Work Text:
Everyone knew about the budding romance between class rep Iida Tenya and his classmate Aoyama Yuuga. An unlikely couple at first glance, but they balanced each other out.
At first, they danced around oblivious when it came to feelings, both feeling like they were looking in too deep. When they caught the other’s stare lingering a bit longer than usual. The flush of heat appearing on their faces if they were just that bit too close. Those kind of things.
While the crushes had started near the end of the first year, the first half of the second year was spent being too cowardly to confess anything. The rest of class A had enough by the second half and forced them to confront their feelings. By the start of year three, the two were happily settled in a relationship together. Of course, it was rocky at times -- they did fight. But they balanced each other out enough for it to work.
The two texted each other often. Not that there was a lack of face-to-face communication, but they found it more comfortable and it was easier to communicate what they needed. After all, they had spent the entirety of their crushing period not even being able to greet the other without melting into a pile of embarrassment.
Iida had come to learn within the time of their relationship that Aoyama liked to tease him by texting him in class, something the sparkly boy knew Iida was strictly against. He’d long given up any hopes into lecturing Aoyama out of it. It was still a habit of his to lecture, sure, but he knew it was hopeless anyways.
Speaking of texting in class...
twinkling: bonjour, mon cheri ☆
iidatenya: Good Morning, Aoyama!
iidatenya: Although, you shouldn’t really be texting in class…
twinkling: why so cruel, monsieur? all i give you is love :-((
iidatenya: I give you plenty of affection.
iidatenya: Now hush, you’re being unreasonable and we still have a class to focus on.
He puts away his phone, before feeling it vibrate again. He looks over to Aoyama’s desk and tries to give him a stern look as the blonde looks back. Aoyama pulls the ultimate pout and puppy face combo back at Iida and he’s rendered defeated with 0HP. He sighs gently and picks up his phone, noticing it’s an image attachment.
twinkling: [insert relevant meme here]
Now, his blonde boyfriend had been sending memes like this for a while. He didn’t mind at all -- in fact, he loved the memes. He’d never truly shown how much he truly knew about memes as to hold his professional demeanor, but he knew now was better than any time to start learning to let loose (especially with friends) and a good opportunity to shock his lover.
He hadn’t really looked closely at the photo yet, or even opened it.
iidatenya: Gosh, hold on. I’ll look at it in a second.
He says, as if putting bait on the fishing line.
The photo does get a little ‘nose exhale’ out of him, but not enough of a laugh. Poor Aoyama keeps sending the disguised meme lord some normie memes. He replies to his boyfriend.
(A/N - my soul died typing the word ‘normie’. I hope you’re happy.)
iidatenya: As the others would say…
He casts his fishing line and...
iidatenya: lmao seen it
twinkling: IUHFRIKBFJSD MONSIEUR IIDA
twinkling: I’M SORRY BUT W H A T
Iida’s reeled in a catch.
He looks up from his phone and sees Aoyama splutter as he reads the text, before getting side-eye from Aizawa. Watching the teacher’s confused glare on his boyfriend almost makes him laugh out loud. Almost. He draws his phone out one last time to send his final messages.
iidatenya: Mon amour.
iidatenya: Pay attention.
It’s like nothing ever happened. Totally gottem.
He promptly puts his phone away.
