Making my Way to you Chapter 6

God this is going to suck

Sero thought to himself as he and Amelia as far as they could from the hero team. The building they entered was a generic one, about 5 floors from what he can tell. As they ran Amelia asked them what the plan was for them.

"Uh well I'm not much of a planner if I'm being honest with you" he laughed nervously. She furrowed her brow a bit at that.

"Hmm ok will well figure out something. Ok so were fighting Kirishima and Ojiro for this one. Their both hands to hands kind of guys so there's no way of getting around that" she pondered with her pointer finger and thumb in her chin. 

"Yeah that is true my hand to hand not all that I more of a capture hero than anything." Sero said.

"Ok we can still use that to our advantage though, we either need to get the weapon or capture one of them that could be easy enough. How about you stand on guard and I'll go to them. Their probably thinking the same thing as we are plus you seem to be good at moving targets too" 

Sero thought ove what she said. She was right at him being good with moving targets  he would need to be to get the best use out of his quirk. Plus Amelia could do energy outlines with her quirk and that could take whoever's on guard for the weapon. Will he would just have to take her word on it.

"Yeah I'm good for that, if anything happens let me know. It's a good thing momo made this ear pieces for us huh?" Amelia smiled and nodded her agreement.

"Yeah keeping in contact with each other is easier for us this way. Alright I'm off wish me luck!" She waved to him as he turned the corner of the door and disappeared. Sighing he started to put tape all around the room to stop anything could cross the halfway point of the room. 

After doing that he stood in a relaxed yet ready to fight stand with the door on his line of sight. As ten minutes passed he pressed on his ear piece on being greeted with heaving breathing. 

"Hey Amelia is everything good??"

"Hah...man I need to...work on my stamina..fuck" 

"Do you need help? Who are you fighting??"

"I'm fighting Kirishima"

Sero cursed under his breath at that. Kirishima is a solid fighter and with his quirk that makes him even more of a force to be reckoned with.

"But dont worry I'm trying to get him off his feet so just stand by just in case ok?" 

"Yeah no problem" the signal cut off as he sighed once again as he waited.

They ended up winning that round well enough. Amelia and Kirishima had been really going at it from what the others said when they were watching them.

"Yeah dude Amelia nothing to mess with. She fights like a pro!!" Kaminari exclaimed.

He kinda wish he had the chance to see it if he was being honest. The mild shaking of the build did scary him a bit but still would have been cool to see. They had just one fight left to see and that being Kaminari and Jirou vs Momo and Niya. 

"So how do you think this will turn out?" Sero asked Tsu. The frog girl out a finger to her chin as she pondered.

"I dont know Niya and Momo seem to be really smart. Though Kaminari lacking in that department his quirk isn't anything to mess with either. Plus Jirou can hear pretty far from what I can tell when we did our quirk exams. So it could go either way depending on what they do"

"Hmmm yeah that's true. I just hope that it wont get to intense. That fight with Midoriya and Bakugo was crazy." Sero rubbed the back of his head. Tsu nodded in agreement.

"Yeah that fight was crazy. And Midoriya breaking his arm like that was scary and kinda of gross" Toruu added.

"Hope hes ok though" Uraraka said in a somber tone. Sero night brother kicked up a bit at that and he put a hand in the shorter girl's shoulder. When she looked up at him he gave a smile.

"Hey dont worry to much she'll be ok. We have recovery girl so he wont be out for long I'm sure he'll be fine by the end of the day. Alright?" 

Uraraka smiled, "Yeah your right!! Thanks Sero" 

"Yeah no problem mija. Beside you wouldnt want to miss this fight. I'm curious to see who'll win in the end" 

"Oh yeah look their starting!" She pointed at the huge monitor on the wall. They could see the split screen of the two teams Jirou was kneeling with her Jack in the wall. 

Niya and Momo were on the third floor of the building standing by the door and seemed to be whispering from what he could tell. They did that for a couple minutes before stopping.

"What do you think their talking about?" Ojiro asked no one in particular.

"I would have to say maybe the advantage the hero team have over them. Momo has a very tactical mind and Niya doesn't seem like the type to just rush into a fight" Tokoyami commented. Most of the class agreed with him on that. Sero could see why All Might put those two on a team. 

