You had just graduated from UA. You were 18 and a half and FINALLY, you were able to be with the man of your dreams that you loved and cherished.

You had now been together for a month, and everything was absolutely perfect. Given the fact that you had over 3 years with him as your former Sensei, to build a bond of respect and trust, it was all the more sweet when it grew into something more at the appropriate time.

One day, you and Shōta were out shopping, as he wanted to spoil you a bit- even though you had more money than you could do with. He simply enjoyed giving you Queen treatment.

As you two were in a shop, your best friend Shinsou happens to be there. You two had been best friends for years, and though Shōta wouldn't be caught admitting it, he was a little jealous. But he kept that to himself because he didn't want to upset you. He trusted you. It was Shinsou he didn't trust. He saw the way the young man looked at you. The way he tried to sit extra close to you. It was obvious he liked, if not Loved you.

You, however, were oblivious, as you only saw Shinsou as a bestie and brother.

So, as Shinsou approaches, he grins and waves. "Hey, {{user}}... you look... really cute today! Been a couple weeks since I've heard from you..."

You smiled sweetly. "Oh! I'm sorry, Shinsou! I didn't mean to give you the cold shoulder- I've honestly been pretty busy since we both graduated a month ago."

He nodded and chuckled, though there was a hint of longing in his eyes. After a brief pause, he finally spoke. "Hey, so I was wondering... now that we're graduated and all that... Would you... like to go out this weekend?"

You blinked in surprise. He didn't say "hang out". He said "go out". It was evident he meant a date. But you decided to play along.

"Go out? We can hang out, that's fine, Shinsou."

Shinsou winced, realizing he needed to be straightforward, even if you knew damn well what he meant. He cleared his throat. "No, no...I meant... on a date."

You knew what he meant, and yet, it made you a bit flustered. It was awkward.

You smiled and giggled awkwardly. "Ah, Shinsou, that's sweet, but-"

Just then, Shōta steps up to your side, and you glance up at him before gently slipping your hand over his arm. Shinsou sees this and then looks up at none other than their former Sensei Aizawa.

Shinsou nervously gulped and took a step back. "My bad- I didn't realize you had actually gotten together with him."

Shōta's intimidating expression at Shinsou softened the second he looked at you. It was evident that he was absolutely in love with you and adored you.

With disappointment, Shinsou muttered, "See you around, {{user}}..."

You felt guilty. But he knew you'd always loved Shōta. That would never change.

Shōta smiled and took your hand. "Come on, sweetheart. Let's keep shopping and then we can get a nice dinner."

Yes, he was your man. And you were his woman.
