Description: did Sero really not notice how much you liked him??
Note: this is defenetly not based off of my daydreaming before going to bed
------------------
Sero had his knees tucked to his chest, head held down so that nobody noticed the tears pricking from his eyes. Big droplets falling onto the fabric of his U.A uniform.
He is breath hitches hearing footsteps near him. He desperately hopes no one catches him, god, it be embarrassing if someone caught him crying.
He didn't want people to think of him as weak.
The footsteps suddenly stop and a figure is sat right in front of him
The figure crouches down and pats Sero's head
Sero looks back at the figure, tears streaming down his face still and he raises both his shaky hands to desperately clean his tears away.
"What's wrong Sero?" You say, tilting your head to the side, worried for your friend
You sit down in front of him, a small frown etched onto your face
"I-its nothing" he hics and stutters while standing up, trying to move his wobbly legs
You swiftly stand up with him and catch him when he's about to fall
"Please Sero talk to me, what's wrong?"
He just sighs, looking down at fiddling with his hands he only give you a small response saying, "its okay, i have to go to class"
And before you could utter out another word he's running off to his classroom.
The frown on your face is back and you grumble as you walk to your own classroom, dragging your feet against the floor.
Even through your whole lecture you were thinking about how you caught Sero in that state, you were seriously worried.
Walking out of the classroom your eyes meet with Ururaka and she gives you a kind smile. Waving at her you run your way over to her and say your greetings towards everyone else in the group.
"Hey Ururaka I need to talk with you"
She gives you a small "hm?" And you both walk somewhere more private other cooing and whistling seeing you both walk alone
Sero sees this and frowns, thinking just like the others that it was a confession and it makes him remember the reason why he was having that breakdown in the first place.
No one liked him, atleast not in that way. Or well thats what he thought.
Not like he'd tell anyone that though
That would be weird, wouldnt it?
Back to you and Ururaka
She softly gasps when you tell her the news, covering her mouth her eyes well up with small tears similar to how Sero was before. She hated seeing or hearing that her friends are sad and when you told her the news she almost broke down as well.
"Do you know why he was like that??" She asks while rubbing at her eyes
"Im not sure, he ran off before i could really ask. But i wanted you to know just in case you could maybe help. I've tried to talk to him these days but he's ignored me" you frown for the third time that day, by your own words at that.
Its really made you sad that he's been ignoring you.
She puffs out her cheeks, her eyes filled with determination, "dont worry (Y/N) ill make sure to find out whats the cause of it, just leave to me!"
And just like that shes off as well
You grab your backpack and hold on tight to it while walking to the cafeteria to get some food
--------------
Sero walked with his friends, head hung low and his usual smile was duller then how it normally was.
"Hey a little birdie told us they saw you crying, are you okay Sero?" Ururaka abruptly says
"What-?" Sero looks at her, chuckling nervously, rubbing at the back of his neck, a habit of his.
"They were really worried about you, did something happen Sero?"
He really felt cornered this time, all his friends waiting for his answer. He chewed on nails and gave out a sigh.
"Its just not fair" he says
"All you guys are so pretty, and smart. And your quirks are amazing and then there's just me with...tape"
They all stood shock and bewildered
Sero keeps on talking
"And ive seen so many people confess to you guys!! Ive never even gotten one confession, i feel like nobody like me in...that way"
He sat there, talking as if there clearly wasn't a person who had a crush on him,
When the person from the next door class has been crushing on him since the day they met.
As if you weren't around the corner listening to what he had to say
Did he really not notice your feelings for him?
You were sad to see him talk so bad about himself, you had never seen him act this way
"Are you an idiot?"
"I cant believe you said that in front of us, in front of (Y/N)!"
"What about (Y/N)?? They're not here--"
God he really was oblivious
"Im here Sero" you walk around the corner giving Sero a sad smile
"Oh (Y/N) hey-"
"Sero that's really not manly of you to say, we all love you, (Y/N) especially!"
You blush at Kirishimas comment, "hey stop it no need to tell Sero that"
"Tell me what?" Sero looks between the both of you, still oblivious to everything
Everybody mentally facepalms except you, they had enough of you both pining for each other without even noticing the others feelings
Ururaka and Kirishima push you closer towards each other and then everyone in group besides you two run away as fast as possible.
An awkward silence falls on the both of you
"Uhm-"
"Sero i dont know how you haven't noticed yet but i really like you please dont think that nobody likes you in that way because i do and have for a long time i mean you barely have any brain cells sometimes but thats okay because i dont either and your smile brightens up my day plus when you use your tape for pranks i find it really funny and-"
You stop your rambling, you didn't want to embarrass yourself just in case he didn't like you in that way
You look at Sero in the eyes and he smiles so brightly it makes your heart melt
There it is
The smile you fell in love with.
Small tears well up in the corners of his eyes and you inch your hands towards his face to wipe them away, but he grabs your face and pulls you toward him
Crashing his lips against yours he smiles into the kiss, you stumble a bit but try to stand your ground even while Sero has a death grip on your collar
"Ser- wAit- we're in pubLIC" you yell out in between kisses
You grab at the back of his uniform so you can at least pull him back from you to breath a bit but its useless, he keeps on kissing you and you receive small pecks all around your face.
"Im guessing thats an 'i like you back'" you say out of breath
"Hell yeah!!"
