"Come on, Deku. I want to show you something." As Uraraka pulled me by the arm, I was left wondering what she possibly wanted to show me. We all were enjoying a Christmas movie when she tried to get my attention. At first, I didn't think much of it. Maybe she had learned a new move while on work studies.

But as we neared the elevator I noticed something. My heart started racing as the thing came into view. I somewhat hoped that what she wanted to show me wasn't that. For what I saw was a mistletoe.

And to my disbelief she pulled me under and held both my hands. As she interlocked our fingers my heart started racing and my face began to burn. What exactly was I supposed to do in this situation? She is my friend after all.

Before I knew it I watched as Uraraka's face came closer to mine. In a panic I forcefully pulled my hands away and started to backup. The look of sadness and disappointment on her face hurt. But it's not like I see her in that way. "I'm sorry."

I watched as tears began to slide down her face. A part of me felt horrible for doing this to her. But at what cause would lying to her make things better. She then ran to the staircase and disappeared from my sight.

…

I can't believe I was made to stay longer than I wanted. At least the movie wasn't all that crappie. But in the corner of my eye I noticed something. I shouldn't really care what round face or Deku does, but I couldn't stop watching.

It's when I saw where round face was taking Deku that I felt a pinch in my chest. I shouldn't be feeling this. But noticing how they were nearing a mistletoe made me feel like throwing up.

But I had to remind myself it's not my place to say anything. After everything I've done, my words won't matter. And as I watched them near the mistletoe the more I tried to not look. Yet something held me in place.

The moment Deku and round face was under I started preparing for my heart to break. But to my shock, Deku pulled away from her. I may not be able to hear but I could faintly read Deku's lips saying sorry.

I then watched as round face began to cry. Deku hates seeing someone cry. Was she trying to use that to her advantage? At that very thought I was enraged. How dare she use such tactics to win over Deku!

It didn't take long for round face to finally run off. Good. But the look on Deku's face was another matter altogether. Knowing him, he's probably blaming himself for the whole ordeal. That should never have happened.

At that, I made a mental note that round face was absolutely not to be anywhere near Deku by themselves. I may not be worthy to be by Deku's side, but sure as hell anyone who wants him has to get past me.

I then watched as Deku put on his coat and boot, and went outside. This isn't good. What was I going to do with that emotional nerd? Before long everyone else has left to their rooms, besides me and Deku.

I got my gear and went outside. It didn't take long to spot the nerd sitting on the steps. "You're going to catch a cold, nerd."

"I hurt Uraraka." I just fucking knew it. So I went over and sat with him. "I made her cry. But it's not fair. I only see her as a friend."

"And here I thought you liked round face."

I watched as Deku wiped away his tears before looking at me. "What made you think that?"

"For starters, you're always blushing when it comes to her. And how you always talk with her. Not to mention, how you're always with her."

"You take that back." Deku shoved my shoulder, as he puffed his face. Damn, nerd. Why did you go and get cute on me? "It's not my fault she was the first new person I talked to when entering UA. At that, she's the first girl that I ever spoke with. You should have known this. Oh, that's right! How would you, when you always bullied me!"

At that, I felt that pain in my chest again. I pinched Deku's nose before looking away from him. "Whatever." With that I started to stand up and wipe away the snow from my legs. "Now get your ass up and get inside, you damn idiot."

I didn't leave him room to protest, as I grabbed him by the collar. "You don't have to be so mean, Kacchan!" He then fully got up and brushed the snow off himself. "Happy now?"

"Nope. You're still outside."

"Well, so are you!" With that we both walked back inside the dorms. As we went over to the elevator I just so happened to look up. To my disappointment that mistletoe was still there. But at the same time I wasn't too sure if I was actually disappointed.

I looked down at Deku and happened to see that he was blushing. It didn't help that he was fidgeting with the base of his shirt as he avoided looking at me. Did he also notice what we were under?

At that very thought, I felt my face go on fire. What exactly was I supposed to do? And just my luck that the elevator was taking forever to reach the bottom floor. Besides that, why haven't either of us moved away?

I felt my heart trying to pound out my chest, as I panicked on what to do. At that, I don't think I could ever do that. I don't feel that's something I'll ever have, with how much pain I inflicted onto Deku. But maybe, just maybe there was something I could do.

That's when I reached for his face and just pinched his cheek. I don't get why I did it, but I did. And Deku's face and ears turned completely red. That wasn't until he also reached for my face and pinched my cheek. If the elevator didn't open when it did I think I would have fainted. Along with being grateful Deku decided to move first.

The elevator ride was quiet between us. But the moment it came to his floor, Deku ran out. And when I finally reached my room I just laid in bed, completely in shock. "I pinched his cheek. And we were… were… under a mistletoe. Does that count as a… kiss?" Saying that word made me feel light headed and giddy at the same time. I even fell asleep with the biggest smile I ever had before.

…

As I sat wondering about what just happened, I watched the snow continue to fall. I was still in disbelief that Uraraka pulled my underneath a mistletoe. What am I supposed to say or do? It isn't fair to either of us.

While crying over the fact I hurt my friend, I heard footsteps stop behind me. "You're going to catch a cold, nerd." Oh great. It's Kacchan.

"And here I thought you liked round face." I couldn't believe my ears! How dare he! It's not like I had many friends. Let alone a female one! Kacchan can be so mean to me. Suddenly he pinched my nose as he was getting up. "Whatever."

Once we had removed our shoes and hung our coats, we made our way to the elevator. As we did such, I saw that awful mistletoe again. And as we ended up stepping underneath, all because it was just before the elevator, I felt somewhat nervous.

I just hoped Kacchan didn't notice the mistletoe. Especially when my face was starting to burn as I realized how close Kacchan really was. We could practically rub our elbows together with how close we were. Maybe if I don't say anything he won't notice. It's not like he'll kiss me.

Oh gosh. Just the mere thought of Kacchan possibly kissing me had my heart racing. I know it'll never happen but it's such a fitting thought for the moment. If I could enjoy the thought until the elevator came then I'll be happy.

That was until Kacchan pinched my cheek. And when I looked at him, he had a deep shade of pink across his face. Was this…? Without a second thought I pinched his cheek back. Whatever this moment was, it was too perfect.

When I finally got to my room I felt like I could die happy now. I was not only blessed that Kacchan and I were on somewhat speaking terms. But also I was extremely happy at the fact we pinched each other's cheek while under the mistletoe. Pinching cheek?

It was then I started recalling every single time Kacchan had ever pinched my cheeks. From when we first met to just moments ago. In fact, even when he bullied me he had always pinched my cheeks. Especially if we were alone during the time he was being mean to me.

And that's when it hit me. It's possible that pinching my cheeks has always been his way of kissing. Now that thought had me screaming into my pillow with glee.
