Surprise!

I bet this was unexpected, huh? I know it was, cause I was surprised! I went to start the Shigaraki story and realized I had this half written and never deleted it because I didn't want to rewrite it...

Needless to say it is here now!

This is going to be a two chapter thing, so expect the second chapter later this week.

Anywho.....

*LEMON*

_____________________

It was silent at the table as you sat across from your 'date', if you could even call it that. He had been complaining about the prices all night despite being the one surprising you with this restaurant. You had offered to just cook at your place and honestly, after tasting the food...it would have been a better idea. You glanced up at him as he started to shuffle around and sift through his pockets.

"Aww crap...I forgot my wallet."

You almost dropped your fork as you immediately went to massage your forehead. "Do you uhm...mind paying?" He asked with a pathetic tone as you shot him a look. Through the night he had ordered countless glasses of wine, appetizers, and the most expensive entrée on the menu. As much as you wanted to argue, it wasn't fair not to pay the restaurant because he was a dick.

"The bill is going to be like 800 dollars." You stated in disbelief, watching as he gained this look of arrogance that you absolutely loathed. "Well I don't have my wallet, I'll be happy to pay you back, but I left it at my place." He responded, watching as the waitress set the bill down. Sure enough, you were absolutely right as you handed her your card with reluctance and stared down your date.

Needless to say, there wouldn't be a second one.

Once she came back you both stood, your eyes rolling as he tried to act like some pristine gentleman in front of the other guests. You, on the other hand, were just cranky and hungry from the lack of food you had eaten at the restaurant. "Taxi!" He called out, straightening his suit as the car pulled over and you begrudgingly got in behind him.

He gave the old man driving the car his address before he took off, a cold silence looming in the vehicle as you checked your phone. There was a text from your father that read:

'Call me when you are home safe! Hope it went well!'

You sighed and massaged the bridge of your nose, hearing the man clear his throat from beside you. Looking up to him, you raised a brow. "Hm?" You asked, seeing his eyes trail over your body before landing on your face. "So...I was thinking, why don't you come up with me and we can...ya know, talk."

You gave him a look of disbelief, "We are going to your place so you can pay me back the 800 dollars for the food at the restaurant you ordered. I'm not that stupid and I certainly won't sleep with you." You crossed your arms and your legs, shuffling over to lean against the door as you heard him grumble to himself.

Once you arrived at what you presumed to be his home, you watched as he got out of the car, saying he would 'be right back'.

You sat in the cab and waited and waited and waited, soon you had had about enough. "Excuse me for just a moment." You said, scooching out of your seat as the older man gave you an understanding nod. You stomped up to the door and knocked on it only to receive no answer. "Hey asshole! You owe me 800 dollars!" You knew he wasn't coming out and you weren't about to get arrested and make the night worse.

"You know what? Fuck you too, I'm glad your perverted ass is locked in there." You muttered, flipping off the door as you walked back to the car and closed the door with a huff. "Jackass." The driver commented, enticing a laugh from you as he started to drive you home. "No kidding...how much will the ride be by the way?" You questioned, getting some cash out as you waited for an answer.

"Don't bother, miss. You seem like you've already spent enough money tonight."

"Are you sure? It really doesn't make a difference at this point." You asked as he let out a small chuckle and looked at you from the rearview mirror. "I'm positive. A real gentleman would never force a lady to pay for the whole bill...half maybe, but not the whole thing."

"Well, not all guys are gentlemen anymore." You replied, leaning your head back and taking in a breath as you settled in for the drive home. It felt shorter than usual, maybe because you were anticipating it so much. Thanking the driver once more, you went into your home and closed the door to immediately kick off your heels and go into the kitchen.

"God knows I didn't get enough to eat..." You grumbled, pulling out some fish from your fridge to make Salmon en Papillote. Cutting out a large oval of parchment paper before folding it neatly in half. You quickly chopped up some zucchini into thin slices before laying them down on the bottom before preparing the salmon and laying it on top. After putting on some dill, lemon slices, a bit of seasoning and then some olive oil, you folded it up and put it in the oven to bake.

"Alright, about 12 minutes and I will come back...in the meantime." You said, pulling out your phone as you started to clean off the counters. It rang for a moment until your fathers voice  came up, "How'd it go?"

"Uugghhhhhh!" You groaned in an exaggerated tone, hearing him chuckle from the other side. "Oh really? That bad hm?" "Yeah. I'm minus 800 dollars bad." You scrubbed off the cutting board as you heard his demeanor change into protective dad mode, "800?! You have to be shitting me! What the hell happened?"

"Well, he complained the whole time about the prices, the food was shitty, and conveniently he 'forgot' his wallet...after I paid and we left to go get it, he locked himself inside his house."

"Oh that wouldn't fly with me! I would've kicked down his door!" You giggled at your fathers riled up attitude, shaking your head a bit as you cleaned off your knife. "I didn't want to get arrested Dad...would have made the night worse."

"I would have bailed you out if you told me you broke in to get your money back! Fuck that guy!" He said dismissively. You could only imagine him sitting in his chair and waving his arm in the air with disapproval. "Yeah, fuck that guy."

"Don't stress about it hun, you'll find some guy who makes your heart triple in pace! That's how you know he's the one you love!"

You smiled, "Like you do for mom?" You heard the phone move as his voice echoed out a bit quieter. "Hey honey! Do I make your heart triple in pace?" Your mom's voice was much quieter, but you could still hear her banter clear as day. "Eh, maybe double."

"She said it quadrupled!" Your father replied to you, listening to your laugh at their interactions. "Sure she did dad...anyway, I'm making dinner so I can actually eat for free before I go to bed. So I'll talk to you later."

"Alright (Y/n), I love ya. Sleep well."

"You too dad. Tell mom I love you both."

"I will. Goodnight." He finished. "Goodnight." You said, pressing the 'end call' button as you recognized the silence of your house. Looking around, you took in the quiet scenery, everything you had grown so accustomed to over the years as you worked your way up. It was quaint, small, but cozy just like you enjoyed it. Drying your hands on a towel you sat on one of the counters and sighed.

Tomorrow was just another day.

________________

You speedily chopped up the vegetables and tossed them into the soup, listening to the chatter of customers outside as more and more orders came in. It was usually busy, especially at lunch time which it just so happened to be. Your restaurant was small, but you were currently saving up to buy a bigger place you had your eyes on for some time. You adored your team of cooks and usually they were composed, but today was a rush of people like you had never seen.

It had been getting worse...well, better for you because they loved the food, but worse in the fact that it was jam packed almost every day. You had grown accustomed to handling the stress, always having a level head as you led the kitchen through it's busiest days. The shatter of a plate made your head perk up, you looked over and saw that one of the plates the bus boy was cleaning had fallen off the counter.

He was new, as such, the horrified look plastered across his face was understood as he snapped his eyes to you. "I-I'm sorry! I accidentally hit it with my elbow, I swear I didn't know it was there!" He rambled, fearing for his life as you walked to him. But you put a hand on his shoulder and gave him a small smile, "Hey, don't stress. I know it's busy and there is a lot going on. I want you to go get the broom, swept this up carefully and then continue washing. You're doing great."

He quickly nodded and rushed to the supply closet, your eyes darting around the hectic kitchen as orders were pushed through. "(Y/n)!" One of the servers called, attracting your attention from the doorway. "All Might is here to see you!" You headed towards the door, "I'll be right back!" You called out, heading into the bustling dining area with a line that went out the door.

The server led you to a small table outside where Toshinori was sitting and peacefully eating his Tempura. "Toshinori, how can I help you?" You asked, taking the seat across from him as his blue eyes flicked up to you. "You're still using your customer service voice." He chuckled, watching as you quickly cleared your throat and relaxed. "Sorry, what's up?"

"I know you're busy, so first thank you for coming out here. Second, I have a job for you..." He handed you a slip of paper, your eyes being drawn to the details as it outlined a catering event. "...I think you would be perfect for it. The pay is extremely good for everyone and I happen to know the man myself." You raised a brow at his words, reading over the paper once more. "So it's a personal favor?"

"You could say that." He smiled, watching as you set it down and quickly sent him a look. "This is for a pro-hero event isn't it?" The look in his eyes told you everything as you groaned. "Toshinori, you know I don't do events like that. I've had too many of those assholes love my food, only to judge it when they find out I'm quirkless." Toshinori reached over to stop you as you stood, "(Y/n) this guy isn't like that. His name is Taishiro Toyomitsu, he is one of my friends and it's his birthday. He is a super big food fanatic and would be the last person to care about you being quirkless."

Taishiro? God that name sounds familiar.

You thought, chewing on the inside of your cheek and sighing as you picked up the paper. "Fine. But no one knows I am the head chef, got it?" Toshinori quickly stood up and gave your hand a firm shake, "Deal." Giving him a small smile, you started to head back inside. "See you in a week, Toshinori."

_________________

You were at the venue and needless to say, all your dishes were a smash hit. Refills were flying out the doors and onto the buffet tables as people continued coming back for seconds. It was expected of course, but you didn't expect the guest list to easily list over 200 people.

