"You...have my things." I said, glancing off to the side, feeling shy all of a sudden as my nerves were getting the better of me. He looked down at the bag.

"O-oh, yeah. I thought you would have been sent home, s-so I was gonna take your bag and do your homework for you to make up for what I've done." 

I looked back up to him again. My shyness quickly squashed by irritation. "First of all, I already did all of my homework for each subject today. So there would have been nothing you could have done. Second, There is no way you can make up for what you did, because you did nothing wrong. You fell in love and kissed the girl you liked, I just took it the wrong way and over reacted. It was my fault-" 

"-What?" He dropped my bag on the ground. "What are you talking about? I didn't kiss anybody. If you're thinking I kissed Uraraka, then you've got it all wrong. I don't like Uraraka like that. I do like her, but as a sister. And the thing that I said I did wrong, was me ignoring you this entire time. That's what she was trying to get me to understand. Uraraka pulled me out of class to explain how she noticed my actions and helped me understand you, and what you must have been going through."

Now knowing this lifted a weight off my shoulders, but I was still kind of upset. "Yeah, and what you were doing wasn't helping." 

He looked to the ground in shame. Seeing him like this really didn't make me feel any better. I sighed, "It's not my intention to make you feel like shit, you know that, right? It's just..." What I wanted to say next shouldn't be said. It would go against the 'Operation Heros Of Love' thing that the girls planned for me, but I can't keep doing this. "...I like you...like more than a friend..." I looked away, too scared to see his reaction. "I've like you since, the day you jumped into my practice fight with the teachers, or probably even before that. And it's not some 'friendship' like, but it's definitely more than a crush, I don't know much about romance to know if it's love, but I would like to think that, the first person I love-" I choke and tear up, blurring the vision of the ground. "-is someone as worthy as you. You made me feel normal when we'd laugh together, blessed when you'd help me with anything I needed or wanted, appreciated, loved, and calm when are alone, and you'd compliment me when ever you could." Hot tears fell down my face and closed my eyes, still smiling. "And I never got that from anyone else in my life. Not even my own parents. Though I know you may not like me the same way, it's fine. As long as I get to be close to you, be your friend, then that's all I need. So please don't ignore me anymore." I look up and whip away my tears to look at him completely. "I need you. Because you keep me sane, normal, and human." He was clutching his shirt as tears began to fall down his face. "Izuku." He bent over, as if he was slowly breaking, and started crying.

"I'm so sorry." He whispers loud enough for me to hear. "I-it's just, I do like you the same way." His voice raises and breaks. My heart skips a beat and the ground feels like it's falling beneath me.

"I would watch you- and see you work so hard. Even when the odds are against you, you still keep fighting. You've been through more than any of us, even when we've been so mean to you, especially me, you still forgive us, and care for us and protect us as if we've never hurt you. You fight, love, and protect, like the heros that I idolize. S-so-" He cries even harder. "For you to call me worthy, and tell me you love me back- I feel more honored than anyone ever has. Because I am not worthy. I've never had any friends before I came to U.A, and was constantly reminded of how weak and worthless I am. I'm just some scared shy kid with a borrowed quirk. I wasn't even able to protect you during the Practice Fight, or in the USJ. I even ignored you out of fear, when I didn't have to be scared of you. I can't even protect the one I love, but yet you still call me worthy..."

"It's the truth." He looks back up at me as I walk towards him. "You know better than anyone, I just call it like I see it. I forgave you before I even forgave myself. So please, stop tearing yourself down over this, because no matter what you may think about yourself, I know the truth." I help him stand straight and brush his tears away, caressing his cheek. "You're the most brave, loving, and protective guy I know, who will one day become the number one hero, and I would like to be there by his side when that happens." I stare into his forest green eyes. 

A blush reaches his cheeks as he leans into my hand, smiling down at me. Sparkles of different colors speckled in his eyes, as if they held diamonds in them. I could feel the blood quickly rush to my cheeks and slowly wrapped my arms around his neck when I felt his hands hesitantly touch my waist, and leaned in with him, pressing our bodies close together. 

