Why did this have to happen?

Where have I gone wrong?

I just wanted to make my relationship public, that's it.

All I wanted was to be able to kiss my boyfriend, hug him, hold hands with him, and all those other stuff, no matter where we are.

So why?

Why do we have to go through this?

"Why the hell are we tied up!?"

"To make sure you two don't run away again!" Mina yells as she points a finger at me. "Seriously Tsuyu, why didn't you tell anyone!? And where have you two disappeared to, huh!?"

"Midoriya, you traitor!" Mineta yells at Izuku. Apparently he's been crying since we left. "How could you do this!?

"A-A-A traitor!?" Iida immediately rushes past the crowd of our classmates that has formed after we came back. He grabs Izuku by both shoulders and stares him down with murderous intent in his eyes. "So not only were you hiding a secret relationship with Asui-san, but you are also betraying her with other women!? How could you do this to her!? You don't deserve to be called a man you scum!"

After Iilda's passionate words, a silence fills the classroom. "Um... Iida..."

"Hm? What is it Mineta? Do you know more about his evil doings?"

"I meant that he is a traitor to the club of girl-less guys... not that he's cheating on her..."

Izuku speaks up for the first time. "I'm a traitor to what!? When have I become a member of a club like that!?"

"It doesn't matter! You are not a member anymore!" The little boy says, offended. "And don't come to me begging to be one of us again!"

"I'M SORRY!" Iida suddenly screams and bows down in front of Izuku. "Please Midoriya, will you ever forgive me!? I blamed you for something you did not do without a single proof! I should have believed in you, as your friend, and as a fellow hero-in-training! I was simply shocked by Asui-san's sudden actions! I apologize for my behavior from the deepest parts of my heart! Will you ever find it in yourself to call me a friend again!?"

Izuku blinks. The whole class is staring at Iida, who is still bowing down apologetically. "Um... sure?"

"Thank you so much Midoriya, my friend!"

"Wait a second Iida." Todoroki speaks up from the back of the crowd. "You didn't know they are a couple?"

"What are you talking about? Of course I knew that."

"Then why did you-"

"I'm not sure why he would have stated something so obvious though. I mean, why say that there are two of them? It's obvious just by looking at them, right?" No one dares to speak against this case of utter denseness on his part. Everyone is just staring at him, making him even more confused. "What is it, everybody? Have I said something strange?"

"Well, that aside, does that mean you knew Todoroki-kun?" Mina starts to prompt him.

"Yes, Midoriya has revealed this to us while we were recovering after our fight against the Hero Killer. We boticed how often she comes to visit him and started to probe him about it."

"Then why didn't you tell me!?"

"I'm sorry, but why would I tell this to anyone? Especially you, of all people?" She stares at him angrily. "It's simply not my place to reveal information like that."

"Well, fine! That just means we have to get all of the details from the two main culprits!" And so, the class' attention is back on us. Just Great... "Well!? What do you two have to say for yourself!?"

"I'm sorry, but can we leave this for later and continue the lesson?" All Might speaks up from behind the teacher's desk. Earning himself a glare from the gossip-hungry females of class 1-A. "H-Hey there! Let's all calm down here, alright!?" Their glare intensifies. "U-Um... Oh right! I almost forgot I... Umm... I have... Urgent business to discuss with Mr. Aizawa! I better go looking for him, hehe..." He rushes out of the classroom. "Sorry class, but I'll need to to do some self-studying until I come back! See ya!" And with that said, he disappears from out sight.

"Now..." Mina begins. She approaches the chair Izuku is tied to and slams her feet on it. Mere centimeters away from his crotch. You better watch it Mina... Damage his balls in any way and I'll have to forget about our friendship for a few very bloody minutes... Izuku's response to this is a terrified yelp. "You're gonna tell us, exactly how you ended up with Tsuyu, alright?" Her tone of voice is almost threatening.

"I-I-I... W-Well.. That is..." He laughs nervously as his body shakes from nerves. I feel bed for having him go through this. I really should have though about what I was doing...

I guess all I can do now is try to take the heat off his back. "Mina, kindly leave him out of this. I'm the one who got impatient and revealed everything in the heat of a moment. I should have done this differently and talk this out with you sooner. Sorry.."

"I'll forgive you after you tell me everything."

My plan is working. The attention has shifted away from Izuku and onto me. He's visibly revealed to be out of the spotlight. "Mind being more specific?"

"Let's start with the obvious. When has this started?"

"I don't think there is one specific date, it just... kinda happened..." I start. "After that whole incident in USJ we just started to meet up from time to time. Then we realized our houses are in the same direction, so we started to go back together every now and then. We started to go out more and more, and before we knew it, we were holding hands without even realizing it."

