Chapter 35: Shinsou's confession?

No one's perspective

It's been over two days, and Izuku has yet to respond to this unknown caller's text message; he felt so many emotions that day. Izuku told Bakugou about the text message the next day and showed him the previous texts, telling his blond boyfriend how he found out about the dare. 

In any case, the two individuals thought about what to do. Bakugou suggested beating the guy's ass after tracking him down with Izuku's phone, but Izuku wasn't going to let that slide. On the other hand, Izuku liked Bakugou's idea of tracing back the caller and catching him by surprise; he wanted to know who was behind the screen. 

On Monday afternoon, Izuku sat on his bed, pencil in his mouth, while a notebook lay on his bent legs as he tried to plan this operation. As Izuku's brain fries, Shinsou brings him a glass of apple juice to calm his nerves, followed by a comforting smile. 

"Freckles, it's winter break—you should be doing something other than school-related," Shinsou says as he sits in his desk chair and rolls his way over to Izuku's bed, not knowing what Izuku is doing. 

"I-I need to get this done before I can start relaxing..." Izuku lies right through his teeth to Shinsou. He knows he shouldn't lie to him; he's like his best friend. But Izuku can't let anyone know until he's going through with the 'plan.' So, he plays along. 

"Geez, whatever floats your boat," Shinsou replies with a sigh escaping his lips. He pushes himself away from Izuku with his feet pushing up against the bed, putting his cup on his desk. "I'm heading out; I got a date," The purple head says as he gets up and starts to get ready; Izuku raises his eyebrow with curiosity. 

"Huh? Did I hear you correctly? A date?" Izuku asked questions while closing the book and putting the pencil between the pages. He puts it beside him and puts his full attention on the male, elbow digging into his kneecap while his head rests on his palm. 

"Yeah, I know. I shouldn't be dating someone right now—"

"Dude, what are you talking about? Of course, you should! You're a total hottie!" Izuku interrupts his friend, showing two pairs of shirts in the mirror and hesitantly moving them back and forth. 

Shinsou stops after hearing the compliment from Izuku; his face instantly turns red. He shook his head before tossing the left shirt to the side to put the other shirt in his hand. 

"I guess..., but if I were such a hottie like you say I am, then the person I like should look at me," Shinsou says with a sigh; his expression changes. Izuku gets up from his bed and walks over to Shinsou, who's pulling his pants up. "Look at me instead of him," Shinsou mumbles. 

"When would you tell me you had a crush on someone?" Izuku says after he ignores the male mumble. Shinsou turns away from Izuku and returns to getting ready, ignoring Izuku's question. "Oi, don't ignore me!"

"I'm going to be late for my date, Izuku," Shinsou says Izuku's real name, surprising the greenhead. He was lost for words while eyeing Shinsou's movements; he noticed him angry and sad. 

"Shinsou, wait—" Izuku says as he reaches for the door, but it slams in his face by Shinsou. The boy on the other side of the door is on the verge of tears, his heart aching and his face scrunching as he lightly leans against the door. 

"I-I can't keep waiting for him—I should have never waited for him..." Shinsou mutters before he walks away from the door and starts heading to the bus stop by the school.
