I know I keep saying I’m not dead but everything just wants to get in my way. Still working on the Shinsou comic and the fic :2
I started another comic
The girl is NOT an OC. I just wanted to try something different instead of just drawing a vauge grey human form. If you guys have any other ideas on what to do about Y/N(s) feel free to let me know :).
Either way hope you all will like this one. Still a WIP.
Kirishima told you he was going to pick you up around 8. Which gives you abouttttt two hours to get ready. That’s manageable right? You shower, get all primped and pretty and, now for the clothes.
-Three days earlier-
The outfit Kiri -overall Mina- picked out for you was hard not NOT to get attention in. You can even remember Mina’s singsong voice, “ You’re going with THE Red Riot, Y/N. He’s already flashy! You HAVE to match his energy! This bland shizz has got to go! Here tryyyyy THIS!” She held up the most risqué thing you’ve ever seen. It was still classy but, places were low when they were supposed to be high, cutouts and, glitz/glam. The works.
-Present-
You’re not too sure how the pair got you’re measurements to the t. Going to have to ask that question later.
Just as you were finishing up, a car pulling up could be heard. A red Aston Martin. You didn’t expect anything less... Opening the door, you were greeted with fresh, crisp, night air. This all felt so...nice like, you could actually breathe. Carpe diem and all of that.
“W-wait! Wait right there, Y/N!” You froze, confused. Kiri power walked towards the front of your door. He gingerly closed the door on your face and knocked on it.
You smirked coyly and opened the door. You lean on the doorframe and crossed your arms, “ Really, Kirishima?” You laugh, “You’re too of a gentlemen...”
“Don’t like it” He looked perplexed.
“I’ll get over it.” You joked and threw Red a wink. You took his extended hand and got lead back to his car. “Wow, your car is gorgeous...”
“I could say the same about you.” Eijirou begins to rub his neck, “ You’re outfit and like, your face because you don’t have a car here, haha!” Uh oh, he’s beginning to nervous banter.
“Thank you, Red. You look handsome. Let’s get to the Gala before traffic gets any heavier.” He beamed and nodded.
The car ride over is pleasant. Traffic was okay (it’s been heavier, especially going towards downtown), within the car has been relatively silent but it’s obvious that you two just enjoy the other’s company. At some point, Kirishima threw his arm over the back of your seat. You could not help yourself and focused on the viens in his hands or how his muscular build strained against some parts of his suit. What’s his exercise regimen? How would a hug feel? How long you were looking? You don’t know. The music was low, seems like the whole squad was into the same stuff. Maybe you should try having a conversation?
“Soooo~” you drum your hands on his dashboard, “Kirishima, do you like hero work? Anything, interesting happened?” You curse yourself mentally. Of course he would like hero work!
“Hmmm, yeah! I love it. Cant really see myself doing anything else...” He keeps his eyes focused on the road but it’s obvious his brain is elsewhere, “Some days are harder than others but, there are great day too of course! I get to meet so many cool people. I met you.” His gives you a quick smile, “ Oooohh, let me tell you about this time I was saving these people from a bu-“
Now this car ride is getting livelier. Red is so animated when talking about his experiences. He so passionate... it’s nice :).
-At The Hero’s Gala-
You could not see a single star in the pitch, black sky; the venue was so bright. Practically blinding. How many of these did these Pros have to attend?! You don’t mind being the center of attention but, this is WAY too much. At least you’re not alone. You guess.
“YYY/NNN!! YOU MADE IT! THAT LOOKS SO BOMB ON YOU!”
You could not even process the blur of pink barreling towards you and Kirishima before it practically tackled you (thankfully not to the ground).
Mina squished your cheeks together, “Ah~! You look so gorgeous! Especially you’re hair-!”
It seems like she was about to ask you something else but Red picked her up from under arms and gingerly put her to the side, “Come on, Mina, if we don’t hurry inside we’ll be late-“
Mina waggles a finger towards Kirishima, “Tuh tuh, fashionably late.”
“Late is late, Mina”
“Since when we’re you such a stickler about time 😩! Don’t act brand new just because you got a boo-“
“HEY HEY!” Kiri claps his hands together-loudly- a few times, “Where’s your plus 1, M?”
“Hmm? Wh-She was just beside me! Don’t tell me they just went inside~ Ughhh, where could they be at?” Mina pulls out here phone, “I’ll see you inside, Y/N! Save me a seat beside you!”