"I need another refill of the Yakitori!" You called out, getting a few 'Yes chef!'s in reply. Focusing your attention on the Soba as you separated it into two sections, one with cold soup and one with hot soup. The smell in the air was delicious, you could taste all the arrangements of the gorgeous meals on your tongue as you prepared the large platters and set them out to be taken.

A server walked in and took both servings out the double doors, the noise from outside flooding in before fading once they shut. "Yakitori!" One of your colleagues called out, your eyes darting over to see the large tray of it sitting out with no one getting it. "Where the hell is the wait staff!? It's getting cold!" You shouted, getting no response quick enough before you groaned and put your hat and apron to the side.

"I'm taking it out!" You notified, getting a nod from a few of them as you grabbed the tray and tried to make your way in and out as quickly as possible. As you stepped out, you finally got a good look of what the party-goers were actually enjoying.

The party was in a mostly outdoor venue, but it seemed very...expensive. It wasn't tacky and covered in gold by any means, but the sea of tables and people dressed in nice clothes was very indicative of the type of guests you were serving. The sunset was beautiful as you looked out over the crowd to see the beautiful grassy hills. It was so breathtaking, you almost missed when you set the platter down on the table. Fumbling a bit, you noticed and looked up at a rather tall man who appeared in front of you. "Ah, fresh from the kitchen!"

You looked at his face as he took three skewers and then met your eyes, his cheeks flushing pink as he stared at you. "O-Oh! Pardon my reach, I am just so excited to eat this food. It is very delicious!" He stumbled out. "Oh uhm, thaaaaa-....I'll send the chef your compliments." You recovered from your slip up, starting to get lost in his golden eyes. "Thank you! I feel like I should also say you look delici-I MEAN PRetty....hah-...pretty."

You let out a small chuckle, feeling your own face warm as you stared up at the man who was rivaling Toshinori at easily 7'3". His light blond hair gently swept across his forehead, the sloppy spikes waving as a breath of wind flew past. "Thank you-"

"Chef!" The Potager called, coming out of the kitchen with a small bowl in his hand. "Yeeeeeeeeee---.......chef? Chef who, what chef?" You started to panic, seeing the tall man's yellow eyes curiously flick down to you as the Potager replied. "Uhm, you? I need you to try this." He said, coming over to you and putting some of the Butajiru on the renge and leading it to your mouth.

You quickly tasted it, furrowing your brows for a moment before getting a lightbulb. "More Miso. Only a pinch though or else it will overpower it." He quickly nodded, thanking you as he ran back into the kitchen. "So, I guess the compliments go to you then?" The tall man said, attracting your attention as you whipped your head back around. "Yeah...but it isn't just me in there! It's like a team thing." You assured.

He gave a small smile and a nod, moving around you to step out of other people's way as they made their way through the line. "My name is Taishiro Toyomitsu also known as FatGum." He said, holding the plate in one hand as he gently took yours and shook it. "(Y/n) (L/n)...wait, you're the birthday boy right?" You asked, watching his hand rub the back of his neck as he looked away nervously. "I guess you could say that."

Oh. My. God. You were talking to a pro hero. Okay, okay, don't panic, just stay calm....oh god he is really cute! Also...vaguely familiar....

"Well, since we are listing our roles, I'm the head chef." You sighed out, seeing his eyes light up at your words. "Ah! Thank you so much for catering tonight! It means a lot that you would do this on such short notice!" He beamed, resting a warm hand on your shoulder before flushing red and pulling away in embarrassment. "S-Sorry!!"

"It's alright...I should probably get back into the kitchen though. You know, head chef things." You shrugged playfully. Taishiros mind was going a million miles an hour the longer he looked at you, you were gorgeous to him. Even though around him were women dressed from head to toe in fancy dresses, your black slacks and white double buttoned coat completely did him in.

"Of course! My apologies for distracting you...my compliments again on the amazing food." He watched as you gave him a small smile before going back to the kitchen, his eyes followed you just long enough to hear your barking orders as you walked back in: "Alright you lazy shits! We have a lot of dessert to make so hurry the fuck up with it!"

Taishiro chuckled to himself and cleared his throat before making his way through the grass back over to his table. As he saw the familiar blond hair from the distance, Taishiro sped up his pace and quickly put his food down before sitting in his seat next to Toshinori once again.

"You hired the cooks right? Why didn't you tell me about the head chef?!" He asked, looking at Toshinori's blue eyes close and open again in a quick blink. Once he processed the question he sighed, "I didn't think that her being quirkless would be an iss-"

"Quirkless? I'm not talking about that!..." Taishiro scooted his chair as close as he could before his knees bumped the other man's chair. "...She's super cute!" He whisper yelled, watching the look of shock on his friend's face turn into one of happiness. "Oh! You met her, isn't she lovely!"

"Uhm, yes! That's what I just said! She is super pretty and she can cook!" Taishiro said, glancing back at the kitchen doors quickly before turning to see the smug grin on Toshinoris face. "You have a crush on her because she is pretty and can cook?"

"Obviously! I mean, I know that is only the first impression but god she was just gorgeous! I have only seen a girl like her once in my life." Taishiro assured, getting a look from the blond as he chuckled to himself and took a bite of his food. Taishiro downed one of the Yakitori skewers, chewing them like a forlorn puppy as he thought of you.

Now that I think about it...she looks familiar.

"They are finishing up the desserts and then they are done for the night...you could invite the staff to join the party. I mean, they earned it right?" Toshinori suggested, seeing his friend's eyes widen at the thought as a large grin came to his face. "That's perfect! Thanks for the idea!" Taishiro said, downing the other two skewers before slapping the other male on the back rather harshly as he stood to entertain guests and himself until the desserts came.

____________________

"Congratulations guys! We successfully catered a Pro-hero party!" You chirped, earning cheers and whistles from everyone else as they all wiped their foreheads and hands of sweat. "Now we have to clean!" You said again, this time earning groans until you smacked one of them with your towel.

They all chuckled and started cleaning, each of them attending to their stations as you deep cleaned the machines, grill, and any other emptied platters brought inside by the waitstaff. As you all cleaned, the clearing of a throat caught your attention, your eyes locking on the host of the event.

"Uhm, sorry to interrupt..." Taishiro stated as he looked around until his eyes landed on you. A small smile formed on his face before remembering why he was here, "...Oh! I wanted to thank you all for the brilliant work you have done tonight, and I mean seriously brilliant work. So, I will be giving a 600 dollar tip to each of you for starters..."

Your eyes all went wide. Not only did he say it so casually, but that was a lot of money for a tip...especially since this job already paid pretty well. "...not only that, but I would like to invite you to join the rest of the event tonight. We have plenty of desserts and food leftover and a few empty tables if you would like to join." Once he finished, just like that, everyone's eyes were on you. "What?" You questioned, looking at all of them.

"Well, the kitchen isn't completely done yet." One of them said, knowing how you loved a spotless kitchen before and after service. They had all worked so hard today that you felt like a break would be a good reward for all of them. "It's fine. I can finish it up, there isn't that much left." You assured, seeing the smiles grow on their faces as they turned to you. "Thank you chef!" They all said in unison, neatly folding their hats and aprons and setting them on the counter to get later before exiting the warm kitchen.

"I can stay and help if you would like."

Your eyes moved over to Taishiro once again, heart quickening as you took in his rather handsome appearance in his suit. "You don't have to, it really isn't that much, mostly dishes." You responded, turning back to the sink as his coat was tossed down on your left before he stood on your right. Taishiro rolled up his sleeves to his elbows and smiled down at you sweetly, "You wash, I'll dry. How 'bout that?"

You grinned back at him, "I think that might work."

And it did.

You would wash the plates and utensils before passing them to Tai who would dry them off with a towel and then set them off to the side to dry. Because his wingspan was so large, he didn't have to move much at all to reach places he needed to.

"Is the height inconvenient? I mean, when you're FatGum you are like 8 feet tall right? I can't imagine." You said, scrubbing another plate as he chuckled joyfully. "It is a family trait. Parents are both very tall as well, got used to ducking or hitting my head."

"Yeah, you were in the police academy right?" You questioned, accidentally swinging a knife at him and making him jump back a bit. You didn't notice however as you kept cleaning it once he returned to your side. "Yes, I was a while ago...how did you know that?"

Your cheeks turned pink as you handed him the knife, quickly grabbing the next platter and starting to scrub. "Well, one of my brothers is in the police force...he actually graduated from the academy with you. Kiiken (L/n)." You responded, seeing his eyes light up in remembrance. "I know him! We were always paired up for training together, he was my best buddy in that place!...wait, he is your brother?!..." Everything caught up with him as he looked at you, seeing the familiaries in some aspects of your face.

"...ah! That's where I heard your last name from!" 

No way! Not only were you super cute, a great chef, but also his old best friend's little sister?!

"Yeah, he is two years older than you right? If he is 31 now...he would have been 24 then. That means you are 29 so you were 22, I am 27 so I would have been 19." You did the math in your head and looked at him, seeing his eyes dart over your face quickly before he went silent and turned back to his work.

