"so, you're asking how did I get along with your father?"
the child wiggled in your arms with a soft nod, her sparkling eyes blinked, stared in your soul awaiting.
"alright, my princess, I'll tell you. but aren't you a little too young for this kind of stuff?"
you playfully questioned before the little pout of hers formed into a big one, you chuckled and kissed her forehead. those baby arms tightened around your waist as you came back to that moment.
summer in those high school years, eating ice cream on a holiday beside the pool, just the two of you watching your friends being chaotic around, water splashed everywhere.
"so, we've been best friends for years and you don't even bother telling me if you've got a crush"
that's you, being bold and young, but you can't escape the embarrassing pressure you put on the question, eyes wandering to nowhere in the bright sky.
"I do, didn't I tell you?" the red-n-white headed hummed.
your ice cream began to melt as you licked the sweetness remain on the lips, mm, it taste a little more bitter than it used to as you watch him by the corner of your eyes.
"well, I didn't sick or give up studying at school, I stay with you all the time and I still didn't know"
shoto blinked, are you really dumb or you're just pretending?
"midoriya says it's obvious, why didn't you recognise?"
"I'm not recognising what? but that was unexpected, bet your crush is really cute," you giggled, trying to make the statement sound like a joke to hide the embarrassment. you didn't note the little laugh escaped his lips.
"don't overly praise yourself, y/n"
your heart exploded, trying to catch up with the thing he has just said. there he was, sitting beside you with a hand softly covering his blushing face, blaming the hot weather today in a mumbling tone.
you grabbed some tissue with a cloud nine smile that you cannot put it down, handed it to his hand which is also masked in melted ice cream.
"oh I see," your laugh bubbled. "so your crush is super pretty."
the door closed behind the tall figure slowly walked towards the sly child who is giggling by her parent's cute story
"papa! you're so cute" she wrapped her arms around his neck
"awww sho, did you just use the line again?" he leaned down to press his lips against yours. "i won't stop teasing you, your blush is the cutest"
"no I'm not, you naughty human, I'll take my baby to sleep and will punish you later."
