Get a hint, will you?

Chapter 2: A box of chocolates

So.. it really is love, then.

That explains why i always feel how i always feel around her.

---------------------------------------------------------

[After school, 5:00pm]

"Hey Deku-kun! Ready to head to my house now? My mom's waiting for us!" Uraraka called from afar. I turned to look at her and headed towards her.

"Are you ready? Then let's go now!" She grabbed my hand, and i was blushing a little from the touch. She ran with me to the bus stop, while holding hands. Once we arrived at the bus stop, she let go of my hand and realised that my face was flushed.

"Are you okay, Deku-kun? Your face is a little red.."

"H-huh? Yeah, i-i'm alright. Thanks Uraraka-san." I turned around, hoping that she wouldn't notice that it got redder.

Once the bus arrived, we went into the bus, and sat next to each other.

I looked at the box of chocolates in my bag. I wanted to give this to her, but.. no. It's too soon.

I looked back at Uraraka. She's fiddling with her fingers. I tried to break the awkwardness between us "Uhm.." but i couldn't get any words out of my mouth.

Then, it was our stop. We stood up and got out of the bus, then walked to Uraraka's home. It was always and have always been like this whenever i headed home with her. But now.. it somewhat feels different, walking beside her.

"Well.. uh.. Uraraka-san. You've never really visited my house, have you? It's usually me who visits yours."

"Oh, that's right, Deku-kun! Can i come over yours sometime? I wanna meet your mom, too!" And she looked at me with her gorgeous auburn eyes.

"Sure, my mom would love it! She's definitely want to see how you- i mean, meet you."

The truth is, i've always talked to my mom about Uraraka. She really suspects i like her. But if i let my mom meet Uraraka, will she tell Uraraka that i like her? I hope not. I trust that my mom won't.

We walked for a bit and finally reached Uraraka's house. She unlocked the door. "Mom, i'm home! And Deku's here again, too!"

"Oh, Izuku! Do you want to call your mom and tell her that you're here?"

"Oh, that's alright. I've already informed my mother. Thank you."

"Well, Deku-kun, let's head up into my room! Cmon!" And once again, she had grabbed my hand and brought me to her room.

She closed the door and we sat down on her bed.

"So, do you maybe wanna watch a movie? What kind of movie do you wanna watch?"

"Yeah, sure. A horror movie would be great." Yeah. Great for her to hug me and cling onto me when she's scared. Just gotta act brave and she'll be like 'Wow, Deku-kun, you're so courageous! Be my boyfriend!' And we'll have our happily ever after. But i guess i'm just being delusional..

"Oh, a horror movie? I know a good one! Tsuyu-chan recommend one to me! I haven't watched it, but it sounds really good!"

Uraraka took the TV remote and gestured me to sit beside her on her small couch. She searched for the movie while i was sitting beside her, fiddling with my fingers.

When i heard the movie start, i looked up at the television and started watching it. To be honest, i think it was a pretty decent movie. So far, there were only minor jumpscares and nothing that bad. But looking back at Uraraka, i could tell that she was terrified.
