"What?" You shake your head wondering if you heard correctly, still a little sleepy.

"I like you too." He repeated confidently.

"Huh? What? But before..."

"I didn't know that you meant you had romantic feelings towards me back then. I'm sorry for the way I treated you." He bowed.

"Huh?" You were just so disoriented, everything was happening so fast. "So why did you ignore me before?" You leaned on your door frame, a lot more chill about the whole situation than Shoto expected.

"Well, I was getting advice from Izuku whe-"

"Nevermind I can see where this is going." You chuckled a yawn, still slightly drowsy. "So what now?" You asked, not knowing where he was going with all of this.

"I'm not sure..." He looked confused and indecisive. "But can I ask you something?" He began seriously as he turned his attention towards you.

"Sure..."

"Can I kiss you?" Your eyes widened just the slightest bit, you felt your stomach do flips and you could feel the heat rise up into your cheeks.

"I- I...Um..." You didn't know what to say but he just kept staring into your eyes waiting patiently for your response. You gulped and slowly nodded your head. He was careful, as if he didn't want to mess it up. He got closer to you and placed his hands on your shoulders as he leaned in, keeping his eyes on your lips. Your heart was beating incredibly fast, it almost worried you if not for his lips that finally pressed up against yours.

You were panicking internally, that's for sure,

But when he gently moved his hands to cup your face you slowly started to melt into the kiss and reciprocated his feelings. Shoto couldn't help but smile once you two parted looking flushed.

"We can start from here." He chuckled lightly, still holding your face gently. You were speechless and didn't know how to react.

"Yeah, I think we can." You smiled softly towards him, making his heart beat faster and faster by the second. You laughed lightly and looked away all flustered by his actions.

"So is this a good time to ask you to be my girlfriend?" He asked honestly not knowing how any of this goes. You pulled him into a hug and buried your face in the crook of his neck.

"Yeah, and I'd love to." Words can't describe how ecstatic or elated he was. Things were starting to turn around for the best and he was so happy it was you who turned his world around.

You two stood there, enjoying each other's company but then you pulled away from him. "Look, I'm really happy and all about this, us, but, can I go back to sleep?" Shoto couldn't wipe the smile he had on his face as he looked at you, still wondering why the hell you had fallen for him of all people even though he's really glad you did.

"Sure," He was about to reach out and fix your hair but he decided not to, not wanting to make you feel uncomfortable. "Get a good rest." He leaned forward and gave you one last kiss on your lips. "I'll come by tomorrow morning to pick you up, is that okay?"

"Perfect." You smiled and waved as you slowly closed the door.

Now how the hell am I supposed to sleep?!

-

You yawned as your alarm rang, you really didn't get any sleep so you were still tired out. But you knew you couldn't skip classes so you had to get ready and just as you were about to teleport to class you remembered Shoto told you he would pick you up.

There was a knock at the door as if you had summoned him somehow. You got your bag and went out. "You ready?" He asked.

"Yup!" You slipped up and ended up yawning, making Shoto chuckle.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep well after that either." You blushed hearing his comment and turned towards the elevator.

"We should hurry." It was a short walk from the dorms and Shoto thought it would be a good time to start off by holding your hand. You tensed up when he took your hand in his, making him retract his actions.

"Is it uncomfortable?" He asked, always concerned about how you felt.

"No no! It's fine! I was just caught off guard." You reached over and took his hand in yours. "It's nice." You smiled at him and he reflected your expression.

"So are you okay with telling everyone we're together?" You brought your attention back to Shoto.

"Well, they're gonna find out eventually, there's no use in hiding it." You said honestly, knowing there was no way around it.

"Alright then." He intertwined his fingers with yours. "We should get going." You felt your heart start beating faster as you took every step closer towards the door. You were internally panicking and decided it was better to rip off the bandaid and just,

Class A-1!

You two appeared aways away from the classroom door and Shoto looked at you with his head cocked to one side, confused as ever.

"Sorry! I panicked." He couldn't help but let out a chuckle. You felt your face heat up seeing that gentle smile he would sport when he was around you, something you knew he wouldn't do around anyone. You two kept on your merry way and Mina noticed you two walking inside.

"Hey Y/n! So what did-!" She stopped mid-sentence when she noticed your hand in Shoto's and you swore you had gone deaf from her squeals.

"FINALLY!" She cheered obviously catching everyone's attention. Even the guys were then and they were stunned to see you casually holding hands with Shoto.

"I'm so happy for you Y/n!" Shouted Ochaco as she pounced on you, tumbling you to the ground making you let go of Shoto, she with one of her biggest hugs and couldn't stop giggling.

"Thanks, Ochaco. I sill want to breathe through." She laughed and helped you up. "I kinda don't want to make a big deal out of this, let's all just get ready for class to start." You said wanting to change the subject if not your face would explode from how red it was getting.

"So how did everything turn out for you and Midoriya?" Shoto asked honestly curious.

"Oh... Well, we... um sorted things out. I guess you could say we're on the same boat as you guys." She chuckled nervously.

"Really?! So where is that broccoli head! I've gotta congratulate him!" You looked around and noticed he was missing.

"He and Bakugou are under House arrest." She answered with a sweatdrop.

"Huh? Why? What the hell did those two do?!"

"Watch your language Y/n." Aizawa warned as he entered the classroom. "Katsuki is under house arrest for 4 days, Izuku for 3. Let's get started everyone."

Classes went on as usual, with hero practices and all. Since you found out Izuku and bomb boy was grounded you decided to write down important info to relay back to him later on.

The days passed and Aizawa kept telling you to keep your mouth shut about classes to the guys but you kept doing as you pleased. Once their house arrest was over Aizawa was finally talking about the new work studies.

"Now, there are some students here to give an introduction." He began. "Please come in."

You turned your attention towards the door as it slid open to reveal three people. "We'll have people who experienced it first hand tell you about how these are different from the internships, listen carefully." You watched as Izuku almost exploded from shock but just kinda sat there lost.

Who are they?

Aizawa began to explain that they were known as 'The big three'.
