Something about the unknown.

[a/n: something random, do please enjoy. 🪐]

"Do you still miss him?"

Resting your chin on your open palm you looked away, staying quiet to avoid a question you did not know the answer to yet.

"Come on," your friend grabbed the empty chair and sat down in front of your desk. "It's been a month (name)―"

Placing your hands on your desk you rised abruptly from your seat. "You don't know what it's like to care about someone who deeply hurt you." Looking at your friend you added, "Please stop asking me when you don't fully understand how badly I'm hurting right now."

Your friend sighed, their lips parted ready to argue against you but opted not to.

You walked out of your classroom with crossed arms in front of your chest. The halls filled with students that paid no attention to what you were filling, wishing that you too did not having anything to worry about.

As you turned the corner to head down the stairs you saw your ex with another girl, her arm wrapped tightly around his own. Happily flirting as if nothing he always had been single with no trace of an ex.

"It's hard seeing him like that isn't it?" A voice spoke one you recognized well.

Your eyes wouldn't tear themselves away from the two people down at the bottom of the stairs. An ache rising again, you moved your hand to the front of your chest and squeeze your shirt tightly. Your knuckles turning white, hoping it would reach your heart to stop it from beating and feeling that hole deepening inside.

"He moved on too quickly, don't you think you deserve better than that?" He stepped closer to you. "Someone like Bakugo isn't capable of caring about someone else. He never has, there's a reason why he got rid of you so quickly."

There was hesitation within you, but you didn't stop yourself from asking.

"Why?..."

"Bakugo only got what he wanted from you, if he truly meant what he said he wouldn't be locking lips with another girl knowing well his ex is watching."

Truth and behold, he was right.

But damn did it feel horrible needing to face reality. You wanted to keep the hurt locked away, far away from your reach. Anything to make the ache a little less hard than it really was.

Angrily you wiped away the tears that formed in your eyes again.

"I should have listened―" you sniffled, feeling hatred for him and yourself for not seeing how things really were. "Damn it... damn it all!"

"You shouldn't have to keep waiting for someone that won't ever come back." He said.

"I'd do anything... to make sure that would happen." You clenched your jaw seeing the way his hand went to grace your arm, delicately.

"My offer still stands." He reminded you, "I dislike people like him who feel entitled."

"I'm not going to use you, Shinso." You shook your head looking at him with a tear stained face. "I wouldn't be able to hurt you like that."

"Who said you'll hurt me?" He playfully smirked, "I know what I'm getting myself into remember? I'm the one who's asking you."

Before you were able to tell him anything, Bakugo stopped at the top of the stairs looking at you, as your eyes stared at his arm wrapped around her waist.

"Don't you have anything else to do than follow me?"

"Who said she was following you?" Shinso stepped forward, glaring at him.

"How more obvious and pathetic can she be huh?!" He raised his voice staring down at him then at you. "Get over yourself! I'm done with you. Move on with your life will you? You're just asking people to pity you."

Your hands formed into tight fists, all you wanted was to slap that ridiculous look off from him. Those red orbs were only haunting you each time you closed your eyes, you were done. You had enough of him being the shadow that lingered over you each time you decided anything for yourself.

Bakugo wasn't the same person you first knew.

He was an egocentric asshole.

"Fuck you." Your voice held venom. "I don't need to loom over you and your side chick, Bakugo. I won't ever cry again for someone who doesn't give a hell about anyone but himself."

Pressing his tongue against the inside of his bottom lip, chuckling dryly.

"You're just mad that I dumped you―"

"No I'm actually relieved now that thanks to Shinso I finally opened my eyes to see you're not even worth crying two years over."

Which of course ticked him off even more.

Shinso couldn't help but laugh, "Damn coming from someone like (name) who rarely gets mad at someone you really went hit rock bottom, Bakugo."

"Shut up you purple hair trolled!" Bakugo yelled getting ready to throw a punch at him when Shinso surprised him by hitting him instead.

He staggered back holding his nose, "Y―you damn bastard!"

"Bakugo!" The girl exclaimed, rushing over to his side and screamed seeing blood was dripping from his nose. "You're an animal!"

"You're going to pay for this!"

"How?" Shinso confidently questioned as he wrapped his arm around your waist pulling you in. "You already lost everything you had gained. (Name) is mine and the only thing you have is well... that." He pointed at the chick next to him, "Not to mention in a real fight I'm pretty sure I'll be the one with less injuries."

"You're out here talking crap about me leaving you when you already with him!" Bakugo pointed at him. "You're a fucking hypocrite."

Shinso smirked, holding your chin with his thumb and index finger. He pulled you in quickly, taking you off guard as his lips connect with yours.

Your eyes widened, lips frozen as he you felt his soft plumps lips against your own. Slowly your eyes started to close and you began to copy his moves, kissing him back.

A noise of disgust could be heard but you didn't know if it was Bakugo's or the girl's.

You were too occupied by the way his hand moved down to hold the side of your neck, as his thumb rested on the bottoms part of your cheek.

He deepens the kiss, forgetting about the problem at hand. Shinso was already in too deep to pull away now, becoming addicted with the way you tasted, the way you felt.

Your hands came up to rest on his waist, ignoring the light of wariness in your brain going off. All you knew was that you didn't want to stop.

"What the hell is going on here?"

You breathed heavily as your lips parted from one another, seeing your teacher Mr. Aizawa standing there looking at the four of you.

"This fucking extra hit me that's what!" Bakugo yelled.

Shinso being the unbothered person he was responded with a monotone. "You're still here? I thought you would have left by now."

"You little!―"

Aizawa pulled Bakugo back away from Shinso and you.

"You're all coming with me." He announced, "Now."

"But he was the one who hit him first!―" the girl tried to put the blame on him but he ignored her.

"I don't care who started what." He sternly said looking back and forth at each of you. "You four are coming with me, you are equally to balme here."

"This isn't fair!" She whined.

He rolled his eyes and pushed them both to start walking.

"This is stupid!" Bakugo retorted.

Shinso and you made your way downstairs to the teachers staff room.

You were too flustered to even look at him or say anything, only complied with the directions that your teacher gaved you.

He of course noticed this and quietly slipped his hand into yours.

Looking down you saw his fingers were tightly intertwined with yours, and looked at him shyly.

Shinso offered you a soft smile, making you blush even more all the way to the staff room.

"Quite blushing, you look like a damn tomato." Aizawa said as he let you guys in first into the room.

Hi! So, I really love your writing, and I saw that your blog said requests were open!! I could not for the life of me find any rules or a post stating what you're comfortable with writing so if this is out of your comfort zone or anything of the sort please ignore it!! That being said, could I get a Izuku Midoriya x Reader with a plot similar to "In the Mood for Love" where they're both married to different people but find out their spouses are cheating on them and comfort/fall in love with each other???

Thank you for requesting! I hope I did it justice and it was to your liking, please enjoy! 😄🌷

Here is your request ✨

[maehara-san]

𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙣―

Pairing: Izuku Midoriya x Gn!Reader

Backstory: You were expecting to enjoy a summer trip with your s/o. Going out together and exploring, having a nice time. Unfortunately your dream ended quickly when reality decided to hit you.

A/N: This is based on a request by a lovely follower (@internphantom) , hope you like it! If you enjoyed this writing piece please consider donating, thank you! <3

𝑳𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒔 ━ | 𝒎.𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕 | 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒓 | 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒔 |

"Hey can we check out this store before we leave?" You asked smiling as you looked up at your significant other.

"Um..." they looked at their wrist watch, "We have a few minutes to spare sure."

"I won't be in too long."

They nodded, "That's fine. I'll wait for you here."

"Oh..." you pulled away. "You don't want to come in with me?"

"I'm kinda tired," they slightly smiled and held the side of your face. "But you should go... like I said I will be waiting here for you outside."

Pouting you nodded, "Okay."

Noticing your sad eyes they pulled you into their arms, hugging you tightly.

"We still have our next stop, remember?" They said kissing the top of your head. "I want to save my energy until then."

With their reassuring words, your smile returned as you hugged them back. "Alright, I can't wait then."

"Me too."

Pulling away you bid your significant other goodbye and walked into the store. There weren't many things you still needed to get, but seeing the (favorite color) outfit on the mannequin intrigued you.

Thinking about your next stop made you felt all giddy on the inside. It had been such a long time since you two went on a trip together, you were excited to spend some quality time and enjoy your marriage.

For once you thought that things were turning around in your favor. And of course you weren't going to let this opportunity slide by to spoil them and let them know how much you missed them.

"(name)?"

Looking over your shoulder you saw your long time friend, a smile forming on your lips.

"Izuku, hey!" You exclaimed walking over to him. "I did not expect to see you here."

"I came here looking for a present since Ayane's birthday is coming up." He explained pulling you into a hug, smiling as he felt your warm embrace. "I didn't quite know where to go so I decided to come to the mall."

Slightly pulling away you said, "I forgot that her birthday is next week... I'm sure whatever you decide to give her she'll love it."

"You think so?..." Izuku chuckled lightly, "I've been trying my best to make her happy. I really want to make this work between us."

"Has she been distant?..."

He sadly nodded, "When I get home from work she's already asleep and when I have time off she gets busy or makes plans before I'm even able to."

It made your heart ache for him. Izuku was always such a sweetheart and cared about those around him, especially his family and friends. He never failed to be there for them or even when strangers asked for his help. Seeing him suffer like this was so unfair.

"I'm sorry to hear about that... I know you really care about her." You said holding both his hands in each one of your own. "I'm sure she will come around when she sees how hard you are trying to fix your marriage. Ayane would be insane to let go of someone like you so easily."

Izuku slightly blushed hearing your words. "I don't know sometimes I feel like she's better off without me―"

You shook your head, "Don't say that. Ayane is lucky to have someone like you. You're a kind hearted, respectable, funny, selfless, person. I know she's your life but she really knocked it out of the park with you."

He smiled looking at you, feeling thankful that he has someone like you around to bring him out of his fearful thoughts. Sometimes he wishes things would have turned out differently.

"Thank you, (name). You always know just what to say."

"I try my best because you're the type of person who deserves the whole world."

Izuku smiled with his eyes closed as he gently squeezed your hands. "I miss having you around like old times, (name)."

Your eyes become glossy knowing you feel the same way, "Me too."

Maybe if you hadn't moved in junior high, things wouldn't have played out this way. If you had convinced your parents to let you stay and finish your third year― but you couldn't keep going on with what if's not anymore. Life turned out the way it did and all you can do now is support him.

"I can help you find a gift if you'd like?' yo suggested.

"Really? I'd appreciate it!" He widely smiled, "You're not busy?"

"Well I came in here to look at something while (s/o name) is resting outside on the bench." You pointed at the entrance door. "I'm sure he won't mind me being here a while longer."

"Let me know when you need to leave I don't want to keep you from going somewhere you need to."

"No worries, did you have any idea on what you'd might want to get her?"

"Actually..."

Turns out shopping with him was a lot of fun, it felt weird not doing it with your partner. But it was different with him. Izuku paid attention to detail and was vocal about what he thought. He was a gentleman even when you had picked things off the rack, he offered to carry them for you.

It was kinda eye opening how different he was compared to (s/o name). Jealousy started to build in your chest, Ayane was lucky to have a boyfriend like Izuku. If this was how he was with you, as a friend, you can't imagine how lovely he mustbe with her.

Approaching the checkout counter, he placed all items down.

"Did you find everything you needed?" A women asked.

"Yes, thank you." You responded and turned to look at Izuku, "You can pay for Ayane's present first. I can pay for my things second."

"No, I'll pay for your things too." He said taking out his wallet and reaching for his credit card.

Shaking your head you held his hands, stopping him from giving his card.

"No way!" You said, "I have enough money to pay for my things Izuku―"

"I insist." he softly smiled looking at you in the eyes. "It's the least I can do for you helping me to find her a gift."

"Izuku." You whined, "You can't pay for my things it'll be too expensive in total!"

Chuckling he placed his hand on top of yours. "I don't mind."

Knowing he wasn't going to give up, you sighed letting him do it while he gave you a sheepish smile in return. The women behind the counter couldn't help and chuckle at your interaction.

"My, you two are such an adorable couple." She took his card and waited for him to put in his details. "Young love."

He smiled looking down at the machine in front of him. "Thanks I try my best to make them happy, that's all I ever want to do."

Your eyes slightly widened at his response making you turn red.

"I can tell you make her happy. I saw the way you held their stuff while they looked around. Not many couples do that for each other nowadays."

The women handed you the bags and mumbled a thank you to her.

"Thank you for coming!" She waved at you both goodbye, Izuku and you waved back as you headed to the entrance door.

You were too flushed to even say anything. His comment was something you never expected, you'd think he would have denied it by saying you were only friends.

"L―Let me pay you back―"

Izuku stopped you this time from taking out your wallet.

"Can you please let me have this one?" he begged. "I wanted to do it for you. I don't want you to return or pay me back with anything."

"I swear sometimes you are too kind for this world Izuku."

"I mean I don't think so." He chuckled rubbing the back of his head, "But that's thoughtful of you."

"See you just proved it again." You said opening the door and letting him go out first.

Izuku shook his head finding it funny how stubborn you were as well. He was about to ask you something when he bumped into your back, he stepped aside and looked at you.

"(name)? Is everything alright?..."

He followed your gaze and saw your partner standing there kissing, someone else.

Your hand gripped the newly shopping bag tightly, not blinking once. Tears started to brim in your eyes as you tried to understand what was happening in front of you.

Izuku immediately covered your eyes with his hand but it was already too late. The damage had been done nothing he could do to shield away the pain in your chest.

You looked down at the ground, tears falling to the floor. The shiny tile mirrored your ache, you tried your best to control them but the sobs were becoming harder to keep down.

He lowered his head and softly spoke "(name) do you want me to take you somewhere else?..."

"N―No..." your voice broke, "I can't... walk away and pretend like nothing is wrong."

It was sickening how they both stood there kissing each other not caring about them being caught.

Firmly you walked towards them removing his hand from your eyes. Izuku stood behind you, making sure he stayed close to you.

You parted your lips to speak, but no sound was coming from them. It was difficult to even gather a word, like your voice had been taken away.

Izuku of course noticed and slid his hand into yours trying to comfort you to let you know he was there if you needed anything.

"(s/o name)." You spoke trying to speak firmly without your voice breaking.

(s/o name) and the women turned around, it was much of a bigger surprise than you had anticipated.

"I―Izuku..." the women spoke.

"It all makes sense now..." he said furrowing his eyebrows as he looked looking straight into her eyes. "You always made sure to make plans and arrive late when I was already asleep so I wouldn't notice the time you came back home."

Your eyes flashed with anger, feeling upset at yourself for not noticing is sudden change in character and the trips he had to take. It was plainly obvious for anyone to see except you.

"To think that I tried hard to match my schedule with yours to fix things." Your lip was quivering, "Damn it... I was so set on doing anything for you."

"I'm sorry you found out this way, (name)." They said looking away from your gaze.

"But you're not sorry for cheating are you?" You questioned then looked at Ayane, "And neither are you huh? You did not care about having an affair or thought about how this would affect your spouses! All you cared about was your damn selfish desires."

Ayane scoffed. "Don't pretend you are innocent when I have seen the way you looked at him each time you two were together. You are the same as us, so don't point fingers and turn into hypocrites because it doesn't suit you."

"You're wrong." You roughly wiped away the tears. "I never once thought about cheating I knew if things went south I would be upfront and tell the truth. I could never in a million years think about breaking a person's trust."

"Can you please... drop it?" Your partner said, "I know it wasn't ideal but you are making a scene here."

"You're right."

The sound of your hand connecting with their cheek echoed in the busy mall. (s/o name) held his cheek in shock not believing what you had done.

Ayane's eyes widened, her hand went up to hit you but Izuku caught it in time.

"Don't you dare hit them." Izuku's grip tightened on her wrist.

"Why are you defending them when they were the one who started it?" She accused you, "How can you choose them over me!"

"Because they weren't the one who hurt me." He let go of her wrist standing beside you.

(s/o name) clenched his jaw. "Why do you always have to be so damn dramatic? I started to go out with out you should be happy I even considered doing that for you (name)."

"Yeah because that was the bear minimum you jerk!" You exclaimed raising your voice not caring if strangers stopped by and stared. "We got married and swore an oath to be there for one another... I shouldn't have been getting the crumbs that you couldn't give to her."

"At least they were having more fun with me than you." Ayane accused. "The only reason they stayed with you is out of pity."

"And you seems so proud saying it out loud." Izuku chimed in, "It's like neither of you actually cared about us to begin with."

She looked away feeling slightly regretful for not being honest with him.

"What's done is done, (name)." (s/o name) said standing taller as they proudly held Ayan's hand out in the open in front of you two as if you both never existed in their lives. "I screwed up alright? I cheated on you with her. Let's just start the divorce and finish this boring relationship."

Stepping back you tried so hard to make sense as to what you did wrong. Were you not enough for them? Were you too caring? Too bothersome when all they wanted was their space? Did you ask for too much in return―?

"You're right." Izuku spoke wrapping his arm around your back, holding you close to his chest. "This marriage was doomed from the start and for once I am glad that it's over. Because (name) never deserved all the stuff she has done for you. It always looked like such a one sided relationship, at least finally they're getting rid of the garbage that held them back all these years."

Their eyes widened getting ready to counter attack with their fist. Ayane held them back from putting their hands on Izuku.

They pressed their tongue on the inside of their lip, seething in anger. "You son of a bitch."

"You can get mad all you want, but you better, listen to me." Izuku ordered, looking straight into their soul with no hesitation. "I don't want you to come back and look for them understand? I want you out of their lives for good. (name) doesn't need to keep suffering because of you."

"You're just going to stand there and let him talk to me that way?"

"You have until tomorrow to get your stuff out, (s/o name)." You replied and turned, walking away from them blocking out their rage against you two.