You decided to speak again, a small smile tugging at the corner of your lips. "We only really talked when my brother was around and I only saw you guys when I made you food." It was quiet for a moment before he spoke up, "Yeah, but it was the best food I've ever had! Well, besides tonight." He let out a small breath of a chuckle at his correction, trying to remember those small moments that were seemingly tucked away.

Truth be told, Taishiro knew more than enough about you and when he did see you, he always made sure to be around you. When you would cook meals he would hang out in the kitchen and when you would talk with your brother he always wanted to be next to you.

Don't even get him started on if you talked to him, he would talk about the most random shit just to get you to stay. But when you smiled and laughed it made him pass out nearly every time.

"I barely recognized you, you've changed so much." You said, quickly looking him over. His facial features were more defined, body more built, but his smile and kind eyes had stayed the same through all the years. "So have you...uh, how is your brother by the way?" Taishiro asked, glancing over your figure as well before changing the subject.

While he was surprisingly close with your brother, he never really knew much about your family despite them being best friends. It was really only you, your dad, your mom, and his twin that he talked about because the rest of the family was going through 'an issue' where no one talked to each other. Taishiro never questioned it though as his own family wasn't something he mentioned much.

But as you spoke about your brother, Taishiro had zoned out completely as a familiar conversation resurfaced in his head:

"You've got something bouncing around in there. You were off your game in training today...whats up?" Kiiken asked, poking at his best friend as they ate their specially-made bentos in the mess hall. Taishiro sighed and leaned in a bit, "I don't want you to flip out but....I think your sister is really pretty and talented."

Kiiken stopped for a moment, scaring the blond before a bright smile grew on his face. He smacked his arm rather harshly and laughed, "I knew it! You totally like my little sister!" Taishiro frantically shushed him, waving his hands urgently as he furrowed his brows. "What do you mean you 'knew it'? And has she said anything to you?"

"Slow your roll, buddy. First off, it is best friend and brotherly intuition. Second, she never talks about that stuff to anyone but my dad...and he won't say shit." Kiiken watched his friend's shoulders slump at his words, "Oh...I guess that's okay. I mean, it is probably just a small crush that will go away. I mean, I plan to do hero training soon and she is going off to school right? So it's nothing."

Though Taishiro never saw it as he was back to being fully absorbed in his food, your brother signed and sent him a look. "Yeah...probably."

But it hadn't gone away, it had just grown stronger. Somehow the lack of interaction between you both only fueled his fire, especially as you were shoulder to...elbow, with him.

He got sucked further into his daydreams, remembering the one day when it hit him like a truck....not only did he have a crush on you, he loved you.

Tai stood and talked with a few of his fellow officers who were all winding down from the day. The sun was starting to set, indicating the ending of their shifts in only a few moments time.

What they weren't expecting however, was to have men quickly round the corner and plow right into Taishiros back. The blond stumbled forward a bit, turning and meeting their gaze with a stare that struck fear in their eyes.

Before they could even run, his hands latched onto their shoulders and yanked them back. "Gentlemen! Where are you going in such a rush?" He questioned with glee that made him seem oddly intimidating. "W-We...uhh..." One of them stumbled, being face to face with the giant of a human.

That was when Tai noticed a few people jogging to the other side of the building, indicating to him that these men were definitely involved in something. "You are being detained until further notice." Tai said, handing them off to a few of his colleagues before going to investigate the supposed crime scene.

He rounded the corner seeing the large moving truck as well as the small crowd of people gathered around. "Excuse me." He said, gently making his way through only to be met with a surprise. You were kneeling on the ground in a mess of food that had spilled out of three large boxes that were being moved inside the building.

"(Y/n)?" He asked, sparking your attention as your watery eyes looked up to him. "120 bento boxes..." You whimpered, looking back down to the mess. "...120 bento boxes ruined. I had to have these for tonight. I'm catering for this homeless shelter and I-..." You sniffed back your tears, looking up to the giants as he walked over and kneeled beside you.

"Did those men do this?"

"If by those men you mean those assholes who tried to harass me then yes."

Tai muttered something into the walkie on his shoulder, softly dismissing the crowd as the officers rounded the corner with the two suspects. "Is that them?" He asked, seeing the scowl on your face as you gave a small nod. Tai did a small motion, the men being whisked away into the cop cars, leaving you and Tai both kneeling on the ground.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" He asked, seeing how visibly stricken you were. The sight made his heart wrench, it wasn't very often that you were upset, but for such an important event he imagined the effort you put in was extreme considering you made it all yourself.

"Not unless you know how to cook." You joked helplessly. "I can cook fairly well, all things considered. If you need help.I would be happy to do so!" He offered your eyes wide in surprise as your cheeks flushed over. "Are you sure?" You muttered.

"Of course! I'll always help out an old..." He paused, unsure really of what to call you. Were you acquaintances? Friends? No, no...those all sounded too bland for how he felt for you. Even though you didn't have much history, the shine in your eyes of anticipation made his knees weak. "...pal."

Taishiro immediatly scolded himself at his choice of a descriptor, watching the visible confusion rise on your face before you chuckled. "Pal? Never been called that before. Are you secretly in love with me or something?" You joked.

Yes.

Tai thought, immediately processing what he just admitted to himself and feeling the wind get knocked out of him. "Tai?" You said, resting your hand on his arm and unknowingly making it worse. "Are you okay?"

"YEs! Fine...so very fine that I would even say I'm great ahahaha!"

Your brows furrowed, a small smile tugging at your lips due to his awkwardness. "Okay, if you say so." Tai stood, immediately lending you his hand and helping you stand. "We need to finish unloading those boxes and then go quickly to make the replacements." You instructed, watching his hair bob up and down as he nodded. "Yes mam!"

Taishiro relished in your smile, watching you walk back into the truck as his heart started to race.

He loved you.

"Taishiro?" You questioned, snapping him out of his haze as you handed him the final ladle. "Oh, sorry. Just zoned out for a second....actually, I have a question." He said, turning to you as he dried off the final spoon and turned to see you taking off the hat and apron. "And the question is?"

"How did you end up becoming a chef?" He asked, seeing you fold the fabric neatly and set it down before walking back toward him. "Well, I went to college on a random ass degree but realized I loved cooking when I started making breakfast, lunch, and dinners for everyone in my dorm. They would get the ingredients and I would cook...I applied for a transfer application to the top culinary school in Japan and got accepted...so, here I am!" You gave a small cheer, looking up at him with a smile.

"That's amazing! I have always loved your cooking and I mean...you are clearly very special."

You felt the room become warm the longer you stared at him, both of your chests tight as air locked inside your lungs. You were the first to break the tensions by clapping your hands, "So! We are all done in here...I think the birthday boy should go back out with his guests..." Taishiro grabbed his coat and watched as you washed your hands. "...I'm afraid I'm not very extravagant." You gestured to your black slacks and white top. 

"Nonsense, I think you look beautiful." He said, leading you from the kitchen to walk outside. You suddenly became very nervous about your clothes compared to everyone else's, "Don't worry. They are all pleasant." Tai assured as he walked you over to the food line that was still full of people. You quietly got your plate, silently judging your own dishes as you made your way past them.

"You know, my quirk isn't mind reading, but I think you are judging yourself too harshly." He chimed in, interrupting your thoughts as he led you through the crowd. "I wasn't-ug...
Fine, you caught me. I just get so worried I missed something and it isn't right you know? Food is one of those things that has to be right or else it tastes like trash." Your words received a nod from the taller man, his hand resting on your upper back as he maneuvered both of you around. "I get that. I just don't think you should be so hard on yourself."

"Yeah, I-" You stopped recognizing the blond hair as you got closer and closer to the table. "Toshinori?" You said, attracting his attention as he turned in his seat and smiled when he saw you. "Oh, I see that Taishiro did convince you to come out and join us." Tilting your head a bit, you sat down with your food at the table. "This was planned?" You asked as Tai made a motion from behind you telling Toshinori to cut it out.

Unfortunately, Toshinori didn't see it and gave you a small nod. "He thinks you're very beautiful, I'm sure he'd want to get to know you better." Looking back to Tai, he quickly straightened up as a pink dust coasted his cheeks. "I'd like that." You said, seeing his eyes light up before he quickly pulled out your chair for you. "G-good! I mean, great! I think right now Toshinori was actually supposed to meet Endeavor at the bar."

"I was-"

"Yes you were." Taishiro sent him a pleading look, seeing it finally click as Toshinori excused himself. Tai let out a small breath and took a seat beside you, watching you eat your own food.
"It's a very nice party." You started, suddenly becoming nervous as you recognized the silence between you both. "Thanks..." He said, looking around a bit before leaning closer to you."...so, how did you become interested in cooking?"

You swallowed your bite of food and looked at him, "My dad actually. He has always loved it, my whole family has, but he taught my mom and my brothers. I learned to love it...How about you? If I remember correctly you enjoy it as well." You picked up another bite, watching as he responded. "Yes. Growing up I always had home cooked meals and I wanted to be a chef, but then I went to the police academy and then became a hero."

