"I'm going to kill him!" Hot flares spark out of Katsuki's hands. HIs intent to harm is pretty obvious. While his reputation as a tough hothead is still renowned throughout the entire student body, those close him will tell you that he's developed somewhat of a soft spot for several people. Katsuki has definitely matured emotionally, but has yet to fully express himself fluidly. This emotional constipation causes him to reflect certain feelings more strongly on those few individuals he cares about deeply. His strong sense of fraternity with Mina, Hanta, Denki, and especially Eijirou is one example. Another would be his mutual respect towards Ochako as a battle opponent. Which goes back to his literal outburst over Shouto. Katsuki is rather overprotective of Momo.
Momo doesn't speak, but gently grabs Katsuki's hand. He calms down.
"How can that be?" Jirou asks. "You two have been dating almost as long as we've been students. How can he fall out of love all of a sudden?"
"I'm not sure. I thought it over so many times, and I can't find a probable reason."
"You're not telling us everything," Katsuki tells her softly.
"Don't force it out of her!"
"I'm not. I simply want to know how she came to that conclusion."
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Without hesitation, Katuski gets up from his seat and rushes to open the door. Suddenly, his typical demeanor resurfaces. "The fuck do you want, Deku."
"Kacchan? Why are you here?"
"Don't ignore me! What are you here for." Izuku is a patient man, but he is in no mood for Katsuki usual rudeness towards him. He shoves him out of the way.
"Oi! You're really pissing me off right now!"
Continuing to ignore him, Izuku unknowingly takes Katsuki's seat. "Hey. I wanted to make sure you're alright. I thought I would leave it up to you two, but I grew very concerned."
"So you know what this is all about?" Kyouka's lobes darted at Izuku. Izuku brushes his green hair back and takes a deep breath. It's taken some time, but Katsuki cooled off and rejoined the group to hear what Izuku has to say.
"Thanks for helping me unpack."
"It's nothing really."
Normally unpacking from spring break is a one-man job, but for some reason Shouto asked Izuku to come over. Izuku thought Shouto needed the extra muscle, but when he came in he noticed that everything was kept already. Shouto had tea ready in two cups. Izuku thought this was strange, but soon realized what his friend meant. He took a couple of sips before the silence was finally broken.
"Midoriya."
"What is it, Todoroki-kun?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Tell me. What does it feel like to love someone?"
Izuku blew on his cup before taking a sip. "Don't you think that's a silly question to ask? You love your mother don't you?"
"That's not what I meant." Izuku set his cup down. He knew that Shouto meant business when he noticed the tone in his voice.
"What are you getting at?"
Shouto winced. "I've been dating Momo since we were freshman, and it only occured to me recently that I never told her that I loved her."
"Oh don't be worried. I'm sure you did, and even if you didn't she can see that you truly care for her. You guys spend almost every waking moment together. Well save for class time because Iida-kun says public displays of affection is a distraction."
"If actions speak louder than words, then surely I would've told her by now. It would role off my tongue so easily, but sadly that's not the case."
"I think you're overthinking this..." Izuku looked at Shouto's eyes. For some reason he couldn't look at him straight as if he has something to hide. He knows Shouto's a straightforward person. So if he's behaving like this then something must be bothering him deeply.
"Todoroki-san…" Shouto eyes turn to him.
"Don't tell me you stopped loving her?" Shouto stayed silent.
"Do you love her?" No answer. Izuku slammed his hands on the ground. "Todoroki-kun!"
"What?!"
"Have you fallen out of love for her?"
"I...I...don't know." As Izuku was about to speak, he hears a loud thud in front of Shouto's door. Opening the door, he could hear the sound of someone running away. He looks down on the floor and finds a box of longjing tea leaves spilled on the floor. He looks back a Shouto. Regret and frustration was clear on his face.
"Todoroki-kun…"
"Please leave. I need to sort this out."
"I know something didn't seem right when he answered. As if he's unsure. I know it's not my place to meddle, but Todoroki-kun is my best friend and I care for you as well." Izuku holds her hands and looks at her. Izuku has always been kind to her, and she can't help but crack a smile. That smile didn't last long, however, and Momo drooped her head once again.
"Thank you for your concern, but I think it's best that we let him be." Without uttering a word Momo got up from her bed and walked out of her room. Puzzled, the three followed her as she went downstairs. Then back up to the boy's half of the dorm. To the fifth floor. And finally in front of Todoroki's room.
"Midoriya-san, how long has it been since your talk with Shouto?"
"That was two days ago. He said he wanted to come back early so he can spend the last two days with you, but…" Izuku paused. He felt like he meddled enough, and was trying to be considerate of Momo's feelings.
"After I ran off I went back to try to talk to him that night but…" Momo turned the door open.
"But he's nowhere to be found." They made their way in. The scanned the room. Everything was neatly kept. Izuku spotted a note resting on top of Shouto's desk.
"I'm sorry, Momo."
