You decided that it was your favorite feeling to wake up next to Kirishima. Especially when he was still sleeping. His features reminded you of that of a baby's, soft skin and fine features. The sun shone on you two, highlighting the beauty of the situation.
Carefully, you got up and looked into the mirror of the bathroom down the hall. You had to be quiet, as everyone else didn't fall asleep until hours after you did, so they were still sleeping. As you breathed in the peaceful morning atmosphere, it finally struck you what was happening. Eijiro had been...cuddling with you. Holding you in his arms, keeping you safe from anything around you.
After a few seconds of covering your eyes from this thought, you looked in the mirror to see a dark crimson color blossoming on your face. And not too soon after, a boy with the hair color of the current color of your face appeared in the room, startling you.
"Hey, Y/N," he says, with a sleepy voice that you of course found extremely attractive.
"Hi Eijiro," you reply sounded almost winded.
You tilt your body down toward the sink to wash your face, and when you become upright again, he wraps his arms around your waist. This feeling was the feeling you had felt last night, but it definitely was more intense because of last night's lack of sleep. It also was easing that Kirishima was doing this even with rest and not in the heat of the moment.
"I wish we could be like this forever," he says, tightening his grip around your waist.
You swallowed your pride and replied with how you really felt.
"Me too," you say, grinning from ear to ear.
He buried his face in the crook of your neck, which made you blush. By this point everything that this man did made you blush, which also made you blush just thinking about it. You tried to pull out of his hold to hug him back, but he resisted.
"I just want to hug you," you say with a slight giggle.
He let go and you turned around as quickly as possible and wrapped your arms around him like there was no tomorrow. Everything about it, the warm embrace that you were giving and receiving, felt right. You honestly thought you could easily stay like this forever.

((time skip to leaving Kaminari's))
You gathered your things to leave Kaminari's, and stole one last glance of Eijiro before you left. Until he ran up to you.
"Y/N, wanna come to my house later?" he says with that same pep in his voice as usual.
"Of course," you say with a sincere smile.
You both left Kaminari's with yet another thing to look forward to, and that made you giddy with hope that you'll have enough courage to confess. Maybe, just maybe, he'll beat you to it.
And so you waited. And waited. Until Eijiro texted you that he didn't want to wait until nighttime. That was a reoccurring thing with him, he had always been very impatient. So, you made your way to his house.
As you opened the door, you remembered the nervousness you felt every time you opened this door in the past few months. How that nervousness was slowly dwindling away ever since this morning. Your thoughts were interrupted by a certain excited redhead.
"Hi, Y/N!" he says, practically jumping into your arms.
You, being the good best friend you are, returned the embrace. The embrace felt different than this morning's, being more friendly and less passionate. After a few seconds, you quickly moved away and he pulled your through his house and up the stairs. You followed, with a lot of giggles between the both of you, and you were having a great time.

((time skip again because i'm lazy and also it'd be boring))
"Haha! I win again!" you exclaim, falling backwards.
The two of you had been playing board games for multiple hours, well into the night.
"How did you win again? I don't think you've lost once at this game!" he says.
You were starting to get bored of winning (ok why is it giving death note) and decided you wanted to take a walk. Plus, you knew Eijiro loved nighttime walks, so why not suggest it?
"Sure! Why not?" he said, immediately getting up off the floor of his room that you'd been sitting on for hours.
You grabbed your phone and headed out of his room, careful to tiptoe once you got out of his room knowing that his parents were asleep. The two of you went down the creaky stairs and made your way around the downstairs. Soon, you were at the front door.
It was pretty cold outside, you would admit. But, of course, as much as you tried, you could never get Kirishima to wear anything thicker than a hoodie. So, you argued about that for a while. Once you got to your destination, a children's playground, the arguing died down.
"You really pissed off Bakugo last night, didn't you?" he says, breaking the awkward silence that had filled the air as soon as you sat down on the swings.
"Yeah, I hope he's okay," you reply, with genuine concern for the blonde.
"I'm sure he is. I mean, he is Bakugo." he replies.
You both knew that he wasn't, even though you tried to comfort yourselves. Bakugo has always tried to hide his emotions, always shielded with that mask of anger he tries to convey.
"I DON'T WANT SHITTY HAIR TO HAVE YOU, OK?! YOU GUYS LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER AND I DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE MORE OF AN ASSHOLE THAN I ALREADY DO. IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?!"
Those words really rang through your brain. The two of you stood up. What if you really hurt him? A single tear rolled down your face. Eijiro took the hood of his hoodie and wiped it off. You turned your head to see his empathetic eyes staring into yours.
"What's wrong?" he says softly.
The tone of his voice made you feel guilty for being so upset about Bakugo, and that you should be laughing with Eijiro.
"I feel so bad for what I did," you replied through increasingly heavy tears.
The sights around you didn't make it better. You looked down at the slightly wet grass, up at the blinding street light after you had seen only the dark for a long time, straight ahead at the houses with their lights out, and then back at the red head beside you.
He pulled you into a tight hug, a very soothing one at that. You rested your tired head in the crook of his neck as he began to rub your back. He whispered things in your ear that you couldn't make out behind your crying, and soon his soft sniffling too.
"See, now you're making me cry too," he says, smiling a faint smile that you could only spot at this distance.
After what seemed like a millennium, you picked your head up to look him in the eyes. You looked at his lips, slightly chapped and twitching from the cold. Those lips, you thought, would be perfect right now.
You gathered your courage, and began to close the distance, only a few inches, between you and a moonlit Eijiro's lips. As soon as they collided, everything else seemed to fade away. All of the past two days' hardships, everything faded away.
His lips glided gracefully against yours, as he pulled you in even closer to him than you already were. Even though you were upset just a few moments ago, that even seemed to dissolve. All you could focus on was him.
After about a minute or so, you both pulled away, no matter how much you didn't want to. You were both out of breath. Soon after, your lips locked with his again, this time him being the one to kiss you.
Him, you thought,
He is the answer.