You chuckled before letting out a small sigh, "God that sounds a lot cooler than being a chef." Tai raised a brow as he scooted his chair closer to you. "Are, uhm...are you self conscious about being quirkless?" He hoped his question didn't come off as demeaning, but he got the sense that especially around so many heros that you felt a bit out of place. "I mean, I guess so. It doesn't stop me from doing anything but I couldn't help but wonder, 'what if'. If I had a quirk, would I still be cooking or doing something more...useful?" You shrugged and took another bite.

"You say that like being a chef is easy!" Taishiro exclaimed, letting his eyes dart over your face as you sat back in your chair. "It kind of is...-" "But it isn't! You are just so used to it that the whole thing is out of proportion. There are thousands of people who try to be chefs but fail...but look at you, I mean seriously. You don't have a quirk, yet managed to become a famous head chef!" He really couldn't believe what he was hearing, this amazing girl was putting herself down?

"I wouldn't say famous..." You muttered, feeling his hand rest on your shoulder. Looking back to his yellow eyes, a small breath left you at how determined he looked. "I would! Who cares if your face is on billboards and TV? You are famous to the people you serve, Toshinori told me there is a line out your door every single day!" His enthusiasm made you understand why he was so good at doing what he did. No matter what you said, he could find the positive in the situation.

There was one thing you needed to clarify though, "Well yeah, but it isn't just me, it's my whole team who makes that happen. I couldn't run a kitchen by myself." You gestured over to your team who were chatting and dancing. "And that's another thing!" Tai added, moving his hand down your arm to lightly hold your own. "You recognize the work of the people you work with. I have met many 'famous' chefs who have this entitled attitude and don't recognize the work of anyone but themselves. I think it's admirable of you."

Once he stopped he seemed to recognize his actions and turned red, but still didn't move his hand. You kept yours in place as well as you maintained his gaze. Suddenly, the buzzing of your phone threw you off guard until you realized it was your father calling. "Sorry, I need to take this." You pulled your hand away from his, answering the phone as you plugged your other ear.

Taishiro watched you converse, seeing the small smile that lined your features through every part of the conversation. Your laugh shot through his heart like an arrow, his mind and soul quickly reverting back to what had been missing.

You.

His crush was coming back even stronger than before and there was nothing he could do to stop it. Tai watched as you hung up the phone and turned back to him, "I should get home now. It's getting late and I have work tomorrow." He nodded, standing with you before blurting out his next words. "I could-uhm! Walk you home...or make sure you get there safely."

Your cheeks turned pink as you looked at him, "But your party-" "Will be fine without me. People are leaving now anyway." With a bit of reluctance, you agreed and watched as he led you out of the party and down to the street to get a taxi. Once he pulled one over, you both got in the car but decided to ditch it half way through because traffic sucked.

So here you were, walking along the street with a famous pro hero in a fancy suit as you were in the most unflattering outfit ever. "Are you seeing anyone?" He suddenly asked, cursing himself at how direct the question was. "No...you?"

"No."

You gave a small nod before continuing the conversation, "How would you describe yourself when it came to relationships?" You asked, seeing his eyes flick down to you as a sweet smile came over his features. "A hopeless romantic..." He paused and looked straight ahead, clearing his throat before he asked his next question. "...Do you believe in love at first sight?"

You shrugged, "I don't really know. I've had too many things go wrong for me to fall in love at one look, ya know?" He nodded, pressing his hands into his pockets. "I believe in it." You gave a small smile to him as you looked straight ahead, completely missing the adoring gaze he was giving you. "That's sweet. Any girl would be lucky to have you." You said, slightly brushing your shoulder against his arm.

Oh god he is so handsome....has he always been this cute? I mean, he has always been sweet but goddamn is he something else!

Before he could respond, you stopped  in your tracks and stared at the steps to your small apartment. "Well, we're here." You said, leading him up the steps until you got to your door. It was tense between the both of you as you pulled out your key and unlocked the door, opening it before turning to him.

"It was good to see you...again, I guess?" You both let out a small laugh, your eyes communicating a thousand words as you stood in silence. "Uhm...well, goodnight (Y/n)." Taishiro started, unsure of what to do from here. "Goodnight Tai." You whispered, both of you exchanging small smiles as you closed the door.

You stood there for a moment, looking at the door and feeling an unidentified wave of emotion rush through you. Reaching for the door handle, you stopped and slapped yourself on the face as you started to walk away. However, you only made it to your bedroom before you stopped and groaned, quickly shuffling back over to the front door.

You swung back open your door only to be met by Taishiro himself. His hands were shoved deeply into his pockets as a rose blush tinted both of your cheeks, "Oh, Tai...hi.". "You're not seeing anyone right?" He quickly chimed, chest heaving the longer you both stood in silence. Your body felt warm, an intense heat washing over you as you answered. "No. You?"

"No..." Tai responded almost in a whisper. It went silent again, your eyes lingering on each other as you gripped onto the door. "...Would you-uhm...like to accompany me on a date next weekend?" He stumbled out, nervously shoving his hands deep into his pockets as he watched your expression change. "I'd like that." You responded softly, leaning on the door a bit and stumbling when it swung further open.

You caught yourself as a fiery blush rushed over your cheeks. Tai sent you a small smile, "Then I will see you on Friday, 7:00 sharp." You nodded, thanking him once more for the escort home before closing the door gently behind you. With your heart still pounding in it's cage, you squeaked out a small and giddy noise as only one thought was on your mind.

Him.

You picked up your phone and paced around your room as you dialed the phone number of your brother.

"Hello?"

"KIIKEN!!" You screamed, hearing his soft laughter at your sudden outburst. "Whats up? Clearly something good, spill the gossip!" You chuckled, "You'll never guess who I ran into today!" You heard him hum for a moment in throught, "All Might?"

"Well him too, but no!"

"Wait a minute!" Your brother paused, "You met All Might today?!" You rolled your eyes at how off track he was getting. "Yeah, I see him regularly as a customer dork."

"Oh yeah...anyway, continue."

"Taishiro!"

"Wait, my old friend Taishiro?! How was he?"

"Oh he was ammmaazziinngggg." You swooned, letting out a small giggle when your brother seemed to get the hint. "Ah, my little sister have a crush on him finally? I mean it makes sense considering he has had one on you for years but-"

"Wait what?" You questioned freezing in your place as you heard your brother curse himself under his breath. "Yeah...uhm, please don't tell him I said that....wait, what is it honey?! You need some help? LOOKS LIKE I HAVE TO GO-BYE!"

"KIIKEN!" You screeched, listening as he hung up the line. You stared at your phone screen in disbelief, "Kiiken you dumbass, you can't use your wife as an excuse for everything just cause she's pregnant!" You grumbled, tossing your phone to the side.

The feelings of annoyance toward your brother were quickly replaced by a flutter in your chest. For once you were overjoyed to have someone like Taishiro that you knew cared about you and all that you did.

Plopping to a ball on the couch, you cuddled up to yourself in a ball and smiled, excited for tommorow.
____________________

You felt like crying. Flipping the table even sounded like a great option as you glared at the empty spot across from you. Taishiro never showed. You had been waiting for an hour and much like you expected, he never came. You never received a text or a call, just pitied looks from the other customers and wait staff as they gave you a free dessert.

"Your meal is on the house." The waitress said with a sad smile before walking away. You didn't even touch the dessert, that was how sick this whole scenario made you. Pushing it away, you stood up and threw down a tip before grabbing your coat and marching out the doors with tears lining your eyes. It felt like some sick joke where you were just tacked on to a pro-heros get-fucked list.

"I should have fucking known. You idiot." You muttered to yourself, slinging your coat on as you walked down the street. You should have taken a taxi considering the light rain that started to drizzle, but part of you just felt like suffering in the cold for a bit as the storm grew bigger. It felt like nature knew your pain as thunder rumbled through the sky, lightning cracking down in the distance.

"God I fucking hate heels!" You barked as you quickly undid the small straps and slipped them off, chucking one at a nearby wall. Your wet hair stuck to your face as you took a breath and walked back over to fetch your shoe. "Don't let that asshole get to you (Y/n)."

Starting to walk once more, you headed all the way back to your apartment in the late hours of the night. Despite the heros on the street, it was still nerve-wracking when you saw a car drive a bit too slow, or people coming near you. Nevertheless, you made it back safely and immediately went to dry off.

Every ounce of joy and eagerness you had felt was flushed down a hole. What were you expecting from him? Even though he knew your brother, that doesn't mean he had any obligation to be nice to you.

Huh. There's an idea...

You pondered, wondering how much bail would be if your brother kicked in his stupidly-perfect white teeth. As you thought, you changed your clothes and dried your hair, cursing to yourself as you hated having wasted your time on that prick. Feeling your stomach churn, you decided to make your own meal for one.

Walking into the kitchen with some sweats and a baggy sweater, you sifted through the fridge until you thought of a meal that always made you feel better...lasagna. You grabbed the ingredients and turned on the oven, letting it preheat as you started to prepare the meal. While you boiled the noodles, you made the meat sauce and ricotta cheese mix to lay out in the pan. Layer by layer, you rested meat sauce, noodles, cheese mixture, and repeat. It was a surprisingly simple meal, but one you loved nonetheless.

