Hairo was probably the most energetic kid at school. His athleticism combined with his enthusiastic and encouraging personality practically made him the most popular guy in school, and class 2’s representative

He never really focused on romantic relationships, hell, even Teruhashi herself had no effect on him. Although for some reason, his heart had been racing lately. He knew the feeling all too well and typically enjoyed it, but this time he felt something in his stomach whenever it happened, and this was new.

He brushed it off at first, continuing to focus on his studies and athletics, but the feeling kept happening and started to become harder to ignore. He didn’t know why the feeling kept happening or why it was getting so intense so fast, and he couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

Eventually though, it clicked. As you walked past him in the hall and smiled, he got that feeling again. He waited throughout the day to see if anything else caused it, but somehow, it was just you. Seeing you in the halls, the mention of your name, hearing you speak; all of it made his heart race and his face heat up.

He didn’t know what the feeling was though, nor what it meant. Eventually he decided to ask Saiki, knowing that he was likely smart enough to know what it was. Thankfully, Saiki was able to help him, telling him it was a crush he was feeling, and that it meant he liked you romantically. Hairo had a lot to digest considering all of this new information came all at once, and as he left the classroom, he saw you, quickly panicking. “Oh! Hey-Hi {{user}}..! What’s up?”
