Emotional Rainbow

Doodles

Aizawa chose that moment to walk into the room. "Alright, everybody take your seats. Iida, please collect the reports and put them on my desk."

I got mine out of my bag and placed it on my desk to be collected. Class begins and it's the usual boring crap. I try to pay attention and write my notes like I usually do but I keep getting distracted.

As I'm listening to Aizawa go on about ways to approach villains, I find my self staring at Shitty Hair. It looks like he's doodling on his paper instead of taking actual notes. This is a class we're both pretty decent at, so reading the material is enough for us to understand it.

I find myself following his hand movements, trying to decipher what he's drawing. I try to lean a little bit further in his direction without being too obvious about it. I still can't see it. I don't know why I'm so fascinated by what he's drawing, but I can't stop myself.

I've had enough and stand up. Aizawa glances in my direction. I nod at him and say "Restroom" and go to walk out. He nods back at me. As I walk closer to Shitty Hair, I look over at him. He grins up at me. I then look down at his paper and see he's been writing names and doodling around them.

My eyes widen when I realize that my name along with his own are the only two I see. His hands then move to cover up the paper. Shit, I think he knows I saw it. I turn my head quickly and walk faster to get out of the room.

My mind is a complete shitstorm now. I get to the restroom and go to the sinks. I look at myself in the mirror. My face is red, I mean like really red. My heart is beating so loud I think, if anyone walks in here, they'll be able to hear it.

Can it really be true? Does he actually like me back. Fuck, how am I going to get through today and tomorrow before I tell him I like him. I need to talk with Mina and maybe even Denki, since he sort of already knows about me liking Shitty Hair. Crap, how long have I been in here having my breakdown. I need to get it together and get back to class.

I splash some cold water on my face hoping to get rid of the redness. I take a few deep breaths to calm down my heart. I take one last look in the mirror and head back to class.

I take another calming breath before I walk back into the classroom. This time, I don't look at him, I try to keep my usual scowl on my face and just walk to my desk. When I sit down, I take a chance and glance at Mina. She is beaming.

She purposely looks at Shitty Hair, then down at his desk, and back up to me. She saw his drawings too. I give her a quick half smile and then turn away before I start fucking blushing again. I'm starting to feel like a sap in a fucking romance manga. Not that I read them or anything.

The rest of the morning goes on like normal. When lunch time comes I realize I didn't bring anything to eat today. I've been avoiding the cafeteria all week due to my hair.

"Shit." I say out loud as I notice someone walking over towards me.

"What's up, bro?" Denki asks.

"I forgot my lunch. Guess I'll be hungry today." As I cross my arms and slump back down in my desk.

"I got ya man," he smiles at me. "I'll grab some grub and bring it back to you. No worries."

"Thanks, and um," I glance around to see that no one is too close to us. "Could you come back alone? I need to talk to you about something." I say in a whisper.

He glances over his shoulder and then looks back at me with a sly grin, "something or someone?" He says while giving me a wink.

"Shut up," I mumble. "Just hurry up and get back here."

I fold my arms on top of my desk and rest my head there. I am kind of tired but I also want to hide my red face.

"Sure thing, man. Sure thing." I hear him say as he turns to walk out of the classroom.

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know I'm being nudged awake by Denki. "Hey I got you food. Wake up, man."

I sit up and look around a bit confused at first. He hands me the food and I yawn. "Thanks." I start to eat as he sits down next to me.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" He says with a gleam in his eye.

"Ugh!" I huff. "Fine. You were right, I like Shitty Hair." I whisper shout at him. "Are you willing to help me or not?"

His whole face lights up. "Yes! This is going to be awesome. Kiri is going to so happy!"

I just look at him for a moment. "Uh, what do you mean?"

"Oh yea," he shrugs. "I guess I can tell you since I know you like him back now. Um, he's kinda liked you since first year. But since none of us really knew if you'd be into guys or not, he never tried."

"Are you shitting me right now." I shout. I can't even try to keep myself calm now.

"Bro, keep it down." He waves his hands at me like he's trying to push down my voice. "Lunch is almost over and people'll be coming back in here any minute." He glances back over his shoulder checking to see if anyone is here yet. "So, what's the plan, man?"

"I need you to keep him busy after school." I start, "I'm meeting with Mina and she's going to help me plan out our day tomorrow. I plan on confessing to him tomorrow night."

"I gotcha." He nods. "Leave it me. I'll grab Hanta, and Hitoshi too. We'll all keep him busy. Aaannd, I won't tell him so it'll be a surprise." He stands up to go back to his desk as other people are starting to come back in. He puts his hand on my shoulder and gives it a little squeeze. "Good luck, man."

"Thanks." I mumble. I've decided that I'm just gonna let Mina make all the plans regarding tomorrow. Knowing that he really does like me has me more excited then nervous.

Now, all I have to worry about is facing Deku tonight.
