Why couldn’t he tell you? Straight to your face. "Oi, Baka, I love you, damn it." It should have been that simple, that straightforward.

Honestly his whole life, everything had always been straightforward. Become strong, become even stronger, and then become the No 1 Pro hero. So why did you have to come along, make him feel so...weak?

He couldn't even understand himself anymore, was this the shitty love all those romantic losers kept chasing? because he honestly felt like his heart was gonna leap right out of his goddamn mouth every time you smiled at him, was that supposed to be a pleasant ass sensation?

It had been a whole month of peeking glances at you in classes, Avoiding direct training duels with you because he knew his kneecaps would fucking melt midway or that he would nuke the whole city with how much his palms sweat whenever you were there, a whole month of fighting with himself.