“Okay, Mina!” You give her a thumbs up as a sweaty, blushy Kirishima rushed you towards the Gala’s entrance.

You had thought this whole extravaganza would be exhilarating! Exciting! A completely new experience! It kind of sucked. The venue was gorgeous, all pretty and made up. The people were chatting amongst themselves sometimes forgetting about the announcer. The food is great.
You sat beside Kirishima and left the two chairs to your right empty for Mina and her date. Your table was between Bakugo’s and Denki’s. To be frank, there was was never truly a lull, especially when the two blondes spoke to their redhead friend. You could really understand since they were speaking a bit too fast and adding slang you haven’t heard before. Bakugo was always threatening and Denki was just acting like a crackhead. It wasssss fun.
A bit later, it seemed like everyone mellowed out (probably thanks to the alcohol) and started mingling amongst each other. You guess you should start too, this whole thing is for the agency.
As you try to get get up, you feel a firm palm settle on your thigh, lightly pushing you back down, “Relax, Y/N. Bakubro finally left and Denk is off flirting...” You settle back into your seat, “The Agency will still be standing still be there. Just enjoy yourself.” He takes a swig of a soda, keeping his eyes forward as if he was focusing on something but, nothing interesting was in that direction as far as you could see.
“I hope Mina found her date...”
“She probably did. She’s pretty good at finding people.”
“Not going to drink?”
“Mmmm, we got to get home. I’m also much more comfortable drinking at home. I think they water it down at the events now due to...” he makes a painful face, “last time.
“Last time?”
“N’yeah...Some hero got super trashed and just let loose.”
The two of you stare at each other for a bit then start to laugh.
“Mm, I wouldn’t drink either then, I guess! Afraid you’ll say something you don’t mean, Red?”
“PFFT, no! All I have to say are good things. It’s just if I pay for a drink, I don’t want it to be watered down. What’s your excuse?”
“Welll, I thought I was going to be promoting our company. Guess not now.”
“So again, what’s your excuse?”
“Mmmm, I like having my wits”
Just as Kiri was about to reply, you both heard a voice from across the floor, “FINALLY FOUND YOU TWO” it was Mina and her absolutely stunning date. “What are you two just sitting down?! Let’s liven up this place! To the dance floor!” As if either was you had a choice.
Red had absolutely NO rhythm but that didn’t really stop you. The two of you spent the rest of night dancing away (along with Mina’s guidance at times). It was almost perfect.

Kirishima and you trudged back to his red, luxury car.
“Uwaaaa! My feet!” Kiri exclaimed, “When I usually dance it never hurts this bad~”
“That’s because you were dancing right, Kirishima.”
“Tsk, I am not that bad. That first move I busted always kill~”
“Yeah, yeah, people probably.”
“Hey, rude~” He opens the car door for you, “let’s get you home. Traffic shouldn’t be too heavy.”
“Thank you, Red.” He gives you a smirk as he shuts your door.
As it was before, the car ride was hella quiet, more so due to being tired. You look to the driver’s side of the car at Kirishima. His eyes were half lidded and focused on the cars in front of him... or so you thought.
“Hmm, caught the staring bug again?” You quickly turn back forward, caught off guard, “I’m just messing with you, Y/N, I don’t mind.” He flung his arm around the back of your seat again.
I guess it’s our time to talk, “Ha, I just can’t help it. You’re so nice and tonight has been really fun. It’s all been really fun. That and (I hope this doesn’t sound too creepy) your physique is amazing! I can tell you put a lot of care into it.”
“Haha, well, I have to!”
“Of course, of course, hahaa..” you start to break into a cold sweat.
Kiri notices the lull, takes his arm from behind your seat and instead takes your left hand and intertwines both of your fingers together. His hand practically engulfs yours and it’s so clammy.
“Nope!” Smooth, Y/N. Real smooth, “Not at all. You’re hand is very soft...”
The car went silent again, hands still tangled together. Both enjoying the nighttime view and the somewhat muted sounds coming from the cars surrounding you guys.
-Back At Y/N’s Home-
Kirishima walked you to your door, “Welp, here we are.” He rubs the back of his neck, “S’thanks for being my da- company and all. It was- it was super fun, yeah.”
You were digging around for your keys but still listening to you stuttering boss, “Hm, hm. It was super fun for me to. Especially getting to experience the Hero Gala!” Finally, you found your keys and opened your door. You turn towards Kiri and he looks as if he is about to pass out, “Uhm, Red? Do you want to crash here? I don’t really think you should drive back-“
“Oh no, I couldn’t! I’m fine, I promise-“
“Then at least let me make you some coffee or something with caffeine, Red...”
