"Is there.. something more to that?"

That sentence could mean the end for me.

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

I could either lie, or tell the truth.

What if i lie and say no? What if she does actually like me?

What if i tell the truth? What if she thinks horribly of me, and doesn't want to be friends anymore? What if she's not interested? What if she has someone else in mind?

"Um.. what do you-"

"Midoriya-kun! Are you coming for dinner? Ya know, we don't have forever."

It was Sero.

"Hm? Oh, right, uh, i- i gotta go, Uraraka-san. I'll see you." I said, walking away.

If Sero hadn't called me, i would have been stuck in that situation forever. I was saved.

"Sero-kun, thank you.. i- i-"

"Heh, don't worry Midoriya!" He said, flashing a smile at me. "Kaminari saw you in an awkward situation and asked you to call for me. Plus, Bakugou's getting mad-"

"PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU EXTRAS AREN'T HELPING ME SET THE TABLE AT ALL! I COOKED FOR YOU AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN HELP!!"

"Here, Bakugou. I'll help you, j-just don't um.. shout..?" Kirishima said, putting his hand on Kacchan's shoulder, chuckling awkwardly.

"Tch." Kacchan said, looking away. "I didn't say i needed your help, sh*tty hair."

"But you said-" Kirishima's sentence was cut off by Kacchan pushing him away. Kirishima sighed and still helped Kacchan anyway.

"Well, anyways, back to the topic. Uraraka-san will find out your secret, sooner or later. You gotta tell her someday. And when i say someday, i mean soon." Sero continued.

Shoji stepped in the conversation. "Well, you could always still try and go slowly. But if you would wanna risk it, then go for it. Sero-kun's right. He might find out sooner or later. But Midoriya, remember; we're not forcing you to do this. Do it at your own will, at your own pace. Whenever you're ready."

"I mean.. w-well.. i'm not ready yet, so.. (sigh). I just hope she forgets about this.."

"It'd be a shame if she's taken before you confessed, though. So you better make up your mind soon." Todoroki said.

Kaminari nudged Todoroki's elbow. "Hey, you didn't have to say that! Midoriya might get.. you know.." and whispered something that i couldn't hear.

"Oh. Sorry, Midoriya-kun." Todoroki said. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

"It's fine, i guess i needed the push anyway.. like you all said, i need to do it soon. It's now or never."

Kacchan's shouting was then heard from the dining area. We faced there to see Kirishima bowing down and apologizing.

"APOLOGIZING WON'T DO ANYTHING, YOU ID**T! YOU JUST BROKE A PLATE!"

"I'm sorry, Bakugou! I didn't mean to! I'll buy another one!" Kirishima bowed down.

We all sighed. Kacchan was always the type to get angry easily, and Kirishima definitely triggered it.

"Well, here, i made one. That way, there won't be a plate less." Yaoyorozu said, walking to us. "And Bakugou-kun, you really shouldn't get all worked up over small things like these."

"SHUT UP PONYTAIL!" He said as Yaoyorozu handed him the plate.

"Ah.. thanks, Yaoyorozu-san, for covering up my own mistake.." Kirishima thanked her.
