You're Just Not My Type (Tenya Iida x OC)

Chapter 38

I tell Takeo that I went with a friend to a café. As Iida and I walk to the café, neither of us says a word. I didn't really want to talk to him. I was still pretty frustrated, mostly because I couldn't understand why he got so upset with me and Bakugo, but it felt like he was mostly scolding Bakugo. He went from the nicest person to the biggest jerk. When we got to the café, I wasn't actually going to let Iida pay but he insisted because he felt bad about today. When we sat down with our drinks is when we finally spoke to one another.

"Sumiye, I apologize for my behavior today, I was completely out of line." He states.

"Well, I'm not the one you should be apologizing to," I state.

"You aren't serious?" He scoffs.

"Yea, I am. It's one thing to scold me, it's another to target my best friend."

"I didn't target him."

"You definitely did. What did you say again, oh and I QUOTE, 'I would hate to see you get in trouble because of your friend.'" I state.

"I just-" He stuttered not giving me any answer.

"Iida, I just want to try and understand why you were so upset. I don't get it. We are all classmates, and I didn't think that Bakugo and I were doing anything worth getting in trouble for. He's my best friend, and he was comforting me." I state. I watched as Iida tried to find a way to express his point of view.

Iida's Pov.

I stared at Sumiye, even though she was upset with me, she was still trying to understand my point of view Not many people would have been so easy to talk to me after I'm rude to one of their best friends. I was astonished by how aware and mature she was. From the girl that I met at the entrance exam, I would have never guessed that she truly does care for everyone. That is probably why she was so upset with me after I yelled at Midoriya at the entrance exam. She, in what Mina has stated, matches other people's energy. She told me that Bakugo was her best friend and that he was only comforting her after what happened earlier. I felt bad, I felt like the only thing I could do was apologize to her, but she wanted an explanation for my behavior, and the truth is that I, myself, didn't even know why I was so upset seeing them together, if I was just worried about them getting in trouble then there was no reason for my rudeness and she knows that. She stares at me, waiting for my answer.

"It just didn't look like you were just friends.." I trail.

"So what did it look like?" She asks.

"Well, it seemed like something out of a shojo manga," I state.

This throws her off guard.

"What?"

"Like it seemed romantic because you were both looking out of a window together and his hand was on your back and your head on his shoulder. I just didn't want a teacher to walk by and you get in trouble..." I state.

Shina nods as she listens to me. She was keeping eye contact with me and making sure that I felt heard, even though I didn't deserve it. My heart began to beat faster. She began talking because I couldn't give her the same attention she had given to me because I focused on how soft her black hair looked, and then how rosy her cheeks were, looking into her bright magenta eyes, lastly, my eyes lingered on her lips when I noticed this I quickly snapped back to reality. My cheeks were bright red.

"Iida, are you ok?" She asked.

"Um.. yea I just- I'm ok," I state.

"OK, good."

I nod but freak out internally.

That was highly inappropriate, I can't believe I even did that.