Izuku was trying so hard to keep himself cool and collected but his tightened fist and clenched jaw proved otherwise. Yes he was hurt and bitter for how things turned out but deep down there was a feeling of relief, glad that he wasn't going to be in a lonely home, tied for the rest of his life.

Sniffling you leaned closer into his side trying to hold yourself up. Tears kept rolling down your tear stained cheeks.

Looking around the mall, he managed to find a secluded spot away from prying eyes. Gently he sat you down on the bench. Izuku crouched down in front of you holding both your hands in his own.

"It's okay, let it out." He softly spoke.

But it was difficult to keep crying. The heaviness within inside you remained and yet no more tears came out. You had cried yourself to the fullest.

In the same way, you felt like an idiot about crying for someone who did not deserve your tears to begin with.

"You're not a fool for letting yourself feel, (name)." He knew you so well. "You are pain, it is natural to feel like you have to free yourself in some way."

"Y―yeah but I―I wasn't the... only one who got h―hurt." You stuttered, breathing heavily. "I―I should be helping.. you t―too."

"I was already anticipating for this to happen." He lowered his head, looking down at the floor with a disappointed smile. "I did have some small hope that I would be wrong, I won't lie that it does hurt."

He exhaled out as his lip began to quiver. All the emotions he was trying to block out were suddenly hitting him all at once. Sniffling he closed his eyes in hopes of stopping the tears from falling, but failed.

"I―I'm sorry..." He croaked out, resting his forehead on your lap and letting go of your hands.

"Don't apologize..." you whispered, "You also found out that you were cheated on. It's okay to cry it out, remember?..."

Izuku did not respond, you took the moment to gently caress the back of his head, running your fingers through his soft green locks. His body slowly relaxed as he felt your touch.

"I know this is something we both... did not expect to happen. And I won't lie it hurts like hell..." Tears began to cover your eyes. "but we will... no matter h―how much time it takes us, we will get through this... together."

Sniffling he wiped away his tears with his forearm, lifting his head to look at you. "Can I... can I hug you, (name)?..."

You weakly chuckled not believing he was asking you for a hug.

"You don't need to ask, Izuku." Opening up your arms you invited him in. "My hugs are always here when you need them."

He leaped into your arms, hugging your body tightly. Sobs began to escape from inside of him. You did your best to calm him down by rubbing his back gently. "There there... it's okay."

"I should be the one comforting you..." He said breathing hard.

"Sometimes it's okay if the roles are reversed, you know?" Resting your chin on his shoulder. "You've been there for me countless times when we were little, it's my turn to comfort you."

"I―I know... it's just that," he pulled away sitting down next to you. "I wanted to ease your pain a bit, help you in any way s―so you could feel better."

"I feel better knowing you are the one here with me." You said trying to assure him in some way that his presence alone was enough. "It's going to be awhile until either of us are okay again... that is the truth. Maybe―" you sighed looking down at your lap, "With time things will turn out differently."

"I'll be here, just like I always have been, (name)." He reassured you, "If you need anything, anything you can tell me."

"W―well..." you turned away from him.

"What is it?..." He asked leaning forward and tilting his head to the side.

"I―uh..." you clasped your hands together, moving your thumbs one over the other. "I was wondering... if it would be okay if I could stay with you?... j―just for a couple of days of course..."

Izuku smiled for the first time, "Of course. I was going to ask you as well but I didn't want to pressure you to make a decision."

"I felt kinda embarrassed asking you..."

"Why? You shouldn't feel like that at all. You'll always have a place to go to I told you that if something happens you can stay with me."

It was funny how he was acting more like a loving partner than (s/o name) ever was. With him you felt save and appreciated.

"Thank you..." you wrapped your arms around his mid section.

He cupped the back of your head, pulling you tighter against his chest. Using his other arm to wrap it securely around your lower back.

You both did not know if it was the ache or the exhaustion that was already creeping up your bodies, but the hug this embrace felt nothing like any of the hugs you had given each other before. This closeness, the feel of arms enveloped around each of your figures, held so much love.

It went far beyond it being just a hug between friends.

"Do you want to pass by to pick up some of your clothes?"

You shook your head.

Looking down at you, chuckling tightly. "I can just lend you some of my clothes then."

There was no clear answer as to what you were both feeling, all you did know was that you did not want to be with any body else.

𝙏𝙬𝙤 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙨𝙚

pairing: katsuki bakugo x f!reader

plot: when someone you once called a friend turns their back on you, the least person you thought would see, ends up being the one to come to your rescue.

warnings: slight cursing, slapping

a/n: this is not proofread it was on a wim so beware

𝑳𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒔 ━ | 𝒎.𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕 | 𝒅𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒓 | 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒔 |

All you wanted was to have friends that you could trust and have a bond that's unbreakable.

And you did.

Àt least you thought you had until she became part of the picture.

Everything was fine at first, she was kind to you and everyone. Hell she grabbed everyone's attention within the minute she stepped in through the door.

The guys were fond of her cuteness and of course she was beautiful.

It was every girls dream to be adored and cared for by guys.

She never gave it a second thought to help out a classmate with studying or homework.

Your classmate was kind in all aspects.

Then it stopped.

"I'm going to need you to not come along next time, okay?" She smiled at you, but it was fake.

You chuckled, confused by her sudden statement. "I'm sorry―what?"

Her smile disappeared as her eyes changed into anger, "You heard me. I don't want you to be around us."

Now you had realized what she meant, all this time she was faking to be your friend.

"But why not―they're m―my friends too." You stuttered. "You can't just tell me that I can't hangout with them anymore."

Rolling her eyes she threw her head back. "Oh please!" Looking at you she continued her harsh words, "The last couple of times everyone has gone out they never once even stopped to walk beside you or asked for your input."

"Yeah cause I didn't need to add anything to it nor am I picky."

"Could you be any more blind?" She started to step forward making you walk back slowly. "You're not wanted. How many times do I have to make it clear to you?"

"You're just talking out of jealousy Aya―"

"Ha!" Aya laughed loudly throwing her head back again. "Me?" She pointed to herself then to you. "Jealous of of you? Of someone who has nothing and is nothing? Why on earth would I be jealous of a little insignificant, wannabe hero?"

Your back finally hit against a wall.

You tried speaking in a calm tone trying not to give her any satisfaction. "What did I ever do to you? Since day one all did was be was nice to you. Everyone was."

"Because," placing her hand on the wall she leaned into your face not giving you any space to yourself. "People like you don't deserve to be around people who are actually worth a damn. Everyone beside you and that mineta shouldn't be part of the hero course. You don't even have what it takes to be a hero. One single punch to you and you break like the fragile little twig that you are."

Tears were starting to brim in the corner of your eyes. You didn't understand how a person could hold such anger towards you for no reason.

"I―I am doing my best to become a strong hero, I never have asked for anyone's help." You spoke anger filling your veins. "I train every single day until midnight. I stay back to help my friends whenever they need help when all you do is get surrounded by guys and don't even move a single muscle!―"

A smirk formed on her lips as she stepped back, "There it is."

Looking at her confused you spoke. "What?"

"I knew you'd bring it up sooner or later." A content sigh escaped from her lips, she took out her phone and showed you the bright screen with a pause button. "Now I can let everyone know what you said about me."

Shaking your head slowly you spoke, "How can you be such a cruel person?..."

She shrugged, "I like taking care of those standing in my way. I've seen the way some of the guys look at you. I just want to take their attention off from someone like... well you. And onto someone like me instead."

Aya smiled proudly seeing how sad you had become, "If it helps you feel better I did think of you as a friend once."

You scoffed, "Please... tell that to someone who doesn't know your true colors."

"Whatever."

She turned to leave when she looked back at you again. "I'll be nice don't worry, if you reject every invite and ignore them then I won't show them the conversation. It's your choice."

Aya had a skip in her stepped as she happily held her phone in her hand.

You closed your eyes letting the tears fall out of frustration and pain. You tried to think back to everything you did that made her dislike you but nothing came.

Yes you and her weren't too close to call yourself best friends but it hurt. Knowing you saw her as a friend only for her turn her back on you.

After a minute or so you tried to calm down yourself and stop crying over someone that didn't matter. But it was so hard to feel okay.

"I'm fine." You muttered to yourself as you wiped away the tears with the back of your hand. "She's not worth any crying."

“What’s going on with you?” 

Your movement stopped as you heard footsteps approaching you from the hallway. 

Quickly you blinked away trying to dry the remaining tears as fast as possible. 

“Nothing.” 

“Then why are you leaking out of your eyes?” 

“It’s nothing for you to know about, Bakugo.” You replied turning your head and looking at him. “Aren’t you supposed to be training with Todoroki for your license exam?” 

He scoffed crossing his arms in front of his chest. “I don’t have any training today with that icy hot bastard.” 

“Well then good for you... I guess.”

You walked away from him and heard the same footsteps following you all the way to the living room. 

“Don’t walk away from me!” Bakugo exclaimed, “The conversation wasn’t over idiot.” 

“Well you weren’t but I was.” 

He was starting to feel irritated by your behavior, “What the hell happened that made you start crying of nowhere?” 

“Like I told you,” you answered. “It was nothing of importance... so just let it go alright?” 

“Was it that newbie?” 

You didn’t deny nor did you say anything else when he mentioned her, letting him know he was right. 

“So it was her,” he said. “What the hell did she do?” 

You were trying really hard to make sense about what his behavior. From what you have seen Bakugo never cared much except when it came to the ones he was close to which consisted of Sero, Mina, Kirishima, and Kaminari. 

You on the other hand, you barely spoke to him at times, unless it was a project or assignment that you had to do. 

Other than that you didn’t exchange much words but you didn’t dislike him either. 

“Hey, I’m talking to you.” 

As you reached main common room, you headed to the kitchen still not answering his question. All you hoped was that he would get the hint and leave you alone, you needed space to gather your thoughts, that was just the type of person you were. 

It took you off guard when you felt his hand wrap around your wrist stopping you in place. 

In a soft voice he spoke again, “Why don’t you want to tell me what happened?” 

The way his voice sounded brought you such a sudden peace, it felt like comfort to you. 

“Bakugo―“ 

A pair of feet were heard walking towards the kitchen and the door opened. 

“Oh.” 

The sudden feeling of dread then ran through your body hearing that voice once again. 

“I did not interrupt anything did I?” 

Even Bakugo himself got annoyed with her sudden presence, he let go of your hand and stood beside you.

“Did you need something?” He questioned. 

Aya shook her head, an irked expression was visible despite the smile she used to cover it up. 

“I was actually going to go ask everyone if they wanted to hangout today.” She explained getting slightly closer to him. “It’s Saturday after all and no one has plans. Why don’t you come and hangout with us, Bakugo?―” 

“No.” 

You had to roll in your lips to stop yourself from laughing hearing him reject her offer right away. 

“W―Why not?” Aya asked trying to not to break her perfect act. “I mean you didn’t have any training today―“ 

Bakugo looked at you from the corner of his eyes, seeing as you weren’t even bothering to look her way. 

“Y/n, are you going?” He asked ignoring the look on her face. 

Your eyes widened remembering what she had told you moments ago. Lifting your head you looked at Aya then at Bakugo. 

“No.” Looking away you made up an excuse just like how she wanted you to do. “I―I have some errands I need to do today.” 

“Then I’ll help you out with the errands.” Bakugo spoke. 

“What?” You and Aya spoke at the same time. 

“I mean it’s not like you’ll have anyone else to help you.” 

“Of course she does!” Aya exclaimed putting her arm around your shoulders. “Right? Y/n said she had asked a cousin of hers that’s in town to help out.” 

“I―uh.” 

“That’s fine by me, I can still help both of them out.” 

Aya was losing her patience by the minute, “Come on Bakugo I’m sure she will do fine without your help.” 

She nudged your shoulder trying to get you to agree with her. 

“R―Right,” you said. “I don’t have that many things to do after all―“ 

“We can make something to eat afterwards then.” He calmly said. 

Her on the other hand wasn’t having it one bit. “Come on Bakugo please?...” 

Letting go of you she went over to him and wrapped her hands around his arm. 

Batting her eyelashes at him she said, “I never get a chance to hangout with you... can’t we just go and hangout once?” 

You wanted to walk away on the spot. She was doing everything and anything to make sure she gets what she wants. And if Bakugo kept saying no she wasn’t going to let it go. 

Bakugo tried getting out of her grip but it tightened, pouting she added. “Do you hate me?...” 

In that moment someone else walked in through the door. 

“Hey! I’ve been looking for you, Aya.” Kaminari smiled. 

“Kaminari!” She exclaimed, “You’re right on time as always.” 

“Of course.” He smirked, “I always gotta be there for the beautiful girl of the class.” 

Blushing she said, “You’re so sweet.”

Kaminari gave her a toothy smile. “I came to grab Bakugo since the group wants to hangout. But what can I do for you my queen?”

“Well on that note I was trying to convince him to come and hangout as well but he kept rejecting me,” she frowned. “All I wanted was to invite him to relax for a day since he’s free.” 

“Come on Bakugo,” he said. “How can you say no to that cute face of hers?” 

Seeing how they were occupied with the conversation you decided to slip away. There was no use of staying in that same room where you weren’t wanted. 

All day you ignored the texts that came in from the group chat. The girls messaged you asking if you were okay but of course Aya had already answered for you. 

You didn’t know if you should have felt relieved she did that or hurt that they never messaged you privately to ask. 

Studying was the only thing that helped to take your mind off of it all. 

But even then your eyes were starting to give out and you would end up asleep any moment. A sigh escaped from your lips as you put your pencil down, rubbing your eyes to try and get the tiredness out. 

Your phone buzzed on the table as the screen lit up. It was a message from Mina asking if you wanted to join the movie night they had set up. 

Quickly you messaged her back telling her you weren’t feeling well and were about to go to sleep. 

As you got up off from the floor there was a knock on your door. 

“Come on Mina...” You mumbled yawning as you walked to open it. 

“Mina I’m a bit tired―“

Your body tensed up as you saw the person you least wanted to see at the moment. 

“What do you want, Aya?” you questioned leaning on the side of the door, feeling too tired to deal with her. “I did what you wanted me to do.” 

“It looks like it wasn’t enough,” she clenched her jaw staring daggers into you. “Bakugo did not bother staying long when we left.” 

Now it was your turn to chuckle seeing how things quickly turned against her. 

“What the hell are you laughing about?!” 

“At how hard you were trying to keep me away from everyone that even then he did not want to bother in being near you.” 

“Shut up! It’s not funny, you’re only pissing me off.” She retorted. “I told you I would send that recording to everyone if you did not do as I said.” 

“You’re kidding right?” You questioned, staring at her. “How is it my fault that Bakugo did not want to even be around you? I even told him no about him helping me out what more could you have possibly wanted me to have done?” 

“How about trying to convince him when he was there?!” Aya yelled. “You could have tried harder to get him to stay but nooo you had to leave like the little coward that you are!” 

“I’m the coward?!” You exclaimed leaning forward. “I am not the one threatening people because of how insecure you fucking feel!” 

She was taken back by your sudden outburst. “What? Now all of a sudden you have the courage to speak when you couldn’t earlier?” 

“Yeah cause I’m tired of people like you.” You answered. “I am exhausted by being near you. I do not understand how you can live with yourself acting like such a fake person.” 

“You’re just mad that I grab everyone's attention and not yours.” 

You shook your head leaning back against the door, “No I’m not mad. I just feel sad for you seeing how hard you have to act a certain way to be liked and be able to live like this. You’re actually lonely inside―” 

A stinging pain could be felt spreading across your cheek. You breathed out in shock, slowly your hand moved to touch your now red colored skin. 

"You have no right to speak to me that way." She gritted her teeth, "Someone like you has no idea how hard I've worked to make everyone fall for me."

Slightly turning your head you looked at her. "That just proves how lonely you are. You always envied everyone else and you never even bothered to check what was wrong with you. Always blaming everyone around you but yourself. That is what cowards do."

"You're going to regret that."

Her arm moved back as her hand went up in the air to let it hit your cheek again. But you raised your hand getting ready to catch stop her when someone else did it for you.

Aya froze in shock, realizing her facade had come to an end.

"This is why girls like you piss me off."

"Bakugo..." You mumbles.

He looked at you, his eyes softening for a second before they turned cold as his gaze landed on her.

"B―Bakugo I―I was only defending myself against her!" She exclaimed trying to make herself cry. "You should have heard all of the horrible things she said to me!"

Rolling his eyes, he harshly let go of her hand. "You can stop with the bullshit. I heard everything you fucking told her."

"What?..." She nervously spoke turning around to look at him. "I―I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" He raised his voice, "You can drop the stupid act of playing the victim. Just because you have the other idiots wrapped around your finger doesn't mean I'm the same as well."

The puppy eyes she had were now gone and replaced with pure utter rage. Her gaze moved between the two of you.

"How could you defend someone like her?!" She exclaimed pointing at you with disgust. "Y/n is a fucking weakling, I mean look at her! She doesn't even come close to being in the same level as you and me."

"I've seen how hard she's trained her ass off to get to where she is." His gaze moved over to you. "She still has room to improve hell no one is perfect in this world. Yet I never have seen her given up so easily with anything that comes her way. Y/n has determination and cares about those around her those are some of important things that you need to become a hero."

Your cheeks turned a bright red hearing him say all those nice things about you. It was a shock but it made your chest flutter with happiness.

Bakugo directed his attention back to her, "But compared to you, she's a a better hero. And if I had to choose I'd choose her over and over again. I'll be damn if I ever choose you even if you were the last person alive in this world."

That was the last straw that made her go over the edge.

"I can't believe you're acting like an idiot defending her!" She yelled. "I thought you were better but I guess you two are the same in the end! Just like everyone is here... you're all idiots!"

"Oh my god." He muttered in exhaustion, taking out his phone.

You and Aya looked at him confused until he showed the screen seeing he had been on the phone with Kirishima this entire time.

"You all heard that right?"

