âYouâre my bestfriend⊠how did I fall in love with you?â I nee all the Sero fluff in the world
LITERALLY SO CUTE OKAY, sorry its so long i had so much fun writing this
You went to middle school with Kirishima and Mina. Meaning that you had known them for a while now. Even though you had known them, you came into UA with an open mind and making new friends and meeting new people. Your class was an uneven number so when you found your seat wedged in between Bakugo and MIdoriya you were afraid of how you would make new friends. Midoriya seemed very kind, but anytime Bakugo slightly turned his head to give him a distasteful look, he would silence himself immediately and not talk to you for the rest of the day.
Around the third day of being at UA you were really giving up on finding any new friends at all, and just maintaining your friendships with Mina and Kirishima; when the boy who had been sitting next to you turned in his chair. He smiled at you with incredibly straight teeth and began to make jokes on how you never got to talk to anyone due to the person in front of you being such a menace. You found yourself lighting up immediately and joining in on his poking fun at Bakugo. You two laughed as Kirishima joined in, sitting next to Sero, which only enraged Bakugo more. From that day forth, people always knew wherever one of you were to go, the other would be quick to follow.
Your feelings of trust and care grew for each other even more after the USJ incident. Sero was left at the main entrance as you were transported to another area with Bakugo and Kirishima. The entire time as you were fighting villains all you could think about was how he was doing, and if he was okay. Needless to say, you were relieved when you saw him after everything was over with.
You ran towards him when you saw him with all of the energy that was left in your body. He was okay, no one had hurt him and he was still standing. Thats all you needed to know about today, right now nothing else mattered. He tightened his arms around you once you made contact with his body. He let his head fall against your shoulder and held you like you may break.
âI was so worried about you.â He said while bunching his hands in the back of your costume. You grasped onto his back and held him close.
âI know, me too.â You said into your shoulder.
âHey! Soy Sauce Face!â You heard Bakugoâs voice ring out above everyone elseâs. You turned around looking at him as he looked over you at Sero.
âTake care of your girl, she couldnât stop muttering about how she just needed to find you over and over, it was super annoying.â He said while crossing his arms. Sero smiled and said something along the lines about how Bakugo was lucky that you were with him. To which Bakugo got the same pissed off look in his eyes which you two were so used to seeing at this point, and began to yell. Luckily after today, he did have more of a respect for you, so you and your friend were able to run away.
As time progressed the more you two learned about each other the more comfortable everything became. You started out the year being friends and had grown into a bond that would never break no matter what. Atleast thatâs what you hoped as you stood outside of Seroâs room. He had become your bestfriend, your number one confidant and the only person that you were 100% yourself around at all times of the day. You had worked together through many different tasks throughout the two and a half years of knowing each other and found that there was no one else that you would want to work with. You were in your third year now, and you felt like today may be the only time you would have enough courage to finally tell him how you truly felt.
Over the last few years you had found yourself knowing Sero like the back of your hand. He started off as being your closest friend and then became your best friend, but it grew into something more for you. Unlike Kirishima, your affection for Sero never grew into a brotherly love. It simply just turned into love. You found yourself engulfed by the feelings more often than not anymore, and you thought he was starting to notice. Everyone already had in your close friend group. Hell even Kaminari had pulled you aside to ask you about it.
âSooOOOoo howâs your day?â You had asked him.
âDo you like Sero!?â He asked looking at you with those excitable eyes. You choked on the water you were drinking at the time. He patted your back and looked at you with curious eyes.
âI mean yeah heâs my best friend,â You told him looking anywhere but his eyes. He rolled his own and stopped the conversation moving on to the next subject tat caught his interest, seeing that you werenât going to confirm your feelings for him anytime soon.
You were brought back to the present as someone shoved your shoulder lightly. âWell Baka! Are you going to go in? Theyâre all waiting!â Bakugo said while looking down at you. You stuttered as he pulled the door open revealing that Sero wasnât alone. The whole group was there to your dismay. With final exams coming up and all of you moving on to the bigger parts of your lives, you had forgotten that tonight all of you were hanging out just you six. Being a school night Bakugo refused to let anyone drink so it seemed that reminiscing on old times would just have to do.
âY/N!â Sero cried looking up at you with bright eyes and the smile that could make your heart stop. He had such beautiful smile, eyes, hair, face, arm- âAre you going to come inside orrrr?â He said looking at you with a teasing hint in his eyes now. You smiled, knowing that now was not the right time to tell him and barged into the room to have a good night with your friends- and crush.
âOkay, that was a good one but!â You screamed out âDo you remember when Sero and Kaminari had a battle on who could get the microwave to start from the furthest point?â The room filled with laughter as the scene came back into all of your minds.
