Mirio

Tamaki opened the door and I quickly stood up and dusted myself off.

Smile, it'll be okay.

But it was harder than I thought.

"Tama! Hey, just needed to take a quick rain check, now let's get you fixed up!-" I began.

"No-" He muttered, his eyes stunk on the floor.

"What's wrong? Don't walk too much! I'll fix you up right no-"

"It's- not that!" He exclaimed. "Stop trying to be the person I want! You're the best I have, and I don't want to lose it! Why are you trying to hard to make me happy when you do every single day?!"

The blow up caught me off guard, my eyes widened and I got quiet.

"I'm sorry but," He sighed. "I will never see you differently.."

He ran a hand through his hair and blushed softly. "When you show your emotions like that..it shows me that you aren't just a pretty face.."

"You think I'm pretty?" I asked in shock.

He quickly looked away before getting embarrassed. "Ah-"

"C'mon, let's finish this.." I assured, smiling. "I know it hurts."

"Oh..okay.." He muttered, before sighing.

"I'm sorry for yelling..you just weren't listening." He muttered back.

"No, no it's alright! I needed that."

"..."

Tamaki sat back on the stool, his body stiff and forced up. I shouldn't have said all that stuff to him, he's got enough on his mind.

He lifted his leg slightly, and I looked up at him, asking for permission. He nodded softly and I smiled at his shyness.

I took his foot and held it up, while the other hand got the antibiotic. "This..might hurt okay?"

"...o-ok.."

I applied the antibiotic, making sure all the wounds were inspected. Tamaki winced and whined softly, his hands pressing down on the stool.

"If- If it hurts that's means it's working okay?" I called, trying to lighten the situation. He just seemed to drown me out and think about the pain even more.

"Tama!" I say, as he then looked at me with a painful expression.

"Remember in 3rd grade, when you transferred to my class?" I asked, trying to distract him.

"M-Mhm.."

"And you were so incredible up there, you know that? I went up to you and asked who your favorite hero was because I was interested in you! We were all amazed, and do you know how you caught my attention?"

"I..don't know. How?"

"Your ears! And your eyes!.." I slowly held the other foot and applied it the same way.

He was invested in what I was saying, and there seemed to be less pain in his eyes. He laughed softly and his body get more used to me being around. He was..getting comfortable.

I smiled and continued.

"I guess I could say those are some of the things I noticed about you, but I started to like other things too!"

"You're just saying that.."

"No, it's true, really!"

I slid my hands against the arch of his foot, dressing the wound with guaze. I did the same for the other until it was stable enough to walk in. I smiled and sighed.

"I'd hate to see these get worse, so if you don't mind, I'd really be more comfortable if you stayed at my house," I put all the aid kit things away,"Just for a little bit. I don't want you to stay in that house alone."

"I don't mind.." He placed his hands on his thighs and nodded. "If your dad doesn't mind.."

"Oh, he won't! He loves when I have friends over!" I exclaimed.

I felt my heart get faster, and it skipped a nervous beat. He's..coming to my house..

"O-Oh-" Tamaki began, standing up. He shuffled a bit at the new feeling and looked down.

I carefully grab his arm. "Can you walk?"

"I- I could..don't worry."

"Hm.." I hummed, sliding my hand into his. I squeezed it gently and led the way outside.

I made sure to close and lock the door as Nejire wanted.

The raven hair followed behind, his face getting redder with each step.

Once we made it out of UA, Nejire ran over and gave the two of us a big hug.

"My favorite people in the wholeeeee worlddd!!!" She squealed.

I laughed and hugged back. "You too! We closed it as you wanted, here!" I handed the keys to her as she smirked.

She gave a look to Tamaki before dragging me aside.

"So?" She whispered to me.

"So, what?"

"Is it offical?" She hinted to me, glancing at Tamaki before looking back at me.

I gave her a weird look and she gasped loudly. "YOU HAVEN'T?!"

I chuckled. "If you mean Tama's injuries, then they're okay! He's staying at my place to rest!"

"Oh my God, Togata, you are slow as heck!" She hissed. "I thought you wanted the room so you two can.." She paused and looked at me.

"Huh-"

"You know what? Not my business! You'll figure it out!" She states, yawning softly. "Gotta go! See you later guys!" She called before walking off.

What the..

"What was that about?.." Tamaki asked.

"Eh, just regular Nejire per usual." I went over and grabbed Tamaki's hand before leading the way to my house.

°●°●°●°●°●°●°

"Right- here?" Tamaki asked, standing beside the bed while fidgeting with his fingers.

I threw the rest of my clothes in one of the drawers.

My room is such a mess..

"Yeah! Don't worry, nothing is going to hurt you!"

"That's not what I'm worried about..it's just- I feel like I'm intruding into your business.."

"Oh no, that's not true!" I explained, shutting the drawers closed. I sighed and stood up, glancing down at him. "Sit! I don't mind one bit!"

Tamaki slowly sat down, I frowned slightly. He was on the very edge, keeping himself as small as possible.

"Tsk, Tama that won't do-" I shook my head and chuckled. "Stop joking around and sit! I really don't care! I only cleaned because of you!"

"Do you..think your dad hates me? Maybe I should go home.." Tamaki murmured, looking at the ground.

I scoffed and quickly grabbed his shoulders, pressing him against the bed. He gasped and looked up at me, as I was on top of him. I frowned and kicked his legs up on the bed too. He tensed up and pushed his knees up.

"Relax. That's an order." I state sternly.

"M-Mirio.." He blushed brightly.

"Relax. Take a deep breath, and calm down." I hushed.

He took a deep breath, and kept his eyes on mine. A warmth feeling rose to my face, this position..it wasn't normal was it?

For friends to do..something so strange..

Tamaki rose on his elbows and leaned in, pressing his forehead against mine. Instinctly, I slid my hands in his hair, stroking it softly as my eyes darted from his lips to his eyes. He blinked a few times before closing them. I did the same, his breath matching with mine. We stayed this for a while, until he went a little closer.

His lips grazed my own..