"Yeah... loud and clear." Kirishima spoke.

"Damn it." She muttered pushing passed him as her footsteps quickened down the hallway.

Once she was gone it was like you could finally breathe. Letting out the weight of her shadow go after all this time.

"Are you alright?" He asked taking a step closer to you. "How's your cheek?"

You looked down at the ground shying away from him. "I―I'm okay... I just have a slight sting is all."

"Your cheek is red." Bakugo mumbled.

As he inspected your bruised skin you couldn't help but glance at him. It was off putting how kind he was being to you since the beginning of this whole situation. He was never mean to you but you both never really talked more than you needed to.

You did admire him for how strong he had become the last couple of months. He had changed like people said but it was still something you hadn't grown accustomed to.

"There's some ice packs in the freezer you should use them to reduce the swelling."

You nodded "I will do that..."

Bakugo did not understand why he cared this much. You weren't annoying for any reason. He just saw you as a classmate someone he could talk with when it came to school work. But recently he couldn't help but want to get to know you more.

As he pulled away his cheeks turn red, realizing he had been too close to you.

Cleating his throat he spoke, "Are you sure you're going to be alright? Everyone already knows the truth so I'm sure they won't be mad at you at all."

"T―That's good to hear of course," you said. "I just― how do I say this... it's a surprise to see you acting this kind with me. When we only really interacted at school... or trained when needed to."

Looking away he tried looking for an answer himself. Why was he being this way towards you? Did he catch feelings for you when he didn't notice and until now he's realizing it?

"Look..." he sighed trying to think of what he wanted to say. "I wasn't going to stand by and let her mistreat you. I―I saw the way she acted with you earlier today and I didn't want you to think I was eavesdropping. I wanted to hear what happened coming from you not from her knowing well she was going to lie through it all to make you look bad."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

Looking at you he answered. "Cause I knew you were going to deny the whole thing. I heard she threatened you with that dumb recording. I wasn't going to stand by and let you get bullied because of that― Aya chic."

A small smile formed on your lips. "I'm taken back by your kindness honestly," you chuckled lightly. "I always thought you only saw me as a peer a―and maybe you do but― with the way you're acting it sounds like a friend."

A smile threatened to slip from his lips but nodded instead.

"I appreciate what you did for me, Bakugo. So thank you... for looking out for me."

"Idiot." He chuckled softly, "I did it because I can't stand that chic something was off about her since she got here."

"Right." You agreed, "That was most definitely the reason― which of course I'm glad!"

He looked passed you and saw your table was covered in books about math.

"That chic interrupted your studying?"

"Oh..." you looked over your shoulder forgetting about the mess. "Y―Yeah I was trying to look over some problems before the test."

"And is it helping?"

"Well... not much as I hoped it would."

"I kinda figured as much," he put his hands into his pockets. "I can help you out if you want. That chic already got figured out and I have nothing else to do."

"Are you sure?" You asked. "You already did a lot―"

"You should just say yes before I change my mind." He smirked slightly, "You could use someone like me."

"Okay then."

"W―What?" He asked flustered.

"I mean you're offering right?" You chuckled. "Would you like to study here or in the living room?"

"I'll bring my stuff over better everyone else is probably still in the living room. We'll get distracted and knowing how loud Kaminari is it won't be any help."

"You're not wrong about that."

"I'll be back then." He said. "I call dibs on this side of the table though."

This was a new side of him, one you hoped he will show you more often.

"Whatever you say." You smiled. "Just hurry up I need to study."

Bakugo turned around letting the smile grow, as he walked towards the elevator.

"Calm down, gees."

Walking back inside you closed the door. Smiling as you rested your back against it.

✩ Part 3

“How come he gets a delicious lunch and I don’t?” Mina pouted turning her lips to the side with an upset look.

“How did you know I gave him one?” You asked putting your chopsticks down.

Mina put her phone in front of your face showing you the post that Mirio had made.

“Oh.” You blushed off to the side, “My mom―it was her idea since I mentioned that Mirio had looked upset yesterday.”

“Does she secretly ship you two?” Kyoka asked.

Your face turned bright red at her insinuation. “N―No! She just cares about him like if he was her son.”

“Are you sure about that?” Mina sighed putting her phone away and picking up her chopsticks. “She sure does go beyond making sure that he’s happy.”

“How long have you known him by the way?” Ochako asked.

“About since junior high.” You answered looking down at your food. “We moved a lot and I wasn’t able to finish during my last year. When I met him he said he was already in high school.”

“And he didn’t hesitate to befriend you it seems.” Kyoka said.

Shaking your head you continued, “Actually… one day after school I got home frustrated because I was having such a hard time with science. Mirio was there when I arrived back home and asked me what was wrong. He offered to help me and we started to become closer.”

“Oh so he’s the guy you were walking with on day of the ceremony.”

“You saw them?” Ochako asked looking at her.

Kyoka nodded, “I thought you two were together but then heard you two were just friends.”

“Why… did you think we were dating?” You asked.

She shrugged. “You two were acting really close that day, even held the side of his arm. People thought you looked cute together.”

Nodding slowly you put your chopsticks down suddenly not being able to finish your food.

You never really gave it a second thought about what others thought. You always got along well with Mirio ever since you both met. Mirio was there beside you whenever you felt upset or needed someone to vent to. He became part of the group of people who you trusted and cared about.

Noticing your sudden change of behavior, Ochako then spoke.

“What type of guy was he by the way?”

“Hm?”

“The guy you met at work and at the cafe.” She smiled, “You never told us about what you guys talked about!”

“Oh well we talked a bit about the type of things we like to do.” You explained, “Also what our favorite music was.”

“Was it awkward at first?”

“A bit…” You chuckled, “We were too shy to say anything at first but once we said hi to each other it got better.”

“What type of guy was he?” Kyoka asked. “Was he decent?”

“He was…” you paused for a second as you started to relive the conversation you had with him. “Someone I have never met before. Every time he smiled, little dimples showed up on the corner of his lips. He had bright green eyes and hair.”

“What was his name?”

Your lips parted but words never came out.

Did you two literally just skip that part?

“Y/n…” Mina leaned forward looking at you, “Did you never get his name?”

You retorted, “O―Of course I did!”

“How could you have forgotten his name?!”

“We―well the conversation was too good that we skipped over that part all together!” You groaned putting your head in your hands, “Damn it… what if I don’t see him again?”

“Hey if he knows where you work then he’ll know where to find you.” Ochako rubbed your back gently, “Don’t give up hope so easily.”

“I hope so…” You mumbled, “I really want to keep talking with him.”

As you made your back to class after lunch, you saw Mirio walking down the hallway with Nejire and Tamaki.

Mirio of course didn’t hesitate to walk over to you and your friends to say hi.

“Y/n, the bento box was really delicious.” He smiled. “Tell your mom I said thank you and to expect a cake soon.”

Chuckling you shook your head. “You don’t have to my mom was happy to make you one too!”

“Still she’s very kind and I want to thank her for all the times she’s send me food.”

“Can you ask her if she can send me one too?” Nejire asked. “I got a small taste from his lunch and I loved it!”

“It was very tasty.” Tamaki added.

“Y―Yeah,” you shyly spoke. “I’ll ask my mom if she can make a bigger one for you guys!”

“I can’t wait to taste that delicious food to myself again!” Nejire smiled widely. 

“You two are really close aren’t you?” Kyoka said pointing between you and Mirio. 

He chuckled rubbing the back of his head, “I’m surprised she’s been my friend this long.” 

“Don’t say that.” You added, “I should be the one thankful for all you’ve helped me Mirio. I am grateful everyday that we’re still close.” 

“You guys really do compliment each other.” Mina smiled. 

“Alright enough teasing we should head back to our classroom before Mr. Aizawa gets mad.” Ochako said, “It was nice seeing you guys.” 

Nejire agreed, “Same here! We should definitely hangout some time after school!” 

“Karaoke?!” Mina suggested to which she eagerly nodded he head. 

“How about Sunday?” Tamaki asked. 

“Sunday should be fine for us.” Kyoka answered, “What about you, Y/n?” 

“Sounds like a nice time. Sunday is fine with me.”

“We can meet up near the train station there’s one karaoke place not too far away.” Mirio said.

“I think I know which one you’re talking about.”

“The one that has a big sign outside the place right?” He asked looking at you.

“Yeah! I heard they have good food there too!”

Chuckling he spoke. “I knew you’d probably like it there.”

“She is big on food after all.” Ochako said.

“I am,” you smiled. “You can’t have a good time if the food isn’t good.”

“I trust your choice then.” Tamaki said.

“What time should we meet you guys there?” Mina asked.

“Hmm…” Nejire tapped her chin thinking. “Are you guys allowed to get home late?”

“I actually have a curfew at 8.” Ochako chuckled feeling embarrassed.

Mina sighed, “Actually all of us do.”

“That’s fine.” Tamaki suggested, “How does two sound? We can even go somewhere else afterwards.”

“I’m sure it’ll be fine if I go but I need to ask my parents to just to be sure that I’m allowed to go.” You said.

“I’m sure your parents will say yes.” Mirio spoke, “I can go talk to them if you want.”

“O―Oh no that’s okay. I’m sure they’ll say yes.”

“Yay! I can’t wait to go to Karaoke with you guys!” Mina exclaimed feeling excited for a day to relax with friends.

Kyoka agreed. “It’s been so long since we’ve hung out together.”

“Really? How come?” Nejire curiously asked.

“Mostly because of me.” You shyly raised your hand, “My schedule has changed so I only have two days where my shift starts late.”

“You only have Sunday off?” Mirio asked. “They should be giving you two days.”

“It’s only temporary since I’m saving money at the moment and the extra hours help a lot.”

Nejire pouted, “Still you need your rest too.”

“I’m fine.” You reassured them. “I get plenty of breaks.”

Mirio sighed, “If you say so… just don’t hesitate to talk to us if they’re mistreating you.”

“You’re such a worry wart.” Placing your hand on his shoulder you gave it a gentle squeeze. “There’s nothing to worry about, Mirio.”

He took your word for it despite being worried about your well-being. You meant the world to him and pained him seeing you work so late on top of having school work. However he needed to trust what you said and relax, the last thing he wanted was to make you feel uncomfortable or upset.

"Yay! I can't wait to go to Karaoke with you guys!" Mina exclaimed feeling excited for a day to relax with friends.

Kyoka agreed. "It's been so long since we've hung out together."

"Really? How come?" Nejire curiously asked.

"Mostly because of me." You shyly raised your hand, "My schedule has changed so I only have two days where my shift starts late."

"You only have Sunday off?" Mirio asked. "They should be giving you two days."

"It's only temporary since I'm saving money at the moment and the extra hours help a lot."

Nejire pouted, "Still you need your rest too."

"I'm fine." You reassured them. "I get plenty of breaks."

Mirio sighed, "If you say so... just don't hesitate to talk to us if they're mistreating you."

"You're such a worry wart." Placing your hand on his shoulder you gave it a gentle squeeze. "There's nothing to worry about, Mirio."

He took your word for it despite being worried about your well-being. You meant the world to him and pained him seeing you work so late on top of having school work. However he needed to trust what you said and relax, the last thing he wanted was to make you feel uncomfortable or upset.

a/n: thank you so much for reading any reblog, like, and feedback is appreciated. also thank you for 1k followers it's insane but I'm very thankful, I hope to keep getting your support in the future. thank you again!

Biting your lip you looked down at the message that popped up on your phone screen. 

Hey, are you almost here? They just left a few minutes ago. 

You couldn’t help but smile as you reread the text, quickly you messaged him back. 

I’m about two minutes away. <3 

Your head kept turning back every two seconds making sure no one was following you. 

Lying wasn’t something you were comfortable with doing often it times it made you feel guilty for blowing off your friends but what else could you do? 

You were a teenager living her love life and any chance you could get to see him you’d take it. 

Falling for a villain was never on your list of things to do when you enrolled into U.A but it happened. 

As you turned the corner to the alleyway you saw him standing there in front of the bar’s backdoor exit. 

A smile forming on his lips as he approached you. “I was afraid you weren’t going to come today.” 

“Sorry,” you mumbled planting a soft kiss on his lips. “It took longer than I thought it would.” 

“What was taking you so long?’ He asked as he wrapped an arm around your waist holding you against his chest. 

“The girl’s were talking about planning a sleepover tomorrow and long story short they kept asking for my input on the location and time.” 

Dabi held your chin with his index and thumb gently, “First they keep you for awhile and now they’re taking me away from you tomorrow?”

He shook his head in disappointment and pressed his lips against yours. 

“I’m starting to feel jealous of them.” He mumbled as he kissed you, “Maybe I should sneak in during the sleepover to see you.” 

A blush crept up your cheeks at the thought of him seeing you in your pajamas. 

Smirking he said, “So is that’s not a no then?” 

Pulling away you shook your head, “Knowing you I know you wouldn’t hesitate to do that.”

“Well when it comes to seeing my favorite girl, why would I?” 

You chuckled, “You’re insane, Dabi.” 

Smiling he pecked your lips, “Yeah for you, doll.” 

It was crazy how the least person you’d ever thought would be the one to make your chest flutter with happiness.

“We should head inside before someone sees us.” You said. 

“But I’m too comfortable here,” he groaned burying his face into your neck. 

“I am too but we will be safer inside, Dabi.” 

A sigh escaped his lips, pulling away he wrapped his arms around your midsection from behind. 

“Who else is going to be at the sleepover?” He asked as you both walked inside. 

“From what I know it’ll only be us girls but she said she might ask our other classmates.” 

“So there’s going to be guys too?...” 

You placed your bag down on the floor next to you, “They’re just going to be friends most likely from the same classroom.” 

“Great guys your age.” Dabi muttered as you both sat down on the couch, his arms still wrapped around you. 

You leaned in holding the left side of his face, “You know I only have eyes for you right?” 

“You better.” Dabi joked, “Or else I’m not afraid to challenge them.” 

“You’d go that far for me?” 

A blush crept up his cheeks, suddenly feeling shy to meet your gaze. 

“Yeah...” 

Looking at him in the eyes you softly smiled, "You never cease to amaze me sometimes."

Dabi didn't say anything only looked at you back with adoration. His hand going up and caressing the side of your face with gentleness.

"I'll make sure to keep surprising you."

The smile rested on your lips as you spoke, "How much time do we have left before they get back?"

"Probably around," he lifted his gaze off from you towards the clock behind the bar counter. "Four hours."

"I'm surprised you didn't go usually they always ask for you to accompany them."

He shrugged resting his head on your shoulder. "I told him I was tired and didn't feel like going not like they needed me this time anyways."

You scratch lightly the back of his head. "Honestly... I'm kinda glad you said no."

"Why's that?"

Your cheeks turned a light pink, "I like spending time with you ... especially like this. When you're not around for days... I miss you."

A small smile formed on his lips as he replayed your words in his head.

It was difficult for him to be vulnerable although he trusted you so much and never felt this comfortable with anyone, he still had a hard time saying what he felt.

"Y/n I―"

"I know you have a hard time saying what you feel." You said, "I understand so I don't want you to feel pressured to say things like that. I can tell how you feel about me with the way you act towards me."

"I got lucky..." He mumbled placing his hand on top of yours and intertwining your fingers together.

You gave his hand a loving squeeze smiling down at him.

"I'm really hating how they give you so much work to do." Dabi mumbled as he looked over your shoulder seeing the endless papers spread around the mini table.

"Trust me I sometimes hate it too." You chuckled "But I have to finish it or else I won't be able to pass on to the next grade."

"Yeah but can't they not go over board?" He questioned, "Summer is already around the corner."

"They're final exams not much different from junior high." You said biting your lower lip in concentration.

"Still they've changed the rules I see." A sigh escaped from his lips, "At least I'll be able to be around you during vacation."

"Oh yeah? Where would we go?"

Resting his chin on your shoulder he began to think. "How about we go to an aquarium it's not that far away from here. Or we can always have a date at the park."

"I've haven't been to an aquarium in a long time." Turning your head you looked at him, a smile forming on your lips. "I'd love to go with you."

"Yeah?" Dabi said softly smiling, as he stared into those beautiful big eyes he loved seeing. "We can go next Saturday, I don't have anything planned."

"Oh that's right." You mumbled looking away.

"What is it?" He asked slightly pulling away.

"I'm going to the training camp this weekend for a week. I forgot to tell you."

"Where... is it going to be at?"

You shrugged, "I'm not sure, we only got told that if we pass the exam we'd go."

"I see..." Dabi mumbled looking away, "Do you... have to pass?"

"Dabi... as much as I would rather stay with you I have to pass that exam."

"I can train you instead."

"I appreciate you trying to help me," you leaned in closer to him and pecked his lips. "But I need to improve my quirk and the pros there will be able to help me."

"I know..."

"Then what's the matter?"

"I―" he paused trying to gather the words he was trying to say. "I... won't be there to help you... if something were to happen to you."

"You're concerned about my safety?..."

"Yeah I am..." His hands rested on your hips, "As much as heroes will be there to protect you guys... sometimes things happen and―"

You frowned, "Hey... nothing bad is going to happen okay?"

"You don't know that."

"Dabi." You wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him into you. "I'm going to be okay, nothing is going to happen. I'll be back before you know it."

He closed his eyes resting the side of his face on your shoulder, his grip tightening. A sudden feeling of worry and fear ran through him a thought of losing you.

Past him wouldn't care if another person in his life died, he never got close to anyone. All he did was pass through life alone as much as possible.

But when you showed up something instantly attracted him towards you. Since then he never stopped thinking about you, always followed you around from afar making sure you were safe.

Something within him said he needed to convince you to stay. It wasn't a coincidence that the league had a plan to attack a part of the forest and knowing now you told him, it made sense.

If he saw you hurt because of his actions he wouldn't ever be able to forgive himself for putting you in harms way.

"I―I don't want... to lose you, Y/n." He whispered. "I can't lose you."

