Work Text:

For Toshi ♥

That day when you appeared at the Sports Festival was the first time that I saw you. I think that since that day I have fallen in love with you, but I didn’t realize it at that moment.

After that I didn’t see you anymore, it was very disappointing when you just disappeared, as if that amazing appearance at the tournament wasn’t enough to transfer you to the hero course. I mean, you almost defeated Midoriya, although he is very skilled so he was unlikely to lose.

After some time of your absence, where neither of the teachers mentioned you not even once, you appeared again.

Bro, what was that about you not coming to make friends? That’s impossible to accomplish in our course, you just have to look at Kacchan or Todoroki, I think even Monoma ended up having friends besides his awful personality.

I tried so hard to get closer to you! It was difficult, but I was determined to become your friend.

And I had to be the first to become your friend in the hero course because it’s always Midoriya who changes people’s mentalities. He’s like a therapist or something like that… Don’t tell him that I said that.

The point is that since that training with the Class-B my only purpose in life, being a hero was less relevant at that moment, was to be your friend. Your best friend, Your bro. Any tag that hid that I was already in love with you and I pretended that I just wanted to be your friend.

Never, not once in my life, not even when Sero gave me to try that green thing, I never considered the possibility that I might like boys. And even less that I would like a “tired and grumpy cat” (You really look like Aizawa, are you sure that you aren’t his child?).

I’m digressing again, saying things in a straight line it’s very difficult.

Seeing you fight has always been so frikin cool, like when you use your mask to imitate voices and those things. Since we’re on the topic, sorry for borrowing your mask. As I was saying, when you fight you look astonishing, in Kiribro’s words, you look so manly, and I love that.

And when you use your capture weapon you look even more amazing, seeing your arms squeezing and pulling the scarf is so…

It took me a while to realize that in terms of straightness I wasn’t straight. It seems that that was pretty obvious for everyone except for me.

Sero even told me “we know, Denks, that was never a secret”. Thit wis nivir i sicrit… well they must have told me! that would have saved me three years of me being so thirsty about you thinking that it was just because we were really good friends. I think even you knew it.

If it wasn’t for that “what sexuality are you according to your zodiac sign” post I would have never thought about it.

and now that I think off, it was really obvious; I offered me to carry your backpack, I accompanied you to the dorms, I waited for you after classes just to walk with you, I canceled outings with Mina, Sero, Kiribro and Kacchan just because you invited me to see movies and series. My life was based on being at your side.

My self-deception was like historians saying “and they were roommates”. Just friends my ass.

I wanted to be by your side, every moment, every school activity, on the buses when we were on a trip, I even went up to your room, even if it was on the top floor, just to be with you a few more moments.

Being by your side makes me happy.

Maybe if I weren’t by your side a lot of things wouldn’t have changed on me, like the fact that I stopped making jokes like the Mineta ones, they seemed funny before, but now they’re just disgusting.

I also improved my study habits, maybe that was just because you were the one who teached me. It was more entertaining paying attention to you than to any other professor. How could I not pay attention to you with that pretty face that you have?

Although it was hard to accept that speaking to you ruined my sleep schedule, for being a tired grumpy cat you didn’t sleep much, but I enjoyed staying till late hours at night talking to you.

Now that we’re graduating and that I finally understood that what I felt for you is love and not just stupid friendship, I want to be by your side for the rest of our lives.

Spending time watching movies and series together, going for a walk together, fighting against villains together…

Because I know that being side by side, everything is more fun, everything looks more pretty and everything is better.

I love you, Toshi.

— The love of your life.

P.D. My hand hurts a lot for writing so much, but for you I would write till my fingers fell apart.

P.D. 2 When I borrowed your voice changer I might have left it poorly adjusted, don’t forget to change the modulator.

P.D. 3 My mom sends you greetings, she asks for you to visit her again when you can. I think she likes you more than me.

P.D. 4 I think that there were already a lot of postscripts.

P.D. 5 I love you ♥

Notes:

Original Author’s Note:

I created the cover (for wattpad) and title long before to even know what was going to be the plot of the fic, I just knew that it was gonna be ShinKami.

This is one of my favorite ships, it’s so cute!!

Writing as if the fics where letters is my favorite form of telling a story, the letters make it easier to express what I think and don’t know how to say it.

Drink water, sleep well (yeah, I’m writing this at 3 in the morning), and don’t conform to someone that doesn’t want to be by your side forever (In a romantic sense, you don't have to go to the extreme either hahaha)

 

☆☆☆☆☆

The postscripts thing is a reference to Cars 2 (I love that movie, I don’t get why people hate it so much).

I try to use more slang but since I’m not a native speaker and I’m not in a place where I can learn it is very difficult. I’m depending on IA's translating sentences that are in Spanish (more specifically Mexican) slang and I don’t know how to represent them.

Like the “solo amigos mis huevos” would be literally translated as “just friends my balls” (even more literally: my eggs) but as far as I know is more common to say “my ass” and not “my balls”. Maybe it was just my brain thinking that it doesn’t sound right.

This has nothing to do with that, but why is it so hard to find a job? A lot of places have vacancies but as soon as they discover that I’m a student they reject me, even if they have temporary vacancies for the holidays they reject me. I NEED MONEY!!