“...Yeah, I will take you up on that..”
The pair of you step inside and you lead Kiri to the sofa, “Here, just relax.”
He slumps against the arm and lays his head against his forearm. “Thank youuu~” Yeah, he sounds like he is about to knock out.
You gently shake his form, “Here, Red, drink up.” He doesn’t say anything, he takes the cup drink from it and just stares down into it.
“Is it nasty?”
“<Wha-what? Oh, no, it’s delicious>” pfft, he’s so out of it he didn’t even realize he started speaking Japanese.
“<Want to speak in your mother tongue?>” He seems to wake up a bit more.
“Ha, sorry. Hey, Y/N?” Kiri drums his fingers against the side of his cup.
“Mm?”
“Do you have anyone waiting for you?”
“Uhm, no? I mean I have my family but I can’t say they are really waiting for me...” you ponder his question, “Why’d you ask?”
“...” He seems to be reluctant in whatever he is trying to do. You can really get read on him. He looks scared? Kiri sets him lukewarm cup down on the side table and stares deeply into yours eyes.
“Red?”
He grabs your hands.
“Kiri”
He starts to pull you closer
“Kirishima??”
“It’s Eijirou.”
He pulls you into a passionate kiss. It felt so desperate and longing. The need for oxygen being long forgotten between the two of you.
Hey guys~! I finished inking four more pages to the ShinsouxReader comic. It is already turning out longer than I expected 💀. I don’t want my blog to be dry for too long so, here some inked Shins. If you want them:
With his 5-head...
Also keep and eye out for It Happened So Fast~ I have a feeling it may be dropping soon 😎
An//: this is what inspired the dance scene but imagine more hyped music like get low by lil Wayne💀✋🏾 it shouldn’t be that funny to me but I’m literally I’m almost tears from laughing
"How did— how did you know?"
"Did you forget i travel? I learn all about who's who of the high society world and you can't stoo the rumors of your beauty," he laughed as you akwardly rubbed your hand shyly," but why would the future prin-"
"Ex. Ex future princess. I broke off my engagement with the prince. I guess you don't hear about everything." Offering him a smile to ease the soft tension before it fell silent and you didn't really think Denki could be quiet.
But he sat there and rubbed his chin to relief his shocked expression and soften as he nods is heads as the conversation in his head eases. " well lady Rania or lady (y/n). Would you like to accompany me?"
"You aren't going to ask why I lied to you?"
He shrugs, " tell me or not. It's all up to you but however to make it up to me you can come take a walk with me. Looks like you need it." Like before he extended his hand and as you did earlier you take it with no hesitation. You couldn't put you finger on why you gave him this trust even though he could most likely lead you to certain doom.
"Get out your head. It's not like I'm going to lead you to certain doom or anything."
This made you snort, "so along with being a poet you're a mind reader?"
"Denki kaminari holds many skills m'lady."
You walk hand in hand into the town. It was quite dark but I guess that's why they call it the midnight kingdom.
"Hold on, you're going to love this part." He made you stand there for only a few seconds and lights came on highlighting the dark midnight blue buildings and their sparkle. It was a sight to behold as you see teenagers and adults exit their house to view the soft yellow glow of the kingdom.
"They say we do this to honor the deal queen nemuri had made with the pixies who helped her build this land. It sparkles likes this because of their magic and we light up their way to come celebrate with us."
"Celebrate?" you tilt yout head in question.
"yeah, come on. Its the main reason i came back today to preform at this fesitival."
It was only a few steps away before you hear music mixed with chatter and laughter up ahead. People were in the center dancing and switching partners. Others were drinking while some looked through the vendors small pop-up shops.
You felt as giddy as a child watching the citizen party. You never had time for things like this in your past life because of your studies to become the future queen. It Panged your heart to realize how much you missed out on. Shaking out of your thoughts when you hear Denki clear his throat.
"We going or are you just going to stand there?"
He didn't have to say it twice before you were the first running down to the center to dance. It didn't take long for guy with scales asked for your hand to dance and you happily obliged by linking arms and going around in a circle. Then you switched to a woman who was equally as happy to have you dancing with her as you did the same movements with her.
