What Is Love? [Izuku x Camie]

Chapter 2: Confusion and Conclusions

A/N: Sorry for the late chapter, enjoy :)

FLASHBACK

Camie was behind him, waiting for him to finish paying for his item and once he was done and turned around, he had a look of absolute shock on his face. She was confused, was there something on her face, did he know her? Her suspicions were confirmed as he heard him say her name.

"...Camie?" He said quietly, though she still heard it.

As he stared at her, Camie had one thought running through her mind.

Who was this person? And why had he looked at her like he'd seen her before?

FLASHBACK END

The two continued to stare at each other, Camie in confusion, Izuku in shock. Izuku hadn't expected to see her again, much less in Musutafu. Izuku had to admit, what Camie did during the exams had made for a pretty memorable moment in his brain.  

Though Camie was just confused, she'd never seen this person in her entire life, yet here he was, looking at her like they were friends, or at least knew who each other were. It was making her a bit uncomfortable.

She wasn't uncomfortable because of him staring, she had gotten stares before. Her body was very mature for her age and she had developed as much as any woman normally did. Naturally, members of the opposite sex would indeed be attracted to her figure, and couldn't help but stare. She noticed this but just passed it off as boys being boys.

No, she was uncomfortable because the idea of someone knowing her in Musutafu was slim to none. So this whole interaction made her wonder if something had happened that she wasn't aware of or couldn't remember. 

She also didn't have any sort of reputation, so no matter how much she thought, she couldn't come up with a single reason why he would seem to know her. After nearly a minute of silence, Camie decided to break the ice.

"Do I know you?" Camie asked, causing Izuku to realize that he had been staring at her intently. He blushed in embarrassment.

"O-Oh! I'm s-sorry for staring!" Izuku stuttered and walked out of the store. He didn't expect to see her again and in Musutafu of all places, wasn't she from Shiketsu? 

No matter why she was in Musutafu, Camie hadn't seemed to remember him, which was a bit of a surprise considering how she acted towards him during the Provisional License Exams. It hadn't even been more than a month, and she had forgotten about him that quickly. Though Izuku did consider himself to be pretty plain, so it wasn't that much of a surprise.

Since it seemed that she didn't remember him, Izuku thought it would be best to leave her alone. Mainly because he didn't know how to properly explain how they met, about how she basically pinned him down, and how he saw her nearly naked. 

Izuku didn't think he would ever forget what happened, it was the first time he'd ever seen the female body without clothes. If it weren't for the fact that he was fighting for his Provisional License, he probably would've fainted right then and there. Just trying to recall the whole scenario was causing his face to resemble a tomato. Plus, Izuku wasn't sure if Camie would even believe him. After all, who would believe it if you told them that you saw them naked? It'd just make you look like a creep and a pervert, something Izuku would rather avoid.

Camie, on the other hand, was confused about how she should perceive what just happened. She'd never seen that guy in her life yet he seemed to recognize her. Maybe she was just overthinking everything, she had been thinking a lot today. Still, she thought it was strange and she had to admit, she was pretty curious.

She also didn't have anything else to do, so she let her curiosity take hold. After she paid for her items, she left the store in a hurry, looking for the green-haired person again. She frantically looked around, wanting to ask him how he knew her. Unfortunately for her, there was no sign of him in the groups of people walking on the sidewalks. 

Deciding that the chances of finding him were slim, she decided to give up, and just headed to where she would be staying for the next month.

Fate however, had other plans.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Izuku decided to just leave Camie alone and head to the dorms, he figured that her being in Musutafu was none of his business. Plus, she didn't seem to remember him and would probably be freaked out by a seemingly random person asking about her. He figured that he'd just leave and never see her again, but things could never be that easy for him.

Izuku was nearly at the dorms, he would be there in about 10 minutes if he kept walking at the same pace when he'd also concluded that he should visit his mother while he was at it. He was going to be at the dorms for the entire month, so he figured that he might as well catch up with his mom. After all, she had almost always supported him on his journey of becoming a hero.

So, he made a detour and walked down the street that led to his home. 

He didn't know how, but somehow he and Camie had crossed paths once again, which was strange, considering the fact that he had left the store before Camie had, so the chances of them coming across each other again were slim. Apparently not slim enough though.

Once he'd reached his apartment, Izuku had to stop his jaw from hitting the ground. He didn't know how in the world he managed to come across her again, but there she was. Camie was making her way toward the same apartment complex he was headed. Maybe she was visiting a relative?

Izuku just did his best to mind his own business and head to the apartment. But surprisingly, for a plain-looking person, he stood out and was recognized almost immediately by Camie. Though that was probably because they were the only people who were going to the apartments.

"Oh, you're that guy from earlier." Camie pointed out as they neared the same destination. 

"Y-Yeah, hello." Izuku said, not really knowing what else to say.

"I wanted to catch up to you earlier and ask, why did you look at me like that when we were in the store?" Camie asked.

Ok, she probably could've worded that better but the nagging feeling that there was something more to how he looked at her wouldn't leave her. She started to wonder if she was just overthinking, but that couldn't be it, right?

Izuku figured that now would probably be the best time to explain how they had come across each other in the provisional license exams, whether she believed it or not. He just hoped that by the end of his explanation, Camie didn't think of him as a creep, or worse, a pervert. He definitely did not want to be put in the same category as Mineta.

"W-Well...." He started nervously.
