BROKEN BOY HOW DOES IT FEEL

Realizations

"She's been gone for a while. And it's getting kinda late." He checked his phone and noticed it was already 5 past 7. "I gotta go to bed soon."

The boy sighed, realizing that she probably lost track of time and had forgotten to let him know. He sent her a quick text saying he was gonna shower and that he'll give her back the notebook tomorrow.

Izuku stretched his body to get that good feeling of popping his bones into place.

The feeling of the cold water running through his body was a feeling that he'll forever cherish(I love cold showers). The ninth user of OFA had a special shampoo that his mother recommended him, and it was the first time to try it out.

It's supposed to be good for your hair and smells amazing. "Well, it does smell good."

He lathered his green curls in shampoo, making sure to get every possible strand. He had a foam afro by the time he finished rubbing it in.

He let it sit for two minutes before washing it all away. "Woah, my hair feels so soft like this."

Kyouka had just left Yaoyorozu's room after coming to terms with her feelings. She walked into Izuku's room, ready to apologize for making him wait, but at the same time she entered, he himself had just exited the restroom with only a towel covering his lower body.

'Holy fuck.' She fell in love for a second time that night.

Izuku was too busy with himself that he didn't notice the girl starting heavily at his toned back. His wet hair gave him a new look that she had never seen on him before.

'He looks great with his hair down.'

Izuku began dropping his towel, and Kyouka noticed this and had to stop him before she saw something she wasn't supposed.

"Hey, yo! Sorry, but don't take that off!" He froze. "I'm sorry, I just barged in here, but I got scared to say something, but now I did, and I didn't wanna see something I wasn't supposed to see!"

Izuku turned around to see Kyouka's blushing face, her earphone jacks spazzing out of control, it looked cute.

"Uh. . . huh. Right, ima change in my restroom then. Be right back." His brain had shut down and was now running on autopilot.

'Wow, I didn't think you'd give her a show like that kid.'

'SHUT THE HELL UP NANA!!!' Inside his mind, he was screaming at the old lady. 'Why didn't you tell me she was there?!' He asked them because, realistically, they always kept an eye out for him.

'Wanted to see your reaction.' Nana grinned cheekily, very much enjoying the glare she was getting.

'God damnit you old lady.'

This time she got pissed. 'WHO YOU CALLING OLD YOU BRAT?!' The other vestiges of OFA only watched in silence at this ridiculous interaction.

As he began putting his shirt on, he started to recall the time they met at the rooftop. That night when he was getting fucking lit.

She vibes with him, and he vibes with her. It was a different type of comfort than what he has with Uraraka. Granted, she was his first friend here at UA, but something about Jirou made him much more comfortable with her than he ever felt with the mochi girl. It's something he can't explain.

It might be the fact that Uraraka and Iida always treat him like glass nowadays, everytime he wants to do something they always have to scold him for not asking for help.

HE'S NOT FUCKING BROKEN FOR GOD'S SAKE!"

"You ok kid?" Nana asked worruedly, she felt the spike of anger Izuku suddenly had and she knows why he gets angry. That's what happens when he starts to think and it ain't healthy.

"I'm fine."

Kyouka never questioned him or ever tried to stop him from doing something.

Just the other day, Izuku was lifting weights, and Uraraka and Iida smothered him by helping with every little thing. Uraraka had the audacity to remove the gravity on some of the plates, like what the fuck? There's no point in lifting them anymore if she's just gonna do that.

But he didn't say anything in protest, too afraid he was gonna lash out at them.

And that sucks because those two are acting like overprotective parents, and his mom isn't even like that at all. It gets annoying.

Kyouka never once thought he was weak, and he loved her for that.

Which made him start to think more about the times they hung out.

That time, they went to the beach and smoked while watching the sunset. The time he pranked her by jumping off the roof and making it up to her with cuddles and a movie. He never realized it, but Uraraka was never affectionate like Kyouka was with him.

And it made him realize just how fucking touch starved he was. At the beginning of the school year, there was a time when Aizawa was praising him for doing a good job, and he was being given headpats by his teacher, and it felt awesome. He leaned into the touch, and he just assumed it was normal.

Aizawa kept doing it as time went on because whenever he did it, Izuku reminded him of a cat.

That was one of the few instances he got positive affection. Never once did he receive a pat on the back or anything like that like he'd seen Kirishima do with some of his other classmates.

Kyouka was fulfilling his every needs and was his main source of oxytocin, or cuddle chemicals.

"Sounds like you really care for her kid." Nana patted her boys back and rubbed circles on it. Watching him grow from the shadows from the shy and timid nerd into the heroic and confident young man he is now is a journey she'll treasure forever.

Her only regret was that she wished she could be there for him since the very moment he acquired OFA.

"I might love her. No scratch that, I do love her. Something about her just makes me happy, you know, Nana?" Nana, at this point, was like his second mother, and he would always go to her for advice for the heart. He doubts All Might would know anything about love.

"I know that feeling, kid. I, too, was once in love. I say go for it, kid. This girl is special to you, treasure that." Nana was right. Kyouka is special, and he will treasure her.

Now fully dressed, Izuku stepped out of the restroom and walked towards the girl he loved.

She watched confused as he got closer to her. She felt him wrap one hand around her waist, the other to cup her cheek, and then he leaned in.

Izuku kissed Kyouka.

Chaos ensued.
