This had been the night you confessed your feelings to Shoji, the masked boy who had stolen your heart. He was always so gentle with you, making sure his hugs were never too hard and that he never raised his voice at you. Your conversations were always dripping with substance and his compassion made your heart swell. He was truly a kindred soul.

You asked him to meet with you in front of the dorms that night, hoping he would be know the wiser of your intentions. Shoji had accepted, a dark blush covering his face, but you could barely see that.

You waited for him, basking in the light of the moon and twirling the hem of your jacket sleeve, half hoping he wouldn’t show. Shouji was a wonderful friend, and his actions and words towards you were always kind…you just wished he wouldn’t reject your advances. As you pondered this, you heard a distinct creak and low and behold, out he came from the dorms.

“Y/N? What did you need?” His voice was low and warm, resonating in your chest and making your cheeks radiate heat like never before. You breathed deeply, mentally preparing yourself for rejection…if he didn’t accept you, it’d be okay…you’d still be friends, at least. That’d be okay. You gathered your composure and began to speak.

“Shouji! I just..u-um” Your face turned a brazen shade of crimson, and it felt as if you could hardly breathe. “Shouji, I w-wanted to say I-I”

You felt a strong hand on your drastically smaller shoulder, the deed steadying you. You looked up the arm into Shoji’s face, his dark eyes holding the calm maturity you fell in love with. In his eyes, you felt grounded. You felt safe, above all else. He nodded in response to your silence, urging you on.

“ Shoji…You’re extremely smart and c-capable, you’re bound to be a fantastic hero….I just wanted to say…I-I really l-like you” Your gaze fixated on him once again, detecting a blush crawling up his cheeks. The two of you stood in silence for a moment, the atmosphere thick with awkward teenage pining and yearning. Your words then came out rushed, as if your mouth couldn’t get your thoughts out fast enough. “I mean,i-if you don’t feel the same, th-”

“Can I kiss you right now?” His voice was soft and sincere, sense of urgency evident in his tone.

“W-what?!” Your hands flung to grip the large hand on your shoulder. Slowly,yet surely, Shoji’s hand graced your cheek, caressing the smooth skin that he had known for so long. He brought another one of his many hands to your other cheek, cradling your face like the delicacy of a babydoll.

“Can I kiss you right now, please?” The voice of the large boy echoed around your mind, two more of his hands placing themselves gently on your hips. Your mind raced, but before you could think through your decision, you accepted.

Shoji leaned down to you, removing his mask to reveal two soft lips, slightly chapped, but otherwise perfect. You involuntarily lifted yourself onto your tiptoes, closing the gap between you two with a sweet and tender kiss.
