Chapter Text
"Hey!" Y/n's head whipped around at the sound of Terushima's voice calling to her. She quickly turned away from his shoe locker and hid the small, folded piece of paper behind her back in her fist. "What are you doing at my shoe locker? Waiting for me?"
"Hi, Teru...uh, what are you doing, leaving school early? I thought you were on cleaning duty?" She avoided his question, a nervous lilt to her tone. Terushima raised an eyebrow at her unusually fidgety demeanor and tried to peer around her to see what she was hiding.
"I told the teach I had to get to the gym super early since we have to head to another school to play tonight...whatcha got there?" He said, moving closer to her and gesturing to what she was hiding behind her back.
"Nothing!" Y/n answered quickly. Almost too quickly. Terushima's suspicions rose and moved around her to try and get a peek at what she was holding. She moved with him, resulting in the two of them merely switching positions.
"Teru, I said it's nothing, now will you just—!" She was cut off by her own laughter bubbling up inside of her.
If Terushima knew anything about y/n, it was that she couldn't get away from being tickled. She tried to slap his hand away from her side, forgetting about the note and dropping it in the process. Terushima swooped for it and successfully attained it, quickly unfolding it and reading it—with each line he read, his smile grew a millimeter more until it was spread out across his face.
"Y/n-kun, you should have just told me! I've been trying to figure out the right way to tell you, too!" Terushima laughed, pulling a red-faced y/n into a full embrace.
"Well, I was planning on leaving that to the note." She muttered as she wrapped her shaking arms around him. Terushima, curious as always, had to ruin her perfect plan—but it wasn't a total loss.
