Drawn to You Chapter 13: Can’t take my eyes off you

You adjusted the straps on your backpack and straightened your skirt as you made your way to school.

“Man why am I always so freakin’ nervous!! Just take that damn chill pill already and calm yo tits.” You scowled at yourself trying to focus on relaxing before getting to school.

It had been 1 week since you and Shoto had started dating and every little thing he did caused an uproar in your soul. Just hearing his name was enough to give you a heart attack. You were lovestruck. LovePUMMELED more like it. The infatuation with your man was waaaay over the top but you loved this feeling.

You sighed happily as you recalled snippets of memories with Shoto. The first kiss at camp, his sneaky hand holding in class as you sat side by side. Those gorgeous heterochromic eyes, as they stole glances at you or just blatantly took you all in. You shuddered with excitement as you remembered.

As you rounded the corner to school you spied a familiar figure casually leaning up against the UA boundary wall with his eyes shut. Your heart leapt in your throat as you drew closer. “God can he be anymore gorgeous?!” You thought as you got closer to your boyfriend.

“Hello beautiful.” Shoto opened his eyes and watched you take the last few steps toward him. “H-H-Hey youuu.” You replied. He chuckled as he saw how deep the blush was across your face.

“Are my words embarrassing Y/N?” Shoto leaned down to make eye contact. You blinked and hurriedly looked away.

“N-N-No, I Umm… I really like it.” You said fidgeting nervously, still looking away.

“Ok.” He said quietly, taking your hand in his. “Let’s get going.” You stole a glance at him, he was smiling softly.

You walked into school hand in hand but before long he let your hand go as there was a strict rule about student ‘dating etiquette.’ You were sad he let go. You loved holding his hand.

“Y/N would you like to have lunch on the rooftop today?” Shoto asked suddenly.

“Oh yes please!” You replied enthusiastically. “That’d be awesome.”

“Good.” Shoto replied, his eyes shining.

“See you soon.” Shoto winked and stood up from his desk.

You nodded and giggled nervously as your heart pounded. “That WINK ohmygod.”

Y/N.exe has stopped working.

You made your way to your bag and pulled out the lunch your Dad had packed and made your way to the stairs that lead to the roof. You and Shoto had eaten lunch together before but it was usually in a group setting. This was the first time you were eating together.

Reaching the top of the stairs you reached out for the metal handle to open the door. “It’s warm?! Wait, why is it warm??” Metal handles were usually cold weren’t they? You pushed the door open and stepped out. Shoto was sitting up against the wall, head back, eyes closed, arms resting atop his bent knees. He had loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top 2 buttons of his school uniform.

The soft breeze ruffled his hair and collar as your eyes travelled to his slightly exposed chest. Your breathing hitched at the beautiful sight. He greeted you without opening his eyes and you took a seat beside him.

“How did you know it was me?” You asked curiously.

“I always know when it’s you,” He replied softly. “I can feel your presence.”

“How so?” You coaxed, you wanted him to elaborate.

“I just feel calmer.” Shoto replied opening his eyes and gazing at you softly. “I don’t need to see you to know you’re there, I really like you Y/N.”

You blushed heavily. “I really like you too Shoto, you make me weak at the knees.” You confessed with a nervous giggle.

“Is that why you’re sitting now? Are you ok? Should I carry you to the infirmary?” Shoto eyed you worriedly.

“No no I’m fine!” You laughed a bit at how Shoto took everything so literally.

“Was it the door?” Shoto asked quietly. “Did it overheat you?”

“Wh… What?” Confusion written across your face.

“The uh… the door…” Shoto shifted nervously. “I warmed the handle slightly so it wouldn’t be cold for you when you opened it.” He looked away embarrassed.

Your eyes widened. “Y-you warmed it? With your quirk?”

“Umm yeah… was it too hot?” Shoto asked still avoiding eye contact.

“Not at all! I’m just surprised you would do something so thoughtful? NOT THAT YOU’RE NOT THOUGHTFUL!!” You desperately tried to rephrase your sentence waving your arms wildly and kneeling to face him. “Just, no one would think of warming the handle of a door for someone else’s comfort! That’s all?”

Shoto looked at you surprised. “But I’m always thinking about you? Why wouldn’t I do something for your comfort?”

You blushed again. “I can’t handle this chivalry!!”

He gazed deeply into your eyes, switching to look from your left eye to your right then glanced at your lips. You leaned in and he took the opportunity to kiss you. Placing his left hand gently on your cheek. As you broke apart he rubbed his thumb across your cheekbone sighed softly.

“You’re so beautiful Y/N.” He breathed.

You smiled sheepishly. “Not as beautiful as you.” You winked at him. He blushed and coughed as the heat rose in his cheeks.

You sat back and opened your lunchbox. He did the same and you shared the contents of your lunchboxes between the two of you.

As lunch concluded you looked up at the sky and took a deep breath in, closing your eyes to truly appreciate the feeling. As you did you heard the sound of a phone camera click. Your eyes shot open.

“Did….? Did you just take a picture of me?! You asked incredulously as you realized Shoto was sitting holding his phone in hand. He was smiling at the screen.

“I just can’t take my eyes off you.” He said smiling at his phone.