As the oven went off, you grabbed the dish to set it inside until a knock on your door made you stop. Your eyes flicked over to the door as another knock was heard. Wiping off your hands, you walked over and unlocked it before swinging it open. As soon as you saw the mountain of a man in his hero uniform in front of you, you slammed the door shut and started to walk back to your kitchen. "Asshole." You muttered, listening as the knock was heard once again.

"(Y/n)? Please open the door. I would like the chance to apologize to you for missing our date...I got stuck in the office teaching my trainees how to fill out paperwork."

Taking a small breath through your nose, you stared at the door debating options in your head. With an internal groan, you walked back open and swung open the door without a word before turning to head back to the food. You heard his head smack off the door frame and had to suck back your laugh as he made a small noise.

Once he closed the door, the tall man made his way over to you, rubbing his forehead as he watched you slide the lasagna into the oven. "That smells amazing." He drooled as you shut the oven and spun around while crossing your arms, he shook off his hunger, "...right." He breathed.

As his golden eyes jumped over your scrunched expression, he started to wring his hands as he stepped toward you. "I'm sorry..." He muttered, stopping a few feet away so you didn't feel trapped. "...I should have found a time to call, actually I should have remembered I was busy today and rescheduled so this didn't happen."

Taishiro paused and sucked in a breath, gently lowering his head, "If there is anything I can do to make it up to you please let me know. You aren't obligated to accept my apology, but know I am truly sorry...how much was the dinner? I can pay you back!" He said, reaching for his wallet and shuffling through it. His motions stopped when your small hand rested on his.

"You don't need to pay me back, they gave it to me for free."

You watched the look on his face turn sorrowful as he realized how embarrassing that must have been. "I'm sorry." Was all he could say, watching your eyes dart over his face as you debated your next words. "It's okay, I forgive you. I get you're a hero and you are super busy, so I can't really hold it against you-"

"You can!" He stated, sending you a determined look that took you by surprise. "Just because of my profession does not give me an excuse to mistreat a lady! I want to make it up to you (Y/n), you deserve the best!" Taishiros reassurance was oddly comforting as you tried your best to not faint from how close he was to you.

"Uhm...then you can take me on another date I guess?" You stammered, feeling the heat rise up your neck. Tai seemed to notice your discomfort as he pulled back with a worried glance that quickly shifted into a smile. You couldn't help but giggle as his hair bounced when he nodded his head. "Yes! I would love to take you on another date! I will take you on a date twice a week for this whole month so you'll forgive me!"

Though you couldn't help but chuckle at his overzealous attitude, it was sweet that he was willing to go above and beyond to prove himself. "Yeah, that sounds amazing." You agreed, watching the goofy grin that only grew wider with your response. He was like a kid in a candy store, energetic and excited for every possibility. As the smell of the lasagna filled both of your noses, Taishiro rubbed the back of his head meekly. "Ah, I better get going so you can eat. Apologizes for the intrusion."

Before he had a chance to turn, you chuckled and grabbed his sleeve, "You think I can eat a whole lasagna by myself?" You smirked, watching his eyes widen a bit. "The plates are in that cabinet." You gestured, watching Tai grab the plates and find the silverware as you pulled the dish from the oven.

"It looks delicious!~" He chirped, watching as you grabbed a spatula and used it to cut it open. "I've had some practice." You joked, freezing in place when his lips pressed lightly on your cheek. "Thank you for the meal." He said, realizing your flustered expression after his kind remark. "You are cute when you are embarrassed. Is it because I kissed you? I couldn't help myself when you look this pretty."

"I'm just-I don't-....thank you." You whispered, glancing over to meet his eyes as he gave you a soft smile with his beautifully white teeth (that you didn't want to kick in anymore). "Of course!" He said, happily serving you both some lasagna before heading into the dining room.

"Uhm, Tai?" You questioned, seeing him look up to you as he took his seat. "Are you ever gonna take off the mask?"

His cheeks went rosey as he quickly removed the black mask from around his eyes and unzipped his hero jacket and let it fall back on the chair. As he moved his arms to rest on the table, you couldn't help but stare at the ungodly amount of muscle he had hidden away under the baggy pants and jacket of a hero outfit.

The white tank he wore underneath molded around his toned figure, revealing every dip and nook of his body. Shaking it off, you sat down and let Taishiro say 'thanks' before you dug into the meal.

Well, he did...you were busy drooling over his upper body.

The way his arms flexed and curved with every movement, how the veins in his hands shifted as he adjusted the fork in his grip, how his perfect lips pressed against the fork as he took his bite before his sharp jaw moved as he chewed.

Your body felt warm, heat crawling through your skin as you shivered. He was an absolute mass of a man and it was slightly intimidating to even be around him, let alone know you were on a date.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you look today?" He asked, glancing up to you as you gently shook your head, trying to pretend like you weren't just sizing him up. "Well you do. You are gorgeous." The smile that graced your lips made his heart flutter, eyes remaining on you for a moment before he dug back into his food, accidentally finishing it in only a few minutes. "Oh..." He muttered, embarrassed about his lack of pace.

"You could just eat out of the tray...just be careful, it's hot." You said, gesturing your head back into the kitchen. Seeing his reluctance, you swallowed your bite and reached across the table, resting your hand on his sculpted forearm. "I'm not going to judge you Tai, eat what you need...you had a busy day."

In a flash he was in your kitchen then back in his spot with the whole plate of lasagna. Tai gave you another square before he took his fork and shoveled another bite into your mouth. "Your food is delicious! It is always so perfectly filled with flavor!" He gushed.

The fact that the hero who literally had to EAT to maintain his quirk was complimenting your food made you very happy. "You have a restaurant right? I should stop by and visit sometime!" He cheered, shoving another bite in his mouth.

"I'll probably be coming from work when we go on a date one of these days." You said, wiping your mouth before realizing you piqued his interest. "I can pick you up!" He cheered, a bright smile coating his face despite the sauce that was on the corner of his mouth. "That sounds great." You replied, finishing your last bite before he literally started to lick the tray clean.

You watched in amazement as every last bit of food was cleaned off the glass. "You missed a spot." You said, watching as he stared at the plate. With a playful roll of your eyes, you got up and walked over to Taishiro as he faced you. "I don't see any-!!" His lips sealed shut as you gently kissed the corners of his lips, getting the sauce off his face with the small gesture.

"There." You smiled, only pulling back a few inches before his large hand encapsulated yours with a wavering consciousness before he leaned in and pressed a small peck to your lips. Your arms wrapped around his neck as you kissed him more firmly, holding yourself to him as he kissed you back.

Your lips parted, allowing his curious tongue to enter as his hands felt up your sides. You yelped when he suddenly stood up, your arms still locked around his neck and your body now dangling from his body. "What's wrong?" Tai said, holding your hips.

"Uhm, I'm short...very short compared to you." You chuckled, seeing the realization in his eyes as a soft 'oh!' left his lips as he lifted your body up by your thighs. "Is that better?" He asked, feeling your legs wrap around his body. "Mhm, thanks big guy." You said, a small laugh emitting from both of you at the situation.

Your legs could barely hook around his torso, but thankfully to Taishiro you were virtually weightless and could be supported easily by one of his hands, let alone two. He puffed some of his hair out of his eyes before pressing a small kiss to your neck and looking back to you. "Can I kiss you some more?"

You eagerly nodded, pressing yourself against him as another deep kiss ensued. His lips were soft, gentle, much like him. And oh god were those muscles addicting the more you got used to being in his arms...it felt like a teddy bear was hugging you if bears were absolutely shredded.

"You taste delicious~" He hummed, swirling his tongue with yours. "We just ate lasagna weirdo." You chuckled, listening to the small breath puffed from his nose as he sighed in content. "I know, but I think you taste delicious over all."

The kiss intensified, noses pressing into each others cheeks as you let passion override delicacy. Taishiro knew exactly what you needed and wanted, thankfully he felt the same. Your teeth collided as he pressed himself against you, bodies warming as he held you in place.

Your body felt like putty in his hands that were easily gripping your thighs and massaging the supple skin. Both of your hearts were racing in your chest, and though you knew it wouldn't progress past this tonight, it was a magical moment, one you wish would never end.

He pressed your back against the wall, teeth nipping at the skin of your neck as you let out a small, hot breath into his ear. "Beautiful~" Tai muttered onto your skin, relishing in how your hands tangled in his hair and gently scratched over his shoulders.

The man couldn't believe his luck that this girl he had a huge crush on for years was in his arms, every curve and bump of your body feeling even better than he ever imagined. "You are so handsome." You whispered, nibbling on his lobe and unknowingly making all the blood rush down to his lower region.

"T-Thank you..." He sighed, raising his chin to allow you better access to his neck. Taking the hint, you pressed kisses down his skin, leaving two sweet hickies in their wake. When his fingers flinched into your skin, you knew you found his sweet spot, eyes fluttering as you licked and sucked the tender point as he let out a low and quiet groan.

