For some reason, I broke up with Midoriya
Well... not exactly.
I don't know why, but our relationship just hit the pause button. Which makes me a bit more confused, had I not told him that we'll just be on a break for a while. Not even a single greeting was exchanged since.
One moment you started considering you actually like the guy, the next... well, he's suddenly distant. I guess it is my fault, since I'm the one that said we needed a break. But why isn't he talking to me?
I guess he hates me now...
Well, at least he has someone that can actually protect that smile. He has Uraraka... Heh, it's long overdue... Even Momo was surprised to know that Midoriya even considered dating her when he has me...
I really am an idiot.
Almost everyone from class is currently in the common room, with the exception of Bakugo and surprisingly, Kaminari. Sitting down on the couch was a bad idea, especially when your ex-boyfriend and his current girlfriend is right next to you. I could only gaze at the hot cup of cocoa Momo gave me earlier, I haven't even touched it yet. Uraraka and Midoriya are currently cuddling right beside me, the former trying to look for a new scar tissue on the latter's skin. I can't take this anymore.
"Deku, calm down! I just have to check for marks-"
I stood up and sighed, trying to think of something to say at this situation... but nothing came out. Noticing a surprised look from Uraraka, I turned to face Midoriya. He's still avoiding me, his eyes focused somewhere else.
Screw this.
I stormed off, walking to the courtyard to breathe. I want to scream. I want to yell. I want to...
I want to cry.
I sat on the ground thinking about what happened with me and Midoriya... how we split.
It was the day after I told him I love him.
"Good morning Izuku"
"G-Good morning to you too, Kyoka. It's nice to see you doing okay."
I nodded as he greeted me back, I then turned to see him talking to someone on the phone.
"Isn't it a little bit too early to be talking to someone on the phone?"
"I-It's my mom, she just wanted to know how I was doing."
I didn't mind it, it was his mother. I'm not gonna be like those paranoid girlfriends that are so crazy even with text messages.
"Are you free tonight?"
I have plans for him tonight, I think it's about time we actually do what actual couples do... That is to go on a date.
"I'm not, s-sorry... I'm having dinner with a f-friend, h-he recently came back to town. I wanna hang out with him."
Liar. Dude, we've been over this, you are a terrible liar. I tried to roll along with it, I mean I have to trust him with this one. He's my boyfriend and he can have dinner with anyone he likes, that is how much I trust hin. He'll probably meet with a girl... but I'll trust him with this one.
"Next time then"
"Sure, Kyoka, whenever you want."
Later that day, I received a text from Mina to gather up in her room. She said something about 'a day we will never forget'.
"So what is it you wanted to talk about, Mina-chan?" Tsu asked first, sitting next to Tooru
"I did say this will be a day we will never forget, because our dear Ochako here has something to say."
I could distinctly hear the aforementioned girl's heartbeat raising as Mina gave her the moment to speak. What is she gonna say?
"I'll confess to Midoriya tonight."
What?
I hear cheers from my classmates, mainly Tooru and Mina. I noticed Momo giving me a worried look, I swear I don't know this was happening.
"How do you plan on doing so, Ochako-chan?"
"I'll do it after dinner, when we're alone."
"How? Midoriya's going somewhere tonight?" I asked, wishing I was wrong with this.
"That was me, I asked him have a dinner with me tonight."
Huh?
"Bold! Ochako, Bold!"
"Way to go, girl!"
I noticed Momo, shift her position right beside.
"Jiro..."
"Don't do it."
What?
"Huh?"
"Don't confess."
I thought it was gonna be me... but it wasn't. It was Momo that interjected.
"Please think about this through, Uraraka. What happens if Midoriya wouldn't feel the same way?"
"Then I'll gladly accept his rejection."
An instant reaction.
Damn it.
"Then you should do it."
This time, it was me that spoke.
"If that's what you really feel, dude, just do what you think is right... and right now, telling him how you feel is right."
I felt Momo's hand grasp mine tightly. I eventually excused myself from the chat and walked towards the common room.
"Why'd you do it?"
Momo...
"Where you that confident that Midoriya would choose you over her?"
"No. I'm one hundred percent sure he'll say yes to her in an instant... cuz that's how it was meant to be."
"Kyoka-!"
"Right now, Izuku can love whomever he loves."
"If that's what you really feel, dude, just do what you think is right... and right now, telling him how you feel is right."
I hate myself for saying that.
"And right now, I'll do what I think is right."
"Kyoka..."
"He won't accomplish anything if he's with me. If he's with her, he'll finally receive all the love he deserves... the love I can't give him."
I'm being so uncharacteristically different, I know... But I guess being with Midoriya has changed me.
"Don't worry Momo, I'll do it so he won't lose that smile."
I was mentally scolding myself as I went to Midoriya's room, trying to think of what to say. I then found myself in front of his door, reaching to knock...
BAM!
"Ow!"
I was broken off from a trance when something just fell on top of me. Something really squishy...
"You seem to like where you're holding, huh?"
Shit!
It's not something... someone. The person then got off of me and stood up to reveal themselves. It was a woman... and she was wearing our gym uniform. She's nearly the same height as I am, taller even. She had large, dusky green eyes and long eyelashes. Her teeth are long and notably pointed, which reminds me with that of a dinosaur. Her dark green hair, just passing her shoulders, wavy and beautiful. I recognize her from Class B...
Setsuna Tokage
"Good evening!"
What the hell is she doing here?
"If you're wondering why I'm here, I came to try surprise you guys by trying to drop my hand on top of you."
"Please don't do that. That is extremely freaky."
"It's just a prank, Jiro!"
This woman.
"Are you even allowed to do that?"
"Well, it ain't exactly illegal if you aren't caught."
That is wrong on so many levels.
"I was kinda hoping I could talk to you more though, we haven't properly met yet. Whenever I try to talk to you-"
"Monoma goes on about your class and mine."
"Yeah!"
We had a good laugh at that.
"But in all seriousness, I'm not really like him. If anything, I'm more interested in what your class has to offer."
"Then you came trying to scare the wrong person."
"Geez, you're no fun."
Is she pouting? Cuz if she is, it's really adorable.
"Wanna come by my room? We can talk better there."
"Oh my gosh, Kyoka Jiro. We haven't even held hands yet, and now you're asking me to come to your room? I never pegged you to be this bold!"
"Not like that!"
She laughed hard at my reaction. It is ridiculous... but I wouldn't really mind.
Setsuna Tokage is a beautiful woman. Any person would be really lucky just to talk to her, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't think she was hot. And honestly, I wouldn't mind going out with her... that is if she swings that way too, of course.
I take in the moment that filled me satisfaction at the moment, I immersed myself in her smile.
I hope this would be enough for now.
