"You 1-A scums feel like you're so special when you're just a bunch of troublemakers!" There he was again.
"You may have a flashy quirk but you barely ever get to do anything productive with it!" At least he wasn't saying anything to you, because why would anyone say anything to you.
"Hey! Did you hear me?" After all who would notice you anyways. "You with the headphones, are you even listening?"
Wait.
What?
"Man, you were talking to me bro?" You said, surprised by having someone besides Aoyama say anything at all to you. I mean yeah, you were the only one on the patio but that's how weird it was that anyone spoke to you.
"Oh I get it, you think just because you are in 1-A no one from the inferior groups is worth to talk to you" The blond guy kept on with the one-sided argument; it was almost sad, seeing him making all those exaggerated movements while showing that cynic smile of his... Honestly, it was such a mood.
"Nah man, I just think I'm not worth talking to" You retorted with a pose, grinning as if you had just told a great joke and that caught him off guard. "What?-" A heavy hand on the back of his neck cut him off before he could come with a- well he wasn't even sure if he was going for a clever comeback or with an 'are you okay?' but that's not the point here.
Now there was an unconscious body, being held by Kendo and you were still in an awkward pose, amused by what had just happened. "I'm sorry you had to deal with this guy, please don't mind whatever he said"
"Oh! No, it wasn't a bother at all" you said.
"Really?, this guy is such a pain sometimes, I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to punch him." Kendo said jokingly.
"Nah, I'm worse to deal with" you said with that ridiculous pose and grin letting out a giggle.
Holy shit.
That was the cutest thing Monoma had ever heard in his entire goddamn life, but to hide the pretty obvious blush on his face he opted for acting unconscious.
"Well I gotta get going so, I guess I'll see you around?" Kendo said in an awkward tone.
You noticed how she was uncomfortable and quickly retrieved your pose "Y-yeah" you said shyly.
Just as Kendo had left, a friendlier face appeared "Sorry for the lateness" said Aoyama, his dazzlingness sharp as always.
"Don't worry dude, what did Aizawa want anyways?"
"Nothing, he just said my grades are getting worse."
"Welp that sure sounds like nothing." You said in a sarcastic but playful tone.
"What about you, anything happened while you were waiting for me? I saw Kendo dragging Monoma."
"Yeah, he just came at me saying the usual stuff, but at first I didn't know he was talking to me and-" Aoyama interrupted you.
"Hon, who else was he supposed to be talking to? The trees?" He said gesturing at the emptiness surrounding you, astonished by your stupidity.
"Good point" you said in an acknowledging manner.
"Anyways, the thing is he said something and I answered in the way I always do and so I managed to make two persons uncomfortable" You said in a somewhat sad tone.
"Don't give it too much thought" he said, his sparkling aura soothing you somehow.
"Yeah, maybe I shouldn't worry" You reached into your bag and got out a ball of cheese "I gotcha the goods"
Aoyama raised an eyebrow "It's Queso Oaxaca" you said with a smirk.
Later that night Monoma couldn't help but to think of you. Something about you seemed sad but you didn't seem to bother, he tried to sort out if you were just kidding or if you were a nihilist.
"What the hell was that?"
The following days he couldn't help but to observe you, he started noticing little things, for example; you were a god-tier memer and your personality was similar to Kaminari's but the reason why you didn't hang with him is that you were too shy to do so.
Aoyama was your best and only friend.
You had a strong quirk but passed unnoticed by your previously mentioned shyness.
You were indeed a nihilist. But not the usual kind, instead of getting depressed by all of your pessimism you would embrace it with humour.
Ironically you wanted to become a hero to make the world a little bit better, or perhaps so that you could talk about how everything sucks without having anyone telling you how you weren’t doing anything about it.
Monoma didn’t seem to realize how much he liked you until Kendo addressed the issue.
"Stop staring at her before she sues you"
"I'm not staring at anyone!" Monoma lied, his face growing redder with both anger and embarrassment.
"It's kinda funny tho" Kendo started speaking as she cut the meat on her lunch tray "You hate class 1-A yet you are head over heels for one of them" she said taking a bite of her food.
"Well I don't like her and I'm gonna prove it to you" Monoma said as he stood up and walked toward the table where Aoyama and you were sitting.
He leaned and was preparing an insult but how could he say anything like that to you, that's illegal.
"Anything I can help you with?" You said raising an eyebrow. That was his cue.
"Oh, nothing I was just wondering, how does it feel to belong to the oh so great class 1-A and yet be unnoticed by everyone inside and out of your class?"
Now he had done it.
