Inspiration slapped me at the worst time. On February 10, 1:05 am, two days before our exams. *sigh* no matter. I wanted to start this earlier, but nothing came up until said time. Hope you enjoy. The whole chapter is in 3rd person cause it's special. Additionally, since this is a special chapter, events that happened here didn't happen in the story's canon timeline, so you may also call it so.e sort of oneshot. Although, the gifts provided by them and the pictures taken will be present in the timeline given. This takes place a little bit after the final exams and a little bit before training camp. Now, prepare for a cliche ass chapter.
(The flower pen)

(The heart locket)

(The music box) (

Inside. Ignore the ballerina and pretend it isn't there. Instead of the mirror, it's like some sort of screen that projects videos with audio and pictures too. And about the jewelry, it will be replaced with something else, it will be explained later on)

(Outside)

3rd person pov
The sound of the bell ringing was music to everyone's ears. It was finally a weekend. A fine Friday afternoon, school had just ended, and better yet, Today was the day of hearts, A.k.a valentine's day. The entirety of class 1-A rushed to pack their things. The girls had planned a trip to the mall as a class. Everyone agreed, heck, even Bakugo!- of course, with the help of Kirishima. The plan was to go to the mall, split up to buy each other gifts, then gather back at the food court to exchange gifts and have an afternoon snack. L/n was the first to finish. She stood by the doorway, waiting for everyone. The excitement she felt was evident in her heterochromia eyes. She knew exactly what to get everyone, at least, thanks to the list she created earlier during break time.

One by one, more students stood by the doorway, waiting for their classmates to finish. With the last student finishing up, the class walked with each other to the gate, heading off to the mall. Joyous chatter was heard all around. Some stuck with their group for the meantime, while others talked in pairs or just joined in on others' conversations. The trip to the mall was quick, considering its distance from school wasn't all too far. The students quickly gathered in the plaza, then split afterward. L/n, Midoriya, Iida, Yoayorozu, Tokoyami, and Todoroki knew exactly where to go and what to buy, thanks to the planning they had just previously done. L/n had already gotten half of the gifts she intended to buy everyone. Now, she had just passed by a familiar music box store she paid a visit to weeks ago.

