Kirishima had just started making his way over to the train station to go home from school. His head and eyes were lowered toward the ground as he walked on the concrete sidewalk in the pouring rain without an umbrella. I rushed out the school doors to catch up to him, splashing puddles in my path.

Splash.

Splash.

I was in such a hurry that I didn't bother grabbing my umbrella. In that moment, I didn't care about catching a cold from the rain, I just had to talk to my boyfriend. He had been acting gloomy today, which was making me feel concerned for him. There was definitely something that's bothering him.

"Kiri, wait up!" I call out to him. He stopped in his tracks at the sound of my voice and turned to face me, directly looking into my eyes with his droopy ones.

"What?" He asked duly. The sound of my voice may have caught his attention, but his expression still did not falter, remaining sorrowful.

"Well, it's just you've been acting all upset after today's fighting practice and you have me a bit worried. Do you want to talk about it?" I replied concernedly. I reached out my hands to gently hold his.

"I guess it was obvious," Kirishima sighs. He lowers his head and fidgets with my fingers, "I-- I mean-- Why do you like me? I'm just your typical, average, cheery guy, nothing special about me. I feel I can't do anything to stand out, unlike Bakugo and Todoroki with their flashy quirks. All I can do is just harden my body, which is so lame and weak. Sometimes, I feel that I don't deserve you. Compared to me, you're so flawless. I don't even know why you're dating someone like me." Raindrops dripped onto his face and slid down like tears.

"Kiri," I began, "I like you because you have a bright, kind heart, make me feel loved, and work hard to achieve your dreams. Like how even though you may not have been born with 'a flashy quirk', you work hard to expand the abilities of your quirk, to make it more beautiful. I may be flawless in your eyes, but in mine, you are flawless."

"How Am I flawless?" Kirishima questioned, looking back up into my eyes, "I just said that I'm your typical, average, cheery guy with a lame quirk."

"And I'm a forgetful, unorganized klutz." I say back, "'Flaws' are a part of what makes people flawless. The flaws that you see in yourself, I see as wonders of who you are."

"(Y/n)," Kirishima says, starting to brighten up, "Do you really mean all that?"

"Of course I do," I reassure him. I wrapped my arms around him to give him a hug, using one of my hands to rub his back to comfort him. He responded by hugging me back and we embraced in each other's presence in the cold pouring rain like a candle lit up in the dark.

"Thank you, (Y/n), I love you so much," Kirishima mumbles into my ear. I slightly pulled away, but still held him close.

"I love you too Kirishima," I reply with a smile on my face, causing Kirishima to smile.
