one point, Midoriya joins the group. He greets you with the warmest smile, friendly, like he’s known you for years. He asks how you are, thoughtful. And in truth, you feel fine; you’re having a good time. You see Shinso lean towards Froppy (No, Tsuyu she said to call her)

“Why don’t we all take a selfie?” She then somewhat casually offers and Uraraka claps her hands, delighted. She takes out her phone and everyone gathers around her.

On her right there’s Midoriya and Denki. The Number One presses closer to her, and you don’t miss the way they quickly look at each other. You wonder if you sometimes look to Shinso with so obviously smitten eyes. That thought makes you blush and you turn your attention back to Tsuyu who’s standing on Uraraka’s left. She motions to you to come beside her and your inner fangirl squeals when she gently puts her hand on your shoulder. Shinso comes to stand on your left, and Uraraka’s tongue pokes out in concentration as she tries her best to take the photo.

“Shinso-kun, you have to come closer, I can’t see you” She instructs and you soon feel his tall and warm figure closer to you.

His big warm hand comes to rest on your hip so he can keep his balance and lean his face closer, in order to be in the picture. Your breath catches in your throat. He’s so close. Since you’re shorter, your face is almost nestled in his neck. You catch the subtle hint of what’s probably his soap. He smells fresh, clean, like almonds you think. Just like the milk you like to pour in your morning coffee, but with an extra hint of lavender. You unconsciously take a slightly deeper inhale before you remind yourself to focus on smiling for the camera. The photo looks great. Uraraka takes your number (you can’t believe you now have Uravity’s number!) and sends it to you, and you just can’t wait to print it, frame it, and put it on your nightstand.

Shinso’s hand is still resting on your hip and you don’t dare move too much in fear he’s going to take it away. However he doesn’t shy away, instead leaning closer to you to casually ask if you want to get something to eat. You nod, ears warm, eyes on the bottom of your empty cup of apple cider. You wouldn’t mind a refill too. Shinso ushers you away from the group with his large hand this time splayed on your lower back. You try not to imagine how it would feel on your bare skin. Your eyes fall onto his own drink and you notice it lacks the light brown color of cider.

“What are you drinking?” You ask curiously, since you remember telling him to get you the same.

“Tonic” He answers, looking down to the clear bubbly liquid in his own cup. You’re not surprised he didn’t choose to drink alcohol. You suspect he would wish to stay in control; the buzz of drunkenness incompatible with the sharpness of his clever mind.

His purple gaze then meets yours, his head slightly tilted to the side. “I know you said you would take the same drink as me, but I thought this one would be too bitter” He explains and his sweet attention makes your heart flutter.

“You always drink you coffee sweetened, so I gathered you would prefer something … well sweeter”

He’s so close. You can still feel the heat radiating from the palm of his hand on your back. His eyes are on you, and you then truly realize how often he looks at you these days; noticing your habits, memorizing your preferences. Not unlike you do with him.

“Thank you” You whisper, shy but also delighted. He graces you with one of those soft smiles that make your heart melt and send butterflies in your stomach. His gaze leaves your eyes, looking lower for a split second before he looks away, focusing on the buffet instead.

“I think I’ve seen strawberry cake” He informs you while he gently pushes you forward.

You love strawberry cake. He knows.

There’s indeed some on the large display of food. There are so many dishes, including a large amount you’re sure you’ve never tried or even seen before, that you don’t really know what to get. The food is delicious and you get to meet new people around the buffet. Sadly when you start to eat, Shinso’s hand leaves your back and you suddenly feel cold despite the warm atmosphere of the party.

- - -

You’re not used to huge parties and after a few hours, you feel tired and overwhelmed. You discussed with so many new people that you feel like you’ve spent all your social energy.

At one point you lost Shinso who left to discuss something with Monoma, whom you met earlier. You ponder going back home, but you would like to inform him that you’re leaving, so you go on a quest to find him in the huge crowded mansion.

Luckily for you, you quickly come across the house mistress, Creaty, and she kindly points you to the balcony. It feels weird to roam the almost empty upper floor of someone else’s house, but with her indications, you soon find the corresponding room. And indeed, leaning on the railing of the elegant balcony, you find Shinso. You advance towards him and even if it’s probably impossible to go unnoticed when approaching a Pro-hero, you still clear your throat so as not to startle him. He looks at you from over his shoulder, stoic, almost like he expected to see you at some point. He’s not wearing his jacket, but he put his scarf on to protect his throat from the fresh autumn air. You wrap yourself deeper into your cardigan and step outside to join him.

You can tell from his thoughtful expression that he’s considering what to say, so you let him, give him time.

“Are you enjoying the party?” He finally asks, gauging your reaction.

“Very much. Thank you for inviting me” You feel genuinely grateful for this opportunity to meet so many interesting people. And for the chance to be part of his life; his real life, outside your little café, even just for one night.

“I’m glad” He says, almost to himself, his nose disappearing in his fluffy scarf.

You don’t immediately tell him you want to leave, because you want to make the most of the time you’re allowed with him; where you have him all to yourself.

