Ch. 4: Doubts
Izuku's POV
Feeling her heartbeat against mine was almost exhilarating, causing me to blush, while rocking her gently. The music had long since stopped, and I had seen our classmates staring at us for a while, but I didn't care. I was here, holding the most beautiful girl to ever catch my eye. Her soft (h/l) (h/c) hair covering her gentle face, (e/c) hues sparkled in the moonlight as she stared at me. I closed my eyes and smiled, taking in the moment. Our moment, I always wished I'd be able to choke back my embarrassment to confess, and even though I couldn't, it was perfect. Kiss her! No! That's a bit much don't you think? My conscience fought, keeping me from realizing that (Y/N) had laid her head on my shoulder. I gulped, holding her close. I Hadn't prepared myself for a yes, or even holding her.
"I'm a little cold.." (Y/N)s soft voice spoke up.
"O-Oh! Yeah, probably. Let's get inside!" I stuttered, leading her inside quickly. I walked her to her dorm room in comfortable silence. Nearing the door I pondered on what to tell her. 'I enjoyed tonight'? No.. no. It's not like this was a date… 'Thanks for saying yes'? That sounds stupid… Her door opening made me realize I was losing my chance to say anything.
"(Y/N)...?" She turned to me, concern written on her soft features. "Uhmm…" I blushed, feeling like my shirt collar was trying to choke me. "I..uh.." I gulped softly, seeing her face turn a light pink. Smiling I felt a little more confident. "You're really beautiful. And I'll treasure what happened outside… goodnight." I trailed off, realizing after it slipped, what actually came out of my mouth.
"S-same Izu! I mean. I'll treasure it too, and you're very cute. Sweet dreams." Her door shut as I fidgeted with my shirt. Cute? I'm cute! I smiled happily as I turned to head to my dorm room.
"You're not going anywhere." I was met with Kaminari, Kirishima, Todoroki, Iida and Mineta blocking my path, a few others from class behind them.
"Listen guys. I'm not in the mood... I'm tired." I lied, blushing and scratching my neck some.
"Bro! It was manly to confess outside in the moonlight. But totally not manly to not tell us! We could have helped!" Kiri stated, crossing his arms.
"She's not like the most smoking in class. But how'd you get someone before me?" Mineta whined.
"That's not our points here!" Iida shouted over the other small complaints. "I want to remind you that you have to keep PDA to a minimum. Since we had a party it's okay. But minimal during class." I nodded a bit, feeling rejected that upon all the stuff I heard it was mostly complaints. "And Midoriya. Congratulations." Iida smiled, walking off along with everyone leaving behind Ochako. I raised a brow seeing her shaking.
"Och-"
"I HOPE YOU AND HER ARE HAPPY!" She yelled, startling me. I was confused. Did I miss something? She ran away, visibly upset, leaving me in shocked confusion. I sighed, walking to my dorm.
(Y/N)'s POV
I leaned against my door clutching the shirt covering my chest. My heart pounding, face as red as can be, completed with a goofy grin on my face. "I'll have to thank Ashido for being a terrible friend." I whispered before hearing commotion outside. I put my ear to the door to hear Mineta whine about getting a girl before someone else. I figured it was Izuku he was talking about. Listening, I then heard Iida give Izu a run down of PDA laws, I rolled my eyes, knowing that'd be a thing. The other side of the door grew quiet and as I walked away I heard a shout that I had been worried about.
"I HOPE YOU AND HER ARE HAPPY!" I flinched, sighing.
"I am happy.." I mumbled, sitting down. Ignore her, she doesn't know anything about what Izuku and I have. My thoughts threw out nasty words, yet I couldn't face it. She was my friend, and now she was hurt.
I tossed and turned in bed, I couldn't focus. Tired as hell, it rounding 2 am, but I was preoccupied with multiple thoughts. Hmmmm…. I grabbed my phone and scrolled through my contacts till I saw Shoto.
[(Y/N): Hey, emo. You up?
Shoto: Mhm. Congrats by the way.]
I blinked, blushing.
[(Y/N): What the hell, you make it sound like I'm pregnant. Thanks though.
Shoto: Ha. Anything you need?
(Y/N): Actually yes.. you just seemed to be the only one I'd assume be awake, edgy.
Shoto: Alright. Hurry, I think the melatonin is kicking in.]
I huffed and typed quickly.
[(Y/N): Lucky. Well, I'm feeling terrible, Ochako seems really upset that Izuku and I are together. I should have told him no, I knew she liked him.]
