Hanging Out

Shota's POV

I woke up, having trouble as I wasn't really a morning person, as my alarm screamed at me. I slammed my hand down and turned it off, swinging my legs over the edge of my bed and standing. I slowly made my way to the bathroom, looking at my reflection in the mirror. "I look like shit... Nothing new I guess..." I said to my reflection. I turned on the shower and hopped in, feeling the warm water running over my skin. It helped wake me up a little, but I was still half asleep. I was always tired anyway. I hopped back out, quickly drying my body and hair. I brushed my hair, cursing silently at the knots in it. Yes, believe it or not, I actually do take care of my hair. I got into my school uniform and went down stairs, seeing breakfast on the table but my parents nowhere in sight. It wasn't unusual for them not to be here. They weren't here most of the time so I have gotten used to it. I sat down and ate my breakfast, checking the time on my phone afterwards. It was time for me to start walking to school. I got my shoes on, grabbed my bag, and went out the door. I had put my earbuds in and was about to turn on my playlist when I heard someone call my name, "Shootaa! What's up? Long time no see!" I turned to look over my shoulder and for a second I felt the exhaustion leave me for a quick second as I saw a familiar blonde walking in my direction. Hizashi Yamada, my closest friend and my... My crush. "Hizashi... Good to see you again..." I said, feeling my face become hot as it gained a pink tint to it. I was hoping Hizashi wouldn't notice but to my dismay, he did. "Shota? Are you feeling alright? Your face is a bit pink... Don't tell me you're going to end up having to miss our first day back to U.A." He said. I smiled at him, responding, "I'm fine, Hizashi. Even though I could use like 10 more years of sleep..." Hizashi smiled at me. "You couldn't just sleep for 10 years! That would be boring! Besides, we wouldn't get to hang out!" I gave him a smaller smile in return as I said, "I guess you're right. Well I'll just stay awake, only because it's you though..." I felt my face heat up more as my previous blush deepened.

Hizashi's POV

I looked at Shota's face as it's previous pink tint deepened into a shade of red. Is he blushing? If he is, he's cute when he does, I thought. We soon arrived at U.A.'s gates, sooner than I would've liked. I liked getting to spend time alone with Shota, he was special to me. We walked towards the doors slowly, meeted with two familiar faces before we could enter. "Toshinori! Nemuri! What's going on? It's been forever!" I said, my voice slightly louder as I partly used my quirk, causing some of the new first years to look in our direction. Toshinori smiled at Shota and I, responding with, "Hey guys! It's been too long! I've been good and I'm assuming Nemuri has been too. How have you guys been?" I looked at Shota, putting my hand on his shoulder as I responded, "I've been amazing! Shota here is his usual grumpy, tired self so I guess you could say he's good too!" Nemuri looked at her phone, looking up at all of us afterwards. "We're gonna be late if we don't hurry guys! We can talk more at lunch," She said. We all walked to our assigned classroom, sitting down as we walked in. The teacher walked in soon after and began his lesson. I didn't really pay attention, my focus instead being on Shota as I watched him take notes. I was surprised he wasn't asleep but I guess I shouldn't question it. Something about him made me feel different, feelings I don't feel with anyone else. The bell rang, shaking me from my thoughts and dismissing us for lunch. Shota, Toshinori, Nemuri and I walked to lunch together, talking more about what we did over the break we had before having to come back for our second year of U.A. We sat down at a table and changed the subject. "So, this being our second year, have any of you developed a love interest yet?" Nemuri asked, a slight smirk on her face. Toshinori said no but I looked across the table to see Shota's face covered in a bright red blush. So adorable, I thought. Nemuri smirked at Shota, saying, "Oooh, does little Shota have a love interest? Do tell!" Shota's blush deepened. "I... I don't know what your talking about, Nemuri..." He said. I giggled, causing them to all turn to me. "Well Shota may be denying it, but I won't! I do infact have a love interest!" I said, smiling. Nemuri leaned over across the table, her smirk turning into a creepy looking smile. "WHO!..." She said. I smirked, "Not telling," I responded. I excused myself for a moment and as I walked around a corner, I leaned on the wall and let out a long sigh. "I can't keep pushing my feelings away... That's it, I'm telling him after school today. I'll finally get this weight off my chest, even if he doesn't accept me..." I said to myself. I walked back to the table and walked back with my friends as the bell rang. May heart started beating faster and faster as the end of the day came closer and closer. The bell finally rang and I walked out with my friends. I said my goodbyes to Toshinori and Nemuri as they turned to leave, leaving Shota and me to walk alone. I pulled out my phone and texted my mom, asking if I could hang out with Shota today. She said yes, just asking to tell her if I planned to stay the night. I smiled, turning to Shota. "Hey Shota, wanna hang out at your house? It's been too long since we have," I said. Shota shrugged, "Sure, come on." We walked to his house and to his room. "Just as dark and gloomy as I remembered..." I said as I looked around at the dark room. We sat down on the bed and Shota turned on the TV. We watched it for a bit before I took a deep breath and turned to face him, "Shota?" Shota turned to me, "Yeah?" He asked. "I need to tell you something, I need to get it off my chest, even if it ruins our friendship..." I said. Shota looked worried, "What is it, Hizashi?" I remained silent for a moment longer before the words finally left my mouth. "Shota, when I met you last year, I didn't think that we'd ever become this close. I tried for so long to push away my feelings for the sake of our friendship but I can't anymore, I just need you to know... Shota, I love you... You are the love interest I was talking about during lunch today..." I said, looking down and expecting anything else except for what happened next. "Hizashi... I-I'm so happy to hear you say that... I feel the same way about you, that's why I always get so nervous when we hang out... I thought you wouldn't like me back but..." I hugged him before he could continue, feeling him hug me back. I pulled away to look into his eyes. In a moment of my brain completely just like shutting off, I leaned in, feeling my lips meet Shota's. He leaned into our kiss and we stayed like that for a few more seconds before we both pulled back. "Do you think I could spend the night with you tonight?" I asked. Shota smiled, "I wouldn't mind." I texted my mom and she simply replied, 'ok'. We watched movies for the rest of the afternoon, my arms around him. We laid down after one last movie and I felt him snuggle into me as he fell asleep. I smiled as I looked down at him, closing my eyes and falling asleep as well. Nemrui is gonna freak if she finds out. Eh, whatever, my dreams are finally coming true...

Finally, I have finished. This took way too long to write, as my house is in utter chaos at the moment, everyone yelling at each other and all that fun stuff... I have a problem, I need to tone down on my gayness... Well, bye.
