Love's Creation (IzukuxMomo)

17: Mindless Mess

'I like her. No, I don't, no I do. Wait.'

"Ninth."

'If I knew I liked her I'd have realized these feelings a lot sooner it's Momo we're talking about, and since I didn't realize them earlier it means I don't have feelings for Momo. Which means I do have feelings for Momo! No wait.'

"Izuku."

'I DO have feelings for her, but I don't. So then if the DO part comes first before the DON'T, that means I have feelings for her! Which means I don't like her-NO WAIT!'

"Izuku."
"Ninth."

'I like Momo! But at the same time, I don't like her. Which means I don't have feelings for her, but it also means she's my safe place. Wait, but if she's my safe place and I don't have feelings for her, that means we can just remain as friends since I trust her a lot to act and be my safe place, and nothing will change between us! Yes! I don't like that! No wait, I do, no wait I don't. WAIT-'

"IZUKU!"
"NINTH!"

'WHAT?!'

"CALM. DOWN."

'I AM CALM! DO YOU NOT SEE ME CALM NANA?! I AM AS PERFECTLY CALM AS ANY CALM PERSON COULD CALL THEMSELVES CALM BY ANY MEANS OF CALLING THEMSELVES CALM! I AM THE CALMEST CALM PERSON THAT COULD EVER BE CALM-'

*SMACK*

'....did you just slap my vestige Nana?'

"Unfortunately I can't slap you in real life so your vestige will have to make do for the better part, just as satisfying though so I'm not complaining. Though if there was anything I would want to slap into your system it would be oh I don't know-CALMING DOWWWWWWN!"

"AGHHHH!" Midoriya groaned as he used the brunt of his wrists to beat away at his forehead, leaning back onto the tree that he sat against with hands then dragging the skin of his cheeks down. Out in the open eye of the public to view him sitting by himself under a tree in a park, a few civilians passing by gave odd looks to the sudden outburst of the man who nervously chuckled and waved at the civilians, those passing cocking a weird eyebrow at Midoriya before turning away. Hit with the freight train of an awkward scenario in public the man sighed with his shoulders slumping. "Why do I even exist anymore."

"Ninth, I must admit. In all the years of One For All Being accumulated I did not think there would be a mind so discombobulated and jumbled up as yours." The First user said. "The disastrous layout of your own thoughts and emotions, truly the brainchild of one Izuku Midoriya."

'Tch, you guys are telling me, I don't even know what my next move is gonna be-HECK I don't even trust myself to not float all the way up into space right now and be torn apart by the vacuum out there. I'm sitting at a part for crying out loud when was the last time I ever thought 'Hey, I wanna go sit at the park'?'

"Never."

'EXACTLY.'

"Ninth all ya gotta do really is just focus on the more important pieces that're gonna take the most to figure out." The Fifth user suggested. "Once you get those out of the way everything's gonna fix itself! Come on we'll help you out, what's the biggest thought that you're struggling to figure out right now?"

'Momo.'

"Okay boom, off to a good start. What about her is bothering you so much?"

'I...I don't know.'