"Good afternoon, what can I- oh! It's you! You're the one that bought the custom made music box, right?" The girl at the cashier claimed. "Yeah. Is it done?" L/n asked. "Yeah. The team just finished yesterday. It's already wrapped. You may claim it now." The girl stated. L/n nodded and gave a quick thanks before taking the box that the girl placed on the counter. She put the box in one of her many shopping bags, then proceeded to buy more gifts, not only for her classmates but also for her parents and Inko. Soon, she passed by another familiar store that her parents so happened to love. A grin spread across her face as she slowly entered the said shop.

~~~~~

"Y/n-chan!" A masculine voice called. She turned her head to the side, to see her childhood friend running towards her carrying numerous bags. "You're done too?" He asked. L/n nodded and smiled at the taller male. "Oh! Well, in that case, let me help you!" He exclaimed. L/n raised an eyebrow at this, but as soon as she felt a few of her shopping bags being taken, her eyes widened in shock, finally realizing what he meant. "H-hey! It's okay! You don't need to carry them for me!" She assured. "But I insist! They looked heavy, so I might as well be a gentleman and help you out, right?" He claimed. L/n's cheeks flushed red at the boy's actions. He was being so polite, and it was cute!

L/n smiled and accepted his offer. They walked to the food court together, where they were met with their classmates, who seemed to have finished earlier than they did. "Midoriya! L/n! Just on time! We were just about to start!" Kaminari claimed. And so, the gift exchange began. The rules were simple. Iida, the class rep, will draw names from a box. Whoever has a gift for the person who's name was drawn may give their gift. Todoroki was drawn first. He received quite a lot of things related to soba, but the gifts that stood out were Midoriya's and L/n's.

Midoriya provided Todoroki with some of his favorite food, accompanied by numerous pictures of him with his friends. There was one where he was with Iida, Midoriya, L/n, and Uraraka; another one where he was with only Midoriya and L/n; another where he was with only Iida and Midoriya; and finally, one where it was only him and Midoriya. A message was also present on a piece of paper attached to the frame. 'Not all friendships start with common interests. A good example would be ours. It started with an antagonistic view of each other with a mix of competition. Then, there came the most important part of friendship. Understanding. All of us understand the pain you went through now that you've opened up, and we accepted you and tried our best to make you feel better. Remember, a friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you for who you are.' It read.

A small smile formed on Todoroki's face after reading. It was very true, and it was, in fact, the story and the whole concept of his friendship with Midoriya. He gave Midoriya a smile and a 'thank you' then began to open L/n's gift. "I know it isn't much, but I thought you would appreciate it. It's a little similar to Deku's gift for you." L/n claimed. It was a photo album of him and his memories. From new pictures with his siblings and his mom to pictures of him and his friends. It was absolutely filled with his good memories. And on the last page, were letters from his siblings, his mother, his friends, and even L/n herself. Todoroki smiled at her and Midoriya. "You two sure think alike, don't you? Is that some sort of side effect for being childhood friends?" Todoroki asked. The two shrugged and laughed, while Todoroki smiled at them.

After a while, only Midoriya and L/n haven't been drawn. "L/n!" Iida called. One by one, the class approached her. Turns out, everyone had a gift for the class's female heartthrob. She received various chocolates and flowers from her classmates. Then, came Todoroki, Bakugo, and Midoriya. Bakugo was first. He walked up to L/n carrying a bouquet of flowers, shocking everyone in the class. She was the only person he got a gift for. It was a bouquet of f/c (insert favorite flower). L/n looked up at him and smiled. Bakugo's face had a hint of pink dusted on his cheeks. He looked away and shoved the flowers towards her. "Thanks, Bakugo!" L/n exclaimed. His eyes met hers, and his cheeks burned an even brighter red. "You-you're welcome... I-I MEAN! WHATEVER DUMBASS! I DIDN'T EXPECT ANYONE TO BUY YOU ANYTHING SO I DECIDED TO BE NICE AND BUY YOU YOUR FAVORITES!" He exclaimed. "Bakugo's being a tsundere!" Ashido teased. "NO I'M NOT! WHAT THE HELL DO I HAVE TO DENY?!" He exclaimed again. The class laughed at his antics.

Next, was Todoroki. He got her a load of flower-themed items. There was the (favorite flower) pen with the gold body and outlines. (Refer to picture above for an example). There were the (favorite flower) gold hair clips too, and even a (favorite flower) bracelet. "When I heard this was your favorite flower, I had the urge to buy them when I saw them, so I did," Todoroki claimed. L/n smiled and thanked him. Last, was Midoriya. He held out a small box wrapped with white wrapping paper and tied with a red ribbon.

L/n pulled the ribbon off and tore off the wrapping paper. A red velvet box was revealed. She opened it to be met with a heart-shaped locket. Engraved in the heart was a heart-shaped f/c diamond (picture above again). "Open it!" Ashido urged. She obliged, and a sight that brought tears to her eyes was revealed. It was pictures of them from their childhood. "I had it custom made to fit multiple pictures. You can flip through them if you want, " Midoriya said. L/n did as suggested, and flipped through each picture. There was one of them playing in the playground, then a picture of them running around, a picture of them watching an all might video, a picture of them sleeping in that oversized sleeping bag they shared, and a few more. She kept flipping through the pictures until she reached the end. Or so she thought.

"There's more, " Midoriya claimed. He pressed some sort of button, then that half of the locket opened. In that half, pictures of them in middle school and high school were presented. There was a picture of them in L/n's garden, a picture of Midoriya carrying L/n, a picture of them near Aldera's gates, a picture of them in a classroom, a picture of them in the cafeteria, and so much more. "Deku... This is amazing! I love it!" L/n exclaimed, hugging Midoriya out of joy. Midoriya's cheeks flushed red. He smiled at the shorter female and finger-combed her hair. "I'm glad you like it. Want me to help you put it on?" He asked. L/n nodded and handed him the necklace.

He gently placed it around her neck, then clasped the lock, successfully putting it on. His hand traveled from the necklace to the side of L/n's face. He gently ran the back of his hand down the side of her face, cupping it when he reached her cheek. L/n's face flushed red at his actions. He stared lovingly into her big heterochromia eyes, completely forgetting about his classmates. Time stopped and their surroundings became imperceptible. Like two magnets, the two drew closer to each other, their eyes slowly closing with each inch they close. Their lips lightly brushed against each other, about to lock, when, "KYAAAA!" a voice squealed. "Mina! You interrupted them!" Hagakure exclaimed. The two flinched and practically jumped away from each other, their faces turning a deep shade of red. "Sorry! It was just so cute!" She said, defending herself.