The two girls ran out the room down the hallway, Jirou took her jack out the wall and seemed to say to Kaminari that the other team was on the move. 

"Hmmm I wonder if their just testing to see how far Jirou can hear" Iida said putting his thumb and pointer finger on his chin. 

"More then likely yeah" Tsu chimed in.

Momo and Niya took a sharp turn when they got to the second floor just barely missing Kaminari and Jirou. When they got to the end of the hallway they stopped and looked around confused. Niya tapped Momos shoulder and said something that made the slightly taller girl eyes widened in shock for a second. Her eyes then sharpened into a look into determination before she nodded to Niya with a smile.

That smile must have been what she needed to go into action. At that moment she made her move to the other team position. Kaminari turned around to her as he stepped back from her in fear. Jirou extending her earlobe into her boot stereo to blow Niya away.

"Why is Niya fighting them by herself??" Uraraka asked. 

"I dont know she maybe shes just buying Momo sometime I think she making something" Tokoyami answered. Sero eyes leaned on the bottom right screen of the monitor to see that momo was in fact leaned over and her face scrunched up in concentration. She skins was cracked around the item she was making, Sero couldn't make out what she was making.

Going back to the top screens Sero saw Jirou wet with water that he wasn't sure where it came from. Looking closely he saw that Kaminari seemed a bit nervous for some reason. Niya stood with her right foot behind her and her left in front, her arms held in a pose hands cup a but like she was holding a ball in each hand. 

"Ah!! No wonder Kaminari looked scared. Niya has a water based quirk!!" Toruu yelped. Sero eyes went wide at that fact, he didn't know how he kept forgetting that.

The three stood very still for a while, waiting for anyone to make a move. Though some may have thought it was unneeded Sero could see why she did that. His eyes moved over to the screen showing where Momo was making whatever. She seemed a bit woozy from how she was standing but she stood firm.

She put her to two fingers in her ear and started talking into her ear piece. Around the same time Niya perked up a bit and a slow smile came up on her face at whatever Momo was saying to her. Jirou eyes seemed to have heard an idea of what they were talking about.

"Hey what are doing??" Amelia asked. Before anyone could talk Niya shoot forth a powerful steam of water at Kaminari slamming him into the wall behind him. Jirou yelled something but cried out and put her hands over her ears.

"Hey what happened to Jirou??" Kirishima asked. Amelia screahed the screens and looked back at Momo.

"Oh that's what she was making!!" She exclaimed.

"What? What did she make??" Mina tugged at Amelia sleeves. Sero laughed a bit at the childish action from the pink skinned girl.

"She made a huge speaker to blare out when Jirou tired to listen in on her. That makes some much sense in the long run" 

"Yeah those two arent anything to mess with huh?" The class nodded in agreement. All Might announced the winners of the round.

As the school day came to a end Sero made his way home when he heard the hurried steps of someone behind him. 

"Hey Sero!" A high voiced called to him, the taller boy turned to the voice. He saw the chubby statue of Amelia as she jogged up behind him.

"Oh hey Ameila what's up?" 

She hunched over hands on her knees as she huffed, "Ha nothing just saw that your were walking home and wanted to join you. My house is in the general direction" 

"Oh really?? Well then Ms.Baker lets get home then"

She smiled as a warm feeling crawled up his chest when she did so. The two teens talked about the mock fights they and their classmates had.

"Man Bakugo is fucking off the wall with how he acted during him and Midoriya fight" Amelia said as she typed on her phone. Sero side eyed her to see someone with the name Tall girl something. 

"Yeah Bakugo is intense when it comes to the fighting from what I've seen. But Kirishima says hes not so bad but I dont for sure" he shrugged his shoulder.

"Hmmm I see what your saying. But man Niya and Momo are bad bitches!!! With the versatility of their quirks, they could take over the world" her cheeks flushed up at but as she pumped her fist in the air with a smile on her face.

"I can see why All Might did what he did when putting those two together. Kaminari and Jirou never really stood a chance." Sero added.