Never realizing as Denki helped provide the music his eyes never left you. The way you lit up seemed so much brighter than the area around him and your laugh filled his eara better than music can. You made his heart thump harder and faster than anyone else could. He happily played til you were tired so he could keep this everlasting moment in his memory.
After dancing, you both went around to the vendors and picked up different foods to eat and simultaneously picking gifts out for Shoto and tamaki since they were fast asleep and couldn't really come out tonight to explore.
You and denki making jokes and laughing as if this was your own mini world. It was nice to feel free from your problems not having to worry about running into deku or ochako or others expectation of their now ex-princess.
Only when you felt your hand get cold did you realize that you were separated from Denki. In some broken down alley you really couldn't put your finger on where to go.
"What's a pretty little thing like you doing down here? Ya' lost?" his voice made you shiver and already indicates danger from his presence.
"Sorry, my boyfriend is coming to get me so I better be going." your grip your pouch and try to push past the man as fast as you could so you could go find denki but it was interrupted as soon as the man grabbed your arm and pulled you back harshly eliciting a sharp Yelp of pain come from you.
"I don' see no boyfriend. Come on I got some friends that can play wit' us." You held the pained part of your arm and went on full high thinking mode on how to get out. You weren't just going to sit there and allow this man to take advantage of you. So as your made up your mind you yelled loudly and fury just to make the man confused until your foot made contact with his groin.
Seeing him grovel in pain made it your cue to run and find somebody to help guide you back to the village square. It's when you saw someone cloaked in black that you kicked it into high gear.
Stumbling into the talk man as his blue eyes peered into yours, "please help guide me back to the village. There's a man trying to kidnap me." Even though frantic you had to make sure he knew the dire situation. The feeling only grew when you heard a groan and a mumbled out 'fucking lil bitch' come from the direction you had left. Only to make your suspension correct when the same man you kicked in the nuts came walking over.
"You there! Young man, you have my wife," you shake your head and yelled out a fuck off to the man and that you don't even know him, "Silly woman, is that any way to speak to your husband? God where gonna have to clean out the mouth of yours." His fake smile made bile grow in your throat as he had the audacity to grab hold of the arm he hurt pressing into it. You knew to never let go of the cloak man who stood and looked upon the scene mumbling out something you couldn't quite hear.
"Come on ,honey. Let him go so we can get you to bed." He other man seethed through gritted teeth and almost got you away if it wasn't for the unknown person pulling you into their chest and used one hand to block your ears and ability to turn around."
"Holy fuck, you remind me of him. Just shut your god damn mouth already." you didn't see him bring his arm up lettting the cloak roll down it revealing the black ancient wording that denki spoke of earlier or the blue flame he conjured from his hand burning the man swiftly before he could even yell or scream for help.
It was only until the flames disperse did he let you out of his hold.
"thank you. Umm here," you dig in a small bag you had hidden and pull out a cute wolf keychain you purchases from a vendor, " take it as a token of my appreciation." you held it out as he adjusts his sleeve and hood to where it only can make out a speck of white spikes. He held out his hand signaling you to drop it in his palm which you complied.
"you're still the same as ever,short stack." his laugh was deep and it shook your core making you scratch your cheek in embarrassment while looking away.
but wait 'same as ever'? 'short stack'? Registered in your head. Only one person ever called you that and last time you checked thet were missing.
"Hey! Have we met be-" as soon as you snapped your head back to his spot he was gone like the wind making you scratch your head.
"THERE YOU ARE!" your weight shifted as the familair blonde throws himself on you pulling you into a hug, "I didn't want to be the one to tell tamaki and Shoto about how we snuck to a festival without them." he scratches his head and whips his forehead of sweat. You could see a bright red lipstick mark on his cheek making you quirk a brow.
"Looking for me, huh?"
He seems to know what you were staring at aa he covers it up quickly and chuckles nervously, "well you see what happened was this giant lip monster and it could only be tamed by a handsome bard so—so not buying my story are you?"
"You're a dunce Denki." You clutch your stomach and laugh wincing from the slight pain that struck your arm.
"You ok? What happened to your arm?" He looks at the mark the man left from his grip.
"Well you see there was a giant pair of lips." You mocked him playfully making him scowl back.
"Monster. Lip monster." He corrected.
Keeping up the back and forth banter as you make it back the cozy inn. Telling him all that happened and finishing your recall of the night as you make it to the room door.
Saying soft goodbyes and handing him the bag filled with gifts for the other boys.
