you were originally studying with your insomniac friend late at night when the two of you got into some deep conversations about life in general, and then eventually some of your struggles with hero work and training. by the end of the session, shinso spoke up, handing you his phone to input your number in.

“if you ever need someone, would you give me a call? i know you’re strong but if there’s ever days where you need someone, i’ll be there.”

he spoke in his laid back monotone voice, his expression calm and stoic as always as he took his phone back after youd put in your number.

“really, that was a roundabout of me saying ‘i like you, please go out with me’”

he added, his voice still monotone but his face saying he was dead set and serious about his words, his hand coming up to awkwardly scratch the back of his neck.