"So since were walking what your story?" Her arms swinging on her sides. Her head tilted a bit as she looked at him, her bamboo earrings touched her cheeks with her action.

He lifted a eyebrow with a smile, "What do you mean by that?" 

She rolled her brown eyes at him, "Like your family, hobbies stuff like that" she elbowed him.

"Heh ok I see what you mean. Well The name's Sero Hanta I'm the oldest of three in my family. My Mama came from Puerto Rico when she met my Dad here in the Japan. I like to do gymnastics doing my free time, but with U.A . six days school week I dont know when I'll get the chance again" He sighed in thought.

Gymnastics is a sport he did to relax and gain a piece of mind. Hes been doing it since he was around 5 years old, he can still feel the tingles that covered his body when he did his first handstand by himself.

"Aww that's so cool! I bet your super flexible!! Can you do a toe touch?" 

Sero blinked once.

Then again.

Then again.

"Huh?" 

"Ummm can you do a toe touch??" She asked in a confused matter. The two stopped for a moment as Sero brain stopped working for a moment. 

"Oh uh yeah I can let me put this down real quick" he said sliding his bookbag from his shoulder. Amelia grabbed his bag and stepped back to get him some space. 

Sero stretched some to avoid some unneeded aches later on in the night. He took a few breaths in and out before leaping into the air. With his height he was about 4 feet off the ground. Amelia gasped when he landed on the ground in a straight posture.

"Wow good job!!" Amelia clapped, Sero gave a bow to her as he laughed. Passing over his jacket to him Amelia looked at her phone for the time.

"Ahh shit I have to get home!! Niya and Me are suppose to be having a study party. Sorry about that Sero I'll see you later!" She yelled behind her as she ran her way home. 

"Ah yeah see ya later!" He called back to the girl. His hand slowly lowered as he watched as she slowly disappeared into the streets and people of the city.

He sighed as he turned the corner, "Man shes all over the place kinda reminds me of Mina a bit".

He reached with house about 20 minutes later. He opened the door with a yawn when a small body slammed into him making his legs buckle a bit. Muffled laughs reached his ears as he looked down to see a head of dark brown hair. Rolling his eyes in fake annoyance at the little boy but picked him up none the less as he entered the house.

"Hi Sero!!!" Haru yelled at the top of his lungs. The scrapping of plates and running water became louder as he got closer. He sat down his school bag on the love seat, stomps could be heard upstairs. 

Maybe its Papa doing some exercise with Mari from all that noise.

"Hey Haru how was your day mijo?" The five year old legs swung back and forth as they made their way to the kitchen, his mom gave him a kiss on the forehead as she sat out the plates.

"Oh it was good! I can spell most of the practice words by myself!" His smile covered his face as his eyes shined in achievement.

"Woah good job!! Now about you spell some for me then" the smaller nodded and jumped off Sero lap and ran upstairs to get his worksheet.

"Oi! Tell you dad and sister to come down with you to eat!!" Their mom called to him.

"So Sero anything interesting happened at school today for you?" Curly hair pulled into a low ponytail as she mixed the pot with her hand on her hip.

"Honeslty kinda of intense, first we had All Might teaching our class he had I do mock fight with our classmates. One fight had one kid broke all the bones in his arms and pass out from the pain" He never understood how Midoriya was even able to handle all that pain he was in the first place. He would have passed out not to long after pulling that stunt.

Hylla lips flipped up in a grimace at his story, "Ah I hope that baby's ok that's a lot to happen to someone on their first day. How about your fight?" 

"Ahh I mostly stood back and protected the weapon. My classmate did most of the fighting shes super strong too!! Her quirk is cool" Hylla passed him a orange juice box as he thanked her.

"Ooh really? What kind of quirk does she have?" 

"Hmmm she calls it energy absorption she can take the engery from anything or anyone around her. She had to fight another classmate with a hardening quirk it sounded like she was having a hard time with him" 

"Well it's a reason you kids are there, to get the best teaching to help you get the ins and outs of your quirk" the stampede of feet coming down the stairs made the two pause for a bit. A man in their mid 40s came into the kitchen doorway his hair close shaven and a smile on his face as he greeted his oldest.