“Oh wait Denki,” he turns around to look at you, “ you should think about joining us...If you want. It’s not like it’s required or anything. Umm but just think about it. Yeah? Ok. I should probably stop talking and head in my room. Which I’m doing. Now.” Letting a soft cough as you close the door softly holding your face once completely behind it and groaning not hearing his laugh at your antics
The red giant backed up and put his hands up in the air and waved them frantically. “<Wha-hooooahh! Calm down. Sorry, sorry, didn’t mean to frighten you! That’s wasn’t very manly was it. Gah, bad first impression, I guess, ha.” The redhead rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment.
“<You’re Red Riot. The~huh~ the Red Riot>” Yes, yes you were gaping like a fish in a desert. How could a man be so tall?! He is literally towering over everybody here. What is he like 7’?! Does his bones hurt? What the hell is a Bakugo... Oh, he staring at me. How long have I been staring!
“<Uhmm>” Red Riot waves his hands in front of your face, “Helloooo, anybody, homeeeee?” His voice sounds so velvety and heroic. “<I should really work on my introductions...this happens way more often then it should. Let me write that down so I don’t forget.>” The Pro Hero stares down at you, “<I’ll give you a lift, Y/N, since you’re like in a trance. LET’S GO TO MY OFFICE! I CAN SHOW YOU PICTURES FROM MY UA DAYS AND SOME COOL AWARDS. SO MANLY!>” With that your new boss lifted you up and threw you over his broad shoulders.
He continued to talk Y/N’s ear off with you not understanding much of what Red was saying but, appreciating it either way seeing as it was helping you unwind from the earlier shock. As the pair walked through the agency, Y/N took in the place. Even though, the place is a big on inside as it was on the outside, it wasn’t as daunting as you thought it would be. The people and heroes around here are smiling and waving towards you. You were handed a balloon with a crudely drawn face (it was meant to resemble you) with a many , “おめでとう” thrown your way as you and your boss entered the elevator.
“<Here we go! Can you stand?>” Red sets you down on your feet with ease as he presses the button to his floor. He drums his fingers across the steel doors then turn towards you with one of his award winning smiles. You swear it melt the steel in these elevators, it’s so bright. “<Not going to freak out on my again are you? Y/N>” He tested your name on his tongue, “<Am I saying that right? Ah, I forgot to ask, would you prefer Japanese> or English?” He look at you thoughtfully.
“That’s right. I have not been responding have I?”
“Nope! You have not but, that’s cool. I have a great feeling about you so, I know you’ll be a strong backbone to this company!”
All you could do was stare back in a dream-like state. Look at you! Shame! Getting all star-struck and dumb even being in this man’s presence. Tsk tsk. Better keep this conversation rolling so it doesn’t get awkward. “You were right..”
“Huh, right about what?
“My name. You said it correctly. Ha, pretty funny too, I’m used to people pronouncing it wrong.”
“Well, that’s not very fair to you. It’s your name and it’s a manly name!” Red puffed through his nostrils and smirked.
You bowed you head to hide your blush, “ Thank you, Red Riot.” Why are you acting like this it is so NOT professional at. All.
Red Riot let out a boisterous laugh that you swore shook the elevator, “You don’t have to refer to me by my hero name you know? Just call me Kirishima or even Kiri. Honestly, anything is cool as long as I don’t get called sir. That makes me feel old. Red Riot is reserved for field work though.” With that he winked at you.
“Oh, then, thank you Kir-!”
D I N G
“We’re here!!” He yoinks you from the elevator into his suave office, “ Hasa De Lo Eiji!!”
You heard Sero’s voice speak up, “Casa De La, Ei, casa de la...” He sitting upside down in one of Kirishima’s office chairs surfing his phone looking through Twatter. You thought he was ignoring you until he started waving and kicking his lanky legs excitedly.
Denki was just spinning in Kirishima’s main seat, “<YOU FOUND THEM, MAN?!>”
“<Well, they wasn’t exactly hiding and don’t think there’s many people of their skin tone here in Japan, Denk...>” You only caught a bits and pieces of their conversation, making you giggle a bit.
Denki looked over to you, “Oohoo, you like that, huh? Say how about we get to know each other better? One on one? There’s this really cool place in Shinjuku I’ve been dying to try. Would love to have someone to try it with. Being alone is such a bummer~” While Denki was distracted, Kirishima took his chance and sat in his friend’s lap causing Denki to sputter and attempt to push his taller, “built like a German, concrete home” friend off of him. Shame, you were actually about to take Denki up on his offer. You did want to see what Japan had to offer and it did suck to be alone sometimes.
