The Way You Look at Me Denki x Reader
Ever since getting into U.A., Y/n has kept people at arm’s length. She’s kind, patient, and always smiling, but no one ever really gets close enough to see the parts of her she hides behind it all. Living alone only makes the silence louder.
Then Denki Kaminari crashes into her life like a lightning strike.
What starts as shared lunches, late-night dinners, and chaotic study sessions slowly becomes something neither of them knows how to name. Around everyone else, Y/n is sweet and careful. Around Denki, she laughs too loud, teases back, gets jealous, gets stubborn, and lets herself be real for the first time in years. And Denki? Somewhere between grocery bags, snow-covered walks home, and falling asleep beside her on the couch, he realizes he’s completely, hopelessly in love with her.
But growing closer isn’t always easy.
Feelings get messy. Friends get involved. Confessions happen at the worst possible times. Hearts ache quietly in the background. And while the rest of Class 1-A watches their relationship unfold like a romance anime in real time, Denki and Y/n are left trying to figure out what exactly they are to each other before fear, timing, and unspoken emotions ruin the one thing they can’t imagine losing.
A slow-burn romance filled with winter nights, accidental intimacy, teasing banter, emotional chaos, and the kind of love that sneaks up on you softly before suddenly becoming everything.
