"It's pouring out here.. how am I supposed to get home without an umbrella?" Itsuka complains to herself. She forgot her umbrella at home after rushing to get ready, and she could thank her dreams for that. Her dreams were very specific.. about someone she really admired in another class. Even though she didn't see the boy often, she'd hear absolutely amazing things about him from his classmates. None of the things they said were lies, she could see that herself. A small crush eventually turned into something else. She loved everything about him, but there was one thing. The only thing she hated about him..

Was that he had a girlfriend. An invisible girl named Hagakure, which made Itsuka completely confused and angry. 'How could he love a girl he can't even see?!' Was one of her most often complaints in her mind. Each time she'd see him with her, he treated her like a completely normal girl. It was obvious that the two had chemistry, just from the way they acted. It completely pissed Itsuka off.

The fact that a girl who nobody knows or acknowledges, is dating such an amazing person. Itsuka tried her best to contain it and try to carry on, but it got hard to ignore. Izuku took over her mind without even doing anything to her, and he wasn't even aware. She'd imagine him getting dumped by Toru, and her being his shoulder to cry on. It was exactly what she wanted.

She often gets what she wants.

"Hey, you don't have an umbrella. Did you forget it or something?" A voice snaps her out of her thoughts. The voice belonged to the exact one she wanted to hear.

"Y-yeah! I did, so uh.. what are you d-doing here? It's p-pretty l-late soo.." Itsuka had no clue how to respond. One side of her wanted to ask him to share his umbrella, and the other side wanted to wait it out with him.

"Well, I was called after class to help out some teachers. Didn't know it'd be this late when I finished though.." Izuku replies. "O-ok.. so.. w-wanna share your umbrella? M-maybe walk me home?" Itsuka finally decided. She was nervous, she wanted to leave a good impression on him.

Izuku nods his head and grabs onto Itsuka's shoulder. She squeals and surprise, right before pulls her closer to him, and wrapping his arm around her.

Itsuka's face was far from her original skin tone. Her heart beat increased and was to the roof, but she loved it. His warm touch was a new experience to her, and it was somehow intoxicating to her. "I-is this fine?" Izuku had a small blush on his face, which was completely adorable to Itsuka. "C-completely fine w-with me!" Itsuka shouts out of nowhere.

They both walked on in silence, breaking it for new directions to Itsuka's home. Even though they barely said anything to each other, she was still completely satisfied. Izuku could make her, a reasonably strong girl, into a nervous wreck with just his touch. She didn't mind at all, her mind was only focused on him.

After a short amount of time, Itsuka points to her house and tells him that it's hers. He lets go of her and holds the umbrella over her until she reaches her porch, and she turns around to face him. "Midoriya.. thanks. I can make you some tea or something if you want, for a token of appreciation." Itsuka was sad that he finally let go, so she wanted to spend some more time with him.

"Oh no, it's fine! Plus I have to go see Toru very soon, so I'm sorry but I can't right now."

"Toru? Isn't t-that the girl you're dating?" Itsuka's tone was a lot different then her happy one previously.

"Yeah. We live in the same apartment complex, so I can get home from there easily." Izuku answers.

"F-fine then. G-guess I'll j-just have tea alone, then.." She was on the verge of tears. Full of anger and sadness, jealousy overtook her. She tried to guilt-trip him into staying, but it was clear that he wouldn't budge. He was so loving for his girlfriend, and his loyalty was only showing itself way more onto Itsuka.

"What's wrong? W-why are you upset?" Izuku questions, after hearing her sad tone of voice.

Itsuka doesn't answer and closes the door, obviously upset. Izuku had no clue what he did, but shrugged it off. It's not like she was one of his friends, but it still hurt to see someone like that.
Itsuka watches him walk off from her window. It was the last straw for her, she was done. She didn't want to feel like a background character in his life anymore. She wanted so much more then to just be someone he talks to occasionally, she wanted all of his attention. He wanted him to be hers and hers only..

...

Izuku arrives to Toru's apartment and walks in. He didn't have to knock since he had a key, and could come in any time. "Izukuuu!" Toru runs up to Izuku, after being bored at home for a few hours. She almost tackles him to the ground somehow, but she was always that way. Izuku always had to be prepared for her attack hugs. "Hey, how are you doing?" Izuku asks happily. They'd known each other for so long, they were so happy together..