"..."

"..."

"Wait, that's it?"

"Of course that's it. What else did you expect?"

"I don't know, something more... romantic? Some confession maybe?"

"I'm not sure if it counts, but after we realized that we are holding hands, we both just waited for the other to let go. Neither of us did, so I guess that gave us an idea on what both of us were after." I better not mention about Izuku kissing me right after that. Gotta keep the attention away from him.

"And when have that happened?"

"Um..."

"Well?"

"About... half a year ago...

"Say WHAT!?" She grabs my shoulders and starts shaking me violently. "You mean to tell me that you've been hiding this from me for half a year!? What kind of a friend does that!?" She cries out.

"I said I'm sorry! Stop shaking me!"

She finally stops but keeps her hands on my shoulders as she stares into my eyes. "How far did you two go?"

"Kero?"

"As in, hugging, kissing... No wait, I know you two did that already..."

And then, Aoyama suddenly speaks up. And I really wish he didn't. "Perhaps sex?" The class focuses on him for a moment before looking back at us. We're both blushing madly. "Is it the reason why you two walked away for the lunch break?"

"O-O-O-Of course not!" Izuku cries out. "I-I-I-I m-mean, w-w-we're j-just h-h-high-schoolers! Hehehehe! W-W-Why would you even think t-t-t-t-t-that!?"

"... That sounds rather suspicious..." Iida points out in an almost uncharacteristic moment of awareness. "And you two do have a somewhat strange smell coming off of you..." I can see sweat running down Izuku's face. The whole class is staring down at him, making all my previous attempts at moving the attention away from him go to waste. I want to say something that would help him, but it feels like I have a lump in my throat. All I can do is sit there and blush nervously as our classmates fry him alive with their stares.

"Midoriya..." Mina says as she approaches him. Her eyes give out a small hint of hostility as she kneels down to his eye level and grabs him by the collar of his shirt. "I'm going to ask this only once, so you better listen." She pauses for a short moment, letting daggers that shoot out of her eyes sink in. A bit of acid appears in her hand and she makes sure to show it to him. "Are you only with my friend because she's pretty?"

The whole class, me included, expects Izuku to start denying it nervously, stuttering on every world and shaking in fear. However, what he does is nothing like this. "Kindly don't insinuate anything like that." He returns Mina's hostile glare with one of his own. It gives her a pause, but she maintains the eye contact with him. "I love Tsuyu from the bottom of my heart, and I will not let anyone think otherwise. Of course I think she's pretty. Downright beautiful even. But to suggest that I don't see anything else in her is just an insulting lie."

It's rare to see him this serious, when he's in public. Especially when it comes to stuff of this nature. The class watches with anticipation for what happens next. I think I'd blush even harder at that confession if the blood vessels in my face weren't about to burst.

Mina doesn't move in the slightest at those words. Their staring contest continues for a good minute before Mina suddenly jumps up and screams. "Approved!" Izuku's clearly confused at that. As is everyone in the class.

"What?" He says. In response, Mina throws some acid on the rope that's tied around him. It immediately falls down on the floor and Izuku starts to move his now freed arms. I'm pretty sure he'd be able to just break the rope using his quirk, but from what I can tell, actually using that quirk without breaking his bones takes focus. And the situation we found ourselves in isn't all that good for that.

"You have gained my approval to be Tsuyu's boyfriend! Rejoice!" She pulls him up from the chair. "I hope you're not gonna hold all that against me. I just needed to make sure that my friend knows what she's getting into." She scratches the back of her head nervously.

I can feel a slight heat coming from the rope around me. Before I even look down to investigate, a small burst of fire cuts the rope. Looking at Todoroki, I see that this was his doing. I thank him with a nod and get up from the chair. "Mina, mind stepping away from my boyfriend?"

"Hee hee hee... Gonna kiss him in front of us all again?" She says, but steps away from Izuku anyways. I quickly take her place and embrace him, burring my face in his chest. He hesitates at first, but with somewhat staggered movements hugs me back.

For some reason everyone starts to clap their hands, making us blush some more. "I think I had enough embarrassment today to last a lifetime..." I whisper to him.

"Same here..." He lets out a sigh as his forehead presses down against the top of my head. We remain like that for a moment, while some of our classmates start to go back to their places. Izuku suddenly lifts his head. "H-Hey, everyone... W-Where is Kacchan?"

I pull away from his chest and look around the classroom. Bakugo really is nowhere to be seen. The back entrance is wide opened though.

"He left some time ago. Looked pretty angry from what I could tell." Todoroki says.

"Umm..." Another voice sounds through the classroom. Everyone turns towards the source. We see All Might peaking through the front entrance to the classroom. "Can I start the lesson now?"