“Everything looks so peaceful from up here” His voice sounds lower in the late hour, and the cold air probably isn’t to blame for the shiver that runs down your spine. “Yet the streets are full of ill-intentioned persons…”

You think back to the man who assaulted you back in the spring. Not everyone is as lucky as you and has a Pro-Hero watching over them. Does he feel guilty he’s not down there patrolling, saving people with silent dedication? Shinso looks even more tired in the moonlight; the bags under his eyes colored in a violet hue that strangely matches his hair and eyes. His profile is handsome you think, despite the slightly hollowed cheeks. You can tell his natural built would be on the lean, slim side, if his work didn’t ask for a more muscular form. His shoulders are a little broader than his hips, but not as exaggeratedly large as Deku’s, nor are his thighs as insanely thick as Dynamight’s. It makes him less intimidating, more human. You can tell he’s worked hard to be where he is, and you wish you could support him.

Realizing you were shamelessly checking him out, you look back to the city. He probably didn’t notice you staring, too absorbed in his own thoughts.

“You all deserve a little break from time to time “ You try to cheer him up at one point, wanting to take the heavy weight of the falsely secure silence off his shoulders.

He looks at you like he’s just remembered you’re here, and the small secretive smile he gives you is probably not as restrained as he intended it to be.

“There’s no place I’d rather be” He confesses, eyes back on the city lights that send a warm reflection into his amethyst gaze. That gaze that’s cool but never cold to you. You’re not sure what he’s talking about but you don’t want to look into it too deeply for fear you would ruin the moment.

On the balcony, overlooking the sleeping city, time seems suspended, minutes engulfed in the calm of the night. It’s beautiful from up here; the lights that reflect onto the clouds, creating a secret show that only you two share. You end up talking about nothing, and everything. Changing the world into a better place with words. In the comfortable alternation between conversation and silence you’ve grown used to, you let yourself step closer to Shinso, your shoulder gently brushing his.

“Are you cold?” He asks, and while you shake your head, you realize you’re shivering.

With an amused sniffing sound, Shinso unfolds his scarf from around his neck and meticulously places it around yours, despite your weak protest. Your hand automatically goes to caress the soft material of it, and when you breathe in the smell of lavender and almonds seizes you, making your head spin and your heart beat so fast you’re afraid he’ll hear it.

“You’ll catch a cold” You pout, already feeling so much warmer than before.

The right corner of his lips turns up and he shakes his head. “Don’t worry; I think I’ll head home. My patrol starts early”

You nod slowly, feeling a bit disappointed. The time you spent together in that little balcony bubble wasn’t meant to be eternal, that you knew; still, you wish it would have lasted longer. Lost in your tired thoughts, you don’t immediately notice the warm inviting hand Shinso’s offering you.

“You look tired” You wonder if it’s his polite way to tell you your make up is starting melt and you look awful. He hesitates then, not quite looking at you. “Do you want to share a ride home?”

When you take his hand, you want to believe he’s escorting you back home because he wants to; not because of the ill-intended persons that hide at night in the city; not because it’s his duty as a hero.

The warmth of the cab makes you groggy. The ride isn’t too long, but you soon feel your eyelids grow heavy. When you surrender to sleep, cheek falling onto the comfortable warmth of a shoulder beside you, your last thought is that since he’s working early, Shinso probably won’t accept coffee at your place if you offered.

The events that separate you from your bed you remember in a blur. Shinso gently shaking you awake and then making sure you get inside your apartment safely. You say something about a nice evening and when he gives you that soft smile your only desire is to hug him, to bury your face into his chest, where it probably smells just like his scarf. But instead you walk inside, bothered by the cold of the night, head heavy with the beginning of a migraine. You somehow manage to take off your clothes before you fall into bed, falling asleep the second your face touches your pillow while Cathy watches over you, pawing and then nestling comfortably on Shinso’s discarded scarf.

Shinsou X Reader | How Is It To Date Him In Starting

Masterlist

He was a bit hesitant in the starting to a point where he was paranoid if it was a long stretched prank on him from other students and your relationship was nothing more than a prank to you too.

We cannot blame him, he was never seen as normal by others, they always considered him to have a villain-like quirk, and here you were, so fascinated with his quirk.

But he was very subtle in his ways of finding so. Because what if you were actually sincere and he somehow ends up hurting you and hurting the only person who trusts him enough to stay with him.

He is not the shy type but a bit hesitant. The best thing and actually cutest thing is that he'll have these surprised/happy/adorable expressions when you do something couple-y in public. He is surprised because he is so happy inside to know that you are not scared to even show others that you are with him.

He later tells everything to his cats, since he never had a close friend he started talking to them. But you love that too because you have a habit to talk to yourself too.

Hold his hand in the halls or street, he'll have this tiny smile on his face the entire time, which he will try to hide from you. This one time you two were looking at some new hero merch that just hit the store and you said out of excitement, "Hey look they finally have Hawks headphones back in stock" as you held his hand. First, he was surprised when he said a very shy "Oh ya!" and then turned his head to the opposite way being all blushy and smiley, *hehhehe why is he so cute* but you saw him through his reflection in the window and you were full-on smirking.

He just said "shut up" while giggling with a fully teethed smile. HE CAN'T STOP SMILING OKAY?! he did a full 180 to avoid looking at you... but didn't leave your hand.

Bro, I'm in love with this guy, okay bye.
