Chapter Text
“Excuse me?” Monoma Neito asked, a bit baffled at the situation at hand.
“You are excused.” Shinsou Hitoshi replied; his dry sense of humor painfully grinded on Monoma’s nerves.
“No, I mean–” The blond interjected, waving his hands to disregard the statement he just said.
At the moment, Monoma and Shinsou are in the rooftop of U.A.’s main building during lunch break. The cool afternoon breeze ruffled both of their hairs and their daily uniform jackets, while the clouds walked along the bright blue sky. Now why are they on the roof you ask? Well…
“What did you say?” Monoma asked after he chose his words carefully, looking at the purple-haired male wearily.
“Oh.” Shinsou uttered before he places his hand on the back of his neck to cup the nape. “I said, I want to court you, Monoma.” He said lazily, his droopy purple eyes drifted back to Monoma’s grey ones, which made him slightly uncomfortable.
“What–” The blond said before he took back what he was about to say because Shinsou was about to repeat what he just said, even though he had heard it for about two times now. “What do you mean you want to court me?” Monoma asked, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion, at Shinsou, and at this situation altogether.
The purple-haired male stared at him for a couple of moments with his eyelash-less eyelids closing then opening a few times before he opened his mouth to speak, but he didn’t say anything immediately, choosing to close his mouth again. It’s as if the taller male is choosing his words carefully.
“He must really want to court me if he’s thinking this much.” The blond thought as he waited patiently for Shinsou to reply, even if his precious lunch break is being wasted on a love confession.
“I mean I want to date you, so I’m asking for your consent for me to court you.” Shinsou replied, the hand on his neck rubbed the skin gently.
Monoma stared at him for a couple of seconds, his mind assessing the situation as holistically as possible. However, no matter how much Monoma looks at it, this is not what he had wanted!
As an omega male, he was blessed with a pretty decent quirk to be a hero, which is to copy another’s quirk or more for five minutes (but he can’t use more than one), is in the hero course, and he is quite good-looking as well.
Shinsou… Shinsou doesn’t even meet alpha standards. His quirk is brainwash, which is a quirk not fit for a hero at all, recalling his performance during the Sports Festival, he wasn’t that strong either, he’s in the general studies’ course, and the dude doesn’t even have eyelashes! Also, have you seen his eye-bags? If you haven’t, you must be blind as fuck!
Regardless, Monoma may be an asshole, but he’s not that kind of an asshole to turn down an alpha because of how he looks. However, he has his pride on the line here, since he had just claimed to the world that he’ll get the most amazing alpha, with a quirk he could copy that will be useful in battles and whatnot. Or even just an alpha with amazingly good-looks that could rival movie stars.
He was thinking of a hot alpha chick with a cool quirk, but that is literally just a dream too far from his reach at his current standing.
Back at the current situation, Monoma stared at nowhere in particular, trying to find ways or anything that could give him an idea to turn Shinsou down easy, and maybe even shake hands and call each other friends.
However, with those purple eyes that seemed to be filled with nothing but admiration and infatuation mixed to something akin to love staring at him like he was the main attraction of a show, Monoma can’t possibly just turn the guy down on the spot! No one looked at him like that before! Except maybe for his mother.
“B-But um–” Monoma began, with his tongue stuttering when he hasn’t even thought of a coherent sentence to say. “But you can’t– possibly do that! I-I’ll make your life miserable– I’m not the most likeable guy around!” He said, even though he’s a big egoistic boy that has a modified tuxedo as a hero costume and eats French cuisine for dinner. “B-Besides, there’s more omegas out there for you, why me, specifically?” He asked, finally looking at the slightly taller male.
For a few moments, Shinsou looked at Monoma blankly, before his eyes seemed to light up like he had realized something in between their conversation.
“I wouldn’t think you’ll make me miserable, you’re a good guy.” Shinsou said carefully whilst rubbing the skin of his nape, he seems to have a habit doing that. “After all I’ve been watching you for a while.”
“No wonder I’ve been feeling chills lately! He’s been watching me all this time!” Monoma thought in panic as he felt another chill slither down his spine.
After a few moments, Shinsou seemed to have taken initiative to walk closer towards the blond male, who’s leg seemed to have twitched in accordance to the instinct of needing to escape from an alpha, but he chose not to move at all. Trying to see what the purple-haired boy would want from someone like him.
Once Shinsou was just a few feet away from him, he tenderly placed the back of his hand against Monoma’s cheek, whom widened his eyes and involuntarily blushed at the contact. He didn’t blush because Shinsou was touching him, no he is not! He’s blushing because Shinsou’s scent actually smelled nice!
At the sudden color change on Monoma’s pale face, Shinsou let out a small satisfied smirk before pulling his hand away, to which Monoma responded with being even more surprised, and even more bothered (not sexually, I tell you).
“I just like you. I don’t need another reason.” The taller male replied, shoving his hands on his pants’ pockets, before he walks away, going to the door that leads downstairs. “I’m going to walk you home later. See you.” Shinsou bid farewell, leaving the hero course student flabbergasted.
“This guy… He didn’t even wait for my approval if I want him to court me or not…” Monoma muttered as he covers half of his face with his hand, trying to suppress the rapid beating of his heart. Was his heart beating because of terror, or maybe excitement?
He doesn’t know for sure.
All he knows that he’s going to have a bad time. This is because he’s gonna make Shinsou realize his feelings for him was false, or maybe turn down the male somewhere when Monoma found that he can’t take this courting thing.
Whichever it is, he might as well give Shinsou a chance.