Your eyes turned glossy as you heard him say what he was feeling for the first time.

"I don't want to lose you either, Dabi."

"Don't go." Dabi pleaded, "You can tell them you're sick―"

"I'll be okay." You reassured him, "Nothing bad is going to happen. The pros are going to be there and they're going to keep us safe."

All he can do is pray and hope that someone heard him.

Have you eaten yet?

They're not pushing you too hard are they?

You shook your head, smiling to yourself as you read his worry filled texts.

"Oh who's got you smiling?" Mina asked as she approached you.

"No one." You quickly said. "I was reading a text that my sister sent me."

"Hmmm, somehow I want to believe you but at the same times I don't."

Chuckling you started to walk towards the rest of the group with Mina by your side.

"She was telling me about a boy she saw on the train." You explained trying to hide the smile on your face. "And decided to talk to him."

"Was he cute?"

"Yeah, she fell for him right away." You smiled. "Might even think about asking him on a date."

"Wow she's confident," She pouted. "I wish I was that way whenever I saw a cute guy."

"It's hard but you should I'm sure anyone would say yes to you." You grinned pointing with your eyes towards Kirishima.

Her face turned a bright red, shaking her head in denial.

Before she was able to say anything else, Ragdoll then spoke.

"Alright, we filled our tummies and cleaned the dishes!" She exclaimed. "Now it's time for the test of courage!"

"I'm so excited! I've been waiting all day to do something fun." Mina widely smiled.

"Each of you will be put with a random partner and walk through the forest. Class B will be the scarers and you'll try not to get scared easily or you'll loose."

"Do we have to choose random pairs?!" Bakugo yelled. "I shouldn't get stuck with icy hot!"

"Bakugo it's just a walk, calm down." Todoroki said.

"Shut up! Out of everyone here it just so happened to be with you."

"Calm down, Bakugo." Mina rolled her eyes, "Just walk through quickly and it'll be over soon."

"Shut up, racoon eyes."

"Alright, Bakugo and Todoroki you're up!" Ragdoll yelled.

The both of them then went up first before you two. You took this time to quickly answer him back.

Yeah I already did (:

Right now we're doing any activity after training so hard

But no surprise, he answered not even a second after you sent him the message.

I miss you, doll

A feeling of warmth formed in your chest at the thought of seeing him again soon.

I miss you too, only three more days <3

"Ashido, L/n!" Ragdoll yelled. "You're up next!"

"Ready?" You asked Mina.

She nodded hesitantly, "Alright... might as well get over it. You better not leave my side if you get scared though!"

Chuckling you walked into the forest together. "I wouldn't even dream of it."

There were screams being heard left and right, but you knew they weren't from Class A.

Luckily it wasn't too dark thanks to the moon that shines bright in the sky, making the path visible.

"We should have that sleepover after getting back from camp." Mina mentioned.

"Agree, it'll be easier to do now without all the testing―"

"What's that?" She asked pointing at the trees.

"What?―"

Turning your head, your heart stopped beating.

Those were flames getting stronger by the minute, but they weren't any kind.

They were blue.

And you knew who the only person who possessed those flames was.

"Oh, look we have guests!" The villain with a full covered masked face spoke. "What should we do Dabi?"

Dabi turned his face, eyes slightly widening as he saw you standing there.

"Go and see if you can find that kid." He said.

"What will you do?" The villain asked.

"Just go, I'll be right behind you."

"Mina." You turned to look at her, "You need to leave."

"W―What about you?! I can't leave you here alone!"

"Go!" You exclaimed, "I can slow him down with my quirk. You need to go and warn the teachers and warn anyone else about the fire."

"I can't just leave you here―"

"I'll be fine, just go!"

Mina hesitated, she knew you were strong but leaving you alone... she'd never be able to forgive herself if something happened.

"Okay." She said and trusted you hoping that you knew what you were doing. "I'll be back as soon as possible with help!"

You nodded, waiting for her to be far enough before you turned to look at him.

"What are you doing here?" You asked walking over to him. "I thought you were off doing a job somewhere else―"

"I was." He said. "I didn't think Shigaraki meant here."

You didn't know whether to believe him or not. Dabi was always honest with you but seeing him here made you feel confused.

Dabi could tell.

"Hey... I didn't use you alright?"

He went to touch you but you moved back without realizing it.

"I told you I was coming to camp... and who would be there and how many pros."

"That doesn't mean I would ever use you this way and you know it." He stated as you looked away from his gaze. "I didn't have a clue that you were going to be here in this exact location."

But then something clicked in you as you began to recall your conversation the way he was worried about you.

"Are you telling me the truth?" You questioned looking at him, "As soon as I mentioned it you started to worry about my safety knowing well I can always handle my own ground. You never worried as much as you did that day."

Dabi looked away, his hand forming into a fist.

Tears started to form in your eyes, "You knew there was a possibility that they'd attack here didn't you?"

He stayed quiet.

Pushed him back with all the strength you had, moving his body slightly backwards.

"Didn't you?!" You exclaimed. "It clicked in you that they were attacking and you stayed quiet?! Knowing that my safety along with my friends and teachers was on the line."

"What the hell else was I supposed to do?" He retorted raising his voice. "You couldn't exactly go out and about tell the police about what was going to happen without them questioning you! If you had told your teachers it would have been the same."

Looking straight in the eyes, he continued. "Or what is that what you wanted? For us to get caught and for this to end?!"

"Y―You know that's something I don't want to happen!"

"It's not? Because you pointing fingers at me and questioning my feelings for being worried about your safety, is saying it all."

Running your fingers through your hair you stepped back.

He sighed, "The league doesn't care about anyone getting hurt... and you know that. I only had an idea of it happening... that's why I wanted to convince you to not come."

"You should have just been honest..."

"Let's face it doll," he continued. "If I have been you still would have gone. I know you wouldn't hesitate to jump into danger to protect them. That's why I got worried about your safety. They're going to do anything to get what they need and knowing that made me feel scared that you'll get caught in the cross fire."

A tear rolled down your cheek.

Every bone inside of you knew that he was telling the truth, there wasn't nothing malicious about his actions.

He kept quiet to protect you but in the end it only made both of your fears come true.

"I'm sorry..." you mumbled activating your quirk as you looked down at the ground. "I didn't want this moment to come but we both know it was going to happen..."

"Doll..."

Shaking your head you looked at him with red eyes, "God damn I love you Dabi." You confessed catching him off guard, "But I can't let you get passed me... I'm a hero in training and I need to stop anyone that has the intention of harming someone."

"You really wanna do this?"

"I don't," you swallowed down hard. "But I need to."

"I don't want to hurt you, Y/n." He said activating his blue flames. "We can always figure something else out."

"Sooner or later we would have to do this and unfortunately we ran out of time."

Without warning you ran towards him as your hand formed a ray of red and orange light.

Dabi moved out of the way just in time to avoid your attack.

Frustration began forming within you as he dodged you every time, barely even trying to touch you.

"Why are you running away?!" You exclaimed forming small balls of energy and throwing them at him.

He jumped back as you got closer, "I told you. I'm not going to hurt you!"

You cried out, "Fight back, damn it!"

An ache grew in his chest seeing how destroyed you were.

"Damn it." He mumbled feeling himself getting emotional as well.

In between the crying and using your quirk, your body became exhausted. Your legs became weak and you landed on your knees.

You could feel the cold dirt underneath your skin but you didn't care. Sobs escaped from within you.

He kneeled down on one knee, placing his hand on your cheek.

"Y/n―"

"Get away from her!" A voice yelled out as a wall of ice formed in between you two.

At the same time an explosion could be heard, as you lifted your head you saw Dabi getting hit by it. His back hit against one of the tress, and fell onto the ground.

Your eyes widened, "Dabi..."

"Are you alright?" Todoroki asked looking at you.

"Who the hell is that much of an idiot to talk with a villain?!" Bakugo exclaimed.

Slowly you stood up, your eyes not leaving Dabi.

"Where the hell did racoon eyes go?" Bakugo asked.

"I told her to leave and warn the others." You answered. "I hope she was able to help them."

A loud sound could be heard coming from behind you, Shoji was screaming along with Midoriya. They were running away from another villain that had spider like legs but made out of iron.

"We need your light!" Shoji exclaimed.

At that same time Dabi slowly stood up holding his side, seeing how you were helping out one of your classmates.

You didn't know what was going on, you were physically present but mentally it felt as if you were somewhere else.

Your head kept turning back as the villain approached you three, but Dabi had a different plan in mind.

He went forward and started fighting against Bakugo, with his flames. Todoroki tried to stay focused on helping Shoji to calm down Dark Shadow along with you.

The villain showed up and began attacking everyone with it's sharp like teeth. Then Uraraka and Tsu showed up along with another classmate that was passed out.

Mr. Aizawa and Tiger showed up all of a sudden as well, trying to tame down the villain.

Your body froze as you saw the chaos in front of you unfold. Seeing as your friends and classmates fight to put those villains down, using their quick to it's fullest potential.

Meanwhile Dabi's body was taking too much damage even beads of sweat started to drip down the side of his head.

"Stay down!" Mr. Aizawa yelled as he ables to finally use his bandages to hold him in place.

Dabi looked over at you, giving you a tired smile but you could see the pain in his eyes.

"I'm sorry." He mouthed at you.

Something within you told you needed to choose now. That you couldn't waste another second thinking about it.

It's true what they say, love makes you do crazy things.

Activating your quirk, you formed the brightest ball of energy you could. Making sure everyone was distracted you raised your arm in the air and threw the ball up in the air, blinding everyone.

Quickly you took it as an opportunity to run to Dabi's side and catching him.

"I―I should be the one saving you." He said.

Shaking your head you wrapped your arm around his waist and his arm around your neck, holding him up.

"Maybe you can do that next time."

"Are you sure?" Dabi asked.

You nodded, "I can always keep training to get stronger but I wouldn't ever be able to live with regret if I don't chose you right now."

He closed his eyes, resting his forehead against yours.

"I love you, doll..." He whispered.

A small smile formed on your lips, "I love you too... now let's get out of here yeah?"

"Let's go."

Worry didn't cross your minds at that moment all you were relieved about was knowing you two were alive and together just like how you always wanted.

The sound of the clock ticking became louder as you stood quietly looking out the large window. People down below looked happier, compared to you.

Every day you asked yourself how this turned into a nightmare. What had started as a beautiful love story, was now nothing but a routine that only shared it's rare comfortable moments only to go south within a minute.

All the ache you had inside was starting to become too much to handle.

Maybe it might be time to let go

A gentle knock was heard coming from your office door. Quickly you wiped away your tears and turned around to face the figure in the doorway.

"Did I come at a bad time?" Your coworker and friend asked.

"I'm fine, Hizashi."

"I brought you some tea," he said placing the mug down on your desk. "I also told Best Jeanist that you were busy at the moment."

"Oh, you did?" You chuckled lightly. "He might end up getting mad if he finds out you lied."

Hizashi shrugged, "He'll understand."

"He has been very kind."

"Have you talked with him?" He asked leaning back against your desk as you stood next to him.

"These days it's difficult to have a word with him," you explained. "I get home late or he does then I always wake up alone the next morning... only leaving a single note saying he had to leave early."

"Really‒ god does it not cross his mind at all?‒ I mean come on."

Shrugging you picked up the mug, blowing on the steam lightly. "It's become such a normality between him and me that talking about it seems so far away from his mind."

"But still," he sighed. "No matter how hard you try to ignore it or put it off it doesn't simply just go away. When you love someone you can't ignore it."

"And I do not want to anymore but god‒" sniffling you wiped away the tears that were escaping with the back of your hand. "I feel like this relationship never meant... a-anything to him to begin with."

"From the few times I have seen him, it did look like he truly loved being with you."

"At the beginning maybe yeah‒ but now," you sighed looking away. "I can't believe him when he tries to show me affection."

Hizashi stood up, taking the mug from your hands and pulling you into a tight embrace. "Everything is going to be okay." He softly spoke, rubbing your back gently.

Your arms wrapped themselves around his waist, hugging him tightly back. "I hope so..." you mumbled into his chest. "Cause I‒I can't keep going on like this."

The mere thought about parting ways from him scared you.

Someone cleared their throat. "I came here to talk but I guess you're busy at the moment."

Pulling away, you looked at the door with red blood shot eyes.

Keigo looked away from you, rubbing the back of his neck. He felt a slight sting in his chest seeing you had been crying.

"I'll be in my office if you need me." Hizashi said.

"T‒Thank you for the tea."

He gave your forearm and encouraging squeeze and walked out of your office leaving you two alone.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came here with Endeavor he needed to talk to Best Jeanist about something."

"Right," you scoffed. "That makes sense now... it wasn't because you came here voluntarily."

"Believe me if I had known you'd be that touchy with him I wouldn't have come." He spat.

Your eyes widened, blinking slowly. "Wow, I don't know if I should be happy that you're jealous or that you're making ridiculous assumptions."

"I'm not making assumptions I am calling like it is."

You tried keeping your composure but he was already crossing a line and it was starting to hurt.

"No," you said looking at him in the eyes. "You're only saying that because we are distant with one another. And it hurts knowing you think I would ever cheat on you, Keigo."

He looked away. "I've seen the way he looks at you."

"So?!" You exclaimed, sniffling. "If it was him or anyone else I wouldn't ever cheat on you."

You were telling the truth, he knew that deep down.

"Guys like him don't care if the women is single or not, Y/n." He explained, "They don't have second thoughts."

"Funny how you can see that but when it comes to other women flirting with you on the street you suddenly turn blind."

"You know I would never cheat on you either-"

"Do i?" You questioned, "Sometimes I wonder if those promises you made to me a long time ago even matter to you now."

Keigo ran his fingers through his hair, clenching his jaw. He didn't want to raise his voice but it was getting harder to hold back.

"I kept my promises ever since we've been together!"

Crossing your arms you spoke. "You just don't get it, do you?"

"No I never have." His hand turned into a fist, "You can't ever tell me anything without me having to ask every single time."

"Do I have to spell everything out for you?!" Your vision started to become blurry. "I've tried so damn hard to let arguments go in the past. I was so busy trying to save the love we had by burying everything down! I was suffering in silence even when you were smiling away as if everything was okay between us-"

He cut you off. "Exactly, you chose to keep everything inside when no one asked you to!"

"A-are you... wow‒" you looked away stepping back as the tears fell to the ground. "I can't believe that I used to think about saving your feelings first before my own."

"You're twisting my words-"

"How the hell am I twisting your words now?!"

"Have you stopped to actually think for once? Without blaming someone else," he continued. "If you just had talked to me like an adult arguments could have been avoided!"

"How could I? When you never had any time!" You retorted.

"We were both busy don't go and point the finger only at me when this relationship is a two person deal not just one-"

"Yeah well it stopped being like that a long time ago, didn't it?"

You both looked away from one another. Those words lingered in the air as you stood quiet. With all the emotions running high, neither of you were able to openly talk about what needed to actually be said.

Keigo lifted his up to look at you.

This relationship was breaking apart too fast to stop the damage that was already occurring.

He wanted to save this, to save you but there was no reassurance that this could have a good ending. His heart yearned for you, being away from you was the most strenuous months of his life.

Laying down at night on that big empty bed made him realize how much he missed holding you at night. How you would drift off to sleep whenever he told you about his day. Or the way his wings would wrap themselves around your body in a protective embrace.

How his heart used to do flips whenever you told him 'I love you'

It felt like centuries since the last time he heard those words.

"We're drifting apart..." You cried, crouching down and placing your palms on your eyes. "T‒The more we ignore this... we are too far away t‒to save a‒anything."

Slowly he approached you, kneeling down in front of you. Carefully he wiped away your tears being afraid of hurting you.

"You were just too good for me." He sadly smiled, his touch making you shiver.

"I‒I just wish it could have turned out differently for u‒us." You stuttered.

"I know." Keigo mumbled and kisses your forehead.

"K‒Keigo," your voice cracked, kneeling you wrapped your arms around his neck. "I‒I'm sorry... I‒I'm so sorry." You repeated crying out.

"Shh," he wrapped one arm around your back while petting the back of your head. "I'm sorry too, baby." His eyes started to form tears as he spoke. "There's nothing I can say to fix what happened or erase the damage we both suffered. B‒But... I can thank you for the happiness you brought me and how much I'll miss seeing you every day."

"T‒Thank you for being with me even when we were uncertain." You weakly smiled. "I‒I'm going to miss you Keigo... every happy moment and smile you gave me."

A tear roll down his cheek. The reality of not being with you was starting to settle in. Although he saw it coming since a long time ago he couldn't help but feel like his whole world was falling apart.

His hold on you tightened, it was a sign you always recognized when he was scared.

"You're going to be okay, Keigo," you softly spoke trying to ease his pain even if it was only a little bit. "I know you will be..."

Sniffling he buried his face into your shoulder. "The worst p‒part is that I‒I saw it coming... I knew we'd hurt each other but I still wanted to keep you around... to keep you n‒next to m‒me."

"Me too."

Neither of you wanted to let the other one go but if you didn't you'd fall back on the toxic pattern, something no one deserved to feel.

Slowly but surely you both pulled away, already missing each other's warmth.

You both wiped away your tears that were covered in regret and sadness.

"I know I'm too late to apologize for the way I acted and ask for forgiveness," he said. "And you don't have to, all I want is for you to be happy in the future e‒even if that means... it's away from me."

Your lip began to tremble, covering it up with a smile you nodded. "I‒I wish you the best and I‒I want you to be happy no matter what."

"Hawks!" Endeavor yelled from outside your office.

"I‒I should get going."

You swallowed hard, "Y‒Yeah..."

His body turned to leave but his feet never did. His heart and eyes were solely focused on you, on kissing you and holding you once more.

You wanted to yell at him to not leave, to beg him to stay and fix this one more time.

"Goodbye... Y/n."

"Goodbye... Keigo."