"Ah Hanta my boy how was school today??" A strong arm wrapped itself around his bony shoulder, he hope he would be as tall as his dad when he was older. 

"Ugh-! Ah good Papa doing some mock fights, getting to know some classmates better all that jazz" he let out a breath of relief when his Papa let him go and almost dropped him back into his seat. 

"I heard you had All Might for a teacher, is he as cool in real life as he is on tv?" Mariposa leaned into her hand as she glanced over at her older brother. He pondered on that question for a moment.

"Hmm yeah for the most part, hes super big even though I knew that but seeing it in real life is a bit eye opening"

"Well son with how your growing yall be behind him in no time" he heard his sister snort in an attempt to cover up her laugh. He stuck his tongue out at her since he couldn't flip her off, in front of their parents at least.

"Your father's not wrong, you what 5'10 at this point?? You'll be as big as your uncle in a couple years if your anything like him" Hylla commented off handed eating her rice.

"Oh wow Hanta you'll be a giant!! You could carrying me everywhere" Haru said excitedly.

"Alright we get it Hanta going to grow like a weed no need to rub it in" Mari said grumpy as she picked at her food. Their mom eyed her over her cup as she drank.

"Aye shorty dont take that out on us" she said with a smirk. It was Sero turn to laugh at the look on his sister face from the short comment. She hated when people did that.

"Oh come now Hylla dont mess with her too much, you'll bite your ankles if you keep at it" 

Mariposa threw a fish at their Pap face as everyone at the table laughed till they couldn't breath.

Shindo Yo x Male!Reader

Title: What If? Genre: Angst to Fluff Warnings: Self doubt, readers second year at UA and third year at Ketsubutsu for Shindo, reader has anxiety, drama Word count: 3571

Quirk: Light Wings- You have iridescent wings allowing you to fly and manipulate light fractals at your will. You can control if the wings are out or not.

Drawbacks- Sunburn, fatigue, soreness and shortness of breath

"Will you be my boyfriend?" My heart stopped beating, Yo and I had been talking for the last few months. Nobody was thrilled that a UA student was talking to a Ketsubutsu boy, more Bakugou than anyone. Yes, Yo had his mask but he dropped it around me and his friends, always being protective of us and wanting the best for our futures. With one thought in mind I quickly nodded my head and jumped into his arms, he stumbled a bit but spun me around. I've been waiting for this day for so long, how could I say no? He took the train to visit me so he's thankfully staying the night. He set my feet back on the ground and held me in place, hands firmly plants on my hips with my arms draped over his shoulders. "Can I kiss you?" I burned a bright red and nodded once, immediately captivated in the feeling of his lips on mine. It was slow, and bristling with heat. I never knew one kiss could make me feel like this. We pulled away after a moment and he placed a kiss on my forehead before we headed back to my place.

——————

Four months into a relationship, long distance but we were making it work. Every weekend one of us would take the train over and visit unless something came up at home or it was a test week.

This was one of the weeks I couldn't go, my mom got sick and I have to take care of her. I explained it to Yo and he was understanding. He wasn't mad or anything, he was very understanding and told me to let him know if we needed anything.

So why am I sitting here crying?

My Instagram flooded with dm's, people from his school sending me the same picture of him and another girl kissing.

From Tatami: Hey, talk to Shindo about it, I know a lot of people have been sending you that picture.

Except I didn't want to talk. I just wanted to sit here and cry. So that's what I did. I ignored my phone the whole weekend, I didn't have it in me to talk about it.

Sunday came all too soon, my best friend could tell by my face alone that something was wrong. The moment he saw me walk into the dorms late that night and spring up from the couch. Figuring if I came in late enough nobody would be there but of course he would wait.

"Y/N? What happened, mariposa?" Hanta asked me, his triangle smile dropping. I just shook my head and kept walking. Well, I tried to. He blocked my way and tugged me into a hug. The waterworks started all over again as I sniveled and tried not to let any sobs escape my body. My best friend guided me to the couch and sat the both of us down. "What happened? Was it Shindo?" I meekly nodded my head in response before pulling out my phone. I clicked on Instagram and had thirty new notifications, most of which being people messaging me again.

