Young Love With John and Raphael in Sitting in Silence

Raphael was down all day in school, he didn't want to talk to anyone, not even me!! That almost never happens he always talks to me! I couldn't focus in class, all I could think about was my poor boyfriend being all depressed!

When classes ended he went straight for his dorm room, doing his best to ignore everyone.

Sarah pulled me aside, "you better take care of Raphael!" she ordered me as if I wasn't going to do that anyway!

"Hey, Don't worry! I got this!" I told her with more confidence than I actually had.

"Raphael?" I called gently, as I knocked on his door, I made sure not to be too loud and startle him. I didn't get a response, so I called again, asking if I could come in. he didn't say anything but the door opened a crack, the only light was coming from the window. He was sitting on his bed in a cocoon of blankets, he must have used his quirk to extend his arm open the door! I entered, closing the door behind me he opened up his cocoon and I sat there, next to him. He immediately nuzzled his way into the crook of my arm, and I wrapped my arm around him.

"Do you want to talk or do you want to just cuddle," I asked. He answered my question with silence. I started petting his hair, because I know that he likes that. I don't know how long we sat like that, I was getting bored but this was for Raphael not me, so I just sat there, holding him. Eventually, he spoke.

"Thank you, John, I know that you don't like being still for long," his voice was so week and quite, he forced a small smile, he was just so cute, I couldn't help but smile back, though my smile had a lot more energy.

"I love you, Raphael! For you I'd sit still forever it would make you feel even the teensiest bit better, you are feeling better right." once I realized what I said, my mouth dried, and I froze that was the first time I used the L-word.

"I love you too, John," he whispered back, I let out a sigh of relief knowing that he loved me back. He then brought his head up so his face was near mine. That was Tamaki's way of saying that he wants a kiss, no matter how many times I tell him it's fine he's always afraid to directly ask for a kiss. Brought my lips to meet his, for a quick peck.

"I'm glad you're feeling better Raphael."
