Iida found himself a pitch black room, one not his own. Looking around in the vast emptiness, he sees a certain blonde, electric teen facing away from him. Throughout his ears, rings a cheerful voice. "You know, you don't have to lie to yourself." It echoes off the non-existent walls, filling his ears, his mind, his heart. The blonde figure in front of him turns around to face him. "Iida, thank you..."

The blue-haired boy awoke in a cold sweat, looking around to find himself in his own room and not the endless void. He took a deep breath and let himself take a moment to collect himself. Once calmed down, Iida decided that he should try to figure out what his dream was supposed to mean. It had that same phrase that Mina said, the same phrase that made absolutely no sense to him. A thought came to him, another piece to fit into this complex puzzle of feelings.

'Maybe you ARE denying your feelings.'

Everything then made a lot more sense to Iida. The feelings welling up in his stomach weren't some weird sickness, they were love. Iida let this new information set in. Kaminari, love, Kaminari, love... The word that had circled in his mind before, now circling around with a new one. It's just that this time, he had a reason as to why. He didn't know exactly how to process this information, the boy had not only thought he was straight his whole life but had also tried to suppress any 'homosexual urges.' He wasn't sure what his peers would think of him.

'The class rep? Gay? Preposterous!' Surely, that'd be what they'd think.

And so, Iida decided to stay in his tiny shell, continue to act as though he were straight, and forget that he even liked Kaminari in that way in the first place! There's no way something like that could go wrong, right?

---------------------------------------------------------

It was morning now, a warm, sunny morning. Iida was making his way to class as he usually would. He felt weird however, it was the same feeling from the prior night and the day at the mall, the same feeling that he got whenever he thought of Kaminari, the same fuzzy feeling in his stomach. He knew why now of course, but that wasn't the problem. No, the problem here was that he didn't want to feel this feeling at all. He brushed aside the feeling for now, as he always did, and focused on getting to class.

He had way more important things to deal with other than some unimportant feeling.

The blue-haired boy finally made it to class, sitting down in his seat as he neatly set his currently needed items on his desk. He was, of course, one of the first people in class again. Since he had not much else to do, he started to study for an upcoming test. Hoping to not only retain knowledge, but also forget about his feelings towards Kaminari. And it was working! Until...

"Good morning, Iida!" The same cheerful voice he'd been trying to avoid rang in his ears. The taller male simply responded with a "Good morning, Kaminari." because why wouldn't he? Proper manners, you know. Besides that, Iida was losing his shit on the inside. The same fuzzy feeling rose back up in his stomach, this time with a cherry of guilt on this wondrous sundae of shame. He would've loved to just tear out his insides right then and there, but he didn't because that would be not only horrifying, but also incredibly disrespectful.

And so, as class went on, Iida tried his hardest to suppress every ounce of human emotion he had left in him, because fuck those, am I right? Luckily, mostly everything went by normally.

To Iida at least. Mostly everyone else had taken notice to how distant the boy was today, especially Kaminari.