In the end it would have been a losing game for two hearts that cared too deeply about one another.

"Yeah mom, I'll be there soon." You softly spoke into the phone as you walked slowly to the bus station.

"Make sure to look out and keep your eyes open, please," she pleaded. "There's been a rise in crime in the neighborhood. I don't want you to end up like that poor girl."

"I know mom, don't worry." Looking up at the sky you saw how the bright blue color was quickly changing into a light orange. "I'll be home soon, okay?"

"Alright, see you soon."

A sigh escaped from your lips as you ended the call. Your feet started to move once again, yet your movements became even slower. There was hesitation to get home. All you wanted was to go somewhere else, anywhere but where your father was.

Countless of arguments and sleepless nights was all you could remember when ever you saw him. Of course he apologized, still that didn't make it any better nor would it heal all the pain he caused.

Even so you keep wishing that it was enough to erase it from your memories.

As you got closer, you could see the train station wasn't that far away from your reach. Your head moved to the right then to left, there were no strangers insight only the ocean. Not thinking twice you decided to take a detour and go through the alleyway.

Was it a logical choice? No but it would have to do knowing how much of a small town this was. If anyone saw you they'd immediately tell your parents about it. It was one of the things you hated about living here, you could never do anything without someone knowing.

Luckily it was empty, there was still daylight meaning you weren't in any danger whatsoever.

"Well, aren't you a bit too confident to be walking through here?"

You turned around, seeing a shadow coming out of the corner of a water pipe. They were tall, wore a black worn out coat. You couldn't quite see their face only those bright blue eyes that had the same exact color as the ocean.

"Shouldn't you be heading home in the opposite direction?"

Holding onto the strap of your crossbody backpack, you spoke. "It's technically still daytime. I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to walk through here."

They lifted the corner of their lips. "Didn't your parents ever teach you to not walk alone in unfamiliar places?"

"It's not unfamiliar," you explained. "I've lived here my whole life."

"You always know just what to say don't you?" They walked a few steps towards you, the light that was coming from the sunset started to illuminate his face.

"And you're the reason why my small town has started to become dangerous, isn't that right?" You questioned.

He clicked his tongue against his teeth. "I haven't hurt anyone, I don't get why they're blaming it on me."

"Well it's not helping your case if you keep hiding out in the alleyways. Shouldn't you be hiding somewhere else? Or at least trying to blend in?"

"There's no reason for that," he placed his hand in the front of his coat pockets. "I'm not staying here long anyways."

"You're a wanted villain, Dabi."

His eyes widened.

"That is your name isn't it?"

"I thought small town folks like you didn't keep up with much about the news that happens in the city."

A small chuckle escaped your lips, surprising him. "When you live with parents who like to watch the news, it is hard to not listen in."

"Then you know about my past and all the things I've done I suppose."

"A bit," you said. "But I don't judge."

"You're either a different or you're insane for telling that to a villain that's killed hundreds of people."

Shrugging you stepped closer to him. "Maybe... but with someone who has endured too much pain at a young age shouldn't be judged for the actions he took when he didn't have any support."

A sad smile formed on his lips, looking down at the ground. "I didn't have a choice not when I was raised with an old man who only cared about his own selfish needs and desires. In his mind he did not want to protect the family he was blessed with."

Looking off to the side you nodded. "My father was like that," your lips formed a thin line. "I would lie awake at night waiting for him to come home. But all I ever saw was his drunken self moving in through the door, barely able to walk a foot without stumbling over his own feet."

"Your father was an alcoholic?" He asked, looking at you.

You crossed your arms in front of your chest. "I guess you could call him that, also did drugs. Whenever he got paid he'd go off somewhere with his buddies after work. Often at times we never even heard from him until he got home."

"Your old man didn't look after you and your mom well, didn't even deserve to hold the title of a father much like my old man." He commented. "He sounds like a shitty person."

Turning your head, you looked at him. "That's what I liked to think, that maybe if I had these thoughts of hatred it'll make it less painful to look at him."

"I would encourage you and say that you should but," he continued. "I'm the least indicated person to say that. As much as I'm embarrassed to admit it but holding onto grudges only leads you to become self-destructive"

"When you lived almost your whole life with someone who hurts you intentionally,"

"Without bothering to see how they're breaking you apart," Dabi added.

You nodded. "All you want is to feel numb even for a little bit."

"I don't even know why I'm talking with you about this."

"Trust me I'm surprised myself." You crossed your arms in front of your chest. "Never thought I'd opened up to a stranger."

"You mean a villain." He corrected you.

"I meant a stranger, a human being."

Dabi had many encounters in his life, those who he thought he could trust and those who ran away being afraid of him.

And now here you were standing in front of him, chatting with him as if you two were old friends venting to one another.

It was a strange feeling, one he never got to recognize when he was a kid. All his childhood he was forced to train whenever his brother didn't show good results it would be his turn to be the exception.

"What things were you never able to experience as a child?" You asked him throwing him off guard by the sudden question.

His cheeks turned a light pink, he swallowed. "I-I don't know... what is a kid supposed to experience?" Dabi felt embarrassed by his answer knowing he most likely sounded lame.

"I experienced some things not many though since we were kinda poor when I was a kid." You answered. "But I can take you somewhere nearby that's free that you might enjoy."

Dabi looked at you as if you had lost your mind. "Mind I remind you, I'm a villain. I can't just go out into public being dressed like this-"

"Where we are going there's no one around at this hour," you clarified. "The people here don't work late, they go home early to their families."

He felt hesitant, wanting to believe your word but it was risky. "I don't know-"

"We're strangers I get that, we most likely won't see each other again." You said, "Yet let me at least show you something you won't ever forget and if you end up hating it then you can leave without a word."

His lips parted then closed again.

After a moment of indecisiveness, he spoke. "Fine."

"Follow me then." Dabi didn't know if he was going to regret it or not later on still he followed you because he himself didn't know either.

You stopped at the entrance of the alleyway, looking both sides seeing it was deserted. There were no sounds coming from nearby, indicating the coast was clear.

Dabi slowly followed, slightly squinting his eyes as the sun shined brighter than during the day. He covered the sun's rays with his hand. "Where are we going?"

"We're almost there." You said, grabbing onto his coat making sure he wouldn't fall with the small step in front of you. "Be careful there's a step."

"Yeah I saw." He said looking at his footing, then he felt something cold underneath his feet. "What the hell is that?"

"That is called sand," you let him go at the same time he removed his hand from his forehead. "You're at the beach."

Slowly he blinked trying to focus on the bright sun that was setting over the blue ocean. The breeze made him stop moving, it was cold.

His feet began to move towards the ocean, not being able to grasp the thought of being at the beach for the first time.

"It's beautiful," he mumbled as his eyes started to glisten.

A small smile formed on your lips, looking at the view in front of you. "It's one of the seven wonders in life."

"I suddenly feel peaceful."

"That's what it is supposed to do," you said holding his wrist. "Come on you need to get closer."

"N-no that's okay, I'm fine right here-"

"The ocean doesn't bite, Dabi." You pulled him along with you as you started to walk closer to the water.

He looked over at you, you were smiling. The tension you held on your face when you both talked went away as soon as you stepped foot in the sand. It's like the conversation from earlier never happened, although he was wishing you hadn't forgotten it.

Seeing him thought, you let go of his wrist without him knowing and lightly splashed him with your foot.

"Hey!" Dabi winced closing his eyes, then opening them up realizing it was just water.

"Sorry, it is kinda hard not to when you are near the water." You giggled, smiling brightly for the first time.

Cracking a small smile he looked at you. "You should be you're going to regret doing it."

Without warning he lifted his foot splashing you twice the size. Your clothes were immediately soaking wet. The cold breeze made it worse.

"Y-you!-" You stuttered as your teeth chattered from the cold. "I-I'm going to get you."

"You can try." He smirked, egging you on.

Smiling widely you quickly lifted one foot then the other casting a wave of water towards him. He was able to move back but managed to still get wet.

"Fuck, that's cold!" Dabi exclaimed, shaking slightly.

"Don't underestimate me, Dabi!" You retorted, with the same smirk he had given you.

A chuckle escaped from within him, then it became louder turning into full laughter.

The bright light really suits him.

You tried to stifle your laugh but you couldn't help and join in. Holding your side, feeling alive for the first time in a while.

Throwing his head back he let out a loud yell still smiling away. Dabi started to run back and forth in the water creating little ripples from his movement.

Small jumps were seen in his footsteps. There was something about watching him, seeing how free he felt. You knew he had done bad things to innocent people, if someone else had come across him they'd have called the cops without hesitation.

Villains were often at times misunderstood, they're used during their weakest moments for a personal agenda. People like Dabi deserve to get help, real help. You wondered what life would have been like for him if he had his family with him in those difficult times.

There was no way of rewinding the past all you could hope for is that he changes from now on.

"What the hell are you doing just standing there?" Dabi asked running his hand through his damped hair.

Your cheeks turned slightly red. "I-I was just seeing how much you were enjoying yourself."

"I thought you brought me here to enjoy the waves with me."

"I-I am!"

"Come on." He reached forward and took your hand. His hand was cold but you could still feel some warmth radiating from his skin.

You didn't know if after this moment you would ever see each other again.

"Okay." Chuckling you held back his hand, laughing as his strong grip pulled you towards inner part of the ocean.

As soon as the water reached the middle of his torso, he dived in. You did your best to keep afloat due to your smaller height.

A few seconds later he appeared again, "You need to see this."

"What is it?"

"It's beautiful." He went back under the water and you followed closely behind.

Dabi was right.

The view from here was much breathtaking than the one at the surface. You could see the fishes swimming nearby along with a shark that seemed to be disinterested you two. He couldn't take his eyes off of the scenery and you were glad.

Because your eyes wandered over to him, suddenly he became the scenery that grabbed your attention the most.

He looked over at you, sending you a smile.

Maybe after today you two might be strangers again but for now all you wanted was for the sun to slow down its course to spend more time with him.

Worry lines stretched on your forehead as you tried to calm down your son's fever. Your eyes kept looking back and forth at the clock seeing it change so quickly.

"It's okay, sweetie. Everything is going to be okay." You smiled weakly, your son looked at you with sad eyes.

You didn't know if you were trying to reassure him or yourself. It didn't make it easier knowing Shoto wouldn't answer your calls or texts. 

As the minutes passed by your son's fever kept soaring higher. You became frustrated knowing he wasn't checking his phone knowing your son was sick.

Your phone then rang, a sigh of relief escaped from you. Quickly you answered it not giving him time to even speak.

"Shoto, I've been calling you and texting you for hours now-"

"I'm sorry, Y/n." He said. "It's actually me, Izuku."

"Oh..." Disappointment settled in. 

"I-I'm sorry I thought you were Shoto."

"Did you need him for something?" Izuku asked. "Can I help you with anything?"

"Do you know where he is?"

"He got assigned to a mission not too long ago." He answered. "Endeavor asked him for his help to rescue some civilians."

"Are you serious?" You mumbled, anger was bubbling inside of you. "God... of course he would..."

"Is something the matter?"

"I-I don't want to bother you-"

"Hey," he said softly. "I told you if you ever need anything to not hesitate on telling me."

A sigh escaped from your lips, carefully you carried your son out of the crib. "I need to go to the hospital, it's an emergency."

Izuku quickly stood up from his chair, he began to worry. "What's the matter? Are you okay?-"

"I'm fine." You answered grabbing the baby bag and covering your son in enough layers to shield him from the cold. "It's Koji..."

He grabbed his keys from the nightstand. "What's wrong with Koji?"

"He's had a fever since a while ago and is breathing unevenly." You answered. "I've tried to calm his fever but it won't go down. I'm worried..."

"Everything is going to be okay. I'm on my way." He said.

"T-thank you, Izuku. I owe you one."

He walked out of his house and jogged to his car. "Don't worry, all that matters is that he gets better."

While you waited for Izuku at the front entrance, you tried calling Shoto one more time. "Come on..." You mumbled carrying your son close to you. "Pick up, Shoto."

It kept going to voicemail, you wanted to throw your phone against the wall in anger but you had to calm down.

After a few minutes or so Izuku arrived. You quickly got in and drove to the hospital. Luckily it wasn't too far away from your home and were able to get him there soon.

"Excuse me, miss." You said rushing to the front desk at the emergency room.

"Yes, what can I help you with?" The nurse asked.

"My son has a high fever and is breathing unevenly." You desperately said,"I tried to bring his fever down but nothing has been working. Please you have to help him."

You felt distressed hearing your son crying, the thought of Shoto not being present seemed so far away now. 

The nurse nodded and she immediately went over to your side and used the stethoscope to check on his breathing. She looked at you both, "He is having trouble breathing we need to get him on a bed soon.

"Will a doctor be here to see what might be the problem?" Izuku asked.

She nodded, "A doctor is on the way, don't you worry. Your baby will be just fine, he's in good hands."

You felt reassured at least for now. The both of you followed the nurse to an empty pediatric bed and stood aside as she along with another male nurse hooked him up to the machines.

Izuku rubbed your back gently in circles trying to comfort you.

"I don't know why he hasn't seen the messages." You said.

"If you want I'll try calling him."

You shook your head. "There's no use... I told called him so many times..."

He looked at you with sad eyes, he couldn't believe that his friend never bothered looking at his phone. It kept going off while they were together at the office. He didn't understand why he couldn't bother answering his phone.

"Have you eaten?"

"I haven't had time to eat since he first got the fever." You crossed your arms in front of your chest. "I'm not even hungry at all."

"You gotta at least have something, I know Koji wouldn't want his mom to get sick too."

"Okay," you said. "But I'll go after the doctor comes and sees him."

"Why don't I go and get us some food? That way you'll eat and be by his side."

You turned your head to look at him. "Thank you Izuku, really. Y-you don't know how much it means that you're here for us."

He smiled softly looking at you in the eyes. "You don't have to thank me."

Smiling back you nodded. "Still, thank you."

Gently he gave your shoulder a soft squeeze and left you alone with Koji to grab some food.

As soon as Izuku had enough distance between you two, he decided to call Shoto again.

"Koji needs you, Shoto." He even got frustrated himself seeing as his friend wasn't answering his calls.

After a few rings by some miracle he was finally able to answer.

"Izuku, sorry until now I'm able to answer my phone-"

"I know you're busy helping with the rescue Shoto, but your family comes first." He stated. "Y/n has been trying to contact you for hours now."

"I saw the messages but until now I was able to leave. I told Endeavor and let me go right away.” 

“Why didn’t you do that to begin with?” Izuku clenched his jaw. “She called you an hour before you were sent on that mission. I saw the messages she sent you, I was there when they kept coming in and I even asked you about it-” 

“How’s Koji doing?” Shoto asked ignoring the words he had told him. 

He sighed rubbing his temple, ”We just brought him to the hospital not too long ago. He has a high fever and we don’t know what’s wrong, I stepped out to get Y/n some food since she hasn’t eaten.” 

“I told her to eat... she’s always forgetting. One day she’s going to end up passing out if she keeps skipping her meals.” 

“Shoto, right now isn’t the time to focus on that.” He stated “Are you coming to be with your wife and son or not?” 

“I’m on my way, I should be there soon.” 

“Good and when you get here make sure to act like the father that Koji deserves for once.” 

“Izuku-” 

He ended the call not wanting to hear his poor excuses and walked towards the cafeteria. 

It had been an hour or so, the doctor had checked up on him and thankfully it wasn’t anything serious. All you wanted was to take Koji back home, to hold him in your arms without being hooked up to the machines. 

“You’re so strong sweetie,” you weakly smiled as you held his tiny hand in yours. “I know you’re going to get through this.” Leaning over you kissed his forehead, a small smile formed on his lips. 

“Y/n?!” A loud voice yelled. 

You turned your head and saw Shoto standing at the front desk. A sigh escaped from your lips, slowly you got up from the chair and walked over. 

“Sir, I need you to calm down first-” 

“My son Koji Todoroki was brought here with a fever, I need to know if he’s okay.” Shoto worriedly spoke. 

“Shoto.” You sternly spoke, standing in front of him. “You can’t barge in here and make a scene.” 

“I-I’m sorry...” He said to the nurse, she nodded and walked away giving you both space to talk. “I got worried when I read the messages-” 

“Koji is going to be okay,” crossing your arms in front of your chest you continued. “Thankfully he was just starting to get an infection from the cold... with the medicine they are giving him he will be okay.” 

Shoto breathed out a sigh of relief. “Oh thank god...” 

“Can I see him?” 

You motioned to where your son was, he walked towards his bed with you following behind. 

Carefully he held onto Koji’s hand, a sad smile formed on his lips. “I’m so glad that you’re okay.” 

Sudden anger rose within you. 

Shoto was the father of your son, the one you both decided to have together even though you were too young. 

Still, he always put him second when it came to being a hero. Every time he got sick he wouldn’t focus on his son and be there for him. Work always became his main priority over his own health and his son’s. 

It was tiring having to always deal with the problems and solving them all by yourself. He never once bothered with accompanying you two to the doctor or staying to help you to get rest whenever you stayed up watching over him. 

You were fed up, your son deserved for his father to be there by his side not just when he was too sick to move. 

“Why do you care when it’s always too late?” you questioned him. “Does Koji have to be so sick for you just to be with him?” 

He narrowed his eyes looking at you. “What are you talking about? He’s my son I care about his well being-” 

“Oh come on,” your eyesight became blurry. “You never once have taken him to the doctor whenever he became ill. Every time I tell you it’s like it bothers you or ruins your plans for the day.” 

“I’m a hero, Y/n.” Shoto said. “It’s my job to go and rescue people, fight villains. I can’t just stop doing it sometimes other people need my help when they’re in trouble.” 

“And your son doesn’t?” Slowly your tears started to escape from your eyes. “Or me?” You said pointing to yourself. 

Looking away he spoke, “You knew since the moment we got together and had our son what my relationship with my father had been like. I can’t change so suddenly and be the perfect dad for him.” 