The day continued as you four began to talk about you, their hero work, the past and, what was in store for the upcoming week. Soon, Denki and Sero left to attended to their own business (they went to Shinjuku), which just left you and Kirishima. You though it would it be awkward, however, it strangely felt like home. This was different from what your country’s media always portrayed of him: Hardy, cold and relentless. Even though that’s what drew you to him, this Kirishima was a nice change of pace as well.
“Hey, hey, Y/N you’re staring again.” The redhead smiled.
“Didn’t mean to, Kirishima. It’s just that you’re so different in real life! I hope you don’t mind me saying but, though you were this boulder of destruction.”
“Not too disappointing, I hope.” He leans his head in his hand, laughing a tiny bit.
“No! Of course not!”
“I’m joking, I’m joking!”
You both just laugh and it dies downs leaving a comfortable silence betwixt you again.
“Well, you got the job for sure!”
“Really t—that’s it?!”
“Yup”
“No strenuous questions?”
“Nope”
“No previous references or written letters from previous employers?”
“Nnurp” he audibly pop his lips to add emphasis to his negatory.
“No-“
“Do you want the job?”
“Of course! It’s just that yo-“
“Then you have it. I have a good feeling about you! I learned to trust my instincts. Obviously, yours brought here to freaking Japan-“
“Well, my friend sent me the email...”
“YOU put in for it and YOU got it. Enjoy it :)”
You rubbed your chin in thought. Starting to overthink the situation and your new way too laidback boss. Was this a mistake? Did I make a good call? As if he could read you mind, Kiri laid his firm hand upon your shoulder, “Let’s get some grub! I can take you home afterwards!”
With that, you’re new life began and with each day you grew more confident in your choices. You learned so many new tips and tricks, learned about and met new people (some more despicable then others), it was like a dream come true. First, you needed Kiri told hold your hand at the beginning, which made you doubt yourself from time to time. However, you got better and faster, already your talent to the max.
The only thing you hated doing the most were the public conferences. They always asked the same questions hoping for different answers or asked about way too personal questions about the heroes within Kirishima’s agency. Questions that would make the man on moon blush. However, you always seemed to Beyoncé your way out of their scandalous questions and steer it right back to where you wanted it.
Of course, your work never went unnoticed or unappreciated. The agency always made sure to make feel wanted and needed. Hah, Bakugo even came in and tried to recruit you for his own agency, in front of your boss. It’s all just been so crazy. It’s almost insane to think it’s almost been a year here. You even remember your old life. To think, you thought the email was a joke. What would I be doing if I never answered it... No point on dwelling on it you guess.
You hear heavy footsteps coming toward your door.
*Clink Click*
“Hmm, I thought these lights shut off automatically... strange” It was your boss! “Let me flu-Oh! Oh, you’re still here?! Y/N , it’s practically morning right now. Why are you still working?”
“You wouldn’t know I was still here if you weren’t here yourself so, Red, what’s your excuse?” You looked up at him playfully smug.
You don’t remember if he’s been flushed from rushing into the office or for his new nickname but, he looked away and swore he tripped on his words when he spoke. “Other than it being my agency, Y/N so, MY responsibility, I like to go for early morning runs. You could probs just call it conditioning from school days. It helps keep my mind from overthinking I guess.
“Overthinking? About what?”
“Heh, what not about” There was a strange unplaceable tone in his voice. He said that sentence barely above a whisper but, you caught it. Kirishima look back towards you and beams. Is he- is he putting up a mask?! Not wanting to strain your work relationship you choose not to press him on the matter. Turning back to your desktop to continue your work until Kiri blocked it. Damn his thick man body!
“Could you please move,Kirishima.”
“Nuh-uh, not until you tell me why you’re still up here working at this ungodly hour.”
You leaned into your seat giving up on trying to move him, you sigh and then smile to yourself not sure if he could see it or not, “ Fine, I’ll spill. I work this late because I love this job. Nowhere else has given me this opportunity and I’m so thankful. I’ve felt so lost for the longest and about gave up on myself. I work this late because I love my friend, they were the ones who even let this opportunity land in my lap even though, they could have easily taken this job. They had more experience. I love my coworkers. Ha, I’ve never been so overwhelmed by support by so many strangers. It’s really emotional and I would hate to let them down. I do all of this because I love and appreciate you, Red... you’ve always stayed by my side and gave encouragement when I needed. Lacking in my work would be like spitting in your face and I would hate for that to happen...”