He was scolding himself internally for saying that and was prepared to accept anything you would do next.
"Well I've been watching you and you have been staring at me, so I'm not really being unnoticed bro"
"And why were you looking at me?" Monoma asked genuinely confused.
"Well I just think you look pretty"
Monoma froze at your commentary along with Aoyama and Kendo who were watching the whole thing unfold.
That was pretty bold of you and Monoma's now usual blush came back to his cheeks, his chest tightening; 'well you're very pretty too' that's what he wanted to say but the words didn't come out from his mouth.
"Pretty much like the Kazoo kid" you said abruptly.
"NICE ONE (Y/N)"
You heard Mina shout from the table in front of you, you turned to see Aoyama's look of disappointment and Monoma was nowhere to be seen.
"You chickened out" said Aoyama.
You were back at the dorms and were currently lying face down on the floor of Yuga's room
"Dude I know, I just- I don't think I have the guts to do so"
"But you did!"
"Yeah but I remembered he definitely doesn't like me and saved my ass from suffering an embarrassing rejection!"
You felt Yuga grab your right foot and drag you outside his room. "What the hell Yuga?!"
"(Y/N) I'm doing this for your own good" The blonde boy said in a serious tone. "You are hereby exiled from the dormitories and are not to return until you have properly confessed to that Kazoo kid."
And then he slammed the door in your face.
You then proceeded to walk towards the 1-B dormitories.
You knew Yuga was right. You had been watching Neito for a long time now, and boy did you have the most gigantic crush on him.
There was something about him you couldn't help but to be attracted to.
Yes, he was annoying and he hated your class with a burning passion but when he wasn't attacking your class he was working hard to become a hero and helping his class.
He sure had leader material and you admired his determination.
You liked how kind he was.
How supportive he was towards his classmates.
How he was always giving his best and helping others to do so.
But then again, he hated your class and you by default, but that didn't make him any less charming to you, more like more unattainable.
You had to apologize and tell him the truth, you had already accepted he would never like you back so you weren't going to 'give it a try' more like get it off your chest.
You were a pessimist because you were either right all the time or gladly surprised by being wronged. So it was more like a cushion.
You were almost arriving at the dormitories when you saw Monoma sitting under a tree reading a book. He was relaxed, something weird to see with how he acted around your class all the time.
'Freaking Avril Lavigne is right' you thought.
The sunset graced his features making his golden hair shine.
"What a cliché scenario" You said making Neito look away from his book.
"Oh it's you again, what do you want now?" His tone wasn't like all those times he would mock you and your class, it sounded dry and it hurt you.
"Sorry I uh" you were stammering, you weren't the best at apologizing, and apologizing to your crush was even harder.
"I wanted to apologize, for what I said earlier" You said fidgeting your fingers and looking at the ground.
"I didn't mean that- well I mean I did-"
"Don't worry" He interrupted you in that monotone voice that hurt you so much to hear "Just leave it like that."
"Y-yeah" Again you weren't able to tell him how you felt.
"Is that all?" Monoma said while staring at you.
"Actually, no" you said as you looked him in the eye with a determined gaze.
oh shit
"I did mean what I said earlier" shit, no.
"You do, look pretty much like the Kazoo kid" no, stop you dumbhead.
"But"
"Y-you also look very pretty. And I like you a lot Monoma."
...
He just stared at you with a surprised look on his face.
There was nothing but silence
"Andlikeyeahyou'rereallyhotandstuffandlikedamnbro" You just blurted out looking at the ground again.
This was the most embarrassing moment in your entire life and it only got worse as you heard that asshole burst into laughter.
Tears were threatening to fall from your eyes when you felt his soft fingers list up your chin and you were suddenly staring into his blue gaze.
"You are weird, you know that?" His voice sounded so sweet and smooth which caught you off guard making you blush even more, which was a surprise.
"You are very pretty too and I also like you a lot" His gaze was soft and the way he spoke to you was enough to make you melt.
"And" he said leaning in closer to your ear "You also have pretty lips" he said in a low tone with what you could have sworn was a smirk but you weren't able to see it well because next thing you knew he was kissing you.
You closed your eyes and kissed him back, it was your first kiss as well as his; it was clumsy, a bit sloppy but it was beautiful.
You broke the kiss, your head resting against his chest, both of you breathing heavily and blushing madly.
"I think we're gonna have to practice on that" you said, a dumb smile across your face.
"Yeah, but only if you agree to become my girlfriend" Neito said caressing your cheek.
You planted a peck on his lips.
"I don't see why not, kazoo kid."
