Hurtful Realization

A Concern Deep Within

A few days passed and Bakugou was distant from Shoto and Kirishima as well as Kaminari were concerned. Sero sighed and also realized this, as he entered the gym and saw Bakugou lifting weights. Shoto was at the hospital visiting his mother since he actually had a chance to. Fuyumi and Natsuo also arrived shortly after Shoto. Natsuo noticed something was on his mind and approached him, making an excuse.

"Mom, me and Sho will be back. I totally forgot to pick up the tea from my shop you love. We will be back shortly. I haven't bonded with my baby brother until recently. Come on Shoto."

Shoto sighed as he left the hospital with Natsuo.

"You know, I bought her some when I came by it is in her cupboard. You want to know what has been on my mind lately don't you? Why did you decide to ask me now? I was in your job a few days ago , and you didn't seem concerned then. "

Natsuo sighed as he responded.

"One, my big boss was there, and I didn't get my break until after you left. Second you were with that Blonde we all met the last time the asshole invited them over for dinner. Third you were in a conversation with that blonde as you both ordered, and you paid for both. Lastly, you both seemed to be in a rush, so I left it alone. Now tell me what is on your mind Sho, I am your older brother and can read you. Besides, there is a special edition mom loves and I need to get her some. So, start talking we are walking and not using my motorcycle."

He sighed as they walked, and then he responded.

"You see the girl I was dating for almost two years cheated on me with her best friend and has been shoving their relationship in my face every time I turn around. She keeps insisting I am jealous seeing how 'happy' they are together. When every single time she tries to make a play for me I reject her, but she still insists that I am not over her. She keeps saying things like , I can fix that in a minute if you admit that you wish we were together again. When she says those comments, I just walk away and don't respond. Now, I find out both my best friends have a damn crush on me and just don't know what to do anymore. Natsuo it is really hard to explain to you what I am trying to tell you. I just don't know how to approach it and afraid at how you will react."

Natsuo responded as they waited at the crosswalk.

"If it has to do with you liking both your best friends then I would tell you to just talk to them both or take one at a time and explain it. This way you won't be stressing yourself out, if they both like you they will both understand on how you are feeling. If either of them get jealous, then maybe it wasn't meant to be Sho. Also, stop blaming yourself for your ex cheating on you. Keep this in mind, she lost a good boyfriend and is regretting it now. It is time she realizes it is too late for you to give her a second chance. Also, if everything works out with one or both your best friends, show her that you have moved on and maybe she will leave you alone and stop trying to make you jealous."

Shoto smiled as they came to the coffee shop that Natsuo works at and spotted the patch-work villain ordering coffee as the one they were behind. He had a different jacket on, then when he first encountered him at the summer training camp. He watched as the blonde villain smiled and took her coffee from the patch-work villain.

"Thank you so much Dabi-Kun. This seems to be your favorite coffee shop when there is a decent one by our hideout. Is there any particular reason we come all the way here to get our coffee."

Dabi sighed.

"I just don't want to stay too damn close to our hideout crazy. Besides the Barista who always helps me seems to know exactly how I like my coffee. He isn't in today, stop asking dumb questions and being annoying. Just drink your coffee. Come on let's get a seat, I am starving. We didn't get to eat breakfast this morning because Shiggy gave us a damn mission."
