Chapter 17: A Mouse Playing Matchmaker

   HOW AM I #1 IN IZUKUXNEJIRE ALREADY???

   But, um... thank you! Thank you so much!

   ~~~

NEJIRE'S POV

   My life is the doomiest, gloomiest life to have ever lived.

   Okay, maybe not the worst life in the history of lives... but it's definitely up there with the bad ones!

   My boyfriend hasn't talked to me since I saw him in the hospital room, and I haven't seen him around campus, either.

   I just want to talk to him. I want to make things right, whatever I did wrong.

   That's a funny word to call him. Boyfriend, I mean.

   It's not like he's undeserving of that title. Far from it. In fact, I wouldn't have found a better boyfriend if I tried.

   At least... I think so...

   He's so sweet... and even though he's technically a villain, I've never felt like he's really shown that side to me.

   I mean, obviously he has, seeing as how I met him when he was still active. And... technically, the only reason why he isn't active is because of me...

   Maybe that's why he's mad at me? Is it because he's having villainous withdrawals? Does he need to go rob a bank to make him feel better?

   Although I don't condone those types of things, I think Guac and I will make an exception if it's necessary.

   Right, Guac?

   I looked over at him. He sat motionless on my bed, slightly squashed from where I was hugging him a few moments prior.

   Thanks, Guac. You always know what to say...

   Unlike me... I just cry...

   When Izuku woke up, I think he may have felt guilt for getting hurt during the hero training. Especially after seeing me. I guess I could have prevented that, had I thought rationally instead of bawling my eyes out in fear about him being severely hurt.

   Why do I always make situations worse? I can't just stay strong when people need me... I just make them feel worse.

   Or maybe it's because he's found another girl in the hero course... and he isn't seeing me because he's a delinquent scumbag who itemizes girls like me...

   No, that's not Izuku...

   The Izuku I know would probably just be feeling sad about making me cry. And, if I could just find him, I could tell him not to worry about me, and that I just overreact to a lot of things. And that he didn't hurt me by being so reckless...

   A knock on my door broke my train of thought, and I groaned at the thought of getting out of bed for anything.

   Groggily, I trudged along my room, making sure to take my sweet time so whoever was there would either leave or make things short when I finally arrived.

   I opened my door to see Mirio stare back with his signature cartoonish smile.

   "Hey, Mopey." He teased.

   "I'm not in the mood today, Mirio... What do you need?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

   "It's about Izuku-"

   I grabbed him by his shirt and threw him into my room. He looked startled, probably by both my reaction, and how I was able to lift him; even though he's probably close to twice my weight.
