The following day was awkward all around. That morning it was a scene to see such an innocent couple avoid each other so much that even some of our classmates took notice.
Midoriya beet red, can barely look at Ochako's face but still managed to say hello as she quickly nodded and walked fast back to her seat. But something tells me that their feelings are mutual and everything will work out in the end.
But me and explosion boy? I won't entertain the fact there's a possibility he may like me back.
This went on until lunch as I group up with Jiro and Momo and head towards our usual table in the cafeteria. But on the way I felt a light tap on my back and looked behind to see Ochako, looking even more troubled than she was earlier this morning.
She wanted to eat lunch with me, understanding what it meant. Probably feeling awkward eating lunch with Midoriya and the others. So it was best to grab our lunch and go to our spot from yesterday. Quickly apologizing to Jiro and Momo in which they don't really mind.
"What should I do y/n, I can't even face him!" She buried her face in her hands, quickly forgetting the half eaten sandwich on her lap as I patted her again in comfort.
"At one point you'll have to, so just take your time with it okay" I replied as I tried to reassure her the best that I could.
She let out a deep breath and agreed.
"So this is where you are kero"
We both flinched back squealing to see Asui popping behind the bench we sat on.
"You scared us Asui!" Ochako exclaimed, placing her hand on her chest.
"Sorry. But I was worried about you Ochako and followed you here, kero." Then the froggy female turn to me "I apologize for scaring you too y/n"
"It's alright and I'm sorry for ditching you guys earlier." Ochako nervously laughs as she scratches the back of her head.
"Ochako did something happen between you and Midoriya?" She placed a finger on her wide thinly closed lip, and took a closer look to her now very flustered best friend. Ochako stared at me pleading for some kind of assistance and I replied.
"I think you should tell her. I think she can help you more than I ever will" I chuckled
She slumped in defeat and pouted at me for siding with her friend and I shrugged. After such a scare I scoot over to the left and open a spot for Asui to sit in the middle. Giving them space to talk it out among friends.
"I...umm well might have told Deku I like him yesterday, as in more than just a friend and err... ran off." She stuttered and I can almost imagine puffs of steam coming out the poor brunette's head.
Lunch went by in a blur, as Ochako explained what she later told to me yesterday towards her frog-like friend as I ate my lunch in silence. Then as the three of us pack up and start walking the roughened asphalt pathway, that leads back inside the school building. The two best friends in front of me separated as Ochako lagged behind and started walking beside me.
"You know I'm not the best person for saying this, but you should confess to Bakugo also" She whispered to me.
I blushed at the thought of confessing to him but frowned "I'll most likely get rejected. I'm not very close to him compared to you and Midoriya." I whispered back
It was an undeniable truth. When sometimes I'll eat lunch with the bakusquad mainly because of Jiro, since she's currently dating the lightning boy of our class. Yet we very rarely talk and only hangout due to mutual friend groups.
I'm a hundred percent sure he doesn't even know my name...
"But wouldn't it be a huge relief to get it out of your chest? I'll be honest I never planned to confess to begin with. Deku to me is such an admiring person that I look up to a lot. He's always giving his all of being the bright shining hero that will help anyone in need, that I thought he won't have time of day to look for a relationship..." She trailed off and I couldn't help but resonate with what she said.
After all, his childhood friend is no different despite their many differences. The angry hot head that I've fallen in love with since my first year in UA, also had a bigger goal of being the number one hero someday and nothing else can compete.
"What changed your mind?" I asked
She took her time to answer my question, "Well it's kind of selfish... but I just want him to know. I know it can jeopardize our friendship but it didn't feel right to let this feeling fade away without even telling him."
I didn't say anything back and pondered even more of what she said, as we silently opened the doors that lead inside the school building.
Maybe it's best to just confess after all. Knowing the most likely possibility that he won't reciprocate.
But I wanted him to know. There's this unexplained silly childish feeling that wants to see him unravel, just a little by me. If he's even capable of it.
Seeing the sign of our class ahead, Ochako stopped abruptly out of nowhere, having a sudden look of pure determination that got me stopping as well.
"I'm going to talk to him after school. I made up my mind" She clenched her hands into a fist and let out a small yosh! and I grin, happy she finally made up her decision.
"If that's the case I'll also confess to Bakugo tomorrow." I said feeling a little determined as well.
We both giggle as our small laughs echo the now vacant school hallway. The two of us entered the now filled classroom with a lot more at ease and confident than before. Content of sharing a sense of comradery between two childhood rivals that we both fallen deeply in love to.
