"Do you love me?"

Shoto was staring at me with such an intensity. I tried to find words, to tell him how i felt, but i couldn't find anything. I didn't... love him. I heard him take a heavy sigh and walk closer. My back was against the wall by the door, his chest just barely grazing the front of me. He looked down into my eyes as he spoke.

"I used my fire against Midoriya. It was only for a second, but it happened. I know you saw it."

"I-" I tried to answer but he continued talking.

"I want to be a hero without my father's help. I want to be strong with the ice i was given, rejecting everything about him. I am not his puppet." He cupped my face gently. "...And I'm not your love."  My eyes widened at what he said and the gentle tone. He leaned in and gave me a soft, slow, gentle kiss. He was saying good bye.

"Shoto... I..."

"I'll see you at the top." He stepped back, taking another deep breath. I stood frozen as he walked out, shutting the door behind him. We were done. I wasnt sure how to react. A soft knock came from the door before it slowly opened. Mina stepped in and gently shut it behind her.

"Hey... You ok (y/n)?" I bit my lip.

"I don't... i don't know. Im sad... but also i feel relief? I'm so confused. My first boyfriend just broke up with me. Shouldn't i be more upset?" I let out an odd laugh. "Am i crazy?" Mina couldnt help but giggle sympathetically.

"I mean yeah, just a little. But hey, the best people are so its fine." We smiled at each other. "Lets go eat some lunch.

After eating I excused myself to go to the bathroom... But i really was going into a room to mentally prepare myself for what was coming. Today had been so overwhelming so far, and i knew it still wasnt over. As I wondered around trying to find to an empty room when i felt a warm hand grab my wrist. I looked up right as Kacchan started to drag me off. 

"Kacchan..?" He was silent, looking straight ahead. He pulled me into a waiting room and shut the door. Why are these boys dragging me into these rooms? Before i could ask what was up, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close, engulfing me into hug. I felt my heart flip, like it had been holding something back for so long. I had been holding back.

"Are you ok? What did he do?" His voice was soft.

"I'm ok. We... he..." How do i phrase this? "He and are aren't together anymore." There was silence before Kacchan let out a breathy chuckle.

"What a fucking idiot." He tightened his grip on me ever so gently. I could feel my face heating up. "He doesn't know what he just lost." He released me from his grip, even though i didnt really want him to. He tilted my chin up slightly. "But now you can celebrate my win with me and we dont have to worry about him." He leaned down and gave my forehead a soft kiss. He stepped back, his signature cocky grin plastered across his face. "Watch me come out on top." And with that he walked out, leaving the door open for me. I felt my face shift into a determined smile. He's aiming for the top, and i am too. More now than ever. As i walked back out to see my class i saw the rest of the girls dressed as cheerleaders and looking rather frustrated.