You keep your eyes shut for a few more seconds soaking in what you just said. It’s been eating at you forever. You’ve long forgotten about how Kiri was like a barnacle stuck to screen and I guess he did as well, seeing as was standing up straight, mouth opening and closing and fiddling with his hands. You look up at him, “That’s why I’m here. You don’t have to worry over me. I’m not a child. Plus, I got YOU and your HERO amigos/amigas on speed dial.” Sero’s been trying to teach you Spanish 💀, it is not working.
“...Do you mean that? You love me?”
“Of course I do, Red.” Kirishima drawn closer to Y/N, “Why wouldn’t I?”
“I just thought it would be too soon to make a call..”
“I love you , Kirishima...”
“Y-you could call me, Eij-“
“As much as I love Sero and Denki! You all mean so much to me!”
You noted that Kirishima seemed to deflate at your next sentence and even took a step back, “Red, you okay? Need water?”
Kiri shook his head, “N-No I guess I’m just coming down from my runners high! Ha, it always makes me a bit woozy y’know.”
“Oh~”
“Yeahhhh. Welp! Just dont Forget it’s your day off tomorrow okay. No coming in! No matter how much you //luhhhh// us.” That was weird. Luh? ,”Oh I also have a question. The hero gala is coming up soon and we have to bring a +1. Would you like to come with me? I’ll cover your clothes~!”
“The Hero Gala?? Are you sure wouldn’t you want to bring another, I don’t know, hero?”
“Well, I could but, I asked you. You were my first choice either way. If it’ll help you could think about it like good PR.”
As you always do, you think about it. Unlike the other times, your mind was already made up.
From a mundane, cushy home to Japan Y/N went. Yes, it was nerve wracking to not only believe and see it was happening right in front of their face but, that the agency had accepted you so easily with such a minimal resume. Sure, you knew your stuff but barely anyone would give you the time of day to show off your natural skills. If one thing was certain, F/L/N knew how portray even the worst of the worst in the best light. However, F/L/N’s Japanese was very poor and just borderline coherent. Time to brush up while on the way there...
~L A T E R~
Y/N doesn’t even know where to begin to look. Everything was moving so fast and just so, so crowded!
Gah! Did I make a mistake?! No! We belong here! They selected us. They must’ve seen something worthwhile in you. Suck it up and keep it moving. I already accepted the one way trip anyway...
“Now to find my bags. Who to ask? Who to ask?? Ah, an attendant! Hopefully, my Japanese isn’t too shabby”
They power walked towards the attendant and asked where the luggage claim area would be. Albeit, poorly, followed with hand mannerisms and a several stares but, one understanding host and a frazzled staff later, Y/N’s bags were secured. Thank god.
What were the directions again? Someone was supposed to pick me up, right? Mmmm, let me read the notes again. Y/N pulled up the notes on their phone. They were not the best but still understand...kind of. Once the plane ride was done, someone IS supposed to pick us up. Apparently, 15 minutes ago. So, either we keep missing them or, they’re late.
“I guess- I guess I’ll just head outside then.”
~30 minutes later~
The people have thinned out quite a bit. The sky was slowly but surely becoming a darker blue mixed with beautiful orange and pink hues. Gorgeous.
Sigh...Okay, this is becoming re-damn-diculous, “If this was prank why the HELL would you pay even go through with paying for a plane ticket? A last minute one at that.. I’m already here... might as well enjoy a free trip.”
Just as Y/N sets their feet on the ground, a loud motor could be heard approaching.
A very nice, very sleek matte black sports car with a little yellow stripe on the side sped past Y/N. It just barely missed hitting the curb. For a the few seconds it zoomed by, Y/N swore they heard a loud Chris Brown song bumping within the car.
“Does everyone drive like a bat out of hell around here?!”
As if that was the que, the car froze and flung into reverse (just as fast) just to stop again at Y/N’s feet. The window rolls down and we are greeted with two men. The driver, who had a god awful smolder, had yellow blonde hair with a black stripe (opposite scheme of his car) with fox-like eyes. He had on a plain black shirt and red basketball shorts. The passenger held a bright, friendly smile (his eyes told a different story as they glaring towards the driver). He had beautiful, medium black hair, pulled back into a bun near the nap of his neck. He wore a blank white shirt and black, slightly baggy jeans.