"People from his school started messaging me, all of them sending me the same picture with a lot of different comments. I kn-knew when I came out it would be hard and people would say stuff but I’ve been ignoring my phone all weekend. I’ve just been so drained and overwhelmed I didn't know what to say."

"I get that, but maybe try talking to him before something goes further downhill. Y'know?" I nodded and felt my stomach drop, why did I have to do this? "What are you thinking about mi mariposita?"

"Why do you still call me butterfly? I thought you would grow out of that after we got to middle school." He laughed but accepted the change of topic.

"It stuck! What can I say?" I smiled for the first time this weekend and curled into his side. He hummed a tune like he always does and played with my hair, effectively coaxing me to sleep.

3rd Person POV

Sero heard your phone buzzing in your lap. He knew he shouldn't have but he grabbed it and instantly saw Shindo's name pop up with a picture of the two of you. He sighed and answered.

"Hey."

"Sero? Where's Y/N?" He sounded frantic and did his best to mask it.

"He got back to the dorms a little bit ago and just fell asleep on the couch, we had a mini therapy sesh on what happened this weekend. He's hurting a lot but I told him he should talk to you. I’ve never seen the mariposita this torn up." Hearing Sero call you a pet name set a fire in Shindo's stomach, unadulterated jealousy swimming through his veins.

"Wait why do you have his phone?"

"He fell asleep on me, gave me a hug and was out like a light."

Are you fucking kidding me. That was the only thought going through the Ketsubutsu boys brain. He knew he had no reason to be jealous, even if by chance Sero was bi. But something about you seeking comfort in someone else made his stomach twist and turn.

"Okay. Whatever, thanks bye." Shindo hung up without anything else and Sero sat there confused.

Had he said something wrong? He didn't know if something else was going on but he knew this wasn't going to be good. With a sigh he tucked your phone away and picked you up to carry you back to your dorm.

He laid you down on your bed and placed your phone on your nightstand and on the charger, double checking your alarm was set and left. Something about this felt off to him. Something just didn't feel right about this, not the situation but like it was about something else. Like something else was going on that you didn't know about and he wished that you would just message Yo. He had never seen you this happy and he knows that the third year is the cause for it.

Your POV

I rolled out of bed and got ready for my first day back, I hated Mondays but this one felt more than normal. My heart constricted and my stomach lurched when I saw more notifications.

From Buzz Buzz Boy: I wish you would just talk to me instead of going to a whole new guy

From Buzz Buzz Boy: I want to explain what happened but you won't let me

From Buzz Buzz Boy: Why can't you just text me? I know you asked Tatami what happened, she said she won't tell you because she wants us to work it out on our own

From Buzz Buzz Boy: At least open these so I know you're okay, please?

From Tatami: What happened last night? Shindo was upset and said something about another guy?

Another guy? What other guy? I'm not the one who supposedly cheated and got caught.

Are the talking about Hanta? But they know he's my best friend, why would they assume that?

I sighed and texted Tatami back saying I didn't know what she was talking about. Quickly getting ready and dragging myself out of bed. A knock sounded on my door before swinging open and revealing Hanta.

"Feeling any better?" I shrugged a little bit, not really feeling that great after the texts I had received. "Shindo called you a few times last night so I answered once just to tell him you were alive and safe."

So that's what that was about.

"It's okay, that makes sense now. Apparently he's getting jealous and thinks that I'm interested in you so that's fun."

"What? Gross! You're like a brother to me! But seriously, talk to him. You know I have my own spidey senses so please just talk to him." I shuffled out the door, the two of us starting our walk to school.

"I don't know.." He gave me a pointed look and I caved. "Fine, I'll talk to him." He slung an arm over my shoulder and got excited.

"Thank you." I lightly nodded in response as we walked into class.

To Buzz Buzz Boy: Hey, can we talk?

