cw: f!reader, no curses high school au, fluff and slice of life — in which you confess your feelings to your long-time crush Satoru, the handsome life of the party who also happens to be in the same friend group as you. You're both pretty stupid in love, too.

Confessing your feelings to your crush on Valentine's Day is perhaps the most cliche thing to ever cross your mind, but you decided: let's make it ironic and actually mean it. Life is short and high school is even shorter. And with your graduation slowly approaching, you figured fuck it, what's the worst that could happen, right?

Oh, you thought of all the ways this confession could backfire on you. You and Satoru were friends, after all. Confessing to a stranger was probably better—

Wait, why would you think that confessing to a stranger was any better? You must have really lost it in all of the hysteria surrounding the fast-approaching commercialised holiday...

...And you've undoubtedly lost it even more now that Shoko pointed out it was already February 13. Your best friend found your panic amusing, but not anymore when you were pulling her along to the nearest grocery store after classes.

"Wait a sec! Why're you dragging me along with you?"

"Sho-chan, aren't you going to get any chocolate for Hime-chan?!"

"Hgk— W-Well, I..."

"I thought so! No complaining!"

Shoko was quickly and easily sold on the thought of seeing her girlfriend's elated expression after having received chocolate from her, and she was even quicker to agree with you when you asked her for help in baking the sweets.

"I'm a little worried about confessing to Toru, Sho-chan. What if I make things awkward around us? This could go wrong in so many ways—"

"Oh, geez, you and your doomsday syndrome. Have you ever thought of all the ways it could go right?"

When Valentine's Day came the following morning, you happily handed your friends each a box of Meiji Apollo Strawberry Chocolate, Shoko following suit. While Suguru and Kento gave you a calm 'thanks for the chocolate', Satoru and Yu were already contentedly munching on the candy even though the day was just starting.

A steady stream of girls have come up to your friends with sweets in their hands, with Suguru receiving a bit more than everyone else. Still, their school bags were filled to the brim with chocolates and their pockets too, without a doubt, with scented letters of adoration and confessions. The whole thing was outrageously cliche and almost funny to you until you remembered that you were just about to confess yourself.

It was under the shade of the blooming cherry blossoms outside your school, just a few paces away from the rest of your warm and boisterous crowd of friends when you pulled Satoru by the sleeve and fished out the carefully wrapped bear-shaped cookies from your bag. "This is for you, Toru."

"Huh? But I already got your chocolate from earlier..." He replied with a rather confused look on his face.

He was so handsome that it hurt. How was it that he made your heart physically clench in your chest when his bewildered expression softened into a smile?

"Yeah, I know, b-but this is..." You stammered at him as he tenderly took the pack from your hands, admiring how adorable the animal-shaped cookies were from the outside and the curl of the silk ribbon that tied everything together. He didn't miss the slight tremble from you when your fingertips brushed ever so slightly.

"Is this... what I think it is?" Satoru asked, his smile as bright as a beam of sunlight filtering through the rosy foliage overhead.

"Y—" You started, only for you to bite your lip and stomp away from him in complete embarrassment, trying to catch up to Shoko or Suguru to hide in their shadows or something— anything. I knew this was a bad idea. I knew I'd get teased for it. I—

"Hey, come back here! I'm not gonna wait for White Day to come to respond to your feelings!" He hurriedly grabbed you by the hand before you could run any further. "Don't you wanna hear what I have to say?"

"I-I didn't think I'd get this far!" You stammered at him once more. "I know I told myself I'm ready for rejection but th-this is all a huge mistake! I should have known I'd make everything awkward with this—"

"I-I was totally happy I got friendship chocolate from you! I mean, you considered me that important! I was already over the moon!" He shot right back at you. "B-But then I get... this!"

Satoru raised the little bag of treats he received from you, a blush rising from his neck as he was just as embarrassed as you. "This is h... honmei chocolate, right?"

"I-It is! Just like every other chocolate in your bag," you replied to him, but his grip around your wrist tightened even further.

"That doesn't matter! Yours is..."

A thousand thoughts raced through your head as you stood there, like time and everything else around you were in suspended animation and some kind of deep freeze. But it wasn't cold. No, not at all, not when Satoru's grip on you was burning hot.

Though his face to the tips of his ears were bright red, he still managed to proudly burst out just how much he appreciated your gesture. "You baked these yourself, right? I like these the most!"

"Y-You haven't even tried them!..." You replied. "A-And you don't have to be so nice to me, Toru! You... You can tell me upfront if you don't—"

"Wh-What do you mean by that? Hey, have you even looked at me?!"

You were so wrapped up in your own embarrassment that you didn't even notice how flushed he was and all you could retort was, "Why are you all red, Toru?!"

His pretty blue eyes were wide and sparkling with surprise at your exclamation and he couldn't help but burst into laughter— his low, hearty laughter that always pulled at your heart so— at how utterly stupid you both were now that everything was out in the open.

"Okay, okay, I think that's... That's everything," Satoru stated as he managed to settle down the excitement bubbling in his chest. "I like you too."

"Y... You do?"

"Yeah, I like you so much that I'd say it outright, even though I didn't hear from you at all," he nodded at you. "At least let me hear you say it!"

"Are you for real?! It's too embarrassing!"

Funny how you were saying that after giving him those cookies with the intention of letting him know how you felt about him.

He pouted at you like a teary-eyed dog denied his treats. A fluff, majestic, absolutely adorable Great Pyrenees. "Please?"

And when you looked down at your hands, his fingers were laced with yours. Like a dream. A dream come true. The deepest and innermost breathings of your heart made manifest.

Toru likes me.

So why the hell were you denying this man such a simple request?

"I like you, Toru. A lot."

Another smile lit his face, calm, sweet, and mirthful.

Now far away from you were Shoko and Suguru, both of them trying their best to be careful so you wouldn't notice their mutual chuckling.

"They're so stupid that it's almost cute," she remarked. "And Gojo used his brain for once. Today's been productive."

"Still, how they managed to be so oblivious and not notice how they felt for each other is beyond me," he stated with a laugh. "Then again, it's natural for friends to care for each other. I suppose not much will change even though they're dating and all. They can still do all the stuff we usually do, except they can already kiss."

"No doubt she's been waiting a looong time to do that," Shoko said as she unwrapped a lollipop and offered another to her friend. Another low chuckle escaped Suguru's lips as he accepted the sweet.

"She's not the only one."
