The unlikely duel between the Ultimate Tennis Star and the Ultimate Powerlifter was definitely a sight for the ages. Ever since the two realized their shared crush on their classmate Gonta, they'd declared a war on each other that could only be seen to believed. It was fortunate for them that the person of their affections was so incredibly naïve that he didn't see any of it.
It'd lasted since the first week of first year, when both of them had been approached by Gonta on separate occasions. The tall man had endeared himself to them both in the first meeting alone, his quirky mannerisms and shy, kind demeanor a perfect bullseye for a crush.
The others could only sit back and watch as the two subtly fought for his affections. One week (y/n) gave him rare flowers, the next week Ryoma showed him an uncommon coloring for a cicada. Saihara sighed heavily every time he saw the two glaring daggers at each other during class or during lunch, and Akamatsu had to be convinced not to step in when they actually faced off against each other during gym. (That dodgeball game had gone down in the annals of Hope's Peak history as the most violent death match the school had ever seen. Blood was shed, the first-years were horrified, and the gym teacher actually cried. Neither of them were suspended for it, surprisingly.)
It all came to a head on Valentine's Day when (y/n) gifted Gonta some homemade chocolates and declared her love for him. Gonta was touched by the gesture and went to accept when Ryoma slid in and also proclaimed his love for the boy, giving him some expensive chocolates from a store in town.
The two had a staredown as Gonta nearly had a bluescreen trying to figure out what to do. The day was thankfully saved by Miu, who loudly told them to just share him in a poly relationship (and for them to 'just fuck each other already!', much to the class's shared embarrassment). They thought it out, agreed to a poly relationship, and all was well that ended well as the class watched Gonta walk off hand-in-hand with his new girlfriend and boyfriend.
(Ryoma and (y/n) did end up hooking up later on, and Miu took full credit for dispelling the frustrating sexual tension between the two. That lead to the Most Awful Sports Event in Hope's Peak History, where the second-years had to break up a blood match, the third-years had to help hide evidence, and the first-years were traumatized. Again, the two of them weren't suspended due to a miraculous lack of evidence pinning them for it.)