His warm breath grazed my lips as we were an inch apart. Gazing down from his sparkling green eyes, to the cute little freckles peppered on his cheeks, down to his smooth pink lips, my body became warm all of a sudden. Before I could think, he smashed his lips to mine, and kissed me. Taking me by surprise.

It took me a couple of seconds until I kissed back. His lips were soft and warm. Everything in my body felt lighter than usual and the feeling of butterflies flapping around in my stomach felt amplified. When my legs suddenly became jelly and nearly gave out, but Izuku held me up by wrapping his arms around my waist and holding me closer. Everything about this felt like two puzzle pieces fitting perfectly together. Feeling myself pushed up against his body made me blush more and more. My heart was beating faster than ever, making my chest tighten. After what felt like several minutes, my lungs started to burn, yearning for air. I pull away and smirk when he tries to follow after me for more, but backs off eventually too. We stand there speechless, trying to catch our breaths as we smile at each other. His face is redder than it's ever been while he gives me a cute shy look. No doubt mine was probably the same way.

"W-was that g-good? It was my first t-time kissing anyone s-so..." He sheepishly shared.

I giggle and give him a small peck on the lips, earning the smallest yelp and smile from him. "Yes. It was wonderful. It was my first kiss too." The blood quickly rushed to my face when he looked shocked.

"Really? I thought you would have kissed other boys before!"

"What?! What kind of girl do you think I am??"

"Ah! I'm sorry!! I didn't mean it like that! It's j-just so good t-that I thought you had been with other people before me."

"I'd been in prison at the age of 5 with nothing but villains. Trust me, I hadn't kissed anyone before."

"O-oh yeah. Sorry, I forgot."

"No worries." We separate, but he continues to hold my hand.

Izuku glances around everywhere and hands me my bag off the ground. I just put it on my shoulder. "So...does this make us a thing?"

I laugh. "That's not the question you should be asking to make this official."

 "O-oh yeah!" He clears his throat really quick and looks me in my eyes. "L/n Y/n, will you do me the honors of being my girlfriend?"

I keep my laugh to myself. 'That's usually one of the lines you use when you're proposing to someone, he just switched the word 'wife' with 'girlfriend', but he's so cute I'll leave it be.' I smile to myself. 

"Yes, I'd be more than happy to." He quickly pulled me into a big hug and lifted me. I yelped and laughed out loud when he peppered kisses all over my face. I didn't know he'd be so forward in romance, but I'm not complaining. 

Later on after we talked about telling the others, I gave him the movie I wasn't able to give him earlier, and we went our separate ways going home, with a kiss of course. The walk back was calm and quiet. Everything still felt so surreal to me after the kiss. I made it to the apartments and walked into the lobby. 

"Well look who it is! Our little lovebird has made it back to the nest~." The receptionist cooed, All Might stood there next to her with a smirk on his face. I blushed. 

 "How did you guys know?"

"Whenever you leave without a pro hero by your side, Higashi is allowed to use the city's security cameras to keep an eye on you. You know you're not suppose to go anywhere other than campus and the complex unless you have a pro at your side. You could get in a lot of trouble for this." All Might gruffed sternly at me. I sighed and bowed my head. 

"Yes sir, I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

"It's fine. You're not really in trouble. Just be more careful." I nodded. "Good. Now look!" He cheers like a schoolgirl and faces one of the three computers on the desk in my direction, showing a street security camera image of Izuku and I kissing. I felt dizzy when the blood quickly rushed to my face again.

"DELETE IT!"

"No! You two are so cute together!"

"So you two were watching us the entire time?!"

All Might cleared his throat. "I only did it for your protection and nothing else. That's my story and I'm sticking to it."

"Bull shit! You're sweating, you liar!"

"No! Can't you feel it? It's hot in here!"

"You're both creeps."

"We're concerned heros looking out for our little Y/n."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going back up to the room."

"Wait for me! The cameras don't have microphones! You have to tell me what you both said from the beginning!"

"NO!"
