Who is Irome Bakugo? (mha fanfic)

Finally Time

The two of us stared awkwardly and angrily at each other before finally Aku asked, "So are you going to say anything or?"

"Are you going to apologize or?" I ask  mocking him.

"Why do I have to apologize?! I haven't done anything!" He says acting clueless.

"Exactly! You didn't do a damn thing! You could at least act like you are attracted to me!" I say back throwing my arms out.

"Iro what are you even saying? Obviously I'm attracted to you, you're the prettiest girl I've ever met!" He yells out the compliment.

"Then why don't you act like it! You make it seem like avoiding my body is the easiest thing in the world!" I yell back.

"Because you want to take things slow! And I'm trying to respect that!" He screams stepping closer in a pleading manner.

"Looking at me isn't taking things fast! I acknowledged you when you didn't have your shirt on! Are you trying to say I made you uncomfortable?" I ask him reminding him of that morning.

"Of course not, but I'm not you, and I have a lot more experience. It's different." He says finally starting to calm down.

"It doesn't have to be, I wanted you to look, to compliment me, to do anything. You not doing anything but making me feel like my body isn't even worth looking at." I try to explain.

Aku raises his eyebrow at me, "So you're saying you were insecure over what I thought of your body?"

I throw my hands up defensively, "What?! No!"

He face palms, "Irome if you want to talk then we both need to be honest with each other. I'm not going to doubt your abilities if you told me you felt insecure."

"But I'm not insecure! I just want you to like my body because if you don't it makes me feel like shit!" I express angrily.

"That's insecurity Iro! You're insecure over how I feel about your body! Just admit it, please!" He begs me to agree.

But that's not insecurity, right? No I can't be. I just care about how he feels about me, that's normal. And it's normal to feel bad if he didn't like me or my body. That's not- oh shit, I am insecure aren't I?

Embarrassed I look up at Aku and whisper, "Okay, so maybe I'm a little insecure. What's that change?"

Aku smiles and steps closer to me, "It means now I know how to help fix this."

He goes to put his hand on my arm but I move away, "How does it mean that? All I said was I'm insecure."

"Iro, you need to look at me," he says gently.

Slowly I turn back and look up to meet his gaze, "Fine."

"You are gorgeous okay? Like the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and I'm sorry you didn't think I appreciated you enough. I do, I'm thankful everyday that I'm dating someone like you. And if you're really ready then we can do more together, but I'm not going to force it and I don't want you to either, okay?" He says putting both hands on my arms and smiling.

Hearing how sincere he sounded I start to smile to, "Damn, who knew you could talk like that Aku."

He laughs a little, "Shut up, I just can't go have you thinking I don't care about you." His hand caresses my arm helping to put me at ease.

I smile back at him, "Andddd he's back."

"Come on now, we should head back," he says rolling his eyes at your comment.

You nod but then look up at him gently tugging on the sleeve of his shirt, "Can you kiss me just before we go back though? For all the trouble you've caused me?"