“A-and I never once told you to be, Shoto.” Your voice cracked, sniffling you tried to keep talking. “I’ve told you since the beginning and I’ll say it again... you are not your father. And I don’t expect you to have it all together and be perfect because that doesn’t exist. No father or mother know the first thing about being a parent... but they try to be there for them. They make sure to talk and spend any time they can with their child.”

“I’m trying to do just that, Y/n-” 

“You’re not.” You wiped your tears with the back of your hand, breathing heavily. “Because it doesn’t seem like you even wanted to be in the first place.” 

“I love being with Koji and you.” He looked at you with hurt eyes. “I never pictured myself having a family so young but I did. And I don’t regret it, not once. You two are the most important people in my life.” 

It was difficult to believe him, he said it with so much meaning but his actions always said otherwise. All you wanted was to trust what he said, to actually feel like you could believe him. 

“If you really think that... then change,” you breathed out trying to calm yourself down. “Be there for your son at least, show him you care before he gets older and sees that his father never cared.” 

“I promise,” he said stepping closer to you. “I will be there from now on for you and him.” His arm extended towards you to pull you into a hug but you stopped him. 

“Don’t worry about me... I’ve been fine on my own since he was born.” 

He shook his head, “You never should have dealt with everything on your own. We are both of his parents not just one, I’m sorry I wasn’t there when you needed me and had to confide in someone else to help and support you.” 

“You can apologize all you want but that’s not going to erase all the things I had to deal with on my own.” 

Looking down at the floor he mumbled. “I understand...” 

“But you’ve accepted what you have done wrong, I’m sure Koji will be happy.” 

“I’ll make sure he can be proud of his dad,” he lifted his head and looked at you. “And that you can have a husband you can be proud of too.” 

“Mrs. and Mr. Todoroki.” A nurse called out to you both. 

You both walked towards her, “How is Koji doing?” Shoto asked as he rested his hand on your shoulder in comfort. 

“He’s doing good, responding to the treatment.” She said smiling softly at you both. “Koji should be able to go home soon.” 

A smile broke out on you both. Without thinking he pulled you into a hug, he was about to pull away and apologize, when you hugged him back as well taking him by surprise. 

There was a issue of trust but once you felt his arms around you again, you felt safe. You felt at home. 

Shoto smiled softly, resting his head on top of yours. 

“Will he be staying for a week?” He asked. 

“It will most likely be less than that but we will make sure to monitor and see to be sure there won’t be any infection coming back.” 

“Okay, thank you so much.” You said. 

She shook her head, “We’re glad to see that he’s going to be okay.” The nurse then excused herself and left to go see another patient. 

Shoto walked over to your son’s side, with a content smile knowing he would be okay. A little part of you felt better, relieved even, knowing Koji is getting better but also that Shoto opened his eyes to see what he did wrong. 

You were about to join him when the nurse from earlier walked over to you with a paper bag. 

“The gentlemen that came in earlier with you left this.” 

“Oh thank you.” You took the bag from her and opened it up, seeing the food that Izuku had gotten for you. 

Stepping a bit far away from Shoto you decided to call Izuku. 

“Y/n, hey.” Izuku smiled, “How is Koji doing?” 

“He’s going to be okay.” You explained, “The doctor said that the infection isn’t as serious and we were lucky to have brought him in.” 

He sighed in relief, “I’m so glad to hear that.” 

“I wanted to thank you for the food you brought me.” 

A slight blush covered his cheeks. “I-it’s nothing, I wanted to make sure you were okay. It’s important to take care of yourself too.” 

“R-right,” You chuckled lightly. “I really appreciate your help and if it hadn’t been for you Koji would probably wouldn’t be alive right now or he would have been more sick.” 

“Don’t worry about that okay? Everything is alright now.” He said, “Plus... I’m here like I told you. I’m just a call away.” 

“I’m really glad we’re friends Izuku.” 

He smiled small as he looked at the photo of you and him on the nightstand. “Me too.” 

Shoto played with his son’s fingers making him giggle. He looked around trying to find you when he saw you talking on the phone, holding a bag. “I’ll be right back, sweetie.”

Kissing his forehead, he walked over to you but stopped as he heard you talking. 

“Yeah, me too Izuku.” You smiled slightly. “I’ll let him know... no yeah,” you chuckled. “Thank you again, Izuku.” 

He touched his chest, feeling that sensation again when Izuku had called him about you. Was he getting jealous about his friend and wife?

You ended the call and turned to walk back towards Koji’s bed when you saw Shoto standing there. 

“Hey...” 

“Koji wanted to see you, he was asking about you.” He slightly smiled, burying his thoughts into the back of his head. 

“He did get that from his dad,” you smiled small walking over to him. 

Shoto then fell in step with you. “What can I say? Koji does have an amazing mom.”

“You see I never pretended to love you. I meant what I said when I told you those three words and eight letters because in my heart that’s what I felt for you!” You shouted as tears fell uncontrollably making your vision turn slightly blurry. 

“Well maybe you shouldn’t of have...” He leaned his lower body against his desk, looking at the ground. “You should have saved it for someone else instead.” 

Your eyes widened as your mouth gaped open in disbelief. “A-Are you serious... r-right now?...” 

Bakugo shrugged, still refusing to look you in the eye. “It wasn’t meant to happen... what we had was just a simple rush of attraction,” he continued. “That was what it was, you probably were the same since you’re in the stage of your body still developing and your hormones got the best of you-” 

“Now you’re just spilling out bullshit.” 

He sighed tiredly as if he wanted to be done with this conversation but his hands gripped the edge of the desk tightly. “Take it was you wish. I’m telling you the truth and if you have a hard time believing it then that’s on you not on me.” 

You swallowed down hard, clenching your jaw tightly. “I don’t believe you.” 

“Oh my god.” Bakugo muttered under his breath standing straight again. “Why are you being so stubborn?!” He raised his voice. 

“Because I know you!” You yelled back. “Since we met you never once had any ulterior motives. You were kind, even when you didn’t even trust me at all you were still there. The words you said to me had⎯ so much emotion behind them... so I refuse to believe that what we had meant nothing to you-” 

He looked you in the eyes for the first time. “Well it didn’t.” 

Staring back into his eyes, there was no emotion in them. Those red orbs that you loved seeing every day, weren’t the same ones you had fallen in love with. It was looking at the eyes of a stranger. 

“I used you.” Bakugo stated as he walked towards you. “I never gave a damn about a little girl like you alright?! It was just a bet I made with her, you were only a bet.” 

“You’re lying...” You whispered, moving your eyes back and forth as he stood in front of you leaving very little space between you. 

A dry chuckle escaped from within him. “Am I?” He questioned. “I must be a good actor then if I was able to trick you.” 

“How can you suddenly turn into someone so cold...” You said. “You would never hurt anyone that you care about. When Kirishima got into an accident you didn’t hesitate to be by his side.” 

“Because he’s a person I actually care about unlike you.” 

Little by little your heart was shattering by the amount of daggers he kept shooting at you. You didn’t know how much more damage you’d be able to take before he was able to destroy it completely. 

“T-then if I was only a bet why didn’t you end things earlier huh?!” You demanded, “Tell me!” 

Bakugo turned his back to you, he was so close to breaking. His mind was screaming at him to forget about it and stay with you. He was hating himself for the words that kept slipping out. 

“I was meaning to break up with you for a while...” He bit his lip trying to keep himself together. “But I wanted to see how you fell for me even more.” Bakugo blinked away the tears that were forming and faced you once again. “Then again I was feeling suffocated by being with you every day.” 

A cocky smile rested on his lips.

Moving your neck to the side, you breathed out with a slight smile. Your hands formed into tight fists. A tear rolled down your cheek and fell onto the floor. Your body began to tremble with anger and pain. All you wanted was to scream at him. 

“I went against what everyone said...” You sniffled. “I didn’t care about anyone else getting affected by it if it meant being by your side. You were my everything⎯ fuck Bakugo... fuck!” 

In that instant his eyes changed. His body moved to comfort you, to hold you in his arms once again but he couldn’t. 

“Is this how you care about people?” Pain was written all over your face. “You trick them into thinking you actually give a crap about them then toss them away once you get what you wanted?!” 

He stood quiet as he absorbed every insult you threw at him. 

You shook your head slightly as your eyes moved to the left before looking directly at him. “You know what? I don’t even know why the hell I’m even bothering with you when in the end you’re not going to remember what I say. You’re a scumbag and I feel sorry for whoever the hell had to come across and deal with you Bakugo.” 

“I’m pretty sure they feel grateful.” He smirked. 

“I gave you everything I had to offer, I loved you with all consequences that were attached when I decided to be with you.” You sighed. “But that didn’t matter to you to begin with. You didn’t care about meeting my family formally or wanting to talk with my dad about us. You were just putting on a show,” smiling sadly you stepped back from him. 

“And unfortunately I fell for every sweet word you told. I fell for it without giving it a second thought.” Biting your lip you took the necklace off from your neck, “This was just another act to add onto your show wasn’t it?” 

“I thought it was a nice touch to add.” 

You raised your elbow, with your fist closed tightly wanting to punch that smug look off of his face. “People like you deserve to be alone. You shouldn’t have the privilege to love anyone or for anyone to get close to you. Because all you do in the end is hurt them when all they were doing was caring about you.” 

Holding the necklace in your hand, you tossed it onto his desk. “I may have been another victim in your game but at least I have a clean conscious. I hope one day someone with a sinnister mind like you comes along and turns the game around to hurt you in the end. Maybe then you’ll understand the hole that is now left inside of me.” 

You took one last look at him trying to remember the person you had fallen in love with. But all you saw was a stranger, one that you hope you’d never get to meet again. 

As you walked away, Bakugo looked at the ground. His eyes glossy with the tears he had been holding back since he started saying those vile words to you. In the end he not only broke you process but also himself. 

“Oh by the way.” You stopped in the doorway, looking at him. Bakugo lifted his head to see your teary eyes. “I guess you were right about Todoroki... maybe I should have chosen him instead when I had the chance. He’d probably would have treated me better than you ever did.” 

Quickly you walked out trying to get away from him as soon as possible. As turned the corner you bumped into someone. “Sorry.” You mumbled and continued to walk but they held on your wrist, stopping you. 

“What happened?”

Looking up you saw Daichi standing there, looking at you with worry in his eyes. 

“It’s over.” You whispered. “We’re done.” 

“Y/n...” He pulled you into his chest, holding the back of your head gently. One of his arms were wrapped around your waist tightly. 

An enormous amount of loud sobs escaped from within you. Your hands held onto his shirt tightly, clinging onto him for dear life. 

Bakugo wiped away the tears that escaped. 

“Are you happy now?” He loudly spoke. 

The figure that hid behind the tall file cabinet stepped out. “I am.” She said walking over to him. “Don’t be sad, Katsuki.” Her hands held his face gently, looking him in the eyes. “I promise that the memories you had with her will be gone and they’ll be replaced with ours instead.” 

“I’ll never be with you-” 

“You have to.” She looked at him coldly. “Or else your little Y/n will be expelled and I’ll make sure everyone at school knows about your secret relationship,” she threatened. “I can already see it. Her being humiliated in front of the whole school-” 

“You promised you would delete those photos-”

“I will.” She sweetly smiled at him, “As long as you hold your end of the bargain.” 

He needed to protect you, even if it meant you resenting him in the end.

Hello! I loved all your works they're just too good and I missed reading angst and fluff since there's not much of them these days anymore. I was wondering if I could request one of Midoriya where he sees her spending more time with Todoroki due to a project for class but since he ends up getting jealous he forgets about it. Thank you you can add as much angst too and fluff if you'd like!

hi thanks for the request! i'm sorry this took so long but i really hope you enjoy it <3

Jealousy, Jealousy

Izuku Midoriya x fem! reader

Warnings: jealous midoriya

Summary: Izuku knows that Y/n likes him and he knows that Todoroki is his friend...So why must he feel so jealous when they're chosen as partners for a project together?

Word count: 1.2k

POV: 3rd person

Something about this project didn't sit right with Izuku. It wasn't the project itself, but rather the pairings for the project. He didn't mind his partner, in fact he considered Sato to be a friend. So what exactly was it that was bothering him?

"L/n and Todoroki, you'll be partners for the project." Mr. Aizawa's words shouted in Izuku's mind.

Yeah. That's what bothered him.

Why am I feeling this way? Todoroki is my friend. He knows how I feel about Y/n. Why won't this feeling go away? The green-haired boy asked himself.

The sound of Y/n's laugh snapped him out of his jealous thoughts as he turned to look at her. He couldn't make out what she and Todoroki were talking about, but they were both smiling.

Izuku's stomach was in knots. Why are you feeling this way?! He screamed in his head.

No matter how hard he tried to change his mindset, that horrible feeling lingered. It was just a stupid project. Why did his emotions have to get the better of him?

"Hey, uh, Midoriya? You good? You're looking a little uncomfortable." Sato stared at his freckled friend, concern as clear as day on his face.

Izuku smiled nervously. "I-I'm good! Yeah, sorry! Just thinking hard about this project!" He laughed it off.

That nagging feeling didn't exactly go away, but after talking about the project with Sato for a bit, it slowly got buried in the back of Izuku's head, and before he knew it, the school day was over.

Y/n waved to Todoroki before running up to Izuku, a smile on her face.

"Boo." She exclaimed, nudging his side.

He didn't give a reaction, instead settled for a slight nod. Y/n furrowed her brows together in confusion, her smile dropping a bit.

"Everything okay?" She asked.

The feeling came back along with a wave of frustration, and no matter how badly he didn't want to be frustrated at her, he couldn't help it.

"Look, why don't you just walk home with Todoroki today? He's your partner for the project isn't he?" Izuku muttered, eyes glued to the pavement beneath him. Y/n's smile fell completely.

"Izuku..." She didn't know what to say. She was bewildered, to say the least. He sounded so unhappy and that was nothing like Izuku Midoriya.

The boy sighed and stopped walking. "I'm serious, Y/n. I just want to walk by myself today...Is that okay with you?" Even though he asked, he sounded so dry as he said it.

The girl swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat as she stared down at her shoes, nodding reluctantly. "Y-Yeah...See you later?" She stuttered.

Izuku hated that he was the one making her feel awful, but he really just needed to overcome his jealousy on his own. So without another word, he walked off, his chest aching at the confused and hurt girl he left behind.

Y/n looked up, hoping to see the happy boy she knew and adored, yet all she saw was him walking away. Tears stung her eyes until she felt something on her shoulder. She looked to see Todoroki resting his hand on her shoulder, a sympathetic expression on his face. "I overheard. Did something happen?" He asked.

"I...I don't know..," Y/n only grew more confused and it frustrated her. Surely Izuku knew he could talk to her...right?

Todoroki offered her an apologetic smile, to which she returned a weak one, before the two friends walked off towards the dorms together.

The rest of the day seemed to drag on. Izuku locked himself in his room until dinnertime when a few of his classmates came knocking on his door. He reluctantly left his room and made his way towards the dining area, something he would quickly regret.

Meanwhile, Y/n and Todoroki had been sitting on the couch working some more on their project. She was smiling, but her mind was elsewhere, still filled with confusion and concern for a certain green-haired boy.

Izuku walked into the common room, his eyes immediately falling on the two on the couch. Once again, the girl he adored so much, laughing with another boy. The anger resurfaced and it burned within him. Y/n turned her head, her eyes meeting his. Her smile dropped as she saw his face. "Izuku?" She called in a soft voice. Todoroki turned his head to his friend. "Hey Midoriya," He greeted.

Instead of saying anything, his eyes turned downwards and he turned around and walked off.

Y/n's mouth parted slightly in disbelief and watched as he walked off. Todoroki frowned and turned to her. "Y/n..," He trailed off. Shaking her head, she stood up and began walking towards where Izuku disappeared to. "Y/n?" Todoroki called.

"Enough's enough." Was all she said before disappearing herself.

Izuku had angry tears in his eyes. He hated how jealous he felt when he knew deep down that there was really nothing to be jealous of. He couldn't help the way he felt, though.

"Izuku!" He heard her voice, but he didn't turn around. He heard her catch up to him, so he stopped walking. "A-Aren't you joining us for dinner?" She asked, a hint of sadness in her voice. "I'm not hungry," He muttered, beginning to walk again.

"Izuku, please talk to me. I can tell something is wrong and it's really hurting you," She reluctantly reached out and touched his arm. He tensed at first but eased into her touch. "I can try to help you, but only if you tell me what's going on," She added.

Sighing, he turned around and met her eyes. "I'm being stupid," He admitted.

"Hey, don't say that. Anything negative you're feeling isn't stupid. Don't invalidate your emotions," She told him, raising her hand to cup his cheek.

He looked down, feeling embarrassed all of a sudden. "It's just..," He started. Y/n nodded for him to continue, reassuring him that it was okay. "For some reason, seeing you with Todoroki has been making me feel angry...And maybe a little sad," He finally admitted.

Y/n's eyebrows furrowed, realizing why he was so cold today. "Izuku...Are you jealous?" She asked softly.

"Are you angry?" He questioned, looking into her eyes. She shook her head quickly. "No, no, of course not," She spoke, pulling him into a hug. He wrapped his arms around her tightly, sighing into her embrace.

Pulling away, Y/n placed both her hands on his cheeks. "I'm sorry we made you feel this way. But I promise you, it's just a project. Todoroki is just my friend, okay? You're the one I like and wanna be with," She reassured, thumbs caressing his skin.

And just like that, Izuku felt the aching weight leave his shoulders and felt the relief run through him. He smiled lightly at her and connected his forehead to hers. "I'm sorry I treated you the way I did," He apologized.

"Hey, don't worry about that now. We all do silly things when we're upset," She replied.