âOf course I do!â Sero cried, âI still want a rematch! You cheated and you know it! If I knew we were allowed to use quirks then I wouldnât have even gotten into the bet with you!â He threw his arms up into the air exasperatedly as Kaminari cackled across the room. You looked around at your closest friends and wish that nothing would ever change. The people you were the most close to were in this room. You hoped they would always be as close with you as they were now. Your eyes trailed over to Sero who was in a now heated arguement with Kaminari. You observed the way that his cheeks moved anytime he laughed, or how his forehead would scrunch the slightest bit anytime he would get frustrated with something Kaminari would say. Little to your knowing, everyone but Sero was watching you admire the boy and slowly they all made eye contact with each other, getting the same idea in their heads.
âWell, would you look at the timeâ Kirishima said, faking a yawn. âI really should go to sleep since we have that extensive training tomorrow and all, right Bakugo?â
âYeah I should go to sleep too, Iâm going to need to get my sleep schedule back in track for when Iâm a kick-ass sidekick!â Mina said winking your way. You were lost at first, seeing as how it was only 9:30, until that wink. You felt your whole face heat up as you knew what your friends were doing. Those b*tches were setting you up!
âAre you sure you have to go to bed?â You asked grinding your teeth together looking at Kaminari with pitiful eyes. âYou normally stay up so much later than this!â He smiled at you wickedly.
âNah, I really should be off, need to get that good rest and all if Iâm going to kick your ass tomorrow in training.â
You felt absolutely betrayed as your friends filed out of the room one by one, each giving you a look of âNOW DO IT NOWâ, which made you feel even more horrified. Sero looked absolutely dumbfounded on why his room was packed with his friends two minutes ago and now it was just you and him sitting on your bed. He brushed it off soon enough though and turned to you, looking at you with his dark eyes.
âSo, now that the peanut gallery is gone, remember when it was just you and me against the world?â He asked reaching out to grasp your hand in his own. This was nothing new for you two seeing as how being best-friends both of you often turned to one another for physical comfort. Your heart still spiked at his contact though, as you nodded your head at his question.
âThose were the good old days. When we didnât have to worry about Kaminari getting beaten up by a pack of girls because of something Mineta dragged him into. Or when we could make fun of Kirishima about his manliness without him having to go on a full Red-Riot rant towards us about chivalry.â You said looking up at him you smile growing at the memories. âYouâve always been my other half Sero.â You say waiting for the right time to tell him how you felt.
At those words something seemed to ignite within him. He straightened his back and looked at you with a more serious gaze. You were confused, did you say something wrong, was he hurt by something you said? He seemed⊠nervous?
âYou know Y/N, since the day I reached over to talk to you, seeing as how you were pathetically going to spend your whole UA career in silence if I didnât,â You shoved his shoulder and laughed as he teased you, âIâve always known that I was going to get something great out of our relationship. You mean the world to me and then some, you truly have become my bestfriend.â He paused his own words and seemed to collect himself. You watched him inquisitively, wondering where he was going with this. Finally, he took a deep breath and looked down at you. âI keep thinking about when it happened and really I canât seem to differentiate, from a time when it was and when it wasnât. It seems like I always kind of knew but never really had the capacity to realize it. It s a question thats been racking my mind for years now and I kept constantly asking myself over and over, Youâre my bestfriendâŠ. How did I fall in love with you?â He looked down at your hands which were grasped together in their embrace.
You felt your words you wanted to say stuck in your throat. He said it. He had finally broken the barrier both of you had been dancing around now for years. There was no more denying how you felt for one another. He meant the world to you and you him. Sero seemed to be waiting for an answer as he anxiously drew circles into the skin on your hand. You grabbed his face and lifted it to have his eyes meet yours.Â
âSero...â You said your eyes flickering down to his lips. âIâve loved you ever since the day I thought I could lose you. The thought of losing you so early, when we had had no time to get to know each other like we do now, was the worst feeling ever. What I said is still true, you're my other half, a-a-and I love you.â You said nervously fidgeting with the hair that had fallen in between his face and your hand. He reached his hand up to grab your own on his face and stilled it, looking at you deep in your eyes. It felt like he could read every single emotion that you were feeling. With how well he knew you, he probably could. He leaned down to touch his forehead to yours.Â
âY/N..â He said trailing off to look at you.
âJust kiss me already idiot.â You said laughing softly. So, he did kiss you. He reached behind your head to lace his fingers within your hair and pulled you close. There was a moment of hesitation between you two before your lips touched, knowing everything was about to change the second that this happened.Â
Then, he kissed you. His lips were so warm against your own. You sighed into the kiss and leaned into the dance that you two were creating, You felt so whole, and happy. As good of a friend as he was, he was an even better kisser. He leaned you back into his bed and liften his head back up. He stared down at your eyes and brushed your hair out of your eyes.Â
âHEY! EXTRAS! HAVE YOU GUYS MADE OUT YET?!â Bakugo yelled past the door and you suddenly became very aware that your friends were never the type to not snoop. Sero chuckled at the sight of your blushing face and reached down to brush the pad of his thumb across your pink cheeks.Â
âYouâre so beautiful... but.. I think we need to let our friends back in before a certain acid related one burns my door down.â He said while begrudgingly standing up. You didn't mind that much. You knew that he would be your best friend for the rest of your life, and that you would have more than enough time to find all new avenues of your relationship.Â