I tucked my phone away and sat through the miserable lecture, trying to focus through the buzzing of anxiety that was rattling my bones. I kept getting side glances and worried looks from Hanta. He knew me too well. My leg bounced uncontrollably and I couldn't focus for the life of me. After the longest six hours of my life, I trudged back to the dorms with my best friend on my trail, completely ignoring the rest of the Bakusquad to talk to me. We were the first ones back and he immediately followed me to my room. I paced the room as I allowed my thoughts to finally run rampant, Hanta stopped me in my tracks as I racked my fingers through my hair. In all honesty I hadn't even processed that he followed me into my room.

"Breathe mariposa and tell me what's wrong." My eyes darted around and he slowly grabbed my wrists, pulling them down from my scalp.

"What if it's too late? If I said something sooner and just talked to him like a normal person then I wouldn't feel like this and I wouldn't be left with this feeling of uncertainty and it's all my fault. If I just-" He pulled me into a hug, embracing me in warmth and my arms wrapped around his waist.

"What's done is done. If he knows anything about you then he won't hold it against you."

——————

Friday rolled around, albeit the worst five days of my life. But Hanta and I decided to have a sleep over like old times. My mom worked a high end job and would be out of town until Tuesday, we would stay up late watching movies, drink overly sugary drinks we shouldn't and order out with the money my mom left from when we were about nine years old. We haven't had one recently because of school and after this week we needed on.

Half way through the first movie there was a knock on the door. I got up off the couch in my blanket cocoon and saw Shindo on the other side of the door. I froze, the two of us staring at each other and I was sure I looked like shit.

"Mi mariposita, who was at the door?" Hanta came up behind me, one arm resting on the door the other gripping the door lightly. "Oh, hey Shindo." A dark look crossed over Yo's face, his eyes narrowing at the sight.

The older male turning whilst shaking his head. I rushed out and gave Hanta a nod of my head, silently telling him to go back in. The door clicked shut and I stood awkwardly on the porch. I knew I looked like crap, my hair messy and scattered, my eyes red and puffy with dark circles showing through.

"Can we talk?" My voice was shaky and weak as I stated at porch beneath my feet.

"About what? You ignore me and then I come here to talk to you about it because I know how you get just to find you with your best friend. The guy you reassured me about so many times? The guy you just made your rebound after we didn't even officially break up? Y’know what.. I'm done." He walked down the porch.

"Yo! Wait! Please."

"For what? Some excuse? I said it before L/N. I'm done. And you don't have the right to call me my given name anymore." A tear slipped down my face as he walked away.

I slid back in through the door, a fresh wave of emotions punching me in the gut. Hanta caught me in his arms and cradled my head to his chest. He was speaking spanish so I didn't understand what he was saying but it was relaxing anyways.

"I heard what happened. Let's go watch the rest of our movies. Yeah?" I weakly nodded my head as he led me over to the couch. I curled up into his side in defeat.

This is all my fault.

A few hours passed and I felt better, maybe the wrong word. Placated, I suppose would work. I was mentally and emotionally drained so I managed as best as possible. Until my phone got a notification.

From Tatami: What happened to talking things out with Shindo? He said something about another guy?

To Tatami: I tried talking to him, he showed up at my house while Hanta and I were having a movie day and assumed the worse. I couldn't really get a word in and any time I tried he cut me off and talked faster and louder. I don't know what to do at this point Tatami.

From Tatami: Jesus, I'll try and talk to him, he may not admit it but he gets insecure at times so I can see where his mind went to

To Tatami: You don't have to, I'm gonna try and talk to him tomorrow, I just hope it goes alright.

I tucked my phone away and grimaced when I saw ten Instagram notifications. Why couldn't people just leave well enough alone?

——————

The next two weeks passed by painfully, every text and phone call I got was ignored or denied. I felt like a shell. Just an empty shell floating around and bumping into interactions out of convenience. After a week, I gave up on trying to reach out. If he's really done with me then who am I to push him into something he doesn't want?

"Go see him." I stared at my best friend precariously. "I know you miss him and trying to reach him virtually didn't work so go take a train and visit him. I know it's not my fault but I still take some of the blame okay? So go see him and sort this out, so he at least knows the truth. So you both can know the truth. Ditch the last period I'll cover and say you went home cause it was a family emergency or something." I hugged my best friend and ran to the train station, he was right. This was something I needed to do.