It was silent, I started to set my phone down assuming his meds kicked in, pulling the phone back quickly at the notification sound.
[Shoto: (Y/N). Do you like Izuku?
(Y/N): Yeah, for years…
Shoto: Did he ask you out?
(Y/N): Yes…..]
I sighed I knew where he was getting.
[Shoto: Then don't feel bad that he didn't return anyone else's feelings, be happy he returned yours. I don't see the need for this conversation. Goodnight.]
I stared at my phone screen, repeating his message in my head. See, don't worry yourself. If she's a good friend she'd understand that it's his happiness. I nodded in agreement and changed my wallpaper to a picture of Izu then laid down, finally being lulled to sleep.
~Next morning~
I woke up and groggily looked at my phone to check the time. “Of course, I wake up 20 minutes before my alarm clock goes off.” I huffed, burrowing under my covers. I laid there for a bit before coming to the understanding that I won’t be able to fall back asleep. I kicked my blanket off and trailed tiredly to shower, then brush my teeth and get dressed. “Another day in paradise…” I mumbled, deciding that with the time I had left I’d get breakfast. I opened my door to see a muttering Izuku standing in front of me. I raised a brow and flicked his forehead. “Hey creep, whatcha doing?”
“Ahh!” He stumbled back, blushing. “(Y-Y/N)! I was just coming to see if you were up… I thought maybe you’d want breakfast?” His stuttering caused me to smile slightly.
“Breakfast with you? Sounds lovely.” His face heated up more, causing me to laugh. “Your face heats up anymore and your head might explode.” He laughed softly, still blushing deeply. He took my hand and started leading me to the cafetiera. The walk was silent, I tried to come up with anything to talk about. It’s definitely harder to talk now that we’re together… But I thought a confession would make everything easier?
“Hey, (N/N)?” I peeked over at Izuku humming in response.
“Yes Izu?” We stepped into the line of others getting food.
“Last night… Ochako seemed kinda up-” I cut him off with a sigh.
“Yeah, I know….” He gave me a slight quizzical look, before his attention fluctuated behind me as he gave a small wave. I turned and saw Momo and Jiro, giving them a nice wave before looking back at Izuku. “Truth is.. She knows I know that she has a crush on you.”
“I didn’t know that.” Izuku chimed up suddenly.
“That’s cause you’re oblivious.” I state. “Well, she didn’t know… that I’ve wanted you to myself for a while… So she probably sees it as betrayal…” I sighed again, and Izuku grabbed my hand, trying to comfort me. Before I knew it I was pushed to the side as Momo and Jiro shoved between us, brows furrowed.
“We all knew he liked you. It’s pretty obvious.” Jiro said lazily.
“I have always been for team (Y/N). She’ll come around to it eventually. But don’t worry, everyone else is happy for you guys regardless!” Momo included. I smiled softly and moved the girls away from Izuku and took my place back, getting my food.
“Thanks guys. It’s reassuring that we’re not hated!” I exclaimed enthusiastically.
We decided to all sit together and one by one others joined, Iida, Shoto, Asui, and Ashido. They’d sit down, voice their approval and eat. It was weird, being praised for just becoming a couple. I’d look over at Izuku with a questioning look, he’d shrug and we’d let it go.
“So, I guess we have more training to do today.” Shoto spoke up.
“Lovelyyyy.” I groaned. “I hope there’s no more attacks.” I commented, mainly worried cause Izuku would jump head first into more trouble. They all gave their agreement in sync, the table looking around. We were exhausted with the constant villain fighting. Feeling a tap on my shoulder I turned my head to see Kirishima behind me with a huge thumbs up.
“Hey! I’m happy for you two! Don’t go hurting Izuku, got it?” I laughed, and ruffled Izuku’s hair.
“This baby? Why would I hurt such a cinnamon roll?” Kiri chuckled.
“Good. See you guys in class!” He yelled happily, while walking to the table with the others. I smiled and looked at Izuku, who was blushing and covering his face awkwardly.
“Oops.” I giggled, causing the others at our table to either roll their eyes or laugh at our situation.
After breakfast ended, I headed to the classroom after Izuku told me he’d meet up cause he needed to do something. Weird… I thought, opening the large door, I stopped, confused seeing two small envelopes on my desk.
OKAY OKAY WAIT! THIS IS 1644 WORDS. And I'm already working on ch 5. I'm terrible lol. Who wrote you these strange letters?!