Izuku smiled, no longer feeling angry or upset. Now that he had clarity, he didn't understand why he felt the way he did to begin with. He knew now that he never had a reason to be jealous or doubt Y/n. Instead, he knew he was incredibly lucky that he was the one that got to be with her. He'd never doubt her feelings for him again.  

A/n: Once again, I'm sorry this took so long but I hope you enjoyed it! Also keep requesting stuff, I enjoy getting them and writing them. Also do you guys like 2nd person povs or 3rd person povs better? I just thought I'd try something new <3

The sound of the loud alarm could be heard echoing in the room, while the rays of the sun made seeped their way in through the crack of the blinds on the windows.

Enji slowly opened his eyes but laid still not turning the ringing off. A sigh escaped his lips as he looked over to his right side and saw you were still in a deep sleep.

Reaching over the nightstand he shut the alarm off, making sure it wouldn't end up waking you up even though he himself wasn't really awake yet.

It was another day, same routine, same distant relationship, another day where he wouldn't be able to hold you like he used to.

While he was in his mind you woke up, rubbing the sleepiness out of your eyes. The light coming in made you squint your eyes, slowly you sat up on the bed.

He did the same, not being able to help himself by looking back at you and seeing the way your messy hair looked like in the morning. No matter how much you used to whine about it not looking normal, to him it was the one of the things he loved the most about you.

It was his favorite times in the morning where the two of you could be vulnerable with one another, with all your flaws.

"I didn't realize you had woken up." You spoke, getting up from the bed and sliding your feet into your slippers.

Enji slightly blushed feeling the dip on the bed loosen as you stood up. "I- uh just woke up myself. I thought you might want to sleep in since you came home late last night."

"I can't today."

"I'm sure if you call in they wouldn't mind letting you stay home today." He got up following you to the bathroom. "I'm worried you haven't gotten enough sleep these days-"

"I can't." You repeated as you got ready for work. "I have a meeting today."

He knew things between you two weren't okay- well haven't been for a while now. Still, he was worried about your well being. As much as he loved you having the career you wanted, it also stressed him seeing how tired and over work you often came back home.

"I don't mean this in a bad way," he said knowing it might make you upset but you had to know. "Lately you haven't had as much energy ever since you got promoted, I understand your work is important but you need to rest."

"I'll rest once the important project is done." You stated, washing your face. "Until then I can't waste time on resting."

Leaning against the doorway he looked at you, worry in his eyes. "Y/n... it's okay to want to put your all into the work you love but you can't burn yourself out-"

Yesterday was already hard on you, the last thing you wanted to deal with were his comment about you work. "No offence but you do the same whenever you come home late beaten and bruised up." Drying your face with the small towel on the rack, you looked at him. "You have no right to tell me what I'm doing is wrong when I've begged you to take care of yourself first a dozen times."

You walked passed not wanting to waste anymore time knowing you were already running late. A pair of footsteps could be heard from behind you, it's like he was following you around like a lost puppy.

"At least let me make you something to eat then." He insisted. "I can whip you up something you like, remember when I used to make you (favorite food) all the time?"

Your patience was really running thin with everything, you knew he meant well but even you found it quite out of character lately since you both only talked with one another when it was about work and nothing else.

After putting your scarf on you grabbed your bag, getting ready to head out. "That's okay, I can just grab something on my way to the agency." Quickly you walked out of your shared bedroom and to the door to put your shoes on.

"Well then how about dinner later?" He suggested as he followed you once again. "I can make a quick reservation at the restaurant we used to go to often or that ramen place that's around the corner-"

"Enji." You spoke turning to look at him, "Why are you suddenly trying to act like how things used to be? You- we've had months to fix things but we never did."

Rubbing the back of his neck, a sigh escaped. "Because..."

You waited, wishing, hoping that he'd elaborate on his reason, to explain as to why he wanted to fix things but he never did. Shaking your head you placed your hand on the doorknob, as your back turned to face him you spoke.

"You can't keep doing this... wanting to suddenly try to change things when you don't ever bother telling me why. It hurts... for once I wish you'd actually use your own words without me trying to figure it out by the tiny clues you try to give me."

Your eyes started to turn watery, sniffling you wiped away the tears that threatened to escape with your other hand. "If you won't change your ways... then I guess there won't ever be a chance for us to rescue what we once had."

He stepped forward, his hand reaching out to stop you but he froze. You were gone, making it too late for him to ever say what was on his mind.

"Morning, Endeavor." Kurumada said, smiling at him as he opened the door for his boss to get in.

"Morning." Enji mumbled as he got inside.

His morning felt so slow, after you had left, he realized how lonely the house was. Since he left his old house to his children and Rei, he never thought he would experience it all over again.

The thoughts that were running through his mind were derailing him into a spiral of sadness and loneliness. He didn't want to picture his life without you but he had to be realistic that maybe your relationship had run its course.

That maybe he was paying for all the things he did to his family.

"Am I not picking up, Mr. Hawks?" Kurumada asked. "Endeavor, sir?"

Enji was too wrapped up in his thoughts to acknowledge the question that was being asked.

Kurumada understood he needed time alone and continued driving to the agency in silence.

Upon arriving to his agency he saw his son Shoto arriving as well. Enji headed inside only giving him a small nod with no bickering or even a good morning, that would sometimes catch Shoto off guard.

"Did something happen?" Shoto asked Kurumada.

"Good morning young Todoroki," he said. "Actually I was going to ask you the same thing. Endeavor was quiet this morning."

"Did he not arrive here with Hawks?"

He shook his head. "I asked him but he didn't respond to my question. I haven't seen him this quiet since he left his old home."

Shoto thanked him and went inside following Enji. Although they had their difficulties it made him worry about what could possibly be going on with his father.

There was a knock at the door, Enji looked up. "Come in." He spoke.

The door opened to reveal Shoto, "Endeavor we got the info on those villains that blew up the cars."

"Okay." He said looking back down at the papers that were on his desk but didn't move a muscle to complete them.

Shoto noticed he wasn't moving at all like he usually did whenever a report or a notice about some villains came in. He was zoned out.

"Do you not want to go and talk to them yourself?"

He shook his head, "No it's fine. I'm sure someone else can attend to it."

There was something going on, it had been months since Enji has actually acted like himself. Shoto didn't want to butt into his business but sooner or later it was going to affect his work.

"I know it's not my business," Shoto said walking towards him and stood in front of his desk. "Your private life is yours, but did something happen between you and y/n?"

Enji sighed closing his eyes as he rested his head in his hands, elbows on his desk. "W-we're just-" he felt hesitant to say anything, but knew he had to talk to someone. "We've been distant to tell you the truth, things haven't been the same. I do not know how it began but before I was able to stop it, the distance grew... now I don't know what to do."

"Can I?" Shoto asked pointing at the chair.

"Sure."

He sat down looking directly at him. "Did it start when you had to stay overnight?"

"No..." Enji leaned back into his chair. "At least I don't think so... she was working long shifts as well that we barely had enough time to see one another."

"I'm not an expert but maybe both of you didn't have time for one another after being overworked. You said you'd get home at different times, it's normal to be exhausted."

"I saw how tired she got home, barely had enough energy in her to shower let alone eat." He closed his eyes trying to think back to when was the last time you two spend any time together. "It pained me to see her so worn out, I didn't want to bug her or complain about not being able to have at least one meal together."

"I'm not trying to make you feel even more worse than you already but I gotta be honest," Enji opened his eyes, tilting his head forward to look at his son. "You're making the same mistake as you did with mom."

"What are you talking-"

"I'm talking about how you're ignoring the issue and pushing it under the rug. You're both waiting for one another to bring it up but too afraid to say anything." Shoto sighed, "The longer you wait to talk to her about how you're feeling... you'll only end up losing her. Y/n has been a great part of your life we can all tell how much she's helped and changed you. To be honest we are fond of her too so is mom so it would suck to lose her as well."

A small smile formed on his lips. "I'm happy to see that you guys had approved of her... it means a lot to hear that son."

Shoto looked away feeling embarrassed. "I-I uh know we've had our differences but... even so you deserve to be happy too."

It swelled his chest with happiness knowing that had his son's support. Not only that, but also that their relationship was changing slowly but surely for the better.

A call then came in interrupting their conversation. "Give me one sec." He said and pressed on the button letting the call come through.

"Yes?"

"Endeavor sir, a villain was reported terrorizing the city a few blocks away from the agency near Kozumi technology. We were asked to rush in."

"Kozumi technology?" Shoto asked. "Isn't that the place where Y/n works?"

"It is." He quickly answered back. "We're on our way send us the address."

Shoto followed Enji quickly out of his office, as he fixed his gear, worry ran through his mind. Hoping and silently praying that the villain didn't get anywhere near you.

"I think this will be the best approach." You said trying to block out the noise that was coming from waiting room's tv.

"It sure does sound like the better option, they asked for something different," your boss said smiling. "They're going to love it-"

"Endeavor you have been told that you're the last hero the citizen's trust," the reporter said. "Do you think they'll ever be able to trust you?"

"My duty is to protect each human life whether they see me as a number one hero or not," he answered. "I am here to make sure villains do not torment the city or cause fear. I will make sure to show them that they can trust me, I hope one day they do accept me as the next number one hero."

"Are you saying that you care about the public's opinion? When just a few months ago you said you could care less about what they thought about you."

"Alright you're dismissed, thank you for your hard work." He said.

"Thank you sir." You answered and quickly walked out of the office, stopping at the tv on the way to your invention room.

It was visible to see how nervous and stressed he was due to the reporters lack of empathy. She knew what she was doing, trying to make him look as the bad guy by any means necessary.

"How can the public trust anything you're saying when we saw and heard that one of the most notorious wanted criminal, Dabi, said you were his father." She shoved the microphone closer to his face, making him stagger back. "Are you going to do everything to make sure he doesn't go to jail?"

Enji's eyes downcasted, "No... Dabi committed many crimes even though it hurts me to see my own son being punished it's something that must happen."

"Is it true that you were the cause behind his behavior?" She slightly smirked. "If a hero hurts his own family too, the innocent people have a right to feel afraid of someone like yourself-"

You clenched your jaw tightly, hands turning into fists. Your eyes quickly scanned the tv trying to find the location of where it was taking place. Luckily a message was sent to you about his whereabouts.

"Good," you mumbled seeing the interview was taking place down the street. Quickly you ran out of the building, not excusing yourself as you bumped into people. Your anger had risen, yes your relationship wasn't the same as it used to but you still loved him. No one else knew what you did, all the stuff he went through that fateful day when he found out about his existence. It wasn't fair to him to get treated as if he wasn't a human being with emotions.

When you had arrived the crowd had grown, some people were shouting for his defence while others stayed silent listening her speak.

"-aren't you the same reason as to why Rei Todoroki had to be sent to the hospital because you labeled your children's mother as a threat to their safety?"

You were beyond furious now. As you marched towards her people took a step back feeling the irritability radiating off of you. Your hand quickly connected with her cheek, stopping her from saying anything else.

The crowd became silent.

Enji was too shocked to say anything, he didn't know if it was because you showed up or that you slapped her in front of live tv.

You could feel the stinging sensation on your hand, but you didn't care. The reporter however held her cheek tightly, staring at you in shock. A bruise starting to form around her red skin.

"What the hell is your problem?!" You shouted.

"My problem?" She questioned looking at you as if you were crazy. "You're the one that just slapped me?!"

"You're seriously going to make yourself the victim? After all the bullshit you've thrown at him?" Staring at her down you continued. "Since the interview started you've done nothing but berate him in front of live TV for your pleasure. You never even once stopped to think about what he has been through!"

"Why should I?!" She retorted. "Endeavor is the most selfish, egotistical, bastard hero that has ever lived. He's never cared about his fans or those around him! It's my job to speak out the truth because others care too much about their reputation to do so."

"That's going to make you likeable?" You asked. "Do you think people who watch your show actually like you? The only thought that runs through their mind is seeing how much of a loud mouth, bitch you are."

Her eyes widened. "What did you just call me-"

"You heard me!" You exclaimed. "You make it seem as if no one can make mistakes these days. Every single hero you've interviewed you brought them down. Not once have you had anything good to say about them or the amazing hero work they've done. And I'm sick of it."

She stepped forward moving her hair to side. "If you hate it so much then why don't you go complain to my higher ups?"

"Oh trust me," you closed the gap between you two, glaring at her. "I'm planning on making sure this little show stops."

"Why do you even care about him?" She pointed at Enji, looking at him. "He's the worst possible person to hold the number one title."

Your face flushed a bright red, you could feel your heart racing faster. Standing tall, you stepped back looking at everyone around you. You walked over to Enji, standing beside him.

"Because I've seen how he's put himself back together after all the tragedies that have stuck." You spoke. "After fighting that flying nomu he didn't stop to rest afterwards, he cooperated with the police to find a way to stop them from attacking the city. He visited the people who were affected by that monster."

Turning your head to the side, you tilted your head up to look at him. To really take a good at him, for the first time since you two became distant.

"Yes he wasn't the best hero even before he was given the number one spot," you smiled small at him. "But nobody is perfect. Endeavor has struggled to make himself a better person and evolve but I've seen it first hand. He's worked hard none stop to make change and put an end to the league of villains. I know the difference that he can make, he's the hero who can do it." Putting your pride aside you reached out and held his hand lovingly. "So I ask that we give him the chance to prove himself and for him to show us what he's all about. Endeavor deserves it just like anyone else deserves a second chance."

Enji looked at you with such love in his eyes, he was taken back by your actions but it only made him fall in love with you all over again. He forgot how warm your skin always felt, compared to his, no matter what the weather was like. He missed having you close to him, holding you during cold nights. Or when you would let him lay his head on your chest when he came home tired. He missed everything about you.

"Thank you for being here for me." He softly spoke.

You blushed looking down at your intertwined hands. "I-I couldn't let her speak about you like that... it wasn't right."

"I'm so sorry about how I've acted..." he sighed taking a hold of your other hand. "I shouldn't have let the distance grow between us."

"It was both our faults, don't blame only yourself." You said. "I should have sat down with you and talked like the adults we are. I'm sorry for not putting effort either especially this morning... I know you meant well."

Enji closed the distance between you both. "I promise from now on things are going to be different." He slowly leaned in, forgetting about the crowd that was still surrounding you two. He waited to see if there was any hesitation on your part, seeing there was none he continued.

You closed your eyes, feeling the light stubble he had grown on his face. You even stopped breathing as he got closer.

Your lips then connected together, even though it was the first time, the kiss felt magical. His lips were a lot softer than they had appeared to be. You missed him. The kiss just confirmed that the love you once had was still there waiting for it to escape to the surface again.

A smile formed on his lips making you chuckle. You both stood close kissing each other away, not even listening to the cheers and awes that erupted around you two.

Everything felt just as how it's supposed to be.

After a minute or so you both pulled away, mirroring each other's grinning faces. Enji pulled you into his chest as you hid your blushing face.

"I love you beautiful." He whispered into your ear.

You smiled resting the side of your face on his chest, hearing his heart beating fast.

"I love you too."

"I'm so excited to go to the training camp!" You exclaimed as you helped collect the volleyballs from the ground.

"Me too!" Hinata widely smiled, "We're going to be training with power houses!"

You nodded chuckling. "I bet you're that excited to train all day until night time."

"I am, it's an amazing chance to get better," his smile slowly disappeared. "I want to find a way to fight on my own, the ball can get tossed to me but I'm the one who has to get the point."

"Hey, you will." You assured him. "I know Kageyama feels the same way even though you two might not be talking as much, he's been training as well."

He spoke looking at you. "I know Kageyama has what it takes to improve too, I'm anxious to see what he does."

"Hinata come help me with the net!" Tanaka yelled out.

"Coming!" Hinata tossed the ball he had picked up into the basket.

Sugawara smiled as he walked over to you. "I see you have gotten along well with the first years."

You blushed slightly. "Well it's hard not to like them, they have a bunch of energy and also are really inspiring in many ways. Although Tsukishima doesn't talk as much I'm glad he at least tolerates me."

"I don't doubt that," he said crossing his arms in front of his chest. "Tsukishima usually isn't that talkative with the rest of the guys but with you he looks like he's actually nice."

"He is, sometimes he has his moments but he's been respectful to me and the girls."

"I'm glad to hear that." Sugawara leaned in and pecked your lips. "I'm happy you're able to tag along with us to the training camp."

"Me too luckily I was able to set everything and get time off to go."

"I know the coach will appreciate your help but I hope it won't cause too big of a problem with your boss-"

"Don't worry about that, she's understanding so it was taken care of." You smiled.

"Alright," he chuckled. "I'll come by and pick you up at 5?"

"Sure I'd like that!"

"Suga we're all happy you have a girlfriend but could you please lend a hand?" Daichi spoke. "Y/n isn't even part of the club and she's helping out more than you."

You stifled your laugh as Sugawara tried to say something but Daichi wasn't having it.

"Go, the sooner we finish the sooner you lovebirds can have have each other again." He sternly said.

Sugawara sighed dramatically and followed him towards the equipment that was on the floor but he didn't miss to turn around and shooting you a quick smile with an air kiss.

"I love you, beautiful." He mouthed not hiding the wide smile he still had on his face.

You shook your head as you went back to finish picking up the rest of the balls.

The drive to the training camp was longer than you had expected it to be. During the ride you tried to sleep or talk to the girls to entertain yourself and each other. But it didn't last long since they both ended up falling asleep too.

As you walked down the steps with Suga behind you, you heard both Tanaka and Nishinoya yell.

"The sky tree!"

"Actually that's just an old steel tower." One of the Nekoma volleyball players said. Earning a big old laugh from one of the taller players.

Kageyama even looked disappointed to say the least.

You walked along Suga who was walking next to Daichi and the tall player from before.

"Oh that's right you two haven't met right?" Suga said, you shook your head.

"Huh, who's this? Did you guys get another club member?" He asked.

"No, this is Y/n L/n, Y/n this is Kuroo Tetsuro, he's Nekoma's captain." Daichi answered.