The next two hours on the train were horrible, my nerves racked my body as I tried to process anything I wanted to originally say to him. The train lurching to a stop, my stop, brought me out of my thoughts. I walked the familiar route to his house, one I had walked so many times before. He should be getting home soon. I just hope he'll talk to me. With a shaky knock on the door, a moment later it swung open revealing his mother. She was a sweet lady, kind and caring beyond relief. She filled the motherly role that lacked some days in my life without a second thought and welcomed Yo and I'd relationship with open arms.

"Y/N! I was wondering when I'd see you again! Come in, come in. I had a feeling something was going on with you and my son so I won't make it wait any longer. Go talk to him, and afterwards we can bake something alright?" I sheepishly took off my shoes and straightened myself out from all of her fussing.

"Thank you.. I just hope it's not too late."

"I'm sure it's not. I've never seen him look at anyone the way he looks at you." I smiled and nodded once and walked up to his room. I took a breath and knocked lightly.

"Come in!" Slowly I opened the door, Yo's face hardening at the sight of me. "What do you want." He was laid on his bed but sat up on the edge at the mere sight of me.

"Can we talk? Please?" He shook his head with a sigh before nodding. Cautiously I walked in and shut the door, finding a seat at his desk chair.

"What did you want to talk about now?"

"About everything that's happened in the last three weeks? I think we both had some misunderstandings and I don't want to lose you over that of all things." He scoffed and flopped back, arms crossed behind his head. "I went awol after I got sent the picture because I shut down and it was overwhelming. Almost everyone from your school was sending it to me with something else to say. Some of them got to me and it made me over think. I turned into a big ball of anxiety and shut people out. Nothing romantic wise has ever happened between Hanta and I, he has a girl that he likes and he doesn't swing that way. He's like a brother to me. He told me that he answered your call Sunday night because he wanted to let you know I was alive and safe. Friday we were having a sleepover and were in the middle of a movie because my anxiety was through the roof that whole week and I broke down for the umpteenth time. Then you showed up. And now we're here." He was rigid as stone as he processed what he was just told.

"I never cheated on you."

"I had a feeling, that's not really who you are. My mind just did what it does best and told me the worst case scenarios."

"That was an old picture from my first year at Ketsu. That girl and I were dating and she came up to me about a month and a half ago asking if I was really dating a guy. So I told her yes and she got upset. It wasn't long until the picture started getting sent around and she started the rumor that I kissed her and that she had me back." It was my turn to nod and take everything in.

"That makes sense." My voice was barely a whisper as tears started to pool in my eyes. "Are we okay? I know I should've talked to you about sooner and I'm sorry I didn't. I really miss you and even if you don't want to date again, I'll settle as friends." That sentence made him shoot up and stand. He approached me and cupped my face making me stare at him.

"Hey, I love you." My heart skipped a beat as it started to rush. It was the first time we had said it to each other.

"I love you too." He smiled lightly and placed an angel light kiss on my lips.

"We're okay. C’mon." He dropped his hands and lightly held my own, tugging me over to his bed.

"Lemme take my blazer and tie off, it's really uncomfy." He smiled and laughed softly but dropped my hands as he laid back down on his bed. I shrugged of the blazer and threw off my tie, undid the top button and climbed into his bed. His strong arm immediately wrapped around my waist and pulled our chests together.

"Don't cry anymore, I'm sorry for not listening and getting jealous. I had no reason to be. Hearing him call you that name just set me off for some reason."

"Wait, mariposa or mariposita?" He sheepishly nodded and I giggled. "You don't know what it means do you?" He craned his neck back and looked at me with a questioning glint in his eye. "It means butterfly or little butterfly. He's called me that since I got my quirk because of my wings." Yo's face dropped at the newfound knowledge.

"God do I feel stupid."

"Yeah but you're my stupid boy."

"Yeah, yeah I am." I placed a quick kiss on his cheek before he got a Cheshire cat grin on his face. "What are you thinking?"

