In the beginning of this oneshot, reader will be insecure about her smile. But all of you lovely people with braces are beautiful, so just ignore reader's self doubt, ok?❤️❤️❤️

Your POV:

I woke up early on a Wednesday morning and got ready for school. While I was I brushing my hair, I frowned slightly as I gazed at my reflection.

I bared my teeth to get a better view of my braces. I quickly closed my mouth, insecure of the way they looked on me.

Sighing, I put the brush down and picked up my f/c backpack. I left the house and started to make my way to UA.

Soon I arrived at the large school and walked into my classroom, 1-a. I greeted my closest friends, Kirishima, Mina, Denki, Sero, Jiro and, although he wouldn't admit it, Bakugo.

Just a normal day at school.

Our first lesson was math with Ectoplasm. Boring, per usual. I took notes, solved problems and soon the lesson was over.

During break, I sat on Mina's desk, surrounded by the rest of the Bakusquad.

As Denki made some kind of immature joke, I laughed, subconsciously covering my mouth as I did so. After getting braces, I'd become insecure of my smile and had started to cover my mouth with my hand ever since.

It was a bad habit, but it was better than showing people my ugly smile...
(ur smile is gorgeous but I needed to add that for plot<3)

Kirishima's POV:

I frowned as Y/N covered her mouth while she laughed at Denki's stupid jokes.

It annoyed my whenever she always hid her smile as if she thought it was ugly.

I used to do that in the beginning of middle school because I didn't like my sharp teeth. But then I had made some amazing friends that assured me that they thought my pointy teeth looked cool and manly.

And ever since I haven't covered up my smile. Maybe Y/N just needs someone to do the same thing for her...

Your POV:

I noticed Kirishima frown slightly as I laughed. My heart sank. Maybe my smile really was hard to look at. My laughter quickly subsided and I closed my lips to hide my teeth.

Kirishima had such cool teeth and an amazing confident smile. Why couldn't I be more like him?

"Is something wrong, Y/N?" asked Jiro, noticing my sudden change of emotion.

"Hmm? No of course not!" I said quickly, waving my arms. I forced a closed mouth smile and they seemed to believe me.

If only I didn't have these stupid braces, maybe I could be like them. Confident, beautiful, happy...

I shook my head. I was overreacting. They were just braces!

Then why did I always cover them up?

I sighed. I couldn't wait to get these things off.

Kirishima's POV:

I waited nervously for Y/N to finish talking to Sero so that I could ask her something.

"Oh, hey, Kirishima!" she greeted, turning towards me "Can I help you with anything?"

"Um, yes, actually, I was wondering if you wanted to go somewhere after school." I said, hoping I didn't sound as nervous as I felt.

Oh god, it sounded like I was asking her out.

I mean, not that I didn't want to, but...

"Sure!" she agreed "I'd love to hang out! Where were you thinking?"

I sighed, relieved that she had accepted.

"Well, there's this new ramen place I was hoping to try out?" I proposed.

"Sounds great!" she smiled at me before quickly closing her mouth and regaining a more serious expression "Bye, Jiro!"

Oh crap, totally forgot she was there.

"Bye!" smirked Jiro "Enjoy your date, Y/N~"

"It's not a date!" she screeched, blushing furiously.

Then she paused, slowly turning towards me.

"... Is it?"

"No!" I quickly assured her, wishing that it was.

"Oh, ok..."

~•~❤️~•~

I waited anxiously for Y/N to show up at the ramen place.

Yes, I knew it wasn't a date, but going to a restaurant alone with the girl I like and it not being a date was even worse.

The whole reason I invited her was so that I could convince her that she had a beautiful smile.

First I had to make her laugh, then I would give her some cheesy pep talk. Flawless plan, I know. But it was hard watching her be so insecure so I wanted to do something about it.

My heart skipped as I noticed her figure approaching.

"Hey, Kirishima!" she called, jogging up to me.

"Hi, Y/N." I greeted "After you."

I gestured towards the door and she walked in, closely followed by me.

It wasn't long before we were eating our ramen and chatting away about our day.

"I can't believe Ectoplasm gave us so much homework!" she sighed.

"Yeah, I'll have to stay up late to finish it all." I added.

Quick, say something funny!

"Hey, do you know where Hawks got his quirk?" I asked her suddenly, a smile tugging at my lips.

"His parents...?" she guessed uncertainly.

"Nope!" I smiled "He drank a Red bull!"

Just as I had hoped, Y/N snorted at my stupid joke, then reflexively covered her mouth.

"Y/N?" I asked her, lowering my voice ever so slightly "Why do you always cover your mouth when you laugh?"

She frowned, not looking me in the eye.

"Oh... Well, um... I don't know, it's just a bad habit I guess..." she answered, fidgeting with the  sleeve of her shirt.

"Is it because you're insecure of it?" I asked straightforwardly.

Her eyes widened slightly but she nodded.

"You know, I used to hate my smile too." I told her "I didn't like my pointy teeth at all. I thought I looked like some kind of monster. But then, a friend of mine told me they thought my teeth looked cool. And ever since then, so have I!"

I smiled widely, showing off all my shark-like teeth.

"Maybe you need someone to do the same for you." I finished.

She finally looked up at me, a small smile gracing her lips.

"Y/N." I said "I think your smile is amazing. Braces and all. It's beautiful and you shouldn't cover it up."

Her cheeks were dusted with pink as she asked:

"Do you really think so?"

"Always have!" I grinned.

Y/N grinned back, and this time she didn't hide it. She smiled wide, showing her happiness and her braces.

I felt my heart rate increase. Her smile really was beautiful.

"I owe you one, Kirishima." she said thankfully "You're amazing! You always know what to say."

"Well, actually... There was something else I wanted to ask you..." I said, rubbing the back of my neck nervous as my face grew warmer.

"Sure, anything!" she smiled.

"Would you maybe interested in... going out with me?"

Her face lit up and she joyfully answered:

"Yes!!"

We both smiled at eachother, both thinking the other had the most beautiful smile on earth.