Beeeeeep!

You both were snapped out of the zone as the oven sounded from the kitchen. "Fuck. I forgot to turn it off." You sighed, not wanting to let go. It beeped at you again, a small laugh coming from Taishiro as he sat you down thanking god for the interruption as he started to grow a problem....a big problem.

"It is probably for the best that we stop here anyway...I want to make it up to you before we go any further."

You sent him a small nod and headed into the kitchen, both of you taking a minute to calm down as you mentally panicked over how amazing that was. After straightening yourself up, you sucked in a small breath before heading back to continue the rest of your night...much more innocently.

____(later that month)____

"Order up!" One of the workers yelled, tossing another order forward as the daily chaos resumed in the kitchen. The line was out the door once more but everyone was having a blast. The patrons were loving it and tipping the wait staff handsomely and all of your chefs were receiving compliments from the customers...even the bus boy!

There were pans clanking, steam sizzling, rice cooking, and fresh smells flying everywhere faster than you could process. Over the bustle, you heard a familiar voice: "Oh, dear..."

Looking over, you instantly smiled at the sight of Taishiro as he ducked down to see the person at the front so he could order some food. "My apologies...I'll have the Gyudon...three servings please." He got out his wallet and paid the staff member, a few people starting to recognize the pro hero in the small restaurant.

"That will be around 30 minutes, is that alright?"

"Of course! Thank you so much!" Taishiro beamed, seeming to lift the spirits in the room by simply existing. As he stood, his eyes met yours, smile growing as he sent you a wave. "Take your time!" He assured, glancing to the large line as he went outside to find a seat.

The flutter of your heart made you feel giddy, a few of your staff members taking note as a few celebratory 'aaawwwww's were sent your way. "That's the guy we catered for right? The pro-hero?" One of the sous chefs asked. "Yeah." You responded, getting cheers and whistles as you quickly flipped off your coworkers.

You all laughed before resuming your job, everyone eventually having to force you out of the kitchen on you would be there all day. "Go talk to your hunk of a man!" One of your waitresses encouraged, handing you his order and pushing you into the dining area.

People complimented your food as you walked past, everyone of all ages stuffing their mouths with their orders...even kids. You walked out the door and saw Tai sitting at a lone table and signing a few autographs for some kids as they walked by.

"Some Gyudon for you sir?" You said, watching his eyes dart over to you. "(Y/n)!" He cheered, standing up and startling everyone as the chair squealed across the concrete. "Sorry!" He said, waving off his mistake bashfully as you set the food down. Once the smell hit his nose, he instantly plopped back down and motioned for you to sit next to him.

As he grabbed his chopsticks and barreled through the meals, you sat and watched with a small smile at how quickly he could devour any plate put in front of him. It was strange how easy everything seemed with him, there wasn't a struggle or any doubts.

"Is it always like this?" Tai asked, munching on his food. "Yeah, I have been saving up for a new place that is bigger. Just need to hope no one gets it before I do." Taishiro smiled at you when he swallowed, "I'll be your top paying customer! I'll come everyday and bring all my coworkers!"

The thought of pro-heroes eating your food terrified you, thus eliciting the small whimper from your lungs as you zoned out. "Hey..." Taishiro said, leaning toward you with a curious glance. "...Toshinori said something about you being worried that you are quirkless. Did someone tell you your food wasn't good because of that?"

Sucking in a breath you shrugged, leaning back in your chair. "Well, yes and no. They always love the food but as soon as they find out a quirkless person cooked it, they get this sense of entitlement that I served them a peasants dish." Taishiro furrowed his brows, golden eyes giving you an empathetic gaze before he pressed a small kiss to your hand.

"I promise none of my friends are like that. I know that after a long day at work your food would definitely be something they would kill for!...well, not kill, you know what I mean!"

His enthusiasm gave you hope for the future, maybe one day you would own that restaurant and serve pro-heros who appreciated your art. Taishiro's optimism and encouragement never ceased to amaze you, maybe that's why when he suggested you go to an amusement park for your date you were quick to say yes.

You had gone on go-karts, played mini-golf, and even gone bowling...all of which were funny to watch considering his height difference between him and the average person expected to play those games. Eventually you only had one final thing to do, that being the large rollercoaster at the center of the park that attracted everyone's eye.

You stood in line with Tai as he eagerly rambled on about one of his interns named Tamaki. Based on the way he talked about the boy it was like he considered him his own child rather than an intern and you found it deeply endearing.

His conversation quickly flipped however when other passengers exited the ride to let the next round on. Tai helped you in as you boarded the rollercoaster, making sure you were situated before stepping in and taking a seat beside you.

"This is certainly different from a fancy dinner." You joked, getting the bar lowered down over your shoulders as you leaned forward to see Tai. "Yes! I didn't want you to be bored and figured this was more fun than just sitting!"

You chuckled, looking at the track ahead of you as you and Tai had both agreed to sit in the front. "I'm so excited! It's been so long since I have been on one of these!!" You cheered, kicking your legs as the ride started to move, raising you up slowly on a sharp incline.

"I've never been on one!" Tai said, making your eyes go wide as you looked at him. "What?!" His laugh turned nervous as he realized how high up you were, "Yeah, I've...never...
oh god!! I'M TERRIFIED OF HEIGHTS!" He yelled, white-knuckling the metal bars as you rose higher off the ground. "S-So high!" He muttered, squeezing his eyes shut.

"Hey! You're okay alright? I want you to keep your eyes closed Tai!" You said, seeing as you made it to the top. When the ride halted as you were face to face with the large drop, Tai was wondering what was wrong and opened his eyes to the horrifying sight.

"OH MY GOD!" He screamed, looking at the large plunge. "What did I say!" You reprimanded, feeling his hand quickly grasp your own. "I'm sor-AHHHHHHHHH!" His apology turned into a chorus of screams as the rides lock clicked and you were sent flying down the tracks.

You couldn't help but laugh at his shocked and mortified expression as you whipped around in the seats. "Woooooo!" You cheered, raising both of your hands and taking Tai's up with you involuntarily. "Put your hand up you big baby!" You screamed to him over the loud winds. His arm shot straight up, heart racing more from adrenaline rather than fear as the ride went around a loop.

"THIS IS SO HORRIFYING! I LOVE IT!" Tai yelled, making you laugh as he got more and more into it with every passing second. Soon, you found yourselves screaming the lyrics to 'Sweet Caroline' as you flew back and forth.

The people behind you heard you and sang along, soon followed by the people behind them, and so on. As you rounded another loop, the entirety of your ride was screaming the lyrics and throwing their hands up in the air.

"SWEET CAROLINE! BA BA BA! GOOD TIMES NEVER SEEMED SO GOOD!"

"SO GOOD!"

"SO GOOD!"

"SO GOOD!"

You laughed rounding the last corner as the ride started to come to a halt at the loading area as everyone laughed and cheered. When the shoulder locks released, Tai stood and helped you up, practically lifting you out of the coaster and setting you on the ground.

Brushing your hair down, you chuckled at Tai's floof on the top of his head as he tried to pat it down. "Well, that fear is conquered!" He sang, taking your hand as you started to walk to the exit of the park. "Why didn't you tell me you had a fear of heights?"

"I knew I had to get over it sometime, and you seemed like the best person to help me overcome it. So thank you!" He grinned, giving you a quick kiss and making you flush. "Would you like to come over to my house?" Tai offered, watching the curiosity grow in your eyes as you wondered what his house looked like.

"I'd like that." You smiled, feeling him give your hand a light squeeze as he led you on. "Then what are we waiting for?"
___________________

The dark, wooden house was gorgeous, a traditional Japanese home mixed with a bit of modern architecture really managed to make it even cozier. It was rather tucked away, a small river running around the property and to a koi pond nearby.

There was a small bridge to get over it and to the front door, where the inside made you feel insanely tiny and helpless. As you were led into his room to change clothes, you stared at the giant EVERYTHING. For some reason it didn't cross your mind until now that all of the furniture would be raised to meet Tai's obvious height difference, but now that you were here it was very noticeable.

Things that were normally to your hips were to your chest, making you feel like Alice in Wonderland. Every counter was massive, and the closet was even crazier. There was NO WAY you could reach anything as the hangars were easily 2 feet above you.

"Tai!" You called, hearing his bathroom door swing open as he stepped out in some sweats and a white tank. "Yes?...oh!" He said with a small chuckle, walking up behind you and easily taking down one of the large shirts and handing it to you. "Is that easier? Sorry, in my own home I tend to forget my height."

"It's okay! Thank you!" You smiled, heading into his bathroom to change. As soon as the door locked, Tai ran into the living room and fixed all the pillows on his couch before neatly folding a blanket and draping it over the side. Fixing up a small snack tray, he set it down on ths coffee table before adjusting his hair in the reflection of the large TV.

"You can do this...it's just (Y/n), you know, the girl you've had a crush on since forever? Ugh." He groaned, rubbing his face in his hands before walking down the hall to crank down the thermostat so he had an excuse to hold you closer to him.

