Aizawa has never been so sure of it in his whole life.
But the realization hit him so powerfully that he didnāt care that he just said goodbye to you this evening after a romantic date out. Or that he knew you will come by to his place tomorrow morning for brunch.
Nor did he care that it was currently 12:34 a.m midnight and he was on his way to your apartment right now on a heavy raining night. His mind was so fully absorbed about you that he didnāt even realized he forgot to bring an umbrella until he stepped into a taxi cab heading towards your place.
The days the two of you spent together were so much more than a friendship, and how it all felt so right urged him to want to say a few specific words to you that keeps pounding in his mind. His mind has never felt so clear before, it was like a shrouded fog has finally lifted in his head. And as he sat in the back of the taxi, body all soaked from the rain, he reflected back at everything the two of you have done together.
Waking up in the morning, seeing your hazy eyes blink so dumbfoundedly cute, it made him like mornings slightlymore whenever it was with you. Or those late midnight chats in bed when the two of you canāt sleep and will just talk the night away about your deepest emotions and desires. It was like secrets once treasured so carefully now all spilled out so freely and comfortablyāknowing that it would be locked safe with you. Your gentle and sweet reassurance that everything was going to be okay when work began piling up, made him feel like nothing was truly impossible. The way you smile, laugh, or even your constant tease, flashed through his mind so powerfully that he has never felt so powerfully passionate about love beforeā¦until now.
When he stepped off the cab and ran towards your apartment, he took a deep breath before knocking. It was past midnight and his spontaneous exit out of his apartment just finally dawned on him when he held his hand a few inches away from your door. The rain continued to pour on his head, sending droplets trickled down his face and arm. He wasnāt sure if you were awake but nevertheless, he knocked three sharp knocks on your door. He knocked again when there was no answer. He ran his fingers nervously to his now wet hair and knocked again.
Again and again, and again, untilā
āWHO THE HELL KEEPS KNOCKING AT THIS TIME OF DAY!?ā You demanded when you suddenly slammed open your door grumpily. You widened your eyes when you saw your boyfriend standing right in front of you, body all soaked in a middle of a raining night.
āShouta!? I-I didnāt know it was you, Iām so sorry,ā you said as your cheeks grew a bit warmer when you played back your sudden outburst earlier in your head. But when you looked up, you realized Aizawaās eyes seemed so serious and urgent that your face immediately changed to a concern expression. You wondered what has happened that made him come to you at this time of night. āWhat are you doing here? Is there something wrong? You seemāā
āI love you.ā
The three words knocked you a step back, taking you by surprised. Your eyes widened in shock. āW-what did you just say?ā You asked, voice slightly shaky.
Aizawaās clothes and hair stuck to his skin uncomfortably from the rain, but he didnāt care and instead, he smiled at you. Even though you were in your pjs and your hair was tangled up into a messy bun, you looked beyond beautiful in his eyes. He looked at you so deeply, knowing that whatever he was doing right at this momentāas crazy as it may beāit felt right.
And he was sure of it.
āI said, I love you.ā
Your breath hitched immediately and you clamped your hand over your mouth as a warm rush of emotion pierce through your heart. Five seconds pass, then ten, your eyes turning even more glossy as time passes. But before Aizawa could second-guess your reaction, you suddenly grabbed one of his hand and pulled him in for a kiss.
You could feel your boyfriendās heart pounding loudly in his chest, and it was true. Aizawa has never felt his nerves running this fast in his life, but when you cupped one of his cheek, he immediately melted into your touch and the feeling gradually shifted to a warm buzz-- like an oddly sensational, but wonderful numb. He no longer felt the cold breeze of the rain but rather the cozy warmness from your soft kiss.
The two of you were now standing out on your front door and your hair began to grow damp from the pouring rainābut you didnāt mind at all. The sheen tear that coated your eyes still glimmered under the moonlight and you held Aizawaās hand close to your chest when you parted away from the kiss.
You looked up at your boyfriend and squeezed his hand a bit tighter.
āI love you, too,ā you whispered back with a smile. The rain plunged thunderously outside but Aizawa heard those words leave your mouth as clear as crystal. He jutted out a sharp breath of relief--almost like a laugh--and wrapped his arms around you with a smile. Your pjs were now soaked from his touch but you hugged him back as passionately as ever.
āItās raining hard, Shouta. Youāll get sick,ā you laughed with your arms still wrapped around his.
Aizawa pulled away but rested his forehead on yours. āI justā¦ had this sudden urge to tell you, and it all came crashing so strongly,ā he gave a sheepish smile. āI just had to tell you now...that I love you, and I want to be with you, like this...forever. ā
āWellā¦,ā you said cupping his left cheek. A wet droplet ran down your face but you didnāt know whether it was a tear or the rain, maybe it was both. But you smiled warmly at him, blinking your eyes to try to sustain the overwhelming, wonderful emotion bubbling in your heart.
āI love you too, Aizawa Shouta.ā You kissed him again and dragged him inside your apartment so he wouldnāt get attacked by the violent rain anymore.
And after getting cleaned up, giving Aizawa a new set of clothes that he left at your place last week, and changing into a new set of pajamas for yourself, the two of you cuddled up on the couch comfortably. You rested your head on Aizawaās chest and looked up at him with a smile. He caressed your shoulder and mirrored back your expression with a sweet kiss on your forehead.
Even though the rain continued to pour coldly outside, warm ecstasy filled your apartment as the two of you exchanged āI love yousā until you both fell back asleep with hearts full of love.
