Valentines day had always been the worst for Izuku.It began once he turned four and was diagnosed quirkless.At first he wouldn't receive anything-not even a lollipop from his peers,but as time went on it only worsened.The missing chocolates soon turned it harsh pranks from the class.The distaste for the day increased at the sight of his former friend being the recipient of many gifts and despite the affection the rough blond still acted like a jerk.This caused Izuku as a young boy to believe Katsuki hated the too,but now that theory was being proved wrong.

The short boy sat in the back of his classroom with his eyes trained on Bakugo.The spiky-blond-haired boy was carrying a pink bag with a a white heart across it.Izuku could see the thin and wrinkled,red tissue paper that was peeking out of the small bag.Midoryia bit the inside of his cheek as the hothead placed the gift on Ochaco Uraraka's desk.At first the girl didn't even take notice of the gesture by Bakugo since she had been talking with the class' matchmaker Mina Ashido.The sweet brunette turned her head when the pink girl pointed to Katsuki with a sly grin.Initially there was a flash of excitement on Uraraka's face,but it quickly vanished when she laid eyes on the boy before her.The girl looked up and forced a smile."W-What's this for?"

Katsuki's voice was stern as ever,but it was not as hateful as usual."You're the only one in this damn class I can stand round-face."

"Oh,thanks...I guess."The blond across from the girl turned around and walked away.Ochaco turned back around and faced Ashido once again.The girls then began to talk about what had just happened.

"You don't seem very happy."

Uraraka shrugged her shoulders."I don't really like Bakugo;I mean we're friends but ...."

"Buttttt?Oooh let me guess,it's cause he is mean to Midoryia."

Ochaco threw her hands up in denial and sporadically waved them about."W-Wha -What that's totally not it."

Ashido leaned forward and looked the girl in the eyes."So what you're saying is that you don't mind how he treats Midoryia."

"No!"Ochaco winced as she realized she had raised her voice."I-I mean...I definitely don't like him cause of that but there are other things."

"Like?"

"Well....he's mean to everyone."

"Fair point,but you always look really made when he calls him Deku and a nerd,and worthless,and a loser,and-"

Uraraka placed a finger over Mina's lip."Okay...I get the point."

The pink girl leaned back and smiled at Ochaco."I get it."

Uraraka tilted her head."G-Get what?"

"You like him."

Ochaco took a gulp as she felt her cheeks heat up."L-Like wh-who?"

"Izuku,you've got a thing for him don't you.You're always with him,you two are like best friends,you talk about him all the time,and you always get flustered around him."

Uraraka shook her head."No...w-we're just friends."

Mina laughed at her and pointed to the girl's pinker than usual cheeks."Then why are you blushing?You didn't even get flustered by Bakugo coming over here,but I mention All Might Jr. and you get worked up."

"I swear-"

"Come on,just look at him back there with his head down-and without a gift."Uraraka looked back at her friend and picked up on him looking down in the dumps.The girl's brown eyes then scanned the room and took notice of everyone having a gift but him.Ochaco felt bad not only because he looked bummed out,but also because she had gotten him something,but had been to scared to give it to him.

The entire time Ochaco and Mina conversed Izuku had been trying to figure out the feeling in his stomach.The sensation was odd,and felt terrible.It wasn't hate or fear,but something else entirely.The bushy-haired boy could not decipher what it was,but he knew it came about when his childhood bully gave a gift to his best friend.

.....

Izuku sat in the seat and looked at the carpet that lied below his shoes.His eyes were dull and there was a deadpan expression across his face."Young Midoryia!"Izuku looked up at the frail man across from him."Are you okay?"

Deku ran his hand across his face as he shook his head."Yeah,Yeah,...I'm good."

Yagi scratched the side of his head."Are you sure?You're usually more invested in our lectures;is it because of the day?"

Izuku let out an fraudulent laugh."W-What's today...Wednesday?"

"Don't lie to me boy."

Deku slumped his shoulders and let out a sigh."Sorry,i-it's just I don't have the best track record on Valentines day."

"I see,but what is different about today then any other day?"

Midoryia spoke in a mumble."I don't know?"

Yagi smiled at his disciple,"It's a girl isn't it?"

The freckled boy resting in the chair blushed and shook his head."N-No,it's definitely not that."

"Who is it?Young Ashido,Young Asui,oh wait a moment..."Izuku covered his face and let out a groan."It's young Uraraka isn't it?Of course it is!"

The green-haired boy spoke through his hands."What am I suppose to do All Might?"

"Hmm-why do you keep these emotions buried?"

"Be-Because you never...dated so I can't-right?"

Yagi shook his head."Boy,how many times have I told you to find your own path?What are you going to do when you pass on One for All and you have to tell the poor child,I don't know just do it like All Might?"

"Uhhh...."

"My point exactly.Listen Izuku..."Deku knew he was in for it when the man used his first name."Emotions are not a handicap,they push us forward so why keep yours buried?I've seen the way you two look at each other there is a mutual affection for one another,so why not tell her?"

"Because I don't stand a chance."

Toshinori let out a roaring laugh followed by a gruesome leak of blood."My boy,you are a complete bonehead!"

.....

Izuku shook his head as he stepped out of his mentor's office.The boy didn't think All Might's words held much weight.'I'd know if she liked me-right?'Before Deku could turn to make his way towards the lunchroom he heard a energetic voice."Deku!"The boy froze on the spot."What were ya talkin' to All Might about?"

Izuku turned around and let a breath escape through his mouth."S-St-Stuff."

Ochaco's left eyebrow raised and she furrowed her brow."Stuff?"

Midoryia ran his scarred hand through his thick hair."Ye-Yep!"

"Huh,are you okay?"

"Totally!"

The short girl leaned forward and nearly knocked noses with her friend."You're sweating really bad and talkin' kinda loud."

"I-I uhh...have a ear infection...a-a really bad one t-too so you should definitely stay away."

Uraraka took a step back and put her hands behind her back."Oh....well I hope ya get better Deku."The sweet girl then turned around with a doubtful expression.When the girl had made it down the hall way Izuku thumped himself on the forehead and let out a groan of frustration.

"A ear infection,good one Deku!"The freckled boy then put his face in his hands as he walked down the hall."You really are a dork!"

So I don't really know how to end it cause this prompt has been done sooooooo much and I don't like to feel unoriginal so I'm not sure when the next part when drop.