Izuku didn't care that she was invisible, but it did make a few things awkward. She could be anywhere at any time, watching him even when he's in the shower.. that makes him cautious during times like those.

Izuku gets a text message right as they both sit on the couch. He checks his phone to see it's from an unknown number, but puts it back in his pocket. He was used to getting unknown messages, and always just ignored them. "Who texted you?" Toru asks in a curious tone. "Oh, just another spam number. I'm getting them more frequently, but I ignore them." Izuku replies, showing her the number. "Have you even read any of their messages? It could be a relative or somebody.." Toru questions. "Nah, I haven't. Should I? You can read them with me if you want." Izuku asks. She makes a thumbs up with her glove on in response.

Izuku opens up the unknown number and sees a ton of messages.

They freaked both Toru and Izuku out.

I GOT TO TOUCH YOU! IT HURT WHEN YOU LET GO SO I WANTED YOU TO STAY, BUT NOW I GOT MY ANSWER! IT WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND WHO WAS HOLDING YOU BACK, EVEN YOU SAID IT!

"O-oh god.." Toru says nervously. Izuku was starting to get nervous as well, it was nerve wrecking. Izuku suddenly reminded himself that the person texting him was describing the exact same things he did with a certain redhead..

"Oh god.. is it her..?" Izuku mumbles under his breath. "Who? Who is it?" Toru asks in a worried tone. "I think it's Itsuka Kendo from Class B, I walked her home because she didn't have an umbrella and when she asked me to stay, I said you were waiting for me.. now that I think about it.. she was upset about it too.." Izuku replies. "She thinks that I'm not letting you text her.. she has the wrong idea, text her back!" Toru suggests.

5:45 PM
You have the wrong idea, I thought this was a spam number. I'm sorry.

"Hopefully that should clear things up.. I'm gonna have to talk with her tomorrow." Izuku says in a reluctant tone. "Want me to come with you? Or is she gonna he mad..?" Toru asks. "She probably is gonna be mad. Don't worry, I'll try my best to convince her that you aren't like that." Izuku says, determined. Toru wasn't really a jealous girl, she didn't mind when he would spend time with one. The only reason she doesn't get worried is because of Izuku's loyalty to her. It was something she treasured deeply.

The sound of a new text message snaps her out of her thoughts. They both look over at the phone..

5:49 PM
you finally answered.. took you long enough. you probably know who i am already, so can i talk to you in private tomorrow?

5:50 PM
Yeah, sure.

"Don't worry, I'll try to clear this up as fast as possible. I'm not sure what she wants, but if someone does go wrong I'll call or text you, alright?" Izuku assures the nervous girl.

...

"I have to go there again? I thought she'd talk to me in the morning.." Izuku sighs to himself. She texted him to notify him of the location that they'll meet, which is her home. He thought that they would talk on school grounds, but she took the cautious route.

Izuku walks up to her door, and without even knocking, she opens it. "Took ya long enough. Come in." Itsuka leads him to her living room, which was noticeably clean. He sits down on a couch off to the side, and waits patiently for her to settle down as well.

She sits down next to him, getting uncomfortably close to him. He tries to scoot away but can't go any farther, he was already on the side.

"I love this.. so much.." Itsuka mumbles. "S-so about the messages thing.. Toru has nothing to do with it. Like I mentioned over text, I thought your messages were spam." Izuku explains. She doesn't answer at first, distracted by his smell. Everything about Izuku was perfect to her.

"She doesn't deserve you." Itsuka whispers. Izuku wasn't sure if he heard her correctly, so he remained silent, waiting for a response. "Midoriya.. why do you like that girl? Can you tell me that?" Itsuka questions. "She's amazing. She doesn't get mad if I mess up every once in a while, and she always checks up on me no matter how she's feeling. She understands if I decline to hang out with her, and there's so much more.." Izuku answers honestly.

Itsuka sighs.

"That's nice to know. Thanks for telling me, Midoriya." Itsuka replies in a empty tone. "Huh? What's wrong?" "Nothing at all." She was upset once again. "Well, I think it's my time to leave. Thank you for listening." Izuku stands up from the couch. Itsuka nods while looking down at the ground.

'I'll make you fall in love with me.. no matter what.'

Itsuka already had a plan in mind.

She had photos of Izuku hanging out with Ochako from a week ago, one of them was easily to misinterpret. She had tripped and brung Izuku down with her, the result was a sight that anybody would misunderstand.
