Whitetiger789: Thanks.
Kaiyeti: Right. I actually might do something like that for Friday's post.
Sharquan: Uh…right…okay.
Here's the bit I originally wanted to post on Monday. AU, slight OOC, I own nothing except for the plot and enjoy.
Tsuyu, along with her friends and classmates Kyoka, Momo, Mina and Tooru sat in the living room of the Asui house, watching TV. Momo, Kyoka, Mina and Tooru looked at the green-haired teen and Tooru tilted her head to the side in confusion, "Is everything okay, Tsu? You don't seem upset that Tokoyami and-"
"I'm fine, really, I just thought Izuku would be here,"
"And why would Midoriya be here?" Momo arched a brow, "He isn't exactly an expert when it comes to this sort of thing and-"
"He and I have been best friends since we were babies and I thought he'd be here, but he said he had something to take care of and-"
"And it's more important than being here to comfort a friend!" Kyoka snapped and everyone looked at him, "What the hell kind of friend is he that he won't be here offering you comfort after that bastard was caught cheating on you with Uraraka an-" before she could finish, the five of them heard the strum of a few cords on a guitar before they looked around in confusion before walking towards the window and peeked out to see their classmate Izuku standing on the lawn, playing the guitar, "What the hell is he doing?"
"Is he…trying to serenade…Tsu?" Mina questioned as they looked at Tsuyu and Izuku began singing.
"Outside the night is quiet
But there's a storm inside.
My thoughts are running riot
and I've got nowhere to hide."
Mina, Momo, Tooru and Kyoka looked at Tsuyu and Momo questioned, "What on earth is he-"
"It sounds like he's singing," Tsuyu answered bluntly as they looked back out the window as Izuku continued.
"I try to talk to myself
in this easy voice.
It's better to pretend
just fake it till you make it
and that's the choice."
"I think I know this song," everyone looked at Kyoka and she sighed as she shook her head, "I know my parents are musicians and composers, but…it's not like I'm cheating or anything, and it's not a test,"
"And why is he singing this?" Tsuyu questioned only to be ignored as Izuku continued.
"Don't you worry
there's no hurry
love will find you again.
Just keep an open heart
lead a brand-new start
love will find you again." Tsuyu walked past her friends and out the house as she stood on the front step and stared at her best friend, a ghost of a smile crossing her lips as Momo, Mina, Tooru and Kyoka walked out of the house behind her.
"I stumbled through my days
just like a smiling ghost.
I try to find this light switch in this craze
I suppose.
And people say," Tsuyu slowly walked up to him, Mina, Momo, Kyoka and Tooru stared at the green-haired duo with small smiles crossing their lips.
"Don't you worry
there's no hurry
love will find you again.
Just keep an open heart
lead a brand-new start
love will find you again.
Just hold your head up high
there's a million reasons why
and love will find you again." Tsuyu stood in front of Izuku and Izuku smiled as he continued.
"Maybe not right now
but I know somehow
love will find you again." The four looked at each other and chuckled as they shook their heads before looking back at the two.
"Don't you worry
there's no hurry
love will find you again, yeah.
Just keep an open heart
make a brand-new start
love will find you again.
Just hold your head up high
there's a million reasons why
love will find you again.
Maybe not right now
but I know somehow
love will find you again.
Love will find you again.
Love will find you again," Izuku stopped and playing and shook his head, "Uh…I uh…Tokoyami was a damn fool for uh….for doing that to you, but hey you know what they sa-" before he could finish, Tsuyu rolled her eyes and tightly hugged him and Izuku's eyes widened, "Um…T-Tsuyu?"
"You idiot," Tsuyu broke from the hug and looked up at her best friend and sighed as she shook her head, "I thought you had something to take care of?"
"I did…I had to find my guitar…I told Yaoyorozu that I was going to show up late, but not to tell you what I was doing…what did she tell you?"
"That you're not an expert when it comes to this sort of thing," Tsuyu looked over her shoulder and saw the playful smile crossing Momo's lips before she sighed and looked back up at Izuku, "So…why? Why do something like this and why after Fumikage was caught cheating on me?" Izuku frowned and shook his head, "Izuku?" Izuku looked at her and Tsuyu tilted her head to the side in confusion, "Izuku?"
"I uh…damn it…I love you, Tsuyu Asui," Tsuyu's eyes widened as Izuku paced in front of her and ran his fingers through his hair, "And the day I was going to tell you, I chickened out and Tokoyami asked you and…and I knew you liked the idiot and…I didn't say anything out of fear of ruining our friendship and-"
"You can sing without a problem, but if you talk to anyone you still ramble," Tsuyu took a deep breath and Izuku looked down at her in confusion, "And why didn't you tell me? And don't use the you didn't want to ruin our friendship excuse because we know that that's a load of crap."