"Pull yourself together Toyomitsu!" He scolded with a whisper, shoving down the rather impure thoughts he was having rush to the forefront of his mind.

You on the other hand had slipped on the shirt and were currently having the same issue. As you looked at the massive 10×10 bed, you couldn't help but wonder all the things he could do to you.

"Stop that! It's been one date, you horn-dog!" You muttered, smacking your face. The thoughts quickly returned though as you saw one of his pairs of underwear falling out of his laundry bin.

You could fit both of your thighs into one of the leg holes alone, leaving you to wonder just how big that part of him was. You pressed your hands to your cheeks, feeling how warm they were before you realized just how long you had been in his room.

Quickly throwing your clothes in the bin, you exited his room and wandered around the house to find him. "Tai?" You questioned, getting no response as you finally found the living room.

"Tai?" You said, slightly startling him as you came into his view. His throat felt tight as your eyes met his, the large shirt went down to your knees and made you laugh as he stared. "It's a bit big, I know." He stayed silent, taking in how utterly adorable you looked in his shirt and only his shirt.

"You look....delicious."

Your cheeks flushed pink at his response, the distance between you feeling awkward until he started to near you. His hands rested on your shoulders, your sweet smell sending a tingle through his body as he treated you like the most delicate object in the world.

"Would you join me on the couch?"

A nod left you, his hands lifting you like a princess as he carried you over and laid you down before walking over to dim the lights. You shuddered as he turned to face you again, his arms crossing as he gazed at you from across the room.

"Pardon my directness, but I need to know if I am overstepping any boundaries...I am sure you are aware of where tonight is heading."

You sucked in a deep breath, slightly rubbing your legs together. "You're not, I want this...I want you." Though it was rather dark, you saw his small grin as he neared you before he joined you on the couch and took your hands.

"If you change your mind and want to stop, don't hesitate to tell me. Your comfort in this matter is extremely important to me...with that being said, I feel as though we should make us official before we begin...." He scooted closer to you, pressing a sweet kiss to your lips before continuing. "...(Y/n), you are truly the most lovely and wonderful girl I have met. I want to continue to learn about you and make you happy every day...so will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes!" You eagerly replied, practically throwing yourself at him as you both went from laughing to silent in a matter of seconds as he stared into your eyes. "That being said...I can't resist you anymore. I want to make love to you (Y/n)."

"Please..." You muttered, taking a breath before his lips smashed onto yours, both of you falling back on the plush couch as you ran your hands over his back. The tall male groaned into the kiss, feeling his excitement grow second by second as your hands tugged back on his hair.

His honey eyes fluttered open to see you underneath him and in a moment of involuntary weakness he muttered out a bombshell. "I love you." Your hands pressed against his shoulders, he loved you? How was that even possible?! Seeing your confusion plastered on your tomato of a face, he snapped from his trance and went into a panic.

"A-Ah! I mean, I love the way you look! Yes! So pretty and gorgeous-...absolutely stunning!"

"Tai." You breathed, sitting up and taking his face gently in your hands. "Did you mean that?" Defeated by your persistent gaze, Tai closed his eyes with a reluctant nod. "Yes...I have for a few years, I just-....I thought it would go away, but I saw you again and everything came rushing back!"

You nodded, unsure of how to reply.

"Oh!" He exclaimed, watching you go deep into thought as he waved his hands frantically back and forth. "You don't need to say it back. I am aware of how short of a time we have been dating...we literally just labeled ourselves tonight. I want you to say it when you mean it."

You felt horrible, but at the same time thankful that he didn't hate you for not pinning your feelings down so soon. "Thank you Tai...it means a lot." You whispered, pressing a sweet kiss to his lips that he eagerly returned. Without any more words to waste, you straddled over his hips, feeling his large hands slip under your shirt and over your warm back.

"(Y/n)...you're so soft." He breathed, watching as you pulled back only to toss the shirt off your body and gaze at him with wanting eyes. You could feel his growing erection underneath you, the feeling sending goosebumps all over your body. "Tai...I want to see you."

In a flash his shirt was on the ground, broad shoulders and sculpted body of a god on full display for your viewing pleasure. The pads of your fingers delicately traced over a few of his scars, stopping yourself from drooling at how utterly attractive this man was.

"Mgh...(Y/n). Don't tease." He swallowed, causing your eyes to glance up at him. "Tease? How am I teasing?"

"M-my body is very sensitive in this form....and you-ha~....ahhhh." He sighed, gripping your hips as he pressed them against his own. You couldn't help but grow even wetter from feeling up the sheer mass of him alone.

"You're so big....oh god." You whispered, moaning softly when he repeated his actions. Tai craved to see your pleasure, watching your cheeks flush and eyes haze over as you rocked your hips against his. "(Y/n)...my love. You're so wet." He husked, starting to feel your juices seep through the thin underwear and onto his sweats.

You didn't reply, instead pulling your panties to the side and grinding against him more. "Mhm~!!" You both said, breathing into a kiss as Tai shuffled down his sweats to let his erection spring free. The long member easily spanned 9 inches...but what did you expect from a 7'3 man?

"O-oh...so wet." He hummed, letting his shaft rock against your wet folds. Your mind started to fuzz, there was no way that you could turn back now even if you wanted to...which you didn't.

The protruding veins made your knees weak, body leaning against his and feeling the massive amounts of warmth radiate from his skin. "T-Tai..." You panted, shuddering in pleasure from how large he was compared to you. "I know my love, but I need to get you ready first."

Carefully, Tai laid you back down on the couch and looked over your body, leaving a few dark and hot marks on your neck and mounds of your chest before suddenly standing and walking away. "Huh?" You asked, sitting up and seeing he was nowhere to be found.

"Sorry-"

"AH!" You jumped, spinning to look back at him. "I'm sorry, did I startle you?" He chuckled, holding a small bag in his hand. "Kind of...what's with the bag?" You asked, watching his face turn a light shade of pink as he opened it and pulled out its contents. You both turned red as he pulled out whipped cream and body chocolate, no words left your mouth as you stared at the two items.

"If you don't want to, we don't have to...but I figured I'd ask." He sheepishly said. "I've never done anything like that." Your tone clearly held nerves, but a part of you was excited to try something new. "I'll start off slow then." He assured, gently taking your wrist and laying it flat as he grabbed the whipped cream and sprayed a small puff onto your skin.

You watched as he tenderly licked around the area before pressing his lips to your skin. Chills ran over your body as he licked off the fluffy substance and let hot breaths hit the sensitive skin. "I love you (Y/n)." He whispered, pressing a final peck down before looking up into your eyes.

"Lay down for me please." Tai asked, motioning for you to stay on your back as he kneeled down beside you. "Prefect." He cooed, taking out the body chocolate and slowly starting to pour it. You shuddered as the warm liquid touched down on your breast, Taishiro making sure it covered your nipple before trailing it down to your navel then to your hips.

He did this a few times until your nipples and hips were coated with lines leading right back to your stomach. Watching his hungry eyes, his tongue slightly poked out of his mouth as he sprayed some whipped cream over your belly button before climbing between your legs on the couch.

"You look delicious...I want a taste~" Tai husked lowly, your heart building in pace as he leaned down and swiped his tongue over one of your perky nips before gently suckling on your tit. "Mhm~" You sighed, keeping your hands by your head in order to ensure the chocolate didn't drip onto the couch.

As he cleaned one breast, his tongue followed the trail of chocolate down to your navel, his body feeling your own slightly twitch as he moved lower and lower. Halting his motions, he looked to you as saw your heaving chest, eyes glancing at him helplessly from above.

"Please Tai...I want you." You whined, seeing the smirk he gave you in defiance. "I'm not done cleaning you my love, it would be such a shame to waste all of this don't you think?" You whimpered and squeezed your eyes shut as he latched onto your other breast, sucking on it much harder than the last and even leaving a few solid marks.

His lips kissed down to your hips, hands feeling over your smooth thighs as he lapped up the chocolate that resided on your pelvic bone. "Chocolate tastes much better on you." He breathed, seemingly entranced by your body. "T-thank y-!!!" Before you could process, his tongue darted across your folds, lightly hitting your entrance and making your hips jolt.

Tai pressed them back down and looked up to you with glowing eyes, "I am going to make you cum before that cream melts." His statement alone made you moan, your body desperate to feel his touch. Without a moment to lose, his tongue delved into your heat. Tasting your sweet juices combined with the chocolate almost sent Taishiro into overload as his hips jutted across the couch.

"Ngh...-" Grunting to himself, he rested his arm over your hips to hold your squirming figure down as he ate you out like a man starved while his other hand reached down and started touching himself. "(Y/n)....mgh, you're so delicate and delectable~" You felt like you were melting under his grasp, your hands flying into his hair as his tongue curled inside you.

"Deeper-...deeper!" You demanded, pulling his face further into you as your legs hooked over his shoulders. Doing as requested, Tai shoved his face between your legs slurping and tasting your body as you started to come undone.

"Ahhhh~"

You bit your lip, squeezing your eyes shut before realizing how close you were. "I'm gonna-Tai!!!" You called, moaning as his tongue moved faster until your high crashed down on him. "A-ahhHhhh!!!~" You huffed. Tai licked up your cum as it spilled onto your thighs.

