"That was so boringggg!"
Kira whined. We walked side to side on our way to the cafeteria to get some food. "Agreed. I love Mr. Yamato, but I dread going to his class."
For the rest of the way, Kira talked about who knows what. I wasn't entirely listening as she tends to ramble a lot and can never stay on one topic unless she's 100% serious about something. But I love her for her carefree spirit.
To me, it's still a wonder how we even became best friends because of how different we are.
"y/nnn are you even listening?!" I snapped out of my thoughts and faced the girl who was staring directly at me with a pout. "No," she sighed, shaking her head. "Ya know y/n-" I toned her out again, looking around to see that we were already in the cafeteria somehow.
As I was looking around, I noticed Tamaki was sitting all by himself, timid as always. 'How unusual.' I assumed he was waiting for Nejire and Mirio since he's not one to be left alone, and in a crowded area at that.
I knew instantly, something was up when people other than those two went to the table and started talking to him. "...I'll be right back." Even though Kira wasn't entirely listening, my feet moved on their own.
Soon enough, I ended up behind the quivering boy. I could hear their conversation from a mile away. It's not like they were being quiet or anything.
"Loud and rude. " The group of boys stopped talking to Tamaki and all looked at me. "Leave." They all shared looks between one another. It looked like one was going to say something, but luckily his friend put him in check. They got up and walked away from the table.
I looked down at Tamaki who seemingly stopped shaking. 'That's good... I think.' I sat down near him but not next to him. I didn't want to overwhelm him.
"You alright?" Even though it looked like I didn't care, I was worried. He simply nodded his head and I was fine with that. Especially since I was expecting him to ignore me.
"You have to stand up for yourself you know. They'll just come back and keep picking on you." He slowly nodded his head.
I sighed to myself, seeing him completely avoid my presence. "I should probably go back to my friend, she's probably looking for me." I was getting up and was about to walk away, when my walking had came to a halt. Tamaki had held onto the sleeve of my uniform. Even though his hand was shaking, he still had a firm grip.
"C-can you stay with m-me?" It was low and pretty shaky, but I still understood what he said.
I cleared my throat, starting to get flustered. I was happy to hear that he wanted me to stay, even though he probably didn't want to be approached again. Either way, I'll take what I can get.
"Sure." I sat back down but closer this time. "Is this ok?" I looked at the boy for confirmation and he only nodded his head yes.
I couldn't help but notice that he was picking at his fingers, and his leg was bouncing like crazy. "Are you scared of me Tamaki?" I was genuinely curious. I know I can come off a little intimidating, or scary even. And of course I couldn't care less if I'm feared... but I do want to be liked by this particular someone.
"Of course n-not! Well... m-maybe a little," my eyes widened a little. I was definitely surprised-I didn't know he could be this loud before. But I liked it. I like seeing and learning different things about Tamaki.
"I-I'm s-sorry! I didn't mean t-to raise my voice." The poor boy was frantic. He kept apologizing to me like I'd punch him square in the face. I couldn't help but laugh a bit, "there's no need to apologize. I was just a bit surprised, that's all." I gave him a small smile.
"You can relax around me. I don't bite unless you want me to." I chuckled to myself, knowing I wasn't joking. The blush that spread across his face made me awe at his beauty.
'Yes! Progress.'
"That's where you went!" 'Ugh' Kira came with food and sat down with her tray, handing me mine. I thanked her as she sat down across from me. "Oh hey Tamaki!" He shyly waved to the girl, never looking up. But she's never one to get bothered over little things like that.
While me and Kira talked, I would constantly give Tamaki bits of my food while we waited for his friends.
He wasn't actually hungry but he didn't want to refuse y/n's offerings. He felt special being given parts of the food she could've eaten all by herself.

"Oh! Hey guys!" Nejire exclaimed. "Didn't expect to see you guys here." Mirio said as he sat down and passed Tamaki his lunch. "Yeah! Don't you guys normally eat outside?" Nejire asked.
"Yeah, but I guess y/n wanted a change in scenery," Kira teased, wiggling her eyebrows. I rolled my eyes, knowing that wasn't the case. "They're replanting the area we usually sit at." I said as I ate a piece of my fruit. "That explains why the landscapers are running around everywhere." Nejire tapped her chin.
As they were talking, I passed Tamaki some of my Takoyaki. He looked at me in confusion. "We have quirk training today, thought these would be of good use." His eyes widened a tad and he snapped his head down, trying to hide his blush. "T-thank you." I hummed in response, still admiring his beauty.
The three on the other side of the table, watched their interaction in utter shock. Nejire and Mirio didn't think he'd actually take their advice and talk to her. Kira on the other hand, was surprised Y/n talked to him without scaring him off.
