Sero. February 13th. 18:00.
All us guys are in the change room after evening training. Bakugo and Midoriya are being disgustingly cute with each other, Mineta is crying about them being lovey-dovey, Kaminari and Shinso are planning to surprise Jirou with a present, Iida is helping Tokoyami choose flowers for Asui. All around, the usual chaos of the day before valentines day. I, however, am watching my boyfriend get changed. Weird, I know, but hear me out. His hair is messed up in the way that the middle looks pink and he has a tiny smile on his face from finally being able to harness both sides of his quirk at once. I couldn’t be more proud of him, seriously. However, little to his knowledge, I have my own idea for a valentines day surprise, since he’s never had a boyfriend during this period.
“Yo Sero! Stop staring at Todoroki!” Kirishima shouts “We know you like him but damn”
That quickly gets me out of my thoughts and I quickly finish pulling my hoodie over my binder, my face flushing red from embarrassment. The rest of the room laughs, since this isn’t the first time, other than Shoto, who just looks up and tilts his head like a little bird before he finally asks the question i knew he was thinking.
“Why is everyone laughing?”
I sigh before grabbing my bag and heading over to him. I kiss his cheek before dropping my voice to a whisper.
“Would you believe me if I said I had a tit slip?”
Shoto chuckles a bit at the kiss before looking back at me.
“I wouldn’t. Let me guess, you were staring at me?”
I just sigh. He’s too smart. “Maybe…”
“Creep.”
“Sho!” I look at the other boys “Who taught him how to meme without me?"
Kaminari raises his hand, so does Kirishima. Of course it’s them.
“He needed to know how!” Kaminari basically squeals
“It’s common knowledge Serbro” Kirishima nods like it actually is common knowledge.
I roll my eyes, taking Shoto’s hand to head back to the dorms.
Todoroki. February 13th. 18:15.
Everything’s confusing. Like why does everyone laugh when Hanta looks at me in the change room? Why don't people like that Hanta isn’t a cisgendered man? Why is Aizawa tired when Present Mic swears he sleeps 8 hours? Why my father isn’t in jail? Why, why, why. Nothing really ever makes sense. And that’s what I've been telling Hanta during our whole walk to the dorms.
“Why is Valentine's Day on the 14th?”
“I think it’s something to do with a saint or something”
Hanta’s hand is warm. The calluses feel strong, which I know they are.
“Ok now, why was Mineta crying?”
Hanta laughs before he responds. “Because he’s surrounded by gays and people smarter than him”
My mouth forms an O, since I don't know what to say. This in turn makes Hanta laugh.
“You’re cute, Roki”
My heart skips a beat. I know it didn’t but it feels like it did. Which is weird since we’ve been dating for a while now and he always calls me a nickname, like Sho, Roki, babe, baby (there’s a difference apparentally), and sometimes he calls me Shoho, which i know is a play on Soho, which means “the basics” even if Hanta swears i’m not basic, who knows what that means. I keep thinking about those things and all the other random things in my head as I let Hanta guide me.
“Yo, earth to Sho, i repeat, earth to Sho”
My head snaps back up and I blush again, finally noticing that we’re now in Hanta’s room, which is right next to mine. Hanta pulls me to sit down on the hammock, even if it’s more me lying on top of him. I like this position since I can cuddle my head under his chin. We stay like that for a while, just letting the hammock sway under our weight as he tells me about how his new binder has been feeling. It had been made so he could wear it while training since it adjusts to never be too tight against his chest and ribs. I like listening to his voice, it’s calming and makes me feel safe. Hanta makes me feel safe.
Sero. February 13th. 22:10.
Dinner was uneventful. Then Mina said class movie night, we all said yes and that’s what’s happening now. It’s a romance that I don't really care for and somehow it’s still going on. Honestly, Mina will probably put another movie on and none of us will be in bed before midnight. I don’t really care since I'm cuddling Shoto, he’s warm and cold so it’s a bit weird but I love it. I’ll probably set it up soon. I really need to set up.
23:40.
I carefully get out from under Shoto. The movie is still playing and he’s too invested to notice that I'm leaving. I quickly run upstairs to set up. I hope he likes this…
Todoroki. February 14th. 00:18.
I just noticed Hanta is gone. That sucks. But the movie was long and he doesn’t like romance movies that much, plus it’s pretty late but i wished he would’ve told me about him leaving. I just suck it up however and I head up to my room. Once on my floor, I see a small light coming from my room. Weird. I thought I had turned off my lights before dinner…
Sero. February 14th. 00:27.
I quickly get into my position after setting up the last part of my surprise. I can hear him coming! I stop for a second, I take a deep breath, I open my eyes, I get ready. It’s showtime.
Todoroki. February 14th. 00:30.
Yes, I've been in the hallway for 3 minutes. I’ve been questioning my life and why my lights are on. Hey, another ‘why’ to add to the list. I quickly shake myself out of it and I head to my room, opening the door to see Hanta hanging upside down in my room by his own tape, with a couple plushies (of cats and one of a soba bowl) on my bed, and a small basket of my favorite candies. My eyes widen, so does my smile and I go up to him, seeing his grin from afar.
“Took you long enough, Sho”
I smile softly, pressing a kiss to his lips, since he obviously wanted a spiderman kiss as we’d come to call it. After pulling back I whisper to him.
“Is this what valentines day is about?” He smiles that tiny smile that matches mine.
“Yeah, Sho, it is. Do you like it?”
“I don’t like it, I love it. Just like I love you, Hanta.”
Hanta’s eyes sparkle and he kisses me again, still in the spiderman pose. As we kiss he cuts his tape, jumping to being right-side up. When we break away again, he rests his forehead on mine.
“I love you too, my Shoto.” Yeah, there might be a lot of whys’ in life but this is something i know, i love Hanta Sero, and he loves me. Also, that valentines day is amazing so long as my boyfriend plans it.
