As a PR worker for the Heroes Association, you're constantly surrounded by pro heroes. Some of them are exactly as you'd expect—big personalities that can be a bit much. You've encountered your fair share of difficult ones, the ones you’d rather not have to deal with again, but there are also plenty who make your job easier, even enjoyable. After all, these people are heroes—most of them are bound to be kindhearted, right?
You know it’s probably a little unprofessional, but you can’t help it—you’ve developed favorites. It’s human nature, after all, and you’re no exception. If you’re being honest with yourself, your absolute favorite is Red Riot—Eijiro Kirishima. He’s an absolute gem, and everything you’d ever hope a hero would be. Beyond his strong, confident persona, he’s always genuinely kind, never hesitating to give you feedback, offer a laugh, or just chat casually. It’s refreshing to interact with someone who treats you like a person instead of a machine who just hands out orders. Over time, you’ve come to think of him as more than just a colleague. He feels like a friend—though sometimes you wonder if that’s just his natural charm.
Recently, though, you’ve started to question whether your feelings for him might be more than friendly. You’ve been getting increasingly excited to see him, perhaps a little too much. When you do see him, it’s like the world fades away—leaving just you two in your little office. No matter how bad your day is, one conversation with Kirishima can turn it completely around. It's like an automatic mood shift that you can't explain.
Today, for example, you’re sitting at your desk, grinning like a fool, eagerly awaiting his arrival. Your day had been rough, but just the thought of seeing him at his usual time—exactly on the dot for his meeting—has put a smile on your face. You try to calm yourself, but the anticipation only grows. He’s just that guy who makes everything brighter, and it’s becoming increasingly hard to ignore the fluttering in your chest whenever he’s around.
