notes: aahh!! thank you angel, i hope this is okay <3
content warnings: none!! pure fluff
first of all, sorry if my handwriting's kind of awful!! this is my eighth attempt at writing this and my hand’s a little sore by now. not that i mind! i just want this to be exactly right. i had it all planned out, what i was going to say - i made a whole draft in my notebook - but every time i try to write it down properly i end up going off-topic and panicking, so i'm gonna just try and say what i feel, tangents and doubts and all. i hope that's okay.
the first day we met, i thought you were radiant. i've gone through a lot of words in these drafts - amazing, incredible, beautiful, dazzling - but none of them seemed right. they all kind of box you into one thing, like your strength or your power or your looks. but it was all of you i found so breathtaking. you were as nervous as i was, i think, to get up in front of everyone and show them your quirk, but you got this look on your face and you went up and did it anyway. i never told you this, but whenever i think of that look in your eye, it made me feel stronger, too.
i had no idea how to talk to you, at first. you always seemed entirely of out of reach for someone like me. i know compared to a lot of people at this school i'm nothing special, and honestly at first i was resigned to watching you from the sidelines. but then you spoke to me - you spoke to me like i was somehow equal to you, like you truly thought i was worth your time. you'll never know how much that meant to me, even if it was nothing to you.
i kept waiting for the penny to drop - for something to change, for you to realise there were better people to spend your time with, people as dazzling as you - but you never did. it was like i had something intangible in my hands, like lightning in a bottle. i’m sorry, is this to cheesy? it's why i put it in a letter, because i know i'd never be able to say it out loud. the point is, you stuck with me. and you didn't ask for anything in return. it amazed me as much as everything else about you.
i think that's why i fell in love with you.
sorry if that's not what you want to hear. but it's been killing me lately. it's all i can think about and it's really scary but - well, how am i supposed to be the number one hero if i can't even tell the person i love how i feel? so here i am writing it down. i really really want you to know that even if you don't feel the same - and i'm honestly not expecting you to - i want to still be your friend, more than anything, if you still want me around. i'm not so selfish that i'd want to stop being around you because of something as insignificant as my own feelings. you are one of the most important people in the world to me, and not just because i'm in love with you. it's so much more than that. you're so much more than that, to me.
so if you decide you want to forget you ever read this, that's okay - just please be gentle with me. but if my some miracle you do feel the same ... well, you know where to find me, i guess.
