Done with his intern duties for the day, Shun decided to go back and rest up for the day.
Teleporting to his house, Shun looked at the wall clock and sighed.
"It's already this late," said Shun to no one in particular. He didn't feel physically tired since his stamina was directly connected to his energy pool making it such that he only felt tired when he used too much of his energy...or depleted it completely.
But mental fatigue was something else. He had a lot of things to worry about. Hero work, his family, his blood-related family that he needs to keep an eye out for, his safety, and now probably his well-off romantic life which he doesn't believe will be well-off much longer.
Deciding to not focus on his worries for a while Shun decided to relax in the bath for a while and get cleaned.
Later that night Shun was checking his fridge to decide what to do for dinner.
*Ring*
Hearing his phone ring Shun closed the fridge and checked who called him.
"...Ah, it will get more difficult the more I delay," said Shun as he picked up the call.
"Hello, Nejire."
"..."
Shun could hear her breath through the phone and knew that she could hear him.
"Are you at your home?" asked Shun.
"...Yes."
"Good, I am coming over."
"W-wait Mom and Dad aren't at home!"
"That's why I am coming. See you in a sec," said Shun as he cut the call without waiting for her answer and teleported to her house.
Appearing directly in her room, Shun saw Nejire sitting on her bed with her back resting against the wall and a blush on her cheeks.
Once she noticed Shun, Nejire immediately started to fix her clothes and hair and then looked back at Shun.
The two remained silent with Shun waiting for her to speak what she wanted to say.
"...If you are gonna take time, let me order some dinner. I haven't eaten since morning," said Shun as he took out his phone.
"Pizza good with you? My treat" said Shun.
Nejire nodded her head after hearing Shun's offer.
Shun nodded and soon ordered his dinner and sat in front of Nejire.
"So what did you want to talk about?" asked Shun.
"...nothing. I just wanted to talk to you...and you know...maybe...know your answer," said Nejire in a hesitant tone.
Shun smiled seeing the hesitant girl. She honestly looked too cute to him and right now seeing her defenseless and freshly out of the bath, Shun felt that she looked even more charming.
"Nejire, please hear me out. Just let me speak first. And please don't ask questions that I don't want to answer, alright?" asked Shun.
Nejire looked at Shun feeling that he was about to reject her, but seeing the serious look on his face Nejire calmed down her emotions, took a deep breath, and nodded.
Shun was about to speak but Nejire raised her hand and said, "I will not interrupt but...can you hug me from behind while you speak...even if it is the last time..."
Shun stared at her and nodded his head.
Nejire smiled and both of them changed their positions now Shun sat by the wall while Nejire sat in front of him with his hands wrapped around her waist.
'...Calm down Shun, things are not sorted yet.' thought Shun as he felt Nejire's soft body in his hands. She smelled nice and right now looked extremely attractive to Shun, adding onto it she confessed to him today thus making it incredibly hard for the pent-up Shun to hold himself back.
Nejire smiled not knowing of Shun's internal struggles and leaned back on his chest with a smile on her face.
"It feels nice and safe..." muttered Nejire.
'...Good for you.' thought Shun as tried his best to hold himself back.
"So, shall I start?" asked Shun.
"Yes."
"Ok then. Nejire, about what happened today. Seeing that villain was about to pull the trigger while holding you hostage and knowing that you could have died, made me very scared and angry. Scared because I thought that I was about to lose you today. And angry because I couldn't just kill that guy. Nejire I might seem calm and all most of the time, but you should know this. I am not kind."
Nejire felt Shun's arms tighten around him and the sadness in his tone.
"I have lost a lot of people whom I thought were close to me and have been betrayed and harmed by people who should have been on my side. I find it hard to trust others. There are only a few people who are close to me and whom I actually care about. I can kill people who try to harm me or those whom I care about and have killed a lot of people before." said Shun as he felt Nejire flinch a bit.
She looked back at Shun's face with a surprised look on her face.
"Surprised?" asked Shun to which Nejire nodded.
"Scared of me?" asked Shun to which Nejire shook her head in denial.
Shun nodded not yet believing that she wasn't scared of him. He knew how society was. The people talked badly even about heroes who had to kill villains as their last measure. He knew that they were naive not knowing the struggles of subduing a strong villain without killing.
Though he wasn't a person who will kill without reason, society didn't have a mentality like his.
"Continuing... I have a lot of problems Nejire, and there is someone super dangerous after my life. You told me your feelings today, and that made me happy. But I am saying this now, if you get close to me your life might be in danger not to mention you might hear people's dissatisfaction or curse you if any of the bad things I have done come out to light. Before you think much, I have not done anything that bad and most of it was for self-defense."
