I would die for Kirishima, I love him so much. I see him as a nervous child also, he's just better at hiding it most the time.
Eijirou looks down at his hands, looking at the handmade card with a frown on his face. What if Midoriya didn't like it? Maybe he should have just stuck to chocolate instead, but that's what everybody gives for Valentines Day. Eijirou is hoping that the card, plus what's written inside, will be enough to convince Midoriya to give him a chance.
Eijirou steps into the classroom, sighing when he realizes that Midoriya isn't here yet. He takes his seat instead of wandering over to Sero's desk as usual, fiddling with the card in his hands. Sero, Mina, and Kaminari see him though, and give each other matching grins before huddling around Eijirou's desk.
"Did you see him yet?" Mina whispers excitedly, flashing him a grin.
Eijirou ducks his head, a blush rising to his cheeks as he mumbles. "Not yet."
"You can't avoid him this time." Sero warns with a smile. "You lost the bet."
"I know." Eijirou groans, he never should have made that bet, not when he was up against Mina in bs. No one can beat Mina's poker face. "I'll get to it...eventually."
"C'mon dude it's better to just talk to your crush anyways. Just let him know how you feel." Kaminari says, nodding his head sagely.
"Coming from the guy who hasn't had a date in his entire life." Jirou snorts as she walks by to her own desk.
Kaminari gives a scandalized gasp. "I resent that."
"Doesn't mean it's not true." Jirou shoots back, putting in a pair of headphones.
Kaminari looks to the three of them, as if asking for support. Sero shrugs, and Mina mutters, "Well she's not wrong."
"I can't believe this betrayal. I turn to you for support and this is what I get." Kaminari whines, turning to Eijirou.
Eijirou raises an eyebrow. "Have you had a date?"
"Just because everyone i've asked has said no doesn't mean anything." Kaminari pouts, sticking his nose up in the air. "All of you are just nonbelievers."
"Even if Kaminari is a desperate bi, its good that your finally going to talk to him." Sero says, ignoring Kaminari's scandalized gasp. "The worst he can do is say no."
"Yeah," Kirishima puts his head in his arms. "it is."
"Hey," Mina puts a hand on Eijirou's shoulder. "I'm pretty sure no one could say no to you. You are literally sunshine incarnate and if you could see the way Midoriya looks at you you would have asked him out months ago."
"Seriously, she's right." Kaminari adds, but Eijirou can only hear Midoriya's melodic chuckle as he walks into the classroom behind Uraraka and Iida.
"Go get him!" Mina hisses, nudging Kirishima's shoulder.
"He's still talking to Uraraka and Iida, I can't just go over there." Eijirou says back, his hand tightening around the card.
"Dude he's always with them, I'm sure they won't mind." Sero retorts, poking Eijirou's head. "You can't make excuses forever."
"I know, I know, but…" Eijirou sighs, glancing in Midoriya's direction. The freckled boy was grinning to something that Iida said, leaning against his desk.
"Come on shitty hair!" Bakugou's huff snaps Eijirou out of his stupor. Before he can do anything, Bakugou has shoved past Mina and Sero to grab Eijirou from the collar of his shirt and pull him up to his feet. With a shove in Midoriya's direction, Bakugou snarls, "I don't want to have to watch the two of you pine for any longer."
Eijirou freezes, acutely aware that Midoriya has turned to him, along with the rest of his classmates that are in the room. He gulps, clutching the letter as he nervously steps around the row of desks. Once he reaches Midoriya he takes in a deep breath, and shoves the card forward.
"Happy Valentines Day Midoriya." Eijirou waits with bated breath as Midoriya takes the letter from his hands and examines it with care. Uraraka is jumping in the background, and even Iida has a grin on his face. Eijirou hopes that they mean what he assumes they mean.
"Kirishima, I- I-" Midoriya looks up at him with wide eyes, and then sniffles.
"Midoriya!" Kirishima exclaims, wondering if he should keep his hands to himself or give Midoriya a hug. He can deal with his own heart later. "It's okay, I didn't exactly think you'd like me back. I can just take the letter back."
"No!" Midoriya leans back. "T-that's not it." Midoriya looks at the ground, cheeks turning a bright red. "T-this is super sweet and wonderful and I didn't really think you would ever give me something like this, and of course I like you you're kind and smart and amazing. I just don't know what to say." Midoriya stops himself, his blush extending to his ears. Kirishima thinks he could look at that all day, if his mind wasn't stuck repeating the words 'I like you.'
Midoriya turns to fish something out of his backpack. As he does, Uraraka gives him a thumbs up followed by a glare that says a shovel talk is definitely coming later.
"I- uh- here you go." Midoriya holds a delicately wrapped box in his hands, holding it out.
Kirishima stares at it for a moment, speechless. Midoriya backtracks. "I know it's not anything as sweet as your letter but I couldn't really find anything that I knew for sure you would like."
"Are you kidding?" Kirishima says, grabbing the box of chocolates. "I love chocolate!"
When Midoriya still looks unsure, Kirishima continues. "Seriously, it's great."
"That's good then." Midoriya smiles softly, and Kirishima swears he falls even further down from that smile alone.
"Hey- uh- would you like to maybe go out after school today?" Kirishima takes the risk, grinning as Midoriya's smile grows wider.
In the background, Mina, Sero, and Kaminari cheer, but all Kirishima can see is the way Midoriya's eyes shine as he nods yes.
