Bakugo- Friday 

After we drove home the old hag tried to feed me a whole four course meal. I ate some but then hid in my room. I told her I wanted space and to get a nap in before I had to get dressed for the party.

It wasn't a total lie. I did try and nap, but my mind was running a mile a minute. Thoughts of Deku, my feelings, what it all meant raced through me. I couldn't catch up. So I laid in bed and just stewed with all the feelings flowing through me.

*****

I walked through the gym doors looking for my classmates. I locked eyes on Deku, Kirishima, Kaminari, Shoji and Jiro sitting at a round table watching the rest of our class on the dance floor.

I started towards the table when Deku got up and headed towards the tables in the back of the room on the other side of the dance floor.

"Hey!" Kaminari and Jiro said in unison

"Glad you could make it man!" Kirishima said clapping a hand on my back as Deku sat back down at the table

"Yeah me too." I said smiling at him

I watched as Deku ignored us and watch Ida twirl Uraraka around the dance floor.

I took this chance to check him out. He looked good. He wore a seafoam green suit jacket and pants that matched the color of his eyes, a white buttom up under shirt that was pretty much see thorough. You could see all the ridges of his abs and pecks. I licked my lips thinking of kissing and licking at his treasure trail again. And he was wear copper brown loafers that made him look like a sexy CEO or something. He looked so hot and put together.

"Let's go get food." Kaminari said nudging towards the food tables

"Yeah sure." Kirishima commented as he stood up from our table

"Deku, you coming?" I asked hoping he'd look at me

"No, I'm okay. I ate a bit before I came. Thanks though." he said looking past me, I squinted my eyes down at him. I couldn't tell if he was lying or not.

"Okay." I said as I followed Kirishima and Kaminari

"You really think he's okay?" I asked the two of them as we grabbed our plates

"I don't know. Right now? No. I thought once he saw that you were alive and breathing he'd relax a little and try and be himself again..." Kirishima said as he scooped up from fruit and put it on his plate

"I don't know how the rest of the year is going to be if he stays this void of emotion Deku. He's kinda the glue that holds us altogether you know?" Kaminari asked

"Yeah I know what you mean. Maybe him finding his soulmate tonight will cheer him up?" I asked shrugging my shoulders

"Yeah maybe." the both agreed as we finished piling our plates with food and grabbing a cup of punch

We walked back to the table as I song I don't recognize comes over the speakers. As we walk up to the table Deku is sitting there with his eyes closed, taking deep breathes as he squeezes his phone in his hand his knuckles and fingers lose all their color.

Kirishima and Kaminiari notice and shrug their shoulders as me.

"Are you okay?" I asked confused and concerned

"Yeah. I just need some air." Deku replied with a huff before sprinting out of the gym, everyone at the table turned and watched him book it

"I'm gunna go check on him." I tell the table pointing over my shoulder the way Deku ran after I finished half of my plate

"Sure. Just be back before Midnight!" Kaminari yelled after me

I gave him a thumbs-up over my shoulder.

I check out by the front stairs first, before I decided to make the trek up the six flights of stairs to the roof. If he wasn't up here then I was done looking for him. I walked to the top and opened the old squeaky door gently.

I looked around the corner and saw Deku sitting on the ledge of the roof, feet dangling over. My heart jumped in my chest.

"You're not going to jump right?" I asked trying not to frighten him

"Haha no. I've thought about it before. A few years ago. But not today." he said with a shrug.

He thought about it before? Was it only once? What was going through his mind then? Had he attempted before then too?

"What's up?" He asked me over his shoulder pulling me out of my thoughts

"I wanted to check on you. Make sure you were okay.." I whispered into the night sky

I walked to the edge of the building and decided if he was going to be reckless so was I. I sat next to him and draped my legs over the edge next to his.

I'm not afraid of heights by any means. I mean I can fly through the air thanks to my quirk. But wasn't he a little worried abou being up here? Was he hoping he'd accidently slip and fall?

"I didn't get a chance to respond to you earlier. In the hospital." I said looking down at the little sidewalk below us

"It's fine. You don't have to say anything. I didn't expect you to say anything." he replied keeping his voice neutral

"Come on, lets go. It's almost midnight." He said after a beat, he slowly turned around and put his feet back on the roof before standing up and taking a few steps away from me

"Are you scared?" I asked not looking at him

"Yes." he answered quickly

"Are you?" He asked taking a step towards me

"Yes. I'm not good with my feelings. I don't know how to express my self besides being angry and yelling. I care, I do. I just don't know any other way to show it." I said annoyed with myself

"You're mom said the same thing earlier. She told me until she met your dad she was like that too. She said she hoped your soulmate would help you. I know your soulmate will be perfect for you and show you all the love languages." He said as he held out his hand to help me back over the ledge

"I hope she's right." I said as we walked back to the door

"I know she is." He said seriously
