There were several signs that pointed to the overwhelming romantic feelings that Asahi held for you. The rhythmic pounding of his heart in his chest whenever you were around, so loud that he swore you could hear it. The almost suffocating heat that surfaced on his cheeks whenever you'd smile at him. The way it felt virtually impossible to form stable sentences when he would talk to you, the times he managed to do so without running away. The romantic thoughts that happened to consume his mind when nothing else did. All of the above were striking pieces of evidence to support the conclusion that Asahi Azumane was head over heels for you.


It wasn't hard to believe. You were a close friend, but Asahi desired to be more than friends. He wanted to tell you how he felt. However, the only thing holding him back was his not so brave nature. Asahi was gentle, timid, and easily frightened which were all traits that did not aid in a confession of love.


"Dude, you just have to go for it!" Nishinoya exclaimed, hitting his best friend in the chest.


"That's a lot easier said than actually done," Asahi sighed. "Every time I try I-I can't manage to get the words out."


"You just can't think about it!" Nishinoya said, trying to give Asahi some advice. "Don't even process the words, just spit it out the second it comes to mind!" Asahi thought for a moment.


"But what if the words get jumbled and it comes out wrong?" Asahi asked, concerned. "I-I want this to be special for her... "


"Holy shit! You're such a simp for (Y/n)!" Nishinoya shouted, laughing at Asahi's hopeless romanticness.


"I just really like her and I want to make her happy and feel loved and special," Asahi admitted.


"Go tell her that!" Nishinoya insisted. "It's that simple, my friend!" Nishinoya reached up as high as he could and placed his hand on Asahi's shoulder. "I just know she likes you too, and if not, it's her loss. Either way, you've gotta tell her how you feel, you two are gonna make such a good couple!"


"Thanks, man," Asahi told him. He tried to take his friend's advice to heart. Was it possible to just blurt it out without thinking twice? There was only one way to find out. Asahi took out his phone and sent you a text message. He asked to meet you at a park near your house to hang out for a little while. He was nervously waiting for you when his doubts began to kick in. Remembering Nishinoya's words, he pushed away those thoughts and focused on something else.


The sun was out, but tiny light snowflakes drifted in the breeze. The bright white snow covering the ground and tree branches made the park look beautiful in the sunlight. Asahi thought it would be a good place to confess to you. He kept his hands in his pockets and looked around for you, anxious for your arrival.


"Asahi!" You called out, waving to your friend. He heard you and you saw his face light up with a smile, although it was a bit tense. You smiled in return, approaching the young man.


"Hey," You greeted, hugging your coat closer. "Thanks for inviting me, it's really nice here."


"I-I hoped you'd like it," Asahi stated. He took a deep breath. He wanted to get it out in the open as soon as possible. He didn't want to spend the evening with you in such a beautiful place, stressing out on the inside the entire time.


"(Y/n), I actually have something to t-tell you," Asahi said, fighting the hardest to keep himself from stuttering or his voice from shaking.


"Oh, what is it?" You inquired, tilting your head. You wondered if something was wrong. Asahi was very non-confrontational. Asahi took another deep breath, summoning all the courage he could possibly manage.


"I have feelings for you and I want to be your boyfriend," Asahi blurted out incredibly quickly. You buffered, needing a moment to process and understand what he just said.


"You... " You paused, a grin breaking out across your face. "You want to be with me?" Asahi nodded his head. His face had turned bright pink from more than just the cold, and he looked like he was about to pass out. You chuckled at how cute he was.


"I would love to be your girlfriend, Asahi." He let out a breath, an audible sigh of relief escaping his lips. He smiled and nervously folded his hands.


"I-I'm glad," He said, looking at you with a loving gaze. "Do you want to go for a walk?"


"As long as I get to hold your hand."