Are these two my ride...uhhh :/
“Hey, baby” Y/N internally cringes, not at his broken English but, at the unwarranted flirting, “Looking for a ride?” The blonde winked. “We were told to come pick you up butttt how about we hang out instead? I know ALL the good spots.” He waggles his eyebrows to emphasize his poorly masked innuendo.
Unamused and tired Y/N spoke monotone, “ No thank you. I’ll just walk back to where I came from.” They grab their bags and start walking.
The blonde slowly paced the car to remain along side Y/N. “H-hey, beautiful, you don’t want to do that! You’ll probably drown you know!” The black haired passenger breathes a heavy sigh, head in his hand and other hand on the wheel as he witnesses the driver attempt to bring the stranger into the car.
“That’s the plan.”
The car rode along in silence with a defeated blonde hanging out of the window. The black haired passenger decided to step in and salvage the situation, “Denki, stopped the car” Denki stops the car while the passenger pushes the blonde’s face out of the way of the car window, “Aye, Mami/Papi, come back, please! I apologize for my friend. You see, he’s a bit brain fried. You can keep walking if you want but, the ocean is one hell of a detour just to go back to (place you’re from). Kiri would be disappointed. He’s never met a Y/N before.”
Upon hearing their name and their place of origin, Y/N froze from their walk of anger. “Ho- Kir-!!” Y/N squints theirs eyes and starts to approach the sports car, “Who are you and how do you know my name?”
The raven haired man, smirked and tilted his head to the side, “ Sero but you may know Cellophane better-
“Never heard of him.”
Sero shrugged and just leaned back in his friend’s seat, “And I know you’re name because we were sent to pick you up. DENKI just needed to make ‘“a few’” stops before we picked you up. If I had know we were taking the whole damn store, I would just gotten you myself. So sorry.”
Silence hung in the air for a bit.
“So, do I just get in or...
Denki perked up at, “<Yeah! Yeah! Just climb on in!>” he began pumping his fist in excitement. He practically had stars in his eyes.
Y/N barely registered what Denki had said looking towards Sero for some kind of explanation.
“Oh! He said come on in! We will take to to your place first then bring you to Red Riot’s agency”
“<Bro, why are you calling him by his hero name?>”
“<I don’t know if they even know Ei’s actual name, man>”
Once, Sero and you get your bags packed, the three of you go off to your new home...
~An hour later~
“<HEY, HEY WE ARE HERE, GORGEOUS!>” Y/N’s waking mind barely registered Denki’s broken “get ups” and “this place is sicks” before their eyes set on the outrageously beautiful home in front of them. It was small but looked so luxurious. Bay windows and a tiny garden surrounded the home. Sero comes to Y/N’s ear with their bags, “Yup, it all you, man. Nice place to. Kinddd of jealous.” He continued walking to your house with your bags. He was joking of course.
Denki came by and slapped your back and spoke in his his best English, “Like it that much, huh! You’re literally stuck on the driveway!”
“You know, you don’t have to speak english all the time to me. I can speak some Japanese” Denki gave a shy smile at Y/N.
“<Haha, I can’t be that bad, right? I have to admit though it’s pretty cool you could speak Japanese. We’re you born here and just moved or did they teach you in school? Ooh, ooh, this is just so awesome!” Denki turned towards a confused Y/N.
Y/N just twiddles their thumbs and looks downward,”<C-Could you repeat that for me? I couldn’t catch anything after right, haha..>”
“Same boat,huh” Denki smirks
“<Same boat.” Y/N replies.
“Yo, are you two going to keep talking or are we going to look inside? We could also got to the agency. You’re call, la Monada.”
Y/N ponders for bit, “Let’s see the agency. This home is beautiful but I’ll get to see it plenty after my place of work.”
~At Red Riot’s Agency~
“...This place is huge...” Y/N stood practically in the middle of the sidewalk , mouth agape and looking upwards.
“Hey, Y/N, Sparky and I are going to head inside to see, the Big Boss, you coming?”
“Y-yeah in a bit! Thank you, Sero”
“Remember: elevators on the far right. Push the highest button!” Denki shouted, “If you go to the far left it will take you to a completely different building! See you up there, Y/N!”
With that, your new acquaintances left. You look at your surroundings which is pretty futile seeing as it just leads back to the RR Agency. “So big...”
“If you think that’s big you should see my manly pal, Bakubro’s. His is huge!! He was always a showoff though. I like to think of it as good competition” A hearty laugh filled your ears.
