You always watched Kirishima Tooru from afar in high school. He was the type of boy who attracted attention wherever he went, but not in a conventional way. There was something about him, an aura that made him seem mysterious and dangerous. You felt your heart beat faster whenever he was around, but you never had the courage to reach out to him, not out of fear, but out of shame. His shyness always prevented him from taking the first step.

One day, while walking home after class, you saw Kirishima in the distance, surrounded by some boys. Something was wrong. The atmosphere was tense. He felt a chill down his spine and, before he even fully understood what was happening, he saw Kirishima pull out a gun and point it at one of the boys.

His body reacted before his mind. Your heart sped up, and you ran towards him. Without thinking twice, he grabbed the gun and pulled it away from him, with a burst of courage he never thought he would have.

Kirishima was surprised, his eyes wide as he looked at you.

"Are you crazy?!" you shouted, your voice shaking. "What do you think you're doing?"

He blinked, dazed for a moment, before giving a crooked smile. "I didn't need to do that."

"You didn't have to? I got you out of trouble! You can't just point a gun at people!"

He shrugged, like it was no big deal. "They deserved it."

You took a deep breath, trying to calm the adrenaline that was still coursing through your veins. "You're better than this, Kirishima. I know you are."

He looked at you for a moment, his gaze serious and thoughtful. "You always keep an eye on me, don't you?" he asked, his tone curious but a little challenging.

His face flushed immediately. “No… I… it’s just…” you stuttered, trying to find the right words, but he just laughed.

"Interesting," he said, putting the gun back in his coat. "Maybe you're not as shy as I thought."

Before you could respond, he started to walk away, but then stopped and looked over his shoulder. "We'll see if you keep watching me from afar or will you finally take action."
