"Unforeseen Declaration of Love"

Shindo's eyes locked onto mine, and before I could process what was happening, he closed the distance between us. His lips brushed against mine in a gentle, yet firm kiss. I felt my heart skip a beat as I was taken aback by the sudden display of affection. Mina and the others let out a collective squeal, their voices filled with surprise and excitement. I could feel my face growing hot as I tried to process the situation. Before I could even react, Shindo pulled back and scooped me up into his arms, cradling me like a child. His eyes shone with a deep affection as he gazed at me. "I love you, Vesper," he said, his voice low and husky. "You don't have to say it back, but I had to tell you. I couldn't keep it inside anymore." I felt my blush deepen as I looked up at him, my heart racing with surprise. The others were staring at us, their jaws dropped in shock. Kirishima's eyes were wide with excitement, while Deku looked like he had been punched in the gut. Kaminari's face was pale, and Bakugo's expression was a mix of shock and annoyance. Shinso's eyes were narrowed, and Todoroki's face was set in a stern expression. The atmosphere was tense, with an air of anticipation hanging over us. I could feel the weight of Shindo's declaration, and I didn't know how to respond. Shindo, however, seemed completely unbothered by the stunned reactions of our friends. He simply smiled at me, his eyes shining with happiness, and continued to hold me close.