The two rubbed the back of their necks in embarrassment, looking away from each other. "Can we just continue..?" L/n requested and the rest of the class nodded in agreement. "Well, only Midoriya-kun is left... I guess I'll go first!" Asui exclaimed. She handed him a small box. Midoriya opened it quickly, curious to see what was inside. "No way! This is the latest merch!" Midoriya exclaimed. It was an all might keychain. The keychain had multiple small all might figurines, each one with him in a different stage of his career. From his bronze age to his gold age, they were all there. "I heard from Y/n-chan that all might was your long time idol, so I went to a shop that sells his merch. Spoiler alert, I saw a few of our other classmates in the said store, so you might receive a handful of all might gifts, " Asui claimed.

And so, everyone proceeded to give him gifts. Asui's claim was right, he did receive a bunch of all might gifts. Last to give their gift was L/n. Diverse from the others she was, for she gave him an even bigger box than the rest of the class provided. Midoriya knew we'll enough that no all might figure was that big, so he became skeptical. What could she possibly have for him that was that big? Could it be an all might figure he missed out on? Or was it something completely different? The answer to this wouldn't be known until he opened the gift, so he didn't delay any longer. Midoriya, along with the class, stared intently at the gift, curious as to what it was.

"A music box?" The class questioned. "Open it at home. It gets a little personal there, " L/n claimed. Midoriya nodded, then gently placed the box inside one of his bags. "Alright everyone, tell me what you want to order!" Iida exclaimed. Food names we're shouted from then on. Midoriya and L/n looked at each other, then smiled. "Two orders of Katsudon for us!" L/n and Midoriya clamored. The rest of the orders have been decided, and so Iida went to the counter to order, while the rest of the class continued their chatter. Soon enough, the food had arrived, and so, the class feasted upon their favorites, chattering while doing so.

"Well, this is my stop!" L/n exclaimed. They had been walking for around ten minutes, and they had finally arrived at L/n's manor. She twisted the doorknob, slightly opening the door, then turned back to Midoriya. "Happy valentine's day, Deku..." She trailed. "Happy valentine's..." As if they were continuing where they left out from earlier, they drew closer to each other once more. Their eyes slowly closed as they inched closer and closer, until, "Izuku? Y/n? Is that you?" A feminine voice called.

Inko peeked out from the door, causing L/n to step away from Midoriya, chuckling nervously while doing so. Midoriya groaned loudly, catching both L/n and Inko's attention, and even L/n's parents, who were inside the house. Midoriya shook his head, signaling he was fine. The two were brought inside by Inko, who was apparently visiting to celebrate Valentine's Day. L/n- or Y/n, brought out her gifts for her parents and Inko, so did Midoriya. The three thanked them and invited them to eat the food Y/n gifted them, which they refused since they had already eaten. They went up to Y/n's room, where Midoriya- who may also be called Izuku or Deku, opened the music box.

Izuku stared at it intently, while Y/n walked into another room to get something. Suddenly, a video of Y/n had been projected on what Izuku thought was a mirror. "Hey Deku! Happy valentine's day! I know this isn't exactly the best gift, but I wanted to stand out! So I decided not to give you an all might figure this year. Just so you know, this isn't a regular music box that would play random lullabies. I had it custom made to project pictures and videos, while the songs were greatly specified. Unlike all the other videos and pictures, this clip will only play once, so I might as well say it here..." Silence was heard as Deku waited for the video to proceed.

"Deku, I like you, a lot. Ever since we were kids, I knew I've always felt this thing around you, but I was too oblivious back then. Now that we've grown and understood life better, I began to realize what that thing was. It was love. Yes, I'll admit to this already. I don't just like you, I love you, and that love grows the more time I spend around you. I know, it might take a miracle for you to accept my feelings, but I wanted to let you know... You're an amazing guy... You're really cute, and not to mention that you can be hot even when you don't intend to be- ah! Forget I said that! That's not the case since I'm not that shallow to only pay attention to your looks." She stated. This made Izuku chuckle, but he waited for her video to continue.

"You're strong, brave, determined, kind, polite, sweet, shy, you name it! Your personality... Everything about you... Just... Drew me in... It felt so right to fall for you... I-I hope, that this doesn't ruin everything... And if it does, I hope that sometime, maybe even in another life, that we may cross paths once more, and maybe, just maybe, you'll love me when that time comes..." With that being said and done, the clip ended, returning the screen to its original state. A blank mirror-like screen. "Y/n..." He trailed. "Yes..?" She questioned. Izuku flinched, practically jumping out of his seat. "I-I... I, uh... I love you too..." He trailed once more. Y/n's eyes widened in shock. How is this possible? Was that miracle she hoped for granted to her? Was this all deceit? Is this even genuine?

Izuku chuckled at her shocked state. After hearing what she said in the video, he wasn't all too shocked that this was her reaction. He thought that she was thinking of this being a miracle. He was right. Taking advantage of this, he inched closer and closer to Y/n's shocked state. "I've been waiting to do this ever since we almost did it in the mall..." He trailed. He cupped her soft rosy cheeks with his right hand and pulled her closer to him by the waist with his left. He leaned in closer, closing his eyes in the process, Y/n still lagging behind. She was confused as hell. Was this really happening? Is this just a dream? Unbeknownst to her, this was genuine. Her eyes finally opened and she realized that this was no dream.

Soft lips landed on her small, but sweet plump ones. Her buffering stopped as she finally caught onto what was happening in the real world. She too, closed her eyes, enjoying their kiss. In her head, a whole party was going on, rejoicing about the fact that he liked her back. Izuku's hand fell from her cheek, and onto her waist, pulling her closer and deepening the kiss. Y/n returned the gesture by wrapping her arms around his neck, deepening it even more. The supposedly quick peck turned to seconds, seconds turned to minutes, if it were possible, this kiss would've lasted forever. Warmth filled their hearts, minds, and bodies. The kiss was sweet, warm and passion-filled. No one-sidedness at all, everything about it was completely out of love.

Unbeknownst to the two, Y/n left the door open, causing a camera to make a quiet flash, a flash that was practically inaudible. "Thank God I got this camera for Christmas! If I didn't, I wouldn't have been able to take so many pictures of them without them noticing it" Mrs. L/n stated. She walked away from the room, closing the door in the process. She met back with the others in the living room, then began showing off the picture. "I'll call them down when dinner's ready. Besides, they might be preoccupied until later~" she cooed.