Nejire nodded but suddenly realized something, and asked, "...most of it?"
"...Well there was a time when Itsuka's dad's boss was being an asshole and Itsuka was very sad and tense because of that so I just did some background checking and threatened some people...nothing that serious..." 'Though there are some more scenarios not as righteous as this one.' thought Shun.
"So there it is Nejire, I am not exactly who you know, I have a lot of secrets and have done many things that society will fear. You are important to me but that can lead you to danger. So what do you say?" asked Shun.
Nejire who was lying on Shun's chest looked up at his face and asked, "...How does it feel to kill?"
"Hm, I don't feel anything much, Though that may have been a problem with me. I was not mentally "normal" from a young age." replied Shun
"When did you first kill a human?"
"At 4, after my quirk awakened."
"Can you tell me about it?"
"No, and don't try to pry or search on your own. I have deleted most of the files that I could have hacked into. So don't inform the authorities by making my name come up in their search databases."
Nejire nodded and then got out of his embrace and sat in front of him and hugged him.
"I don't know about your past or the things that you have done. I believe you, Shun. So I would believe that you killed people only because there was no other way and you most certainly don't enjoy killing...right?"
"Nope, nothing to enjoy. If you have to kill someone then that means you will have more troublesome situations and I absolutely hate that," said Shun.
"Hm, that's the Shun that I know and love. The Shun who cares about me. Of course, you have a lot of secrets that you cannot talk about and I really am curious about all of them....but I won't ask if you don't want to tell me. I will wait, but please tell me one day, alright?"
"...We will see about that."
"Good enough for now, and as for me getting into danger, when has hero job not been like that? I can take care of myself and if can not know you will save me," said Nejire with a smile.
"You trust me too much."
"Because there is no reason not to trust you. You always look after me."
"*Sigh*Get a bit more suspicious of people for f*ck's sake."
"Hehe...so Shun I will say this once again...I love you," said Nejire and kissed him.
Shun who was kissed out of nowhere once again for the second time today was surprised once again but soon sighed and said, "You have a bad choice in men..."
"Hmph, my choice is the best. After all, it's you," said Nejire with a smile as she hugged him tightly.
"You really know how to act cute."
"Hehe, thanks. So Shun will you answer my confession now?" asked Nejire feeling very positive that Shun will accept after all their talk.
"...There is just one more problem..."
"What now?" asked Nejire in a slightly irritated tone.
"...I already am in a relationship with someone," said Shun.
Nejire blinked her eyes in surprise and said, "...That's it. I already guessed that."
"Huh?"
"I already had a feeling that you were going out with someone when I found sexy underwear at your place...I hope that it wasn't Grandma Chiyo's...." said Nejire.
"...That damn rabbit. I had told her to not leave her stuff behind...wait so you had a guess and still confessed to me?"
"Hm? What's the problem with confessing? I like you and I told my feelings to you hoping that you will accept it. What does it have to do with the fact that you have a girlfriend?"
"...I don't know? Feeling jealous or angry," answered Shun.
"Why would I? Even Mom and Dad have multiple people they are in a relationship with and they are happy," answered Nejire.
"...Right? People frown upon killing not polygamy...I forgot." said Shun to himself.
Sighing once again Shun felt a slight headache as he remembered Rumi.
"...Nejire, I like you too. Though I can't answer you yet. I will introduce you to my current girlfriend first and if she accepts then only I will say yes...Even though I want to say it right now." said Shun.
"...So you said yes, right?" asked Nejire.
"...F*ck"
"Hehe, thank you, Shun. I really love you," said Nejire as she pushed Shun onto the bed and kissed him once again
'...Great I did one thing I thought I would never do...though I don't regret it.' said Shun as he kissed her back.
Soon the two started to get heated up as the excited Nejire continued to kiss him again and again.
The two looked at each other with blushing faces as hot breath came out of Nejire's mouth which along with her blushing face made Shun push away his reasoning.
He grabbed her shoulders and changed their spots immediately.
Looking down on the beautiful girl who closed her eyes invitingly made Shun gulp as he slowly caressed her face.
*BZZZZ*
Hearing the doorbell Shun comically fell on top of Nejire's boobs making the girl snap back to reality.
"Looks like the pizza is here..." said Nejire.
"...I hate pizza from this day forward," said Shun as he sighed in between her breasts making Nejire pat Shun's head to console him.