Quickly, he moved up, lapping up all of the whipped cream just as it was starting to melt. "What did I say?" He panted, taking in breath through his nose as he licked off his lips once the food was cleared from your body. You caught your breath and lifted your head, noticing that he was touching himself.

"Tai..." You called, sitting yourself up and tilting up his chin. "...can I help with that?" He nodded, sitting back on the couch as you grabbed the can and sprayed some of the cream across his length. You knew there was no way all of him would fit in your mouth, but you had a plan.

Your nails scratched up his thighs, his large hand tangling in your hair as the other gripped the cushion. Starting from the base, you licked up the side of his cock, watching it eagerly twitch in anticipation.

"Excited?" You chuckled. "Yes....you're so beautiful." Tai hummed, letting his head rest back as you continued your work, eating some of the cream off his base before giving a few kitten licks to his tip and watching the precum easily drip from the slit. "Mm~" You hummed, swirling it around before taking him in your mouth.

Tai let out a small gasp that made you chuckle, one of your hands moving to stroke his base as you took in the upper half of his cock. Because he was already so worked up, it didn't take long for his hips to start to lock and his member to pulse.

Pulling your head back, you used your hand to stroke him, watching his chest heave from labored breaths as he built up to his high. "Cum for me Tai." You muttered, kissing his tip and feeling his grip tighten on your hair. "You want it in my mouth?" You questioned, smiling when he gave you a desperate nod.

Without a response you took his tip in your mouth and swiped your tongue over his slit. The sensation cracked him at the seams as his thick load shot  into your mouth and hit your throat. You hummed as he loudly groaned, the feeling of his pulsing member turning you on and making you dripping in anticipation.

"I-....want. I want to be inside..." He huffed, moving the damp hair from off his sweaty forehead as he looked down on you. You greedily swallowed his cum, licking your lips before kissing his tip once more.

"I'm yours Tai. I want this." You nodded, watching his sweet smile grow once more as he looked at you. Pressing a quick kiss to your lips he stood from the couch, "Lay down whichever way is most comfortable to you." You smiled and got comfortable on your back, watching as the large male towered over you.

If he wasn't such a softie he would be an amazing dom.

You thought, chuckling at your own brain. "What?" He asked, slightly tilting his head. "It's just...you look so intimidating but you're so sweet...it's nice." You sighed, tracing your nails up his arms. "When we get more comfortable with each other, I would like to be a bit less nice." He said, cocking up a brow and seeming to read your mind.

Your red face indicated to him that he had hit the nail right on the head and that you were indeed seeing his potential. "You are not the first person to assume I would be very dominant, have you seen the lewd art people make of me?"

The laugh you let out echoed through the house, both of you chortling at his comment. "I'm not sure I even want to know." You joked, seeing his eyes slightly widen. "It's kind of scary! All you have to do is look up my name and all sorts of stuff pops up."

"Well you do participate in food play, so I say they have a right to be suspicious."

He couldn't argue with you, so instead you both just laughed until it subsided once more into a sweet and loving kiss. His strong arms were posted beside your head, easily supporting his weight as your small hands caressed his sides. Before Tai continued, he put a large swirl of whipped cream over each of your mounds.

"Are you ready?" He asked.

With your hum of approval Taishiro lined himself up at your entrance, the warm tip swiping across your folds and sending a shiver down your spine before he pressed his thick shaft into you. "O-Oh~!" You gaped, squeezing your eyes shut as he slowly pushed himself further and further inside until you couldn't take him anymore.

"N-gha-..." He huffed, finally looking down to see just how much he had filled you. The sight alone made him want to go wild, but he didn't want to hurt you on your first night together. "Let me know when you are ready my love." He breathed, massaging your hips in an attempt to loosen your tense muscles.

"Just give me a sec....ah-" You winced, not used to the sheer size of someone like Taishiro ever being inside you. Despite that fact the pain seemed to quickly fade, and you soon found your hips beginning to roll on their own. "(Y/n), may I move?" Tai asked, watching your eyes shut as you let out a small nod cueing him to move.

The blond pulled his hips back, gently pressing them forward again and feeling your walls shape around him. "You're so....warm." He breathed, adjusting his grip before starting to build his pace. Your nails dug into the couch cushions as he thrusted into your walls, each passing second growing faster and faster as he found it hard to hold back.

"Oh god! Tai, right there baby, right there!" You mewled, arching your back and feeling the melting whipped cream start to drip down onto your collarbone and shoulders. "What a waste...~" Tai grumbled, leaning over you and starting to lap the cream off of your breasts as he pounded into you.

"Mmmghmm-" He groaned, loving the addictive sweet taste of the whipped cream on your warm skin as your core flexed and pulsed around him. "Harder!" You cried, rolling your eyes back as the noises of skin on skin grew louder, your wetness seeping down your legs and pushing onto his thighs and hips with every thrust.

"You're so wet my love...do you enjoy this?" He cooed, licking up the remaining cream, before eagerly suckling on your erect nipples. "Yes! I love it so much, holy fuck!!" You moaned, drool slipping from the corner of your mouth as he bit down on your tender skin.

"So delicious and sweet~...You're my new favorite dessert~" Tai growled, feeling his hips start to contract the longer he rammed his hardened cock into your core. Your sensual moans grew louder and louder until you came without warning, seeming to surprise even yourself.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't-ah!" Your small yelp was caused by Taishiro flipping you over and making you get on your hands and knees on the couch before he filled you once again. Your moan of being filled once more was interrupted by the warm chocolate sauce being drizzled down your spine and ending at your tailbone. "Ooh...MhgmmMm~"

"Beautiful....so damn beautiful." Tai breathed, thrusting himself into once more with a grunt before leaning over and licking up the chocolate greedily from your back. "Mhm, Tai....
ooo-Ohhhh." You breathed, never realizing how sensitive your back was until he was nibbling at the skin and tracing it with his tongue.

"You're going to make me cum....it feels so good, so warm." He breathed, mouthing the words on your skin as his arms tightened around you. Your lower half fell onto the couch, his hips humping against you as his weight pinned you there, mewls and helpless moans pouring from your lips with every thrust.

You could feel him growing harder inside you, his cock pulsing as he drove himself into you. "Tai-Tai! Ohhh god! Tai I'm cumming again!" You cried, feeling tears form in your eyes from the pleasure as his sweaty forehead pressed against the back of your shoulder.

"Cum for me my love....please, cum for me."

At his words, your high tipped over, body shaking and thighs quivering as the pleasure went from your toes to your head. At the sensation of your walls clenching around him, Tai gave a few more sloppy thrusts before pulling out and releasing himself across your ass and lower back.

Your lower half dropped onto the couch as Tai let you go, quickly standing and walking to the nearby bathrooms for some towels. With the little strength you had, you made a conscious effort to lay on your stomach so you didn't stain his couch with his cum.

You closed your eyes, taking what only seemed like a few deep breaths before opening them again only to realize you had dozed off. Taishiro was standing in front of you in a pair of boxers and had already cleaned you off entirely, but was now setting up a small fan before bringing over a glass of ice water.

"You're awake, good. Drink this, you need to hydrate."

He set the glass down and helped you sit up, feeling bad for the way you winced. Tai helped guide the water to your mouth, watching as some of it trailed out of the corners and down your chin. "Here, let me." He smiled, wiping off with a clean towel.

"Would putting a shirt on make you feel more comfortable?"

"Mhm." You said, trying not to fall asleep again. Thankfully, your boyfriend helped you slip on the large shirt before feeling you tightly hug him. "Thank you Tai." You muttered, nearly dozing off in his arms as his warmth eased your mind. "Of course (Y/n). Do you want me to take you home or do you want to stay here for the night?"

"Stay." You muttered like a child, clinging onto him as he let out a deep chuckle. "Alright, let's get you to bed." He breathed, picking you up with ease and carrying you to his large bed. Tai adjusted the pillows for you, watching as you eagerly snuggled into the blankets.

Pressing a kiss to your forehead, he turned to walk away only to feel your hand grip his fingers. "Where are you going?"

"To clean up the rest of the food in the living room. Then I'll be right back in, alright? Pinky promise!" He eagerly stuck out one of his pinkies, watching your sweet smile raise up as you gave him your own. "Pinky promise."

Once you relaxed, Tai went out and cleaned up the chocolate and whipped cream, as well as throwing the dirty towels in the washer for tomorrow before heading back into the bedroom.

He stopped in the doorway, noticing how you were completely asleep on his bed and bundled into a small ball. It was strange for Tai to see how tiny you were compared to the gigantic bed, but he couldn't help but feel happy that you were there.

For so long he had been in that bed by himself, it was almost sad seeing what he might have looked like to anyone else. But as he rounded the corners and climbed into bed, Taishiro pulled you into him and allowed himself to be the big spoon he was meant to be.

Your body was cradled perfectly in his as he closed his eyes, his mind wandering to an array of possibilities that maybe one day in the future, this would be his always and you...you would stay like this forever.