~~~

From what Mrs. L/n heard, the two decided to watch a movie while waiting for dinner. Since dinner was prepared, she walked up to Y/n's room and opened the door to urge them to come down. The sight bestowed upon her made her smile. She went to her room for a bit to get her camera. There, Izuku and Y/n were laying on the bed, well, more like Izuku was on the bed and Y/n was on top of him. Y/n's head and hands rested on Izuku's chest, quiet snores being heard. Izuku's right hand was dangled with Y/n's hair, while his left was securely wrapped around her waist protectively, making sure she doesn't fall off.

Mrs. L/n quickly snapped a picture, then closed the door and went back down. "They won't be joining us for dinner. They're already asleep, " Mrs. L/n claimed. "Oh? May I see?" Inko asked. Mrs. L/n handed her the camera, causing Inko to squeal at the sight of the picture. "My baby's all grown up!" She squealed in delight. "Well, since they won't be joining us, let's eat! Afterward, you can come with me! I assume you'd want to help with the album I'm about to make?" Mrs. L/n claimed, raising an eyebrow at Inko. "About Izuku and Y/n? Of course, I'd wanna help!" She exclaimed. Mrs. L/n smiled then proceeded to set the table for everyone to eat.

~~~

The sun shone brightly and crept through the curtains. Valentine's day was over, and it was now a peaceful Saturday morning. "Psst... Y/n... Y/n..! Y/n! Wake up!" A voice urged. Her eyes slowly opened, meeting emerald green orbs along the way. What happened yesterday was apparently not a dream. In fact, it was a dream come true! Her long time childhood friend who she had fallen for liked her back. The pure bliss she felt was amazing. She never thought that a simple confession could lead to such euphoria! It was the best gift he could've gotten her. It was her best valentine's day ever.

~~~

And that's just about it! You see, the reason why this took so long was that it was supposed to be the original confession scene, which I scraped and replaced with a new one. This was very unfinished when I first planned it, making it hard for me to create it in this 'oneshot'. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed. If you like this chapter, then you may enjoy the new confession scene even more! Especially if you like poems and cliches! And don't worry, if I have the time, the next chapter won't be out long after this. Bye!