"I…I uh I don't-"
"Did you ever stop and think about how I felt? Maybe I didn't like Fumikage, maybe I was waiting for a green-haired idiot to ask me out," Izuku looked down and Tsuyu's eyes widened as she felt her cheeks begin to warm up, "I…I mean…I…uh…I uh-" Izuku snickered before he began laughing, "Hey, it's not funny, Izuku Midoriya!"
"I'm sorry….I'm sorry," Izuku panted as he tried to catch his breath and shook his head, "I'm sorry, it's just…ever since we were kids, you always spoke your mind and seeing you stumble with your words just now…I never thought I'd see the day," Izuku coughed before stepping closer to her and hugged her, surprising the green-haired teen, "I'm sorry I wasn't here after school, but I wanted to sing that song for you and I needed to find my guitar, otherwise I'll be making a damn fool out of myself,"
"But you always do that, Izuku," Tsuyu lightly chuckled and shook her head before hugging him again, resting her chin on his shoulder, "Thanks, Izuku," Izuku nodded before he hugged her back.
Feeling Izuku's head shift, Tsuyu hummed in confusion, "Is something wrong?"
"We have an audience," breaking from the hug, Tsuyu looked back and saw Momo, Tooru, Kyoka and Mina staring at them, suppressing their laughter, "Uh…none of you heard any of that, right? I mean I uh…no one heard anything and-"
"We saw and heard everything, Midoriya," Mina smirked as she and the others stepped off the front step and over to the green-haired duo, "And it looks like Tsu is in good hands. We'll see you two in school on Monday," before Tsuyu and Izuku could respond, the four walked through the gate and down the street.
Tsuyu looked at Izuku and inhaled slowly, "Well…you came all this way, why don't you come inside and we can…I don't know,"
"Heh, at a loss for words again? Twice in a span of a few-" before he could finish, he felt an elbow jab in him the side and he chuckled, "Worth it…so…you were inviting me to stay for a few hours or-" Tsuyu grabbed him by the wrist and led him towards the house.
The two sat in the living room, lit only be the TV screen, Izuku's arm awkwardly wrapped around Tsuyu's shoulder and Tsuyu leaning up against Izuku, her head on his shoulder, "So," Izuku looked down in confusion as Tsuyu looked up, "You can sing and play the guitar?"
"Oh uh…y-yeah…so-some of the few things you don't know about me, I guess," Izuku chuckled and shook his head as he looked away, "I uh…I'm not usually one to sing in public like that, but given the circumstances, I made an exception and-"
"Wow, I feel honored," Tsuyu rolled her eyes before leaning up against Izuku again, "Thanks again, Izuku,"
Izuku smiled before rubbing her back and kissed the top of her head, "No problem Tsuyu…I would've been here sooner, but like I said, I needed to find my guitar and-"
"I know, and it's fine," Tsuyu took a deep breath and nuzzled closer to her best friend, "But what does this mean for us?" Izuku arched a brow and Tsuyu looked up again, "Well?"
"I uh…I…I'd like to get to know my best friend better…if that's even possible at this point but…if you'd rather be alo-" before he could finish, Tsuyu pressed her lips hard against his and Izuku sat stunned as Tsuyu moved onto of him, wrapping her arms around his neck and Izuku slowly wrapped his arms around Tsuyu's waist.
Tsuyu backed away, a light pink hue crossing her cheeks as she saw a pink hue crossing Izuku's cheeks, "You're an idiot, Izuku…we…we could try to be something and if it doesn't work, then we'll go back to being best friends and not mention any bad experiences during our relationship…deal?"
"You know if that happens, things might not be the same," Tsuyu moaned and Izuku rested his chin on the top of her head, "But…if you're willing to…try then I guess I am too,"
"Heh…that's reassuring," Tsuyu chuckled as she pushed Izuku back against the couch and laid her head on his chest, "And…thanks again, Izuku," Izuku nodded and rubbed her back.
Hearing Tsuyu's breathing even out, he carefully looked down and saw Tsuyu had fallen asleep, "What? I guess school tired you out today," he looked down at his phone and shook his head, "I guess I'm stuck here for the rest of the night…it's fine, it's fine," putting his phone down, he wrapped his arms around Tsuyu and kissed the side of her head as he continued to watch TV.
Okay, I'm not normally one for country music, but after looking all over, I found a song for this one-shot…might be a two-shot if I decide to do a follow-up…and seeing how it was left on somewhat of a cliffhanger, a follow-up is most likely instore. Song used is Love Will Find You Again…I don't really know who the artist is since…again I'm not normally one for country music. As always enjoy everyone and please let me know what you all think.