"I wanna be petty." I chuckled and watched as he pulled out his phone, quickly going on Instagram and pulling up the camera. "You okay with this?" I nodded and smiled, expecting him to take a picture but instead he took a video. He placed a kiss on my temple. I blushed but cupped his cheek and pulled him into a quick kiss, the both of us smiling into it. He ended the video and we watched it back, he saved it to his camera roll and I groaned sarcastically. "I love this video." He didn't put a caption on it as he posted it on his story and tucked his phone away. He pulled my closer to his chest and nuzzled his head into my messy (h/c) locks. "I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too."

"If you get overwhelmed please just tell me we can talk later? Or something? I thought the worse and I didn't want to lose you permanently."

"I will. Okay? I love you."

"I love you too."

mariposas y herbias

to say sero hanta was hot was a huge understatement. that man could stand beside anyone and the person beside him dare have the AUDACITY to exist.

your thoughts kept running wild as you eye the class 1-a student, monoma getting pissed at you for this. "you seriously like someone from that class? at least have some taste!"

you ignore the blonde's complaints, your eyes never leaving the radiating boy. your lips wobble when he let out a laugh so beautiful it sent butterflies in your belly. he glanced at your direction and you immediately look away, trying your best to hide the blush that was creeping on your cheeks.

"that was so subtle of you, really~" tetsutetsu teased as you started playing with your food. you shot him a quick glare before leaving, "i'm gonna go get some air" you told the two before turning your heel, not giving them any time to respond.

you let out a huge exhale of breath as you finally exited the cafeteria. oh my god that was so embarrassing, you whimpered as the event flashed once again. but on a good note, you two made eye contact, and that's all that mattered for now.

taking a seat on a nearby bench, you felt the sun's rays dance on your skin, it felt like such a nice day, too bad school doesn't end for 2 more hours.

you were lost in thought until you felt someone sit beside you. "perdón" the words rolled out of the person's mouth, sending waves of electricity into your body. you glance to see sero sit beside you.

wait

sero

sero is sitting beside me.

SERO IS SITTING BESIDE ME!?!

you try to act coy and wave as a sign of approval, but the tint on your cheeks gave you away. you tried to think of the proper things to say to him. would he even want to talk? why'd he leave his friends he seemed to enjoy his conversations with them... well not like i know i mean i just loo-

"you're from class 1-b with sen, sí?"

oh my god why did he have to be so hot.

"ah, yeah, how'd you know him?" you tried to keep your voice at a moderate tone but it just raised at a higher tone. darn you, hanta.

"he was pretty good at the cavalry battle, i talked to him a few times." you gave a short grunt at this, not really knowing what to say.

silenced blanketed the both of you, he seemed to be at peace but you were getting antsy. this is your crush right here, right beside you, and what are you doing? picking at the bench and making herbs from the pieces. that's what. youd cringed at this and tried to stop but sero took notice of your motions.

"oh cool! is your quirk plant based?" he asked, a grin formed on his face as he did. god he's so cute, and for what? "uh, yeah! i can turn anything into plants as long as i know what type of plant i want it to be."

he nodded at this and picked up some of the rosemaries you made and smiled a bit. "interesting." he commented, which made you blush even more. this man could literally just breathe and you'd be a mess, talk about whipped.

sero started to shift, as if preparing to leave. you frowned at this, still wanting his presence even though he probably doesn't know your name.

you had to do something, anything to hang out more with him!

in a whim, you blurted out, "quires venir aquí?" your face paled when those words slipped out your mouth. what the hell. he literally just met you, why'd you go and ask that?

you quickly sit back up and tried to explain, "uh i mean, like hang out you know? like buds hahaha, chillin'! yeah, right? hahaha." you stammered trying to save yourself the embarrassment. you looked over at him and he was grinning, his pearly white teeth shining as he did, his eyes crinkling as well.

"sure, that sounds fun!" he beamed, you felt your heart skip a beat as he said that. was he serious? why would he even do that- wait oh my god he's gonna come over i-

he passed his phone over to you, showing a blank contact, you take it and fill it in, hands sweating over the fact that this is happening. you take yours out too to have his contact and he typed his down.

"i-i'll let you know when!" he nodded at this and left, giving you a small wave, "nos vemos, y/n!"

holy fucking shit you just scored a date with sero hanta.