"She's my girlfriend." Sugawara smiled proudly.

"Wait, really?" Kuroo asked in disbelief.

Chuckling lightly you nodded, holding onto Suga's hand. "I am, it's nice to meet you."

Kuroo smirked slightly as he looked at you. "Well well, I gotta say she's one heck of a beautiful girl."

"Oh- t-thank you." You shyly said.

"Hey!" Sugawara exclaimed looking at Kuroo. "No flirting with my girlfriend."

"Hey, it's not my fault. Don't be surprised if the first years or other players end up having a crush on her."

"Well I'll just make sure to let them know." He glared looking forward at the first years that were coming out of the building to greet them.

You gave his hand a gentle squeeze making his growl to slightly disappear. "You have nothing to worry about, you know that right?"

Suga sighed, "I know... still."

Seeing he was still upset you leaned into his side and wrapped your arm around his waist instead, nuzzling your face into the crook of his neck. "I love you only."

He couldn't help but smile as he felt your touch. "I love when you do this." Suga mumbled.

The two of you walked with the rest of the team together to settle down and get changed. Afterwards you walked towards the gym where coach Ukai and Mr. Takeda were setting things up for the team. Kiyoko and Yachi showed up soon afterwards to help finish.

You on the other hand walked towards the fountain that was outside and filled up the water bottles for them. Everyone was so busy as the games were starting so you knew the least you could was help with something.

"Y/n?"

"Hm?" You turned your head to the left to see someone standing there.

"Are you, Y/n?"

Your eyes narrowed at them trying to remember who they were. Then their name clicked into your mind.

"Akaashi?"

A small smile formed in his lips as he approached you. "I didn't think I'd see you again."

"Me either, I haven't seen you since middle school."

"I'm glad though," he said. "What school did you come here with?"

"Oh I'm here with Karasuno, I'm not part of the club or anything." You said finishing up filling the rest of the water bottles. "I came to help out."

"Really? I'm surprised, I mean you usually always joined the art club each year."

You smiled small picking up the bottles to carry back. "My boyfriend is actually part of the team and he asked me if I could come along with him. Of course I asked Coach Ukai if that was okay."

"Here let me help." Akaashi said taking some of them out of your grip. "I see then, who's the lucky guy?" Although he was intrigued to know he also wished he hadn't ask knowing well whoever it was it would only hurt him.

"Thank you," you two got into the sync as you walked back together. "I'm actually dating Sugawara."

"I can see why, he's always trying to help out his teammates with practice. But also seems like a good back bone for the team apart from Sawamura."

"He's been trying really hard even if he doesn't get as many chances to play, he likes to try new things." You smiled happily. "Everything he does is just simply amazing."

"You really like him don't you?"

"I do," you continued. "I'm the lucky one who got a chance to be with him."

Akaashi silently admired you seeing how much you had changed these years. Every day he thought about how it would have been like to see you again. He almost forgot how much he liked everything about you. Now that the day finally came, it only made it harder for his crush to disappear.

"What about you?" You asked looking at him.

He slightly blushed, looking away. "W-what about me?"

"Is there anyone... you know that you like or have a crush on?"

"Not really," he answered looking at the ground. "I've been too busy with volleyball and entrance exams are starting soon as well, studying has been taking some of my time."

"I imagine dealing with a team and taking care of exam season isn't so easy huh?"

Akaashi smiled slightly. "Add Bokuto on top of that and it makes things harder sometimes."

"Oh right he's your guys team ace right? I heard Hinata talking about him a lot."

He nodded, "You'll most likely get a chance to meet him today, kinda hard to miss when he's the loudest in the team."

"Well that'll certainly be something go see then."

You both chuckled and continued talking as you made your back towards the gym.

"Hey, guys have you seen Y/n?" Coach Ukai asked as he approached the group.

Asahi looked around not seeing you. "No, not yet. Did you need her for something coach?"

"I did she said she had put my clipboard somewhere and I need it." He said. "I was wondering if she was back yet but I guess not."

"Y/n went to go fill up our water bottles she's probably on her way back." Nishinoya said stretching his legs.

"Look," Asahi said pointing towards you. "There she is."

"And with Fukurodani's setter?" Tanaka questioned, looking over his shoulder towards Sugawara. "Man Suga someone is already trying to steal your girl my dude!"

"Huh?" Sugawara walked over to where Tanaka stood. "What the hell are you talking about now?"

Tanaka only pointed at you as you stood next to Akaashi in the doorway, smiling.

"Is that Akaashi?" Daichi asked.

Suga didn't listen to his teammates all he could focus on was on you. Something tore inside his chest, that it was being replaced with jealousy and anger. But that anger wasn't slightly directed towards you, only him.

Daichi turned to look at his friend seeing his hand had turned into a fist. "Suga? Are you okay?"

You both then bid each other goodbye, you walked away smiling. Akaashi on the other hand his gaze had lingered longer on you when you turned your back to him.

"Hey! Sorry I took so long, guys." You spoke placing the bottles down.

"It's alright, hey do you have my clip board by any chance?" Coach Ukai asked.

"Yeah one sec," you answered going through your bag that was on the floor and handed it over to him.

"Thanks, alright let's get that practice game started you guys." He announced.

Everyone walked towards the bench except Sugawara.

"Koshi?" You called out towards him. "Is everything alright?"

He snapped out of his thoughts and ignored your question as he followed the rest of the team not paying attention to you.

As the game started you could tell Suga wasn't present at all. He often only paid attention or speak whenever he heard the teams cry of scoring a point, you were starting to get worried. He looked so zoned out that not even he was able to concentrate when he got put in.

"Hey, Y/n?" Takeda spoke. "Did something happen with Sugawara?"

"I uh...," you weren't even sure on how to respond to that.

The whistle then blowed signaling the match was over, you excused yourself and handed everyone a water bottle. You were going to give one to Sugawara as well but he had already gotten one from Yachi.

"Alright, I know it's tough and we are competing against different schools with different plays," Coach Ukai said. "But I need you to concentrate, focus on doing what we do best. So go out there and make sure you take those points back!"

"Yes, sir!" Everyone exclaimed.

You walked over to where Sugawara stood and pulled gently on the back of his shirt.

"Huh?" He turned around, seeing the way you looked at him. "What is it?"

"I've noticed how you're not into the match, you zoned out a lot of times and aren't giving your best like you usually do," you said. "I'm worried... did something happen?"

"I'm too busy right now to explain anything to you." He handed you back the water bottle.

"But Koshi-"

"I have to go if it's not something important about the match then it can wait."

Before you were able to yell out to him he had already gone back to the court.

"Alright we're up against Fukurodani now! Let's focus you guys!" Daichi yelled.

Sugawara clenched his jaw as he saw Akaashi standing in front of the net. He couldn't help but glare at him, his body became tense the longer he looked at him.

Akaashi awkwardly looked at Sugawara trying to ignore his stare.

"Hey," Bokuto whispered to him. "Did you do something to piss of Sugawara?"

"What?" He questioned. "No, I haven't even spoken to him since they've arrived."

The whistle sounded once more and the match finally began. Everyone on the the left side of the court could feel the energy had shifted. Tanaka kept looking back at Sugawara during the match, alongside Asahi and Daichi.

Nishinoya signaled at Daichi silently asking what the matter was with Sugawara.

When the ball got back to their side, Tanaka received it. It then went towards to Kageyama who tossed it up into the air setting it for Asahi but on an instant Sugawara ran up to spike the ball.

There were only two blockers at the front lined up to block him from getting a point. His eyes then went towards the left, Akaashi's eyes widened realizing who he was aiming towards.

With one single hit, he managed to spike it towards Akaashi resulting in the ball hitting him in the face.

Everyone stood silent as they tried to comprehend what had happened. The only sound heard was the ball losing it's speed and hitting softly against the wall.

"Akaashi!" Bokuto yelled as he rushed over to his side.

He sat up slowly holding his face, feeling a warm liquid running down his hands.

Bokuto then started to panic seeing he was bleeding. "You're bleeding!"

"What the hell just happened?" Coach Ukai asked.

"I'm not so sure myself either coach..." Takeda answered.

You then quickly walked over to the other side of the net. "Akaashi are you okay?" Only to make Sugawara feel even more anger.

Bokuto along with another teammate of his helped him stand up, staying close to him in case he fainted.

"I-I'm fine." Akaashi mumbled, "It's just a little nose bleed."

"I'm so sorry Akaashi, I don't know what got into him."

"I'll be fine." He reassured you.

"We should let him get checked out by the nurse." Konoha said.

"I'll take him, it's the least I can do after what happened." You said.

"Okay, she's going to take you alright Akaashi?" Bokuto said. "I'll go and check up on you after the match is over."

He only nodded and you wrapped you arm around his waist to steady him as you two walked.

"Are you seriously going to go with him?"

You stopped in your tracks hearing his voice ring out in the gym as everyone stood still watching.

"He gets hit and gets babied by you?!" Sugawara yelled. "What does somebody have to hit me in the face that hard or even harder for you to care about me instead of being by his side the whole damn time!-"

"Suga!" Daichi exclaimed putting his hand on his chest but he swat it away. "Calm down-"

"I'm not going to calm down when my girlfriend is attending to someone who doesn't even need it."

You tried your best to keep yourself calm to avoid exploding in front of everyone and saying something you'd might regret in the end. Looking over your shoulder your gaze landed on him.

"I'm taking him to the infirmary, Koshi," you stated. "He got injured because you exploded and let your anger get the best of you. It's the least I can do, until I get back try to calm down alright? Then we'll talk."

You turned to look at Akaashi. "Here use this in the meantime," you handed him a handkerchief and continued to walk towards the infirmary.

Meanwhile Coach Ukai kept apologizing to Fukurodani's coach and team as well.

"That was not cool, Suga." Nishinoya said.

"I agree with him," Tanaka spoke. "I understand your girlfriend is close to Fukurodani's setter and probably knows him but that was no reason to slam the ball into that poor guys face."

"You guys don't understand," he mumbled his grip tightening on both his formed fists.

"Suga what happened?" Asahi asked concerned about his friend.

"I snapped alright?!" He exclaimed lifting his head to look at them. "I got jealous seeing how she was smiling with him, at him. Y/n was having such a comfortable time talking with him that she didn't even realize how that made me felt."

"Suga she's with you, not with him-"

"I know that Daichi!" He retorted. "I tried telling myself that but every time I remembered how she looked at him made it ten times worse and it resulted in me slamming that ball into his face without realizing!" Sugawara ran his fingers through his hair pulling on the ends out of frustration. "She could be with him for all I know when she realizes how much better he is ... hell he actually stays on the court the longest than I've ever been able to. Akaashi- as much as I hate to admit it he'd actually be a better boyfriend than me."

"Why don't you take a chill pill and tell her that yourself later." Coach Ukai spoke as he placed a hand on his shoulder. "I understand love makes you do stupid crap but you crossed the line. I know this won't help but there's always going to be someone better than you."

His shoulders sagged hearing him.

"Fukurodani's ace has a lot more experience than you that we can all see."

"Damn way to help him out Coach." Tanaka said.

"But," he continued. "You bring a lot to the team and onto the court. I've seen how hard you've stayed late to practice even though there's only a sly chance you'd play during a practice match or even during the prelims. You have a lot of things that Akaashi doesn't, I'm sure Y/n can see that herself. She's always been rooting for you during the sidelines and during late night practice. Those times you stayed late I saw how tired she looked but she stayed because she cares about you. Y/n has gushed about how much she loves you and all the things she can't wait to see you do."

"Well now I feel like an ass." Sugawara sighed.

"Don't let your insecurities get the best of you as hard as it is. Try to learn from the others on the court and what you can do to get stronger because if you let it happen again there's no telling that she'll forgive you twice if you screw up."

"Yes, coach."

"Good now that that's out of the way," Coach Ukai said, he cleared his throat and didn't hold back. "What the hell were you thinking huh?! Pulling off that move! I know you are able to spike but you barely practiced that! You could have injured yourself and we can't afford for that to happen, prelims are around the corner damn it!"

"For a guy who gives good advice he can also give you an earful in an instant more than what Daichi does when he's mad." Nishinoya said.

"Well can't say that he didn't earn that." Asahi chuckled slightly.

"Now go to the bench and cool down for the rest of the match." Coach Ukai said.

"Yes, sir." Sugawara mumbled as he sat down on the cold hardwood bench with a towel draped over his head. Regret began seeping in as he recalled back go what he had said to you.

'Damn it, I screwed up big time.'

"Looks like nothing is broken, the swelling should go down soon." The nurse said.

"Is he going to be alright then?" You asked.

"He's going to be just fine for the meanwhile tilt your head back and put pressure on your nose with the tissue, so the bleeding will stop."

The nurse got up and threw away her gloves into the trash can. "I'll be back soon, use the ice as well for the swelling."

"Yes, ma'am." You said. "Thank you so much for your help."

Now it was just the two of you, you placed the ice gently on his nose as he held the tissue.

"I'm really sorry about him, I don't understand where all that anger came from." You explained. "I guarantee you that he's not the type of person to do that."

"It's alright." Akaashi said. "If my girlfriend was talking with someone else I'd get jealous too."

"Yeah but there was no reason to I mean we were only talking-"

"He saw something that's why," he said. "Sugawara was able to pick up on it."

You looked at him confused placing the ice down. "What are you talking about?"

A sigh escaped his lips as he tilted his head forward, taking off the tissue and looking at you. "I like you, Y/n."

Your eyes widened as your lips slightly parted in shock.

"I still do, ever since we started talking in middle school what I thought was just feeling grateful and happy that you were my friend turned into something more. Then the day you had to leave and we confessed to one another, I still kept hope that when we meet each other again the two of us would still feel the same way."

"Akaashi..." You looked at him with sad eyes.

He however still smiled softly at you, "I still wished that the two of us felt the same way but I see now that you moved on and with someone that makes you happy."

"I still did like you after I moved," you sighed looking down at your lap. "Every day I kept thinking about you, wondering how you were doing. But then I started to get used to a new school, I met new people. My feelings started to slowly disappear and then meeting Sugawara I realized I was missing you, but as a way of wanting to see my friend again that brought me so much joy and made middle school bearable for me." You chuckled earning a smile from him.

"I understand," he said placing a hand on top of yours gently. "I'm just glad that you're happy with the person you like, that's all I can ask for in the end."

"I really missed you Akaashi."

"Me too."

You leaned in and wrapped your arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. Akaashi closed his eyes as he tried to memorize your touch, knowing well he was going to miss it once the training camp was over.

"Let's keep in contact at least okay?" You mumbled.

"Well of course you owe it to me at least." He said making you chuckle.

There was a knock at the door, you two pulled away.

"It's probably Bokuto, the match is most likely over."

The door opened and it was him like Akaashi had said but there was another figure behind him.

"Akaashi!" Bokuto exclaimed throwing himself onto him. "You're okay!"

"Uh I'm fine, Bokuto. It was just a nosebleed."

"Hey..." The other figure spoke.

Bokuto pulled away from him and stood next to the person.

"Oh yeah, Suga here wanted to tag along." He said. "He's got something to tell you."

Sugawara's face turned red as he tried to look at Akaashi in the eyes. "I'm sorry about what happened... I was out of line and I should have talked to you properly instead. I hope you can forgive me, Akaashi."

Akaashi stood up, "It's alright, I'm fine there's no need to worry anymore it."

"Still, I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you."

"Apology accepted then." He slightly smiled at him and turned to Bokuto. "I should be fine to head back now, I'm sure the coach is probably wondering where you are."

You stood up as well, Sugawara looked at you.

"Can we talk for a moment?" He asked. "Please?"

Akaashi gave you a slight nod, you sighed and nodded your head. You waited until they were both gone so you could talk.

"Koshi-"

"Just please, can you listen to me for a sec?" He said. "That's all I ask afterwards if you want to scold me then I won't interrupt you knowing well I deserve it."

"Alright."

"Listen I'm so sorry for the way I acted towards you." Sugawara began, "I wasn't thinking and my jealousy got the best of me. I should have talked to you privately and not ignore you like a child. I was insecure with the way you were acting with him. I know I can trust you but when it came to him I wasn't able to. I was angry at myself not at you but I guess it came off as if I was mad at you."

"Koshi... there was no reason for you to get jealous of him or feel insecure in any way," you said. "But you did have a point about being mad at him."

"I did?"

"Akaashi and I know each other since middle school we were close friends and then the day I had to move, we ended up confessing to one another." You said. "But then I changed schools and I met you, my crush for him was gone but for him I guess he still had feelings for me."

"So I wasn't wrong then..." He mumbled.

"No but you were wrong about acting the way you did."

"I know, god I felt like such a fool in front of everyone." He admitted. "Even coach Ukai helped me realize how much of an idiot I was."

"You're an amazing player Koshi," you stepped forward and held his hands in yours. "Whether you're on the court or not, you're incredible. You don't hesitate to help the team out in any way you can, you came up with such good tactics that's helped them win. You have potential and are so smart on what to do whenever it becomes hard to score points." Smiling small you held the side of his face, moving your thumb gently against his cheek. "You may not be a star player but that's never going to change how I feel about you, because to me you're always be number one."

"I love you, so much..." He said placing his hand on top of yours that held his cheek. "I'm so lucky to have you.

"I love you too, Koshi... and I always will."

Sugawara pressed his lips against yours kissing you with such love and emotion. You both smile into the kiss feeling the heaviness disappear from earlier and being replaced with happiness. He sighed happily against your lips not being able to suppress the wide smile.

"I promise not to feel like that ever again."

"I know it might happen again but I'll make sure to remind you every day how great you are." You chuckled.

"I won't say no to that then." He pecked your lips wrapping his arm around your waist, not wanting to let you go.

"Hey," Bokuto spoke. "You okay, man?"

"Yeah..." Akaashi softly spoke. "I guess sometimes you can't have something you wait for too long."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Just someone who meant a lot to me."
